Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 172

You are not alone, I am still by your side.

Or you could simply hold her hand without saying a word, and just keep holding it.

They all sound great, don't they?

But that's just what it sounds like.

Because I've never had it, even the thought of it makes me feel happy.

Mahiru didn't understand before, but she's come to understand more and more ever since she met Su Qing.

They learned about [cunning].

Because Su Qing always does things that make her heart race.

I've learned about [despicable].

Because Su Qing always stared at her with those beautiful eyes, she fell for him.

I also learned about... [happiness].

Because as long as you stay by Su Qing's side, you can truly feel it.

That's all.

?

"Qingjun".

Mahiru's soft voice rang out inside the supermarket.

"what happened?"

Su Qing replied immediately.

“In mainland China, there is a system of zodiac signs, and I think you were born in the Year of the Rabbit.”

Although she was asking a question, Mahiru spoke with great certainty.

It seems that this view has already been accepted.

"Hmm...you should be born in the Year of the Monkey, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Su Qing smiled. He had his bone age tested at the hospital, so he could deduce the year he was born.

"Born in the Year of the Monkey? I see..." Mahiru stroked her chin, looking thoughtful. "Monkeys are quite clever animals, aren't they? No wonder you're so [cunning]."

"So you just made the connection to the proverb 'a cunning rabbit has three burrows'?"

Su Qing chuckled, somewhat admiring Mahiru's imaginative ideas.

“A tacit understanding. That’s exactly what I meant.” Mahiru’s eyes flashed with joy, but perhaps afraid that Su Qing would disagree, she countered, “Isn’t that how it is?”

"Did I just do something that you find cunning?"

Knowing that Mahiru already understood, Su Qing simply pretended to be ignorant.

"They could have just said something like, 'You, you still have me' from the beginning..."

"Why are you stuttering? You...you still have me..."

Su Qing interrupted Mahiru and mimicked her tone.

"No interruptions allowed!"

Mahiru pouted. She had intended to pretend to be angry, but Su Qing's imitation of her speech was so lifelike that she couldn't help but laugh.

She could only playfully slap Su Qing, her eyes widening, and warn him again:

"This time, you're not allowed to interrupt me again!"

Su Qing understood immediately and simply made a gesture of locking her mouth.

Seeing this, Mahiru nodded in satisfaction and then continued her story.

"In short, you could have just told me directly 'you are not alone,' but instead you implied it to me in that way. Don't you think that's... cunning?"

"Hey, that's weird. I think I just picked up a head of broccoli. As for any hints or anything, maybe you're overthinking it?"

Su Qing smiled and shook her head, then said in a matter-of-fact tone,

"But of course you're not alone. We came out to buy groceries together, didn't we?"

"of course."

Mahiru nodded in full agreement.

Su Qing, who was so big, was pushing a small cart right next to her.

So, of course there are two people!

"You've probably never tried grocery shopping with someone before, have you?" Su Qing asked.

"Um...no."

"So, did you find it boring coming out with me today?" Su Qing asked again.

"Well... I don't think so."

"So, some things might be boring to do alone, but not necessarily to do with two people," Su Qing concluded. "However, we haven't done enough experiments yet. I think we should do them more times to make them rigorous."

"Huh? So, how many times do you have to do it to be considered rigorous?"

Mahiru lightly touched her thin lips with her finger, tilted her head, and asked expectantly.

"The more the better. What do you think?"

After careful consideration, Su Qing said.

"The more... the better."

Masahiro repeated this with a sigh.

[That really sounds like your answer!]

Taking advantage of Su Qing's inattention, she came to his side and coughed twice. Only when Su Qing turned his gaze to her did she lean her body and fall towards Su Qing.

It looks like a collision.

It seems as if it is relying on something.

After only a brief moment of contact, Mahiru immediately regained her balance.

"So it looks like I won't have to push the stroller myself anymore?"

"Well, that's roughly the idea. So you need to get used to it quickly."

"Hum~"

Mahiru let out a few soft, childlike moans, her voice as gentle as cotton candy.

"There's no need for any experiments... With you here, it won't feel boring."

Mahiru tried her best to keep her voice down, but Su Qing still managed to hear something.

Did you just say something?

No. Did I say anything?

Mahiru blinked innocently, mimicking Su Qing's feigned ignorance.

"Oh, then I must have misheard."

Yes. I misheard.

Mahiru emphasized this in a very serious tone.

[Serves you right for pretending to be stupid and playing tricks on me!]

Mahiru sometimes felt that being with Su Qing was a real ordeal!

Just like it is now.

She really wanted to laugh, but for some reason, she had to force herself to keep a straight face and suppress it.

At the very least, you can't laugh too obviously!

Isn't that a kind of torture?

To suppress laughter, you can't look at the person in question; you have to look elsewhere to distract yourself.

So while Mahiru was trying to purse her lips, she didn't notice that Su Qing had quietly taken two steps closer to her.

"If there are two people, then two people can prepare the ingredients, right?"

The light, airy words slipped into Mahiru's ears. Su Qing didn't whisper in her ear; he just took two steps closer, yet Mahiru had the illusion that Su Qing was whispering in her ear.

"I...I heard it."

Mahiru thought Su Qing was deliberately lowering her voice to imitate her, and reminded her.

"That's for you to hear."

Su Qing remained calm, showing no signs of the feeling of being caught whispering.

"It was just the two of us, of course I know that."

[Ugh, you idiot Su Qing!]

It was obvious that Mahiru's inner world was far from as calm as she appeared.

wrong.

Su Qing could no longer see Mahiru's face.

Because Mahiru had already lowered her head again, without anyone noticing.

?

In fact, Mahiru knew the answer from the very beginning.

There's no need to worry about what others will do.

Because no one will ever do it better than Su Qing.

He seemed to say nothing, but in fact he said everything.

and so.

Even though she had repeated it many times, Mahiru seemed to never get tired of it.

She still wanted to keep a smile on her lips as she spoke earnestly, word by word, pausing between each sentence:

"Su Qing, it's [Su Qing]~~"

Chapter 229 Don't Compromise with the World

?

About ten minutes later, Su Qing and Zhen Zhou had almost finished buying the ingredients for dinner.

"That should be enough, right?"

Su Qing asked.

"Hmm... I'd also like to check out some seasonings and things like that; it should be quick."

After staring at the full shopping cart for a while, Mahiru looked up and happened to see soy sauce and other condiments. "You can take these to the checkout first. If I buy anything else, I can checkout again."

Knowing that Mahiru was worried about the number of customers increasing later, Su Qing nodded and did not refuse.

"Then I'll wait for you at the checkout counter?"

"I won't keep you waiting too long."

Mahiru smiled.

?

"Sigh... Am I being pathetic? Seeing that couple makes me feel a little sour, but not seeing them makes me feel empty."

Sitting at the cashier, bored out of her mind, Kyoko Sato really wanted to slap herself twice.

Hello. Checkout.

"Eh? Okay, okay."

[Why does that voice sound so familiar?]
