Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

"Where are you going?" After hearing the familiar voice, Su Qing knew who the person was without thinking.

He turned his head and saw Yui standing there with a smile on her face, holding a notebook and a pen in her hands, looking like she was writing something down.

"I'm here to get some materials for Xiaoxue." Yui explained, shaking the notebook in her hand.

"Yukinoshita? By the way, did she participate in any events?" Su Qing asked curiously. Although he did not see it with his own eyes last time, Su Qing knew from Hikigaya and others that physical strength was an obvious weakness for Yukinoshita, so Su Qing was really curious about whether she participated in any events.

"Well...Xiaoxue didn't seem to participate in any competition. She was just responsible for some work in this sports festival." Yui thought for a while and replied.

Because all her attention was on Su Qing, and the latter's body blocked Mahiru, Yui was able to observe the "Angel" from the next class up close.

However, why did she feel that the Shiina Mahiru in front of her was different from the one she had seen from afar before? She seemed to have become more friendly.

Is it because of the distance?

Yui looked at Su Qing and asked in confusion: "Hey, isn't this... Shiina-san?"

Hearing Yui's words, Su Qing nodded and replied, "Yes, Mahiru took good care of me. Let me introduce you, this is Yuigahama Yui, my deskmate in Class C." After that, Su Qing moved aside and introduced Yui to Mahiru.

Mahiru nodded slightly, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she said softly: "Hello, Yuigahama-san, I am Shiina Mahiru."

However, after a simple greeting, there was no follow-up communication. Mahiru was always like this with strangers, no... Strictly speaking, it was like this with everyone except Su Qing and Aunt Xiaoxue.

Yui felt a little confused, and muttered to herself: Why do I feel that... the other person seems to be different from before?

Although it seems like I'm smiling, something feels weird...

"We are going to buy some water. Do you want to go with us?" Su Qing invited.

To a certain extent, he still believed in Yui very much. He always felt that some kind of strange chemical reaction would occur when they were together with each other. This could be well demonstrated by the just-mentioned Yukinoshita, so he felt that letting Mahiru try to become friends with Yui should not be a bad move.

After all, the ones he has the best relationships with in this school are Yui and Mahiru. The island is so small, it was only a matter of time before the two of them got to know each other.

As for his relationship with Hikigaya, who is now living alone with Aya, he can only say that he doesn't know him and he has nothing to do with him.

Moreover, in Su Qing's opinion, Mahiru was always pretending to be in school. After all, the appearance she showed at home and the "Angel-sama" at school were not exactly the same, but completely unrelated.

Although people are multifaceted, and it is their choice what image they create in school.

Su Qing had no right and no intention to interfere, but if that was really what the other party wanted, why did he show a lonely expression just now?

The desire to be noticed is essentially a manifestation of loneliness.

So, what is the [source] of Mahiru's loneliness?

So far, Su Qing has only thought of one possible factor, which is family. He wondered if he should find a chance to learn about Mahiru's family...?

"Well... maybe next time. Xiaoxue is still waiting for me."

Because she missed the chance to buy water with Su Qing, Yui Kazilan's big eyes suddenly became tearful. Although she wanted to stay with Su Qing very much, it was obvious that Yui couldn't stand up Yukino.

"That's true. Then you should go quickly." Anyway, there will be many opportunities for the two of them to meet in the future, so Su Qing didn't care if his goal was not achieved.

After Yui said hello to the two and left, Mahiru noticed that Su Qing called Yui directly. She hesitated for a moment, and finally asked curiously:

"Are you close to Yuigahama-san...? I, I don't mean anything special, I'm just a little curious..."

Mahiru, who is acting flustered for some unknown but definitely strange reasons, can be called "real".

Su Qing was moved, because it was not something that needed to be kept secret, so he answered truthfully:

"I do have a good relationship with her, and she is also in the Ministry."

"So... are you dating?" Mahiru asked. She found that she seemed to have no idea about Su Qing's circle of friends...

"Why would you think of that?" Su Qing replied helplessly.

Noticing that Mahiru seemed a little depressed for some reason, and because most people were in the playground and there were not many people around, Su Qingqing raised his hand, touched Mahiru's head out of habit, and said with a smile:

“If you get a chance to spend more time with her, you’ll know she’s a great person.

But right now, we're going to go get some drinks, so I want you to focus on what you're going to drink."

!!!

Three exclamation marks appeared above Mahiru's head. She had just been thinking about finding an opportunity to absorb a wave of energy at the other party's house at night, but she didn't expect that Su Qing would take the initiative to deliver the energy to her door. It was like she was dozing off and hugging a pillow.

"Don't worry, no one is around to see us. Let's go." Su Qing saw that Mahiru was stunned for a moment and mistakenly thought that the other party was worried that someone would see us.

After all, if it were at home, the other person would have shown an extremely comfortable expression like a kitten at this moment.

Stupid Su Qing...I'm not worried about being seen by others.

Mahiru just complained quietly in her heart, then quickly caught up with Su Qing's pace, walking side by side with the latter just like before.

If there was any difference, it was probably that Mahiru's smile was sweeter and gentler than before.

……

A while after Su Qing and Mahiru bought their drinks, Mahiru received a message from the class on her phone.

The general meaning is that there are still some preparations for the sports festival that need help, so Mahiru was approached.

Why did you choose this time...

Mahiru sighed softly, and after seeing the hesitation and entanglement on her face, Su Qing did not make things too difficult for her. He just smiled and told her to do her own thing first.

In response, Mahiru could only nod.

But before leaving, she suddenly lowered her head slightly, motioning Su Qing to touch her again as he did just now. Su Qing was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what was happening and began to caress her gently.

After the plan succeeded, Mahiru left with a satisfied smile.

Su Qing could only smile bitterly. Maybe Mahiru is addicted to being touched on the head by him?

Shaking his head, Su Qing didn't think about it any further, but planned to go back to Class C's base camp to take a look.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere in Class C's headquarters was quite subtle...
