Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

Su Qing's house, on the sofa.

At this moment, Mahiru was lying happily on Su Qing's thighs as she wished, and she was covered with a small blanket that Su Qing had prepared. The blanket was soft and warm, and it fit her petite body perfectly.

"There's hair? Just remove it..."

Su Qing's eyes slowly moved down from the phone screen, and suddenly, he found that a few naughty strands of hair had quietly slipped onto Mahiru's delicate red lips without him knowing when.

Worried that Mahiru would feel uncomfortable, Su Qing put the phone aside and gently removed the hair stuck to her lips.

Perhaps it was because Mahiru had just fallen asleep, even though Su Qing's movements were as gentle as possible, she still reacted immediately.

"Ugh—Don't move, Little Pi!"

Mahiru, who was sleeping, suddenly frowned, as if she was fighting against something unpleasant in her dream, and then she grumbled a few times in dissatisfaction.

After warning "Xiao Pi", she did not forget to rub her head against him. Her hands did not calm down either, but followed the clues to get behind "Xiao Pi" and held on tightly, as if seeking some kind of reassurance.

"This kind of Xiaopi is a good child... However, Xiaopi seems a little hard today..."

Mahiru frowned in confusion, but after a few extremely rare giggles, her brows quickly relaxed and a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face, like a child who got a favorite toy.

Su Qing didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing the other person's rest with his actions.

Now Mahiru's breathing gradually became steady, which meant that she was slowly falling into a sweet dream. Su Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[Xiaopi? Do you mean the Pikachu I gave her?]

The first thing Su Qing thought of was the Pikachu he had given to the other person that day, but why did he suddenly mention its name in his dream?

After ruling out the possibility that Mahiru also wants to become a Pokémon Master, the only possibility left is that she has the habit of sleeping with a Pikachu doll in her arms.

It's normal for girls to sleep with a doll in their arms, it's no big deal.

Su Qing said so in his heart.

But Mahiru seemed cuter than ever in her sleep.

Normally Mahiru is cute enough.

Now, she had let go of all her guard and just lay quietly on his lap, even hugging her belly tightly and rubbing it like a kitten from time to time, followed by a few soft and sticky sounds.

Oops……

This is more than just cute...

[I shouldn’t have agreed to Mahiru’s request…]

Su Qing could only vent his sigh in his heart, and he felt a little regretful now.

If he knew that Mahiru had such bad sleeping habits that she even needed to hold something to fall asleep, he didn't think he would agree.

At the very least, he would agree only after he captured "Xiao Pi" for the other party.

“XXX”

Mahiru seemed to have a habit of talking in her sleep. Su Qing could now hear her vaguely saying something, and judging from her tone, it seemed that her voice was even more mixed with her personal temper than her previous sleep talk.

The soft and subtle sound made Su Qing feel itchy inside, as if there were ants crawling around.

So he lowered his head slightly to listen to what Mahiru was saying.

"clear……"

Mahiru's words were confused, but Su Qing could still roughly hear that the other party was calling his name.

After thinking it over again and again, Su Qing still felt that eavesdropping on other people's dreams was not a good idea. The other person was lying in his arms like this out of trust, but he was thinking about eavesdropping on other people's dreams?

The first few times he had no choice, but this time he did it on purpose.

Su Qing couldn't help but feel guilty...

However, just as he was about to raise his head, Mahiru slowly uttered the last few words:

"It's an idiot!"

After Mahiru murmured this, Su Qing could clearly feel that the other party was holding him even tighter.

Qing? Are you stupid?

Doesn’t it mean...he is a fool?

So why hold on to him, idiot.

Mahiru should be the idiot!

Su Qing's face was filled with black lines on the spot.

He was now wondering if Mahiru was asleep.

Could it be that she is trying to find a new way to play a trick on me today, pretending to sleep on his lap?

After staring at Mahiru's pink face for a while, Su Qing suddenly had a strange idea.

——Do you want to pinch it secretly?

You know, he had experienced that feeling not long ago...it was amazing.

Specifically, it is soft and smooth.

If Su Qing hadn't opened his eyes, he would probably have the illusion that he was kneading pudding or jelly.

However, when Su Qing caught a glimpse of Mahiru's reassuring smile, this strange idea was declared bankrupt.

[Have a good rest, Mahiru...]

Su Qing slowly withdrew his gaze from Mahiru, turned his neck slightly, and turned his eyes straight ahead.

What was there was just a window that couldn't be more ordinary.

Frankly speaking, there's nothing much to see.

At least not as good as the sea view room.

Generally speaking, in a sea view room, you can enjoy the fascinating sunrise over the sea or other beautiful natural scenery just by gently opening the window.

However, here, in this modern city, all that comes into view are at most skyscrapers that soar into the sky.

Despite this, when the soft and warm sunlight in the early morning shone through the gaps in the windows and floated on the smooth porcelain tiles in the living room like light, flying golden maple leaves, Su Qing couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in his heart.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and everything around became quiet and peaceful.

[It’s great to be able to come to this world...]

This was not the first time that Su Qing had expressed such emotion. During his last speech at school, he couldn't help but have this thought in his mind, but now the feeling was even stronger.

His gaze moved again, this time landing on the thermos cup on the table not far in front.

Not long ago, the thermos was filled with soy milk that the girl had spent so much time and effort on.

To this day, I can still smell the sweetness of soy milk in that thermos cup...

For this reason, the girl is now lying sleepily on the boy's lap.

The girl's purpose in doing this is very easy to understand. She just wants to give the boy a taste of home.

It’s an idea that couldn’t be simpler, even to the point of being a little stupid.

She also didn't know how to ask Su Qingxi in advance whether she liked drinking soy milk.

She just knew that Su Qing was from mainland China, and there was no mainland-style breakfast on the island.

She just knew that Su Qing went for a morning run every day, and she was clear that he couldn't make breakfast for himself.

So she did it, and even asked herself afterwards whether she wanted to eat fried dough sticks.

It's the taste from [hometown] again.

Stupid or not?

People who are unwilling to be lonely always gather together for warmth, but they always only maintain formal contact.

Even asking "Do you want to eat?" is just a symbolic question out of politeness.

But if it was Mahiru, Su Qing knew that as long as he didn't explicitly express his refusal.

The silly girl in his arms would definitely look serious and not give Su Qing any room. After returning home, she would start to study how to make fried dough sticks.

Are you stupid?

But who in this world is not stupid?

Even Su Qing, who possessed extraordinary memory and learning ability, never thought that he was smart.

On the contrary, he also considered himself stupid...

He was so stupid that he couldn't tell what the girl in his arms felt towards him.

Is it dependence without support?

Is it respect for friends?

Is it a contractual responsibility?

still is……

Beyond all this, the "like"?
