Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

I admit that our Zhuobao is like this, even calling him "Qingbao" is so cute~

Su Qing said nothing, but just smiled gently and rubbed her little face.

"Hmm~~ What the hell~~"

Mahiru was shaking her head as she was rubbed, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she narrowed her eyes into narrow slits in happiness, making her even more lovable.

"Nothing, I'm just surprised you called me that. After all, you always used honorifics to address everyone before."

(Note: The honorifics of island countries are reflected in the tone of voice, which is difficult to translate and reflect in Chinese)

"Ah, that's right..."

Mahiru heard the curiosity in Su Qing's words, and suddenly lowered his eyes slightly, then quickly raised them again and asked:

"Do you want to... know why?"

"Say something terrible. I want to know everything about you if I can."

Su Qing hugged Mahiru, who was sitting on the chair, from behind, and their faces were suddenly very close.

The man's hot breath made the girl's nose feel a little itchy.

"Well...it's not that scary, if it's you...but my reasons might be a little childish, right?"

Mahiru lowered her eyes and said with some difficulty.

"It seems like I need to teach you some Neon language next time. Instead of 'childish', it should be 'cute', right?"

It's really confusing. Who between the two of us is Japanese?

Eh, Su Qing’s scores in all subjects, including Japanese, are higher than hers?

That’s okay!

(Sad~)

Mahiru thought indignantly, then a look of nostalgia appeared on her face.

"That's right. When children use honorifics, don't they seem to be well-behaved and sensible?"

"I understand. It's pretty much the same in mainland China."

Su Qing thought about it and realized that the sweet-talking children on the mainland could often coax adults into submission.

Human psychology is essentially child psychology.

"But this is only one of the reasons. The main reason is because of Aunt Xiaoxue.

I don't think I've ever told you about her, have I? She was the domestic nanny my family hired when I was a child.

In my memory, she was a very outstanding woman, with elegant manners.

I used to admire her very much, so I started to learn her words and deeds little by little.

Oh, by the way, she taught me my cooking skills. I think she knew that I would move out and live alone sooner or later, so she took the trouble to teach me the skills to live alone.

I am really, really grateful to her..."

Since moving out to live alone, Mahiru hasn't contacted Aunt Koyuki for a long time.

The other person also has his or her own life, and she is just a client.

The mist rising from the cup made Mahiru's eyes slightly moist.

To her, Aunt Xiaoxue is more like a guardian and mother.

"If we have a chance in the future, let's go visit her together. I think she will be very happy to see how outstanding you are now, and I also want to thank her properly."

Su Qing kissed Mahiru and suggested.

He doesn't know much about Aunt Xiaoxue.

He only had a general understanding of the other party's family background, and he could only speculate on the more detailed things himself.

"I-We together? And what are you thanking for?"

Mahiru replied, not sure whether in surprise or delight.

"I'm your boyfriend, so of course we should be together. As for thanking her, I should thank her for raising such a lovely person like you and letting me meet you."

Su Qing pretended to be dissatisfied with Zhenri's doubts, and took the girl's hand, and then intertwined their fingers.

It's like making a promise, a promise that we will never separate.

"Well...if there's a chance..."

Mahiru nodded solemnly, thinking, isn't this just meeting the parents?

Flustered, she took another sip of coffee and began to change the subject, asking curiously:

"Do you like me calling you that? Or is it better to call you something else?"

"I like it. I like it no matter how you call me."

Su Qing responded without thinking.

"Really? You like it when I call you an idiot or something?"

Mahiru confirmed again with some doubt.

Does my boyfriend have some weird habit?!

"As long as it's you, anything is fine."

Su Qing lowered his voice and whispered in the girl's ear, as if it was a huge secret.

Mahiru's pretty face turned slightly red after hearing this. She thought for a long time but didn't know what to say in response. In the end, she had to use body movements instead of words.

While Su Qing wasn't paying attention, she secretly kissed the side of his face.

Then she stared at him with a pair of childish, cute and willful eyes, her cherry-pink lips moved slightly and she murmured softly:

"Qingbao is the most cunning one, he always says these words to tempt me!"

……

After a while, Mahiru finished her coffee in small sips. Seeing that Su Qing was still staring at her with a smile on his face, she looked away a little and asked nervously:

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing, it's just that you are the first person to taste the coffee I brewed, and I thought it would be better if you could give me some suggestions so that I can improve it next time."

"Well, I'm honored to hear that."

Mahiru thought she had heard good news and hummed happily, then put down the empty cup, thought carefully for a while and said:

"Although I don't know much about coffee, I think the one you brew is no worse than the ones sold outside. Most importantly, the sweetness is just right for me."

Although she doesn't reject the bitter taste of coffee, she definitely prefers sweet coffee.

“It would be great if the coffee is tailor-made for you and suits your taste.”

Su Qing smiled easily, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"But next time...would you try adding a little less sugar?"

Mahiru suddenly said shyly.

“Afraid of getting fat?”

This was the only reason Su Qing could think of that could prevent girls from consuming sugar.

"Recently... I've been eating too much sweets..."

Mahiru puffed her lips slightly and pinched her belly angrily.

Don't get too fat!

"As you wish."

Su Qing had no reason to refuse, since it was up to him to decide what to do.

The two chatted for a while before they remembered the "business" that Mahiru had originally come into the room to do.

"Your luggage... no wonder it feels so light to me..."

Mahiru glanced at the open box and looked at Su Qing with an expression that he couldn't tell whether he was helpless or distressed.

She really didn't know whether to say it was less or simpler.

His luggage consisted of only a set of spare clothes and pajamas, a few pairs of spare socks, and a black bag for small items such as rain gear and chargers.

Is this the case with all boys' luggage?

Or was it that Su Qing's box was too big, and everything was packed too neatly, so that she felt it was too empty?

Mahiru felt as if the other party could pick up the luggage and leave at any time.

It’s not that she wasn’t afraid or worried about Su Qing leaving, but this was not the time to show her anxiety about gains and losses.

The girl just simply feels sorry for the boy.

It was obvious that the boy who had been watching her had given her a hot pack and a lot of delicious snacks the day before the trip, filling her suitcase to the brim.

"Is this the case for all boys' luggage? The hotel has prepared disposable slippers, shower gel and other things in advance. Besides, my luggage only looks small, but I actually have quite a lot of stuff."

Su Qing didn't take it seriously and tried to comfort Mahiru instead. However, the girl disagreed and frowned, saying unhappily:

"I don't care about that, other boys are other boys, and you are you.

Next time you go on a long trip, you have to let me check your suitcases first, and I can only let you go if I say it’s OK!”

"You feel like an old lady."

Su Qing thought for a moment and said.

"Hmm? Do you mean you don't want me to control you?"

Mahiru questioned angrily.

She wasn't angry that the other person said she was like an old woman, but she was angry that she didn't realize it earlier.

If I had known earlier that Su Qing's luggage was like this, I would have stuffed some more things in it no matter what.

Like snacks or something.

"No, I'm happy to be controlled by you."

Su Qing seemed very happy.

It's good to be managed. The only thing is that no one will manage you even if you want to.

Mahiru felt that her behavior just now was quite willful. Although she thought Su Qing would not refuse, she did not expect him to show so much happiness.

"Anyway, anyway, I hope you can be prepared that your luggage will be much heavier than this in the future."

"Well, 45kg is okay?"

Su Qing lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. After a few seconds, he spoke.

“Why 45kg?”

Mahiru blinked in confusion. There was no way they could pack 45kg of luggage, right?

Is this a person that is put in there?

"Your weight plus my luggage and boxes is about this weight."

Su Qing explained.

“My, my, my weight??”

Mahiru's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Well, when I was holding you, I felt your weight, so I can feel your weight."

Su Qing half squatted down, his eyes filled with stars looked so unique and beautiful in the girl's eyes.

Liking is a surface filter, but warm and sincere emotions make this filter go beyond the surface.

“If there is a spontaneous journey, without knowing the way forward, without remembering the way back, and without asking when to return.

I think I always think of you first.

You are my only luggage.

As long as it's you, because it's you, it doesn't matter what happens. I'll feel at ease when you're by my side."
