Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

However, just as he was about to raise his head, Mahiru slowly uttered the last few words:

"You're an idiot!"

After Mahiru muttered that, Su Qing could clearly feel the other person holding her tighter.

Qing? Is he an idiot?

Put together, doesn't that mean... he's an idiot?

So why are you hugging this idiot?

Mahiru should be the idiot!

Su Qing's face immediately darkened.

He's now wondering if Mahiru is actually asleep.

Could it be that today she's using a different method, pretending to sleep on his lap but actually trying to prank him?

After staring quietly at Mahiru's delicate profile for a while, Su Qing suddenly had a strange thought.

—Should I secretly pinch it?

You know, he had just experienced that feeling not long ago... It was amazing.

Specifically, it's soft and slippery.

If Su Qing hadn't kept her eyes open, she might have mistaken him for someone kneading pudding or jelly.

However, when Su Qing caught a glimpse of Mahiru's reassuring smile out of the corner of his eye, this strange idea was thus declared bankrupt.

[Get some rest, Mahiru...]

Su Qing slowly withdrew his gaze from Zhen Zhou, and turned his neck slightly to look straight ahead.

There was only an ordinary window there.

To be honest, there's nothing to see.

It's at least not as good as a sea-view room.

Generally speaking, with a sea view room, you can enjoy the breathtaking sunrise over the sea or other stunning natural scenery simply by opening the window.

However, here, in this modern city, all that comes into view are towering skyscrapers.

Nevertheless, the soft, warm morning sunlight streamed through the cracks in the window.

As they drifted down like light, fluttering golden maple leaves onto the smooth ceramic tile floor of the living room.

An indescribable emotion welled up in Su Qing's heart.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and everything around became quiet and peaceful.

It's so good to be here in this world...

This wasn't the first time Su Qing had expressed such sentiments.

During his last speech at the school, he couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

It's just that this feeling is getting stronger now.

My gaze shifted again, this time landing on the thermos on the table not far away.

Not long ago, that thermos contained soy milk that the girl had put a lot of thought into making.

Even now, that thermos still smells sweet like soy milk...

Therefore, the girl is now lying sleepily on the boy's lap.

The girl's purpose in doing this was all too easy to understand; she simply wanted the boy to taste the flavor of "home."

The idea was so simple it couldn't be simpler, even to the point of being somewhat foolish.

She didn't even bother to ask Su Qing if she liked soy milk beforehand.

All she knew was that Su Qing was from the mainland, and that there was no mainland-style breakfast on the island.

She only knew that Su Qing went for a morning run every day, and she knew that he wouldn't make his own breakfast.

So she did it, and even asked herself afterwards if she wanted to eat fried dough sticks.

It's the taste of home again.

Stupid or not?

People who are unwilling to be alone always huddle together for warmth, but they only ever maintain a superficial contact.

Even asking "Are you eating?" is just a polite, symbolic inquiry.

But if it's Mahiru, Su Qing knows that unless he explicitly refuses.

The silly girl in his arms would definitely be serious and give Su Qing no room to maneuver. After returning home, she would start researching how to make fried dough sticks.

Is he stupid or not?

But who in the world isn't foolish?

Even Su Qing, who possesses extraordinary memory and learning abilities, never considered him to be intelligent.

On the contrary, he also considered himself stupid...

He was so foolish that he couldn't even discern the true nature of the girl's feelings for him at that moment.

Is it dependence without any support?

Is it about respecting friends?

Is it based on contractual responsibility?

still is……

What is "liking" that transcends all of this?

No.

Just like Mahiru is more than just cute.

This emotion.

It's definitely not just as simple as "liking".

……

Chapter 199 Autumn Morning (1)

"Mahiru, wake up..."

"It's almost time," Su Qing gently shook Zhenzhu's delicate body and called out softly.

"Hmm... I'll sleep a little longer."

Mahiru, still asleep, felt she had never had such a sweet dream before, and now that she heard someone wanting to wake her up, she was naturally a hundred times unwilling.

"If you sleep any longer, I'll steal Little Pi away..." Su Qing didn't indulge Zhen Zhou. Instead, he lowered his head and shamelessly picked up the Little Pi that he had given him as a threat.

"Little, Little Pi?"

Mahiru frowned immediately, and said in an unhappy tone:

"No, you're not allowed to touch my little Pi!"

After saying that, Mahiru opened her beautiful eyes angrily in an instant, her small eyes filled with vigilance and rage.

However, when Su Qing's familiar face appeared in her pupils, her original vigilance and anger vanished instantly, replaced by astonishment.

"you you?"

"Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

While Mahiru was in a daze, Su Qing pinched Mahiru's cheek as if by some strange impulse.

Yes, this face is indeed smooth and youthful.

No, I don't want it anymore.

Forgetting all lingering feelings and reluctance, Mahiru quickly stood up, then lowered her head shyly, muttering to herself:

"Who wakes someone up like that?"

"Then tell me, how should I wake you up?"

After Su Qing folded the blanket that Mahiru had just covered her with and placed it aside, she could still faintly smell a trace of Mahiru's unique scent.

"Hmm...it should be, it should be..."

Mahiru seemed to be thinking about something, and she stammered, unable to utter a single word. Instead, her ears turned red at a visible speed.

"Should be what?" Su Qing pressed.

"Anyway... I don't think the way you woke me up was very nice..."

For some reason, Mahiru's fingers were now intertwined.

Even so, the other person still raised their little face and earnestly expressed their views to the silly Su Qing.

"I understand," Su Qing suddenly said.

"Understand what?" Mahiru asked, puzzled.

"Next time, I will never let you sleep on my lap again." Su Qing said the most ruthless words in the calmest tone.

"Eh...! Why?!"

Mahiru was taken aback at first, then immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.

"You said that the way you were woken up was bad, but you didn't say what you should do. Doesn't that mean you don't want to sleep on my lap?" Su Qing analyzed rationally.

"You idiot! That's not how it is!"

Mahiru was probably angered by Su Qing; her face was flushed, and it took her a long time to manage to utter those few words.

"You're insulting me again?" Su Qing moved to the side, getting closer to Zhen Zhou.

"No, not again... Today is the first time..." Mahiru said stiffly, her eyes lowered, looking very aggrieved, like a helpless child being bullied by Su Qing.

"You were secretly cursing me while you were sleeping just now. This is the second time, including the first time."

"While sleeping?" Mahiru's pupils constricted slightly, and she asked in disbelief.

"Yes, just ten minutes ago," Su Qing confirmed once again.

"What I said while sleeping... doesn't count." Mahiru remained stubborn, then her eyes darted around as she casually asked, "Then, did I say anything strange?"

"Strange? I think the things you say in your sleep are very strange." Su Qing's lips curled into a smile.

For example, what about...?

Mahiru was a little nervous. What if she accidentally blurted out everything in her sleep?

"Let me think, for example..." Su Qing paused deliberately, then looked at Majutsu with a playful expression before slowly saying, "For example, when Xiao Pi is naughty. You were just about to hug Xiao Pi."

"But... Pi isn't here." Mahiru blinked in confusion.

Since that day, she often fell asleep holding Xiao Pi, but unexpectedly, even when lying on Su Qing's lap, she still subconsciously looked for Xiao Pi.

But now Little Pi is undoubtedly in her own room, yet in her sleep she vaguely feels herself hugging something...

"Yes, Xiao Pi isn't here, so who is he holding?" Su Qing asked with a serious expression, pretending to think.

……

Having said all that, even if Mahiru was still half-asleep after waking up, she had already come to her senses.

Was that Su Qing she was just hugging?

No wonder it felt hard and smelled good!

Because of her shyness, Mahiru subconsciously clenched her pink fists.

Upon noticing Su Qing's triumphant smile, Mahiru's shyness instantly turned into shame and indignation.

"I'll hit you!" Mahiru swung her fist and launched a fierce attack on Su Qing's thigh.

"Hey, you just lay down here."

Su Qing did not stop him. Zhen Zhou's attacks were too weak and powerless, so he simply spread his hands and let the opponent attack to his heart's content.

"That's a good opportunity to relax your muscles, since I didn't hit you hard anyway."
