Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 332

The hairdryer suddenly stopped—Yui's hair was almost dry.

"You've blew it all out. Now check if there's anything you missed."

"Hmm...no, it's mostly dry." Yui tossed her hair, took off the hairband wrapped around her hand, and prepared to tie her hair into her usual bun.

Just then, Mahiru suddenly spoke up, "Eh—"

"What's wrong?" Yui asked curiously.

"No, it's nothing, it's just that could you let me do the hair tying too?"

"Hair tying? What kind?" Yui was clearly intrigued.

"Want to try something like this? Your hair's grown down to your shoulder blades now."

Mahiru stared at Yui's hair for a while before finally giving her advice.

"But if you don't want to, then forget it..."

"Yes, yes, I want to try it!" Yui's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Okay, okay, then please wait patiently for a while."

"Uh-huh!"

Su Qing quietly turned her gaze back.

He sometimes thinks, although people always say that a man is a boy until he dies.

But in this season when birds and fish meet, it is those sunny and cheerful girls who are eager to try every new flavor of milk tea that comes out of every shop that are the most attractive to young men.

……

Mahiru was very skilled at tying hair, after all, this was what she did most of the time, and in no time Yui had a new hairstyle.

"Let's see, what do you think?"

Mahiru thoughtfully picked up a small mirror and handed it to the other person.

"Aido... let me see."

Yui rarely goes without her hair in a bun, so she's actually feeling a bit out of sorts now.

She reached up and brushed her bangs aside, carefully examining herself in the mirror for a moment. "It feels a little strange. Am I just not used to it yet?"

"No, I think it looks great. I think you could grow your hair a little longer, and then I'll teach you a new hairstyle that would suit you perfectly."

Mahiru's eyes were smiling, but her dignified and delicate face wore a serious expression that said, "I'm not lying to you."

After saying that, she turned her head to Su Qing, who was standing to the side, and said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, you can ask him again."

"Then... what does Xiaoqing think?" Yui asked, tugging at a strand of hair, her fingertips twirling it around.

But the two did not receive a reply for a long time.

Looking over in confusion, they found Su Qing standing there, seemingly stunned.

"I, I think..."

Only when the two women's gazes met his did he stammer out an answer.

But Su Qing really didn't know what to say at that moment.

This was the first time the two women had seen Su Qing's usually composed face so uneasy, with even his lips trembling.

Do not……

is the second time.

"Haha... I think my old hair suits me better, anyway, I've gotten used to it after all these years~~"

Yui pursed her lips tightly, forcing a smile to defuse the situation.

"No, it looks good. I'm just a little thirsty, sorry, I'll go back and get some water first... Let me know when you're done."

Su Qing left after saying those words, her steps hurried.

Mahiru and Yui exchanged a glance, then quickly looked away.

……

The wait wasn't long; the girls were all ready to go out in no time. Su Qing stood on the wall by the door, waiting, or rather, daydreaming.

"All right?"

The sound of the door opening brought Su Qing back to his senses. He turned his head, and there was that familiar, reassuring smile on his face again.

"Hmm, shall we go straight to the hospital?" Mahiru asked.

“Yes.” Su Qing affirmed, glancing at Yui—who had switched back to her original one-sided bun.

For some reason, he felt a sense of relief.

"Hey, but I'm so hungry. It's almost one o'clock. Shouldn't we go eat first?" Yui subconsciously touched her stomach.

“A full physical exam requires fasting, and you probably ate little for breakfast, so it's not a big problem,” Su Qing said, shaking her head.

"What about the milk tea you promised to buy me?!" The girl seemed to remember this very clearly. Her eyes were wide open, and she looked fierce, as if to say, "You're doomed if you don't buy me one."

"You'll receive it after the physical exam," Su Qing replied.

"Hmph, that's good."

Yui's fierce expression vanished, replaced by a beautiful smile that was as warm as a spring breeze.

She strode ahead of the two, her hair tied to one side radiating energy, swaying irregularly with the swing of her arms.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going, the sooner we finish, the sooner we can eat!"

“Mahiru will do it with you too,” Su Qing suddenly said.

But the girl seemed to have lost her hearing and walked about seven or eight steps away, as if deliberately leaving them space.

"Eh, me?"

Mahiru looked up in confusion, but her thoughts were still on the girl in the distance.

Yui...you said that on purpose, to lighten the mood, right?

"Yes, just think of it as accompanying Yui. A paid physical exam and an on-campus physical exam are two different things." After Su Qing finished speaking, she apologetically patted Mahiru's head.

"I'll pay your share too, so don't argue with me about it. After all, it was my decision to ask you to pay."

Of course, it's okay if you don't want to.

"It's okay, if it's what you want..." Mahiru said, her head lowered, seemingly puzzled.

The double eyelid on her head was as broad and warm as ever, but at this moment it inexplicably made her feel a little absent-minded.

"Whether I want to or not...it has nothing to do with it, this is just my request." Su Qing's gaze was fixed on a very, very distant place, her voice ethereal and lost.

“Yes, your request. If it were your request… I might grant it.” Mahiru raised her face, her gaze fixed on those unfathomable black eyes.

"What do you mean?"

The boy suddenly lowered his head, his eyes filled with astonishment.

The girl just shook her head and remained silent, as if she didn't know either.

Mahiru gently tugged at Su Qing's hand, took two steps forward, and said with a smile, "Let's go, or Yui will get impatient."

"Yeah, that's true."

The moment I stepped out of the apartment building, the midday sun shone in at an angle.

It was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.

Even in winter, can the midday sun be so dazzling?

The three of them thought the same thing at the same time and simultaneously shielded their eyes from the sun.

[Should I choose to deceive myself again?]

Stepping out of the boundary between shadow and light, without looking back, the bottomless darkness behind her seemed to convey a sentence without any emotion or warning, yet it lingered in Su Qing's mind, impossible to shake off.

……

"There's only one item left, and I won't be able to stay with you all."

Su Qing stood in the waiting area and looked at the two women standing together.

For some tests, unlike blood tests and others, outsiders are not allowed to enter.

"Don't worry, we're not children." Mahiru gave Su Qing a resentful look.

"At times like this, you should stay put, Qing, so we don't have trouble finding you when we come out," Yui said with her hands on her hips and a grin.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here. Good luck."

Su Qing waved goodbye to the two briefly, then watched their figures disappear behind the door.

The waiting area was also filled with many people of different backgrounds.

Whether it's a husband, wife, parents, or brothers, it's all a very close and obvious relationship.

Su Qing, Mahiru, and Yui seemed somewhat out of place.

The surroundings were noisy and bustling with people. Hospitals are not allowed to make loud noises, but they can't handle the large number of people.

People come and go, chatting amongst themselves, and some might even be playing their phones out loud.

Therefore, it cannot be considered quiet.

Su Qing sat quietly on the waiting area chair, motionless, like a statue, her gaze still fixed on the white door that had long been closed.

After a while, he suddenly closed his eyes slowly, as if entering a meditative state, and the noisy sounds disappeared without a trace in an instant.

It seemed as if the whole world was left with only the boy's soft, almost sighing murmur.

Spring break... is almost over, it was really short.

"Mahiru...why don't you ask me if I like Yui?"

"Mahiru...why did you deceive yourself for my sake..."

"It's not worth it..."

"This relationship should end."

"We...should stop deceiving ourselves and running away."

PS:

For me, Oregairu is about pursuing real things that are so real they're almost unreal.

I glanced at the fanfiction and it was all about real objects, which seemed a bit boring.

These thoughts came to me two months ago and also fit the tone of this book.

Therefore, I will now write about "fakes" that are so illusory yet so real.

Chapter 373 Bubble

?

"Xiao Qing, Oi~~~ Are you asleep?"

Sunlight occasionally pierced through the dim shadows, and the girls' voices lingered in my ears.

When I opened my eyes, I saw two pretty faces, one near and one far, but both bearing the same worry.

"Qing, are you very sleepy? Or... shall we go back first?"

Seeing that Su had regained consciousness, Zhenzhu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

Has the other person been too tired lately because of the comic book project?

You should know that Su Qing would never take a short nap like this before.

As his girlfriend, she didn't notice this, which is really "negligent" of her duty...

"Yes, Xiaoqing, we thought you were asleep and were hesitating whether to wake you up."

Yui said with a beaming smile, "The last checkup is done too!"

If you're sleepy, we can just find somewhere to have lunch later. You and Mahiru can go back first, okay?

"I'm fine, and not sleepy. I'm just a little... bored."
