Chapter 545: Sketching in the Art Museum
"Sakura, do you want to meet your mother?"
"Huh?"
Xia Yu's sudden words startled everyone, and Xiaoying herself looked over and asked in confusion.
"Xia, what do you mean?"
"I have a potion here that will allow you to see things that are invisible, including the souls of the dead."
As he spoke, Xia Yu took out a bottle of silver-white potion from his schoolbag, with bubbles still coming out of it.
After shaking the potion in front of everyone, Xia Yu said again: "Xiaoying, if you really want to see your mother, drink this potion."
"I……"
Xiaoying didn't know how to react for a moment, but Xiaoke slowly floated in front of Xia Yu and asked curiously, "Where did you get all these strange things? How come I've never heard of a potion that can see invisible things?"
Besides, it had never heard of the magic family with the surname Xia. However, it had heard of the magic family with the surname Li. After all, that was Clow Reed's mother's family.
Before Xiaoke could figure out what was going on, it suddenly felt someone knocking on its head.
Xia Yu tapped Xiao Ke's head gently with the potion and said disdainfully: "How can you look at me with your pathetic eyes, just a doll? My magic is something you can never understand even if you spend your entire life trying to understand it."
Xiao Ke: (ー`′ー)
"You taunt me again, little brat!"
"Hiss...are you a dog? Why are you biting me again? Let go!"
“Woo woo woo!”
Seeing Xiao Ke and Xia Yu suddenly starting to play around, Xiao Ying couldn't help but laugh, and her originally confused thoughts gradually became clearer.
"Xia, thank you very much for your kindness, but..."
"Drink it!"
Before Sakura could finish her refusal, Xia Yu suddenly pulled out the cork of the potion bottle at lightning speed and then pushed the bottle mouth into Sakura's mouth.
He has already changed, would it be unfair to him not to drink it?
Besides, the system doesn’t have a recycling function, so he can’t just drink it himself.
After putting the mouth of the potion bottle into Sakura's mouth, Xia Yu lifted it up and the potion immediately flowed into Sakura's mouth. Sakura subconsciously swallowed it down.
After a few seconds, the potion in the bottle was empty.
“Cough cough cough…”
After drinking all the potion in one breath, Sakura couldn't help but pat her chest and cough a few times. If she hadn't swallowed quickly, she would have choked.
Sakura, who had recovered, was about to complain when she suddenly noticed a translucent figure appear beside her.
The figure was wearing a light green dress, with milky white angel wings on her back, and her long, slightly curly hair was flying in the air. She was looking at her tenderly.
"Mother?"
Sakura shouted in disbelief.
Noticing that Sakura was staring at her, Kinomoto Nadeshiko covered her mouth in surprise: "Can you see me?"
It was this action that made Sakura discover something different. The mother in front of her now had a wedding ring on her left ring finger, which was not on the mother she had seen before.
"Mom, is this really mom this time?"
Sakura couldn't help but take two steps forward. Kinomoto Nadeshiko also recovered from her surprise and smiled gently, "I was a little worried this time, so I came back to check. Fortunately, Sakura, nothing happened to you."
"Mother!"
Sakura's eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't help but take two steps forward and open her arms. Kinomoto Nadeshiko also walked forward with a smile and hugged Sakura in her arms.
Although they couldn't touch each other, both Sakura and Kinomoto Nadeshiko felt each other's warmth at this moment.
"Well, let's not disturb the mother-daughter reunion."
After Xia Yu put away the empty glass bottle , he grabbed Xiaoke with one hand and Zhishi with the other and walked away.
"The mother and daughter must have endless thoughts about each other, so let's leave the space for them."
After hearing Xia Yu's explanation, Zhi Shi turned around and looked at Xiao Ying who was left alone, and couldn't help asking, "Xia Yu, did Xiao Ying really see her mother?"
"Why? You don't believe it?"
"No……"
Tomoyo shook her head, looked at Xia Yu again, narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Xia, I'm just... happy for Sakura. After all, Sakura lost her mother when she was young, and now Sakura can finally realize her dream."
"Hey, don't you see who is helping her?"
"Yes, yes, Xia is the best~"
…
Midnight.
The moonlight once again descended on Tomoeda Town, but the lush branches and leaves in the forest blocked the light of the stars and the moon, and only the city in the distance was still bright.
Xia Yu, Chiyo and Xiao Ke gathered together and were watching the video, which was the heroic scene of Sakura sealing the Clow Cards.
After seeing the latest jumping card from the first flying card, Sakura walked over with red eyes and faint traces of tears at the corners of her eyes.
After coming over, Xiaoying strode to Xia Yu, then bowed deeply and said: "Xia, thank you for letting me see my mother. My mother has returned to her beautiful heaven, and she also asked me to say thank you to you."
"You're welcome, I just wanted to do that."
Xia Yu reached out his hand to help Xiaoying up, and said with a smile: "If you really want to thank me, then quickly seal up the deceptive phantom card, but the phantom card must belong to me."
"Okay!" Sakura clenched the pink magic wand in her hand and said with determination: "We must seal this Clow Card and never let it continue to cause trouble!"
After making up my mind, all that’s left is for the phantom card to appear.
At this moment, the phantom card that had disappeared without a trace suddenly reappeared as if it had heard their conversation.
A faint blue fluorescence floated in the air, just like when the magic card first appeared.
The next second, a faint blue light surged, and then a beautiful figure walked out of it. Looking at this woman who seemed to have walked out of a photo, Sakura was still stunned even though she knew that this was an illusion of the Clow Cards.
But soon, Sakura shook her head vigorously and came to her senses. No matter how similar the illusion was, it was fake.
What's more, she had just seen her real mother, and this phantom had neither a wedding ring nor angel wings, so she couldn't be fooled anymore.
Sakura forced herself to suppress the complicated emotions in her heart and her eyes became firm.
This is not her mother at all! An illusion is an illusion, and it can never compare to the real thing!
When Sakura cleared away her confusion and looked at the phantom again, the phantom, which was as beautiful as the photo, suddenly began to flicker.
The deceiving reality also began to become illusory, just like an old TV with problems, the clear picture began to flicker.
When this scene was reflected in Sakura's eyes, she waved the wand in her hand, strode towards the phantom, and then smashed it down hard with the wand.
This stick inevitably carries the anger of being deceived in the heart.
"Return to your original form, Clow Card!"
"bite--!"
With a ding sound, the tip of the bird-head magic wand slammed hard on the body of the phantom card. The next moment, a huge amount of magic power surged out from the magic wand.
The flickering phantom became even more illusory, and finally shattered into a piece of brilliant human-shaped light. Then the human-shaped light was completely sucked into the illusory card, and a paper card also condensed from the tip of .
The card that appeared slowly floated into Sakura's hand. Seeing this, Sakura immediately raised her hands and cheered, "Great! Sakura, you have successfully captured another Clow Card. You are worthy of being the Clow Card user that I chose!"
The Chinese word "幻" is written on the top of the illusion card, and the English word "THE ILLUSION" is written on the bottom. The image in the middle is a gorgeous pattern like a kaleidoscope.
Sakura looked at the colorfully patterned phantom card in her hand. After confirming that the phantom card had been sealed, she walked up to Xia Yu and handed it to him.
"Here, Xia, if you hadn't let me see my real mother, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to seal the phantom card at all."
"Hehe~ You're underestimating yourself again, Sakura."
After Xia Yu took the phantom card, he patted Xiaoying's head and replied: "You are the one and only Clow Magician. Even without me, you can successfully seal the Clow Cards."
"Hmm..." Xiao Ke at the side watched Xia Yu put away the phantom card. He couldn't help but frowned and floated in front of Xia Yu, snorting: "This time, since you let Xiaoying see her mother, I will give you the phantom card. Next time, I won't be so easy to talk to, hum!"
"Yes, thank you handsome Lord Kelberos for being so generous and willing to give this card to me. I will never forget your generosity."
Being complimented like this, Xiao Ke immediately felt elated, and couldn't help but hold his head high and said proudly: "I didn't expect you to be so nice. Since you call me sir, I won't bite you if you make me angry again in the future. Who says I am a generous person?"
You are not human...
Xia Yu complained in his heart, but still complimented him: "Then I would like to thank you in advance, Lord Kelberos."
“Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch~”
After taming the rebellious Clow Cards, the few of them no longer had any reason to stay in the back mountain. Besides, although Sakura could see things that were previously invisible, she was still as afraid of ghosts as before.
Even though she knew ghosts didn't exist, the atmosphere of the forest at night still made her feel a little scared.
At Sakura's urging, the few of them had to quickly leave the back mountain, return to the road, say goodbye, and go home.
The next few days were another long period of free time. It seemed that every time I sealed a Clow Card, I had to wait a long time before encountering new anomalies.
But Xia Yu has gotten used to it. For him, he has a lot of free time, whether it is weekends or school days.
After all, elementary school students don’t have much to do. Compared to going to school, his energy is actually mainly focused on his own company.
Although he has a large inheritance to use, he can't always squander it and not save some, right?
If you want to live comfortably, you can’t do without money.
Since his identity was purchased directly from the system mall, no one coveted everything he inherited, and the employees assigned by the company were also loyal to him.
Even though he was just a ten-year-old elementary school student.
It's very unscientific, but the system is unscientific, so two negatives equal a positive, which is very scientific.
In a manor.
"Master, Dadao Temple Group has agreed to our cooperation intention, but..."
At this point, the butler hesitated. As a servant, he shouldn't interfere with his master's decision. Even if the decision was outrageous, who made him serve such a young master?
"Just what?"
Xia Yu supported his face with one hand and asked casually while looking at the company's future development plan.
"Do we really want to cooperate with Daidoji Group on the drone project? Daidoji Group is just a large toy company, why should we cooperate with them on the drone project?"
Speaking of this, the butler is really a little puzzled. If it was a cooperative toy project, he would not have any questions, but the drone project... this is no longer in the category of toys!
“Heh~”
Xia Yu put down the plan in his hand and chuckled, "Don't ask, the Daidoji Group is definitely underestimated. Do you really think they are just an ordinary large toy company?"
Which toy company could develop a stable camera drone? Not to mention the mobile phone that Chiyo gave him. Maybe the touch-screen mobile phone in the future was also invented by the Daidoji Group.
"That's it. Even though this is just a drone project right now, there may be more projects for us to cooperate on in the future."
Seeing Xia Yu say this, the butler no longer asked any questions. Since the master had a clue in his mind, that was enough.
"By the way, prepare a box of sketching pencils for me. We are going to the art gallery to sketch tomorrow for our craft class."
"clear."
The next day, at the art museum.
This time the class was held outdoors instead of in the classroom.
However, today was not an off-campus teaching day, but a craft class, and their class came to the local art gallery to practice sketching in the gallery.
However, the sketching of primary school students is just like that, and the teachers mainly let the students come out to broaden their horizons.
Inside the art museum, the curator was telling the gathered students about the history of the museum and explaining some things to note about the museum.
After he finished speaking, the handsome head teacher came to assign the sketching task to the students.
Not long after, when everything that needed to be said had been said, the head teacher announced the dismissal.
"Sketching, I really miss it."
Xia Yu took his sketchbook and sketch pencil, looked around the art museum's collections, and couldn't help feeling emotional.
He hadn't done any sketching for more than ten years. He thought about the first time he did sketching when he was participating in the training camp for art exam candidates before he traveled through time.
At that time , he painted when he ate, slept, and even dreamed. All of this was for the purpose of getting high scores in the art examination. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he was back to elementary school.
"Hmm? Has Xia ever had any experience in sketching before?"
Sakura, who was standing by, heard Xia Yu's sigh and asked curiously.
"Yes, it was a painful memory, but it's been so long, no matter how painful it was, it's just a memory now."
"Um... is life drawing painful?"
Hearing what Xia Yu said, Xiaoying was a little confused. She seemed very happy when she was painting and didn't feel much pain?
Xia Yu glanced at Xiaoying and didn't give a specific answer. When a hobby becomes a task, it will be painful no matter what you do.
If painting is a hobby, then you will naturally feel happy, but if it becomes a task, then there is only torture and pain.
"Too much is as bad as too little..."
Seeing that Xia Yu was saying something incomprehensible again, Xiaoying stopped dwelling on this question and turned to ask Zhishi: "Zhishi, where are you going to paint?"
"I want to draw that statue here." Tomoyo pointed to the statue standing in the atrium, which was a sculpture composed of different shapes.
"Where's Xia?"
"I'll draw the statue too. After all, it's been a while since I've drawn a statue that has both geometry and circles."
"Okay, let's draw together!"
