Anime Crossover: My Youth Begins with Charlotte

“We’ve already worked together before, and our relationship should have progressed further. You don’t trust me, do you? So I want to know what’s going on here, and what you’re after these things for.”

Upon hearing this, Master Long frowned slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. He knew he couldn't let Xia Yan know why he had taken this item, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

But seeing Xia Yan's questioning gaze, he knew that if he didn't tell Xia Yan, he definitely wouldn't let it go. Realizing this, he sighed softly and then said to him:

"Oh dear, don't worry about this for now, Fan."

Chapter 255 Prevarication

He paused for a moment, seemingly remembering something, and then continued, "Besides, you know this thing is extremely harmful to the human body. Of course, I can't let it leak out. It's safest in my hands. Do you really think it's safest in yours?"

Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. He had to admit that what Master Long said made sense, but he still felt that Master Long was just "520" trying to appease him.

But just as Xia Yan was about to ask again, he heard Master Long say to him once more:

"Alright, don't worry about it anymore. Anyway, this thing has already been taken out of Kaguya's body, and she doesn't have it with her anymore. Besides, what does it matter where it is now? Furthermore, you've been busy lately and probably haven't had time to investigate this matter. Now that this thing is in my hands, and I have a team, it's the most suitable thing for you. Don't think about this matter anymore."

Xia Yan now knew perfectly well that Master Long was just stalling him. Realizing this, a strange glint flashed in his eyes, and his heart was filled with doubt. He didn't understand why Qianhua was so persistent about this matter and why she wouldn't tell him the whole story.

However, he also knew that he wouldn't be able to get any other questions from Master Long, and upon realizing this, his brows furrowed tightly.

Master Long, who was standing to the side, also saw through Xia Yan's thoughts, but he didn't want Xia Yan to press him any further. Realizing this, Master Long said to Xia Yan again:

"Alright, now that you've handed this over to me, don't overthink it. Besides, I feel you should focus your attention on other things right now. Go back and get some rest."

After saying this, Master Long patted Xia Yan on the shoulder again, then turned to the person next to him and said:

"Xia Yan's trip here was not easy. You should personally escort him back. Remember to take him to his doorstep, or you know what will happen when he comes back."

Upon hearing these words, a flicker of panic crossed the eyes of those around Master Long, who quickly nodded to him. Master Long then specifically sent someone to escort Xia Yan back...

However, this matter has always troubled Xia Yan. He can never understand why Master Long wants that thing and what kind of research he wants to conduct on him. Moreover, although they cooperated last time, he still has some doubts about Master Long.

Realizing this, Xia Yan frowned deeply, and his whole demeanor was off after he returned. Qian Hua and Ram also noticed Xia Yan's condition; he sat listlessly in his chair, seemingly without energy. They didn't know why Xia Yan was acting so strangely after meeting with Master Long.

The two were also very worried, because they had no idea what had happened or why this situation had occurred. Qianhua, who was standing to the side, frowned deeply after seeing this scene. She also wanted to know the ins and outs of this matter.

However, he was also very clear in his heart that the only person he could ask now was Xia Yan. He couldn't ask Master Long, because in his mind, Master Long was not a trustworthy person.

Chapter 256 Not in Condition

After realizing this, Chika kept looking for an opportunity to ask Natsuhiko what the ins and outs of this matter were.

However, Xia Yan has been out of sorts these past few days, barely responding to Qian Hua and Ram. Realizing this, the two of them are increasingly worried.

So on this day, Chika finally found an opportunity, walked up to Xia Yan, looked at him with a worried expression, and said:

"Hey, what's been going on with you these past few days? Ever since you came back from Master Long's place, you've been acting more and more strangely. Is there something important that you haven't told us?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan frowned slightly, because for the past few days he had been thinking about why Master Long wanted Kaguya to take that thing out of her body, and more importantly, what exactly did Master Long want that thing for?

However, he had been racking his brains for the past few days but still couldn't find any clues. After realizing this, his brows furrowed more and more. Seeing this, Qianhua's doubts also deepened. She really couldn't remember what important thing had happened to turn Xia Yan into this state.

So Chika gently patted Natsuhiko's shoulder, and then asked him again:

"Has something important happened to you? Tell us so we can help you analyze it."

After hearing these words, Xia Yan slowly came to his senses. He glanced at Qian Hua, sighed softly, and then told Qian Hua everything about his meeting with Master Long.

After explaining the whole story to Chika, a hint of worry flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, and he softly said to Chika:

“Actually, I’m very worried right now. What exactly does Master Long want those things for? You know those things are very harmful to the body. If they were to leak out, it would definitely cause great danger. But I still can’t figure out why Master Long would do this. So I’ve been very troubled by this matter these past few days.”

Upon hearing these words, Qianhua frowned slightly. After learning the whole story, he gradually felt that something was amiss, but now he understood even more clearly that Master Long was not a good person.

Even though they had worked with Master Long before, and he knew that Master Long had always been in contact with the organization, the fact that they were still able to ruthlessly eliminate the organization proves that he was not a good person at all.

Even though he has shown great concern for them now, and even though he cooperated with 520 and the others to protect them, and even sent his own people to help them, in Qianhua's eyes, I have never been a good person in his heart.

Realizing this, Qianhua frowned even more deeply. He just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. After realizing this, he sighed softly. However, he also knew that since Lord Long had already intervened in this matter, there was no possibility for them to intervene as well.

Realizing this, Chika glanced at Natsuhiko, who was looking very troubled, and sighed softly, wondering what had happened.

Chapter 257 Persuasion

However, Qianhua was now quite clear in her heart that Master Long was not a good person, and it was best to avoid dealing with him as much as possible. Realizing this, she sighed softly, glanced at Xia Yan, and then said to him:

"I think you know that although Master Long cooperated with us last time, he also deals with people from the organization. You know what kind of people the organization is. Master Long was able to make up his mind to wipe out all of them, which shows how ruthless he is. So we should try to deal with him as much as possible in the future, after all, he is not a good person."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan frowned slightly. Although he was well aware that Qian Hua's words were not wrong, he was still very curious about what Long Ye wanted to do with the dangerous item that he had taken out of Kaguya's body.

Realizing this, Xia Yan frowned deeply. Qian Hua, who was standing to the side, had a hint of worry in her eyes. She was really afraid that Xia Yan might do something wrong because of a momentary impulse.

Realizing this, Chika's worry deepened, but at the same time he knew that Xia Yan was no longer listening to his advice. With that in mind, he sighed softly, patted Xia Yan on the shoulder, and left.

However, Chika did not give up on this matter. When she went to the hospital to visit Kaguya the next day, Chika also saw Ram. So Chika did not hesitate and went directly to Ram.

A hint of confusion flashed in Ram's eyes, but then he saw Chika looking at him very seriously and saying:

“Xia Yan has been acting a little strange lately. I asked him about it and found out it’s related to Master Long. You know Master Long isn’t a good person. If we let Xia Yan keep coming into contact with him like this, I’m afraid something really bad might happen in the future. What do you think we should do now?”

Upon hearing these words, Ram frowned deeply, but he wholeheartedly agreed with what Qianhua had just said; Xia Yan was indeed not a good person.

Realizing this, he sighed softly, then pondered for a moment before saying to Chika:

"There's no good solution right now. You know Xia Yan's temper. If you keep refusing him, he'll definitely do the opposite. In that case, we might as well keep an eye on him for a while to prevent him from doing anything wrong."

Upon hearing this, a hint of agreement flashed in Chika's eyes, because he thought the same thing when he was with her. However, if the two of them decided to keep an eye on Xia Yan during this period, they should definitely stay close to him.

Realizing this, a hint of worry flashed in their eyes, because they were indeed quite far from Xia Yan's house.

　A glint of light flashed in Qianhua's eyes. She glanced at Ram and then said to him:

"Since we've decided to keep an eye on Xia Yan for a while to prevent him from doing anything wrong, why don't we just move into his house? That way, we can keep an eye on him all the time, and if he does anything wrong, we can stop him in time."

Realizing this, Ram nodded to Chika.

Chapter 258 Worry

The next day, the two of them went to Xia Yan's house with their things. Upon seeing the scene, Xia Yan's eyes flashed with shock, and then she looked at them with great confusion. The two of them said:

"What are you two doing? Are you moving? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Why should I notify you? We don't have much stuff, and we're just staying here for a few days. Aren't you happy to see us?"

After hearing Chika's other words, Xia Yan's confusion deepened. He knew very well that Chika and Ram had their own place to live, so why would they come to his house for no reason?

520 Ram, standing to the side, naturally saw through Xia Yan's thoughts. She sighed softly, then pretended to be aggrieved and said to Xia Yan:

"Actually, neither of us wanted to move into your house. What if the three of us, a lone man and a lone woman, caused misunderstandings? But recently our ceiling suddenly started leaking, and the whole house got wet, so we two girls are too scared to stay there. We asked around and found that your place is the only one with enough space, so we're staying here for a few days."

After saying this, Ram looked at Xia Yan expectantly, and then said to him again:

"Besides, we're all such good friends, I'm sure you won't refuse us. We can even cook for you here. If all else fails, we can pay your rent, as long as you don't refuse us."

Upon hearing these words, a strange glint flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. He looked Qianhua and Ram up and down, but Qianhua and Ram remained completely calm, tidying up their things, so Xia Yan couldn't discern any other intentions.

However, at the same time, Xia Yan was also very clear in his heart that Chika and Ram must have come here because they were worried about him because of what happened to him before.

Realizing this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. Although he felt that he hadn't done anything outrageous recently, in the eyes of Chika and Ram, he had indeed gone a bit too far.

He sighed softly, but even now Xia Yan knew what Qianhua and Ram were thinking. However, to put their minds at ease, he pretended not to know anything.

So he pretended to look at Chika and Ram with feigned helplessness and said to them:

"You two are a no-go. If you two can cook, then pigs will be able to climb trees. If you two come to my house, I'll be the one serving you. If that's the case, you might as well just pay me the rent."

Upon hearing this, a flash of dissatisfaction crossed both of their eyes. What did they mean by saying they couldn't cook? They would show Xia Yan how delicious their cooking was.

Realizing this, the two of them rolled their eyes at Xia Yan without prior agreement. A smile slowly appeared on Xia Yan's lips. In fact, he quite liked the way the group of them got along.

So he had no choice but to say to Chika and Ram:

"Alright, alright, since no one else will take you in, and you have nowhere else to go, why don't you stay with me? But we need to agree on three rules beforehand: you must treat me with respect."

Chapter 259 Misunderstanding

"And once your house is finished, move out as soon as possible. I don't want to see you for even a day longer."

After hearing these words, Chika and Ram exchanged a glance, and a smile slowly appeared on their lips. They knew that Xia Yan would definitely agree.

So the group started living together happily, and at the same time, the news spread. The others were shocked by this, because they knew that Chika, Ram, and Natsuhiko had a good relationship, but they never expected that the three of them were that close.

However, their explanation to the outside world was simply that Chika and Ram's house was broken, so they were temporarily staying at Natsuhiko's house. The others didn't think much of it, but Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing to the side, thought too much about it.

Shirogane Miyuki hadn't actually realized that Natsuhiko had been acting strangely these past few days. He just felt that it might be because Chika and Ram liked Natsuhiko, which was why he was doing this. So when he saw Natsuhiko again, Shirogane Miyuki gave him a smile.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yan was very puzzled, because Shirogane Yuuki usually didn't smile at him when he met him, and sometimes he would even make sarcastic remarks. But he didn't expect that this time he would actually greet him with a smile.

Actually, Shirogane Miyuki was quite happy right now. In his mind, as long as Natsuhiko had someone he liked, he wouldn't compete with him for Kaguya anymore. Kaguya would give up on that idea, and his chances of winning would be much greater. So, he was very supportive of Natsuhiko and Ramu Chika living together.

So when he saw Xia Yan's figure, he simply patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Wow, brother, I didn't realize that. I always thought you and Qianhua Ram were just buddies. I didn't expect them to move into your house. You're really something."

Xia Yan frowned slightly, then glanced at Shirogane Miyuki's expression and knew he had misunderstood. He sighed softly and said to him:

"What are you thinking? There's nothing more to the three of us than friends. And don't you know? They moved into my house because their houses were in disrepair. We're just friends. Your mind is really dirty."

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

Hearing this, Shirogane Miyuki didn't take it seriously, because in his view, Xia Yan was just covering up the truth. His smile deepened as he continued speaking to Xia Yan:

"I said, we're such good friends, and you're still keeping it from me. Even if I told you before that I like Kaguya, you can't treat me like this. Didn't you tell me? You treat Kaguya as a friend, but how do you treat Chika and Ram? I think those two like you. You can't always make the girls take the initiative."

..... .. ...

Hearing these words, Xia Yan's helplessness deepened. He really hadn't expected Shirogane Miyuki to have such a rich imagination.

However, he was too lazy to explain now, because in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes, an explanation was just a cover-up, and a cover-up was the truth. After seeing this scene, Shirogane Miyuki thought that Xia Yan had agreed, and the smile on his face was slowly deepening.

So the next time Shirogane Yuki met Xia Yan, he often joked with Xia Yan. Xia Yan heard Shirogane Yuki say these things many times, and he stopped caring about Liao Fan.

Chapter 260 Monitoring Lord Long

Because Xia Yan is now very clear in his heart that even if he explains these things to Shirogane Miyuki now, Shirogane Miyuki himself already believes that he and Ram Chika have a relationship, and he definitely won't listen to what he says.

Moreover, what Shirogane Miyuki said was merely a cover-up for a fact, and Xia Yan was well aware that Shirogane Miyuki now favored Kaguya.

After learning that Ram and Chika had moved into his house and were completely at ease with him, and that their relationship had even progressed further, Xia Yan became even less inclined to explain to Shirogane Miyuki.

Moreover, in his opinion, it was better for others to misunderstand than for them to notice that something was wrong with him lately. So Xia Yan didn't say anything else about it.

However, ever since Chika and Ram moved into Natsuhiko's house, Natsuhiko has become less blatant in his actions, although the three of them get along quite well.

Xia Yan knew that Qian Hua and Ram moved into the house because they were worried about him and wanted to keep an eye on him. Although he appeared to be doing nothing, he was actually observing what Long Ye was planning to do.

Because Xia Yan knew very well that Long Ye wanted to take that thing out of Kaguya's body not just out of curiosity, but also because he knew that the thing was very harmful and would definitely harm many people if it were used by others.
