Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 197

Yang Nai's bright and sharp eyes, like a scanner, slowly swept over Su Qing's entire body from bottom to top, a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and he said softly.

“A nickname is just a name; it doesn’t indicate how close or distant we are,” Su Qing shook her head, denying it.

Upon hearing this, Yang Nai's smile grew even brighter.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, her once beautiful and captivating gaze now revealing a sly glint. A graceful smile curved her lips as she continued, her voice a mixture of amusement and something else:

"Oh, so if that's the case, even if you only call Yukino 'Yukinoshita,' your relationship is actually much closer than those who call her by her name directly, like... someone like me, her older sister?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Nai chuckled softly, as if she had discovered something interesting.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, the curve of her eyes widening even more.

She seemed to be flirting with Su Qing from the moment they met.

In a sense, it is her personality that can be described as "twisted".

The heavy responsibility of supporting her family forced her to relax in this way.

Despite Yang Nai's relentless pressure, Su Qing remained calm and composed, responding calmly, "This is just a deliberate attempt to change the subject."

However, Yang Nai didn't care about Su Qing's accusations at all. She just shrugged lightly and said coquettishly, "Is that so? Since you don't agree with my point of view, then fine, I'll put it another way."

As she spoke, she suddenly leaned forward, her head slowly approaching Su Qing, instantly closing the distance between them.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Nai covered her mouth with one hand, deliberately lowering her voice, and murmured in a seductive tone:

"Qing Sang... tell me, in your opinion, is our relationship close or distant?"

……

……

Chapter 253 The Alluring Flower (2)

?

"Our relationship?"

Su Qing stepped back, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Including this time, we've only met three times, right? If we're talking about our relationship... well... my friend's sister is somewhere in between, not too close, not too distant, right?"

Hearing this answer, Yang Nai sighed softly and returned to her seat, saying with a hint of sadness:

"Really? I thought we'd become closer."

At this moment, the waiter brought over the coffee the two had ordered and smiled at them:

"Please enjoy your coffee."

"Thank you for your hard work." Yang Nai's expression instantly changed, revealing a bright and cheerful smile as she nodded.

"You're welcome, please enjoy your meal."

The waiter was a man in his twenties, of average build.

Although he encounters all sorts of beautiful women every day in this industry, he has never seen one like Yang Nai before, which makes him secretly harbor some thoughts.

But when he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Su Qing was staring at him, the courage he had mustered vanished.

After the waiter left, Yang Nai stared at his retreating figure thoughtfully.

After elegantly taking a sip of coffee, she smiled and said to Su Qing:

"You noticed that the person wanted to strike up a conversation, so you used your eyes to discourage them. I didn't expect you to be such a gentleman."

"You and he are both overthinking it. I just glanced at him by chance."

After gently swirling the cup and taking a small sip, Su Qing shook her head.

"Well, let's just say that." Yang Nai didn't care about it, whether intentionally or unintentionally; she had more important things to consider now. "So, have you come up with any solutions?"

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that Su Qing was pretending to be stupid, Yang Nai pointed out in annoyance:

"Of course, it's a way of resisting. Yukino's attitude is that she doesn't want to live with me, but I can understand. If someone from your family suddenly moves in without saying a word when there's nothing wrong, anyone would feel uncomfortable."

Yang Nai seemed genuinely thirsty, and drank several mouthfuls of coffee in a row.

"Why should we resist? In my opinion, isn't it only natural for two sisters to live together?" Su Qing retorted.

"Is that really what you think?" Yang Nai put down her coffee, a smile on her face, but her voice carried a hint of disappointment.

"Hmm... If I heard correctly, it's your mother's idea for you to live with her, right? Are you suggesting that I and Yui ask your mother for help, as club members or friends?"

Su Qing bombarded Yang Nai with a series of questions, which annoyed him.

"Ah... so it means doing nothing?"

Yukino seemed disappointed, and her tone was no longer as excited as before. "Simply running away won't solve the problem. Yukino can't live at her friend's house forever without facing it. I bet even this overnight stay was at the invitation of that girl named Yuihama."

Yang Nai's gaze drifted out the window, further and further away, as if she were reminiscing, and her voice became melodious:

"After all, although she is still as naive as a child, she is surprisingly stubborn."

Without rebuttal or agreement, Su Qing simply listened quietly to Yang Nai's self-talk.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

The two could hear the sound of someone stirring coffee with a spoon at the next table.

After a long time.

Yukino tilted her head back and parted her red lips slightly: "So, you're planning to [give up] Yukino?"

"Have you finished drinking?"

Without answering her question, Su Qing suddenly spoke.

"What? You're planning to run away too?"

Although she didn't know what Su Qing wanted to do, Yang Nai still drank the last few mouthfuls in one gulp.

"After you finish your drink, how about I take you somewhere this time?"

Su Qing shook her head, but did not finish the rest of her coffee.

He suddenly wanted to try drinking the coffee that Mahiru brewed.

"Just say what you have to say here. I don't have time to waste on your nonsense," Yang Nai said listlessly.

I only asked Su Qing out because I was in a playful mood, and also to inquire about Yukino's situation.

But now she is very dissatisfied with the other party's answer.

As for what Su Qing might think, that's his business; Yang Nai never cared about such things.

She had investigated Su Qing's background and found nothing unusual about her.

If it weren't for Yukino, the two would never have crossed paths.

Su Qing wasn't surprised by Yang Nai's attitude. He simply smiled faintly and said softly, "How long has it been since you... touched a bow?"

"What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Yang narrowed his eyes.

Kyudo.

It is one of the few things she truly loves.

But after she won the national championship, she never picked up a bow again.

—This was a promise she made to her mother.

"Play a game?"

Su Qing didn't explain, but instead smiled and invited him.

To Yang Nai, however, this was no different from seducing her.

After a moment of contemplation, Yang Nai raised her face, her smile radiant:

"But...you said it yourself."

……

……

The atmosphere in the spacious and bright archery dojo was tense and exciting.

"Hush-hush-"

Arrows shot through the air at astonishing speed, flying straight toward the distant target.

Ten rings!

Ten rings!

Before the crowd could recover from their astonishment, the third arrow whistled towards its target.

Unfortunately, this time it was only the ninth ring.

Even so, the surrounding onlookers still generously erupted in exclamations and exclamations of admiration.

Yang Nai's movements were as graceful, precise, and fluid as a dance, as if every subtle movement had been honed through countless hours of practice.

What's most terrifying is that she could shoot three arrows in one go and still maintain such a high accuracy rate, which is truly astonishing.

Hey.

Another day of coming to earth to make up the numbers.

Faced with the cheers surging from all around, Yang Nai not only did not show the slightest sign of pride, but instead frowned slightly.

Kyudo emphasizes a dignified and elegant posture, and a pure and clear mind.

Unless she has to for a competition, she prefers to practice in quiet, secluded places.

That's why she doesn't come to these kinds of public places.

Today was an exception.

"Senior Yang is amazing."

Su Qing clapped her hands and walked over to Yang Nai, sincerely praising him.

"Really? I haven't practiced in a long time and I've regressed quite a bit. Besides, the quality of the bows here is just so-so." Yang Nai adjusted the bowstring dismissively.

It's still a bit too loose.

Moreover, the weight of the bow is not very comfortable to handle.

If it were her custom-made bow, that arrow would have hit the bullseye.

"Then why did you stop practicing? You must have won a kyudo competition, right? I remember there was a news headline: 'Shocking! A rising star in kyudo has fallen!'" Su Qing asked.

"Aren't you good at reasoning? Try guessing why, like you found my car's location earlier. If you guess right, I'll give you a reward."

Yang Nai's voice was suggestive.

"Okay."

This time Su Qing did not refuse, but he made a request, "Before that, how about I tell you a story?"

"Tell me."

Yang Nai put the bow away and cast a curious glance at him.

"In the vast flower garden, there is a flower that is exceptionally beautiful."

Passersby all stopped to look at it.

Naturally, it garnered everyone's attention and praise.

But apart from that flower, no one noticed that a seed in the soil was sprouting new shoots.

Time flows.

That new bud also became a beautiful and praiseworthy flower, but it never received the recognition it deserved.

Because the later flowers always grew under the "protection" of the first flower.

The story ends abruptly.

Su Qing smiled and looked at Yang Nai.
