Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

Mahiru couldn't help but think about it sometimes.

If it were someone else, how would you express "You are not alone"?

I will tell her directly:

You are not alone, I am still with you.

Or just hold her hand without saying a word.

It all sounds good, doesn’t it?

But that's just what it sounds like.

Because I have never had it, even just hearing about it feels happy.

Mahiru didn't understand before, but she understood more and more after meeting Su Qing.

Understand [cunning].

Because Su Qing always does things that make her heart beat faster.

Understand [despicable].

Because Su Qing always stared at her with those beautiful eyes, making her fall in love with him.

I also understood... [happiness].

Because as long as you stay with Su Qing, you can truly feel it.

That's all.

?

"Qingjun."

Mahiru's quiet voice rang out in the supermarket.

"what happened?"

Su Qing replied immediately.

"There's a Chinese zodiac in the mainland, and I think you belong to the Rabbit sign."

Although it was a question, Mahiru sounded very confident.

It seems that this statement has been confirmed.

"Hmm... I think you are born in the Year of the Monkey. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Su Qing smiled. He had gone to the hospital to measure his bone age, so he could figure out what year he was born.

"You were born in the year of the monkey? I see..." Mahiru pinched her chin, looking thoughtful, "Monkeys are also very clever animals. No wonder you are so [cunning]."

"So you just associated me with the cunning rabbit with three burrows?"

Su Qing couldn't help laughing, somewhat impressed by Mahiru's imagination.

"Understanding. That's what I mean." Mahiru's eyes flashed with joy. Perhaps she was afraid that Su Qing would not be convinced, so she asked back, "Isn't it like this?"

"Did I just do something that strikes you as dodgy?"

Knowing that Mahiru already knew, Su Qing simply played dumb.

"You could have just said, 'You, you and I' at the beginning..."

"Why are you still stuttering? You, you and I are still here..."

Su Qing interrupted Mahiru and said it in her tone.

"Don't interrupt!"

Mahiru pouted. She wanted to pretend to be angry, but Su Qing imitated her speech so vividly that she couldn't help laughing.

She could only pat Su Qing coquettishly, her eyes widened, and warned again:

"Don't interrupt me this time!"

Su Qing understood what he meant and simply made a gesture of locking his mouth.

Seeing this, Mahiru nodded with satisfaction and continued to tell the story.

"Anyway. You could have just told me 'You're not alone', but you hinted at me in that way. Don't you think that's... cunning?"

"Hey, that's weird. I just took a broccoli, that's all. Are you overthinking it?"

Su Qing smiled and shook his head, then said in a matter-of-fact tone,

"But of course you're not alone. We came out to buy groceries together, didn't we?"

"of course."

Mahiru nodded in approval.

Su Qing, who was so big, was pushing a cart right next to her.

So, of course, two people!

"You probably haven't tried buying groceries with anyone before, right?" Su Qing asked.

"Um... no."

"So, do you still feel bored coming out with me today?" Su Qing asked again.

“Well…I don’t think so either.”

"So, some things may be boring when done by one person, but not necessarily when done by two people, right?" Su Qing concluded, "But the number of experiments is not enough. I think we should do it a few more times to make it rigorous."

"Eh? How many times do we need to do it to be considered rigorous?"

Mahiru tapped her thin lips with her finger, tilted her head, and asked expectantly.

"The more the better. What do you think?"

After some serious thinking, Su Qing said.

"The more... the better."

Mahiru repeated with some emotion.

[It really sounds like your answer~]

Taking advantage of Su Qing's inattention, she came to his side and coughed twice. When Su Qing turned his gaze to her, she leaned her body and fell towards Su Qing.

It seems to be colliding.

Seems to be relying on.

After only a brief moment of contact, Mahiru immediately regained her balance.

"So it looks like I won't have to push the cart myself anymore?"

"Well. That's about it. So I need you to get used to it quickly."

"Hum~"

Mahiru uttered a few childish moans, her voice as soft as hers.

"I don't need any experiments... It won't be boring when you're here."

Mahiru tried to keep her voice as low as possible, but Su Qing still heard something.

"Did you just say something?"

"No. Did I say anything?"

Mahiru blinked her eyes innocently. She was imitating Su Qing's way of pretending to be stupid.

"Oh, I must have heard wrong."

"Yes. I heard it wrong."

Mahiru emphasized seriously.

[You just played dumb and teased me~~]

Sometimes Mahiru feels that being with Su Qing is a torture!

Just like it is now.

She really wanted to laugh, but for some reason, she had to force herself to hold it back by tightening her face.

At least don't smile too obviously!

Isn’t this a kind of torture?

When you are trying to hold back your laughter, you cannot look at the person involved. You can only look elsewhere to divert your attention.

So when Mahiru was trying hard to purse her lips, she didn't notice that Su Qing had quietly taken two steps towards Mahiru.

"If there are two of us, then we can both prepare the ingredients, right?"

The light words slipped into Mahiru's ears. Su Qing didn't whisper them in her ear. He just took two steps closer, but Mahiru had the illusion that Su Qing was blowing in her ear.

"I, I heard it."

Mahiru thought Su Qing was imitating him and deliberately lowering his voice, so he reminded him.

"I'm telling you this."

Su Qing looked calm. How could he have the feeling of being caught whispering?

"It's just the two of us. Of course I know."

[Ahhh, idiot Su Qing!]

It was obvious that Mahiru's heart was far from being as calm as she appeared.

wrong.

Su Qing couldn't see Mahiru's face now.

Because Mahiru had already lowered her head again without her knowing when.

?

In fact, Mahiru knew the answer from the beginning.

Don't worry about what other people will do.

Because no one will do better than Su Qing.

He seemed to have said nothing, but in fact he had said everything.

and so.

Even though she has repeated it many times, Mahiru never seems to get tired of saying it.

She still wanted to smile, and said seriously, word by word:

"Su Qing, it's [Su Qing]~~"
