Chapter 435 You are also a tsundere

"So, aren't you afraid that Sakura will be angry if you do this?"

Looking at the card elves who came to Li Xiaolang's side, Xia Yu crossed his legs and sat down on the sofa again with his arms folded across his chest.

Faced with this question, Li Xiaolang lowered his head and frowned deeply, with all kinds of emotions intertwined in his heart, but in the end, he still replied in a hoarse voice.

"I know, but I want to protect Sakura..."

"Tsk, this kind of tenderness is really unbearable. Do you think you are performing a soap opera at 8 o'clock in the evening?" Xia Yu let out a light click of his tongue and stood up.

Looking at Xia Yu who came to his side, Li Xiaolang looked at him puzzledly, and then saw Xia Yu suddenly raised his fist, and then -

Boom-!
"hiss--!"

Li Xiaolang, who was hit hard on the head by a punch, immediately gasped and couldn't help but cover his aching head with his hand.

"Does it sound good? If it sounds good, it's a good start."

After hitting Li Xiaolang, Xia Yu shook his hands and then looked at the card elves.

The card elves who were being stared at subconsciously took a step back with horror on their faces. Then, as if Light and Dark had made up their minds, they took a step forward together, protecting the other elves behind them and looking over with determined eyes.

“They are all under our jurisdiction.”

"If you want to punish us, just punish us."

Xia Yu: "..."

"When did I say I was going to punish you? I'm not your master. Sakura should be the one to punish you."

Xia Yu looked at him speechlessly. How could he be like a bad guy? How many times had this happened? Did he look violent?
In response to Xia Yu's words, Light and Dark subconsciously looked at Li Xiaolang, and then looked back. Although they didn't say anything, the meaning was conveyed.

It seems to be saying, since it is not a punishment, why beat Li Xiaolang?

"Don't look at me like that. After all, Sakura would definitely not be willing to beat up this guy who acted on his own initiative. As a friend, I took action on Sakura's behalf."

After finishing speaking, Xia Yu sat back in his seat, looked at Li Xiaolang and said, "Even if you want to protect Xiaoying, do you think Xiaoying will be happy if you act on your own initiative like this?"

"As for what you said about hiding it from Sakura in order to prevent the magic from getting out of control, don't you think that if you secretly made the card spirits in Sakura's card disappear, it would also make her worried and concerned?"

"Also, I think you're a little too worried about the possibility that Sakura might lose control because of the surge in magic power. Do you think that after all Sakura has been through, she might increase the probability of losing control because she cares too much?"

At this point, Xia Yu asked himself and answered, "It's impossible, okay? And you underestimated Xiaoying a little bit. Although she is indeed reckless and a little slow, she will be able to see it sooner or later when she gets more new cards."

"After Sakura guesses it, won't you tell her the truth? Rather than hiding everything and waiting for Sakura to guess it herself, I advise you that it's better to confess as soon as possible."

"Confess and be treated leniently; resist and be treated severely, young man."

After hearing these words, Li Xiaolang clenched his fists, feeling conflicted, but in the end, he raised his head and made up his mind.

"I understand. I won't take it upon myself to hide this from Sakura for her own good."

"Yes, children can be taught."

Xia Yu nodded, feeling a little happy. Is this what it feels like to talk nonsense? No wonder the protagonists of some works like to talk about great truths. He seems to understand those protagonists a little.

After Li Xiaolang finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yu again and said, "Can I ask you a favor, Xia Yu?"

"What's going on?"

Seeing Li Xiaolang looking at him seriously, Xia Yu also sat up straight and became serious.

"It's about Sakura."

Li Xiaolang took a deep breath and said slowly: "When I came here, my mother had already predicted the sudden increase in Sakura's magic power. She said that in the near future, other magicians might target Sakura, who has great power."

"If the other party wants to do something bad to Sakura, can you help Sakura? I know you are stronger than all of us. Now Hiiragi is far away in England, and Sakura may not be able to control her own strength, and I..."

"stop!"

Before Li Xiaolang could finish, Xia Yu suddenly interrupted him and said bluntly: "Go and protect the person you like yourself. Xiaoying is your girlfriend, what do you mean by asking me for help?"

"I……"

Hearing this, Li Xiaolang smiled bitterly and said, "That's true... I'm sorry."

"But it's not impossible for me to consider helping Sakura."

"Eh?"

Facing Li Xiaolang's surprised gaze, Xia Yu said to himself: "Of course, this has nothing to do with you. First of all, Xiaoying is my friend, and I will naturally not watch her suffer the calculations of others."

"Secondly, Sakura is also an important friend of Tomoyo. If Sakura is hurt, Tomoyo will definitely be very sad. In order to prevent Tomoyo from being sad, I will definitely not stay out of it."

"I will help Sakura, but this has nothing to do with your request, understand?"

Li Xiaolang stared blankly at Xia Yu who was chattering non-stop. He couldn't help but chuckle and said subconsciously: "You are also a tsundere."

"What?"

Xia Yu paused subconsciously at the sudden words. He couldn't help but frown and looked over, dissatisfied: "Who are you calling a tsundere? I just..."

Xia Yu, who was about to refute, paused and realized belatedly that what he had just said was indeed a bit arrogant...

Xia Yu: "..."

Damn it! Li Xiaolang noticed that Xia Yu suddenly stopped talking, so he looked back and saw Xia Yu looking at him with a gloomy look and clenched fists.

"…Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm thinking about giving you a physical version of the amnesia spell."

Facing Xia Yu's threat, Li Xiaolang said sincerely: "Sorry, I didn't see anything just now, and I didn't hear anything either."

"Well...what about you guys?"

Seeing that Li Xiaolang was so aware of the current situation, Xia Yu looked at the card elves on the side.

After being looked at like this, the elves looked around, as if they didn't notice this side at all.

Seeing that the elves were so sensible, Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction. His charm was still as great as ever. Just one or two words could make everyone follow his ideas.

All that needed to be said had been said, and all that needed to be understood had been understood. Xia Yu then stood up, put away the Gale Card he had taken out, and planned to leave.

"Okay, think about when to confess to Sakura. If you feel embarrassed to be alone, I can be kind and come with Tomoyo to sit in on the trial."

"gone."

Seeing Xia Yu was about to leave, Li Xiaolang immediately stood up and said, "I understand. And, thank you."

In response to Li Xiaolang's thanks, Xia Yu simply waved his hand, left without saying anything more.

……

The days passed peacefully, and although Li Xiaolang had made up his mind, he seemed to still be hesitating about when to confess.

Seeing this, Xia Yu did not urge him. After all, this was Li Xiaolang's own business, and it was up to him to make the final decision.

Day off, at Sakura's house.

"Okay, since you've asked for my advice sincerely, let's get started!"

In the kitchen, Xia Yu held a ruler in his hand and looked at Chiyo, Sakura and Xiaoke who were wearing aprons in front of him.

Today is a day off and there is no school, so at Sakura's request, he came to teach Sakura and Tomoyo how to make frozen cheesecake.

After all, almost everyone who knows him knows his craft, and he knows a thing or two about any dessert.

"Um, why are you holding a wooden stick, Xia?"

Although she was happy to receive Xia Yu's teachings, Sakura felt a little scared for some reason when she saw the ruler in Xia Yu's hand.

"This is called a ruler. It's the wooden board that private school teachers used to use to punish students. If you do something wrong, this is used to punish you."

As he spoke, Xia Yu gently tapped the palm of his hand with a ruler, indicating to the people in front of him how to use the ruler.

Looking at Xia Yu who was threatening her and the others, Xiaoying looked at Zhishi beside her with some fear and said weakly: "Zhishi, will Xia Yu really punish us if we do something wrong?"

Seeing Sakura's frightened look, Tomoyo said with a smile: "Don't worry, Sakura, as long as we do every step right, you don't have to be afraid."

"..."

No, she asked because she was worried about making mistakes.

Sakura cried in her heart. After all, she knew that she would be careless and confused occasionally.

No, in order to avoid being slapped on the palm of her hand, she had to be serious.

"We are ready!"

Suppressing her fear of punishment, Xiaoying looked determined. She was the one who asked Xia Yu to teach her, so she had to take it seriously and must not be careless and make mistakes.

"Okay, let's begin."

Just do it. Although frozen cheesecake looks difficult to make, it is actually not easy to make.

Its main ingredients are gelatin sheets, hot milk, egg yolks, cream cheese and other ingredients. As the name suggests, this cake does not require an oven and is classified as a no-bake cake.

The preliminary preparation is the same as that of ordinary cakes, whipping cream, adding cheese and honey, and you can also add some lemon juice for flavoring.

In the middle stage, you need to dissolve the softened gel sheets in hot milk, then add the previous mixture, filter it, and put it into a mold to cool and set.

After cooling, add a layer of jam or jelly at the end, and a no-bake cake with a delicious taste after being refrigerated is ready.

After a few hours, the frozen cheesecake is ready.

Looking at the cut cake in front of him, Xia Yu picked up a piece with a fork, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

Looking at Xia Yu tasting the cake silently, Sakura, Tomoyo, and even Xiaoke were a little nervous, fearing that their cake was not perfect.

After swallowing the cake in his mouth, Xia Yu pondered for a few seconds, then looked up and smiled, "Well done, it's acceptable."

"Great!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sakura cheered, Tomoyo felt relieved, and Kero couldn't wait to fly over and shouted.

"That's great, I want to try it too!"
