Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

In the home of the two.

Mahiru, who had cleaned up the dishes with Su Qing, took the lead and sat on the sofa. Then he opened his arms slightly and looked up at the other person.

at the same time.

The night gradually rose from the earth, and a large half moon was slanted in the southwest sky.

Perhaps because it is almost the middle of the month, the moonlight tonight is unusually bright.

The cool light shone through the window and fell right into those glowing eyes.

There seems to be a trace of loneliness lurking quietly, and a bit of nostalgia lingeringly.

But as understandable as always.

Su Qing's eyes suddenly became gentle.

He first hugged the girl gently, then sat next to her, very close to her, and finally asked:

"What's the 'and' part you want to say during lunch break?"

Su Qing has always remembered this incident.

After lunch break, he repeatedly emphasized in his heart that he must listen to the girl's remaining "and more".

Afraid of forgetting something.

Even though I know I will never forget.

"Hah~ the 'and more' part?"

Mahiru smiled in surprise at first, then blinked several times and sounded unexpectedly guilty.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to talk about it?"

Su Qing was keenly aware of her reaction, and his expression froze for a moment, before he asked back in a daze and awkward manner.

That shouldn't be the case, right?

......

Sure enough, he should have let Mahiru continue talking.

People's desire to share has a shelf life.

If you can't express yourself when things are at their highest or second highest point, they will probably gradually die out.

Su Qing was clear about this.

But it may not be that clear.

"No, did you misunderstand something?"

Mahiru was also observing Su Qing's expression. When she saw him showing such an abnormal expression, she quickly held his hand tightly.

"It's not that I don't want to say it. But the reason I don't say it is a bit... embarrassing."

"shame?"

After Su Qing calmed down, his eyes were full of confusion.

He seemed to have forgotten how to breathe just now, it was horrifying.

"Well... I was just so happy to see my boyfriend that I forgot everything I wanted to say during lunch break."

Mahiru spoke shyly, her cheeks tinged with a light pink, like cherry blossom petals in early spring.

This was indeed something difficult for the young girl to talk about, as she had clearly promised her boyfriend at noon that she would continue to talk about it in the evening.

But the words I originally wanted to say seemed to have been washed away by the joy of meeting each other.

Or maybe it had already disappeared with that one sentence, “My boyfriend, I like you so much.”

strangeness.

I seemed to be able to say a lot in one breath at noon, but now I can't say anything.

The concrete love can shock people to the point of being speechless, and even their desire to share will be crushed.

Mahiru soon came up with the answer in her mind.

——Because she was holding hands with her [Answer].

Warm.

Fingers interlocked.

It makes people not want to let go.

"Is that why?"

Su Qing chuckled, and when he spoke again, even the air felt a lot fresher.

—He knew how to breathe again.

"Just because of this..."

Mahiru nodded slightly, then patted the other person lightly with her other hand, looked away, and said in a somewhat unreasonable manner as if in protest,

"No, it's not just this."

Su Qing thought that the other party's unreasonable and self-contradictory behavior was just a show of affection. He found it funny and continued to ask:

"Is that right or wrong?"

"...Actually, I can't really tell."

As soon as Mahiru finished speaking, she felt a gentle force acting on her shoulders, causing her to involuntarily lean slightly to the other side.

Then, she rested her head gently on Su Qing's shoulder.

"If you can't tell me, don't tell me. But it shouldn't be anything important, right?"

The scent of the girl's hair lingers at the tip of my nose. With a gentle sniff, the unique fragrance of the girl seeps into my heart.

The left hand I was holding was the girl's left hand, and with a slight squeeze, I could truly feel her warmth.

The boy hugged his beloved girl, and then he owned the whole world.

Mahiru did not answer immediately, but raised her eyes, held his face with her hands, and asked unhappily and worriedly:

"You haven't answered me yet. What bad things were you thinking about just now?"

She knew very well that the boy in front of her must be overthinking.

Although it was only for a moment, it seemed like an illusion.

But that was the first time she saw such an uneasy look on his usually calm face.

".....I thought you didn't want to talk to me because it's been so long."

Su Qing rarely avoided his gaze, and he couldn't explain why.

"Idiot. Only a few hours have passed. You call that long? You're such an idiot!"

Mahiru called the word "idiot" twice in a row, but didn't blame him too much.

In fact, she was saying that she was stupid and shouldn't have used such a misleading statement. It was her fault.

But it's common sense that if you do something wrong you should be compensated, right?

Mahiru suddenly had an idea.

But then again, how long is long?

Perhaps for Su Qing, even a short period of time without seeing Mayu seemed a bit long.

But he didn't have time to think about it.

The next moment, Mahiru held his face and gently pressed her rosy and soft lips against his.

The smooth touch was fleeting, accompanied by the girl's soft whispers.

"...It's my fault for making you misunderstand. But you should not think too much about it in the future.

Because nothing is important to me, the most important thing is you.

So after you accept my compensation, you must remember what I said now!"

Mahiru twisted her body slightly, with ripples of shyness in her eyes.

For the girl, what she just said was nothing more than the difference between "The moonlight is so beautiful" and "I like you".

But is there a difference?

There will be no difference.

"...I remember every word you said very clearly."

"Eh? That's going to be tiring, right?...I'm happy, but don't force yourself."

"Well, it's up to you."

Su Qing nodded, then gently rested his forehead against Mahiru's.

Just when the other party's face was full of tension, he asked softly:

"So, is it called compensation when a girlfriend kisses her boyfriend? Isn't it natural?"

"So, what do you want to do?"

Mahiru's breathing gradually became rapid, and her charming voice trembled slightly, but there was a hint of anticipation.

Hence, it becomes even more attractive.

"Can you breathe?"

Su Qing suddenly said something seemingly irrelevant, but it made Mahiru's breathing pause for a moment.

After a while, she tried hard to suppress her heartbeat that was beating like a deer, and responded in a very low voice:

“T-Try it…”

Before he could finish his words, Mahiru had already lost the chance to continue speaking.
