Chapter 428 You Have Changed A Lot
"I took a picture of Sakura looking super cute today."

On the cherry blossom avenue, the four of them walked together again, a rare occasion. Tomoyo held the camera in her hand, covered her mouth and laughed.

Li Xiaolang, who was standing by, heard this and smiled helplessly: "Dadao Temple, you are still the same."

"Hehe~ Thanks to Li, I was able to take such a cute picture of Sakura. Thank you very much."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Syaoran and Xiaoying blushed at the same time, and even their steps became stiffer.

Although they have started dating, they are still easily shy, especially when faced with teasing from others.

After being shy for a few seconds, Sakura suppressed her shyness, turned her head to look at Li Xiaolang and asked, "By the way, which middle school do you go to?"

"From tomorrow on, I will also be a student of Youzhi Middle School." Li Xiaolang smiled slightly.

"really?"

"Well, I just don't know if we can be assigned to the same class."

"It's ok."

Hearing what Syaoran said, Sakura blushed slightly and replied, "Even if we are in different classes, as long as we are in the same school, we can meet anytime."

"Sakura..."

In the warm atmosphere, the two looked at each other subconsciously and affectionately, but in the next second, they both realized at the same time that there were other people around them.

Turning around, they saw that the two men had very similar smiles on their faces and were looking at them with a smile.

"!"

"Right, right! I have to go back quickly, hurry back!"

Sakura, who was instantly shy, quickly grabbed Tomoyo's hand and walked forward hand in hand. Tomoyo also smiled and did not resist, and followed Sakura forward.

Looking at the shy Sakura in front of him, Li Syaoran gradually retracted his smile, looked down at the teddy bear in his arms, and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong? Why are you frowning so tightly?"

But before he could hide his worried expression, Xia Yu, who had not followed him, suddenly came over and scared him so much that he took several steps back.

"No, it's nothing!"

Looking at Xia Yu who was approaching, Li Xiaolang waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that it was nothing, and just hugged the teddy bear in his hand tighter.

"You look like this..."

Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, hooked Li Xiaolang's neck with one hand, and looked at Li Xiaolang's evasive gaze with some suspicion.

"This smell is the smell of lies!"

Xia Yu actually had no idea that Li Syaoran seemed to be hiding something. He had only watched the animation of the Clear Card arc and had never read the comics.

The animation only talks about daily life, and does not talk about the main plot or conspiracy at all, including why Sakura's cards became transparent and what Syaoran is hiding.

At this moment, Li Xiaolang looked worried, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he seemed to be worried about something.

"What, what lies? It's really nothing."

Faced with Xia Yu's gaze that seemed to be able to see through his heart, Li Xiaolang quickly broke free from the other's arms and walked forward.

He always felt that if he continued to be stared at like this, Xia Yu would definitely notice something, but it would be best if as few people as possible were involved in this matter.

Seeing that Li Xiaolang didn't want to talk any more, Xia Yu smacked his lips, walked up to him and said, "If you don't want to talk, don't talk. I won't force you, but don't forget one thing."

"Friends are not for hiding things. If you need help, you can always come to me."

"Yes, I know."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolang's originally solemn brows relaxed and he felt a little touched in his heart, but he still showed no expression on the surface. He just nodded to show that he understood.

Seeing this, Xia Yu smiled and hooked his shoulder again, continuing: "There is another thing I want to tell you. If you encounter a problem, find the source of the problem, and then beat that source hard. Beat it continuously, and keep beating it until the problem is no longer a problem."

"This way, any problem can be easily solved."

Li Xiaolang: “…”

What kind of Khorne statement is this? Are you a Khorne believer from somewhere?
Li Xiaolang sighed helplessly, but smiled with some nostalgia: "You haven't changed at all, Xia Yu."

"You have changed a lot."

Xia Yu sighed, loosened his hand that was hooked around Li Xiaolang's shoulder, and walked aside with his hands in his pockets.

"The arrogant you back then is more interesting. Don't lose your own personality. You can be gentle, but if you are too rude, you will just be lost in the crowd."

"..."

Li Xiaolang was speechless. What kind of weird things was this guy saying? But tsundere? This guy had been saying this since they first met.

This person described him like this when they first met, and now that he is in junior high school, he still describes him like this.

What does tsundere mean?
Xia Yu didn't say anything, and he searched the Internet but couldn't find this concept. He could only guess based on his words that this might be related to his previous personality.

So in Xia Yu's opinion, was his previous personality a tsundere?

Although he didn't know what he meant, Li Xiaolang still smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your advice. I won't lose my personality."

"Tsk, your answer now has lost its former personality."

Xia Yu, who was walking, stopped, turned his head and looked at Li Xiaolang and said, "Come, now watch my performance, and I will tell you how you would have answered my words in the past."

After saying that, under Li Xiaolang's dull gaze, Xia Yu coughed lightly, forced his face to turn red, and looked a little exasperated.

"What nonsense are you talking about! What about being indistinguishable from the crowd... I won't do that! Humph——!" Xia Yu: (╯^╰)
Li Xiaolang: (°ー°〃)
Was he ever like this? Why did he look so childish?
Li Xiaolang always felt that someone was taking the opportunity to slander his past self. In his memory, he had never been like that. At most, he was just a little childish.

"I-I know."

Li Xiaolang looked away. At this moment, Xia Yu couldn't bear to look at him. He felt that if he looked at him too much, something would happen that he didn't want to admit.

"Don't look away. Come on, answer me based on what I just did."

Seeing Li Xiaolang retreating, Xia Yu stood directly in front of Li Xiaolang, held his shoulders with both hands, and forced him to look at him.

"First, let's learn the classic tsundere interjection, which is "humph!" Do you understand?"

"Um……"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiaolang felt that he couldn't ignore someone. If he continued to be harassed, he felt that he might not be able to get away today.

Taking a deep breath, he imitated Xia Yu's expression and tone just now.

"……snort!"

"What's that expression of yours? What's that look and that tone of your voice? Do you think you can pretend to be a tsundere just like this?"

"Ugh……"

Li Syaoran sighed deeply and couldn't help feeling a little tired. The excitement he had originally felt about settling down in Tomoeda Town and being with Sakura had now turned into melancholy.

Why can't this guy grow up? He's already in junior high school, so why is he still the same as he was in elementary school?
Obviously, Daidoji is such a gentle person, why does this person seem to have become even more... even...

Li Xiaolang didn't say it out loud. Apart from those dirty words that he couldn't say, he couldn't think of any other adjectives.

"You kid..."

Looking at Li Xiaolang, who seemed to have turned into a bitter face, Xia Yu approached him suspiciously and asked, "Were you secretly slandering me in your heart just now?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

Li Xiaolang quickly shook his head. He couldn't admit it. If he admitted it, he would definitely be entangled to the end.

"This taste is a lie..."

"Xiaolang, Xia, hurry up and catch up, we are going to go far away!"

Suddenly, Sakura's voice came from a distance. When he turned around, he saw that he and Li Syaoran were already far behind.

"Okay, come right away."

After returning the greeting, Xia Yu looked at Li Xiaolang, whose gaze was wandering, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll let you go this time, but next time..."

"Jiejiejie——!"

After saying that, Xia Yu turned around and followed him, letting Li Xiaolang go for the time being.

"..."

Li Xiaolang suppressed the urge to complain, as he always felt that if he opened his mouth to complain, he would lose something and would no longer be himself.

After catching up with Sakura, the four of them walked together for a while again, then separated into two at another fork in the road.

"Mr. Xia, what happened before? Why does Student Li look so miserable?"

After Syaoran and Sakura walked away, Tomoyo left from another road and asked Xia Yu beside her curiously.

When the four of them were walking the last section of the journey together, although Li Xiaolang still had that gentle smile on his face, one could vaguely sense the helplessness and melancholy in his heart.

It was as if he was being bullied, but Xia Yu and Li Xiaolang were alone for a while before, and when he thought about it...

"Did you bully classmate Li?" Zhishi looked at Xia Yu helplessly, feeling that he had guessed the truth.

"How can it be!?"

Xia Yu subconsciously raised his voice, staring into Zhishi's eyes without blinking, and said without hesitation: "I just haven't seen that kid for a long time, and I chatted a little about the past. Does this count as bullying?"

His words were sonorous and powerful, without any stammering or hesitating, and it was obvious that he was speaking honestly.

But Zhishi's eyes were even more helpless, and he sighed: "Xia Jun, do you know? Although many people think that talking directly into the eyes is a sign of sincerity, or that people who lie dare not look directly at the other person, it is actually the opposite."

"..."

"And you just raised your voice, right? Liars often raise their voices unconsciously to cover up their guilt."

"..."

Seeing that Xia Yu had nothing to say and remained silent, Zhishi raised the corner of his mouth, smiled and reached out to pat his shoulder.

"Xia Jun, remember this next time you lie. If you lie too obviously, I will see through you."

“…Tomoyo, are you a detective from Beika Town?”

Xia Yu had a gloomy face. It was just a few words, but Zhishi had completely guessed what had just happened. This was simply too outrageous.

It is indeed a synonym for strength.

"So, classmate Li really just did..."

Zhishi looked at Xia Yu curiously, and Xia Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I saw that boy lost his former personality, so I wanted to adjust him back. The blushing and shy Li Xiaolang is more interesting, isn't it?"

"Haha~ That's true."
