Chapter 393 Preparation for the Temple Fair
At the same time, over at Sakura's side.

On the way home, Sakura, who was pulled away by Tomoyo, couldn't help but feel relieved. She smiled at Tomoyo and said, "You helped me a lot, Tomoyo, thank you."

"You're welcome. Is there enough time?" In response to Sakura's thanks, Tomoyo smiled and asked.

"It should be possible if we work all night tonight."

"Do you need my help?"

"Thank you, but I want to try it myself." Sakura told Tomoyo her idea with a smile as they walked.

"Although Xiaolang said that he likes someone else now, he used to like Xuetu-ge, so I told him."

"I told him about Snow Rabbit and cried a lot. My sorrow flowed away with my tears. Thanks to the little wolf's willingness to listen to my complaints, I was able to cheer up."

"So, in order to say thank you to him properly, I will try my best."

After hearing what Xiaoying said, Zhiye replied with soft eyes: "He will understand your feelings."

"By the way, thank you very much, Tomoyo."

"Eh?"

"You always think about me and help me a lot. Thank you so much. If you have any troubles or sadness, please tell me. I will do everything I can."

Seeing that Sakura suddenly spoke to him seriously, Tomoyo couldn't help but hold Sakura's hands and replied with a smile.

"I don't have anything sad now. I'm actually very happy because I know what happiness feels like. So I also want Sakura to be happy."

……

Time always flies by.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of February.

Winter is about to end, but the weather is still cold. I am afraid that even when spring comes, the weather will still be so cold that people won’t want to go out.

Unfortunately, no matter how much they don't want to go out, there are still many people who have to go out to work and run around for a living.

Fortunately, I can go to the temple fair tonight to relax from my daily work and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

Even in a monotonous life, there are always some unexpected little surprises.

Summer house.

Xia Yu's room.

"Clang clang! How is it? This is the dress I made for you. It looks great, doesn't it?"

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhishi was invited to Xia Yu's house, but as soon as she entered the door, she was pulled by Xia Yu to his room.

After entering the door, Xia Yu quickly showed off the clothes he had worked hard to sew for a week.

This is a dress with light purple as the main color. It looks light and airy. The cross collar design and light embroidery can make people feel the Han elements on it. It is complex but not complicated. Instead, it makes people feel fresh and elegant.

Because of the embellishment of Han elements, the dress also seems to reveal a sense of ancient and elegant beauty. Just by taking a glance, you can seem to feel the intention of the person who made this dress.

Looking at the clothes Xia Yu took out, Zhishi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say, "What beautiful clothes."

"If it's beautiful, then put it on and try it out. When I was making this dress, I was always imagining what you would look like in it."

Xia Yu chuckled, handed the light Han-style skirt in his hand to Zhishi, then opened the door and walked out.

It was not until the sound of the door closing was heard that Tomoyo came back to her senses. Feeling the almost weightless clothes in her hands, she couldn't help but blushing with shyness.

She felt very shy when she thought that such beautiful clothes were sewn by Xia Yu for her, and she would have to wear them to show him later, which made her even more shy.

But if you don't wear it, you will be letting the other person down.

What's more, she was looking forward to it. She was looking forward to seeing how Xia Yu would react when he saw her wearing this dress. After all, this dress was so beautiful and he made it himself.

With a feeling of shyness and anticipation, Tomoyo put on the clothes slowly and nervously.

Although it was her first time wearing this kind of uniform, as someone who had been sewing clothes by hand for many years, knowing how to wear it was not a problem for her.

In a short while, the light clothes in her hands were already put on her body. As expected, she could hardly feel the weight after putting them on.

After turning around twice in front of the floor-length mirror in the room, Chishio twisted her fingers nervously and said softly, "I, I'm done."

"Then I'm in!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Yu responded from outside the door, then pushed the door open and walked in impatiently.

When Xia Yu saw Zhishi blushing, twisting her fingers shyly, and standing gracefully in front of the floor-length mirror, he was stunned for a moment.

What a beautiful lady, wearing green dress and gauze as gorgeous as a flower, with willow-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes.

The already light and elegant skirt makes Chise look even more gentle and dignified, making her look cute and ladylike, and adding a bit of agility.

"Okay, does it look good?"

Facing Xia Yu's unblinking gaze, Zhishi shyly lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and turned around in front of Xia Yu.

"nice!"

Xia Yu came back to his senses upon hearing the voice, feeling delighted, and praised sincerely: "She is as graceful as a startled swan, as gentle as a swimming dragon, as glorious as an autumn chrysanthemum, and as flourishing as a spring pine."

“I can probably sense how the “I” in the poem “Ode to the Goddess of Luo River” felt when he first met the Goddess of Luo River.”

"Ode to the Goddess of Luo River?"

Zhi Shi was startled when he heard this and asked curiously, "Is this an ancient Chinese poem? Who is the author? This is the first time I've heard of this name."

"It's not an ancient poem, it's an essay."

Xia Yu shook his head and explained, "As for the author, it is Cao Zhi, a writer from the Three Kingdoms period. Although this poem has a high literary status, it is difficult to write and contains many uncommon characters, so it may not be included in the book you are reading."

After he finished explaining, he continued, "Then I'll change to another one. The clouds are like clothes and the flowers are like faces. The spring breeze blows through the threshold and the dew is gorgeous. If we hadn't met on the top of the Jade Mountain, we would have met under the moon on the Jade Terrace."

“I know this poem.”

After listening to the poem Xia Yu read out, Zhi Shi quickly replied: "This poem is one of the three poems of Li Bai's Qingping Diao, which is used to describe the beauty of Yang Guifei."

Seeing Zhishi like a student answering the teacher's question, Xia Yu held back his smile and nodded, "Yes, in my eyes, Zhishi is just that pretty."

"Well……"

After hearing this, Zhishi finally realized that Xia Yu had just praised her with poetry. When she thought that she was like a fairy in Xia Yu's eyes, her face blushed again.

Xia Jun is really something. He always likes to praise her openly or secretly. If she didn't happen to know this ancient poem, she probably wouldn't understand what Xia Jun meant by praising her.

Although she didn't seem to understand the previous poem "The Goddess of Luo River", no, after today is over, she will find this poem after returning home and read it word by word.

In addition, she needs to speed up her Chinese learning, otherwise when Xia Jun praises her in various ways in the future, she may not be able to react.

After secretly making up his mind, Zhishi looked at Xia Yu and asked, "By the way, Xia Jun, where are your clothes?"

Now Xia Yu is still wearing casual clothes, and she is looking forward to what kind of clothes Xia Yu will change into. It should be clothes that match her very well.

"My clothes are not urgent. Come, sit here and I will braid your hair again."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu waved his hand and patted the sofa beside him, asking Zhishi to sit over.

How can you wear a dress with Han elements without a suitable hairstyle?
It just so happened that Chiyo's hair was long and thick, which was just perfect for him to braid into a hairstyle that matched his clothes. If it was short hair like Sakura's, he would have no choice but to use some hair accessories to decorate it.

Seeing Xia Yu's eager look, Zhishi blushed but didn't refuse. She folded her hands on her abdomen and slowly walked to the sofa and sat down. Xia Yu also reached out to lift Zhishi's hair, took out the hair accessories that had been prepared long ago, and began to braid.

……

At the same time, Li Syaoran also arrived at Xiaoying's house as promised.

Ding dong——!
The next second after the doorbell rang, the door was opened. Sakura, wearing a cherry blossom yukata, opened the door and said happily.

"Welcome! It's exactly six o'clock!"

Looking at Sakura wearing a yukata, Li Syaoran's heart beat faster and his face turned red involuntarily.

But he knew that now was not the time to be in a daze, and he almost stared at it, so he quickly slapped his face to wake himself up, then changed into the slippers at the door and walked into Sakura's house.

Sakura also took Li Syaoran to the room, but not to her room, but to her father's room.

At the door of Fujitaka's room, Sakura invited, "Please come in, this is my father's room."

Just as Xiaoying finished speaking, Kinomoto Fujitaka also came out, bowed slightly to Li Syaoran and said: "Good evening, I am Kinomoto Fujitaka."

Seeing this, Li Xiaolang hurriedly bowed nervously and said, "Good evening, I am Li Xiaolang."

Seeing that Li Syaoran already knew her father, Xiaoying smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Dad."

After saying that, she left, leaving Li Xiaolang alone with a head full of questions.

But before Li Xiaolang could ask, Fujitaka had already taken out a piece of clothing and said to Li Xiaolang with a smile: "Well, let's change clothes."

"clothing?"

"Yes, that's the dress."

Fujitaka unfolded the striped yukata in his hand and introduced it to Li Syaoran: "This yukata was made by Sakura herself. She said she wanted to give it to someone, so she asked me to teach her how to sew a yukata in four days."

"Sakura is not good at sewing. She spent a lot of effort to make this by herself."

Hearing this, Li Syaoran was suddenly moved, and recalled in his mind why the wounds on Sakura's hands were increasing every day.

It turns out that those wounds were caused by sewing this bathrobe for him.

"Okay, come and try it on. If you don't know how to put it on, I can help you." Fujitaka smiled again.

Hearing this, Li Xiaolang immediately came back to his senses and nodded nervously, "Okay, okay!"

For some reason, even though Fujitaka's smile was very kind and gentle, he always seemed a little nervous and reserved.

And when he thought that this yukata was made for him by Sakura herself, his heart beat faster.

Meanwhile, in Sakura's room.

"It's great - it's great - I can go to the temple fair -"

Seeing Sakura happily walking into the room, Xiaoke rolled around on the bed and complained in a long voice.

It also wants to go to the temple fair and eat delicious food.

Seeing Xiao Ke's state, Xiao Ying comforted her: "Although I can't take you with me, I will bring you some snacks."

"Then I want takoyaki, assorted pancakes, and soy sauce senbei."

"it is good."

"Sakura- we're ready."

Just as Sakura had just agreed to Xiaoke, Fujitaka's voice was heard downstairs. Hearing the voice, Sakura quickly responded.

"coming!"

After saying that, she opened the door and hurried out, saying goodbye to Xiao Ke: "Then I'm going out."

"Well, be careful on the road!"

Seeing Sakura full of energy and smiling, Xiao Ke also relaxed and lay down, muttering, "It's great that Sakura can cheer up."

downstairs.

"Wow--"

Looking at Li Syaoran, who had already changed into a yukata, with a blushing face and standing there a little stiffly, Sakura exclaimed happily.

"Great! It fits me perfectly."

After saying that, she quickly put on her shoes and said to Li Xiaolang, "Let's go then."

"Good, good."

After saying goodbye to Fujitaka, Sakura and Syaoran set out side by side, heading towards the Tsukimine Shrine where the temple fair was being held.

After walking for a while, Li Xiaolang felt that his tension had finally eased a little, and he whispered: "Um, thank you..."

"No, I should be the one thanking you."

Sakura chuckled and shook her head, reached into the cloth pocket of her yukata and took out a handkerchief, handed it to Li Syaoran, and thanked him sincerely.

"Thank you very much at that time."

Li Syaoran looked at Xiaoying's smiling face, reached out to take his handkerchief, and his heartbeat accelerated again.

After returning the handkerchief to Li Syaoran, Sakura said again: "Then let's go to Yuefeng Shrine to meet up with Xia and Chiyo. I also invited my brother and Yukito."

Hearing this, Li Syaoran was stunned for a moment and looked at Sakura with some concern. As if Sakura noticed Li Syaoran's worry, she smiled.

"I'm fine now."

"Now I love Brother Xuetu as much as I love my family."

After hearing this answer, Li Xiaolang smiled again and put aside his worries.

At the same time, on another road leading to the shrine.

Touya and Yukito were walking side by side. When Touya yawned suddenly, Yukito asked subconsciously, "Touya, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, it's just a yawn."

Hearing this, Yukito's eyes softened and he said, "But I'm glad that Sakura invited me to the temple fair."

Since Touya was the only one around him, Yukito subconsciously told him his inner thoughts.

"I know that Sakura's feelings for me aren't exactly the same as her feelings for dad."

"But if I don't say that, Sakura won't be able to sort out her feelings. I can't let her feelings for me delay her from finding someone she really likes..." As he spoke, Yukito began to blame himself a little.

"I know Sakura will be sad, but I think it's the best thing for her. Even though Sakura smiled at me, she...will definitely not be happy to see me."

Seeing Yukito's slightly lonely expression, Touya smiled slightly, reached out and patted Yukito's head, and replied: "She accepted your answer in her own way of thinking."

"Besides, she's in a very high spirit right now. She's making so much noise, so she invited you today. So you don't have to worry anymore."

Knowing that Sakura had let it go, Yukito felt much better. He smiled and nodded heavily, saying, "Yes!"
