Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 209

The white light in the corridor was like a veil, gently covering her face and making her already delicate features appear even more clear and beautiful.

Su Qing opened her mouth slightly, about to speak, but Mahiru spoke first:

"Because I just realized... it's so unfair that I'm the only one with a key to your house, so I'm giving you my spare key."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing was stunned for a moment, and the words he had prepared instantly stuck in his throat. He hadn't even had a chance to say anything yet.

Seeing Su Qing in a daze, Zhen Zhou covered her mouth and chuckled again:

Did I guess right about what you were going to say?

"Ah."

Su Qing really wanted to say, "Can you hurry home? What if you catch a cold?"

If all else fails, you can go to her house or his house and continue chatting.

Looking at Mahiru in this state, he couldn't utter a single word, only nodding silently.

"Ha~ As expected, we are on the same wavelength."

Mahiru gently pushed open the door and, like a happy little rabbit, lightly leaped into the room.

Then she turned around, still wearing that bright smile:

"Well... I'm going home now."

"okay."

"Boyfriend, you should go home quickly too, don't catch a cold."

Mahiru waved gently, but there was no trace of reluctance in her eyes; instead, they were overflowing with happiness and care.

Su Qing thought to herself, "You've said everything you need to say, what else can I say?"

"See you tomorrow."

Su Qing also took a few steps back and returned to the room, but the door was not closed, just like the door of Mahiru's room across the street.

"See you tomorrow!"

A crisp response came from Mahiru.

The person who invented the phrase "See you tomorrow" is a genius.

The future is inherently uncertain, like a phantom in the mist, and people always harbor some degree of fear towards the unknown.

But because of you.

then.

We eagerly anticipate seeing each other again tomorrow.

then.

We then have boundless aspirations and expectations for the future.

At that moment, the two of them thought the same thing without prior agreement.

However, as time quietly passed, neither Su Qing nor Zhen Zhou chose to close the door.

They stood silently a few steps apart, gazing at each other, as if time itself had stood still for them.

At this moment, they were like people having a long phone conversation; they had already said everything they needed to say, and it was time to say goodbye.

They had already fallen silent.

They had already said goodbye.

We can still meet.

But both of them were like fools, lost in the silence of the moment.

Even if we don't speak, we don't feel awkward.

The tranquility at this moment seemed so beautiful.

It's as if trying to turn this moment into eternity.

It's a little childish.

But it is by no means laughable.

Another few seconds passed.

Su Qing and Zhen Zhou simultaneously and slowly grasped the doorknob, then shouted in unison:

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

— Clang.

As the door was gently closed, the two figures disappeared from each other's sight, yet they did not truly disappear.

Because they have both deeply settled in each other's hearts, where it is as warm as ever, and spring-like all year round.

Su Qing fell silent, a rare occurrence. His gaze was fixed on the closed door, as if by staring intently at it, he could see through the door to the person opposite him.

After a long while, he slowly closed his eyes, raised his hand to gently touch his forehead, and exhaled a long breath.

Then she slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the key in her palm, which still held some warmth.

—He misses Mahiru.

What kind of mess is this...?

Just a few minutes ago, Mingming told Mahiru that if she missed him, she could call or come to his door.

In the end, it turns out I was just making things convenient for myself...

And just now, the two of them were just like a pair of "idiot couple".

Do all couples in the throes of new love look like this?

but……

The "sweetness" between him and Mahiru seems to be different from that of ordinary couples.

Rather, it's some kind of deeper emotional bond...

He couldn't understand this feeling before.

If it were the first time he met Mahiru, he would probably have closed the door without hesitation.

Love can truly change a person.

Su Qing thought to herself, he really has changed.

Is it that you're no longer as "clear-headed" as before?

But he wasn't afraid of this change; on the contrary, he was secretly looking forward to it...

Immediately, as if he had thought of something, he summoned the panel again and then fell silent once more.

Chapter 266 Video Call

?

"Hey hey hey! Has Xiaoqing eaten yet?"

As soon as Su Qing answered the video call, a lively female voice immediately popped up on the phone.

“I’ve already eaten, but if you step back a little, the camera will almost only show your face.”

Su Qing stared at the face that almost dominated the entire screen, her lips twitching involuntarily, and gave a reminder.

"Ahem, it must be because the camera's range is too small."

In the video, Yui scratched her head, looking slightly embarrassed, and explained.

"So, what's the matter that you suddenly called me? And why did you send so many emojis?"

Su Qing asked the question directly.

He always felt that something was off with Yui; she'd been acting strange ever since she mentioned "charging."

Especially that string of 99+ messages I just saw.

Su Qing browsed through the list one by one.

Aside from a barrage of useless emojis that seemed to be given away for free, the text messages were all asking if something was wrong with them.

Why is the other person suddenly doing this?

"Ah...sorry, I didn't mean to bombard you with messages!"

Like a child who had done something wrong, Yui gently poked her finger and said with a wronged expression,

"It was probably around the time you called me to let me know you were safe. I don't know why, but my eyelids kept twitching, and I had a bad feeling about it... So, that's why..."

When did you let me know you were safe?

That was right after he finished negotiating with Yang Nai.

Is this a coincidence, or...?

But what does this have to do with her sending so many emojis in a row...?

"That's why she rushed to send you so many messages, and then accidentally triggered those things."

By the time it was discovered, too much time had passed, and there was no way to undo it.

Off-screen, a wisp of jet-black hair flashed by, followed by Yukino's voice.

"Ah, that's it! By the way, Xiaoxue and I are together now~ Xiaoqing, do you want to see Xiaoxue?"

Yui's hands moved much faster than her mouth.

Before Su Qing could respond, she had already quickly turned her phone camera towards Yukino.

"Xiaoxue, look at the camera!"

"Are you... are you an idiot?!" Yukino hurriedly covered her face with her finger when Yui suddenly pointed the camera at her.

Before Su Qing could even see what was happening, the scene suddenly spun around like a somersault.

A moment later, Yui's face reappeared on screen.

"Um..."

She pondered for a moment, then smiled broadly and said to Su Qing,

"I understand, Xiaoxue isn't used to making video calls with others!"

Don't say

If it's Yukino, then that's quite a possibility.

"Don't talk nonsense, I was just startled by your sudden appearance."

Yukino's phone started shaking again, and the screen was instantly flooded with pink:

"That should fix it in place."

After Yukino's voice came, Su Qing saw her wearing a pink nightgown and slowly backing away until she sat down next to Yui.

Judging from this angle, the two of them should be sitting at that low table right now.

"So you think something happened to me, which is why you sent so many messages?" Su Qing asked.

“Yes.” Yui nodded.

"Are you sure you're not 'harassing' me?"

Su Qing actually believed what Yui said, but wanted to confirm it again.

"Hey, I wouldn't do that. After all, I think it's a bit outrageous..."

Yui touched her face guiltily, then smiled with relief.
