Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 70

Do you remember our promise?

"Of course... I dare not forget."

"Really? Then why didn't you tell me you were going out for a club dinner? Don't tell me you forgot."

Shiina sighed. No wonder Su Qing came back later than usual today. At first, she thought it was because of club activities, but just now he actually said that the "newly opened family restaurant" was quite authentic and the taste was okay.

What does it mean?

Shiina, the young cook, couldn't help but feel a pang of resentment.

"Actually, I haven't forgotten."

"why?"

Shiina didn't like this feeling; she believed that promises should be kept.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but why did it have to be Su Qing...?

"No one says you can't eat at your neighbor's house after eating at a family restaurant, right?"

That's the truth. When we were at the restaurant, none of us even ordered rice. We just ordered the dishes that interested us, and then the five of us ate together. In fact, we didn't get much food. In the end, we were just tasting it.

"...You can eat that much?"

"Hmm, it really works. Maybe my digestive system is just stronger?"

Noticing that the chill in Shiina's words had lessened considerably, Su Qing pressed his advantage, saying:

"Besides, the angel's cooking is so delicious, it would be a shame to miss out on a meal, wouldn't it?"

"...It can't be that exaggerated."

A hint of joy flashed in Shiina's beautiful eyes, but it was quickly replaced by helplessness.

"No, Shiina, I think you should have a deeper understanding of the value of the dishes you make."

Su Qing said seriously.

"...Honestly, you always say nice things at times like this. But eating so much is still bad for your health, right? So let's eat later."

"how about you?"

"Thanks to you, I'm so full from being angry that I'm not hungry yet. But don't worry, I'll eat with you later, I won't leave you alone."

If one only listened to the first part of her words, others might have thought that the woman was angry, but only Su Qing could truly feel the warmth in Shiina's words.

……

Won't you leave me alone...?

He really did say something remarkable, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Su Qing didn't reply, but fell silent. This was the first time someone had said this to him, and he really needed to calm down.

"...But don't you think you should say something?"

Shiina's words broke Su Qing's reverie.

What are you doing? What do you mean?

It was a rare day for Su Qing to feel out of sorts.

"Private Marseille?"

Su Qing tentatively said something.

"What else should we do?"

Clearly, this did not satisfy the angel judge.

"...Red bean paste private Marseille?"

Su Qing was secretly delighted. Luckily, she had seen some videos of island politicians apologizing before. This should be enough to make Shiina forgive her, right?

"...Do you think you're some naive, unscrupulous senator who thinks you can just say 'private Marseille' and move on after doing something wrong?"

Shiina clearly didn't expect Su Qing to apologize again. Shouldn't he just say he won't do it again next time?

Furthermore, if apologies were effective, what would be the point of having angelic judges for judgment?

"Then what should I do?"

"Hmm... I can't tell you. Consider this a small punishment for not informing me."

After all, I've been waiting for you at home for so long.

Actually, it wasn't long. Su Qing was just a little later than usual, and there was still plenty of time before their usual dinner time. But even that short time felt long and unbearable because of her eagerness to see him.

Unfortunately, absolute sense of smell is not mind reading, so Su Qing couldn't hear any of Shiina's inner complaints at this moment, otherwise he wouldn't be so nervous.

"That sounds terrifying. If I still don't know the answer in the end, will there be additional punishment?"

Su Qing hesitated for a moment before speaking. Before he transmigrated, he had a friend whose girlfriend was like that. She would get angry but wouldn't say why, making his friend guess. The man would keep guessing wrong, and the woman would keep getting angry, like a Russian nesting doll. In the end, the two of them just gave up.

As for how Su Qing knew, it was because the man called her out on the night he broke up with his girlfriend and said he wanted to treat her to drinks. Su Qing didn't like alcohol, but since someone said they were treating her, she had to go. As a result, the man complained about everything.

"Further punishment? Why would such a thing exist?"

Shiina tilted her head in confusion, but just as Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief, she slowly said:

"However, it's not impossible if you want it."

Can I unsubscribe?

Su Qing was completely dumbfounded. It turned out she'd been overthinking things. Damn it, could I possibly travel back in time again and beat that guy up?

"Not supported at the moment."

Shiina said with a smile, she found that she really liked seeing Su Qing's slightly flustered appearance. He was usually so calm and mature, but now Su Qing had a different kind of cuteness, and of course, he was still very handsome.

At least that's how Shiina sees it.

"Then... could you tell me what additional punishment might be incurred?"

Su Qing swallowed hard. Could it be a punishment to not eat Shiina's cooking for three days? What a joke! Doesn't he know that it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality? This is a great wisdom summarized by the ancients long ago.

"Well……"

In fact, Shiina had never thought of any punishment. It was all Su Qing's own idea. Su Qing was just trying to see how Shiina would react and was just going along with what Shiina said.

Come to think of it, would you say I had a bit of a bad intention?

"I haven't decided yet. I'll let you know when I do."

Seeing that Su Qing still wanted to bargain, Shiina puffed out her cheeks slightly.

"I think it would be better to add a time limit as well. So you should think about it quickly, otherwise I can't guarantee what terrible punishment I'll come up with later."

Su Qing had no choice but to abandon her idea of ​​asking about the specific punishment.

Speaking of which, besides apologizing, what else should be done? Should it be promising never to do it again?

No, no, no, it's not like a child being caught doing something wrong by their mother. Shiina and I are just neighbors, at most a cook and a customer. It would be strange to give that answer.

What else should be done? What else should be done?

Shiina's words kept echoing in his mind.

Then, Su Qing turned her gaze to Shiina and found that the other person was tilting their head slightly and looking at her with a smile.

So it is...?

Chapter 94 An Overly Compromising Sense of Security

In Shiina's vision, Su Qing's figure slowly approached, gradually filling her entire pupils.

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

Because of her perspective, Su Qing clearly saw Shiina's eyes change from initial surprise and confusion to a slight resistance, but this resistance quickly disappeared without a trace.

However, after that, because Shiina quickly lowered her head, Su Qing was no longer able to observe what expression was on her face.

But if I didn't break free, does that mean I didn't do anything wrong?

"Why, why all of a sudden?"

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

"When I saw you tilting your head slightly and looking at me with a smile, I thought..."

Su Qing wasn't sure if he really thought Shiina wanted to be patted on the head like that after so long, or if he simply couldn't resist patting Shiina's cute appearance.

However, discussing these things is pointless now. As Shiina said, it all happened too suddenly and at an inopportune time.

If the previous two or three head pats were understandable and had their reasons, what about this time? Are we to explain it away with a simple "I misunderstood"?

Most importantly, will Shiina be angry about this?

When Su Qing thought of this, her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. Why was that?

Even though she knew Shiina shouldn't be a girl who would get angry about this, why did this thought still keep popping up? And this thought was getting bigger and bigger in her mind, to the point that Su Qing felt the blood flowing through her body slow down, and her body became cold as a result.

Shiina kept her head down, her expression hidden.

Then, for reasons unknown, Su Qing decided to pull her hand back.

"Sorry, I misunderstood."

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

If Su Qing could bend down slightly at this moment and gently brush the strands of hair that had fallen beside the girl's ear behind her ear with his delicate and tender fingers, he would be surprised to find that the girl's ears were now as red as the rising sun. Moreover, the heat seemed to penetrate her skin, conveying an indescribable shyness.

"But please continue..."

The girl's last words seemed to have exhausted the last of her courage and strength, and her voice trembled involuntarily, eventually turning into an almost inaudible murmur.

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

And just as Su Qing had thought, Shiina hadn't had his head patted like that by Su Qing in a long time.

In fact, she really liked this feeling.

Su Qing's movements were always gentle yet firm, like the warm sunshine of spring gently caressing her heart, then melting away like snow, bringing endless warmth and peace.

She could feel his slender fingers inadvertently touching her hair. The delicate and gentle touch made her tremble involuntarily, and an indescribable joy welled up in her heart.

At times like these, she couldn't help but think, "I wish things could stay like this forever."

How embarrassing, so embarrassing.

Shiina's mind was in complete turmoil. In addition, she had been suppressing her inner doubts all day, and now a lot of strange thoughts inexplicably popped into her head.

Am I relying on Su Qing too much?

Even though she was suddenly patted on the head like that, she still begged 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 really am one of them—

Bad boy...

Just as Shiina was lost in thought, Su Qing suddenly spoke up:

"I'm sorry, but compared to food from outside, I still like your cooking the most. You might 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 gave me that box of leftover food that I understood why everyone smiles when they eat, why they get excited about every delicious meal, and why they look forward to dinner after school.

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

So when you suggested coming to my house to share the food expenses and cook, although I hesitated a bit, I was undoubtedly secretly delighted.

I was afraid of being rejected, but I was secretly thrilled when you said yes.

During these days, while I felt happy, I also felt a little scared. Sometimes I would think, "Wouldn't it be terrible if one day I couldn't eat your cooking?"

No... please don't be afraid.

The boy's voice suddenly stopped, and Shiina gently raised his eyes, only to see that the other's eyes, which were so beautiful they were almost unfair, were staring at him with tenderness in them.
