Anime Crossover: My Youth Begins with Charlotte

Xia Yan's confusion deepened; he didn't understand what his friend meant. His friend, of course, understood his thoughts, sighed softly, and then said to him:

"Let me tell you, there used to be a legend in this valley that two groups of people entered it in search of treasure. But no one knows if they found the treasure or not. Neither group came out. A few years later, people were seen coming out of the valley. Other witnesses recognized them as the people from the two groups that had entered."

Xia Yan frowned deeply, then glanced at his best friend. But before he could ask anything, he heard his friend say to him again:

"Of course, if that were all, we wouldn't need to leave. It's just that the people who came out were completely mentally unstable. At first, some people speculated that it might be because they had stayed in the valley for too long and had no contact with human society. But later, when people occasionally entered that valley, they would find that they were not normal."

After saying this, Xia Yan's friend's expression turned serious. Xia Yan, standing to the side, frowned slightly, a strange glint flashing in his eyes. However, Xia Yan genuinely believed it was just others overthinking things. Realizing this, he sighed softly and then spoke again to his friend:

"...Could this be some kind of accident? Besides, what are the chances of such a coincidence? I think people are just overthinking it, and don't you know that rumors can spread like wildfire?"

And don't you know that rumors can spread like wildfire?

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan's good friend frowned even more deeply. However, for him, this matter was definitely not as simple as others imagined. Realizing this, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes once more. He glanced at Xia Yan beside him and then said:

"Let me tell you, you have to take this matter seriously. Besides, there's solid evidence. Whether you believe it or not, we have to go back now. Only after we go back will we be safe."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, but after seeing his friend's resolute expression, he understood.

Chapter 458 Return Home

He didn't know how to persuade his friend anymore. Realizing this, he sighed softly and stopped trying to convince him. He then followed his friend on the way home.

His good friend's eyes flashed with satisfaction after seeing this scene, because he knew very well Xia Yan's determination. If Xia Yan was determined not to leave this place, there was nothing he could do.

Realizing this, the relief in his eyes gradually deepened, and they did not linger there for 673 minutes, but hurriedly embarked on their journey home.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Chika and Ram hadn't contacted Xia Yan for a long time and were quite worried. Chika glanced at Ram beside her, sighed softly, and then said to him:

“I think we should call Xia Yan. Even if he doesn’t call us, we should still think about him. Besides, we’re all worried about him anyway, so we might as well call and find out what’s going on.”

Upon hearing these words, a hint of agreement flashed in Ram's eyes. She then hurriedly nodded to Chika beside her. They didn't have time to team up anymore and quickly called Natsuhiko.

After receiving the call, Xia Yan only offered a few simple greetings, but then he immediately told Chika and Ram about what had happened. Chika and Ram were extremely nervous upon hearing this, because they had been very worried about Xia Yan when he left home alone before.

Moreover, in their view, although most other matters had been resolved, there was still a possibility that others might be eyeing them. Therefore, they had previously opposed Xia Yan leaving home alone. So, upon hearing this, Qianhua, who was standing nearby, hurriedly said to Xia Yan:

"Oh my god, how could this happen? Since this has happened, you shouldn't stay there. Come back quickly, it's dangerous for all of us."

Xia Yan frowned slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He had anticipated that Qianhua and Ram would be very worried upon hearing this, but he hadn't expected them to be so anxious. Realizing this, he sighed softly and then continued:

"Alright, alright, you two don't need to overthink it. I'm fine now, aren't I? Besides, the reason I told you this was to prevent you from finding out about it from other people, which would only make you more worried. And I'm fine now, on my way home with my best friend. Just wait for me at home."

Chika and Ram, who were standing to the side, were very worried after hearing these words. However, when they heard that Xia Yan had returned, their worries gradually lessened, but they were still very nervous. Xia Yan naturally knew how they felt, so he sighed softly and then comforted them.

Qianhua and Ram didn't want Xia Yan to worry, so after Xia Yan comforted them for a few words and gave them some more instructions, they hung up the phone.

Chapter 459 Worry

After finishing his phone call with Chika and Ram, a hint of helplessness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. Although he was well aware that what he had just told Chika and Ram had indeed frightened them.

Realizing this, he sighed softly. Xia Yan's good friend glanced at Xia Yan, then patted him on the shoulder and said jokingly:

"You're something else, kid. I didn't expect you to have a girlfriend after all this time."

After saying these words, a bright light flashed in Xia Yan's best friend's eyes. Actually, he was just joking with Xia Yan, because when he heard Xia Yan on the phone just now, he only vaguely heard a girl's voice.

Moreover, the girl's voice was very urgent. After seeing Xia Yan's expression, a gossipy glint flashed in his eyes. Xia Yan, standing to the side, rolled his eyes at him and then said:

“I told you to stop calling me. Besides, we’re about to go back now. If we don’t get home soon, my two family members will come looking for you, and they might really make things difficult for you.”

A look of shock flashed in Xia Yan's good friend's eyes. He didn't know what Xia Yan meant, but just as he was about to ask, he saw Xia Yan walk straight ahead.

He naturally quickened his pace to catch up, and the two of them bickered and joked all the way back to Xia Yan's original residence. Fortunately, they did not encounter any danger along the way.

Xia Yan's good friend also brought Xia Yan back safely. When he saw Qian Hua and Ram, the shock in his eyes gradually deepened. He originally thought that one of them was Xia Yan's girlfriend, but unexpectedly, according to Xia Yan's words, they were just ordinary friends.

However, Xia Yan's good friend was also a sensible person. He glanced at Qian Hua and knew that Qian Hua's feelings were definitely different from those of Ram. After realizing this, he sighed softly, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He and Xia Yan had been friends for a long time, and he was well aware of Xia Yan's emotional problems. So when he glanced at Qian Hua beside him, a hint of sympathy flashed in his eyes.

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········

Chika naturally noticed the look in Xia Yan's best friend's eyes. His brow furrowed slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. But before he could speak, he heard Xia Yan say to his friend:

...... ....... ...

“I’m telling you, don’t go back. You’ve come all this way to visit me, so why don’t you stay here for a few days? You don’t have anything else to do back home, do you?”

A flicker of hesitation crossed Xia Yan's friend's eyes. It wasn't that he didn't want to stay here, but he really felt awkward in front of two girls. Xia Yan, naturally noticing her thoughts, then quickly said to her:

"Alright, alright, don't overthink it. Besides, I already told you, they're just my ordinary friends who are staying here temporarily. So just stay here with us and keep us company. The four of us can have fun playing games together."

After saying these words, Xia Yan looked at his good friend Fan with a sincere expression.

Chapter 460 Asking

He genuinely wanted his best friend to stay, because he had already told Chika and Ram about this beforehand. He knew that if his friend left, Chika and Ram would definitely keep him at home and prevent him from leaving.

With his good friend acting as a shield, his situation would be a little better. Seeing this, his friend felt embarrassed to refuse and nodded to Xia Yan.

Chika and Ram, who were standing next to "673", frowned slightly when they saw this scene. They did have many questions for Xia Yan, but after all, Xia Yan's good friend was also a guest.

They exchanged a glance, a strange glint in their eyes. But at the same time, they found their opportunity, trapping Xia Yan inside a room. Seeing this, Xia Yan's brows furrowed even more, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. But Qianhua had no intention of letting him off so easily; instead, she continued to question him.

"Stop pretending to be deaf and dumb here! Tell me right now what happened. Besides, you didn't tell us where you went when you left. Now that something so serious has happened, you still won't tell us. What do you want?"

After saying these words, Qianhua's expression turned serious. Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, naturally understood his thoughts. He sighed softly, then casually waved his hand and said to him:

"Oh dear, oh dear, didn't I already tell you before that nothing was wrong? Besides, if anything had happened, I wouldn't be back safe and sound by now, so don't worry. Plus, my good friend is here, can't you give me a little face?"

Chika's brows furrowed more and more tightly, but Xia Yan took advantage of Chika's inattention and slipped out from the other side. Seeing this, a hint of difficulty flashed in Chika's eyes, but he asked Xia Yan several times afterward, but never got any other results.

However, Chika and Ram are now even more worried. Although they believe Xia Yan has returned safely, what if someone is secretly monitoring them? What if someone is looking for an opportunity?

Realizing this, they exchanged glances, then discussed it briefly, deciding to ask Xia Yan's good friend. After all, in their view, Xia Yan's arrival at that place was also due to his good friend...

So Chika and Ram didn't waste any more time and hurriedly came to Xia Yan's good friend. When his friend saw this scene, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes. Although he had been staying here for a few days, he was not very familiar with these two people.

Chika, standing to the side, naturally understood his thoughts. She sighed softly, then quickly poured him a cup of coffee, placed it on his table, and said to him:

"You're Xia Yan's good friend, so if we're going to be friends, then we're friends too. Since we're friends, may I ask you something?"

Upon hearing these words, a strange glint flashed in the friend's eyes, and then he glanced at Qianhua, but his expression remained completely calm.

Chapter 461 Curiosity

Seeing this, Chika naturally understood what Xia Yan's friend was thinking. Realizing this, her expression became even more sincere, and without waiting for Xia Yan's friend to refuse, she immediately said to him:

"We're friends, after all, and you can understand what we're thinking, right? We're really worried about Xia Yan. He usually doesn't tell us what he's doing, so if there's any danger, we won't know. That's why we wanted to ask you about 04 this time."

Upon hearing this, Ram, who was standing nearby, quickly chimed in:

"Yeah, yeah, aren't you his good friend? Besides, you wouldn't just leave us hanging, would you?"

After saying this, Chika and Ram looked pitifully at their friend, whose helplessness deepened. He knew this was a secret to him, and realizing this, he sighed softly and said:

"Oh, it's really nothing. It's just that you girls are worrying too much. As I said before, if there were any real danger, Xia Yan and I wouldn't have come back safely either. So you two shouldn't overthink it."

After hearing this, Ram and Chika exchanged glances, their brows furrowing slightly. They then asked their friend a question, but he gave them only vague answers.

They felt quite helpless, but their friend didn't stay there for long, as he had important things to do. When Xia Yan saw this, he wanted him to stay a few more days.

However, his friend was very insistent, and seeing this, Xia Yan did not try to stop him. Ram and Chika, who were standing to the side, felt very guilty after seeing this, because they had been asking their friend about Xia Yan's previous matter.

They were also worried about Xia Yan's good friend. It was because of their constant inquiries that they wanted to leave. The friend, before leaving, naturally understood their thoughts, sighed, and then said to them:

"Oh, don't worry, I definitely won't leave because of that. I just really have my own things to do. If I have time in the future, I'll come and visit you guys again. After all, you two are quite interesting."

A smile slowly crept onto Chika and Ram's lips, and then they nodded to their friend before them, and that was how they parted ways.

At first, Xia Yan didn't take his friend's departure to heart. However, on one occasion when he attended a friend's gathering, he unintentionally learned that his friend had gone to that place in western Sichuan.

When Xia Yan heard about this, he was also very curious. Although when he went to that place in western Sichuan, he always felt that there was a series of things in the valley there, not to mention that his good friend had acted too strangely at the time.

However, when his good friend hurriedly brought him out, he did not suspect anything in his heart. But what he did not expect was that after parting ways with his friend this time, his friend actually went to western Sichuan.

Xia Yan's curiosity was also slowly deepening.

Chapter 462 Worry

Although Xia Yan was also eager to know what was in that valley in western Sichuan, he was unwilling to get involved this time.

After all, he believed that his good friend must have his own reasons for going there, but Xia Yan really didn't belong there, and before this, he hadn't learned about the situation in western Sichuan. Moreover, if he went there again, Qianhua and Ram would definitely worry themselves sick.

Realizing this, he sighed. There was another important thing: Xia Yan had been in contact with his good friends these past few days, and they hadn't lost touch. So he was quite relieved about Xia Yan. But what he didn't expect was that these peaceful days didn't last long.

Soon Xia Yan lost contact with his best friend. At first, Xia Yan thought something had happened and that things would be fine in a couple of days. But to his surprise, after a few days, there was still no news from his best friend. Realizing this, a trace of worry flashed in Xiang Lai's eyes.

Moreover, Xia Yan considered this his best friend, so in order to find his best friend's whereabouts, he also looked for some of his best friend's usual friends, but he did not get the clues he needed. Just when Xia Yan was disappointed, he finally found someone else's contact information.

Upon seeing Xia Yan, the man frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. However, Xia Yan had no time for beating around the bush and went straight to the point:

"I think you're quite close to him, so you probably already know a lot about him, right? Besides, I haven't been able to contact him for several days. All I know is that he went to western Sichuan. Do you even know what happened?"

The man frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. But he could now see that Xia Yan genuinely cared about that person. Realizing this, he sighed softly and then continued:

"Since you already know about that place in western Sichuan, it seems he hasn't been hiding anything from you. In that case, I won't hide anything from you either. Let me tell you, you don't need to worry at all, because it's the same every year; he'll come back when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. However, Xia Yan knew that this was not something he could interfere with, especially since his good friend had his own life to live. Realizing this, Xia Yan felt relieved. After chatting with the person in front of him about other things, he returned to his residence.

Meanwhile, Chika and Ram also learned that Xia Yan's friend had gone missing, and a hint of worry flashed in their eyes after realizing this.

Moreover, they knew that Xia Yan had also gone to that place before, and they were worried that Xia Yan might be in danger. So when they saw Xia Yan, they immediately asked him:

"~What exactly happened? Why did he go missing? Did something else happen? Have you investigated?"

Xia Yan frowned slightly, but he was still unsure of the true situation.

Chapter 463 Reassurance

Seeing this, Chika and Ram's worries deepened. After all, it seemed that Xia Yan's friend had lost contact with him for quite some time. Realizing this, they glanced at Xia Yan and then asked him:

"Tell us quickly, what exactly happened? Besides, keeping it from us isn't a long-term solution. Only by knowing the whole story can we better handle this matter."

Xia Yan, standing to the side, naturally understood his thoughts, but he himself didn't understand what had happened. Realizing this, he sighed softly, then turned to Qian Hua and Ram beside him and said:

"Hey, you two, don't be so anxious here, okay? I really don't know what happened either. And let me tell you, I've investigated this matter, but I haven't found any new clues. Don't worry, I'm still confident in my own judgment."

After saying these words, Xia Yan's brows furrowed more and more. Qian Hua, who was standing to the side, knew very well that if he continued to ask questions, Xia Yan would definitely become impatient and start avoiding them more and more.

However, he was also very worried. After realizing this, he sighed. Xia Yan, who was standing next to him, naturally understood their thoughts and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Although Xia Yan was perfectly clear in his heart that the two people in front of him meant well, their relationship was just too restrictive. Realizing this, he frowned slightly, and then continued:

"Alright, alright, you two don't need to worry at all. Besides, I know very well what I'm doing. (aeej) Although I'm curious about this matter, I assure you I will absolutely not get involved."

Qianhua and Ram exchanged a glance, their worries gradually lessening. They knew perfectly well that Xia Yan had already made a promise to them, so he would definitely not act impulsively again.
