Anime Crossover: My Youth Begins with Charlotte

"I already knew about you and Kaguya before this, but I don't regret saying it now. I've seen that Kaguya and Miyuki Shirogane have a good relationship, so I have the courage to confess my feelings to you now. I will always be willing to wait for you. No matter what you do in the future, I will stand behind you and support you. I just hope you can give me a chance."

After saying these words, Chika looked at Xia Yan with anticipation, but a trace of guilt flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. For him, Chika was the same as Ram, and he only had the feelings of a friend. Realizing this, he pondered for a moment, and the reluctance in his eyes deepened. But at the same time, he knew very well in his heart that he had to cut the Gordian knot.

He didn't want to give Chika any hope, as that would only hurt him more. Realizing this, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and then he said to her:

"I know how you feel about me, but I can't reciprocate right now. Besides, I really only feel friendship for you. I'm really sorry, so I hope you won't bring this up again in the future. Let's just be friends."

A hint of sadness flashed in Qianhua's eyes. Although he had been prepared beforehand, he hadn't expected Xia Yan to refuse so decisively. Realizing this, he...

Chapter 444 Recovery as before

His brows furrowed more and more, and the disappointment in his eyes deepened. Xia Yan, standing to the side, felt very apologetic, but he only felt friendship towards Qian Hua.

Realizing this, the guilt in his eyes deepened. Chika, standing beside him, seemed to understand Xia Yan's feelings and chuckled softly. He was someone who could let go easily; understanding this, he nodded to Xia Yan, his smile widening, and then said to him:

"Alright, alright, you don't need to feel sorry for me. Actually, I had already thought of this outcome long ago. Besides, you know in your heart that I'm not the kind of person who holds grudges. I'm only saying this now so that I won't regret it later."

Hearing this, Xia Yan's worry lessened a bit. He was genuinely concerned because Qian Hua's actions meant they could no longer be friends. Realizing this, he sighed softly. Qian Hua, standing beside him, now understood Xia Yan's thoughts quite well.

Moreover, he wasn't lying at all; he just didn't want to regret it later. Realizing this, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, but he still understood the situation perfectly.

So after all these things were over, Chika was going out to clear her head by herself. After all, this incident had been a bit of a blow to her, and she felt a little awkward seeing Xia Yan. She needed to go out and adjust her mood. Ram, who was standing nearby, learned what had happened.

The helplessness in his eyes deepened slowly. From the very beginning, he knew that Qianhua had feelings for Xia Yan, but he never expected that the two of them would not end up together. After realizing this, he sighed softly, but he was also very worried about Qianhua's safety.

So he took the initiative to find Qianhua and planned to accompany her to relax. Qianhua naturally understood Ram's thoughts and knew that she was worried about him, but in the end he still refused. After all, in his opinion, he had to figure this out himself.

Seeing Chika's refusal, the worry in Ram's eyes slowly disappeared, but Chika, standing beside him, gave Ram a very firm look, and then said to him:

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

"Alright, alright, you don't need to worry about me saying this anymore. Don't you understand in your heart? I'm the kind of person who can take things in stride. This time, it's just because I'm not convinced. I'll go out for a walk to clear my head and I'll be fine soon. Just stay here and wait for me to come back. Don't worry, I'll bring you a gift."

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

The helplessness in Ram's eyes was slowly deepening, but he originally wanted to say a few words of advice. However, after seeing Chika's determined expression, he had no choice but to give up. This time, Chika went out to relax by herself.

He had come to understand many things, and moreover, he had now adjusted his mindset, so he immediately returned to the public eye.

Ram was naturally very happy, but Xia Yan still felt a little awkward. However, Chika was not as shy as usual this time, and treated Xia Yan as she always had. Seeing this, the worry in Xia Yan's eyes gradually lessened.

Chapter 445 Matchmaking

Xia Yan's worries have gradually lessened, because in his view, since Qian Hua returned, their relationship has remained one of friendship.

Xia Yan was very satisfied with the current situation, but when Ram saw this scene, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, because he had known for a long time that Chika liked Xia Yan.

Moreover, now that Qianhua has returned, he also wants to play matchmaker. After the two of them realized this, the light in his eyes gradually deepened, so on several occasions, he invited the two of them out in his own name.

However, it was always just the two of them playing together each time, and Ram was secretly pleased with herself. But this time, Chika had truly let go of the matter, so even when she was with Natsuhiko, she didn't feel any awkwardness. On the contrary, Natsuhiko felt awkward for a few days, but as time went by, it all passed.

Not only that, he also wanted to remain friends with Chika forever. After Ram tried to match them up several times, he realized that neither of them had any other intentions, and the helplessness in his eyes deepened as he realized this.

For Ram, he originally thought the two of them could still be together, but he didn't expect that the two of them had no interest in each other at all, so he didn't have any other intention in bringing them together. After a few attempts, he gave up.

Seeing this prospect, Chika's eyes flashed with satisfaction, because in her opinion, if Ram didn't give up, she would probably have to go find Ram herself. Meanwhile, after this matter was over, Xia Yan buried himself in his study all day, and no one knew what he was doing.

Although Chika and Ram were also very puzzled, they felt there was no danger around them, so they did not stop Xia Yan's movements.

Meanwhile, Chika wanted to host a party at his home, since he felt they were safe now. He glanced at Ram beside him and explained his thoughts. Ram's eyes lit up, and after a moment's thought, she said to Chika:

"Your idea is certainly excellent, but if we're going to hold this party, we need to make it a big one. We can't do it sneakily here. And we also need to invite Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya, otherwise we won't have any fun at all..."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Chika's eyes. After discussing it for a while, the two of them actually managed to organize a party. Not only that, but during the party, thanks to the perfect arrangements made by Ram and Chika, everyone had a great time.

Upon seeing this scene, Chika slowly revealed a wide smile. Meanwhile, Kaguya, who was standing on the other side, had already learned about Chika and Natsuhiko's relationship a few days earlier.

Although he has now let go of his feelings and his relationship with Shirogane Miyuki has always been good, he also wants Natsuhiko to have his own happiness. After realizing this, he found an opportunity to have a private chat with Chika again.

Chika glanced at Kaguya beside him, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, even though she knew that Kaguya had had some contact with Natsuhiko before.

Chapter 446 Party

He also had an unforgettable experience, but in his heart, he and Miyuki Shirogane were very happy, not to mention that he and Kaguya were friends.

Realizing this, the envy in his eyes deepened. Kaguya, standing beside him, naturally understood his thoughts, sighed softly, and then said to him:

"Let me tell you, Xia Yan is just like that. To be honest, he's completely clueless. He wants to be friends with every girl, but as the saying goes, 'a woman pursuing a man is like piercing a thin veil.' So if you like her, you really should try to pursue her again. That way, you won't regret it. But the thing I want to know most right now is whether you still like her or not?"

After saying these words, Kaguya looked at Chika with a serious expression. Chika's brows furrowed more and more, but he could not hide his thoughts now, so he could only nod to Kaguya.

Kaguya showed no shock, having experienced something similar herself. Seeing this, she sighed, walked to Chika's side, patted him on the shoulder, and then said:

"Isn't that easy? Since you like him, you can't give up. Besides, he's a boy. If he says he doesn't like you, he just doesn't like you. As long as you keep making your presence felt for him every day, you won't have to worry about him not liking you. And you're so beautiful and intelligent. If he doesn't like you, is he blind?"

Chika, standing to the side, also showed a hint of shock in her eyes. She never expected Kaguya to say such a thing to her now. However, when she thought about some things that had happened before, the hesitation in her eyes gradually deepened. After seeing this, Kaguya sighed, but still encouraged Chika to pursue Natsuhiko.

Because in his view, the opportunity only comes once. If he doesn't act now, someone else will definitely choose him later, and he will be the one who suffers then. Meanwhile, Chika, who was standing to the side, thought about being rejected, sighed softly, and then said to Kaguya in front of her in a very serious tone:

"Although I still like him, I know what I should do now. After my last trip to clear my head, I've understood a lot of things, so I don't want to think about this right now. Besides, I've realized that being friends with Xia Yan is the safest distance. Let's talk about the future later. Anyway, he's not possessed by anyone right now, is he?"

After saying these words, a bitter smile slowly appeared on Chika's lips, while Kaguya's eyes flashed with a hint of heartache. Once upon a time, he was just like Chika in front of him.

Realizing this, he sighed softly, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes, because in his opinion, Chika was indeed a good girl, and it would be a real pity if Xia Yan didn't cherish her.

However, he also understood very well that love is like drinking your own water—only you know whether it's hot or cold—so he had no room to interrupt.

Although he felt a deep sense of regret, seeing Chika's resolute expression, he sighed softly and said nothing more.

Chapter 447 Farewell

Kaguya felt a deep regret, seeing how perfectly matched Chika and Natsuhiko were, especially since Chika harbored feelings for Natsuhiko. Realizing this, she sighed softly. Natsuhiko, standing beside her, naturally understood Kaguya's thoughts, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He then said to Kaguya:

"Oh, I'm telling you, don't worry about this anymore. Just tell me. I think it's good to be friends with Xia Yan right now. This distance between us is probably the best distance we can maintain, so don't worry about it too much."

"Besides, I really don't want to discuss this right now, so you should just enjoy yourself at the party. If you bring this up again, I really won't invite you next time."

Kaguya's helplessness deepened, but he knew perfectly well that this matter couldn't be rushed. Besides, Chika still had feelings for Natsuhiko, and as long as those feelings remained, time wouldn't matter. Realizing this, although his eyes showed regret, a smile slowly appeared on his lips. He then turned to Chika beside him and said:

"Oh, alright, alright, what are you shy about? Besides, I'm not going to talk about it anymore, okay? You can think about it yourself~"

Chika's doubts deepened. They chatted about other things, and everyone had a great time at the banquet. Chika and Ram were very satisfied with the scene. However, Xia Yan decided to go out alone after the party.

Chika and Ram were shocked upon hearing the news. Although they had somewhat anticipated that Xia Yan had been confined to his study for the past few days, presumably preparing for something important, they never expected him to go out alone. They knew the outside world was fraught with danger. Realizing this, Chika looked at Xia Yan with a serious expression and then said to him:

"Have you really thought this through? You know there are great dangers out there. Besides, you haven't thought this through properly. If you encounter any danger outside, we won't be able to save you here."

Hearing this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. He had already prepared himself for this; he knew that if he brought it up, it would definitely provoke their disapproval. However, he had important business to attend to this time. Realizing this, a determined glint appeared in his eyes, and he glanced intently at Qianhua and Ram beside him, saying:

"Alright, I know you're worried about me, but you're worried that I'm going out. Besides, I've already made preparations. No matter what dangers are outside, it's impossible for me to go. So don't worry about me. You just need to take good care of yourselves at home."

Chika and Ram's brows furrowed deeper and deeper; they were genuinely worried. However, Xia Yan insisted, and in the end, they couldn't persuade him otherwise and had to agree. Every time I speak while looking into my eyes, they fall out.

Chapter 448 Friends Gathering

Xia Yan's smile deepened, but he assured them that he would not get hurt this time. The two didn't insist and sent Xia Yan away. After leaving, they went straight to his old friend.

Actually, his solo trip this time was just to see the outside world. Besides, he had been held back by various things in the past few times. Moreover, Chika had just returned, although they had already returned to being friends before.

However, he always felt a little awkward whenever he saw Chika, so this time he would go out alone. Therefore, Xia Yan was very happy to see his good friend, as they had not seen each other for a long time.

Xia Yan's good friend was naturally very happy to see this scene. He went up and patted Xia Yan on the shoulder, then said to him:

“I said I haven’t seen you for so long. Where have you been making your fortune all this time? Besides, how long has it been since we last met? Instead of contacting each other, you suddenly want to meet me and even come to the place I’ve been to. You really gave me a big surprise.”

After hearing these words, Xia Yan's smile gradually widened. During this time of gathering with her friend, the little beauty really relaxed herself. However, Xia Yan soon noticed that her friend seemed to have something on her mind while they were having dinner.

After reaching this point, Xia Yan frowned slightly, then glanced at his friend and said to him:

"I'm telling you, you're being a bit unfair. I've come all this way to find you, and you're still spacing out with me. Tell me, what's wrong with you lately that's bothering you so much? Being with me can't make you happy at all."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan's good friend frowned sharply, but in his opinion, Xia Yan shouldn't know about this at all. Realizing this, he slowly took a breath, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but he still pretended nothing was wrong and said to Xia Yan:

"Oh dear, you're being too suspicious. What could possibly be wrong with me? Besides, if I have any troubles, it's because of you. I haven't seen you in so long, and I have to treat you to a meal as soon as I see you. You know I'm short on money lately, so why don't you treat me to this meal?"

After realizing that his explanation was merely a temporary setback, Xia Yan sighed softly, looked very seriously at his good friend, and then said to him again:

"Alright, alright, what are you pretending for? Even though we haven't seen each other for a long time, I still know your little habits. You're definitely not telling me the truth right now. Besides, I really can't think of anything that could be bothering you. You usually don't put your heart into anything, so just tell me already, stop beating around the bush."

Xia Yan's friend's brows furrowed more and more, but he still showed no sign of backing down.

Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, was very puzzled after seeing this scene. He knew his good friend very well before, and he was definitely not the kind of person who could keep things to himself.

Chapter 449 Going to Western Sichuan

Seeing this scene, Xia Yan's confusion deepened. He knew that his friend used to be very open and honest with him, but now it seemed that his friend had his own worries.

Realizing this, Xia Yan sighed softly. At the same time, Xia Yan's friend, who was standing to the side, also had a hint of helplessness in his eyes when he saw this scene, because for him, this matter was also quite dangerous.

Moreover, the more people who know about this, the greater the danger. Realizing this, the helplessness in his eyes deepened, and he directly said to Xia Yan beside him:

"Alright, alright, stop asking. You've come all this way to see me, why are you asking me these questions instead of having a proper chat? Besides, don't you understand me? If it's something really important, I would tell you without you having to."

After saying these words, he immediately changed his expression and said some other things to Xia Yan. Seeing this, the helplessness in Xia Yan's eyes gradually deepened. However, since his friend didn't want to talk, he didn't force him. It was only during the subsequent conversation that Xia Yan learned that his good friend planned to go to western Sichuan.

However, upon learning about this place, Xia Yan became even more curious. He really didn't understand what was so great about western Sichuan, or why he should go there. Moreover, Xia Yan had heard a rumor before.

Realizing this, Xia Yan's brows furrowed even more. However, he was now extremely curious. So, after saying goodbye to his friend, he secretly followed him and discovered that his friend had indeed rented a car.

Xia Yan was secretly following behind, naturally not wanting his good friend to find out, but he still followed behind his good friend. His good friend did not expect that Xia Yan would actually follow him.

In his opinion, Xia Yan usually lived in a big city and wouldn't follow him to such a small place. However, Xia Yan kept following his good friend. Moreover, after entering western Sichuan, he found that his good friend had met quite a few other friends.

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

Moreover, those friends were all very familiar to him. Upon realizing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. He was really curious about his friend. Had he been to Western Sichuan before?

Although the area of ​​western Sichuan is very large, it is sparsely populated and rarely visited by people. Moreover, Xia Yan's car has been following his friend ever since he arrived in this place.

...... ....... 0

Xia Yan was unfamiliar with the area and was afraid that he might offend others if he wandered around aimlessly. Realizing this, the helplessness in Xia Yan's eyes gradually deepened.

He only came along with his friend on a whim, but now he finds that he seems to understand his good friend less and less.

Realizing this, he sighed softly, the helplessness in his eyes deepening. However, because the original machine was still there, and Xia Yan's car had been following his good friend, he was eventually discovered by his friend.

Chapter 450 Discovered

That day, when Xia Yan got out of the car, he suddenly couldn't see his best friend's car. Realizing this, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that although this place was remote, every place had its own rules.

If he were to offend them by accident, they might very well die without a burial place. Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a series of footsteps behind him. Realizing this, Xia Yan looked back and saw his good friend standing behind him.

In fact, his good friend was very vigilant when he discovered that someone was following him. He originally thought that he had been watched since he entered western Sichuan, but he did not expect that he would find out that it was Xia Yan.

He was quite shocked at the time, wondering why Xia Yan would follow him. However, he and Xia Yan were good friends, and after having some doubts, he immediately put his worries aside. Besides, he knew that Xia Yan was very unfamiliar with this place.

Moreover, he had already discovered it, and Xia Yan didn't intend to hide it. He went straight to Xia Yan's side. A hint of evasion flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. After all, he had secretly followed him here. His friend, who was standing to the side, seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He sighed softly, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and then said to him:
