……
Around 10 o'clock, Mahiru walked out of her house, changed her clothes, and was clearly about to go out.
"Are you going out?"
Su Qing stood at the door and asked.
“Yes, someone asked me out, and I have no reason to refuse.” Mahiru nodded.
Seeing her boyfriend's worried expression, she playfully poked his cheek. "Don't worry, it's not a boy, it's a girl, so cheer up!"
"That's not what I was thinking about..."
Su Qing didn't ask who it was specifically, and he didn't have an excessive desire for control.
"What are you thinking about?" Mahiru asked curiously.
"I'm thinking about what to make for you for lunch."
"Are you going to do it at noon too?" Mahiru was taken aback, her tone slightly resentful. "It feels like you've taken all my work away from me."
"Shall we cook together at noon?" Su Qing asked.
"Sounds pretty good~" Mahiru's eyes were full of longing.
"Then you come back early."
"Okay," Mahiru obediently replied, then glanced around warily.
Only after making sure no one was around did she boldly snuggle into Su Qing's arms, basking in his warmth for a while before tiptoeing up and kissing his cheek.
After it was over, the girl lowered her head and said, "I...I'm leaving."
……
After Mahiru left, Su Qing touched her face, which still had the lingering scent of citrus, quite captivating.
Fifteen minutes later.
With the girl gone, Su Qing had nothing to do at home, which made her feel uneasy and restless.
He was a little worried that the girl Mahiru was meeting might be her mother, Shiina Sayo.
This also falls under the category of "women"...
I can't put my mind at ease at all.
After letting out a soft sigh, Su Qing quickly changed her clothes and went out.
……
……
PS:
Let me explain why I didn't update yesterday.
Very simple.
It's just a lack of motivation; I'm just doubting myself.
I have too little life experience and no writing experience, so I can't write about that warm, gentle sense of everyday life.
Yes, so I need to reflect on this and try my best to change.
But that's all we can do.
As for the plot development that many people are concerned about, only Mahiru's birthday remains as the key point.
After that, the series will truly feature multiple female leads.
Chapter 352-Light
?
"is that OK?"
Since it was late when she was about to leave last night, and Yukino couldn't refuse Yui's mother's hospitality, she stayed at Yui's house again.
After breakfast, Yui took the opportunity to drop Yukino off at the station.
When they parted, Yukino learned of the other's thoughts and couldn't help but ask with concern.
"it's okay no problem!"
Yui patted her chest confidently, then shoved Yukino towards the train. "I can't always rely on you guys, can I?"
"Then...do your best."
"Ok."
……
OK my foot!
Inside a dessert shop on the commercial street, Yui and Mahiru sat facing each other.
The girl covered her head and repented.
I'm so sorry, Xiaoxue, I'm so embarrassed, sob sob.
Yui's fingers traced invisible swirls on the tablecloth, her throat feeling like it was stuffed with a bubbly glutinous rice ball.
How can I tell someone's girlfriend that I like her boyfriend and want to remain friends in the future?
"You invited me here, probably to talk about Qingjun, right?"
Silently watching the girl's fingers twisting together in embarrassment, Mahiru suddenly spoke up.
The attitude was very gentle.
Mahiru received a message from the other party after having breakfast.
The two had previously maintained a similar good online relationship, and this was the first time they had talked face-to-face like this.
This makes it sound a bit like meeting someone in real life.
"Hmm...that's right, but it's also related to you." Yui blinked in surprise, then nodded without denying it. "Also...what I'm about to say might sound a little strange."
“It’s alright, go ahead and say it,” Mahiru said.
Yui took a deep breath, then slowly said, "That's right, I actually like Kiyoshi..."
Mahiru remained calm. "I know about this."
"Eh!?" Yui's elbow bumped into the cup and saucer, causing the cocoa liquid to slosh dangerously around the rim.
“Because…it’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? At least for girls who like the same person.” Mahiru smiled slightly.
“That’s true.” Yui kept twirling the cotton ball on her cuff with her thumb. “But my feelings for you are only one-sided, and besides, you two are together now…”
"Hmm... It might sound a bit selfish to say this, but I still want to remain friends with Xiaoqing."
At this point, the girl suddenly waved her hands repeatedly.
"But I absolutely did not intend to ruin your relationship! As I said, it's just that I fell for him on my own."
But even without this affection, he is still a very important friend to me...
So it would be very strange for us to suddenly break off our friendship for this reason, but I don't want you to misunderstand.
"Is that so?" Mahiru tilted her head, seemingly lost in thought.
Suddenly, she joked, "I thought you invited me here today to declare war on me or something..."
"How is that possible!" The girl's voice suddenly rose several decibels, instantly attracting surprised glances from the other guests sitting next to her.
Realizing that this was a public place, Yui shrank her pink cheeks and gave an embarrassed smile.
"I'm not planning to confess to him, and besides, would anyone really declare war on someone?"
And also... I'd like to be your friend too.
"To be...friends?" Mahiru blinked her beautiful eyes blankly, her voice tinged with doubt.
"Mmm..." Yui pursed her lips nervously.
He secretly thought to himself that he was really stupid.
But... she knew all too well how clumsy she was.
This is the best answer she can think of at this stage.
Of course, she could choose to let nothing happen and continue the ambiguous relationship with Su Qing, or maintain the self-deceiving game of being good friends.
But that won't work.
If that's the case, then there's no progress at all, is there?
Therefore, she can probably only be honest with Mahiru in her relationship with Su Qing if she is honest with her.
……
That is indeed a bit strange.
Hearing the girl's somewhat clumsy yet sincere request, Mahiru couldn't help but smile.
A girl who wears her heart on her sleeve like that makes it impossible for anyone to feel any wariness or other negative emotions towards her.
"Whether it's you or Qingjun who you choose to be friends with, I can't really control that."
So it doesn't matter if you don't tell me these things today.
After all, he's still my boyfriend.
Mahiru calmly stirred the hot cocoa in her cup, her head bowed.
"Isn't it a bit strange of me to act like this?" Yui asked.
"No, not at all." Mahiru looked up and smiled gently. "What I feel more is novelty, isn't it?"
After all, none of the girls I know seem to do something like that.
"Ah...how come it's exactly the same as Xiaoxue's?"
Among girls, saying something like that means I'm really weird!
"Okay, then you are a bit strange."
Mahiru covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
Yui was on the verge of tears, but quickly relaxed and laughed.
Sunlight streamed obliquely through the glass window, the scent of sunshine mingling with the sweet aroma of caramel pudding in the air, creating a sense of peace.
The bonds between people can sometimes be quite simple.
One party is honest, and the other party accepts it.
But the simplest things are often the most complex.
The two girls had already chatted online for a while and had a very good impression of each other. With Su Qing as the "connector," they quickly became acquainted.
"He made a huge feast today, it totally surprised me!" Mahiru couldn't help but share.
"It can't be real, right? How could that Qing make anything other than culinary disasters?!" Yui stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
“It’s true.” Mahiru’s eyes softened. “He must have tried his best for this too.”
……
"It's almost time, I have to go back. He's still waiting for me."
Mahiru glanced at the time and apologized.
"Oh, it's nothing, I need to go home for dinner too."
Yui blinked, tilted her body to look at a spot behind Mahiru, then lowered her head and asked in a low voice.
"By the way, doesn't that person in the back look like Xiao Qing?"
Upon hearing this, Mahiru quickly followed Yui's gaze and looked back. She recognized the other person at a glance, paused for a moment, and then smiled happily.
……
"So, Qingjun, aren't you going to explain why you're here?"
After confirming that it was Su Qing, Jieyi wisely ran away, and the two of them are on their way back now.
