Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 269

Mahiru angrily questioned.

It wasn't that she was angry that the other person said she was like a mother hen, but rather that she was angry at herself for not realizing it sooner.

If I had known earlier that Su Qing's luggage was like this, I would have definitely stuffed more things into it.

For example, snacks or the like.

"No, it means I'm happy to be managed by you."

Su Qing seemed very happy.

It's good to be managed; the worst thing is wanting to be managed but having no one to manage you.

Mahiru felt that her behavior just now was quite willful. Although she had expected Su Qing not to refuse, she did not expect him to be so happy.

"In short, I hope you can be prepared that your luggage will be much heavier than this in the future."

"Hmm, is 50kg okay?"

Su Qing lowered her head, seemingly calculating something in her mind, and spoke after a few seconds.

"Why 50kg?"

Mahiru blinked in confusion. There was no way she could pack 50kg of luggage, right?

Did they put a person inside?

"Your weight plus my luggage and suitcases is about this weight."

Su Qing explained.

"My weight??"

Mahiru stared wide-eyed, looking utterly incredulous.

"Yes, I felt your weight carefully when I hugged you, so I can carry you."

Su Qing half-squatted down, her eyes, brimming with starlight, were so unique and beautiful in the girl's eyes.

Liking is a superficial filter, but intense and sincere emotions make this filter not only superficial.

"If there were a trip that you could take on a whim, without knowing the way ahead, without remembering the way back, and without asking when you would return."

I think you'll always be the first person I think of.

You are my only baggage.

As long as it's you, because it's you, nothing is too bad. Having you by my side brings me peace of mind.

Chapter 324 Flowers Bloom Along the Way

?

Mahiru frowned, realizing that something was wrong.

She seems completely unable to be "assertive" in front of Su Qing!

Even though it's everyone's first time dating, why is he so outstanding?

Shivering with cold, Su Qing scoffed, "When will our Zhenzhuan ever truly stand up?"

"Mahiru, there's something I need to apologize to you for."

Just as the girl was still immersed in her small happiness, she suddenly saw Su Qing say something with a serious expression.

"Hmm... Although I don't think you'll do anything to betray me, please tell me first."

Both Mahiru and Su Qing's personalities dictate that whatever happens between them, they will discuss it openly and honestly.

The process of two people being together is inherently a process of mutual adjustment and compromise.

Some people drifted apart during that process, while others grew closer.

You must have noticed that scarf, right?

"Eh... I'm still a little surprised, because this is the first time I've seen it."

"Hmm... because it was a gift from someone during my school trip."

Before Su Qing could even say who it was, Mahiru had already guessed, "Was it... given to you by Yuihama-san?"

Su Qing: ?

There's a cheater, I'm not playing anymore!

"It's easy to guess, isn't it? As far as I know, you two are very close, and besides, guys probably wouldn't give this kind of thing as a gift, right?"

Mahiru found Su Qing's reaction amusing, covered her mouth and chuckled, then asked curiously, "So, what's there to apologize for?"

"I thought you'd be jealous... I'm sorry, I accepted it even though I knew you might be jealous, it was my fault..."

Su Qing's clear eyes suddenly filled with complex emotions, and he suddenly felt that he had let the girl in front of him down.

He had essentially rejected the cherry blossom, because he had said he wouldn't wear it.

If you're not going to wear it, why accept it?

Even a clear and still mirror couldn't give him a good answer.

"Why would I be jealous? Maybe a little, but she's a very good friend of yours, right? That was a given before I became your girlfriend, wasn't it?"

Mahiru got up from the chair, took Su Qing's hand, and slowly walked to the bedside.

The two sat facing each other on the bed.

"but……"

Su Qing seemed to want to say something more, but Mahiru patted his face with both hands and said softly:

"I'm glad you care about me, but the reason I get jealous so easily is because those girls all have bad intentions when they get close to you."

Although I might get jealous and unhappy about it, my unhappiness is actually quite mild, because I know you won't be so easily swayed.

You once said you secretly learned about my family, and just now you said you wanted to know more about me. Actually, I feel the same way.

I told you, don't underestimate how cunning I am, I do have some knowledge about your relationships with the opposite sex..."

The girl's voice lowered as she spoke, but she relaxed and said again only after Su Qing took her hand:

"Well... in short, you didn't cheat on me, and you weren't two-timing me, right?"

"That's natural."

Su Qing answered without hesitation.

"That's good, so I don't think there's anything to apologize for."

Mahiru smiled sweetly, then, as if remembering something, she slightly opened her arms. After Su Qing pulled her into his embrace, she first rubbed her face against him, then whispered:

"But... just this once? Because I can give you a scarf, gloves, and lots of other things too~"

"okay."

Su Qing responded simply, and held Mahiru even tighter.

The only things in this world that I should never betray are my past passion and the girl I love.

"Oh, speaking of which, I think I've developed superpowers lately?"

Mahiru suddenly said.

"I also have superpowers."

"You have one too?!"

I like you so much.

Su Qing thought for a moment and then said.

Mahiru pouted, patting the other person with a mixture of pleasure and displeasure.

"No, I mean it. Just last night, when I went to pick you up, Yui and Yukinoshita were there too."

At that moment, I felt like I could suddenly sense your inner emotions and such…

[Absolute Sense of Smell] Did she cheat on me?!

"Really? Can you sense other people's presence besides mine?"

This was the first time Mahiru had seen the usually calm and collected boy so flustered.

"No... I don't know why I can only sense it from you, not from anyone else."

And it seems like it was only available last night. I was wondering if I was just imagining things. I was hesitant to tell you, but since you mentioned Yuihama, I'll just mention it.

Mahiru noticed that Su Qing's complexion was not quite right and asked with some concern, "Qing, what's wrong?"

"...I don't know if you'll believe me if I tell you, but maybe it's an ability I've had since I was a child."

"They can sense other people's inner emotions, understand their joys, sorrows, and even discern whether the other person is lying..."

Before Su Qing could finish speaking, Zhen Zhou suddenly pulled him gently into her arms, tenderly stroking his head and asking:

"Is it impossible to control it freely?"

"It wasn't possible at first, but I gradually learned to control it."

Su Qing said.

"Is that so? Then you... must have had a very hard time before, having to endure things that weren't meant for you."

The girl's voice was ethereal and melodious, as if it were a form of redemption.

"You'll get used to it."

Su Qing lay in Zhen Zhou's arms, speaking calmly.

"That's not good at all. Qing, do you know? Last night, it felt like I really entered your inner world. The reason I was sure it was yours is because your heart is just like your heart towards me—gentle and calm like water."

So I feel warm and at ease.

But not everyone is like you. You'll always encounter bad people, right? Like my former homeroom teacher, Ms. Chi. So please don't so easily dismiss it as just a habit.

Mahiru paused, taking a few seconds to think, a pause that felt like an eternity.

"But I know I'm just talking nonsense. If only I could share your pain."

"Share what? Are you an idiot?"

Su Qing suddenly got up and pinned Mahiru to the bed, a rare flash of anger crossing her eyes, before she spoke gently, comforting her:

"The habit I'm talking about isn't numbness. It's that feeling is as natural to me as seeing with my eyes and hearing with my ears. It's just that I'm born with one more sense than most people, but that's something I was born with, so I can adapt. You can't. Can't you try to share my burden, okay?"

Mahiru nodded gently. She didn't quite understand those things; she just didn't want the person in front of her to suffer too much.

"Okay, I promise I won't say that again, alright? But in return, if you feel pain because of it, you must tell me, and I will definitely be by your side, okay?"

Mahiru placed her hand on Su Qing's face, her eyes filled with tenderness that was almost melting into water.

The girl's words were gentle yet powerful, as if even in the darkest night or the deepest abyss, a star would travel billions of kilometers to come and shine for you.

The starlight in Su Qing's eyes shone and shattered, shattered and shone again.

One Hundred Years of Solitude once wrote: "Don't expect too much from others when you're alive. We always want to find someone who can share our pain and sorrow, but most of the time, our earth-shattering pain is nothing more than dust that is casually brushed aside in the eyes of others."

But even so.

We still occasionally fantasize that there exists someone in this world who can quietly listen to your understated words, see the suffering beneath your calm face... with eyes full of heartache.

Not a single word of comfort was offered, not even a seemingly insignificant hug.

Flowers bloom along the road.

May every path we walk in the future be graced by a flower named Gardenia blooming just for us.

……

?

After dinner, Zhenzhu stayed at Su Qing's house as usual.

Because of their conversation and heart-to-heart talk in the afternoon, their feelings for each other deepened, and their time together became even sweeter.

After Mahiru left, it was already one o'clock in the morning before she knew it.
