Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

In Shiina's sight, Su Qing's figure slowly approached and gradually occupied her entire pupil.

Just as she blinked in confusion and wanted to ask Su Qing what he was going to do, the next moment, a familiar and somewhat nostalgic warmth coming from the top of her head swept through her whole body from top to bottom.

And because of his perspective, Su Qing clearly saw the look in Shiina's eyes change from astonishment and confusion at the beginning to a slight resistance later, but soon this slight resistance disappeared without a trace.

However, after the subsequent changes, since Shiina quickly lowered her head, Su Qing could no longer observe the expression on her face.

But, if I don’t struggle, does that mean I did nothing wrong?

"Why, why is it so sudden?"

After Su Qing rubbed it gently a few more times, Shiina suddenly asked.

"I saw you slightly bent your head and looked at me with a smile on your face, and I thought..."

In fact, Su Qing couldn't figure out whether he really thought Shiina wanted to be touched on the head after such a long time, or he simply couldn't help but want to touch it because of Shiina's cute appearance.

But there is no point in discussing this anymore. As Shiina said, all this happened too suddenly and inappropriately.

If the previous two or three times of patting the head were justifiable and had reasons, then what about this time? Should I just say I misunderstood?

The most important thing is, will Shiina be angry about this?

When Su Qing thought of this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Why?

Although she knew that Shiina shouldn't be a girl who would get angry about this, why couldn't she help but have such thoughts pop up? And this thought occupied more and more of her mind, so much so that Su Qing felt that the blood flow in her body slowed down a bit, and her body became cold.

Shiina still kept his head down, and his expression could not be seen.

Afterwards, Su Qing decided to take his hand back for some unknown reason.

"Sorry, I misunderstood."

"Wait...! Although, although I didn't want you to do this just now..."

If Su Qing could bend down slightly at this moment, and use his delicate and gentle fingers to gently smooth the hair that fell beside the girl's ears behind her ears, he would be surprised to find that the girl's ears were now as red as the rising morning glow. What's more, the heat seemed to be able to penetrate the skin, conveying an indescribable shyness.

"But, please continue..."

The girl's last words seemed to have used up all of her remaining courage and strength. Her voice trembled involuntarily and eventually turned into an almost inaudible whisper.

Fortunately, Su Qing was still able to vaguely catch the girl's last murmurs.

And just as Su Qing thought, Shiina had not been touched on the head by Su Qing like this for a long time.

In fact, she really liked the feeling.

Su Qing's movements are always gentle yet powerful, like the warm sunshine in spring, gently brushing across her heart, and then like melting snow, bringing endless warmth and peace.

She could also feel his slender fingers inadvertently touching her hair. The delicate and soft touch made her tremble involuntarily, and an indescribable joy burst out in her heart.

Every time at this moment, she couldn't help but think, "If only it could go on like this forever."

So shameful, really so shameful.

Shiina's mind was in a state of confusion right now, and she had been suppressing her inner doubts today, so a lot of strange thoughts suddenly popped up in her mind for no reason.

Am I relying too much on Su Qing?

Even though she was touched on the head so suddenly, she still asked him to continue.

Will he think I'm weird?

But it's really hard to resist.

So, it’s actually Su Qing’s fault…right?

No... blaming others for your own mistakes.

I am really a——

Bad boy...

Just as Shiina was daydreaming, Su Qing suddenly spoke:

"I'm sorry, compared to the food outside, I still like your cooking the best. You may not believe it, but before I met you, I always simply thought that eating was just an inefficient way to replenish the body's energy.

【Why? What does it mean? 】

But it wasn't until that day when you brought me the box of leftover food that I understood why everyone smiled while eating, why we were excited about every sumptuous dish, and why we looked forward to dinner after school.

[I was so glad I gave it to you that time...]

So, when you offered to come to my house to share the food expenses and cook, although I was a little hesitant, there was no doubt that I was secretly delighted in my heart.

[I am also afraid of being rejected by you, and I am secretly happy when you agree]

During these days, I feel a little scared besides being happy. Sometimes I wonder if it would be terrible if I couldn’t eat the food you cooked one day. "

[No...please don't be afraid yet]

The boy's voice suddenly stopped, and Shiina raised his eyes slightly, and saw the other person's pair of eyes that were so beautiful that it was almost unfair that they were staring at him, with tenderness showing between his brows.

He suddenly lowered his eyes, his voice still so gentle and magnetic.

"So, thank you so much for taking care of me all the time."

[No, don't say such things.]

[Are you leaving? Is it because of me? ]

[No, don't go, please don't go? ]

Shiina felt more confused than ever before. Su Qing was right beside her, but the sense of security that she should have felt disappeared like morning mist.

Her heart was overwhelmed by an unfathomable sadness, which seemed to have a physical form, invading every nerve ending of hers, making her blood seem to lose its former smooth flow and become heavy and stagnant.

Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a huge invisible hand. Every beat was accompanied by unspeakable depression and pain, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"do not go……"

Su Qing suddenly felt a warm and real touch spreading from his chest, accompanied by a gentle but firm force. He looked down and saw Shiina's little hands tightly grasping his clothes, and her fingertips were trembling slightly due to nervousness or excitement.

Although the words were trembling and the voice was small, Su Qing could not ignore it at this moment.

Is she crying?

Because of who?

Is it me?

Why are you still thinking about this?

Whether you are crying or not, there is only one thing to do at this moment, right?

Su Qing's heartstrings were gently plucked, and then he almost subconsciously opened his arms, like the gentle breeze under the warm spring sun, gently surrounding the girl in his arms.

Then, one of his hands slowly rose, like fingers gently fiddling with dewdrops in the morning light, and gently fell on the back of the girl's plump head.

The fingertips shuttled through the flax-soft hair, and every touch contained endless tenderness and care, for fear that the slightest force would disturb the quiet beauty.

Then, Su Qing opened his thin lips and spoke slowly in a delicate, almost whispering tone:

"Be good, I'm here, I'm not leaving, I'm not going anywhere"

Su Qing paused again, as if he was considering every word that was to come.

Thus, his voice added a bit of indescribable tenderness.

"If you don't believe me, it's okay to try hugging me tighter."

As soon as he finished speaking, the delicate body of the girl in his arms moved closer, and the pulling force on his clothes became stronger.

Su Qing didn't care and instead started singing something softly.

"May I be like a star, like the moon, and may my light shine brightly every night."

As if the song had reached its climax, Su Qing's voice became increasingly steady, melodious and graceful.

"The moon is temporarily dark, but the stars are always bright. Stay bright until the moon returns, and the stars will be full and bright together."

The song ended, and only the lingering sound lingered in the small living room.

The girl's body gradually stopped trembling in his arms, and her clenched fists quietly loosened and slowly fell down.

[It’s this sense of security]

[This is too foul...]
