Clearly, Yui Yuigahama's mood has improved again.
Meanwhile, the other two members of the trio observed the situation from the rear. Seeing that Yui was easily appeased and coaxed by Su Qing, they secretly sighed in their hearts, "Love-obsessed people should really die," and then quietly ate their lunch.
But will that day ever come for me and Hayama? Yumiko Miura couldn't help but ask herself.
Chapter 10: Waiting in vain, and then the angel wanted a reward!
After an uneventful afternoon of classes, Su Qing said goodbye to Yui Yuigahama, who had been happily chatting away all afternoon, and walked home alone.
When I passed by the supermarket, I stopped and, after thinking it over, decided to buy some bread for late-night snacks over the next few days.
Then, nothing happened along the way...
I wonder how Miss Angel next door is doing now? Su Qing returned to her apartment and stared at the plaque that read "Shiina Family" and couldn't help but think about it.
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening came, and the angel opened the gates of heaven and descended to the mortal world.
Su Qing was taken aback for a moment. Was it really such a coincidence? She quickly realized what was happening and greeted him.
"Good afternoon, Shiina-kun. How is your recovery going?"
"Su Qingjun, thanks to you, as you can see, I am feeling much better today after taking the medicine."
The girl's sweet and friendly voice reached my ears. Today, she was wearing a white top with a brown vest over it, and a matching short skirt, showing off her youthful beauty.
Beneath the short skirt were a pair of long, straight legs, which appeared even more slender under the black stockings. In the sunlight, one could vaguely see the snow-white thighs beneath the black stockings, which aroused curiosity and made people want to get closer to take a closer look.
Su Qing swallowed hard, realizing she must be hungry.
If you're a gloomy, shut-in type, you might fantasize about just chatting here to deepen your relationship and then having a sweet "about my love affair with my neighbor, the angel lady" story.
Fortunately, Su Qing was a normal person. What normal person would chat in front of a door? So Su Qing replied, "That's great," and turned to open the door to end the conversation.
"Wait, Su Qingjun... if I may ask, is that your dinner that you're holding tonight?"
Shiina Mahiru was clearly not going to let this conversation end so easily. What a joke! Shiina Mahiru had specifically gone out to wait for Su Qing to refresh the page!
Even though I don't know why I should wait for him, it's always good to express my gratitude for his care yesterday, right?
As for how she knew when Su Qing would return, Shiina Mahiru herself wasn't sure. She just remembered that Su Qing had "picked her up" yesterday, and guessed that Su Qing would return around the same time. Therefore, Shiina Mahiru checked the time several times!
Actually, Shiina Mahiru had planned to leave early and wait in front of Su Qing's house for a while, but she didn't expect to see him as soon as she opened the door...
Therefore, we can see that there are no such things as the encounters and meetings in light novels. Everything is just 70% careful planning and 30% pure coincidence...
"Huh?" Su Qing was stunned by the question. How did you find out, girl? Actually, Su Qing thought about the same thing.
After all, Su Qing can't cook. Would she starve to death if she didn't eat these things? As for learning to cook? Su Qing was too lazy to bother. "If I blow up the kitchen, will you be responsible for cleaning up after me? Unbelievable!"
Of course, Su Qing also had a Plan B, which was to order takeout. However, for some reason, seeing the girl's expression that seemed to say, "Why are you eating this junk food again?", Su Qing wisely confessed.
"Um, that, well... if nothing unexpected happens, it should be...?"
He sounded a little guilty, much like a primary school teacher holding up two identical assignments and demanding, "Tell me, who copied whom?!"
And you, at this moment, are feeling ashamed of yourself for being so engrossed in the joy of the game yesterday.
What exactly did you do yesterday?!
……
The angel gave an "I knew it" look, sighed, and said helplessly:
"Wait here for me, I'll be right back."
Before Su Qing could speak, Shiina Mahiru jogged back to her room and came out a short while later with two lunchboxes in her hands.
"I made this. Here, remember to eat well and get enough nutrition!"
Wow, what's with this "old mother" vibe?
No, Su Qing is an orphan, what would he know? But when Su Qing took the lunchbox and felt the slight warmth from his fingertips, he felt a little touched.
"Is this okay? Is there no problem?"
"What do you mean? Are you worried I'll poison you?"
"Oh, no... it's just that if you gave it to me, you should still have some to eat, right?"
Having never been to the kitchen makes all the difference; the things she says sound silly. Su Qing realized the stupidity of her words as soon as they left her mouth.
Pfft. The angel was amused. "Oh, so you were worried about me? You really are a gentle person, truly different from others..."
Shiina Mahiru smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said in a playful tone, "Don't worry, it's always easy to make too much when you're cooking for one person. Take it."
Seeing that Su Qing still wanted to say something, Shiina Mahiru said urgently, "Just consider it as your way of repaying me for taking care of me yesterday. It's nothing."
Su Qing nodded. He hadn't meant to refuse, but Shiina Mahiru interrupted him and he forgot what he was going to say.
After thanking him, he turned to leave, but then he remembered something.
"Shiina, although you're almost fully recovered today, it would be better if you could take another day off tomorrow to observe further."
"Okay, thank you for your concern, I will."
……
After the conversation ended, Shiina Mahiru watched Su Qing enter the room, remained there for a while, and did not answer immediately.
Staring at Su Qing's house, he pondered inwardly. It seemed that Su Qing was not the type to cook, so he would let himself repay her properly.
Hmm... Should I repay her? How long should I repay her...? Shiina Mahiru fell into thought again.
……
Hmm... a reward? You've really been a huge help. After finishing her meal, Su Qing thought about Yui's comments about the angel that morning and thought to herself, "As expected of an angel, even her cooking is so delicious."
Then I understood. Japan starts offering home economics classes from elementary school. Compared to mainland China, Japanese women place more emphasis on training themselves as housewives. This is related to the fact that in Japanese families, the husband usually works outside while the wife stays at home as a full-time housewife.
However, this is actually because Japanese law stipulates that if both parties work, additional taxes will be levied, while if only one party works, taxes will be reduced accordingly.
Furthermore, even in the same job with identical conditions, women often earn less than men.
If women go to work, after factoring in additional taxes, the total household income will hardly change, and may even decrease.
Su Qing was somewhat disgusted by this kind of law, which almost forcibly deprived others of their right to choose. However, this was a deeply ingrained concept in Japan, and Su Qing was powerless to change it.
Moreover, in many cases, it is not the legal system that chooses to deprive people, but rather the people themselves who choose to give up.
Chapter 11 Yuigahama Yui Wants to Do Her Best
The next morning, Su Qing woke up from her sleep, feeling excited.
Oh my, today is the perfect day to pick up my school uniform!
Frankly speaking, it's only when you truly enter society that you'll start to miss the time you spent in school, whether it's a person from school or specific events.
Although some people said that the three years of high school could be incredibly stressful, and that you'd be working yourself to the bone like a dog every day, Su Qing learned in college that it was possible to work yourself to the bone every day, and not even know what you were busy with...
When I was young, I mistakenly thought it was a cage and desperately wanted to escape. When I grew up, I found that it was actually paradise. But no matter what, I can never go back.
However, it's also possible that people tend to overlook what they already have, and only when they lose it do they realize how wonderful those things are, and then desperately try to get them back.
But they will only find in horror that, like grasping sand, no matter how hard you try, you can only watch it slip through your fingers, and it's all in vain...
This may be why people are always willing to dwell on the past, because the past is irreversible, and what people are standing on is the present.
So, what about Su Qing, who is back in college?
It is important to understand that this world operates on the principle of absolute exchange; for every gain, there is a loss.
Su Qing came into this world, became young, and returned to one of the most beautiful periods of his life. So, what did he lose? Or rather, is it that he hasn't yet paid the price?
No, it has already been demanded.
What Su Qing lost was the life of a wage slave, clocking in and out every day.
Thinking of this, Su Qing brought up that strange panel again, but it still contained the same information, with no changes.
After a moment of silence, Su Qing decided to give up thinking.
The wisdom of our ancestors told him, "Since you're here, make the best of it." How much worse could things get? Since he couldn't come up with any conclusions, he simply stopped thinking about it.
I just hope to relive my college years and experience more interesting things.
……
Su Qing didn't go for his morning run today, but instead arrived at school early to pick up his custom-made school uniform. Yes, it was custom-made. If you asked, Su Qing could only say that's how it is in Japan, and the uniforms are ridiculously expensive.
He thought 200 yuan was too expensive for a set of school uniforms in the mainland before he transmigrated, mainly because the quality was mediocre and the color combinations were often awful...
In Japan, while the styles are indeed nice, they are also really expensive. However, the tens of millions of yen in his bank account mean he doesn't have to worry too much.
He went to the changing room and changed his clothes. Since Su Qing had asked him to wash them first, and he was in a hurry to wear them, the factory said, "We're only responsible for making them for you, not washing them!"
But when Su Qing asked for more labor fees, the factory said, "The customer is God, and we follow God's guidance in everything."
Su Qing didn't say anything about this, because at this moment he was the noble client, the kind of client who would redo something with just one phone call, and wouldn't ask so many questions.
In other words, I am God!
Su Qing nodded in satisfaction, looking in the mirror in the changing room. He felt the fabric was soft and smooth, and the clothes fit perfectly. He even thought he looked a bit more handsome.
No, it must be psychological. You have to understand that even a slight exertion of one's own power is already the limit of human appearance; theoretically, external factors shouldn't be able to enhance it further.
After indulging in some daydreams, Su Qing returned to the classroom.
……
"Wow, Su Qingjun looks so handsome in his school uniform!"
"Yeah, yeah, he seems to have the air of a noble young master!"
"So handsome, I love him!"
"What? Su Qingjun is actually wearing a school uniform. I thought he was just showing off by not wearing a school uniform."
"Hey, Daishi, what are you talking about? I think you're just jealous of others!"
The boys in the class wanted to argue, "Is that all? Do I need to argue?"
School uniforms? Everyone has them! I could wear one too! But after looking at Su Qing and then at myself, tsk, it must be because of the school uniform, right?
Su Qingjun, please let me try on your school uniform, I'll do anything...!
Su Qing understands and is used to the girls in her class acting crazy as usual, but what's wrong with these guys?!
Su Qing felt a chill and laughed as she brushed them off one by one.
What the hell... Did they all go on vacation to X°? Get back to work and increase the birth rate for our great China, you bastards!
"Hey, hello, Kiyoshi!" Yui Yuigahama arrived late today, and as if she had seen something, she suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, Kiyoshi, you're actually wearing a school uniform!"
"What are you saying? Are you even speaking human language?"
"It's too much to say I'm not human. Xiaoqing didn't wear her school uniform on the first day, and she thought you were giving her special treatment."
Honestly, I never said you weren't human. Don't just make up all the details in your head!
Su Qing felt that Yui Yuigahama had the potential to become a Dao Emperor by writing urban fantasy novels on the Tomato platform.
But does this mean my deskmate Yui has the aura of an emperor?
Su Qing retaliated with a chop to the forehead, hitting Yui squarely on the forehead.
The saying "With no woman in his heart, he draws his sword with divine power" is vividly demonstrated at this moment.
"Ouch, ouch! You're too rough, Kiyoshi!" Yui Yuigahama cried out in feigned pain.
"Your acting is so fake, Yui. I didn't even put in much effort."
After explaining it to the girl briefly, Yui finally understood, then stuck out her tongue and said with a grin.
"I didn't know, it's all Xiaoqing's fault, she didn't tell me."
Faced with the girl's unreasonable behavior, Su Qing forgave her because she was so cute, and said a few perfunctory words - "Hey hey hey, I'll definitely do it next time."
Despite having just been chopped in the hand and now being so obviously dismissed, Yui Yuigahama couldn't get angry.
For some reason, looking at the boy's outstanding features, with a pair of mysterious, jewel-like pupils set in his flawless, handsome face, Yui Yuigahama felt as if she were being drawn into them.
The morning sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Su Qing's face and making one want to get closer and touch it. Combined with her school uniform, it added an air of mystery and elegance to her overall appearance.
I feel like Xiao Qing is even more handsome today than yesterday~ Speaking of which, Xiao Qing even had physical contact with me today, and he was also being perfunctory. I heard that being perfunctory is a sign of a good friendship. Does this mean that my relationship with Xiao Qing is even better than yesterday?
Yay! Yui Yuigahama, keep it up! Let's keep pushing forward with this spirit!
Yui Yuigahama wins today!
