Anime Crossover: My Youth Begins with Charlotte

And so the matter was temporarily put to rest. Meanwhile, on the other side, Kaguya and Miyuki Shirogane had been staying outside, but Kaguya's health had indeed almost fully recovered.

Furthermore, Shirogane Miyuki realized that it had been a long time since he had seen everyone, so he brought Kaguya to Natsuhiko's house. When everyone saw this scene, they were filled with love, knowing that Kaguya's health had always been very weak.

They were also worried that if something unexpected happened, it would be very dangerous for Miss. However, after seeing this scene, they no longer had any worries. Meanwhile, on the other side, Kaguya was very curious about the relationship between Chika and Natsuhiko.

You see, he originally wanted Chika and Natsuhiko to be together, but he didn't expect that Chika would want to give up. Although he still liked Natsuhiko, after realizing this, Kaguya and Chika went to a relatively remote place alone this time.

Chapter 464 Small talk

A slow smile crept across Chika's lips as she glanced at Kaguya, then said to him teasingly:

"I was saying you've been living a pretty good life lately. I noticed that Shirogane Yukichi has been taking good care of you. He was probably worried you were thirsty or cold, so he took care of you just now. I almost mistook him for a babysitter."

Kaguya's expression softened instantly. In truth, she didn't regret her choice at all. Moreover, she had already been moved by Shirogane Miyuki. Realizing this, she glanced at Chika beside her, her curiosity deepening, and then said:

"Alright, alright, stop criticizing me now. I'm really curious about what's going on between you and Xia Yan. Before, you insisted on being friends with him, saying that this (backup group 2, group 8 is the most comfortable distance between the two of you) was the best, and I didn't stop you. Anyway, I felt that you two would eventually develop feelings for each other over time. I wonder if you two have taken things a step further during this period of time?"

Upon hearing these words, a hint of sadness flashed in Qianhua's eyes. He also wanted to do the same, especially since he still quite liked Xia Yan.

But Xia Yan didn't give him that chance at all. Realizing this, he sighed and glanced at Kaguya beside him before saying:

“I told you not to bring this up again. I also want to make things better with him, but he went out for a while and wasn’t with us, so we’re still the same as before. But things are better now, at least we can still be friends, right?”

A hint of disappointment flashed in Kaguya's eyes. He had thought that during the time he and Shirogane Miyuki were away, Chika and Natsuhiko would make great progress, but he did not expect that the two of them would stop making progress.

Realizing this, he sighed softly, but when he saw Qianhua's gloomy expression, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

After all, in his opinion, Chika was a very good girl. Only Xia Yan was still not quite there yet. Realizing this, he walked up to Chika and patted her on the shoulder. Meanwhile, on the other side, Xia Yan and Shirogane Yuki were talking about Lord Long.

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

You know, back then, it was the two of them working together to get Master Long in there, but Master Long also helped them a lot while he was inside. Realizing this, Xia Yan sighed inwardly at the unpredictability of life. Shirogane Miyuki, standing beside him, seemed to understand his thoughts and then said to him:

"Alright, alright, I feel that Master Long has made great progress in there. Moreover, he has already reformed himself, and the relevant personnel inside are considering reducing his sentence. Also, before, Huiye and I visited the girl, and her business is doing very well now."

"Not only that, he is now waiting for Master Long to return to his small island. He has also started his own business. I believe that after Master Long comes out, they will live a happy life."

Hearing this, Xia Yan's smile deepened, as he felt everything was moving in a positive direction. Moreover, he had just observed the strong bond between Shirogane Miyuki and Kaguya, and realizing this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Chapter 465 Heart-to-heart talk

For Xia Yan, everything was developing in a positive direction. Realizing this, the smile on his lips deepened. Shirogane Miyuki, standing beside him, naturally understood his thoughts, sighed softly, and then said firmly to him:

"Look, most things have settled down now. Shouldn't you settle down too? If you can't settle down, Kaguya will definitely worry in her heart, and then my life won't be easy either."

Xia Yan frowned slightly and rolled his eyes at Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing next to him. In Xia Yan's opinion, Shirogane Miyuki was definitely not worried about him.

Realizing this, he sighed softly. However, he didn't want to stay and listen to Shirogane Miyuki's rambling. Before Shirogane Miyuki could say anything else, he immediately spoke to him:

"Alright, alright, I beg you, please don't say these things to me anymore, okay? If you want to stay here, then stay. I'm going to see Master Long. After all, it's been a long time since I've seen him, and we need to talk."

The helplessness in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes deepened. He naturally understood what Xia Yan was thinking, but just as he was about to stop him, Xia Yan had already disappeared. Realizing this, a strange look flashed in his eyes. At the same time, Xia Yan had already arrived at Lord Long's place.

When Long Ye saw Xia Yan again, he frowned slightly, but he was also very happy. Although Xia Yan and Shirogane Yuki had brought him in before, Xia Yan had also taken care of his daughter and was trying to reduce his sentence. After realizing this, he regretted his past actions.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yan's smile deepened. In fact, he had been visiting Master Long occasionally, and for some reason, chatting with Master Long always made him feel more relaxed.

Moreover, ever since the girl returned to that small island, he only visits Master Long periodically. Realizing this, Xia Yan sighed softly and then said:

"Don't worry, I heard from Shirogane Yuuki that you're doing quite well on the island lately. The reason he's working so hard is so that you can enjoy your retirement when you go back. So you should take good care of yourself here. I just asked the administrator, and he said you'll be able to leave soon..."

A hint of joy flashed in Master Long's eyes. He understood what Xia Yan meant by those words. Realizing this, a smile slowly appeared on his lips. In fact, he knew quite well in his heart that the person he admired most was none other than Xia Yan in front of him.

Although he and Xia Yan had some grudges back then, so much time had passed that the grudges had long since disappeared without a trace. After realizing this, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. Then the two of them chatted about some other things, and they were quite happy together.

However, Xia Yan didn't stay there long. After learning some basic information, he left. But after Xia Yan left, his brows furrowed tightly because he had just received a message on his phone. Only then did he realize that his good friend was really missing.

Chapter 466 Anxiety

Actually, Xia Yan had this suspicion in his heart before, but he also consulted his good friend's friends and learned some other information, so he was not so worried. But now so many days have passed and there is still no news. Xia Yan is already extremely anxious.

However, he did not act rashly. After all, this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Moreover, his good friend went to that place every year, so he must have his own purpose. However, the message he received on his phone just now confirmed his thoughts. After realizing this, the worry in his eyes gradually deepened. But Xia Yan still contacted all of his friend's friends as soon as possible.

However, to Xia Yan's great disappointment, he did not get any useful clues this time. Even the friend who had some clues last time was very strange this time. After realizing this, Xia Yan was very anxious and his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

However, he was also very clear in his heart that things were developing in a very abnormal way. If he wanted to know where his good friend was, he still had to go to western Sichuan to check the situation.

Realizing this, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes. At the same time, Chika and Ram, who were standing nearby, also learned of this news. They had been very worried after learning that Xia Yan's good friend had gone missing, especially since Xia Yan had spent a long time with him before.

So when they heard that Xia Yan's good friend was really missing, they immediately understood what Xia Yan was thinking. That day, Chika and Ram blocked Xia Yan's path. Xia Yan frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. But before he could ask anything, he heard Chika say to him:

“I know what you’re thinking right now. Even though he’s your friend, it’s really too dangerous for you to go alone. Why don’t you take the two of us with you? The two of us can reduce the chances of you being suspected.”

A flicker of hesitation crossed Xia Yan's eyes. He didn't know the situation there, and if it was dangerous, it would be extremely disadvantageous for them. Realizing this, his hesitation deepened. Qian Hua, standing beside him, seemed to understand his thoughts. Her eyes were resolute, and she glanced at Xia Yan with a serious expression before saying:

"Let me tell you, stop thinking about getting rid of us now. Otherwise, we'll be very worried about 677. Besides, if we go in with you, it will definitely help you. And if you try to find your friend there on your own, you probably won't find any clues."

"Yes, yes, just let us go with you. As the saying goes, many hands make light work. We certainly won't hold you back. On the contrary, it's you who will hold you back by leaving us here."

Ram, who was standing to the side, chimed in. Hearing this, Xia Yan's brows furrowed even more. However, he was well aware that if he refused Chika and Ram now, they would secretly follow him in the end.

Chapter 467 Frowning

Realizing this, Xia Yan sighed softly, but still agreed to Chika and Ram's suggestion. Chika and Ram looked at each other, and their smiles deepened.

After all, in their view, Xia Yan was quite thoughtful to go alone. With them by his side to look after him, at least they could take precautions if anything happened.

Realizing this, the smiles in their eyes deepened. Xia Yan, standing to the side, didn't waste any more time, as he felt the situation was far too dangerous.

Moreover, his friend had been missing for quite some time. Realizing this, the helplessness in his eyes deepened. He then looked at Chika and Ram beside him and said to them:

"I'm telling you, it's okay for you to come with me this time, but you must take good care of yourselves. If anything happens, don't worry about me, just try your best to protect yourselves."

Chika and Ram frowned slightly, but in order not to worry Xia Yan, they nodded to him. After packing their things, they got up and the journey was smooth at first.

However, to Xia Yan's surprise, when they were halfway there, Xia Yan suddenly sensed something was wrong. At first, everything was calm, but gradually Xia Yan seemed to realize that someone was following them.

Realizing this, Xia Yan's brows furrowed even more deeply. Seeing this, Qian Hua's eyes flashed with confusion, and she looked at Xia Yan with great bewilderment before turning to him with a questioning gaze:

"What's wrong? What happened? Why do you look so worried?"

A hint of helplessness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, slowly deepening. He glanced at Qian Hua beside him, then said to her:

“I’ve always felt like someone is following us, but we don’t know if it’s just my imagination.”

A hint of wariness flashed in Qianhua's eyes, because he was already very clear in his heart that this matter was still dangerous.

Otherwise, Xia Yan's friend wouldn't have disappeared as soon as he arrived there. After you mentioned this, he sighed softly, a glint of something flashing in his eyes. But speaking of his temper, he also wanted to see who was following them.

He glanced at Xia Yan beside him, pondered for a moment, and then said to him:

"~Isn't that simple? Since you want to know who's following us, all you have to do is park the car on the other side and take a closer look. But be careful not to let anyone spot you, or it could be dangerous."

A hint of agreement flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. He continued driving normally, just like before. But when he arrived at a gas station, Xia Yan deliberately parked the car on the side of the road and went to use the restroom.

Xia Yan had been secretly observing him as he quietly went to the restroom. He came to a door with a window on it and carefully observed the area. Sure enough, he saw a black car following behind his and Qianhua Ram's car.

The car didn't stop; it just refueled as usual, but after refueling, it didn't move forward.

Chapter 468 Shaking off the stalker

Seemingly waiting for some reason, Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, frowned more and more after realizing this.

Now it's pretty much confirmed that someone is definitely following them. A hint of worry flashed in his eyes. If it were Xia Yan alone, he would have tried to escape immediately. But since Qian Hua and Ram are with him now, and the two of them realized this, the helplessness in his eyes deepened.

However, Xia Yan knew that this place was not a place to fall into depravity, so he went back to the car as if nothing had happened. Chika and Ramko looked at him with serious expressions. Xia Yan nodded to them. After seeing this, Chika and Ramko looked at each other, and the gloom in each other's eyes slowly deepened.

Neither of them expected to be watched the moment they stepped out of the house. Meanwhile, Xia Yantu, who was standing nearby, was very worried that something might happen to Qianhua and Ram, so she immediately said to them:

"Let me tell you, none of us will be going too far along the way, so you all have to be very careful every time you take action, otherwise there is a high chance of danger."

After saying these words, Xia Yan, who was standing to the other side, instantly became even more serious. Seeing this, Chika's brows furrowed more and more nervously. Of course, she understood Xia Yan's thoughts, and nodded to him with increasing loneliness.

Meanwhile, Xia Yan was trying to shake off the people following them. After all, in Xia Yan's view, they were looking for his friend and not doing anything bad. He just didn't understand who was following him.

Xia Yan had secretly wondered if it might be one of her old enemies, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't recall anyone he had contacted. Moreover, almost all the people he had been in contact with had been dealt with by the relevant authorities. After this point, Xia Yan's brows furrowed more and more, and he was very puzzled.

At the same time, just as Xia Yan was thinking this, he vaguely saw a car following him. A glint flashed in his eyes, but Xia Yan slowly increased his speed.

Chika and Ram, who were standing nearby, were momentarily stunned by the scene. But what they didn't expect was that Xia Yan would start speeding on this very road, which was a national highway.

Moreover, some people were already quite dissatisfied with Xia Yan and kept asking him questions, but for Xia Yan, the most important thing now was to shake off those people. Besides, Xia Yan already knew the road conditions here, so he took a particularly roundabout route.

The car behind them had been able to keep up with Xia Yan at first, but in the end, it vanished from his sight in an instant. Realizing this, the two people in the car immediately frowned, a glint of cunning flashing in their eyes. At the same time, Xia Yan, who was beside them, naturally saw this scene and gently let out a sigh of relief.

Chika and Ram, standing to the side, exchanged a knowing smile, since they had no idea who the people following them were.

Chapter 469 Inquiry

However, this matter was indeed very serious for Xia Yan, since he had been to that place in western Sichuan before.

Although he didn't find anything amiss in that part of western Sichuan, he still felt that the valley was very suspicious. Realizing this, he sighed softly, and the strangeness in his eyes deepened.

Fortunately, "677" and his group had shaken off all those people. Qianhua and Ram's eyes flashed with admiration. At the same time, just as they were thinking this, they arrived at the place where Xia Yan's good friend had come.

After arriving at this place, Xia Yan hurriedly looked for a place to stay so that he could find out more information about his good friend.

So he found a hotel and settled in. The hotel owner glanced at Xia Yan, a strange glint in his eyes, but his expression remained calm.

Unbeknownst to the others, after arranging for Chika and Ram, Xia Yan sighed quietly, pondered for a moment, and then said to them:

"We've all settled in here now, but you all need to be careful, as there are dangers involved. I'm going to try and find out about my good friend, so you'd better stay in a hotel together."

Upon hearing these words, a serious look flashed in the eyes of Chika and Ram, who were standing to the side. They understood what Xia Yan was thinking, and after realizing this, they exchanged a glance, then said to Xia Yan very earnestly:

"Alright, we already know about this, so don't worry about it here. Go and find out where your good friend went. We'll stay here and try our best to find out more for you."

A hint of agreement flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, so he didn't waste any more time and hurriedly went out to inquire about his friend. Xia Yan only knew some other clues about his friend, so after inquiring around, he didn't get any useful clues.

Realizing this, a shadow of sadness crossed his eyes, and his brows furrowed even more deeply, because in his mind, his good friend must have something important to do here...

Moreover, it is very likely that he offended other forces here, which is why he disappeared. However, Xia Yan was unfamiliar with the place and did not know how to search for him. The sadness in Xia Yan's eyes was slowly deepening. But later, he found out about the hotel where his friend had stayed from someone.

A glint flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, and without wasting any more time, he hurried to the inn. The innkeeper's eyes flickered with a strange light when he saw Xia Yan, but he didn't suspect him. He simply thought Xia Yan was a stranger and assumed he was there to stay. Xia Yan didn't linger and quickly got straight to the point:

"Boss, I've come here today to ask you about something."

After hearing these words, the boss frowned slightly, but as a businessman, he didn't want to offend anyone here, nor did he understand Xia Yan's true identity.

Chapter 470 Dissuasion

Realizing this, the boss shook his head at Xia Yan, indicating that he didn't know.

Seeing this, Xia Yan's brows furrowed even more deeply. He naturally understood that the boss didn't want to cause trouble. Realizing this, he took out several hundred yuan from his wallet, placed it directly in front of the boss, and then said to him:

"Don't worry, boss. I definitely won't trouble you or make you go through all that trouble. I just wanted to ask you about the whereabouts of one of your customers. Besides, I have no grudge against him. He's my friend."

After saying this, Xia Yan placed a photo of his good friend on the boss's desk. Upon seeing this, the boss frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. However, he ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of money and directly said to Xia Yan, who was standing beside him:
