Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 314

The boys and girls unanimously used beautiful words like "spring break trip," "people they like," and "future" to describe their feelings, as if using these words to cope with the temporary separation.

It was already time to leave school.

More than half of the students had already left the campus, but many remained, their restless hearts harboring various worries and concerns.

"Su Qing, this semester is over. Would it be convenient for me to take a picture with you?"

Inside Class C, a girl stopped Su Qing as she was about to leave, a generous and relaxed smile on her face.

As she spoke, she took out her phone and scrolled through photos of herself with other classmates, as if offering some kind of explanation, and smiled:

"I've almost finished taking group photos with all the classmates, and I just looked... it seems like you're the only one missing?"

The girl's eyes held a light of expectation.

At this moment, probably no one but the person in question knows whether this statement is true or false.

wrong.

Su Qing knew that the most basic use of [Absolute Sense of Smell] was to discern good from evil and to distinguish truth from falsehood.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl for a few seconds without saying a word.

This was a lie, but without malice. In the past, he probably wouldn't have had any reason to refuse, because it wouldn't have been a big deal, but not now.

"Sorry, that won't work."

"Huh? Why? It's just a normal photo between classmates!" the girl blinked, asking with considerable confusion.

"Perhaps it's because... the first photo should be reserved for someone more important?" Su Qing suddenly looked up, her eyes fixed on the flaxen-haired girl leaning against the door.

"Never mind, I was just talking nonsense. Anyway, it's really inconvenient for me."

Su Qing left after speaking, without looking back.

He didn't care whether the other person would interpret his words as perfunctory.

However, that's not entirely accurate, since the reasons for the refusal are already there.

……

"Going home?" As Su Qing walked towards her step by step, the corners of Zhen Zhou's lips gradually curved upwards.

"If you don't have anything else to do, come with me to walk around the school some more," Su Qing said.

"it is good."

Mahiru nodded slightly, without refusing.

But deep down she was wondering why Su Qing had spoken first.

I walked out of the teaching building and into the courtyard through the light snow.

Although the trees in the courtyard were bare, fortunately, it had been snowing for the past few days, and the branches were covered with fresh snow.

A gentle breeze stirred, and the snowflakes made a soft rustling sound as they fell, like petals drifting down.

The scene was like a shower of white flowers, it was very beautiful.

The outside temperature was different from the indoor temperature; the air was filled with a faint chill, making one want to curl up.

Mahiru let out a soft breath and pulled her scarf up a little.

She kept glancing at Su Qing, still somewhat concerned, but she pretended to ask casually:

"Did someone just ask you to take a picture?"

"Well, it should be."

"What do you mean by 'should'?"

Mahiru was helpless.

My boyfriend can be overly meticulous sometimes.

"Definitely, definitely," Su Qing smiled and changed her mind.

"Why wouldn't I agree? I won't care about this kind of thing, and besides, we're classmates..."

Mahiru looked conflicted and worried.

Taking a group photo isn't really considered outrageous, but holding hands or hugging are definitely not allowed.

Hmm... taking pictures too close together isn't ideal either.

Aside from that, Mahiru doesn't mind at all. She's just a little worried that Su Qing rejected her because of her.

After all, such matters can be big or small, and it's best to avoid trouble when classmates gossip behind your back.

Su Qing didn't answer, but instead asked, "Isn't it possible that some people in your class are taking these kinds of group photos too?"

"That's right... A few people came to me, but they were all girls, so I didn't refuse them."

Mahiru tilted her head. In the past, some boys would approach her, but she always rejected them.

In addition, since she has been with Su Qing this semester, it's normal that no one has come to visit her.

"But if a guy comes, I'll refuse, since there's no reason for me to agree. I'm not familiar with them either."

Having said that, Mahiru somewhat understood what Su Qing meant, but she still muttered to herself,

"But boys and girls are still quite different. If you do that, people might say you're stingy or lack manliness."

After all, girls can be quite vengeful and cunning in private.

Compared to men, women understand women better.

This is actually why Hina Ebina likes BL (Boys' Love) literature.

"Let people talk," Su Qing shrugged, appearing indifferent.

It's just my personality.

"what……"

Mahiru wanted to say something more, but Su Qing suddenly tightened her grip on her hand.

The warm touch felt like an electric current instantly shattering the words the girl had just conceived.

"Hey Zhou, do you want to take a picture with me?"

This should be the last time I wear my school uniform this year; I'll keep it as a memento.

Su Qing pointed to a large banyan tree not far away, located on the shore of the lake.

Even now, there are still quite a few people queuing up to take pictures.

If you unfortunately have no friends, you usually choose to ask the next person in your life for help.

The trust and tacit understanding among college students is so simple and genuine.

Upon hearing this, Mahiru's gaze fell upon the couple standing in front of the banyan tree, and she seemed momentarily dazed.

Seeing this, Su Qing lowered her head and moved even closer to her. Zhenzhu could even smell a faint fragrance emanating from the other person.

Even in the dead of winter, the person you love always carries the fragrance of green grass from a summer lawn.

"Don't you want to?"

Su Qing asked softly.

The cold air had already made the tips of her ears turn a faint pink, and the gentle voice lingered around Mahiru's fair ears. For a moment, she even felt that the boy was being affectionate with her.

As a result, the pink on the tips of the girl's ears became even more intense.

Mahiru pulled her scarf up a little higher, glanced at Su Qing, and asked, "Should we put this photo in our 'book'?"

“Since it’s said to be a commemoration, then of course we should do it,” Su Qing said matter-of-factly.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! Otherwise, there will be too many people!"

……

No one else was allowed to take the photos.

While queuing, Su Qing noticed that Hachiman was also in line, right in front of them, with Ayaka naturally by his side.

"Don't leave after we finish filming, help us film one more time." Su Qing didn't give Hachiman any room to refuse.

"What? What did you say? I can't hear you." Hachiman wanted to play dumb and tease Su Qing.

Su Qing glanced at Hachiman and casually said, "I'll help you take a better picture later..."

"What are you saying? Helping a friend is the right thing to do!" Hachiman put his hand on Su Qing's shoulder and said in a very low voice, "Good brother, I'm counting on you for a bit! This is my first photo with her!"

Passionate and energetic young people always have an inexplicable obsession with being number one.

First place, first picture, and the first time...

Many years from now, we will never know whether the moment we stop caring about being number one is what we call "growth" or some kind of compromise...

Su Qing originally wanted to childishly take one bad photo and one good photo.

He could catch a glimpse of Hachiman's excited eyes, but in the end he just nodded emphatically.

My gaze shifted and I saw Saika, her face flushed, her eyes unsure whether to look at Hachiman or not.

Su Qing immediately fell into deep thought.

Speaking of Hachiman, is it possible that Saika can actually hear what you're saying?

……

Most of the people in line were very quick and efficient.

That's the good thing about college students; they're always afraid of bothering others, and their catchphrase is usually "thank you, thank you." If someone accidentally bumps into them, they don't say "sorry" but rather "I'm sorry."

And just like that, it was soon the turn of Hikigaya and Ayaka.

"Stand up straight."

"smile."

"...Don't smile so stiffly."

"And don't laugh so lewdly..."

Having promised Hikigaya, Su Qing did her best to help the two take photos.

However, the other person clearly had little experience in front of the camera, so many of the photos were unbearable to look at.

Of course, "unbearable to look at" refers to Hachiman Hikigaya.

"It's done. Come and take a look. If you're not satisfied, I'll do it again."

Su Qing put her phone away and shouted to the two people under the tree.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted. I never imagined taking photos would be so tiring." Hachiman walked over, stretching his stiff shoulders and arms.

Even the short one or two minutes it took to take the photo felt like an hour.

If I did it again, I'd definitely die!

However, when he glanced to the side and noticed Ayaka's excited and expectant expression, he couldn't help but think:

Looks like I need to practice taking selfies in front of the mirror more often...

Mirror: So?

"Sure, sure, I'm a good brother to you, I know you're reliable."

Hikigaya took the phone and was quite satisfied after just a quick glance at the results Su Qing had taken.

They captured 90% of his handsomeness in the photos!

"give it to you."

Su Qing tossed her phone to Hikigaya and then led Mahiru towards the tree.

"Don't worry, even though it's my first time, I'm confident..." Hachiman confidently assured him that taking photos would be a piece of cake!

Not to mention that Su Qing and Zhen Zhou are both supermodels in appearance.

Su Qing seemed to have triggered a certain keyword, and slowly turned around, "First time?"

"Uh, what's wrong..."

Taking photos is just pressing the shutter and finding the right angle, right? Um...maybe...
