Chapter 392 Cold Moon Ceremony
School day, early morning.
Monday.
Li Syaoran came to the classroom early alone. Today he and Xiaoying were on duty, so he came a little earlier.
"Little Wolf!"
Just as he was changing the flowers in the vase, Sakura's voice suddenly rang out, which made him stop and look back.
When he saw Sakura running over with a smile on her face, he blushed and whispered back, "Good morning."
"Xiaolang, do you want to attend the temple fair?" Xiaoying ran up to Li Xiaolang with a smile and asked.
"what?"
"The temple fair is this Sunday at Tsukimine Shrine. Shall we go together?"
Sakura asked happily. She saw a sign on the way to school this morning, which said that there would be a Kangetsu Festival at Tsukamine Shrine on Sunday this week.
The moment she saw it, she thought of Li Xiaolang, because Li Xiaolang had comforted her when she was sad last time, so she wanted to thank Xiaolang and give him a gift.
But after asking, seeing that Li Xiaolang did not respond, Xiaoying frowned slightly and said: "Do you have something else? Are you not free on Sunday?"
"without!"
Li Xiaolang blushed and replied in a daze, "I... I'm fine!"
"really?"
"Really, really."
“Wow! That’s great—!”
Sakura raised her hands high and cheered, then quickly extended her little finger to Li Xiaolang, leaned closer and smiled, "Then let's make a deal. Come to my house at six o'clock on Sunday. It's a deal!"
Li Syaoran reached out his hand blankly and made a pinky promise with Xiaoying. His face gradually turned red, and his whole body turned red again.
After making the agreement, Sakura looked at the vase in Li Syaoran's hand, smiled and took it, saying, "I'll go change the water."
After saying that, she took the vase and left the classroom briskly. After a few seconds, Li Xiaolang shook his head vigorously and came back to his senses.
But before he could make any move, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"It's wonderful that she has her old smile back."
Li Xiaolang was startled when he heard this. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Elio had come to the classroom at some point and was standing silently beside him.
Noticing Li Xiaolang looking over, Elio smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Why thank me?" Li Xiaolang looked at him puzzledly.
"Because the person who cheered Sakura up again was you."
"I didn't do anything, and...why are you thanking me?"
In response to Li Xiaolang's question, Elio just smiled faintly and did not explain. At this moment, Xia Yu walked into the classroom.
"Good morning, both of you."
Seeing Elio and Li Xiaolang in the classroom, he waved and said hello.
"Good morning."
"morning."
Elio turned around and smiled in response, and Li Xiaolang also nodded and responded.
When returning to his seat, Xia Yu saw that Li Xiaolang's blush had not yet faded, so he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Elio curiously.
"So…what happened? Why is he blushing again?"
"Sakura has regained her usual smile."
Elio chuckled. Xia Yu heard this and looked at Li Xiaolang and said in a long voice: "Oh - I see."
He smiled at Li Xiaolang, blinked and said, "Well done, you really seized the opportunity. Come on, there is more you need to do!"
"What do you mean?"
"Of course that's what I mean. Those who understand will understand, and those who don't understand won't understand even if I tell them. But you will understand sooner or later, so there's no need for me to explain the meaning to you."
"..."
Li Xiaolang was speechless. It seemed like these words said something, but in fact, they meant nothing. This person was really annoying.
"Good morning!"
Just as they were chatting, a lively greeting suddenly sounded. Sakura, who had already changed the water, walked over holding a vase, and said to Elio and Xia Yu who had just arrived in the classroom.
"You guys are so early."
"Because I need to go to the library to look up some information."
Elio smiled and replied, then looked at Sakura and said, "Sakura, you seem very happy today, did something good happen to you?"
"Eh? Is it obvious?" Sakura smiled embarrassedly.
"It's obvious that you, like someone else, show your emotions on your face." Xia Yu also replied.
"Someone?"
"Yes, some honest man."
Xia Yu glanced at Li Xiaolang, and as if Li Xiaolang noticed Xia Yu's gaze, he snorted and ignored him.
"Really……"
Sakura smiled foolishly, scratched her head and said, "Because there is a Kangetsu Festival at Tsukimine Shrine this Sunday, Syaoran and I have an appointment to go to the temple fair, so I am happy."
After these words were spoken, Li Syaoran, who was listening nearby, lowered his head and blushed again, but he couldn't help but subconsciously look at Xiaoying.
Seeing the happiness on Xiaoying's face, Xia Yu's already red face turned even redder. After hearing Xiaoying's explanation, Xia Yu murmured, "The temple fair on Sunday?"
If there is a summer festival in the summer, then there will naturally be a Cold Moon Festival in late winter and early spring. However, unlike the grand summer festival, the Cold Moon Festival is slightly inferior.
But as a festival, Tsukimine Shrine also holds temple fairs, which are also very lively.
"How about it? Classmate Xia, are you going too?" Seeing that Xia Yu seemed to have finished thinking, Xiaoying asked curiously.
Xia Yu came back to his senses after hearing this and chuckled, "Of course I have to go. After all, who doesn't like a lively temple fair?"
"Will you come with us then?"
"No, I also have someone I want to meet up with, so we can just meet at the temple fair."
After hearing this answer, Sakura did not continue to ask questions, but nodded and smiled: "Okay then."
The morning time passed slowly, and soon, Xia Yu, who was sitting in his seat thinking silently, also waited for the person he wanted to meet.
"Good morning, Tomoyo."
"Good morning."
Zhishi smiled and greeted back, then walked towards her seat with her schoolbag on her back. However, as soon as she sat down, Xia Yu behind her patted her shoulder gently.
After Zhishi turned around, Xia Yu asked directly: "Zhishi, do you have anything to do this Sunday?"
"Hmm... Xia Jun wants to invite me to the temple fair?"
"Huh? How did you know!?"
Xia Yu exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't said anything yet? Zhishi already knew about it. Was he also the kind of person who showed his thoughts on his face?
He shouldn't have shown anything, and he didn't say anything.
Seeing Xia Yu's surprised look, Zhi Shi covered his mouth and chuckled, "Because I thought so too. I saw a sign on the way here saying that there will be a Kangetsu Festival at Tsukimine Shrine on Sunday."
"That's it..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yu felt relieved. It turned out that they just thought the same thing, and Zhishi didn't see what he was thinking.
Thinking of this, he scratched his cheek and asked, "By the way, um... Zhishi, can you promise me one thing?"
"what's up?"
"That's right, can I make the clothes you're going to wear to the temple fair this time?"
Xia Yu asked with some anticipation. He felt that if he didn't say anything, Chise would definitely secretly sew the kimonos for the two of them to wear in private.
Back then, when he and Tomoyo hadn’t started dating yet, it was Tomoyo who sewed a kimono for him during the first summer festival.
Now that they have started dating, he also wants to sew a piece of clothing for Chise at this temple fair.
"Mr. Xia, do you want to sew a piece of clothing for me to wear at the temple fair?" Zhishi asked with a smile after hearing what Xia Yu said.
"Yes, I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."
Xia Yu also admitted it openly. It was not something embarrassing. Besides, Zhishi had already guessed it, so there was naturally no need to hide it.
Seeing Xia Yu admit it, Zhishi narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Then I am looking forward to Xia Jun's gift."
She didn't ask what kind of clothes Xia Yu would sew for her, because as long as it was sewed by Xia Yu, she would accept it with joy. After all, it was a gift carefully prepared for her by the person she loved.
Besides, Xia Yu's skills were not worse than hers, and were even much better than hers, so she wouldn't worry about whether the clothes would be ugly or not. Now she just had to look forward to it happily.
Time passed by little by little, and the school routine continued.
However, during this period, Xia Yu was not the only one who sewed clothes. But compared to Xia Yu's ease, the other person who was secretly sewing clothes was a little miserable.
On Tuesday, Li Syaoran frowned as he looked at the bandages wrapped around Sakura's fingers.
On Wednesday, the number of Sakura's bandaged fingers increased, and Li Syaoran was a little confused, thinking he had seen it wrong.
On Thursday, the bandages were added again, this time all five fingers were wrapped in bandages and a Band-Aid was also put on the other hand.
On Friday, Li Syaoran thought Xiaoying was doing something dangerous and started to ask about it, but Xiaoying smiled awkwardly and evaded the question.
Saturday……
"How can you be okay?! Your hands are full of wounds!"
Li Syaoran grabbed Xiaoying's hands and looked at her fingers that were covered with bandages and Band-Aids. He was very excited.
Xiaoying responded to Li Xiaolang's excitement and replied apologetically: "It's really okay."
Seeing Xiaoying still saying this, Li Xiaolang's eyes softened, and he smiled helplessly: "Can't you tell me?"
"Little Wolf..."
Sakura was somewhat moved, but still said nothing.
Seeing Sakura's troubled look, Li Syaoran was about to say it was okay when Tomoyo suddenly appeared and smiled at Sakura, "Sakura, you made an appointment with me to go shopping today, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Sakura nodded immediately, and Tomoyo took Sakura's hand and walked out of the classroom.
Before leaving, Sakura waved to Li Syaoran and said, "It's really okay! I'll be waiting for you at home at six o'clock tomorrow night!"
"it is good……"
Looking at Sakura leaving, Li Syaoran could only raise his hand and wave helplessly.
"Okay, okay, everything will be settled tomorrow anyway, don't worry."
Seeing that Li Xiaolang was still looking at Xiaoying as she left with a dazed look on his face, Xia Yu, who had also stood up, patted Li Xiaolang on the shoulder and said something.
Hearing this, Li Xiaolang snorted and said, "You don't need to tell me. Since she doesn't want to tell me, I will naturally respect her choice."
But having said that, Li Xiaolang still couldn't help feeling a little itchy. What on earth was being hidden from him that had to wait until tomorrow to tell him?
