Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to keep a distant relationship with outsiders just because of other people's eyes and thoughts?

That would only mean that the original relationship was just like that.”

Su Qing sighed lightly. They were not celebrities who had to avoid private fans. Their current identities were just ordinary students. Why did they need to be so vigilant?

"I, that's not what I meant... I'm just worried that you'd be bothered by my unauthorized contact..."

"Like disrupting your daily routine at school..."

Mahiru didn't expect Su Qing to say that. Her watery eyes were filled with panic. Because of worry, her already pleasant voice became softer than usual, which could further arouse men's desire to protect her.

"Of course I know you don't mean that, otherwise you wouldn't come to me like this." Su Qing shook his head. He wouldn't get angry about this kind of thing, and continued,

"Besides, whatever you want to do is of your own free will. You don't need my consent at all."

"Meaning...can I come to you like this more often?"

Mahiru's eyes sparkled, her surprise evident in her expression.

"Well, isn't that obvious? Besides, why would I be bothered by you coming to me?"

Su Qing nodded and responded with a smile.

"……Yeah?"

"Do not lie to you."

Mahiru thought it was great that she had the courage to look for Su Qing today. It was as if a huge stone had finally fallen from her heart. Her body and mind were indescribably relaxed, and a smile of relief and relief appeared on her face.

"I'm a little thirsty, would you like to go buy a bottle of water with me?"

Su Qing first looked around, stood up and patted his pants, and invited Mahiru to buy some water together. While he was thirsty, he also wanted to avoid the crowd. After all, ignoring the gazes and accepting them were two different things.

"okay."

Mahiru nodded in agreement and smiled on her pretty face. It was a different smile from the one she deliberately pretended to have at school. It was closer to the gentle smile she showed when she was alone with Su Qing. It was incredibly lethal to both boys and girls.

The angel's coming to the mortal world is no joke.

"Um...Although it may be a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask if you two are dating?"

A female voice stopped the two of them, and when they turned around, they saw a girl with freckles.

"No, we are not dating."

Although the other party used the word "you", a pair of eyes eager for an answer were staring straight at Su Qing. It was as if the map of Yan State was too short and the real purpose was revealed.

So it was natural for Su Qing to give the answer.

"Really? But I see the moods of the two of you..."

The girl with freckles thought that Su Qing and the others were too embarrassed to admit it. Just now, she felt that they were not friends, right? Therefore, she was a little unsure.

"It's true. We are just friends now and we are not dating."

Seeing that the other party interrupted his time with Su Qing, Mahiru frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, but still explained patiently.

“I see… That’s great, Reina. It looks like there’s still hope for you…”

No one knew what the freckled girl was mumbling to herself. Although Su Qing and Mahiru could hear it clearly, they were confused by what she said. Without waiting for them to ask anything, the former quickly bowed and thanked her, then trotted away.

"Do you know that girl named Reina?" After all, Su Qing had just transferred to the school not long ago, and since he didn't specifically look for the roster to remember it, it was impossible for him to know her.

"Hmm...it seems like she's a very famous girl in Class E of the sophomore year? But it's not ruled out that there are other people with the same name." Mahiru thought for a moment and said.

"Well...never mind, let's go."

When it comes to strange things like this, Su Qing takes a Buddhist approach.

After walking for a while, Mahiru suddenly said:

"Is it possible that the Reina she mentioned wants to confess her love to you?"

“Why do you say that suddenly?”

"Because...didn't that person just come up to us and ask about our relationship as soon as he saw us leaving?" Mahiru gave her own reasons and analyzed.

"In fact, the possibility you mentioned is quite high."

In that situation at that time, this was actually the first possibility that Su Qing thought of.

"Then...if it's really Reina from Class E in the sophomore year who confesses to you, will you agree?" Mahiru's voice was clearly nervous.

"Why do you want to emphasize that it's Reina from Class E of the sophomore year?" Su Qing didn't rush to answer, but asked instead.

"Because... because that person is said to be the class beauty of Class E or something..."

"Just because of this?" Mahiru's reason was so direct that Su Qing couldn't help laughing.

Being confessed to by the class beauty is a dream come true for many teenage boys. Of course, the premise is that they are not exhausted by homework and exams.

"So...will you agree..."

For some reason, from the moment the freckled girl appeared, Mahiru suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart, especially when the other person's eyes were staring at Su Qing almost without any concealment.

After asking about the relationship between the two, Mahiru even had the illusion that the other party would confess in the next second.

Good news: the other party didn’t confess.

Bad news: The person who confessed is most likely someone else.

Thinking of this, Mahiru couldn't help but clench her hands.

"I won't agree to that."

(Mahiru lets go of her hand)

"Really... let's go then."

Upon hearing this, Mahiru relaxed a lot and his steps became lighter.

However, she still did not let go of the vigilance in her heart, but deepened it. Then, as if she had thought of something, she secretly glanced at Su Qing, and slipped away like a thief before she could look at the other person.

When Su Qing first entered school, everything was fine. At most, he just caused a stir in Class C and one or two nearby classes, and then there was no news.

However, he won first place in the joint entrance examination of three schools with an overwhelming victory, and made such a handsome speech at the commendation meeting. During this period of time, Su Qing's popularity has almost remained high.

Because the two classes were adjacent to each other, many girls in Mahiru's class went to Class C to "spy on information."

After learning from the girls in Class C that Su Qing often patiently solved their problems and explained them in a simple and easy-to-understand way, they first expressed a series of complex emotions such as envy, jealousy and hatred in Class C, and then ran back to their own class and started to talk to the girls who didn't go, "Hey, do you know? Su Qing from the class next door..."

The topics among girls are often so plain and simple. In addition, because girls have a wide social circle, Mahiru even heard that Su Qing ranked first in the [Most Wanted Male in Sobu High School Sophomore Class]...

I don't know why, but every time I hear this, I always have a sour feeling in my heart, as if my own treasure has been discovered by everyone, and then coveted by everyone... In short, this feeling is not good.

Hmm——I want Su Qing to touch my head again...

Mahiru secretly thought: Su Qing is really bad. He used patting on the head to make me addicted, so that now I am more and more dependent on him...

"Hey, Xiaoqing? Hello frog!"

At this moment, a lively and cheerful female voice paused Mahiru's thoughts.

……

PS: Xue's mother will be online in a while. Without destroying the heartwarming scene of loving mother and filial daughter, the conflict between the protagonist and her should be quite big, which is equivalent to writing Xue's mother as a half villain.

The original Oregairu has always been committed to the strange phenomenon of "no villains in the team", but this work doesn't like that.

I hope you understand.
