Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Or is it because...?

Su Qing didn't have much time to think, because the next moment his attention was drawn to a warmth coming from his palm.

It was Mahiru who held him tightly with her slender but not weak hand.

"What's wrong?" Su Qing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously tried to pull away, but was tightly restrained. Worried that she might hurt Zhen Zhou if she used too much force, Su Qing could only let the other person do as she pleased.

"Why... do you want to break free?" Mahiru stared at Su Qing, her delicate face full of seriousness.

"That was just an instinctive reaction. You're the one who... why did you suddenly grab me?" Su Qing explained before asking in return.

Mahiru didn't answer Su Qing's question immediately. She simply rubbed Su Qing's hands together and said:

"It's very warm."

"Well, I'm not very afraid of the cold," Su Qing said casually.

He's not just not afraid of the cold...

Since that near-death experience in winter, his body seemed to have developed an antibody against the cold. He no longer gets fevers or colds from being cold, and he has never worn thick clothes to protect himself from the cold.

Because... he doesn't need it.

"Even so, don't get too cocky. That's often how illnesses are caused," Mahiru said tenderly, like a mother to Su Qing.

"For someone like you who deliberately got caught in the rain on our first meeting, it doesn't seem appropriate to say that, does it?" Su Qing teased, as if amused by Mahiru's words.

"Well, there's a reason for that..." Mahiru glared at Su Qing with dissatisfaction. Although she was happy that he still remembered their first meeting, sometimes it wasn't necessary to remember so clearly...

"I know," Su Qing nodded, without denying it.

"You know that's good... Anyway, this coat is very big, let's wear it together?" Mahiru seemed satisfied with Su Qing's performance, smiled and nodded, then asked in a low voice.

"Then why don't we just go inside? There's no need to specifically stay on the balcony." Su Qing clearly didn't appreciate the offer and politely declined Mahiru's kindness.

"...I'd like to stay outside a little longer, is that alright?" Mahiru asked softly, tilting her head up.

"In that case, I'll go get two chairs first. Wait for me a moment." Upon hearing this, Su Qing opened the balcony door and went inside to get the chairs.

He naturally understood what Mahiru meant. If she really just wanted to stay outside for a while, why would she need to ask for his opinion?

What Mahiru really wanted to ask was whether Su Qing could stay with her a little longer.

Su Qing agreed.

A moment later, Su Qing returned to the balcony, carrying a chair in each hand, one for herself and the other for Mahiru.

"Thank you." Mahiru put her hair back, but didn't sit down immediately. Instead, she pulled the chair closer to Su Qing, sat down slowly, and then draped the other half of her coat over Su Qing's shoulders.

“Come a little closer,” Mahiru suggested.

The coats couldn't cover them well enough, so they had to get quite close together.

"No need... I'm not cold." Su Qing was about to refuse, but the next moment he clearly felt Mahiru's body temperature.

You don't come to me.

I then walked towards you.

As Mahiru thought this, her body did the same.

"you……"

"Disobedience is not something a good child should do!"

Su Qing's spellcasting was interrupted by Mahou once again, but with a difference in that:

This time, Mahiru's words were full of affection.

"Good boy and all that..." Su Qing was both amused and exasperated, but Zhen Zhou was very serious, so he had no choice but to do as she said.

However, just as Su Qing listened to Mahiru's words and moved closer to the other party.

Mahiru's hand had somehow moved to his other side, as if silently guiding him.

Then, taking advantage of Su Qing's approach, Mahiru used the force to subtly adjust her body.

In the end, Su Qing collapsed in Zhen Dao's bed in a completely daze...

On the thigh?!

……

Chapter 171 True Feelings Under the Stars

"Don't move, just lie on my lap for a while. Otherwise... hehe~"

Su Qing was about to pull some tricks when Zhen Zhou noticed him, clenched his fist the size of a small steamed bun, snorted twice, and warned him triumphantly.

"I'll listen to you..." Su Qing sighed softly, and could only give up her plan to struggle.

But how did Mahiru become so cunning?

On the surface, she said she wanted to share a coat with him, and Su Qing was just wondering why he suddenly wanted to do that.

Okay, okay, I see!

The version updates are happening too fast; anyway, Su Qing is behaving himself now.

Speaking of which... Su Qing has never used a lap pillow before. He has heard the term, but has never actually done it.

To be honest, he originally thought that a lap pillow was the same as leaning against a soft pillow, or even that the latter was much more comfortable.

In retrospect, he was short-sighted.

Are all girls' thighs as soft and comfortable as Mahiru's?

Especially since Mahiru seemed to have taken a bath not long ago, now that the two of them were so close, he could easily smell that delicate fragrance.

A normal person's heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. So what is his heart rate now?

Su Qing wasn't sure, but the only thing she was sure of was that her heart rate was definitely not within the normal range.

"You...you don't move..." Mahiru said coquettishly, but her warning was like a ripe red apple tempting people, filling them with imagination.

"I didn't move around randomly. I was just finding a comfortable angle." Su Qing said innocently with a smile on her face.

He now intends to make Mahiru pay a small price for her scheme.

"So... have you found one yet?"

This was Su Qing's first time using a lap pillow, and wasn't it the same for Zhen Zhou?

She had only read in a book that such actions could be used to restore a man's energy, but the book didn't mention anything about using a lap pillow for this purpose—

This makes my heart race!

In particular, Mahiru could feel Su Qing's face rubbing against her thigh.

Moreover, she was wearing autumn pajamas. Although they were long-sleeved and long-legged, the material was still thin. Mahiru even had the illusion that Su Qing was directly touching the skin on her thigh.

Not to mention……

She could still feel Su Qing's hot breath from time to time.

With each breath the other person exhaled, she could clearly feel her whole body stiffen.

Now, Mahiru is in a real bind, caught between a rock and a hard place.

But isn't this also a case of reaping what you sow?

Mahiru bit her thin lips lightly. What she couldn't understand the most was why Su Qing looked so familiar with the situation.

Could it be... that this wasn't his first time?

Has this happened many times already?

"W-How is it?" Mahiru asked cautiously.

"What do you mean, how?" Su Qing pretended to be clueless and asked in return.

“You know…” Mahiru lowered her head, a few strands of hair falling down, her voice somewhat dejected.

"This is the first time I've been treated like this... It's novel and comfortable." Having made enough of the joke, Su Qing knew when to stop and answered truthfully.

"That's good." Mahiru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.

As for whether it was because he heard it was Su Qing's first time, or because he heard Su Qing's high praise.

If it's a true daytime event, then I suppose... it should be both.

"Why did you suddenly do this?" After a while, Su Qing seemed to have found the right angle and stopped making any noise, so she asked in a low voice.

“It’s your… punishment.” Mahiru thought for a moment and replied with a smile.

"Punishment? I answered everything correctly, is there still a punishment?"

Su Qing was completely stunned. Where did this extra punishment come from?

"Hmm...it's not a punishment for answering correctly."

"what is that?"

"Yes... I was supposed to reward you, but it turned into you rewarding me. This is your punishment for taking the initiative." Mahiru puffed out her cheeks slightly, and then, taking advantage of Su Qing's momentary lapse in attention, she gently pinched his cheek.

"Wait... don't you think this punishment is a bit far-fetched?" Su Qing fell into deep thought. The girl's logic was, in some ways, no less than Yui's!

He made a token defense of himself, but it had no real effect and only emboldened the girl's "arrogant and domineering" attitude.

"I don't think it's far-fetched; on the contrary, it makes perfect sense." Mahiru first narrowed her eyes slightly. Based on Su Qing's understanding of her, that was a gesture a girl would make when she was in a good mood.

For example, he would do this when stroking a girl's head.

Su Qing pursed her lips but didn't say anything.

The next moment, the hand that had pinched his cheek was gently placed on his black hair.

"May I... touch your hair?"

"Aren't you already touching me?"

“That makes sense.” Mahiru feigned surprise at first, then said matter-of-factly:

"So didn't I tell you, girls can sometimes... just be this capricious~"

"Isn't this reason a bit too convenient?" Su Qing sighed inwardly, but went along with it.

"Right? I've been so capricious with you..." Mahiru paused, then said in an even gentler tone, as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"So...you can be a little more willful with me, okay?"

The girl's soft voice echoed gently in the quiet night sky.

“...It’s already quite extravagant of me to ask you to make dinner normally,” Su Qing said after a moment of silence.

"I'm not referring to that... that's the agreement we made, isn't it?"

"Be a little willful, like you are now, and act cute with me~"

"I'm not a child anymore," Su Qing said helplessly.

"You treat me like a child, but you won't let me treat you like one?" Mahiru complained, then began to accuse:

"And... I've already cried in front of you once."

"What do you mean?" Su Qing asked, puzzled, though he certainly remembered.

"I won't cry in front of people I don't trust." Mahiru continued to gently stroke Su Qing's hair, then revealed a faint smile:

It means... I trust you a lot...

"Hmm." Su Qing didn't know what to say, so he could only respond in an evasive manner.

"Kiyo-kun." Mahiru softly called out Su Qing's name, just like that night when the power went out, and Su Qing responded once again:

"I'm here."

"Every day since I met you has been filled with happiness. So... please don't show such a sad expression in the future."

“I didn’t…” Su Qing interrupted, denying it.

Mahiru ignored her, lowering her head even further until she met Su Qing's dark, night-like eyes.

Then, Mahiru spoke with unusual seriousness, word by word:

"Calling it 'home' might be a bit of an exaggeration."

"But... there's one thing I'm sure of."
