"I'm wondering... how much time I can spend alone with you during lunch break."
Su Qing's frank answer unexpectedly struck a chord with Mahiru.
Their ideas coincided once again.
Hearing this, Mahiru looked away.
"B-and then?"
"Then I found out it had been almost an hour, so I was happy."
Su Qing said without blushing or skipping a beat.
"I...I was thinking about that too, so...so I'm happy too."
Mahiru stole a glance at Su Qing and found him looking at her with a smile. She shyly picked up the lunchbox and urged him:
"Eat quickly."
"it is good."
Su Qing suppressed the urge to touch Mahiru again and nodded with a smile.
After the two ate in silence for a while, Mahiru suddenly asked:
"Will it taste bad? After all... it's a bit cold."
"No, your food tastes good even when it's cold, and it's not as cold as you think."
After swallowing a mouthful of food, Su Qing smiled and said.
"Um... here's some hot tea, please have some."
Upon hearing this, Mahiru felt much more at ease. The next moment, she poured a steaming cup of tea from her thermos and handed it to Su Qing.
Su Qing reached out and took it, but after taking a sip, she didn't finish it and returned it to Mahiru.
"Drink more, it's still a bit cold outside. Let's go inside early after we finish eating."
"okay."
After Mahiru took the teacup back, she looked at the sloshing tea and a sudden flutter rose in her heart.
Although she and Su Qing have already gone through one, two, three...
Including the one just now, that's a total of seven kisses!
But she still couldn't help but excitedly want to say:
Isn't this just...
An indirect kiss?
……
……
Chapter 273 A Subtle Fragrance
?
stare--
stare--
Mahiru stared at the teacup for a few seconds, and Su Qing stared at Mahiru like that for a few seconds as well.
The girl's face was full of seriousness, her eyes wide open, and Su Qing could even vaguely see the ripples reflected in her eyes.
What is Mahiru thinking?
.......
Mahiru is so cute.
Su Qing's thinking is somewhat disjointed.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that he has always believed this.
While Mahiru was lost in thought, Su Qing secretly took out his phone and took several pictures.
After a quick glance, the photos turned out pretty good.
He then casually put his phone back in his pocket.
I plan to pick out the best one when I have more time.
As for now?
Su Qing quietly put down the lunchbox, rested her chin on one hand, and her gentle gaze was almost glued to Mahiru.
He didn't say a word.
His brows were full of smiles.
A little while later.
Perhaps it was the intense, loving gaze that made Mahiru come to her senses and subconsciously look up.
When she met those eyes filled with happiness, her cheeks instantly flushed red, as alluring as a ripe apple.
She lowered her head shyly and muttered softly:
"What, what's wrong?"
"I think you're... very cute."
Su Qing answered without hesitation, her voice as soothing as a spring breeze.
"Hmm...? Yes, yes."
[I thought they'd found out I was thinking about an indirect kiss!]
[Phew—thank goodness!]
[And my boyfriend said I was cute!]
[Although, although staring at me like that is cunning or something]
[But I really like it]
[So happy...]
Her lips unconsciously curved upwards, revealing two shallow dimples, and a sweet aura seemed to overflow from them.
Mahiru unconsciously stroked the teacup, then closed her eyes as if making some kind of decision, and then drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
And she specifically used the same spot where Su Qing drank!
It seems to taste even better now.
ha~
Eighth kiss achieved!
Mahiru secretly celebrated in her heart.
She didn't plan to share this small "achievement" with Su Qing right away.
It's not that she thinks the other person will think she's childish or making a fuss over nothing.
Mahiru simply wanted to quietly remember every little detail of being with Su Qing.
That way, one day she can happily share these memories with him.
What kind of expression will Qingjun have then?
So looking forward to it.
As Mahiru ate, she thought about it, a hopeful smile on her face.
"There's no need to make the food I'm used to eating, and I don't actually like it that much anyway."
Su Qing used her chopsticks to pick out half of the bitter melon from Mahiru's bento box and placed it in her own bento box, which contained the exact same dish as Mahiru's.
—His bento box was made by Mahiru, so it should be the same.
Su Qing finished speaking casually and then started eating.
He doesn't have any favorite dishes.
The girl probably thought he liked bitter melon because she noticed he ate a lot of it.
The reason I ate so much bitter melon was simply because the weather was too hot at the time, and bitter melon can cool you down and relieve the summer heat.
As for Mahiru, although she doesn't dislike bitter melon, judging from the amount Su Qing observed she ate, she definitely doesn't like it.
As expected, Mahiru paused for a moment, then said:
"Wait, I don't dislike eating bitter melon. After all, bitter melon has beauty benefits."
“Yes, I know,” Su Qing said.
"Then why did you pick and choose? Do you think I'm the kind of picky eater who's a bad kid? And why only half?"
Mahiru tilted her head slightly, her voice soft and sweet as she asked the question.
Although I don't understand, the joy of being cared for is genuine.
sweet.
—She likes to eat sweets.
"You like sweets, don't you?"
I like the way you eat sweets, but I don't like the way you eat bitter things.
But I also know you're not a picky eater or a wasteful child.
So if you absolutely have to endure hardship, I'd like to share half of it with you.
Su Qing spoke calmly; he wasn't taking the oath very seriously.
It lacks the weight of solemn vows.
It could even be described as ungentlemanly and unromantic, since he didn't even ask "Do you want to?"
It was as if it were just something said offhand.
It's something that might be forgotten the very next day.
But when a gentle breeze blows, pushing aside the thin clouds, a corner of the winter sun quietly peeks out.
Mahiru felt an unusual warmth at that moment.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
A sheltered spot from the wind.
Before the warm sun.
The girl nodded gently to the boy, then smiled more radiantly than wildflowers.
……
?
About twenty minutes later.
After finishing lunch, Su Qing and Zhen Zhou did not plan to leave the rooftop immediately, but instead intended to sit there and rest for a while longer.
"My boyfriend's mouth isn't very clean."
After tidying up the lunchboxes with Su Qing.
After staring at the other person's face for a while, Mahiru suddenly spoke.
She didn't say anything more, but the faint glint in her eyes betrayed her thoughts.
Su Qing smiled knowingly and then said:
"Then could you please wipe it off for me?"
"With great pleasure."
The words have not yet fallen.
Mahiru had already taken out a clean handkerchief that she had prepared beforehand and brought it close to Su Qing, looking eager to try it out.
