Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 307

I won't presume to say I understand your pain.

But I can give you a small gift right now, consider it a reward.

Close your eyes first, then I'll hold your hand and walk slowly with you, okay?

Although Mahiru had doubts, she nodded with trust, then closed her beautiful eyes and, guided by Su Qing, walked step by step into the unknown.

Walking blindfolded is actually a very scary thing.

Because at all times, people always trust and rely most on their own senses.

Fear of stumbling and falling can gradually erode a person's spirit, much like an anteater.

Mahiru merely pursed her lips, appearing quite composed except for her weak, one-third-beat pace.

It seemed like we arrived at our destination in just a few minutes.

Su Qing gestured for Zhen Zhou to sit down, and she sat down without hesitation.

The other party would never harm her. That's Mahiru's philosophy.

But... why does this feel like the bed in his room?

There's no mistake, she just slept here a few days ago!

Yes, yes, yes, what do you want to do?

You haven't showered yet, you must smell terrible!

Mahiru was immediately flustered, her voice slightly panicked, "Um, can I open my eyes now?"

And also... can I go take a shower first...?

"You can't open your eyes yet, just a little longer. I won't keep you waiting too long, okay?"

Su Qing looked at Mahiru in surprise. Why did she suddenly want to take a bath?

After comforting Mahiru with a few words, he left the room and closed the door behind him.

Without any external light source, the world of Zhenri suddenly plunged into darkness.

Darkness is the environment most likely to breed fear, but Mahiru seems to have no time to care about such things at this moment.

Besides the fact that this was her boyfriend's room and she was very familiar with it, the more important thing was that her heart was inexplicably racing just thinking about what might happen next!

Oh no... what should I do?

My body suddenly felt very hot, and my heart felt very uncomfortable, as if it was about to jump out of my chest.

No, no, I must be overthinking it!

Qingjun is not the kind of person who would treat that kind of thing as a reward. Am I an idiot?

……

But actually, it's not like it's impossible...

Ugh, I really am such an idiot!

Before Mahiru's restless thoughts could be calmed, light footsteps suddenly sounded at the door.

step-step-

Soon, the footsteps were silenced by a creak.

"Can I...can I open my eyes now?"

Mahiru's palms were already clenched into fists due to tension, and her whole body was in a highly tense state.

Upon realizing that Su Qing had returned, he couldn't help but ask.

Strangely, her answer received no response.

Suddenly.

In the desolate darkness that made one feel helpless, the world suddenly began to flicker with light.

Even if faint, it definitely exists.

A warm, masculine voice then echoed:

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

The sound grew closer and closer, and the flickering firelight became brighter and more dazzling.

As if realizing something, Mahiru's whole body suddenly trembled for a moment.

A strange emotion seemed to fill her entire eye sockets, causing her to subconsciously open her eyes.

The candlelight spread out like dandelion blossoms, and in the flickering flames, Su Qing's profile was illuminated with exceptional tenderness.

Seeing that Mahiru had opened her eyes, Su Qing smiled gently and said softly:

"Today is your birthday, and I wanted to give you a surprise, so I specially asked Yui to ask you out."

You probably guessed it already, right? Just like dinner, this is a birthday cake I made for you, made especially for you.

I mean, how about we make a wish, Mahiru-kun?

Following Su Qing's gaze, in the dim light, Mahiru quickly made out the shape of the cake.

The cake wasn't very big, with only two layers. It was topped with a chocolate glaze, and the top layer was covered with delicate cream and garnished with fruits such as strawberries and blueberries.

But what caught Mahiru's attention the most was a flaxen-colored cartoon girl in the blank area on the top floor.

The little girl grinned, her smile innocent and carefree.

Several lines of text were also present beside it:

Happy birthday, Zhoubao!

"...You made it so cute, I don't want to eat it later."

After staring blankly for a long time, Mahiru rubbed her eyes and said with a slight sob.

"Then why don't I just eat the little girl?" Su Qing replied subconsciously.

"I won't let you succeed. I'll be the first to devour her!"

Mahiru looked over with a smile, then quickly lowered her head, her fingers intertwined.

"Shall I start making a wish now?"

"It doesn't matter if there are more."

"That's too greedy. Right now, I only have one wish."

Mahiru shook her head, then slowly closed her eyes and silently made a wish in her heart while facing the candlelight.

Perhaps it was true, as she said, that being too greedy was not good. So, not long after, Mahiru opened her eyes, then puffed out her cheeks, and several candles went out in the wind.

"You agreed so quickly, did you already have this in mind?"

Su Qing asked as she turned on the light.

"Um...no, the wish I made was something I just thought of."

Those wishes I'd long ago made are what I truly want to achieve, but those wishes can only be fulfilled by myself.

Mahiru narrowed her eyes slightly, her smile serene.

"After making a wish, it's time to cut the cake, right? I'm going to be the first to eat my piece!"

Mahiru laughed mischievously, seemingly intending to keep the cake with Mahiru's image all to herself.

makes sense.

How could Su Qing eat Xiao Zhenzhu?

If anyone's going to eat, it should be themselves, the great Zhenzhu!

However, Su Qing pointed at this moment, indicating that Mahiru should look back.

"Um...what's wrong?"

Following Su Qing's gesture, Zhen Zhou finally noticed the entire room under the incandescent light.

Colorful balloons of varying sizes were arranged on a white wall to spell out "Happy Birthday".

In addition, there was an open laptop on the desk.

The electronic screen displayed the image of a beautiful woman, who was gazing tenderly at the girl who had turned her head.

"...Aunt Xiaoxue, hey?! Long time no see."

A fleeting look of surprise crossed Mahiru's face, which was then replaced by a mixture of delight and bewilderment.

"If I think about it, it really has been many years since I last saw you."

However, I have now resigned from my job and can no longer use the old title.

and so……

Happy birthday, Mahiru-san.

The beautiful woman in the video smiled slightly, her smile dignified and gentle, and Su Qing could even see a resemblance to Mahiru in her.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Mahiru has been deliberately imitating the other person's every move since she was a child.

"Thank you for remembering that it's my birthday today. How have you been lately?"

Mahiru's eyes still sparkled with surprise, showing how happy she was to be reunited with Aunt Koyuki after so long.

"Everything is fine. I quit my job a long time ago and have been living a leisurely life. Aren't you curious why I suddenly appeared here?"

Aunt Xiaoxue's eyes shifted slightly to the right, and Mahiru's gaze followed, finally settling on Su Qing's profile.

Ah, who could it be?

It's so hard to guess!

"Hmm... I am a little curious, but the answer is already quite obvious."

Mahiru gave Su Qing a mischievous look, and Su Qing, realizing she had been exposed, directly revealed her true colors.

"I am very grateful to Ms. Kumikawa for forgiving my abrupt contact and for agreeing to cooperate with my plans today."

"There's no need to be so polite. I've always treated Mahiru like a daughter since she was little... I'm always happy to care about her."

I just didn't expect that after so many years, besides Mahiru getting more and more beautiful, she also brought such an excellent... boyfriend.

That's good, now I can finally relax.

Kumikawa looked at Su Qing with increasing satisfaction.

Being young and handsome is not important; the most important thing for a man is reliability.

The fact that the other party was able to obtain her contact information and found her just to celebrate Mahiru's birthday was enough to make her think more highly of Su Qing.

Therefore, Jiu Meichuan nodded frequently, her eyes filled with satisfaction as she looked at Su Qing.

It was just like looking at their own son-in-law!

Su Qing didn't care much about other people's opinions; he had always been like that.

But this made things difficult for Mahiru.

What's going on? This looks like a meeting with the parents!

A girl's shyness, accompanied by a certain joy, swept over her like a tidal wave, and Mahiru's heart was instantly filled with these two emotions, a mixture of shyness and joy.

"Alright, I won't disturb your time together, you two young couple."

By the way, I sent you a birthday present, it should arrive in a couple of days. Remember to check it and don't refuse it; it's a sign of care and affection from an elder to a younger generation.

Ms. Kumikawa gazed at the two with loving eyes, and after glancing at them, she suddenly smiled, her eyes narrowing.

"Oh, by the way, you're both adults now. So when you get married someday, don't forget to invite me! I'll definitely be there!"

Mahiru's bright eyes instantly widened in bewilderment, staring wide-eyed. "I...I understand! Goodbye, Auntie Yuki!"

"Definitely." Su Qing glanced at Zhen Zhou and said with a smile.

The video ends with a freeze-frame of Kumikawa's aunt-like smile.

As the video ended, the laptop quickly went dark.

The atmosphere in the room became tense and frozen.
