Chapter 225 Spike?
"That is..."
Sakura opened her closed eyes and found herself on a high mountain peak, surrounded by complete silence, twinkling starlight, and a vast expanse of white.
The higher you go, the colder it gets; a strong wind rises, causing her hair to flutter.
The starlight shone brightly and fell down, as if she were draped in a pink sheet, fluttering in the wind.
"Bed sheets?" Sakura noticed her shawl, and a sense of familiarity welled up inside her.
"This design"
Just as a figure with dark purple eyes was about to appear in Sakura's hazy mind, she suddenly seemed to hear a series of calls.
"Kinomoto——"
"Kinomoto——!"
Sakura noticed that on the towering, dreamlike Tokyo Tower ahead, someone seemed to be hiding amidst a dazzling display of light, making it difficult for her to see clearly.
"Is that person calling me?"
Sakura felt her consciousness becoming a little blurry, and the next moment, she suddenly felt as if someone had pushed her.
"Sakura! Wake up!"
"what!"
Sakura felt as if she had suddenly fallen into an abyss, and her previously hazy consciousness instantly cleared.
When she realized the situation, she was completely stunned.
"(°ー°〃) Uh, teacher?"
At that moment, her homeroom teacher, Yoshiyuki Terada, stood in front of him.
His tall stature exuded a sense of intimidation, and his dark blue suit further enhanced his imposing presence.
"Hahaha~" Sakura felt much more awake, but she still couldn't hide the fatigue on her face.
Terada Yoshiyuki bent down. Although he looked very serious and upright, he actually had a very good personality and a very positive outlook on life.
Seeing Sakura's tired face, he didn't scold her. Instead, he patted her head and softened his tone.
"Kinomoto-kun, did you not sleep well last night?"
Terada Yoshiyuki's eyes were sharp, but there was a hint of concern in them.
"Uh, I... I mean... um!" Sakura stammered, unsure of what to say, and could only nod in the end.
"Since you didn't get enough rest yesterday, you must get a good rest tonight. I hope I won't see you sleeping in class next time."
Terada Yoshiyuki smiled slightly, then returned to the podium. Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the school term.
"Alright, that concludes today's lesson. Students, you can pack your things and go home now. Remember to review your lessons when you get home!"
"Hi!"
The students each picked up their small backpacks, then greeted their teachers and left together.
"8181~"
"Mama~"
The friends said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.
After most of the students had left, Sakura finally finished packing her things.
Seeing that Sakura was taking so long to pack her things, and clearly preoccupied, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but ask, "Sakura, what's wrong? Are you still embarrassed because you were caught sleeping in class by the teacher?"
Message: Your friendly interaction made Sakura, who had already forgotten about the incident, feel awkward again.
Message: You have obtained a level 3 spiritual item—Grass Fruit!
Message: This item has been added to the All-Heavens Friendly Exchange Shop, priced at 3000 Negative Points/piece.
Message: Sakura Kinomoto's negative points +999
Grass Fruit: A level three spiritual item containing a large amount of special elements. It can be used as an alchemy material or directly by creatures with wood-type attributes or elements. Normal people will only gain a small amount of magic power after consuming it. The grass element will take effect in another form within their bodies, such as... grass growing on their heads~
"This reward is pretty good." Wang Changsheng glanced at the system introduction, and his eyelids twitched when he saw the last sentence about grass growing on the head. "But it's okay, this stuff can be fed to Bulbasaur."
Sakura's cheeks flushed slightly, and she shook her head at Wang Changsheng: "No, I was just thinking about something else."
"Oh? Is that so? I thought you were upset." Wang Changsheng pulled his attention away from the system rewards and looked at Xiaoying again. "You don't know, the teacher stood next to us and called you for ages but couldn't wake you up. He thought something was wrong with you and almost called an ambulance. He was really scared, haha~"
Message: Sakura Kinomoto's negative points +999
"Huh?" Sakura's cheeks turned completely red. She scratched her head. "I'm so sorry, teacher. Actually, I didn't mean to stay asleep. It's just that I just..."
Xiaoying was just about to tell Wang Changsheng that she had just had another dream.
She was trapped in a dream and that's why she didn't wake up; she wasn't actually sleeping that soundly...
However, the little wolf beside her didn't let her finish speaking. It moved closer to Wang Changsheng and interrupted her explanation.
"I've thought about it, and I realize that I was wrong last night. Someone told me that a shop has opened nearby that sells small commodities from China. I'd like to invite you to go and browse around, and I'll buy you some small gifts as an apology."
The slightly hoarse, boyish voice of the young wolf rang out from the center of the group.
The housekeeper had mentioned that shop to him by chance yesterday. Little Wolf noticed that Wang Changsheng seemed to be immersed in his own world all day, ignoring his classes and ignoring him.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
He thought Wang Changsheng was disgusted by his actions, and after thinking for a long time, he decided to apologize to Xiaoying.
In that case...
Little Wolf glanced at Wang Changsheng.
They should be able to forgive themselves now, right?
"Huh?" Sakura was stunned when Syaoran apologized to her. She and Tomoyo exchanged a glance and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes before she felt relieved.
"So, Xiao Wang, are you going?" Xiao Ying naturally asked Wang Changsheng for his opinion first.
"Since they've already invited us, it would be impolite to refuse. Why don't we go take a look around? I'd also like to see what kind of trinkets they have from China." Wang Changsheng nodded and accepted the little wolf's invitation.
To be honest, Wang Changsheng didn't expect the little wolf to suddenly back down, but after a brief moment of surprise, he quickly came to his senses.
"Then I'll go take a look too." Since Xiao Wang went, Xiao Ying said she was very willing to go as well.
She turned her head and looked at Tomoyo, who had a serene expression.
Before Sakura could even speak, Tomoyo understood what she wanted to say, so she simply replied, "I'll go too."
"Then let's hurry up and set off." Wang Changsheng slung his backpack, which he had already packed, over his shoulder, and got up to walk out of the classroom.
Sakura and Syaoran quickly followed.
Tomoyo watched the three figures leave for a moment, then followed them.
Wang Changsheng was originally walking in front, but after leading the way for a while, he suddenly realized that he had no idea where the shop Xiaolang mentioned was. So he turned around and called Xiaolang to go to the front and lead the way.
The shop that Little Wolf mentioned wasn't far from the school, but it was a bit of a roundabout route, requiring crossing several streets.
After walking for eight or nine minutes, Wang Changsheng and Xiaoying stood in front of a boutique.
From the outside, this boutique's decor has a strong European style.
Wang Changsheng glanced around and had no idea that this store would sell items from China.
They're more likely to sell small items like crosses inside.
Wang Changsheng's suspicious gaze fell on the little wolf.
Noticing Wang Changsheng's gaze, Xiaolang seemed to understand what he was thinking and replied directly, "This shop is connected, with two ends. This side sells Western items, and the other side sells Eastern items. The school is closer to this side, so we can just go through it."
"Oh~" Wang Changsheng nodded, "Whoosh!"
The owner of this shop is quite resourceful; selling both Eastern and Western items together must be quite profitable.
Wang Changsheng could tell from the shop's grand and exquisite decoration that the owner had put a lot of effort into it. The architecture was perfectly integrated with the flowers, trees, and shrubs, and the design of the house was also very ingenious, combining solemnity with a touch of romance.
"This renovation must have cost a lot of money, right?" Wang Changsheng praised the store's decor.
The shop owner must be quite wealthy.
The location of this shop is also carefully chosen. It looks quiet all around, but it is actually in the middle of a bustling area.
It's a quiet spot in the middle of the city, but there's still a fair amount of foot traffic.
The rent alone would probably be a huge expense every month.
"Let's go in." Little Wolf took the first step and walked into the store.
As soon as they entered, the soft light emanating from the pendant lights overhead fell upon them.
The light is not glaring, but it is very bright. The light combines with the surrounding buildings to create a perfect composition.
"This interior design must have been created by some famous artist, right?" Wang Changsheng couldn't help but wonder.
His estate is very large, and although the interior decoration of the villa is quite good, it is by no means perfect.
But this place is quite unusual.
"That should be true." Little Wolf nodded. This was his first time here. He had only heard his butler mention it before, saying that if there was a suitable person, he could bring them here for a stroll.
"This setup is truly impressive. I wish I could hire someone to set up my little world like this," Wang Changsheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The shop had many exquisite little trinkets, which immediately caught Sakura's eye.
She pulled Tomoyo to a display stand with a bunch of brooches and hair clips on it. Sakura felt her eyes were going to glaze over; they were all so pretty, and she wanted them all.
But she didn't have much pocket money left, and she didn't know if Little Wolf was joking when he said he would give them a small gift...
Little Wolf watched Sakura and the other girl making their selections without saying a word. He simply turned around and focused his gaze on Wang Changsheng.
"Let them pick things out here. Let's go take a look at what's over there. You can take anything you like, and I'll pay for it at the end."
For some reason, Wang Changsheng suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, like that of a domineering CEO.
He looked at the little wolf, then nodded slightly.
Well, since they're treating, I might as well buy something. They've already spent the money, so it's okay to let them experience what it's like to be a consumer.
Wang Changsheng didn't say anything, but followed the little wolf to the other side.
They left, and Tomoyo watched their departing figures before turning back to Sakura, who was struggling to choose which one to pick, and said, "I didn't expect Li-kun to bring us to this store."
"Eh? Tomoyo, you know this shop too?" Sakura, holding a small apple hair clip in one hand and a small red heart brooch in the other, turned her head to look at Tomoyo when she heard her words.
Tomoyo smiled and nodded: "That's right, this shop is owned by my mother's friend, and the interior design was done by me at my mother's request."
Sakura: ????????
"This place was designed by... Tomoyo..."
Sakura looked around at the desolate surroundings and swallowed hard.
How come Tomoyo seems to be so much better than me, even though we're both elementary school students?
Not only does she have a great personality and a good family background, but she also excels academically, possesses a beautiful singing voice, and has such strong design skills...
Looking back at herself, Xiaoying suddenly understood the meaning of the idiom the teacher had taught her in class.
"I feel so ashamed of myself, sob sob!"
In terms of magic, I can't compare to Xiao Wang or the new student Li.
In terms of other aspects, he is completely incomparable to Tomoyo.
Ψ(●°?????????°????????●)Ψ Waaaaah……
World, this is so unfair!
------
Wang Changsheng was then led by the little wolf through the boundary between the east and west squares.
The designer of this store has created a very creative passageway leading to the two main halls.
Walking here, you can clearly feel the changes in the surrounding environment; there is a gradual transition trend.
The collision of Eastern and Western cultures here has created a magnificent visual feast.
"Is this an imperial seal? There are even small keychains like this."
"This is a 1:1 replica? Wow, it's so expensive..."
"Hmm? This doll looks so familiar, why does it seem so familiar?"
As he strolled around, Wang Changsheng suddenly noticed a movable handcart placed by the roadside, filled with identical dolls.
These dolls are somewhat similar to Xiao Ke, but they are a deep purple with a bluish tint, completely different from Xiao Ke's earthy yellow.
"This..." A flash of lightning streaked through Wang Changsheng's mind, and suddenly a name came to mind.
"A female version of Xiao Ke?"
"no."
"Speedy???"
Spineo's full name is Spineo the Sun.
Just like Koko is a magical creature created by Clow Reed, Spike is Ai...
"What was it again? Oh right, Eriol!"
Spike was created by Eriol to correspond to Kero.
However, it's clear that Elio put a lot of effort into creating Spike.
This is different from Kuro randomly giving Kero two eyes.
Spike's bright, sparkling eyes hold a hint of nobility and aloofness, yet at other times they appear so playful and adorable.
Only Xiao Ke is running wildly down the path of ugly cuteness, running further and further away...
