Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

"Oh? So someone knew that I've been avoiding you these past few days?" Su Qing pretended to suddenly realize something and continued.

Yes, ever since the power outage, Shiina has been leaving in a hurry after eating and washing the dishes these past few days. Of course, this is normal, since the two of them had only agreed to split the cost of dinner, and weren't actually living together. But that didn't stop Su Qing from trying to trick Shiina.

"I...I'm sorry." Shiina raised her head and apologized somewhat solemnly. These past few days, she had indeed been avoiding Su Qing a bit, because for some reason, she just couldn't look Su Qing in the eye. Every time she looked at him for a few more seconds, her heart seemed to race.

"Idiot, I was just kidding."

Su Qing took out the stinky tofu she had bought and pushed out the box of non-spicy dried stinky tofu.

"Want to try it? It's a local specialty snack from mainland China. I've had it a few times before and thought it was pretty good."

"This...?" Shiina pinched her cute little nose. To be honest, the smell was quite strong.

"Well, it's actually similar to durian. It smells bad but tastes good. Try a bite and see if it's good." Su Qing picked up a piece with a skewer and swallowed it.

The wet stinky tofu does indeed have a very moist taste.

Seeing Su Qing eat a piece, Shiina followed suit, sticking a piece into her cherry-like mouth with a skewer. As she chewed and swallowed, Shiina's eyes lit up instantly.

"Mmm, it's delicious."

“Right?” Su Qing ate a few more pieces as she spoke.

"But we'll be having dinner soon. Won't you be able to eat this later?" Shiina asked helplessly, as if she had prepared dinner like a mother hen, only to have her rebellious son eat some strange things.

"Um... I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. I was only thinking about bringing you food." Su Qing really didn't realize this. His mealtimes were never regular, and he usually just ate a little bit at a time.

"...Did you bring this especially for me?"

"Well, consider it a thank you. After all, cooking is hard work."

Even though the cost of ingredients had been split, and the electricity bill was still on her end, given the other person's culinary skills, it was perfectly normal for someone to pay her to cook. Su Qing wouldn't take it for granted that she had already paid and therefore it was all the other person's duty to do it; there was no such logic.

“…Thank you.” Shiina lowered her head and picked up another piece to eat.

"Hmm." So I guess I've escaped verbal punishment?

"Um, there's something else I need to give you." Su Qing took out a brown keychain from her pocket, with a cute Eevee hanging on it.

"Take it; it'll make things easier."

"Is this also a thank you?" Shiina took the keychain, stared at it for a while, then looked at Su Qing and asked.

"Well... I guess you could say that. Don't you like it?"

"No, I like it very much. Then I will accept it with gratitude."

"Also, I will keep it safe."

Shiina held the keychain in front of her chest with both hands, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Su Qing with a smile.

Unlike her usual helpless or pure joy, Shiina's smile at this moment was upright and sweet, retaining a touch of naivety while exuding feminine charm. It was both elegant and captivating, and Su Qing couldn't help but be drawn to it.

"Okay, sure." Su Qing didn't look at Shiina again. For some reason, her heart had been beating faster than usual.

After finishing another piece of stinky tofu, Su Qing thought for a moment.

Suddenly, I realized that today's stinky tofu tasted even better than any I'd had before.

Chapter 55 Please play ball with me, Hachiman!

The next day, during physical education class.

"You bastard, are you a pervert?"

Hachiman collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon, panting heavily as if trying to inhale all the surrounding air into his lungs.

His forehead was covered with glistening beads of sweat, which slid down his cheeks and soaked his collar.

The tennis racket he was holding was casually tossed aside, as if it had lost all its value.

"I'll take it as a compliment." Su Qing pulled out a few tissues from her pocket, gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then walked towards Hachiman.

After walking over to Hachiman, he bent down, extended a hand, gently patted Hachiman's shoulder, and asked:

"Get up. It's not good to sit on the ground right after exercising. Do you want to rest for a while?"

Upon hearing Su Qing's words, Hachiman looked up, met Su Qing's gaze, and a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

He managed a weak smile and said, "Thanks. Let me rest for a bit; I don't think I have the energy to play any more today."

After saying that, he reached out and tightly grasped the hand Su Qing offered, using it to stand up.

At the same time, he took a few tissues from Su Qing and vigorously wiped his face and neck, trying to make himself look less disheveled.

"By the way, did you deliberately make me run around like this?" Hachiman asked suspiciously, as if he had thought of something.

"That's right. I've actually loved The Prince of Tennis since I was a child. I remember there was a character in it who used this style of play. How about it, do I look good?"

Su Qing pulled out a glass of water from somewhere and calmly took a sip.

"You learned very well, don't repeat that next time. Also, where did you get this water from?"

Having just finished exercising and sweating profusely, Hikigaya suddenly felt parched.

"I bought it on the way down from PE class. What, you want some too?"

After taking another sip of water, Su Qing shook the bottle with her right hand. Because the bottle was transparent, the clear water inside kept churning.

For a thirsty person, it's like having a beautiful, scantily clad girl dancing in front of you after years of abstinence—it's incredibly arousing.

"No, I don't really feel like drinking that much..."

Hachiman turned his head away, refusing the temptation.

"Seriously, what a twisted personality," Su Qing sighed, as if addressing a problem child, and asked casually.

"Isn't it common sense for college students to bring a cup of water to PE class? Why didn't you bring water?"

Who do you think is to blame? My teammates on the wall wouldn't have made me run around like this before!

Hachiman internally complained, then gave an awkward laugh.

"Ah, actually I forgot..."

"Actually, Hachiman had no one to team up with for tennis before me, so you probably didn't break a sweat at all," the understanding Su Qing told Hachiman the harsh truth.

"Tch, I think fighting against the wall is great, at least it won't make me run around..." Hachiman, seeing that he had been exposed, said, "I'm coming clean, I'm not pretending anymore!"

"Pfft, actually I hit you like that because you don't get enough exercise."

Su Qingyi explained in a righteous and righteous manner.

"Red bean paste?"

"Red beans, red beans!"

Ugh, this guy must be playing me for a fool. How awful.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I bought you a bottle too. Here you go." Su Qing walked a short distance away, picked up a bottle of water from the ground, and threw it towards Hachiman in a perfect parabola.

"Huh? For me?" Hachiman took the water, looking incredulous.

"Hmm, otherwise who do you think this bottle of water belongs to?" Su Qing looked at Hachiman with an expression as if he were an idiot.

"Ah... I thought the wall was thirsty because it was so hot and bought it for itself..."

Hikigaya chuckled awkwardly.

"Hehe, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it's forbidden for beings to become spirits."

"Thanks, how much... I'll pay you." Hachiman said, reaching for his wallet.

"No need, it's just a bottle of water, consider it my treat." Su Qing waved her hand, indicating that the other party didn't need to be polite.

"This...isn't that inappropriate?" Hikigaya instinctively wanted to refuse.

"Consider this compensation for making you run around like this."

"Alright then..." Hachiman got angry just thinking about it, so he decided not to refuse anymore and would invite the guy again next time.

Suddenly, Hachiman felt something poke his right cheek. He instinctively turned his head to the right, but saw no one.

Then, Hachiman felt a poke on his left cheek. This time, he turned around and saw who it was: Totsuka Saika.

"Hehe, you've been tricked, Hachiman~" Totsuka Saika leaned forward slightly, bringing her beautiful features and fair face even closer to Hikigaya.

He (or she?) gently brushed a few stray strands of hair behind his ear with one hand, his bright eyes looking at Hachiman with a smile.

I don't know why, but even though it's the same tracksuit, it looks different on Totsuka Saika. Is this girl really a boy?

If he (or she?) were a girl, I would definitely confess my feelings and get rejected!

"What's wrong, Hachiman? Did I scare you?" Seeing that Hachiman was standing there in a daze without saying a word, Totsuka Saika took a few steps forward, getting closer to Hachiman.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Hachiman could even smell a strange fragrance at that moment.

It's okay if I get rejected!

At that moment, his heart was beating more than 120 times, and Hachiman's mind instantly cleared.

He was so frightened that he took several steps back and only dared to make a sound after creating some distance between himself and the enemy.

"It's Caijia."

"Yes, it's me. By the way, Hachiman, you're really good at tennis." Totsuka Saika looked at Hikigaya with admiration.

"Well... it's alright, but I can't beat that freak Su Qing." Hachiman scratched the back of his head and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Am I a pervert again? Give me back my water." Su Qing reached out as if to take back everything that belonged to her.

Damn it, if this were in mainland China, it would be an act of supreme respect, worthy of being called a godfather. Hachiman is truly ungrateful.

"Sorry, sorry, I was just complimenting you." Hachiman offered a perfunctory explanation, without even glancing at Su Qing.

His gaze was now completely fixed on Totsuka Saika in front of him. Of course, Hikigaya didn't dare to stare directly at Saika; he just avoided eye contact and would steal a few glances from time to time.

"Totsuka, aren't you going to play ball with others?" Su Qing asked.

"Actually, my usual partner is on leave today... so, can I join you guys?"

Hmm? Tennis 3-player game?

That's a bit too lenient, isn't it?

However, it seems that Hachiman said he was no longer able to perform, Su Qing thought to himself, and then looked at Hachiman.

Then I discovered

……

Chapter 56 Please play ball with me, Shiina-sensei!

Then I discovered...

I wipe it,

Why is Hachiman grinning like an idiot? Hey, I feel like he's about to drool!

"Well... if you'd like, let's fight together."

"Great! I can play ball with Hachiman!" Totsuka Saika's tone became noticeably excited after hearing that her request had not been refused. In Su Qing's eyes, Totsuka's eyes were practically shining.

By the way, does your "we" include me?

Why are you so excited to play ball with Hachiman? Can't you at least consider me?

Great, great, times have changed. Even Hachiman has his own little clique now...

"Ah, I'm also very happy to play with Su Qing." Totsuka Ayaka seemed to realize that her words might have hurt Su Qing, who was standing next to her, and explained.

Oh no, I've become an afterthought.

"Ah, it's okay, you guys play. I just told Hachiman that I'm a bit tired and can't play anymore."

Su Qing explained with a smile.

"I see. Then you should get some rest. Hachiman, are you tired?" After hearing this, Totsuka Saika looked at Hikigaya beside her, clearly impatient.

Are you kidding me? Being stared at by those big, bright eyes, I have no choice but to comply!

"Well... I could play a little longer."

"Let's go, Hachiman!"

"Oh, oh..." Hachiman suddenly realized, wait a minute, doesn't that mean it'll be my and Ayaka's tennis time later? Did Su Qing say that on purpose because she didn't want to disturb us?

That's right, otherwise, based on the other person's physical test results, even I wasn't that tired, so how could the other person be tired?
