Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 59

Humans perceive changes in their surroundings through their five senses, acquire information from the outside world, and thus appreciate this colorful world.

Originally, Su Qing's insight was already amazing enough. After acquiring these two talents, Su Qing found that his original observation ability was further improved, and he felt no discomfort at all. It was as if he had always been like this.

Su Qing recalled that night when the power went out, and just like that time, he could sense Shiina's heart again.

It wasn't the kind of relaxed and joyful feeling that ordinary people have when they worry about not doing well on a test. If it were like that, Su Qing wouldn't have asked such a stupid question in the first place.

The breath Shiina exhaled carried only a faint sadness and confusion; as for joy?

Perhaps there are, but they are certainly extremely rare.

"Speaking of which, Shiina seems to often help the teachers with things at school. I just saw you helping the biology teacher move some equipment last time."

Su Qing suddenly changed the subject, supporting herself with her hands behind her back, relaxing completely, and speaking in a light tone.

"Really? I do sometimes help the teacher, but I haven't seen you around."

Shiina breathed a sigh of relief when Su Qing didn't continue the previous topic.

At the same time, he was also wondering if he had overlooked Su Qing at the time, or if he had ignored her greeting because he didn't see her.

That wouldn't be good.

Shiina could only place her hopes on things, so she overthought things.

"I'm just worried that if I go up and greet you, you'll 'conscript' me to help you move things. I don't want to be a laborer."

Don't tell me, really don't tell me, it's the truth, but it's not allowed to say it out loud.

"...Do you think I'm the kind of person who would force others to do things they don't want to do?"

Shiina looked somewhat resentful, which made her cheeks puff out slightly, making her look quite adorable.

"I see, let me think about it..."

Su Qing stopped leaning back lazily and sat up straight, adopting the standard posture of a thinker.

Shiina sighed. Why was she thinking so seriously? Was this the kind of impression she usually gave Su Qing?

After a long while, Su Qing seemed to have finally figured out the answer and sighed.

"Shiina would never do something so annoying."

After all, she's an angel.

Unlike before, Su Qing no longer used a teasing, playful, and cheerful tone when she said the word "angel." This tone... it sounds familiar... like I've heard it many times before.

Where is it... Oh right, it's at school... Isn't that the tone they use when they say things like that?

But why? Why would Su Qing suddenly act like this?

"But I think you'll force yourself to do things you don't want to do."

Su Qing turned to look at Shiina, who involuntarily responded, their eyes meeting. For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

"What's the meaning……"

Su Qing's eyes remained clear as water, and Shiina could even see his own reflection in them.

"Isn't that so?"

Su Qing did not answer directly, but answered the question with a question.

And often, the question no longer needs to be answered.

Because silence is the best answer.

"I've always felt that you were putting on a brave face at school."

Besides, why try to make everyone like you?

Although they weren't in the same class, Su Qing had quite a few opportunities to see Shiina because their classes were close together and they had physical education classes together.

“But… if we don’t do that…” Shiina became a little agitated. She desperately wanted to say something, but she still didn’t know how to start.

Her eyes dimmed slightly, she lowered her head a little, and her voice was low.

"Sorry, I got a little excited just now."

"fine."

Su Qing shook her head, her tone gentle.

"Actually, it's normal for some people not to like you."

Because liking someone has nothing to do with how great they are.

As Su Qing spoke, Shiina quietly raised his eyes and saw the warm light gently falling on Su Qing's profile, adding a touch of gentleness to him, which made Shiina slightly stunned.

Just then, as if sensing Shiina's gaze, Su Qing slightly turned her head, her gaze gentle and warm, like the arrival of spring and the melting of snow.

"You need to get to know friends who like you, and love people who won't make you cry."

Go to the faraway places you want to go, and fulfill your cherished dreams.

Go and become the person you most want to be.

Su Qing's voice was ethereal and timeless, and Shiina was momentarily lost in thought upon hearing it.

[Su Qing is really cunning...]

"What if...?"

In a daze, Shiina murmured unconsciously, her voice very soft, like a lost girl talking to herself.

"Then just embark on the journey of searching gently, without rushing or taking your time."

Even if you don't find it right now, there's no need to worry. Remember, the most beautiful scenery often unfolds unexpectedly.

Su Qing spoke each word carefully, pausing between each sentence, earnestly and sincerely.

"Ugh—ugh—Shiina, what are you doing...?"

A beautiful and warm atmosphere can often be shattered in just one...

pillow?

"I'm sorry, but please don't look at me right now!"

Shiina's slightly hurried voice came through the phone. Even though Su Qing's vision was obstructed at the moment, she could guess that Shiina's ears must be so red that they looked like they could bleed.

"I don't want to look, I don't want to look, uh—anyway, you don't need to use so much force, uh—"

The angel was ultimately merciful and spared Su Qing's life.

Feeling that he could breathe slightly through his mouth and nose, even though the pillow was still pressed against Su Qing's face, he still breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, because they were so close, Su Qing could smell the faint fragrance of the cushion, which seemed to be somewhat similar to the scent on Shiina.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that's really the case. Shiina has been hugging this cushion a lot lately, so it's normal that it has picked up a bit of a smell.

However, this feeling is really strange, like a traitor suddenly appearing in your home.

After a short while, Su Qing felt the force from the cushion gradually weaken and then fall onto her knees.

However, Su Qing closed her eyes tightly and asked.

"Can I watch it now?"

What?

Shiina chuckled softly when she saw Su Qing's tightly closed eyes and the furrowed brows that made them so.

"Now, that's fine."

"Adjusted so quickly?" Su Qing asked in surprise.

"Thank you."

Shiina said softly.

"Well, you're welcome."

Although I don't know what Shiina is thanking for, saying "you're welcome" is definitely the right thing to do.

Do you know what I'm thanking you for?

"Um... I don't know."

Su Qing wasn't embarrassed; she simply returned a smile.

"Hmph, if you don't know, then it seems I'm the more cunning one, aren't I?"

Shiina suddenly stood up and took a few steps. Due to the air movement, the fragrance of gardenias became even stronger.

"Cunning? Are you a little fox?"

"Well, who knows? You never know, it might be true."

Shiina's voice is clear and melodious, with a touch of playfulness and liveliness, like a butterfly fluttering lightly in spring, bringing joy to the listener.

"Then I'll be the big bad wolf and eat you up!"

Su Qing likes to make jokes.

"Doesn't the big bad wolf eat little white rabbits?"

The learned Shiina pointed out Su Qing's mistake.

"I am the great demon gray wolf, and I love to eat cunning foxes like you."

Su Qing retorted.

"Yes, is that so..."

"That's it."

"Um, I have something to do, I'll head back now..."

When Shiina left, she was clearly flustered, and her steps were faster than usual, as if she was really worried that the big bad wolf would eat her up.

It seems like it won't be that easy to get back on track.

Su Qing sighed helplessly, "Am I some kind of bad or fierce person? I cooperated with your performance, yet I'm still treated like a real big bad wolf."

It's truly chilling!

Su Qing watched Shiina's departing figure with a deep, melancholy gaze.

Everyone in this world has their own secrets. Shiina is one, and so is Su Qing.

Su Qing had no intention of delving into Shiina's past and experiences, nor did she intend to gossip about Shiina's deepest secrets.

He simply didn't want to see that little girl again, lost and dejected, hiding on a park swing in the rain, yet still wary and aloof, refusing anyone's umbrella.

That's all.

So he did it.

That's all.

In the living room, for some unknown reason, the lights flickered twice before returning to normal after a moment.

Su Qing remained seated on the sofa, her figure motionless.

But his gaze remained unchanged, deep and serene.

Chapter 81 A Welcome Thing (1)

If you were to ask someone who is currently a student, when is the happiest time?

So, among the legitimate and reasonable answers, only holidays seem to be left.

If we were to further categorize holidays into different levels, the only option would probably be the holidays immediately following exams.

After all, this is a special stage where one is half-dead and half-alive, and even if the Black and White Impermanence came, they would have to leave disappointed.

During this stage of near-death experience, gifted students often awaken a superpower called "precognition."

That is, being able to accurately predict one's own death date after knowing the day of one's birth is an astonishing supernatural power that comprehends the profound meaning of life and death, something that ordinary people cannot obtain.

On Monday, students who had just finished their weekend of revelry returned to school one after another. The second-year students were filled with laughter and chatter, with boys and girls playing and laughing together.

Everyone seems to have forgotten about the incredibly difficult joint exam of the three schools last week, even though it was related to whether sophomores could participate in the sports festival.

However, at this moment, most students were thinking the same thing: if possible, they would never have to know the results of the three-school joint exam, and they would even be willing to skip the sports festival in their sophomore year.
