[Yes, that's it.]
After staring at Su Qing's sharply defined profile for a while, Yukino turned her gaze back to the computer screen.
"Have you learned it?" Su Qing asked.
"Hmm... teach me again, I didn't see it very clearly just now," Yukino replied softly.
Didn't you see it clearly?
That means you have nearsightedness or astigmatism, and you should wear glasses.
With that thought in mind, Su Qing then reenacted the actions she had just performed.
This time, Yukino didn't look at Su Qing's profile anymore; her gaze was fixed on the screen, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.
And this time, Yukino was watching with a subtle smile.
……
Chapter 143 Deception and Being Deceived
About five minutes later.
"This form... can also be processed quickly like this..."
Su Qing spoke quietly, Yukino listened quietly, and Yui pricked up her ears to try to hear.
"You seem quite proficient at these operations?" Yukino asked as the work came to a temporary halt.
"It's alright," Su Qing said calmly.
"Hmm... Yui seems to be having some difficulties at work. Why don't you go and take a look?" Yukino glanced at Yui out of the corner of her eye and noticed her unusual behavior, then said softly.
"Okay, call me if you have any questions." Su Qing nodded, then walked straight towards Yui.
Yui had been trying to listen to what Yukino and Su Qing were saying, her plump, round buttocks almost lifting off the chair, but when she saw Su Qing walking straight toward her, Yui's face instantly turned panicked. She quickly sat down and tried to grab the mouse to operate it, but she missed several times.
"Huh?" Just as Yui was feeling puzzled, Su Qing picked up the mouse with its long cable trailing behind it and asked with a smile:
"Is this what Yui is looking for?"
"Hmm—" Yui was conflicted. She really wanted to talk to Su Qing. If she was ignored, she would probably have to hide under the covers and repent for her sins that night. But Su Qing had ignored her and gone straight to Xiao Xue, which made Yui unhappy.
But to be honest, she was only a little unhappy, and Su Qing came back shortly after, so Yui's initial unhappiness vanished.
Just as Yui had figured everything out and was about to say something, she heard Su Qing laugh:
"Still ignoring me?"
But you're ignoring Xiaoqing, Guan Suqing should be alright, right?
"That's right, that's right, you idiot Qing!" Yui said softly with a smile in her eyes.
However, Yui was overjoyed. She never expected that Xiaoqing thought exactly the same thing as her. The two of them were really in sync!
You see, she had already prepared herself to say, "It's Yui who ignores you, but now I'm in work mode—Yui, so I can talk to you now. After work, I'll say I'm in rest mode—Yui, and I can talk to you then too!"
In short: This Yui is not that Yui, and Bing Xin's original name was Extreme Cold Storm, not Xie Wanying.
"Insulting me to my face?" Su Qing raised an eyebrow, realizing that this matter was not simple.
"They're scolding Xiao Qing, what does it have to do with Su Qing?" Yui put her hands on her hips, perfectly demonstrating what she had just learned.
"That's true. Now, let me teach you about some difficulties you encounter at work." Su Qing didn't know that Yui had just finished brainwashing herself, so the way he offered her was actually not very necessary.
However, it is precisely because of this that Yui is Yui.
"Then what should we do with this?" Because the mouse was still in Su Qing's hand, Yui could only gesture with her finger.
"For this, click here first, then click here..." When it came to work, Su Qing no longer joked around, but patiently and meticulously taught Yui some practical methods and skills.
Although we live in the era of big data, and many skills are taught by professionals on certain platforms, that is too time-consuming, and you may not understand it after watching it only once. Having someone guide you step by step is naturally different from online teaching.
Under Su Qing's simple and easy-to-understand teaching, Yui quickly grasped the basics, and today's work was successfully completed.
"You did a great job." Seeing that Yui had completed her work smoothly under his guidance, Su Qing praised her.
"Of course! With Qing's guidance, victory is inevitable!" Yui said happily after making a silly peace sign.
"Are you willing to talk to Xiaoqing now?" Su Qing teased when she saw that Yui had given herself away.
"Hmm..." Yui didn't answer immediately, but dragged out the last syllable, as if to whet Su Qing's appetite.
"Hmm what?"
"I never intended to ignore Xiaoqing, I was just kidding, hehe~" Yui changed her tone, made a face at Su Qing, and then packed her things to go find her Xiaoxue.
Standing there, Su Qing awkwardly touched her face and sighed, thinking, "It's really like Yui Minami is taking advantage of my old age and weakness."
Well, forget it, we're even now~

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

The next day, the last day of the sports festival, it was Su Qing's turn to participate in the obstacle course race, which he had signed up for early in the morning. As he was preparing to enter the venue, he was surprised to find that Mahiru was on the track next to his.
"What a coincidence," Su Qing said to Mahiru in surprise.
Although he knew that the other person had also signed up for the competition, to be honest, there were quite a lot of people participating in this competition. Just from the C class he knew, there were quite a few people who signed up. Therefore, it was quite a coincidence that the two of them were assigned to the same group or even adjacent tracks.
"Maybe this is... fate?" Back on campus, Mahiru's smile was always dignified and polite, yet carried an undeniable sense of distance.
Only in front of Su Qing could this awkward composure be tinged with the gentleness unique to a young girl.
"Fate? Maybe." Su Qing didn't pay much attention to the girl's words. He had never believed in such things because they were all too vague and unrealistic.
"It's fate," the girl emphasized, clearly showing how much she cared.
Su Qing smiled, not paying much attention to it.
The straight-line distance in the borrowing race is actually quite short, since the focus of this event is on "borrowing" items. Therefore, most of the time spent by the participants is spent searching for the required items. Thus, this event does not differentiate between men and women.
At the same time, the requirements for finding lost items at Zongwu High School are generally carefully considered, and try to include items that are available at the scene, in order to maintain a certain degree of fairness.
Moreover, after years of lessons learned, the school no longer requires students to write down requirements such as "[the person you like]". After all, those who draw these are usually single people, either the 2.5D type who sleeps with a Hatsune Miku pillow, or innocent young men who are attracted to someone but dare not make a move.

Chapter 144 A Girl Like a Gardenia
Time flew by as Su Qing and Zhen Zhou talked, and now it was their turn.
With the sound of the referee's gunshot, Su Qing, relying on her physical abilities, quickly became the first to arrive at the location where she could draw a slip of paper with the items she needed to borrow written on it.
"Cute...things?"
Su Qing was stunned for a moment, then speechless.
Who wrote this note? There is no precise definition of "cute," and the note does not specify whether the standard of "cuteness" is based on public opinion or the contestant's own opinion.
That's not very rigorous...
Su Qing thought about it for a moment, and finally interpreted it as the [cute] that is generally accepted, and then began to look around.
Meanwhile, Mahiru from the next track also received her little note. She first muttered the contents of the note to herself, then pursed her lips, as if she had made up her mind.
Then she took a few steps to Su Qing's side, and under Su Qing's astonished gaze, she parted her red lips slightly:
"I need to borrow you, so after you've borrowed that... can I borrow you instead?"
Wait a minute, isn't the "borrowing object" part of the race?
I am not from the East...
Never mind... I guess abstract understanding counts too.
"Then let's go to the finish line together. It just so happens that I can borrow you too."
When Mahiru saw that Su Qing did not refuse, and that the other party actually wanted to borrow her, a charming smile instantly bloomed on her face.
Then, the two arrived at the finish line together, and the referee was a little confused to see that they were empty-handed.
Could it be that both of them are trying to borrow from me?
Just as the referee was lost in unrealistic fantasies, Su Qing and Zhen Zhou showed the referee the note they had received, explaining that they wanted to borrow each other's items so that the referee could make a judgment.
"Let me see."
The referee, his dream shattered, forced a calm expression and took the notes from Su Qing and Zhen Zhou.
Because Su Qing's note was on top, the referee first looked at what Su Qing needed to borrow. After seeing it clearly, he then examined Mahiru for a moment before commenting:
"Cute things? If it's this student, then it certainly fits the bill."
Upon learning that the note Su Qing received contained the words "[cute things]", Mahiru felt a surge of joy, but also a slight blush crept onto her face. She murmured in a very low voice:
"Isn't she... cute...?"
"Hmm...? What does this student want to borrow?"
After hearing the referee's surprised and uncertain words, Su Qing also asked:
"What, do I not meet her requirements for borrowing money?"
Upon hearing this, the referee did not immediately answer Su Qing. Instead, he revealed a meaningful smile and, after a long pause, slowly replied:
"How would I know? You have to ask the girl herself. If she says it's suitable, then it's suitable; if she says it's not, then it's not. My opinion doesn't count."
Su Qing was completely confused.
No, are you the referee or is Mahiru the referee?
However, given the current situation, it's likely that Mahiru received a more subjective assessment.
"Yes, he fits the bill perfectly."
Seeing the referee's questioning look, Mahiru nodded without hesitation.
If Su Qing isn't one, then no one is...
"Congratulations, you two are tied for first place today."
After announcing the two players' scores, the referee remarked in a sour tone:
"Ah, youth is so wonderful...tsk, back in my day I was quite the dashing figure at Zongwu High School..."
Then came some strange phrases such as "When you reach middle age, you are no longer in control of your own life and your strength is no longer up to you."
After learning the results, Mahiru and Su Qing naturally ignored him and left the track directly.
What did you write on your note?
The referee hadn't directly revealed the contents of Mahiru's note, so Su Qing asked out of curiosity.
"Want to know?"
Mahiru suddenly quickened her pace, came up to the boy, and gave him a playful smile.
"Yes, so tell me quickly."
Seeing this, Su Qing first smiled helplessly, and then pretended to be serious as she asked Mahiru to tell her.
"I just can't do anything with you~"
Although she knew Su Qing was cooperating with her, Mahiru didn't mind. Instead, she tilted her head and said with a doting expression.
So what exactly is it?
Su Qing was about to ask a question, but before she could finish speaking, Majutsu, who had taken two or three light steps to stand in front of her, gently pressed her right index finger against hers.
What a strange touch...
This was Su Qing's first thought as her pupils constricted.
Then, he saw those caramel-colored eyes sparkling with a light called "happiness" and "sincerity," as bright as the stars in the sky but not dazzling.
The girl parted her lips slightly, her voice calm yet trembling slightly:
"It's... [an important person]~"
After saying this, Mahiru quickly turned her back to Su Qing, as if she was adjusting her emotions. While Su Qing was still in a daze, she showed her profile again, and even just half of her smile was enough to be stunning.
Rather, the phrase "still holding a pipa, half-concealing her face" is precisely used to describe the young girl at this moment.
"It's also—[fate]." Mahiru emphasized again earnestly, as if this was the most important thing in her life so far.
They are indeed very cute, or rather, they are so cute that it's unfair.
Even just showing her profile, she's already incredibly cute.
