Chapter 370 The Sudden Arrival of Berry Bell

School day, art class.

Today's art class did not go outside the school. The students just came to the lawn outside the teaching building and painted the scenery on campus.

The teacher did not give any specific requirements, so the students all painted the scenery they wanted to paint in their own way.

Sakura is currently holding a paintbrush and painting her own paintings. Her paintings, as always, are full of personal characteristics and are the kind that you will never forget after just one look.

After she colored her own painting, Sakura looked at it for a few seconds, and couldn't help but put the sketchbook down, sighing deeply, "It's so hard to draw. I should have chosen a simpler scene earlier."

After talking to herself, she looked at the other people who were painting. She was sitting here alone painting at the moment, and she was not painting the same scenery as Tomoyo and the others.

After noticing Elio sitting on the bench, she walked over with some curiosity. She had seen the paintings of Tomoyo, Xia and Syaoran, but she had never seen Elio's paintings.

"Elliot, can I see your painting?"

"sure."

Hearing Sakura's question, Elio smiled and looked up, then handed the painting in his hand to Sakura who was walking over. His paintings were simple realistic styles without any personal characteristics.

Looking at this painting that was similar to Tomoyo's, Sakura subconsciously exclaimed, "Amazing! I didn't expect you, Elio, are so good at painting."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Seeing Elio smiling at her, Sakura subconsciously said, "...Sure enough, they look alike."

"what?"

"Elliot, you and my dad really look alike. You both wear glasses, and you're both very gentle and capable of doing everything."

At this point, Xiaoying clapped her hands and continued, "And the tone of your voice when you called me "Xiaoying" is exactly the same. How about this, next time you come to my house, I will introduce you to each other."

In response to Sakura's words, Elio, who knew what was going on, smiled and said, "Okay."

After talking to Elio about this, Sakura picked up Elio's painting again and admired it carefully. When would her painting skills become so good?
Coincidentally, at this moment, in front of the two of them, Li Xiaolang was passing by with his painting tools, and then he looked over subconsciously.

At this glance, he noticed Sakura who was admiring the painting. Li Syaoran blinked, and the scene of yesterday suddenly emerged in his mind. He couldn't help blushing for a moment.

Suddenly, as if noticing his gaze, Elio looked up. Facing Elio's faint smile, Li Xiaolang came to his senses and walked forward again.

Now when he sees Elio talking to Sakura, he no longer has that strange feeling of discomfort, because Tomoyo and Xia Yu have both told him that the look Elio gives Sakura is not the kind of love look between a man and a woman.

If he showed hostility towards Elio now, it would mean that he didn't know right from wrong. He was not that childish guy like Xia Yu.

On the other side, Sakura, who was looking at the painting, seemed to notice Elio's abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Because someone is watching this side." Elio turned around and smiled.

Hearing this, Sakura looked around and didn't see anyone looking in this direction, so she couldn't help but ask, "Is anyone looking at you?"

"You're the one being looked at, Sakura."

"I?"

Seeing Sakura's dazed look, Elio couldn't help but said with a smile: "He's really working hard."

"Eh?"

Sakura was stunned and confused when she heard this. It seemed that Tomoyo had also said this before?

The painting time passed slowly, and Li Xiaolang found a landscape with a good composition and started his painting.

But not long after he started writing, he suddenly heard footsteps and a voice behind him.

"What a pity yesterday."

"What!?"

Li Xiaolang, who was frightened, stood up holding his sketchbook and looked at Zhise who was speaking with a blushing face.

"What else could it be? Of course, you finally mustered up the courage to confess your feelings to Sakura, but it was ruined by the ungrateful Kero. What a pity."

Xia Yu, who came with him, put his hand on Li Xiaolang's shoulder and said to him with a smile: "Do you want to come again today? Don't worry, I will help you get rid of all the idlers, and you will definitely not be disturbed."

Facing the expectant gazes of Xia Yu and Zhi Shi, Li Xiaolang opened his mouth and shook his head calmly.

"I can't tell her yet."

"What?"

Xia Yu exclaimed in surprise. The atmosphere has become so tense, and you say you can't do it?
"Because after I calmed down yesterday, I suddenly thought of a promise."

Li Xiaolang recalled the agreement he had made with Mei Ling and explained to the two of them: "Yesterday I just thought that I must tell her, but after I calmed down, I remembered that there were some things I had to deal with first."

"What could be more important than confessing your feelings?"

Xia Yu asked back, but Zhishi thought about it and asked speculatively: "Is it related to Meiling?"

"Yes."

Hearing Zhishi's guess, Li Xiaolang nodded and said, "I have made an agreement with Meiling that I will be her fiancé until I find someone I like, so..."

"You want to tell Meiling about your current mood, right?" Upon hearing this, Zhishi guessed what Li Xiaolang was thinking at the moment.

Li Xiaolang did not deny it and continued, "So I called her last night and told her I had something to tell her in person."

"What did Meiling say?"

"She asked me if I couldn't tell her over the phone. I told her it was important and I had to tell her in person. Meiling said she knew and hung up the phone."

Having said that, Li Syaoran sat down again, looked in the direction of Sakura, and murmured, "I want to have a good talk with Meiling, and then... tell Sakura."

After hearing Li Xiaolang's explanation, Xia Yu sighed, reached out and patted Li Xiaolang on the shoulder and said, "You are serious and responsible, no wonder Meiling likes you. I hope Meiling won't be too sad." Li Xiaolang lowered his head and said nothing after hearing this. He knew that Meiling would definitely be sad after he said this, but if he kept it hidden, it would make Meiling even sadder.

It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. I just hope that after being rejected by him, Meiling can find someone she truly loves.

"Then when are you going to see Meiling?" Zhishi asked Li Xiaolang.

"I can go back to Hong Kong during the winter vacation, then..."

"Do you think, with Meiling's impatience, she will really wait for you to find her?" Before Li Xiaolang could finish his words, Xia Yu suddenly turned his head with an inexplicable expression and looked at a figure rushing towards him from a distance.

"This one……"

"This guy is right, I can't wait that long!"

The next second, Meiling appeared in front of the three people with her twin ponytails swinging.

"Berry Bell!?" ×2
Seeing Li Meiling suddenly appear, Zhishi and Li Xiaolang were both startled. Li Meiling also frowned and looked at the surprised Li Xiaolang.

But soon, she smiled again and said, "I'll go to the classroom and wait for you. It's not easy to come to Japan, so I want to go see my former classmates first."

After saying that, Li Meiling, who had hurried here, hurriedly ran towards the classroom.

Looking at Li Meiling's departing back, Li Xiaolang drooped his shoulders and sighed helplessly: "I should have thought of this earlier. How could Meiling wait until the winter vacation..."

Not long after, the three of them returned to the classroom. At this time, Li Meiling was surrounded by a large group of classmates who were chattering non-stop.

When Sakura learned that Li Meiling had suddenly returned, she hurried back to the classroom and looked at Li Syaoran's seat.

"Raspberry Bell!"

"long time no see!"

Seeing Xiaoying appear, Li Meiling also stood up and waved to greet her. Seeing this, Xiaoying hurried over and asked.

"Why did you come suddenly?"

"I'm here to do something."

"How long will you stay here?"

"I still have to go to school, so I have to rush back tomorrow."

Hearing this, the students who gathered around exclaimed at the same time and chattered.

"tomorrow?"

"I'm going back soon."

"Pity."

Sakura also quickly asked: "What about today?"

"today?"

"After school today, how about we go out and play together? After all, it's a rare opportunity for us to get together."

But after she finished speaking, Sakura realized belatedly and said, "By the way, Meiling, you are here to do something, so you may not be free."

Seeing Xiaoying's silly yet considerate look, Li Meiling laughed heartily: "Ahahaha, you're still the same, Kinomoto."

"Huh?"

"Then let's meet at the school gate after school."

Seeing that Li Meiling agreed to her proposal, Xiaoying smiled again and nodded.

"Ok!"

After confirming the reunion after school, Sakura said goodbye to Meiling and planned to go to the stairwell to make a phone call to inform Xiaoke who was still at home about what happened today.

A few minutes later, in the stairwell.

Listening to the game sounds coming from the phone and Xiaoke's intense keystrokes, Xiaoying subconsciously said, "Xiaoke, you're playing video games again, can you take a break?"

"It's Sakura. I'm going to break 400 million points in one more shot. I can't rest!"

Hearing the intense keystrokes coming from the phone, Sakura sighed helplessly and said, "I'm going out with Meiling today, so I'll be back a little late. Remember to turn on the electric hot pot."

"Is that stinky girl here?"

"Yes, but she said she would be going back tomorrow, so I wanted to walk around with her and chat today."

"Tell that little bitch that next time I'll show her how cool I am and tell her not to get so scared that her legs go limp, Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola—"

After Xiaoke finished speaking on the phone, the sound of the game Ora Ora came again. Xiaoying said helplessly: "Don't forget the electric hot pot..."

"Ah ah--!!!"

As Sakura finished speaking, Xiao Ke on the other end of the phone suddenly let out a very miserable cry. Although no one knew what happened, it was definitely related to the game.

Sakura hung up the phone reluctantly, hoping that Xiao Ke would not forget what she had just said.

　"Weak, please you are weak, now you know who is the boss!" (Xiao Ke in an intense game)
　　"Xiao Ke, you're playing video games again, can you take a break?" (Sakura holding snacks)
　　"It's annoying!" (Continue playing the game)
　　"I'm talking to you, do you hear me?" (a little angry)

　　"Please stop annoying me!" (Turning around to refute)

　　"I just said a few words to you and you said I was annoying. I just wanted you to take a break, but all you do all day is eat snacks and play video games." (Put down the snacks and start mumbling unhappily)

　　“Fuck, I lost, it’s all your fault, please!” (smashing the controller and flying out of the window angrily)
　　That day, I just ran away from home because I was annoyed by Sakura. Who would have thought... (Xiao Ke's later recollection)
　　Screen transition——

　　(The word count is limited, so the rest is up to your imagination. Although this is a joke, boys still have to protect themselves when they are outside, and the same goes for girls. Reality is not as beautiful as the animation world!)
