Chapter 87 Touya and Cinderella
Seeing this horrific scene, Sakura was also frightened.

How long has Student Li been here?
On the other side, Li Syaoran waited until the snow rabbit left Sakura before he took action. He tensed his legs and did a front flip and landed in front of Sakura.

Then he just stared at Sakura, their faces were almost touching, if anyone accidentally touched them, they might kiss in the next moment.

But unfortunately, the scene that only appears in anime did not appear. What appeared was only a crisp shutter sound.

Click~
The moment they heard the voice, Syaoran and Sakura turned their heads at the same time and looked stiffly to their sides.

I saw Xia Yu holding a camera and just pressed the shutter button.

Noticing that Xiaoying and Xiaolang were looking at him at the same time, Xia Yu waved his free hand and said, "Don't worry about me, just continue."

Sakura, Syaoran: "..."

How can this continue?

“Delete the photo.”

After realizing what Xia Yu had just photographed, Xiaolang's face turned red and he couldn't help but reach out to grab the camera from Xia Yu's hand.

But how could Xia Yu let him succeed? He dodged Xiaolang's fight. This photo was very precious. When Xiaolang and Xiaoying fell in love with each other, they would have a dark history.

Speaking of this, he actually filmed a lot of the dark history of these two people. When Sakura and Syaoran grew up, he played them one by one for them to see.

Maybe he could wait until Sakura and Syaoran's wedding, and then play it directly on the big screen at the wedding. Just thinking about it, Xia Yu could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

If the timing hadn't been wrong, he would have wanted to twirl his temple with his index finger while reciting some famous lines from an inhuman person.

"Eh? What are you doing?"

Just as the little wolf was still fighting for the camera in Xia Yu's hand, the snow rabbit suddenly came over with a bottle of soda in his hand.

"No...nothing."

Li Xiaolang's face turned red and he quickly stopped his childish behavior. He didn't want Xuetu to change his opinion of him because of his behavior.

The reason why he didn't come when Sakura invited him here before was because Yukito gave him an admission ticket after seeing him.

He originally wanted to tell Sakura, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that there was no need to say it, so he didn't say it directly at that time.

“By the way, someone has come to take over my shift. I’ll take you for a walk.” After handing the soda in his hand to Li Xiaolang, Xuetu said with a smile.

Although he is in charge here, it is a duty system. Now that someone has taken over his shift, he can take a rest.

It's a good opportunity to take these kids for a walk, their high school anniversary is really exciting.

When they heard that Yukito was going to take them for a walk, Syaoran and Sakura nodded hurriedly. When they noticed that the other party had nodded as well, they couldn't help but glare at each other. Their behavior was very synchronized.

"Haha, let's go then."

Seeing that Sakura and Syaoran were glaring at each other again, Yukito simply reached out and took their hands, holding one in each hand, and walked outside.

Suddenly, Yukito pulled their hands. Syaoran and Sakura both froze and blushed, but they still followed him out.

Seeing this, Zhishi in the back looked at Xia Yu and smiled, then followed.

Stars and Stripes High School, playground.

The place is bustling with people coming and going.

There were stalls set up and students playing everywhere, it was quite lively.

Snow Rabbit is currently strolling around here with her four children. As there are so many stalls, they move very slowly.

"Wow, so cute!"

After walking around for a while, Sakura suddenly saw a stall filled with rabbit dolls of different colors. She couldn't help but pick up a pink rabbit and rub it against her cheek.

Seeing this, the little wolf at the side snorted and said, "Do you like children's things so much?"

"Because she's really cute." Sakura couldn't help but retort, and the ahoge on her head trembled in dissatisfaction.

"But we are just children. Is there anything wrong with liking children's things?" Xia Yu also reached out and picked up a yellow rabbit doll, pinching the rabbit's ears while speaking.

This yellow doll looks a bit like a lazy and gluttonous sealed beast, except that its ears are a bit longer.

Hearing what Xia Yu said, Xiaolang opened his mouth to refute, but suddenly found that what Xia Yu said seemed to be right, and they seemed to be still children at their age.

"Humph!"

Not knowing how to refute, the little wolf could only snort coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

"Look, this bunny playing idol doesn't look like Xiao Ke?"

Xia Yu showed the yellow rabbit doll in his hand. The difference between this doll and Xiaoke is the ears. Xiaoke has round ears, while the rabbit doll has long ears.

Other than that, the doll looks exactly like Xiaoke, and even has a pair of small white wings on its back.

"Xiao Ke?"

Snow Rabbit, who was looking at them with a smile, was a little confused. When Sakura heard Snow Rabbit's question, she was about to laugh it off, but Xia Yu had already started to explain.

"Kero-chan is one of Sakura's dolls. She looks very similar to this doll. It's Sakura's favorite doll."

"I see."

Xuetu had no doubt about Xia Yu's explanation at all, as if he believed whatever others said.

Just then, the owner of the stall came over. He was a high school student in a sports jersey. At first glance, he was about 1.8 to 1.9 meters tall, a head taller than Snow Rabbit.

"As long as you break through our five regular players and throw the ball into the basket, you can pick a doll to take away."

As he spoke, he pointed to the venue.

There were five tall guys standing on the basketball court, the tallest of them was almost as tall as the basketball net.

Xia Yu: (゜一゜)
Damn, what did these guys eat to grow up? Why are they all so tall?

Xia Yu took another look at the tall man in front of him and found that he could only see his face if he raised his head. If he looked straight, he could only see his belly.

Well, I didn’t expect that he really has legs over one meter long.

“It only costs 100 yen to participate once.”

The tall man lowered his head and looked at the children and said, but just as he finished speaking, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side, with a 100-yuan coin in it.

"Give."

Seeing the hand next to him, the tall man turned his head and saw that it was Tsukishiro Snow Rabbit. His voice was filled with surprise: "Huh? Tsukishiro, do you want to play?"

"Ok!"

Tsukishiro Yukito squinted his eyes and smiled and nodded. Although he looked kind and gentle, one could also feel his firmness.

Just looking at Tsukishiro Snow Rabbit in this state, the tall man was a little hesitant.

He still knew that although Tsukishiro Yukito looked like an artistic young man, in fact, his basketball skills were very good and he could easily kill all of them by himself.

It's just that he couldn't do such a lowly thing as refusing.

Feeling that he was going to lose this round, the tall guy had no choice but to snatch the coin from Yuecheng Xuetu's hand, silently expressing his dissatisfaction with this behavior.

After taking the coin, he blew the whistle around his neck.

After receiving instructions from the captain, a player holding a basketball in front of the net threw the basketball in his hand into the hands of the snow rabbit.

"wait for me."

After catching the basketball, Yukito lowered his head and smiled at Sakura. His eyes, which had been squinting all the time when he was smiling, now opened slightly, revealing a hint of seriousness in them.

"Yeah! Come on, Snow Rabbit!"

Sakura nodded her little head, looking at the figure of the snow rabbit with longing and expectation, and the little wolf next to her saw this and snorted in dissatisfaction.

When the snow rabbit was ready, the tall man did not hesitate, raised his whistle and blew the starting whistle.

No sooner said than done, Snow Rabbit strode forward with the basketball in his hand. Even though he was not as tall as the basketball players, his momentum was no less than theirs.

Seeing the snow rabbit rushing over, the five players in front of the nets hurriedly found their positions and prepared to intercept the snow rabbit in the path in front of the nets.

If the visitors are children, they will just pretend to be nice and then let the children go depending on the situation.

But now they are facing Tsukishiro Snow Rabbit, who cannot be let off at all.

At Seijo High School, Touya and Yukito can be said to be a pair of celebrities, and their fame is well known in the school basketball team.

When the two of them cooperated, almost no one could stop them. They were also very handsome and famous in the school.

But the only strange thing is that although the two are so famous, neither of them has a girlfriend, and they stay together all the time, as if only each other is enough for them.

Of course, they don’t know the specific situation, and everything is just speculation. Maybe they just want to focus on their studies and don’t want to talk about love.

As the snow rabbit dodged left and right, the intercepting players were unable to pose any obstacle and were easily broken through by the snow rabbit.

Seeing that the snow rabbit was about to approach the basketball net, the tallest player stood in front of the basketball net. That player was the one who was as tall as the basketball net just by standing.

Seeing this, the snow rabbit simply stopped its advance, jumped slightly with its legs, and leaped high into the air.

Then he gently threw the basketball in his right hand towards the net. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and easily fell into the net.

The basketball that entered the net bounced twice. Snow Rabbit, who had jumped high, landed easily at this time, then turned and walked towards Sakura and the others.

This scene fully illustrates what it means that a real man never looks behind.

"Sure enough, those with squinty eyes are all monsters."

Xia Yu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the snow rabbit whose movements and shooting angles were extremely perfect.

If there is a character with squinty eyes in an anime, he must be a hidden master. Especially when they open their eyes, it will be terrifying.

Just like Shoichi Imayoshi in "Kuroko's Basketball" or Shusuke Fuji in "The Prince of Tennis", they all have squinting eyes with a smile on their faces.

“Are those with squinting eyes monsters?”

Chiyo, who was standing by, heard Xia Yu mumbling to himself, and recalled Yukito's heroic appearance just now, and chuckled and said, "That's true, but Xia-san, are you saying that Yamazaki-san is also scary?"

Yamazaki-san?

Xia Yu paused and said, "Oh, yes, Yamazaki Takashi also has squinty eyes."

"Yes, Yamazaki-san is also very scary. After all, what he is best at is talking nonsense in a serious manner. He is simply a big liar."

After saying that, Xia Yu looked at Xiaoying and Xiaolang who were staring at Xuetu, and shook his head and said, "But what's more terrifying is that there are still people who believe what that big liar said. It's simply terrifying."

Chiyo followed Xia Yu's line of sight and glanced at Xiaoying and Xiaolang, then smiled: "Indeed, but this kind of innocence is also very cute, isn't it?"

"That's right, she's really innocent and cute." Just as Xia Yu and Chise were whispering, the captain blew the whistle and announced Yukito's victory.

Seeing Yukito's victory, Sakura and Syaoran, who had been staring at Yukito, clapped their hands happily at the same time.

However, when they both realized that the other was also clapping, they looked at each other in confusion, then turned their heads at the same time and snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Really? How can our players win against Yuecheng?" The tall captain sighed. The situation before him was within expectations. He just regarded it as sending a doll away.

"That's not the case."

The victorious Snow Rabbit walked over, took the doll thrown by the tall man, and handed it to Sakura.

"Give."

Looking at the cute doll in front of her, Sakura became visibly happy. In contrast, Syaoran's eyes were wide open with envy, and his gaze was fixed on the doll.

"Thank you, Brother Yukito." Sakura smiled happily at Yukito.

Only then did the little wolf turn his head away with a blush, pretending to be indifferent.

He doesn't need a child's doll like this.

Although his eyes were always on Sakura, Yukito still noticed Syaoran who seemed a little awkward. He smiled gently and gestured to the tall captain with his right hand, in which he was holding three coins.

Seeing this, the tall captain said with a somewhat aggrieved tone: "You still want to play?"

"I want three more dolls." Xuetu said gently. Although she was gentle, her tone was firm and could not be refused.

"Oh, I know."

Although he knew that his side was bound to lose, the tall captain just sighed and did not refuse.

Anyway, these dolls are going to be given away. Tsukishiro Snow Rabbit has four children in total, so it is normal to want four dolls.

After receiving the three coins from Snow Rabbit, a few minutes later, Snow Rabbit and his group left the stall, and the four children each held a rabbit doll.

But just as they took a few steps, the tall captain at the doll stand suddenly shouted, "Yuecheng, join our team."

In response to the captain's invitation, Xuetu simply waved his hand and said, "Let me think about it."

In response to this tactful refusal, the captain could only sigh regretfully.

This was not the first time he had invited Tsukishiro Yukito, but neither Kinomoto Touya nor Tsukishiro Yukito had chosen to join the club. However, if they were asked for help, they would not refuse.

After walking around with a few children for a while, Tsukishiro Snow Rabbit suddenly said, "It's almost time."

"What time?" Sakura asked casually.

"The time when the play starts."

Xuetu lowered her head and replied, "It's our class's play, performed in the gymnasium."

Hearing this, Xiaoying was a little excited: "Will my brother also participate?"

"Ok!"

"What role does he play?"

Hearing this question, Yukito thought about the role Touya needed to play and couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't answer it right away, but kept it a secret and said with a smile: "You'll know when the time comes."

"what?"

Sakura was a little confused about the answer, but when she looked up, she could only see Yukito's mouth, which was trying hard to hold back a smile.

Seeing the snow rabbit like this, the little wolf beside him couldn't help but blush again: "Excuse me?"

"Ok?"

Seeing that the little wolf seemed to have something to say, the snow rabbit gently lowered his head and looked at him.

Being stared at like this, Xiaolang's face turned even redder: "Will you participate too?"

"I know how."

"What role will Yukito-kun play?" Sakura asked happily.

"I play the can of mackerel."

"what?"

(д)×4
The four kids were a little surprised when this was said. What is a can of mackerel? Can a can become a character?
Could it be a drama performance like “Super Change”?

"Look...it looks like a delicious character." Sakura thought about it, but couldn't figure out what the role of this character was, so she could only smile awkwardly.

"You're right. Canned mackerel is delicious. And it's not just canned mackerel. There are also canned fish such as tuna, squid, sardines, bonito, and mackerel. They are also delicious if you use olive oil or marinade to lock in the freshness."

When it comes to food, Snow Rabbit becomes happy and starts talking nonstop.

As he led the four children toward the gymnasium, he explained to them how delicious canned fish is.

But as they were talking, Xia Yu suddenly interrupted and said, "Actually, not all canned fish are delicious."

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Xuetu stopped talking and looked down at Xia Yu curiously, wanting to hear what Xia Yu had to say.

"There is a canned fish called canned herring, which is said to be the world's stinkiest food, with a stench two hundred times that of natto."

"Oh huh?"

After hearing this popular science, Sakura widened her eyes in surprise. She knew that natto, although it originated in China, was also a traditional food in their country after all.

But when she heard that there was a food in the world that was two hundred times stinkier than natto, she really couldn't imagine what it smelled like.

Is that really something that people can eat? She doesn't even like to eat natto because it smells really bad.

"Canned herring is two hundred times more smelly than natto?"

After hearing Xia Yu's words, Xuetu murmured, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he was looking forward to it: "I really want to know what canned herring tastes like."

Xia Yu: ╮(︶﹏︶)╭

Is this a foodie?

It turns out that we can’t use ordinary people’s thinking to infer the thinking of foodies.

After walking and chatting for a few minutes, they arrived at the gymnasium. After Xuetu arranged seats in the front row for them, he went backstage alone.

He was also one of the performers, so naturally he needed to change his clothes.

Soon, a large crowd gathered in the gymnasium. Most of them were students from Star Strip High School, but there were also a few parents and elementary school students.

These people were chatting with each other at the moment. Since most people gathered in the gymnasium, the campus seemed a little empty.

And outside the unknown gymnasium, a large cloud of green mist suddenly rose up in a trance.

The mist gathered with the wind and gradually spread towards the gymnasium.

A few minutes later, the show began.

The seats in the audience were packed, with almost no empty seats. Even behind the seats, there were still many people standing.

"Thump~thump~thump~thump~thump~"

On the empty big stage, a young girl was playing the piano. The movement of the keys brought melodious music, and the floating notes echoed all around.

When the last note was played, the girl stopped playing and the audience burst into applause.

The performers bowed and the host came on stage, holding up the microphone and announcing, "Next is the play performed by Class 2, D - Cinderella."

"Class D?"

After hearing the host announce the next performance class, Tomoyo tilted her head slightly and asked Sakura, "Is that the class that Sakura-nii is in?"

Sakura nodded, and Li Xiaolang beside her also asked: "What is the connection between Cinderella and canned mackerel?"

"Isn't this easy to figure out?"

"Eh?"

As soon as Xia Yu said this, his three friends looked at him in confusion, wanting to hear Xia Yu's opinion.

"Obviously, it has nothing to do with anything."

"..."

The three people who heard this answer twitched their lips slightly, not knowing how to react. This answer sounded like nonsense, and it was indeed nonsense if you think about it carefully.

"But didn't Yukito-san say he was going to play the role of canned mackerel? And the show is about Cinderella, so the two must be related, right?" Sakura couldn't help but retort.

"That makes sense."

Xia Yu nodded and looked up at the stage: "Then why don't we just watch it, the play has already started."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights on the stage suddenly dimmed, and then the curtain slowly rose.

After the curtain was completely raised, a searchlight shone down, illuminating the center of the stage.

And right in the center there was a ragged performer. Although his face could not be seen clearly, his sturdy body revealed that the performer was a man.

"Hee hee hee……"

The performer was wearing a tattered maid outfit and a dirty red scarf on her head. She was half-kneeling on the ground, and she was making strange noises that seemed to be either crying or laughing.

"Once upon a time, somewhere, there was a girl named Cinderella. She was a very strong and beautiful girl."

"Hee hee hee……"

As the narration sounded, the performer's eerie sobbing also resounded throughout the stadium through the microphone.

Hearing this familiar voice, Sakura looked at the performer in confusion: "What is this voice?"

"Hee hee hee……"

The performer who played Cinderella was still sobbing with a strange whimpering sound, and the narration continued.

“Although Cinderella is bullied by her stepmother and sisters every day, she still works hard at doing housework.”

When the introduction reached this point, Cinderella, who had been kneeling on the stage with her back to the crowd, slowly stood up by supporting herself on the floor, then turned around and looked at the audience with an expressionless face.

She was so charming just by looking back that even a flashing effect suddenly appeared in the air.

Sakura: (*☉_☉)
There was even greater doubt in her big eyes. What did she see?
The Cinderella who made the weird sobbing sound turned out to be her brother???
