Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 265

"Yes, that's good."

Yui's lips curled up slightly, clearly showing some smugness.

Thankfully, she didn't cry just now, otherwise, with Xiaoqing's excellent memory, she would have remembered this for a very long time, right?

Ah~ She doesn't want to be called a crybaby anymore!

She must have grown a lot, right?

Most importantly, she didn't want to leave Su Qing with bad feelings.

If you suddenly start crying for no reason, wouldn't that be a little embarrassing?

what……

Isn't this a bit presumptuous of me?

But she knew that Xiaoqing was just that kind of gentle person.

So, gentle Xiao Qing~

Just this once, please grant my wish.

Always remember that we are best friends for life.

Even if I accidentally forget, you must never forget.

But you said you've never forgotten anything, so I guess I was just overthinking it.

The girl was once again relieved that she hadn't cried.

Otherwise, the other party might really remember you for a lifetime.

That would be too embarrassing!

Yui instinctively leaned on Yukino's shoulder; the rain was so heavy she couldn't hear a sound.

It's as if all the rain in the world has gathered here.

"I'll bring you the eye drops next time."

Yukino hesitated for a long time before finally placing her hand on the girl's round breasts, gently comforting her, and then said.

"Okay, sure..."

Yui responded softly.

"Also...would you like to come over to my place after your trip? Just...it's only fair, since I stayed at your place for a few nights..."

Yukino thought for a moment and then spoke.

Is this all she can do?

"Huh? What about reciprocity? Is Xiaoxue an idiot?"

"So, I'd like to invite you to my house, is that alright?"

Yukino made a rare firm demand, but her voice was very gentle.

Yui was stunned for a moment when she saw Yukino like this for the first time, then nodded and said nothing more.

It is still raining heavily.

The rain, as fine as needles, fell densely from the sky, hitting the ground and splashing up sparkling droplets before quickly disappearing into the damp darkness, as if trying to devour all the light in the world.

The girl, however, raised her eyes, which were filled with the scent of autumn rain, and her heart was unexpectedly bright.

"Xiaoqing, I think I know what I really felt that day."

But suddenly I don't want to tell you anymore.

"Because I like you, that's enough for me."

"If you know, then please forget."

"If you can't forget, then it's enough to know."

Later, the girl revealed that gentle smile, as tender as a falling leaf.

Autumn is always desolate, and many brightly colored flowers wither and die in this season.

Even so, the fallen leaves of autumn silently nourish the earth, preparing for the flowers to bloom again in the spring of the following year.

Therefore, fallen leaves are naturally gentle.

Even as winter approaches and the weather gets colder, this remains true.

Winter is coming, which means spring is just around the corner, right?

Because of Su Qing's words, the girl felt a sudden surge of anticipation.

Then she said softly:

"Xiao Xue... Kyoto's temples and shrines are actually quite fun."

Even in the end, despite not liking Kyoto's temples and shrines that much, the extremely gentle girl never said she disliked Kyoto.

……

later.

The sound of rubbing leaves came from the bamboo grove; it was the touch of autumn fingers. The sunlight warmed the walls, but the night cooled them down.

The quiet, nameless lake opened its eyes and smiled, saying:

There are always ships leaving the shore, and always people returning home. Winter comes and goes, and those who are meant to meet will always meet again. If winter is coming, can spring be far behind? So... travelers returning home, would you like to hear a new story?

......

Chapter 320 Concerns

?

The next day.

No one could have imagined that the four-day, three-night study trip would end in a sudden autumn rain.

The group took a high-speed train and then a bus back to school, and it was already afternoon.

According to the school's arrangements, there will be no more classes in the afternoon. Today is also Friday, and there is no adjustment for the weekend, which means we have two and a half days off.

This is happiness.

After getting off the bus, Su Qing was about to take her suitcase and go home with Mahiru when she found Yui there, looking anxiously for her suitcase.

"Is this the right one?"

Su Qing glanced around casually and soon spotted a cute pink suitcase.

Needless to say, it must be Yui's.

He remembered it clearly.

"Hey, I'm here! Thanks, Qing~"

Yui's voice was as energetic as ever.

"Ah."

Su Qing gave a casual reply, and then, to the other person's somewhat surprised expression, helped her carry the box down.

I don't know what's inside the box, but it's not very light.

How will you get back later?

Su Qing asked.

"My dad will be picking me up in a car later, where's Xiaoqing?"

Yui took out her phone, presumably to make a call.

“Go back with Mahiru, we’re neighbors.”

Su Qing thought for a moment and then said.

"Huh, this is the first time I've heard of this."

Yui tilted her head, lost in thought.

"I'm leaving now, see you next week."

Su Qing turned to leave, but Yui seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Oh right, I might stay at Xiaoxue's house for the next couple of days."

Su Qing paused for a moment, nodded slightly and said "okay", then left.

Yui isn't stupid; on the contrary, she's far more perceptive than many others, a fact he knows all too well.

If that's the case, why would the girl suddenly say something like that?

Is it a concern that he might worry, or something else?

Forget it.

He lost interest in thinking about it any further.

……

The bus for Class D was after Class C, so Mahiru had just gotten off the bus after Su Qing said goodbye to Yui, and the two of them successfully reunited.

"go home?"

Ignoring the shocked looks around her, Su Qing calmly took Mahiru's suitcase.

"I can take it myself..."

Mahiru blushed and said somewhat shyly.

It wasn't that she felt uncomfortable being stared at by those around her; it was simply that she felt her neighbor's boyfriend was spoiling her rotten if things continued like this.

"Then take my suitcase, it's lighter than yours."

Su Qing also had her own ulterior motives.

If you're carrying suitcases in both hands, you won't be able to hold hands with Mahiru or touch her, right?

"really?"

Mahiru tilted her head cutely, her expression slightly confused.

When she actually tried it, she was surprised to find that it was not "lighter" at all.

Isn't that a bit too lenient?

Even she could lift it up very easily.

"Why does it look like there's nothing in your suitcase?"

"Go back and open it yourself to see?"

Su Qing said directly.

"Hmm? If you put it that way, I... I really will open it and take a look!"

Perhaps it was due to the angle of the sunlight, but Mahiru's eyes brightened.

"Silly girl." Su Qing smiled as she walked to Mahiru's side, ruffled her hair, and said, "Let's go home."

"Hmm... Go home!"

Mahiru let out a few tender and adorable whimpers, which were very captivating.

The simple word "go home" from Su Qing's mouth was enough to make her happy for a whole day.

Yes.

After the trip, it's time to go home.

The little girl who once lived alone in a big villa has finally been picked up by the person she wants to spend her life with and taken home with her.

Mahiru twitched her nose slightly, and golden light shimmered like gauze over her jade-like face.

Youthful, beautiful, and lively.

The girl was truly blessed by the sunshine.

Everyone around, both boys and girls, was stunned; it was the first time they had ever seen such an "angel."
