Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 370

"Even ordinary couples experience all sorts of friction, I think it might be more difficult for us."

“Mahiru.” Su Qing looked at Mahiru and said seriously.

“In mainland China, if a wife and husband have a dispute, she can simply choose to go back to her parents’ home. No matter what happens in the end, at least that option will always exist in her mind.”

"But you can't."

"Besides, you've lived alone for so long, you should know better than me how important it is to have a place of your own in a city."

"Hmm..." Mahiru nodded slightly, neither confirming nor simply responding.

“The future is long. If you feel wronged while you are with me, or think that I am bullying you or treating you badly, I don’t want you to have nowhere to go or to be dependent on others.”

"When the time comes, take this key to the address on the contract."

"Like I said, there's only one key, but of course you can change the lock."

Su Qing suddenly smiled.

"I'll just need to do some cleaning when I move in."

After saying that, Su Qing looked at another girl, Yui, who was sitting there obediently, gazing at him quietly.

"Well, Yui, you don't seem to have as many concerns as Mahiru."

"So I didn't give you the property deed, but I always remembered you telling me that you wanted to open a dessert shop."

"As I just said, many things in the future are uncertain and therefore cannot be guaranteed."

"If you're with me, you'll also feel wronged, feel like you're being bullied..."

Su Qing seemed to have thought of something, and smiled again.

“I’ve observed it. The location of this store is excellent, with a high foot traffic. Logically, you shouldn’t lose money doing anything here, and it should be enough to make a living in this city.”

"Of course, even if you lose money, you can choose to rent out the shop and become a happy landlord and a rich woman."

Finally, Su Qing spoke earnestly to them.

“Take it. I’m not doing this so that you’ll feel indebted to me.”

"These are decisions I made without your knowledge and on my own initiative."

As Mahiru and Yui listened, their eyes softened along with Su Qing's voice.

The two women exchanged a glance, as if confirming some kind of secret signal, and then turned their heads away.

Mahiru spoke first: "You should know that we are angry, so you need to answer our questions truthfully now, okay?"

Su Qing was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Mm."

"The apartment and this shop must be very expensive, right? Where did you get so much money? Even if you get paid for drawing comics, as far as I know, it shouldn't be this much."

Mahiru asked doubtfully.

"There's no need to worry about that. The money came from selling the comic book copyright legitimately."

Seeing that they still looked confused, Su Qing explained further.

"It means selling the rights to subsequent merchandise, game development, and film and television adaptations. If those companies do these things later, they won't need to give me any dividends. It's like I'm cashing out in advance. That's roughly the idea."

"I see."

Mahiru nodded. Although the Shiina family was also very wealthy, she had been raised by Aunt Yuki since she was a child.

She really doesn't know much about this kind of thing.

"My second question is, after buying all this, how much money do you have left? You don't need to give a specific number, just tell me if it's enough to last until graduation."

Mahiru asked again, her gaze fixed on Su Qing, clearly this was what she cared about more.

"Tens of millions, that should be enough by graduation?"

Su Qing thought for a while before answering.

He didn't even look at how much was left; he just counted a few zeros and then stopped looking.

Even with super memory, there's nothing you can do if you don't remember it.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Su Qing asked, taking the initiative to speak when she saw that Mahiru was no longer asking questions.

"Idiot!" Yui suddenly shouted.

She used one hand to control Su Qing's wrist, and with the other hand, she punched Su Qing's palm several times.

Then he raised his head again and said fiercely, "The old saying was right after all: men with money turn bad!"

"Look at you, as soon as you have money, you do these things behind our backs. After you graduate and start earning even more money, who knows what even worse things you might do!"

"So, in order to prevent that kind of thing from happening, Mahiru and I decided to accept these things to prevent you from secretly keeping young girls behind our backs!"

?

Su Qing frowned, realizing that this matter was not simple.

What is the logical relationship between these two sentences?

Oh well, whatever the reason, it's good that they're willing to accept it.

As for whether he'll need it or not... he hopes he won't need it at all.

"Hehehe, this is great, Mahiru-chan! From now on, we can be landladies in Tokyo and go play with male models."

? !

"Give it to me," Su Qing suddenly said.

"What is it?" Yui looked around, pretending to be clueless.

"I'll leave Mahiru for now, but I suddenly don't want to give you yours anymore." Su Qing said expressionlessly, her voice even a little cold.

"Wow! This is terrifying! The only thing missing from the contract is my name. Once I sign it, it will be legally binding. You can't just refuse to give it to me like that!"

Yui clutched the contract tightly in her arms as if she were afraid, but Su Qing stood up directly, came behind the girl, reached out his hand, and spoke in a still cold tone.

"Give me."

The next moment, he actually had a contract in his hand, and in an instant, Yui suddenly stood on the chair and hugged Su Qing as if she wasn't afraid of falling.

The girl's eyebrows curved into crescents, and her smile curved as well. She first took advantage of his stunned moment, then hugged his cheek and kissed him. Quickly, blushing, she whispered in his ear:

"I was lying to you, I wouldn't do that."

"Since you were the one who did these things behind our backs, we're even now."

"Besides, I already kissed you, so boyfriend, please don't be so angry. Okay?"

The girl's voice was crisp and pleasant to hear, and Su Qing couldn't resist it at all, so she touched half of her cheek and nodded subconsciously.

Then, Mahiru also came to Su Qing's side without her noticing. She tried her best to stand on tiptoe, but she was always a little short of getting close to Su Qing's face.

After Su Qing came to his senses, he gently picked her up. The girl blinked shyly and gave him a light kiss on the other side.

Then she said in a soft, sweet voice:

"We're sorry, we didn't expect you to react so strongly."

"Don't blame Yui, we just used a code, that's why she did it."

As she spoke, Mahiru gently pressed her forehead against the other's head. Su Qing could clearly see that the girl's eyes were moist, as if covered with a layer of water film.

"We were also very upset just now, because we felt that you didn't quite trust us..."

"Although I was happy after hearing your explanation and felt that you care about us, I was still a little unhappy."

"Just this once."

Taking advantage of Su Qing's embrace, Mahiru was unusually taller than him, so she reached out and began to touch the boy's hair.

Usually, it's Su Qing who touches her; this is a rare occurrence, which gives Mahiru a strange sense of pride.

She smiled sweetly, her lips curving upwards, her hands moving continuously.

"Money doesn't grow on trees. You must have been exhausted from drawing so many comics every day."

"And didn't you say that the road ahead for the three of us wouldn't be so easy? So for our sake, don't waste so much money like you did today in the future."

"As for the apartment and this shop..."

Mahiru and Yui exchanged a glance, and the latter nodded, as if tacitly agreeing to something, before Mahiru continued.

"Yui and I will probably rent out the apartment and shop first, and give you the profits."

"Although it's insignificant compared to the price you paid, we hope you'll accept it."

"As for that shop, I think Yui and I can try to run it there after we graduate."

As Mahiru spoke, her smile became even more adorable, her eyes sparkling like a hidden galaxy.

"By then, Yui and I will be your employees working for you, and you will be the big boss behind the scenes, waiting to collect your money."

"That's right, Xiaoqing, you'd better treat us well, otherwise we'll run the business maliciously and bankrupt you!"

Yui rushed over at that moment. Anyway, Su Qing would catch her, so she didn't have much to worry about.

The girl's smile was sly, in every sense of the word.

"Can I run this business with you?"

Su Qing stroked the girls' cheeks, captivated by the beauty in their eyes, and asked softly.

“Sure, let’s run this business together. You’ll be the largest shareholder, the store manager, and we’ll be the assistant store managers.”

"Fool, one minute you're talking about employees, the next you're talking about investing. How can I trust you with the store?"

Su Qing looked at Yui with affection, but the other girl was not ashamed and instead said proudly.

"Oh, anyway, Mahiru is here, it's fine! I can just bring Yuki over again."

"Fool." Su Qing didn't know what to say, so she just smiled and said that.

"Why do you always like to scold Yui?" Mahiru muttered from the side.

"I forgot to mention you, you're a fool too." Su Qing turned around, her eyes softening.

"You, you're the idiot, the biggest idiot in the world!"

Mahiru seemed to feel belittled, so she pouted in dissatisfaction. Seeing Su Qing's lips curving upwards, she immediately bit down on the empty space on his neck.

There is a flaw!

"Mahiru-chan, what are you doing? Don't sneak away! I want to plant strawberries too!"

Mahiru remained silent, focusing solely on planting hickeys while adjusting her posture to give Yui some space.

Hmm, this looks like an invitation for me to become a farmer too?

Yui didn't understand, but was very excited.

"You guys...stop it, it's so itchy..."

Ok.

Life doesn't seem to be... so uneventful.

Well, garlic bird, garlic bird~

……

Winter has passed and spring has arrived; it's cherry blossom season again.

During holidays, there are quite a few people who want to take their girlfriends and children out for a picnic and flower viewing.

On the lush green hillside, Su Qing and her group finally found a suitable spot to picnic.

"That's why I didn't want to come. And why did you invite me to a picnic when there are only three of you?"

Yukino's stamina wasn't very good to begin with, and she was already panting heavily before the picnic had even started.

"Here, have some water first." Su Qing didn't respond to the other person, but handed Yukino a bottle of water first.

"Oh... thank you." Yukino flinched as if she'd been electrocuted the moment her fingertips touched the water bottle.

After a moment of surprise, I realized it was just a bottle of water, nothing to worry about, and then I drank it without worry.

"It's okay, it's more fun with more people," Yui said with a smile, but her eyes darted away from the other person as if she were looking guilty.

"...Tell me the truth, what is the real reason you invited me?"
