Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 337

"You may find it troublesome, but to me it's a cute and endearing quality that adds to your charm."

“You claim to have a bad temper, yet you always consider my feelings in every aspect of life, and you never expect me to give in to you just because you are a girl.”

Even after we started dating, you never clung to me like a girlfriend, trying to make my world revolve solely around you, which would have suffocated me.

“You always respect my feelings. Even when we have disagreements or misunderstandings, you always try to communicate with me and clear things up.”

"In this world, some people live in high-rise buildings, while others live in deep ditches. Some people shine brightly, while others are covered in rust."

"I think it was because I met you that I learned about love."

"To love someone is to accept them completely, to embrace their vibrant, complete, and therefore contradictory soul."

"I think... I love you, Mahiru."

The boy's gaze fell with the light, and his voice held endless tenderness, so tender that Mahiru's eyes welled up with tears.

"If that's how it is, if that's how it is..."

Mahiru choked back tears as she reached out to wipe away the flowing water, but there was so much that it just wouldn't stop.

She simply stopped wiping and threw herself into Su Qing's arms, wrapping her arms around him and hugging his waist tightly, as if afraid he would leave.

"If that's the case, then why did you skip class? Why did you suddenly change the lock? Why did you suddenly say such nonsensical things?"

"Why do I have to cook for you anymore?!"

"Say it!!"

Mahiru clung tightly to Su Qing. She raised her eyes, her caramel-colored eyes seeming to have been washed away by a flood, and the bitterness welling up from the bottom of her heart made it difficult for her to open them.

Even so, the girl still stared intently at Su Qing, not giving him any chance to escape.

"Because I can't keep hurting you..."

“I know better than anyone that you would never lie to yourself.”

"But everything changed since that day. Even when I asked you just now, you were still making excuses for me, finding a reason why I couldn't help but fall in love with Yui, an excuse that was understandable and forgivable. Right?"

"No...no..." Mahiru shook her head desperately, but it seemed that this was all she could say.

"Do you know how scared I was when you said you would grant me any request that day?"

Su Qing slowly closed her eyes, as if she dared not look directly at Zhen Zhou, or as if she dared not look directly at her own heart.

"I'm afraid you mean something else, I'm afraid I really won't be able to resist begging you to let me be with Yui."

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to suppress my feelings for another girl, and I’ll try every possible means to take advantage of you, deceive you, hurt you, and then make you agree to let the three of us be together.”

"That's not fair to anyone."

“I’m really afraid of that, and I’m also afraid of you deceiving yourself again and again for me, making all sorts of excuses for people like me.”

“I’m not that kind of person…no…don’t talk about yourself like that…” Mahiru’s voice sounded like it was about to break.

Su Qing slowly opened her eyes, and her dark eyes suddenly became calm.

It's like artificially erasing all emotions and factors that are detrimental to judgment.

"Mahiru, a person cannot and should not like two people at the same time, let alone like someone who loves two girls at the same time."

"We've only known each other for a short semester. This period is just a very short ripple in your life. In the future, you will always meet another person who only has eyes for you."

"Even if you don't meet that person, do you still remember? I once said you were a girl like a gardenia."

"The true meaning of gardenia flowers... should actually be 'blooming alone,' so even without you, I believe you will live a good life."

"Love isn't everything in life, especially since you've already learned to find true friends."

"So... stop liking people like me, it's not worth it at all."

Many years later, even though the two had their own child and lived together happily, everything in life was exactly what she wanted.

But Mahiru would occasionally recall Su Qing's expression at that moment.

it's wired.

He was clearly smiling, but the boy's handsome face was distorted as if he were crying, as if he were grieving.

Su Qing smiled and slowly spoke.

Dusk fell silently, and the last rays of light on the horizon faded away.

Suddenly, a storm swept across the world.

An endless turbulent current rushed past Zhenzhou's ears, like the last cicada song of midsummer.

"Shiina, I'm leaving."

"So, let's break up."

……

……

PS:

I'm really afraid of being misunderstood, so I'm being long-winded. I want to defend myself a little more.

I'm really afraid someone will say, "Isn't this just messing things up? How is this any different from the inexplicable younger brother you used to criticize in the original Angel story?"

I think so.

I can assure you that everything I've written so far is gradually moving closer to the perfect ending I envision.

Breaking up doesn't mean the end; it's just like the arguments, frictions, and adjustments that occur between couples.

So there's no need to worry too much.

Some might say the breakup was too sudden, but I want to say that this is exactly what Su Qing—a person so clear-headed—would do, and I've given her the reasons very clearly.

One reader jokingly remarked, "I'm just a novel reader, why would you write something like this about me?"

I find it hard to deny, yet I also find it hard to be certain.

Real life is so hard. If reality were a fairy tale, we would be living in a fairy tale world ruled by a demon king.

Those who are doing well must be the so-called elites of the demon race, right?

We might be cannon fodder, so we yearn for things that are hard to find in reality, and then we crave them. After that, we immerse ourselves in novels and anime, and then you and I meet here, communicating like friends.

But my friend, even novels and anime are not utopias.

Utopia is too beautiful, so beautiful that it's unreal, so unreal that it makes you fall into its trap, and so unreal that it leads to your downfall.

Anyone who seeks realism in novels and anime is a fool.

So I'm a fool.

So, no matter how painful or distorted, I want to find the only truth in this falsehood.

Chapter 375 Salted Apple

?

Su Qingzhen is really gone.

Until the very end, he still couldn't see the girl's expression clearly. Only in the dim light did he think he saw some kind of liquid shimmering.

That evening, Su Qing left the apartment with her light suitcase.

He always seemed to be so decisive in his actions, even his luggage was pitifully small, as if he was always ready to leave at any moment.

There are tickets available for flights back to mainland China at 10 p.m. that night.

But Su Qing didn't buy it.

His flight was booked for 7 a.m. the next day.

Even in the dead of winter, it's almost dawn by that time.

So Su Qing had nowhere to go at this moment. Perhaps he could try staying at a youth hostel. It was his first time in Tokyo, and there were still many things that others wanted to do but hadn't done yet.

But Su Qing did not.

He simply stood alone in front of a small park not far from his apartment, dragging his suitcase.

This is where he and Mahiru first met.

A constant stream of pedestrians passed by, but Su Qing stood there like a somber statue.

Not moving at all.

It was as if they were waiting for someone.

He was indeed waiting for someone.

But they didn't want to wait for it.

When I picked up the phone again, the flickering 22:30 on the screen was particularly glaring.

Su Qing turned off her phone and looked up at a certain spot, where there was no one.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally left the park with his suitcase.

……

"Yui, do you want an apple?"

In another apartment building, Yui Hama Kana held up a huge red apple and asked Yui, who was sitting on the sofa, with a smile.

"Is it sour? If it's sour, I won't eat it."

Yui glanced at it casually and said.

Some apples taste sour and have no sweetness whatsoever.

The girl didn't really like eating it.

She still prefers fruits like cantaloupe, just like Mahiru, Yukino, and countless ordinary girls who inexplicably love sweet and cute things.

"Oh dear, honey, you said it's too late. Look, I've already finished cutting it!"

In about a minute, Yuihama Rena came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl full of apple chunks.

The beautiful woman frowned slightly, glanced at the apple with a troubled expression, and muttered to herself in a slightly exaggerated voice.

"Oh no. I can't possibly eat all these apples by myself. They won't taste good if I leave them until tomorrow. What should I do?"

Ah, if only a kind person could help me with some of the burden right now.

Yui didn't even glance at it, remaining unmoved.

"Huh? A kind person? Dad will probably beat you to death for that!"

That's terrible. I think Mom, you should give it to Dad instead, otherwise he'll get jealous.

"Your dad's already asleep. He's been too tired from work these past few days, so it'll just be the two of us, mother and daughter, eating."

As Yui spoke, Yui sat down next to her and whispered something in her ear in a strange and malicious tone.

"Daughter, you didn't want this either..."

"I'll eat, I'll eat, Mom, please stop teasing me."

Yui gave a wry smile and took it.

"Eating more apples can replenish vitamins... Hmm?"

Before Yui could finish speaking, Yui grabbed a large piece of apple and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Vitamin C, right? Mom, you've been saying that to me since elementary school."

Yui smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"This shows that my original intention has never changed," Yuihama Kana said seriously.

"Tch." Yui curled her lip and ignored the other person.

When her mother passed away, she was more like a child than she was.

She cried and made a scene.

I'm suddenly a little curious about my parents' love story.

Or we could try to find an opportunity to get some information out of them.

The girl was feeling quite pleased with herself when she suddenly felt a slight bump on her thigh.
