Chapter 383 The person you like will definitely like you

“Isn’t this actually a ghost story?!”

Hearing Li Xiaolang's words, Xiaoying, who had been fascinated by the story, was surprised and murmured, "No wonder it's not that scary. I thought the ghost stories in your country weren't scary at all."

"Although Xia's story is indeed quite good, I still want to hear some ghost stories."

Naoko sighed softly, then looked at Elio with great interest and asked, "What about Hiiragi-san? There should be a lot of supernatural novels in the UK, did you know that?"

"Well..."

Elio thought for a moment and smiled, "Then I will tell you a story about the snowy mountains, just like Xia Yu."

"Is it a ghost story?"

Naoko asked in advance, and Sakura silently made the sign of the cross and prayed that it was not the case. She just hoped that Elio's story would be like Xia's, a wonderful ordinary story.

In response to Naoko's question, Elio just smiled and did not answer her question. Instead, he said, "You will know after I tell you."

After that, he began to speak in a calm voice: "In the snowy mountains in winter, it is said that sometimes the weather, which was clear just now, will suddenly become cloudy."

"Then a cold wind blew down from the mountains and it started snowing, and as the snow got heavier..."

Faced with this slightly scary story, everyone listened quietly, while Sakura huddled up in a ball, listening with trembling.

"It is said that a snow woman will appear, and she will cause an avalanche, freezing everyone she touches to death."

The short story was told quickly, and after listening to it, Yamazaki asked curiously: "This plot is very similar to the Japanese snow woman story."

"Yes, because this is the story of the Japanese Snow Woman." Elio replied with a smile.

"Eh? Aren't you going to tell a story about a foreign country?"

Naoko looked at him in confusion. He thought Elio would tell stories about his own country like Xia.

"Since it's rare for us to be here, I think it's better to tell a story that fits this place."

After hearing this horror story, Sakura was so nervous that she huddled up into a ball. She couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Um, um, that's not the story about this ski resort, right?"

However, in response to Sakura's fearful question, Elio smiled and replied, "This seems to be a story circulating in this area."

"Uh-huh!"

Looking at Xiaoying's frightened look, Li Xiaolang paused for a second and suggested, "We have to get up early tomorrow, let's go to bed."

If they continued chatting, they might even tell ghost stories, which would scare Sakura even more.

Hearing what Li Xiaolang said, Qianchun turned his head to look at the clock hanging on the wall. Seeing that the hour hand had pointed to nine o'clock, he replied subconsciously.

"Really? It's already so late."

"Then let's disband."

"Okay."

Hearing everyone say that the night talk was over, Sakura couldn't help but hold her chest and let out a breath. It was finally over. Fortunately, there was only a ghost story.

On the way back, Naoko couldn't help but murmured with a little longing: "Snow Girl, it would be great if I could meet her."

Sakura, who was left behind, heard this and shook her head, "I don't want to see it."

"Maybe she's very beautiful."

"But I don't want to be frozen."

"But that story wasn't that scary. I heard two wonderful stories, but it's a pity that neither of them were ghost stories."

"Luckily Xia wasn't telling a ghost story, otherwise I might have lost my legs, and Elio's story was scary enough."

Hearing the conversation between the two people in front, Elio, who was behind, walked up and said, "Sakura, it turns out you are afraid of listening to ghost stories."

Hearing this, Sakura nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "Yes."

"Then you should have said it earlier."

"But Naoko seems to love listening to ghost stories."

Hearing Sakura's gentle answer, Elio just smiled faintly. After he finished speaking, Sakura asked again curiously.

"By the way, Elio, is there anything you're afraid of?"

"Of course I do."

"What is it?"

"It's a secret."

After saying this, Elio turned his head to look at the snow-capped mountains outside the window with a thoughtful smile on his face.

Midnight, girls' bedroom.

Sakura huddled silently in bed, wrapping herself tightly in the quilt, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. The story about the snow girl that Elio told her at night echoed in her mind.

After tossing and turning for a long time and seeing that everyone else was asleep, Sakura had no choice but to get dressed and go to the lounge to warm herself by the fire.

Maybe you can kill some time and fall asleep when you feel sleepy.

At the same time, in the lounge.

Someone had added firewood to the fireplace, and the dim flames brought some light and warmth to the place.

In front of the fireplace, Li Xiaolang was sitting alone, staring at the fire in a daze.

Looking at the burning fire, somehow his thoughts drifted away, and the image of Sakura smiling and calling his name also emerged in his mind one by one.

"Sakura..."

"what's up?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded beside me.

Li Xiaolang was stunned and quickly turned his head to look. Xiaoying also tilted her head slightly and looked at him.

Their eyes met, and the air was silent for a moment.
At this moment, Li Xiaolang, who was confused, embarrassed, had a pounding heart, was nervous, shy, ashamed, and blushed to the point of exploding, forced himself to suppress all the emotions in his heart and replied calmly.

"W-what's the matter?"

As he spoke, he clenched his fists tightly and stood up, so as to suppress the psychological activities in his mind at the moment.

Seeing Li Xiaolang's expression, Xiaoying smiled helplessly and said, "That's what I wanted to ask you..."

After saying that, Sakura came around from behind the sofa and also sat in front of the fireplace. Seeing this, Li Syaoran also sat down again.

The fire burned quietly, the warm flames flickering slightly, and neither of them spoke, just quietly feeling the warm atmosphere.

But soon, Li Syaoran couldn't help but turn his gaze to Sakura beside him, and Sakura happened to turn around and said.

"By the way, thank you for today."

"Eh?"

"Because I was scared, that's why you suggested that we go to bed."

Seeing that Xiaoying had noticed his intention, Li Xiaolang shyly turned his head away and denied proudly: "I'm not..."

"Hehehe~"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Sakura couldn't help but laugh out loud. Hearing the laughter, Li Syaoran looked over in confusion.

Sakura looked at him with a smile and said, "You always say "I'm not...", but it's not really like that, right?"

Once again, Xiaoying hit the nail on the head. Li Xiaolang immediately said embarrassedly: "You...why do you think that?"

"I know, because the little wolf is very gentle."

Li Xiaolang blushed and was stunned when he heard the brisk praise. After a few seconds, he turned his head away and said, "Wen, gentle or something..."

"what!"

Suddenly, Sakura stood up from the fireplace in surprise and trotted to the French window.

"Snowing."

Looking at the falling snow outside the window, Sakura couldn't help but turn her head to look at Li Xiaolang and asked, "Shall we go outside and take a look?"

"Good, good."

After getting the answer, Sakura quickly opened the window, ran outside excitedly, and then ran around excitedly.

Li Syaoran, who followed behind, shrank his body and looked at Xiaoying who was excited in the snow. His face blushed again and his eyes were dull.

After running around excitedly, Sakura soon noticed a brown bear statue leaning against the railing and couldn't help but move closer and say, "How cute."

"Look, little wolf, it's so cute."

"Ah."

Li Xiaolang, who was walking over with his hands in his pockets, took a look and nodded in response.

"By the way, Syaoran, have you given away your teddy bear?" Sakura stood up and suddenly looked at Li Syaoran curiously and asked.

Li Xiaolang was stunned, blushed slightly and turned his head away, and replied: "Not yet."

"I haven't either. It looks like we're both the same."

Sakura smiled foolishly and added: "But don't worry, Xiaolang. You are so gentle and excellent. The person you like will definitely like you too."

After hearing this, Li Syaoran was stunned, and looked at Xiaoying with a blush. His lips trembled slightly and he was about to say something when Xiaoying suddenly clenched her fists and encouraged him.

"So you have to work hard too! Right!"

"Even if you say so, it doesn't mean you can succeed just by trying harder..." Li Syaoran lowered his head and mumbled something unclearly, but Sakura didn't hear it.

Feeling the snow getting heavier, Sakura said again: "The snow is getting heavier. We will catch a cold. Let's go inside quickly."

"it is good."

The two of them then went into the house together, and after roasting the fire for a while, they separated and planned to go back to sleep.

The next day, dawn.

ski facility.

Today is the time to see the results of the training. Yoshiyuki Terada stood at the bottom of the ski resort, watching Sakura sliding down from the top of the ski resort.

When Sakura stopped, he smiled and said, "Very good skating. Very good. You have improved a lot."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the next student and shouted, "Next, Li!"

Hearing that it was his turn, Li Xiaolang also slid down slowly. After finding the feeling, he slid down very smoothly, without any sign of awkwardness like yesterday.

Looking at Li Xiaolang's movements, Terada Yoshiyuki also smiled and said, "Very good, Li skates very well too."

After all the students had skated in front of him, Terada Yoshiyuki announced loudly: "The next is free time. You can skate by yourselves before noon."

"Okay!"
After the announcement, Terada Yoshiyuki looked down at Li Syaoran and Sakura beside him and said, "Kinomoto and Li, you should have no problem skating the slightly more difficult intermediate routes."

"it is good!"

"But don't be too aggressive."

After giving his instructions, Terada Yoshiyuki left the place. Sakura looked at Li Syaoran and asked, "Syaoran, how is it? Shall we go skating?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaolang turned his head slightly and said, "No, I'm still not going."

After saying that, he didn't say why and just skated away alone.

Soon after he slid away, snowflakes began to fall from the sky again, and the originally clear sky gradually became covered with layers of dark clouds.

　In the Kinomoto Snow and Wind Lounge, Taoist Li was thinking about his beloved wife in the middle of the night.

　　It is said that in the middle of the night, Li Xiaolang was thinking about someone, and suddenly someone called him from behind. When he turned around, he recognized the person he was thinking about, Kinomoto. In Tokyo, the two of them had quarreled and fought. Kinomoto was a Clow Magician in Tokyo before, and was trying to capture the Clow Cards to take responsibility for himself. But Li Xiaolang appeared and snatched him away, saying that Kinomoto was still a child. When the Clow Cards appeared, he rushed to rescue him. However, the two of them fought for the cards day and night, and they fell in love with each other over time. Li Xiaolang secretly fell in love with him, and was obsessed with him. He was lingering in front of the fire, but he didn't expect to run into him here tonight.
