Yui didn't explain, but simply patted the little girl's head a few times before returning to Su Qing's side.
"All done?" Su Qing asked with a smile.
"Hmm..." Yui seemed to have something on her mind, her tone somewhat low.
"Let's go sit over there for a while."
Su Qing noticed Yui's low spirits but didn't press her for details. Instead, she took the leash of Sabre and pointed ahead.
"it is good."
After the two sat down for a while, Yui took out the candy and said weakly.
"Here, have some."
"Did you get this in exchange for that sundae?" Su Qing was amused and didn't take the candy.
Seeing that Su Qing did not accept the candy, Yui put it away and then asked in a low voice.
"Will Xiaoqing be angry?"
"What are you angry about?"
"Yes, yes, I gave the sundae you gave me to that little girl..." Yui said, her head drooping, her voice lacking energy.
"Fool."
Su Qing didn't say whether she was angry or not, but tapped Yui's head harder than usual.
"Ah, it hurts."
Yui looked at Su Qing with teary eyes and a wronged expression, like a pitiful puppy abandoned by its owner.
"Isn't this more like you?"
Seemingly realizing that she had indeed used too much force, Su Qing gently stroked the spot she had just tapped.
"What do you mean?"
Yui felt a little shy as Su Qing gently stroked her.
As dusk approached, the crimson glow of the setting sun secretly touched the girl's neck.
"That means Yui should be this silly."
"I'm not stupid!"
Yui got angry, and the consequences were serious. So, in a fit of rage, she puffed out her little lips and pretended to be a little pufferfish.
Su Qing chuckled a few times, then playfully poked Yui's cheek with her finger. It was soft, and the puffy cheek flattened out with the touch.
Then, Su Qing took out the remaining sundae, which was strawberry flavored.
"The boss just happened to give us an extra spoon, let's eat together." Su Qing handed Yui a spoon, took a bite herself, and urged her after seeing that Yui was still in a daze.
"Hurry up and eat! Otherwise, it'll turn into water and splash on your face."
"Here we come, what's with the fierceness (● ̄(エ) ̄●)." Yui muttered a few words under her breath, then, with a smile she couldn't hide, she and Su Qing happily started eating together, taking turns eating.
"Why are you so confident that I can get that balloon?"
After a moment of silence, Su Qing suddenly asked.
"Because, because I think Xiaoqing is super amazing, it feels like she can do anything."
Yui shouted excitedly, her tone unconsciously tinged with pride.
"Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I didn't get it?"
Su Qing looked at Yui with great interest; he wanted to see the girl's reaction.
"It's okay if you don't get it, because I know Xiaoqing definitely did her best!"
Yui continued eating her sundae without a clear plan, then excitedly exclaimed as if she had just thought of a great idea.
"And if you can't get it, just ride me up and get it!"
"Idiot, how could you possibly support me? If anyone should be riding, it should be you riding me."
Su Qing was defeated by the girl's thought process and sighed helplessly.
"Huh? Hehe, it seems that's true."
Yui wasn't angry when she was called an idiot; she just chuckled to herself, her little legs swaying up and down in a light, rhythmic motion.
As her legs moved lightly, her skirt swayed gently, like a newly blossoming flower swaying slowly in the breeze, exuding a faint youthful charm.
Su Qing once again began to doubt Yui Yuigahama's intelligence, thinking that she must have been a silly roe deer in her past life.
He turned his gaze to the distance ahead, no longer looking at Yui, but a slight smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Because it was nearing evening, the weather wasn't too hot, and it was rather refreshing. For some reason, a fountain not far away wasn't firing, and several elementary school-aged children seemed to be playing a game called "Dynamic Kamen vs. Ultraman," their cheerful laughter audible to Su Qing.
Occasionally, cicadas chirp, creating a beautiful melody with the rustling of the wind through the leaves.
The feeling of peaceful and serene times is truly wonderful.
Su Qing liked this feeling very much, but he rarely had the chance to experience it so vividly.
"Why do you keep looking at me?"
Su Qing had noticed from the beginning that the girl's gaze was fixed on him and showed no sign of leaving.
"I'm so happy today!" The light and cheerful voice reflected the girl's mood.
"Really? That's good. But I have a feeling you're not surprised that I shared my sundae with you."
"Because, I know..." the girl said, keeping him in suspense.
"Know what?" Su Qing asked, getting to the bottom of things.
"I know Xiaoqing is the best to me!"
The girl shouted excitedly to Su Qing like a child.
Do you say this to everyone?
Su Qing felt that the other party was very likely just trying to get free food from her friend, and that she would clearly ask for the "friendship fee." Sigma men wouldn't fall for that.
"That's not true!"
Yui was a little angry and dissatisfied, but then she became a little awkward.
"I only said that to you..."
My heart stopped for a moment.
Su Qing finally turned his head. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to see Yui's face. The blush on the horizon made the girl's face look rosy, and he could even clearly see her delicate body trembling slightly due to nervousness.
However, there was no evasive look in his eyes. He stared straight at Su Qing, their gazes meeting in the air, sparking a flame in their hearts.
The eye contact between lovers is a spiritual kiss without sexual desire.
Su Qing suddenly thought of this sentence, but he had never loved anyone and did not understand what love was, so his eyes became even deeper as he stared intently at Yui's bright eyes.
The eyes are the windows to the soul.
He wanted to observe Yui's inner thoughts through her eyes; this wasn't the first time he'd done this.
then
Su Qing both failed and succeeded.
He did see something in the girl's eyes.
just,
But what I saw was myself.
Whether in a physical sense,
Or perhaps in a more personal or emotional sense,
Yes, there is nothing but myself...
"you……"
Su Qing wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so much so that even her voice was barely audible.
The girl suddenly stood up, patted her pretty dress as if to keep it neat, and then stood in front of Su Qing, also in front of the fountain.
The girl twirled gently, her pale pink dress swaying lightly like the gentlest spring breeze, carrying a faint floral fragrance, radiating the most natural and pure beauty.
She gently placed her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and her face was filled with unadorned joy. Her smile was like the rising sun, warm and bright. Su Qing could even hear the tremor in her voice caused by excitement.
"Today was really, really happy."
Behind us, the fountain had quietly sprung up at some point, its water droplets sparkling in the sunlight, then mingling with the carefree laughter of several children, creating a beautiful scene.
Then the girl said something else.
"Also, Xiaoqing is the best to me!"
The girl laughed heartily and sincerely.
Meaningless repetition
Su Qing remained silent.
However, he doesn't dislike it today.
P.S.: I don't read books regularly, so I don't produce any writing output.
My writing skills are becoming increasingly limited, sigh.
I have something to attend to at home and need to take the day off today. Please forgive me.
Chapter 65 (Extra Chapter): Su Qing's Family's Qixi Festival
"what!"
Mahiru gasped in surprise as she was suddenly hugged from behind, but quickly calmed down after feeling the familiar warmth and scent. She then playfully complained.
"What's wrong, Qing? I'm still cooking."
"Are you almost done?"
Su Qing buried her head deep in Mahiru's smooth, flaxen hair. The pleasant scent of shampoo combined with Shiina's natural fragrance, unlike the pungent smell of perfume, was refreshing and alluring, exuding irresistible charm. Su Qing then greedily indulged in this, thinking that it wouldn't be so bad to succumb to it.
However… he wanted more, much more. Thinking of this, he tightened his grip on Mahiru's stomach, and at the same time, his body seemed to move even closer to Mahiru.
"Almost done! What's wrong with you today? You're hungry so quickly. Sweetie, I'll make dinner right away."
Mahiru spoke softly, as if coaxing a child, using extremely indulgent words.
Despite feeling somewhat uncomfortable and finding it difficult to move around due to being bound by Su Qing, the warmth that welled up in her heart and Su Qing's longing and dependence on her made her equally captivated.
Love is never something that one person can enjoy alone.
"You know that, Zhou'er~"
Su Qing said this out of the blue, then buried her head even deeper. Mahiru was already a little shy from Su Qing's tight embrace, and the other woman's childlike, coquettish tone made her blush even more. At the same time, a strange warm current flowed from her chest throughout her body, a tingling, numb sensation.
Su Qing rarely acted like this towards her. Usually, he would only show his most reliable side. No matter what, he would always watch over her, accompany her, and protect her from the wind and rain. He really kept his promise to her.
Mahiru's lips unconsciously curled up slightly, but she also felt a bit resentful inside. It wasn't that the other person had done anything wrong; on the contrary, the other person had protected her too well.
She once read it in a book:
Happy people use their childhood to heal their entire lives; unhappy people spend their entire lives healing from their childhood.
She was incredibly lucky, of course. She had thought about things countless times in the dead of night, then fallen asleep, only to wake up in a fright.
If you don't need me, why did you bring me into this world?
She has always been like this all these years, even though she has long been determined to stay away from that family, and even though she has told herself time and time again not to have any hope for that family anymore.
If only that were true. I can't tell if it's an obsession or a longing for their love. I know it's impossible, but I still... I can't help but hold onto a sliver of hope.
If it weren't for that, if I really didn't care, I wouldn't have been lost in the park on that rainy day.
But it is precisely because of this that I was able to meet him, who cherishes me and will protect me for a lifetime.
Why don't you rely on me anymore, or act cute and affectionate with me?
This is the kind of resentment that Mahiru harbors in her heart.
In fact, Su Qing had gradually begun to rely on Mahiru, and this moment was undoubtedly her best performance. But Mahiru always felt that it wasn't enough; compared to what she had received, what she had given seemed really very little.
