Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

After entering December, Su Qing suddenly felt that everything seemed to be on the right track.

First, I don’t have to worry about Yui anymore, and then “Ultra Beast Armor” sold well in the first week.

For him now, the only thing he had to pay attention to was Mahiru's birthday which was in a few days.

As he was thinking, Su Qing held his cheek and turned to look at Yui who was standing beside him.

To be honest, the girl has been studying very hard recently. For example, after class she is still sitting in her seat reading... a book?

“…Isn’t this my comic?”

Su Qing frowned slightly, moved closer to see the comics that the girl was trying to cover under her arm, and said with certainty.

"The school didn't say we couldn't bring comics to read."

Yui flinched suddenly, and the back of her neck turned pink.

After being discovered by Su Qing, she suddenly felt like a social dead end.

The original author is right in front of you, shouldn’t he be the one who is embarrassed?

"I didn't say anything." Su Qing sighed and asked casually, "There aren't many girls who watch this kind of stuff, right? What do you think?"

"I can't find any fault with it, I think it's great!" Yui praised generously.

Unexpectedly, Su Qing thought about it and said, "Well...it is indeed a bit difficult to ask you this kind of question."

"What do you mean?" the girl was mad, "Be careful or your girlfriend and I will tell on you and make you kneel on a durian!"

Su Qing glanced at Yui and shrugged indifferently, "She won't do that. If you want to try, you can go."

Yui puffed her lips but didn't say anything. She just snorted coldly and turned her head to continue reading the comics.

That means I'm too lazy to argue with the human-machine Xiaoqing.

Su Qing looked at her with a smile, as if he was teasing a small animal.

Because Yui wasn't really angry, he asked directly:

"By the way, did you know that December 12th is Mahiru's birthday?"

"Huh? Is this true? She didn't even tell me about this!" Yui quickly turned her head back.

"Given her personality, it's normal for her not to talk about this, and she didn't tell me either." Su Qing explained.

"That's true... Today is the 3rd, and there are still a few days left. I'll ask Xiaoxue to go pick out gifts with me after school this afternoon." Yui glanced at the calendar on her phone and counted the days on her fingers.

"Just give her a gift if you want to. You don't have to choose something expensive. In fact, anything will do. She's not picky." Su Qing said.

"OK." Yui nodded and asked caringly, "Is there anything else I can do?"

Seeing Su Qing's surprised expression, she also smiled and said, "I don't know you yet. You must have something you want to ask of me, so you specifically mentioned this to me, right?"

The girl's smile was like cherry blossoms dipped in milk, soft and beautiful.

Su Qing's heart trembled suddenly, and his brain became a little confused, but it was only for a moment, as if it were an illusion.

This strange feeling...what's going on?

Without time to think about it, Su Qing's face showed no strangeness. She just said, "There is something that really requires your help. I need you to ask Mahiru out on the 6th, in the name of a girls' dinner or something like that... I need some time to decorate the house."

This is the downside of semi-cohabitation with your girlfriend. There is less room to prepare surprises.

"Want to go out and play? I understand. Just leave it to me." Yui patted her chest and promised solemnly.

The smile on her face remained unchanged, but there was inevitably a hint of sadness in her heart, but it was quickly buried in other emotions.

The person you like wants to celebrate your girlfriend's birthday. It's impossible to say that you have no idea about it.

But that was just subconscious. For Yui now, she would rather watch silently - with a prayerful mood.

"Don't force yourself if you don't have time. I have other ways." Su Qing stared at Yui for a while and suddenly said.

What he said was true, he just gave priority to the most appropriate method.

"It's okay. It was Saturday and I was just sitting at home doing nothing anyway." Yui said with a smile.

"Well..." Su Qing retracted his gaze and said softly, "If you are still interested in the following content, I can give it to you. This is the right of the writer, so you don't have to pay for it."

Yui was shocked. "Hey, writers are so cunning! Is it possible to be like this?"

"Others may not know, but I can do it anyway." Su Qing smiled helplessly, "By the way, your focus is quite strange?"

"Tsk, then what should I focus on? Besides, if it can be delivered for free, shouldn't it be delivered earlier?" Yui protested angrily.

"You didn't say you wanted it."

"cut."

Yui pouted, and didn't say whether she wanted it or not. She just lowered her head and silently closed the comic in her hand, and then her fingertips gently stroked a character on the cover.

After a while, the girl asked in a low voice:

"Well... if you want to give it as a gift, do you have the kind signed by the author himself?"

"Isn't it easy to sign something in person? If I want to give it to you, I'll give it to you. It's not worth much." Su Qing smiled and said indifferently.

"Even if it's not worth much, it's still amazing. I can then post it online to show off that I have a complete set of comics signed by Mr. [Canghu]." When Yui raised her eyes again, a smile as clear as fresh snow spread in her eyes, "Don't you think so, Mr. Canghu~~~"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I won't give it to you. I'll keep the money to earn more sets." Su Qing said.

"It can't be true! Didn't it just expose your vest?" The girl opened her mouth in disbelief.

"The two most embarrassing things in the world are: the first is being called by your real name online, and the second is being called by your online name in real life," said Su Qing.

"But isn't this a pen name?" Yui asked hesitantly.

Is there any difference between a pen name and an online name?

“…There is no difference. They are all the same.”

“Oh, okay.” Yui nodded, not quite understanding. She wasn’t a writer anyway, so she didn’t need to think about these things.

"Then are you going to give it to me? A comic book is really expensive!"

When Yui thought about the price of this comic book, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Actually, she didn't want to buy it, but this was the last copy left in the bookstore that day!

Since she had some pocket money, she bought it with the intention of boosting Xiaoqing's sales.

It is definitely not because of curiosity or some other weird reasons!!

But after buying it, Yui was still quite glad.

Because it sold so well, even the publishing house was caught off guard and the number of copies printed could not keep up with the speed of sales.

This gave the damn scalpers an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and increase the price several times.

Damn it, the scalpers who speculate on the prices will definitely double the price when you go out to buy vegetables!

"Give it to you. By the way, bring this one over for signing when the time comes." Su Qing said with a smile, "Anyway, the contents in the following part will only become more and more philosophical. I don't think you will understand it very well."

This is not because Su Qing looks down on Yui's intelligence.

For topics like this, the audience is mainly male.

Unexpectedly, the girl was not angry. She just held the comic book gently in her arms and looked at Su Qing quietly.

"...What's wrong?" Su Qing was silent after being stared at, and began to avoid his gaze, which was rare.

He didn't like this feeling very much. In that brief moment, he couldn't even control his body.

Like a drowning man sinking in the deep sea.

"Nothing." The girl shook her head, and the pink ball on her head trembled like a flower.

then.

Her smile is peaceful and her voice is as gentle as early blooming cherry blossoms.

"I just feel that Xiaoqing is... pretty good to me~"

It was still snowing outside the window at that time.

Under a thin mist.

The falling snow fills the tips of the dead branches like cherry blossoms, blooming grandly and beautifully.

Will the cherry blossoms next spring be like this?

Su Qing turned his head hastily, thinking this with a trembling heart.
