People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 139 Ye Hui: What?! I swapped bodies with Tomoyo?!

There weren't many people in the classroom now. They ate quickly today and didn't want to wander around elsewhere, so they came back to the classroom early.

But in a little while, someone will definitely come up.

Tomoyo frowned and tried to move her hand holding the water cup.

But the glass could only sway slightly and couldn't do anything else, which made her a little distressed.

"It's okay, this is easy to handle." Ye Hui walked to Zhi Shi's side and gestured for her to relax. "Don't be nervous, I'll use magic to help you switch your hand back."

He reached out, his fingers gathering a wisp of gentle spiritual energy, and lightly touched Tomoyo's hand holding the water glass.

"All things return to their origin."

As the words fell, a pale golden light enveloped Tomoyo's hand and the "hand-shaped water glass" on the table.

After the flash of light, both instantly returned to their original state.

Tomoyo's right hand returned to its fair shape, and the water glass on the table returned to its original state, as if the strange event had never happened.

"It's back to normal!" Sakura exclaimed in surprise, then leaned over to examine Tomoyo's hand closely. Only after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Tomoyo flexed her fingers, feeling the familiar touch, and a relieved smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Ye Hui-kun."

"You're welcome, it's easy."

Ye Hui smiled and turned his gaze to the direction the broom had fled. "Now we just need to wait until after school to catch that naughty card-switching broom."

……

When the school bell rings.

Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi then chased after the direction in which the card exchange had taken place.

With the spiritual energy mark left by Ye Hui, they didn't have to worry about losing track of him at all.

Under Ye Hui's guidance.

The three of them quickly crossed the path behind the teaching building and arrived at the grove of trees on the hill behind the school.

As soon as they entered the woods, Ye Hui stopped and pointed to the bushes not far away: "It's right there, hiding in there."

Sakura looked in the direction he pointed and saw the familiar broom leaning against the tree trunk, seemingly pretending to be a tool.

"That's it!" She immediately raised her wand, gathering her magic. "Wind!"

Swish!
Just as the chains were about to entangle the broom, the broom suddenly moved!
It suddenly crashed into a large tree next to it, and a white light flashed by.

The next second, the broom and the tree switched places. The wind chains tightly wrapped around the tree trunk, while the broom landed on the open ground and proudly rubbed the ground with its broom head.

"Damn it! It got away!" Sakura stomped her foot in anger and launched another attack, "Lightning!"

Lightning bolted from the tip of the wand, striking the broom.

This time, the broom reacted even faster. Before the lightning could get close, it swapped positions with a rock about half a person's height next to it. The lightning struck the rock, sending sparks flying.

In the ensuing chase, the broom, relying on its ability to switch places, darted through the woods, sometimes swapping positions with wildflowers, sometimes with dead branches, leaving Sakura completely bewildered.

"Damn it! This thing is so slippery! I can't catch it at all!" Sakura was panting heavily as she chased after it, her forehead covered in sweat. She could barely hold onto her wand, let alone touch the edge of the broom.

"Sakura, don't panic, calm down first." Tomoyo spoke up in time, observing the movement pattern of the broom while reminding her, "Although its ability is troublesome, it is not without flaws. Each time it changes position, it needs a clear target object, and it cannot change in the air."

She pointed to a clearing at the edge of the woods: "So, as long as we can lure it to an open area where there's nothing to trade, it won't be able to hide anymore."

"That's it! Great idea!" Sakura slapped her forehead, instantly perking up, and turned to Ye Hui, "Ye Hui-kun, do you have a way to lure it over there?"

"Leave this to me." Ye Hui nodded.

Dealing with a broom doesn't require much effort at all.

"Then I'll leave it to Ye Hui-jun!" Xiaoying said without any doubt.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +5]

Ye Hui activated his supernatural powers.

next second.

His figure appeared out of thin air next to the broom.

Before the broom could react, he reached out and grabbed the broom handle.

Then, carrying a broom, he stepped onto the open ground.

Without the cover of the surrounding trees and rocks, the broom was completely useless.

Without the cover of switching positions, the broom is like a tiger without claws.

It struggled in Ye Hui's hand, but could not break free no matter what it did, and could only futilely slap the ground with the broom head.

"Restore your original form! Clow Card!" Sakura immediately ran over, raised her wand, pointed it at the broom, and shouted loudly.

As she finished speaking, the magic on the broom gradually dissipated.

A beam of colorful light flew out of the broom, condensed in the air into the shape of a card, and slowly landed in Sakura's hand.

It's a card change.

"Great! I've captured another one!" Sakura cheered happily, holding up the card and waving it in front of her eyes. Then, as usual, she turned around and handed the card to Ye Hui. "Ye Hui-kun, here you go~"

Ye Hui reached out and took the card. As soon as he touched the card, a system notification popped up.

[At the critical moment, you arrived just in time and defeated the substitute monster that was harming the guardian deity, Daidouji Tomoyo! You guess she must have been captivated by your heroic appearance!]

Congratulations on completing the "Connection" side quest...

Before Ye Hui could finish reading the mission log, the card exchange in his hand suddenly unleashed a powerful magical force.

It's several times stronger than the magic it possessed when it was attached to the broom!
A blinding white light instantly enveloped the entire open space, and he instinctively closed his eyes.

When the light faded, Ye Hui slowly opened his eyes, only to find that something was wrong with the scene before him.

The surrounding trees seemed to have grown taller, and even he seemed taller than usual.

No, wait, it seems like I've gotten shorter?
wrong!

Did he get taller and then shorter?

He looked down and froze instantly.

The girl wearing the uniform was actually a girls' version of the Yuzhi Elementary School uniform!

Opposite him stood a "himself" dressed in a boys' school uniform, with the same bewildered expression on his face.

Next to "myself" stood another "Sakura" with the same confused expression.

Is there even a question...? It must be that the magic of the card swapping didn't completely dissipate, and it swapped their bodies!

Ye Hui instantly understood, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"I... how did I become Ye Huijun?!" "Ye Hui" looked at the hands that didn't belong to him, then touched his face, his face full of shock.

Without a doubt, the body of "Ye Hui" contains Xiaoying's soul.

"Sakura? You're inside Ye Huijun's body?"

Ye Hui looked at the "self" whose soul was Sakura.

Then she looked at the "Sakura" next to her whose soul was Tomoyo.

So, the current situation is...

His soul entered Tomoyo's body.

Tomoyo's soul entered Sakura's body.

Sakura's soul then entered his body.

What... what kind of situation is this?!
[You were ambushed by the substitute demon beast before its death! Your primordial spirit was swapped with that of the guardian deity Daidouji Tomoyo! And Daidouji Tomoyo's primordial spirit entered the body of Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Root!]

The side quest "Before the Festival" has been updated to "The Death of a Substitute"!

Ye Hui rolled his eyes inwardly.

The reason I didn't just roll my eyes directly is because, with Tomoyo's face, rolling my eyes would just be a bit too much, cough cough, it's just too much.

Moreover, in the original storyline, Li Xiaolang and Xiao Ke switched places because they encountered the card swapping at the same time.

None of the three of them encountered a card swap at the same time.

The card swapping has been successfully sealed.

You even replaced the monster's pre-death assassination attempt? System, do you really believe that?
He subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to rub his temples, but saw a fair and slender hand held up in front of him.

That was Tomoyo's hand.

Ye Hui simply summoned a water curtain, in which a familiar face was clearly reflected.

Soft eyebrows and eyes, a delicate nose, and lips that always carry a gentle smile.

That's exactly how Zhi Shi looks.

Looking at Tomoyo's face reflected in the water screen, Ye Hui felt a pang of unease.

How did he suddenly become a cute girl?

This is unacceptable!
And she turned into Tomoyo-chan!!

"Ye Huijun? Are you inside my body right now?" "Sakura," dressed in Sakura's clothes, walked over.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +7】

Ye Hui nodded with difficulty, and just as he opened his mouth, he heard a gentle and delicate voice.

That was Tomoyo's unique voice, completely different from his usual tone.

"Hmm...it seems so."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +8】

On the other side, Sakura, now sporting Ye Hui's face, had already run to the water curtain, getting very close, her face full of curiosity.

She first pinched "her own" cheek, feeling the unfamiliar touch, then raised her hand to brush away the stray hairs on her forehead, and even made a face at the water screen, looking both funny and cute.

"Wow, I suddenly think Ye Huijun, you're really handsome! And you have a very strong power inside you. I feel like you'd be really powerful when you use your magic!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +10]

Ye Hui watched as Xiaoying made all sorts of funny faces with her own face, his lips pressed tightly together, barely managing to hold back from twitching violently.

Please, Sakura!

Don't use my face to do this kind of thing, my mature image is going to collapse!
"Using Sakura's body seems pretty good."

Tomoyo, who had entered Sakura's body, gently moved her fingers, feeling the magical fluctuations within the body, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Tomoyo..." Sakura, wearing Ye Hui's face, blushed and her ear tips turned pink upon hearing this, speaking such shy words in Ye Hui's voice.
It just sounds so out of place!

"Stop worrying about it. Just switch back to your original body. We need to use the power of the card swap again." Ye Hui sighed softly. "To use its power again, we need Sakura to activate it."

"Me?" Sakura, wearing Ye Hui's face, pointed to herself, uncertainly saying, "But I'm using your body right now, Ye Hui-kun, can I still use magic? I've never tried using a boy's body to manipulate magic before..."

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Ye Hui patiently explained, "Xiaoying, your magic comes from your soul and has little to do with your body's gender or form. Your body is just a vessel for your magic. You just might need some time to adapt to your new body rhythm."

"Try to concentrate and feel the magic within you, just like you would when you summon a Clow Card."

His long, straight black hair swayed slightly with his movement.

This feeling of being pressed against someone else's body... is really strange.

Ye Hui couldn't help but raise his hand and touch "his" long hair.

It feels silky smooth to the touch and has a light, pleasant shampoo scent.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

"Cough cough." Ye Hui quickly withdrew his hand.

It feels like I've been caught red-handed...

But now is not the time to worry about what brand of shampoo Tomoyo uses; the most important thing is to switch back.

“Sakura, give it a try,” Ye Hui said.

"Okay! I'll give it a try!" Sakura nodded.

She used Ye Hui's body to hold the magic wand and aimed it at the card switcheroo.

But the wand didn't react at all, not even a trace of magical energy.

"Huh? What's going on? Why isn't it responding?" Sakura was getting anxious and tried several more times, but the result was still the same.

Her face fell, and she said dejectedly, "It's no good, Ye Huijun. I can't feel the magic anymore. It's like the magic is trapped in this body."

Ye Hui shook his head helplessly: "The magic hasn't disappeared, it's just that you haven't adapted to the rhythm of this body yet. What you need to do now is not to rush to cast the spell, but to calm down and feel the connection between you and the Clow Cards—the magic originates from your soul and has nothing to do with your body. You need to find this 'connection' before commanding the card swapping action."

Sakura obediently closed her eyes and tried her best to concentrate.

But the more anxious I get, the more chaotic my mind becomes.

One moment it's a scene of myself making funny faces with Ye Huijun's face on top of my own.

One moment it's Ye Huijun speaking in Zhi Shi's voice.

And there's Tomoyo smiling while wearing her own clothes...

This tangled and complicated relationship was driving her to the brink of a mental breakdown.

"No... I can't calm down at all." Sakura opened her eyes.

Ye Hui sighed softly as he looked at her anxious expression.

He walked up to Sakura, extended Tomoyo's fair hand, and gently pressed it against her forehead—which was also his own forehead.

"Ye Huijun?" Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, looking at him with confusion.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +6]

"Close your eyes, relax your mind, don't think about anything else, just follow my power."

Ye Hui spoke in a gentle yet firm tone, slowly channeling spiritual energy into his fingers.

Although he is currently inside Tomoyo's body, Tomoyo also possesses basic spiritual power, enough to help Sakura stabilize her mind.

Sakura obediently closed her eyes and stopped thinking nonsense.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

As spiritual energy slowly flowed in, Sakura's brows gradually relaxed.

Under Ye Hui's guidance, she finally managed to detect her own magical fluctuations amidst her chaotic thoughts.

Sakura suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze hardening. She raised her wand, aimed it at the card swap, and clearly shouted, "Swap! Restore us to our original forms!"

The moment the words left his mouth, a dazzling light burst forth from the tip of the wand, the card began to spin in the air, and a soft white light enveloped the three of them once again.

Ye Hui felt a sudden dizziness, as if his body was being pulled by a force, slowly separating from and returning to its original position with another soul.

When he regained consciousness, the scene before him finally returned to normal.

The surrounding trees returned to their familiar height, and Sakura and Tomoyo stood in their original positions, wearing their own clothes.

Ye Hui looked down at his hands.

It was a hand he knew well, with distinct knuckles, and he touched his face again, the touch real and familiar.

Yes, it's definitely my own body.

"Finally, it's back." He breathed a sigh of relief.

Becoming a cute girl sounds like a lot of fun.

But after experiencing it firsthand, you realize how strange that feeling of "your soul being inside someone else's body" is.

And how many things are hard to explain?
It's still most comfortable to stay inside your own body.

"I'm back to normal!" Sakura jumped up excitedly, touched her cheek, shook her two little pigtails, and cheered happily, "That's great!"

Tomoyo wiggled her fingers, feeling the familiar rhythm of her body: "I'm finally back to normal. But actually, I was thinking of trying to see if I could use the Clow Cards with Sakura's body."

Sakura blinked: "Shall we try again?"

Tomoyo smiled and shook her head: "No, no need."

Seeing that the two had returned to normal, Ye Hui smiled and nodded, "Alright, now that we've switched back, let's hurry back."

Having just been in Tomoyo's body, I had to be careful even when raising my hand, afraid of ruining her gentle appearance.

[You remained calm and composed under pressure, successfully resolving the crisis of soul swapping caused by the substitute demon beast! The admiration for you from Dharma Protector Daidoji Tomoyo and Heavenly Spirit Root disciple Kinomoto Sakura is like a surging river, never-ending!]

[Congratulations on completing the side quest "The Death of a Substitute"! You have received the reward ability "Divine Speed"!]

[Spiritual movement: The spirit transcends the physical body; the primordial spirit leaves the body.]

Ye Hui glanced at the system notification, memorized the information about the supernatural ability, and led the two girls down the mountain. When they reached the exit of the grove, Xiaoying suddenly stopped and asked hesitantly, "By the way, about what we talked about yesterday... going to the amusement park tomorrow, are we still going?"

"Of course we're going." Ye Hui nodded, and couldn't help but laugh at her nervous look. "Everyone's tired today, so let's go to the amusement park tomorrow to relax and celebrate that we've successfully switched back to our original bodies."

"Yay!" Sakura cheered instantly, skipping and hopping forward. "Then we must go on every single ride tomorrow! Ferris wheel, carousel, roller coaster... we can't miss a single one!"

Tomoyo watched her cheerful figure disappear into the distance, her purple eyes curving into beautiful arcs, and softly added, "I'll also prepare brand new outfits for everyone to wear during the trip. They'll definitely be convenient for activities and perfect for taking photos~"

“Tomoyo…” Sakura’s expression became somewhat subtle when she heard that she was going to wear new clothes.

Ye Hui watched the interaction between the two and shook his head with a smile.

No matter what happens, Tomoyo's enthusiasm for preparing new clothes never diminishes; that's probably her unique gentleness.

……

Early the next morning.

The sun is shining and the breeze is gentle.

It's perfect weather for an outing.

A large number of tourists had already gathered at the entrance of Yuzhi Amusement Park, with laughter and chatter filling the air.

When Ye Hui arrived, he immediately spotted the two girls.

They all look great today.

Sakura wore a pink and white striped sweater with layers of lace trim at the hem, which swayed gently with her movements. She wore a matching pink bow hair clip, which made her round cheeks look especially cute.

Tomoyo wore a light purple wool coat, simple in design yet exuding elegance. Her long black hair was loosely tied back with a purple silk ribbon, with a few strands falling beside her cheeks, adding a touch of softness.

She was also holding a folder in her hand, and it was obvious that it contained clothing patterns prepared for Ye Hui.

"Good morning, Ye Hui-kun!" Sakura was the first to see him, waved happily, and ran over quickly. "Look, this is the new outfit Tomoyo prepared for me. Isn't it cute?"

"Good morning." Ye Hui replied with a smile, his gaze falling on Sakura and Tomoyo, and he couldn't help but praise, "You both look great today, perfect for an amusement park."

Upon hearing the praise, Tomoyo blushed slightly, stepped forward, handed over the folder in her hand, and said with a smile, "Ye Hui-kun, these are the patterns for your travel outfits. Considering that you'll be riding roller coasters and bumper cars, I designed loose-fitting clothes that will make it easier for you to move around."

Ye Hui resignedly accepted it.

Open the folder; inside is a very detailed design drawing.

She wore a loose white hooded sweatshirt with a small blue wave pattern embroidered on the chest, paired with light blue casual jeans with the cuffs slightly rolled up to reveal her ankles. On her head was a matching baseball cap with delicate white embroidery on the inside of the brim, which was both sun-protective and gave her a vibrant look.

Under the expectant gaze of Zhi Shi, Ye Hui used the Illusory Cloud Robe to transform into this outfit according to the blueprints in a secluded place.

The loose-fitting sweatshirt made him look even taller, and the light blue jeans outlined his sleek leg lines. The baseball cap was tilted at an angle on his head, blocking out some of the sunlight, making his exposed eyebrows and eyes look even more refreshing.

Unsurprisingly, he received a lot of praise.

"Wow! Ye Hui-kun, you look so good in this outfit!" Sakura's eyes lit up as she circled around Ye Hui, exclaiming, "The blue and white color scheme is so refreshing, it looks perfect for today's weather!"

"Yes, he has a very approachable older brother vibe, casual yet sharp." Tomoyo nodded with a smile, then raised her camera and pointed it at Ye Hui. "Could you turn slightly to the side? It would look better from this angle."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +7】

"Hi"

Ye Hui obediently turned to the side and gently pressed down the brim of his baseball cap.

The boy in the photo has a tall and straight posture and a gentle smile, which complements the colorful signs of the amusement park behind him.

"Alright, we've changed our clothes, let's go in." He straightened up and gestured with his chin toward the ticket gate.

"Okay!" Sakura and Tomoyo replied in unison and quickly followed.

After passing through the ticket gates and entering the amusement park, a lively atmosphere immediately greets you.

The sounds of children's laughter, the operation of amusement park rides, and vendors hawking cotton candy mingled together.

The air was filled with the sweet aroma of cotton candy, the savory scent of grilled sausages, and a faint fragrance of grass, all of which instantly lifted one's spirits.

"Let's go play on that first! The carousel!" Sakura spotted the carousel not far away at a glance.

The colorful rocking horse is decorated with golden tassels, and the dome at the top is painted with blue sky, white clouds and flying birds, which is quite dazzling in the sunlight.

She grabbed Tomoyo's hand and shook it excitedly.

“Okay.” Tomoyo nodded with a smile.

Ye Hui naturally had no objections; he was there to accompany them in their activities.

As long as they're happy, whatever they do is fine; I'll play along to the end.
The three of them arrived at the carousel. There weren't many people in line, and it was their turn soon.

Sakura chose the most exquisitely decorated white wooden horse, adorned with pink ribbons and with gold reins.

Tomoyo then chose a black wooden horse next to her.

Ye Hui found the brown wooden horse closest to the two of them and sat down, so that he could see Sakura's smiling face and also keep an eye on Tomoyo's movements.

As cheerful music began to play, the carousel slowly started to turn.

Sakura sat on the rocking horse, holding the reins with both hands, waving happily at Ye Hui and Tomoyo, her ponytail fluttering gently as the horse turned.

Tomoyo held onto the silver bar of the rocking horse with one hand and held up a camera with the other, the lens fixed on Sakura, occasionally turning to Ye Hui to capture the faint smile on his lips.

Ye Hui looked at the two people beside him.

One was lively and cheerful, the other gentle and quiet, but both were bathed in the warm sunlight.

A warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Although he thought the carousel was a bit childish.

But seeing how happy they were, he was also infected by their joy.

[You saw Sakura Kinomoto, a disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Root, and Tomoyo Daidouji, a guardian deity, practicing their magical artifacts on the festival day. You believed this was the key to their strength, so you hid, attempting to secretly learn from them!]

After the carousel stopped, Ye Hui followed the two to the bumper car area.

He originally wanted to stay outside and take photos for them, but he couldn't resist Sakura's persistent pleading.

"Ye Huijun, let's play together! Look how fun bumper cars are! How about we team up?"

Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Ye Hui had no choice but to agree.

He, Sakura, and Tomoyo got into the same blue bumper car. Sakura sat in the middle, Tomoyo sat on the right, and he was in charge of steering.

As the venue bell rang, the bumper cars started moving.

With his superhuman reaction speed and precise control, Ye Hui displayed overwhelming strength from the very beginning.

He skillfully dodged the collisions from other bumper cars, while seizing the right moment to counterattack, sending a red bumper car spinning in place.

When they encountered vehicles attempting to surround them, he cleverly circled around to the side and lightly touched them, causing them to lose their balance.

Ye Hui knocked down all the other cars, leaving them sprawling and swaying.

Sakura and Tomoyo sat in the bumper car, laughing as it swayed. Occasionally, they would direct Ye Hui, "Ye Hui-kun, to the left! There's a car coming from the left!"

After one lap, Ye Hui unsurprisingly became the king of bumper cars.

"Ye Huijun! You're amazing!" Sakura screamed excitedly, gripping the handrail tightly with both hands, her face full of excitement. "It looks like we're going to win!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

As Sakura got off the bus, she was still excited: "I want to ride bumper cars with Ye Huijun again next time! It was so thrilling!"

After playing a few games, it gradually got to noon.

Sakura patted her tummy and said a little shyly, "I'm a little hungry, let's go get something to eat!"

“Great! I know a really good burger place around here,” Tomoyo suggested. “It’s in the food court not far ahead. It’s highly rated. I heard their cheeseburgers are especially delicious, and their strawberry milkshakes are very popular.”

"Cheeseburger! Strawberry milkshake!" Sakura's eyes lit up instantly when she heard those two words. She grabbed Ye Hui and Tomoyo's hands and ran towards the food street. "Let's go quickly! My mouth is watering!"

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi exchanged a smile and quickly followed.

Following the location of Chiyo, they quickly found the hamburger shop.

The shop is small, but it is clean and tidy, and the air is filled with a rich aroma of cheese.

After ordering.

Three cheeseburgers, a steak, two vegetable salads, two large fries, and two strawberry milkshakes for the girl.

Ye Hui ordered an orange milkshake for himself.

They found a seat by the window, where sunlight streamed through the glass and onto the table, making it feel warm and cozy.

Not long after she sat down, Sakura's backpack moved.

Little Ke poked its head out with a tuft of hair on its head and protested in a low voice, "Hey! You guys are eating all by yourself here, and you're not going to care about me?!" Its voice was very low, as if it was afraid of being discovered by the surrounding guests.

"Who told you to be unable to see the light of day? I can't exactly let you come out and sit at the table to eat, can I?" Ye Hui casually picked up a French fry, dipped it in ketchup, and teased.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +10]

Seeing that Xiao Ke's eyes were wide open, he was about to explode.

Ye Hui then took another French fry from the plate, bent down, and stuffed it into his backpack.

The fries felt like they'd been snatched away by some kind of tentacle.

next second.

The sound of crunching and chewing came from inside the backpack.

Xiao Ke stopped nagging, quieted down, and happily munched on her fries.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +8]

"By the way, what are we going to do this afternoon?" Sakura asked vaguely after taking a big bite of her hamburger, her eyes still sparkling as she stared at the strawberry milkshake on the table, intending to eat a few sips before drinking it.

Tomoyo put down her fork, thought for a moment, and suggested with a smile, "We can go to the haunted house this afternoon. I heard from my classmates that the haunted house in this amusement park is very realistic and interesting."

"A haunted house...?" Sakura's movements froze abruptly, the fries in her hand almost falling onto the table, her smile vanishing instantly. "I...I don't really want to go there."

Although she has become less afraid of ghosts since she started collecting Clow Cards, thanks to Ye Huijun's repeated tutelage.

But the dark, eerie atmosphere of a haunted house, filled with strange noises, and the constant threat of someone jumping out to scare you, still instinctively made her resist.

Just thinking about it sent chills down her spine.

Seeing Xiaoying's forced composure but barely concealed panic, Ye Hui couldn't help but want to tease her.

He put down his orange milkshake and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Sakura? Didn't you say before that you'd collected so many Clow Cards that you weren't afraid of ghosts anymore? Why are you scared of haunted houses now?"

"I'm not scared at all!" Sakura immediately straightened her back and retorted, raising her voice a few decibels, but it sounded more like she was encouraging herself. "I love haunted houses! And I'm not scared at all!"

Ye Hui raised an eyebrow and deliberately followed her lead, saying, "That's great! We're free this afternoon, so let's go check out the haunted house."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

Hahaha~

Looking into Ye Hui's smiling eyes, Xiao Ying instantly realized she had been tricked. She glared at him resentfully, but couldn't refute him, so she could only angrily poke at the fries on her plate.

Tomoyo watched the two of them from the side, unable to help but cover her mouth and chuckle, her eyes full of amusement.

After lunch, the three rested in the shop for about ten minutes before heading towards the haunted house.

Even from a distance, you can see the haunted house's incredibly striking entrance.

The entrance was designed in the shape of a giant skull, with its eye sockets gleaming with a green eerie light and its mouth open, forming a passage leading inside. From inside, deliberately created screams could be heard from time to time, sending chills down one's spine.

Sakura stood at the entrance, looking at the hideous skull, her legs felt weak.

She gripped Tomoyo's arm tightly, her fingers turning slightly white, her body trembling slightly: "I...do we really have to go in? It sounds so scary...but also so interesting..."

“Of course, didn’t Sakura say she loves haunted houses the most?” Ye Hui turned around, still smiling, deliberately teasing her. “Besides, we’ve already come this far, and since it’s so interesting, we can’t give up halfway, right?”

Sakura: "..."

She really wanted to swallow back what she had just said!

What is she trying to prove?!
Sakura: On the verge of tears.jpg
"Let's go, it's alright, don't worry, I'm here."

Ye Hui stopped teasing her and took the lead, stepping into the skull's mouth.

Tomoyo patted Sakura's hand and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's all fake inside~ Let's go together."

Sakura took a deep breath and followed him, steeling herself.

The haunted house was pitch black, with only a few red lanterns hanging on the walls emitting a faint light, casting shadows on the surrounding props and making it appear particularly eerie.

A dilapidated coffin, tangled chains, and a crooked cross.
The somber background music echoed in my ears, interspersed with the intermittent sobs of a woman and the rattling sound of chains being dragged.

The atmosphere was created quite well, very well done.

Ye Hui and his two companions slowly walked forward along the only passage, their footsteps making a slight creaking sound on the floor, which was particularly clear in the quiet environment.

Suddenly, a coffin with its lid on next to them sprang open with a loud "bang".

A disheveled female ghost dressed in a white robe sat up from inside, stretched out her pale hand, and lunged at Sakura, who was closest to her.

"Whoa!" Sakura screamed in fright, instinctively trying to back away, but forgetting that there was a passage behind her, she turned around and jumped right into Ye Hui's arms.

Finally, she clung to Ye Hui's back, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck, her face buried in his shoulder, too afraid to open her eyes.

Ye Hui wasn't scared by the female ghost, but her sudden pounce made him sway and almost lose his balance.

He sighed helplessly, freeing one hand to support Xiaoying's leg to prevent her from falling, and said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Alright, alright, don't be afraid, it's all fake."

The staff member playing the female ghost clearly hadn't expected this situation. She paused, stood frozen in place, and even forgot to say the threatening lines she had prepared.

Ye Hui looked down at the female ghost.

Her face was covered in pale foundation, her eyes were adorned with exaggerated black smoky makeup, and her lips were painted with a deep purple-black lipstick. Paired with her long, flowing hair and white robe, she was indeed somewhat frightening.

But looking at this overly deliberate makeup, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Miss, your makeup has a great atmosphere, but the lipstick color is too dark. Next time, try a lighter shade like mauve or milk tea. It might make you look healthier and less... well, distant."

Female ghost: "..."

She stood frozen in place, the "ghost claw" in her hand suspended in mid-air.

What? She's a professional NPC who dresses up as a ghost to scare people, and today she's being teased by a primary school student carrying another primary school student?
And the way this elementary school student speaks is more like that of an experienced makeup artist?
Are all the elementary school students this energetic?

The female ghost felt that her career was facing an unprecedented challenge.

Unconvinced, she took a deep breath and let out another piercing scream, trying to save face.

However, Ye Hui was not afraid after hearing this. Instead, he nodded and commented seriously, "You have a good voice with strong penetrating power. It's a pity you didn't study soprano. You are even better than the lead singer of the choir of the high school next door."

The female ghost's lips twitched violently, feeling that she was about to lose her composure.

She silently shrank back into the coffin.

The lid was slammed shut with a "bang".

Forget it, I'm not doing this deal. Let whoever wants to scare me later, I need to calm down.

"Huh? Why did she go back?" Xiaoying, who was perched on Ye Hui's back, peeked out from behind his shoulder and looked at the tightly closed coffin.

"Perhaps my personal charm was too strong, making her feel the warmth of humanity and decide to turn over a new leaf and start anew," Ye Hui said in a serious tone, spouting nonsense.

"Pfft..." Tomoyo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Sakura doesn't seem to have any intention of coming down.

Ye Hui then carried Xiao Ying on his back and walked steadily through the dark passageway of the haunted house, completely unaffected by the eerie environment around him.

Tomoyo stood beside them, her camera steadily pointed at the two of them.

In the shot, Ye Hui's profile appears remarkably composed under the dim red light.

Sakura obediently lay on his back, occasionally peeking out.

"Ye Hui-jun, aren't you...aren't you scared?" Sakura lay on Ye Hui's back, her cheek pressed against his shoulder, and could clearly feel his steady heartbeat. Her cheeks unconsciously flushed slightly.

Fortunately, the haunted house was already filled with flashing lights and was quite dim, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Scared? Why should we be scared?" Ye Hui's voice was natural. "These are all staff members in disguise, and the props are all fake. It's not like there are Clow Cards hiding here just to scare people, is it?"

"And think about it, they have to wear such heavy makeup every day and hide in dark, cold places for long periods of time to scare people. It must be quite tiring."

"It seems...to be true." Upon hearing his words, Sakura's fear dissipated considerably, and she even began to feel a little sympathy for the staff members dressed as ghosts.

In such cold weather, wearing such thin clothes, and still having to scream at the top of one's lungs, it must have been really tough.

"Besides, look at Tomoyo, isn't she afraid at all?" Ye Hui reminded her again.

Sakura peeked out from behind Ye Hui's shoulder and looked at Tomoyo beside her.
