Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 325

You are the child's father, and they are all good friends of the child. You can't act like a child.

Yuihama Makoto finally opened his eyes. He nodded emphatically to Su Qing, then got up to make way for him without saying a word.

When Su Qing arrived at the bedside, the girl with the bun hairstyle was lying quietly, her face, which should have been rosy, was now as pale as paper.

Life seems to be so fragile.

"Yui."

Su Qing cleared her throat before speaking.

"I know you like me. I'm sorry, maybe I should have given you a direct answer from the beginning, instead of assuming that your feelings for me were just unrequited longing."

Someone like me... isn't worth your affection.

“Qing…” Mahiru looked at Su Qing’s profile and called out softly.

Su Qing continued speaking, the boy's voice infinitely gentle.

You have many friends, and many people who care about you and love you.

You shouldn't just end your life so casually.

Life is the most precious thing a person can have; to be alive is a miracle in itself.

Once you're dead, you'll have nothing left.

……

Enough with the annoying lecturing.

I have to admit, I like you.

But liking this feeling doesn't mean anything.

So... don't be so foolish anymore. You need to learn to live for yourself.

Before anyone knew it, Su Qing had placed his hand on Jieyi's chest.

Even through his clothes, he could still feel the obvious surgical sutures below.

Scars are really ugly, but I'll remove them for you this time. After that... there won't be a next time.

A few light snowflakes drifted in through the window, dusk enveloped the earth, and neon lights blurred the entire hospital building.

thump——

As the machine started beeping, the electrocardiogram, a marker of the girl's life, began to rise rapidly.

The girl's eyelashes began to tremble gently, like butterflies blooming in spring.

……

……

PS:

As for the system and other miscellaneous stuff, read it if you can understand it, and ignore it if you can't.

This will only happen once; anything after that is pointless.

So why write it?

good question……

Aba aba (feigning madness)

Chapter 368 Cowardice

?

"Um...where am I?"

Yui opened her eyes with a slight tremor in her eyelashes, the smell of disinfectant piercing her nostrils. Tiny spots of light floated in her blurry vision, like crushed stars falling onto her retina.

Her gaze fell on the ceiling above, a strange white expanse, completely different from the Meiji Shrine she remembered.

Fragments of memories suddenly flashed through her mind. She remembered playing with Xiaoqing and the others at Meiji Shrine. How could she suddenly appear in this unfamiliar place?

Moreover, during the time she was unconscious, a voice seemed to linger in her mind. The voice sounded so familiar... like... Xiao Qing?!

By the way, where's Xiaoqing? Is Xiaoqing alright?

Yui's heart suddenly raced. Without thinking, her body instinctively sprang out of bed. Her eyes searched frantically, finally spotting Su Qing's figure by the bedside.

The girl smiled with relief. When she saw someone rushing towards her with a knife, she couldn't think of a good solution in a moment of panic, so she simply pushed Su Qing away.

Thankfully Su Qing is alright, otherwise I would have suffered the knife for nothing.

But why... don't I feel any pain?

Before Yui could even think about why, she suddenly realized that her parents were also there.

"Eh? Dad... Mom..."

Her doubts vanished in her mother's embrace and tears.

"Thank goodness... thank goodness you're alright... Waaah, you scared Mommy to death!!"

Qiannai held her daughter, sobbing uncontrollably. Large tears fell like a broken string of pearls, and the warm, wet sensation completely woke Yui from her daze.

So... it wasn't a dream after all?

Her parents, Mahiru, and Kiyoshi were all there; she thought she was in heaven...

When Makoto Yuigahama stood up, his legs went weak for a moment. Unlike China, he wasn't sentimental and just smiled at his daughter.

Subtly, his face was tilted up at a slightly higher angle than usual, as if he were suppressing some emotion.

Even he didn't know what to say at this moment. Perhaps the immense sorrow and joy had overwhelmed his language system, and he needed a moment to recover.

"How are you feeling now? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Su Qing's voice sounded weak, but it was still very gentle.

"Yes, yes. Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Tell Mom quickly!"

Qiannai gripped Yui's arms tightly, as if afraid that if she loosened her grip even slightly, her daughter would fall.

"Huh? Are you feeling unwell...? I don't think so? If I had to say, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable..."

Yui was shaken a couple of times by her mother, and her head felt a little dizzy. She was already a little dazed when she first woke up, and now she was even more dazed.

Why does my stomach feel uncomfortable?

The girl's words made all four people present tense at the same time.

"No, no, it's just that I'm a little... hungry... the kind of hungry that I could eat several bowls of rice."

Yui glanced at everyone, realized her words were inappropriate, lowered her eyes, and said with great embarrassment.

The four of them laughed at Yui's increasingly rosy cheeks, their smiles tinged with relief.

“If that’s the case,” Mahiru pointed to the lunchbox she had packed a while ago, “it should still be warm, and I chose some light dishes, so have a bite to eat first.”

"Uncle, let's call the doctor later and have a full check-up to observe him."

"Hmm." Cheng glanced at Su Qing, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

What just happened?

Su Qing stared at Yui quietly for a while, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, she got up and said to Yui, "You should get some rest."

The police will likely come to your door in the next couple of days to take your statement. Just tell them what you know.

"I... and Mahiru left first."

"Are you leaving?" No matter how naive Qiannai was, she could tell that her daughter's sudden awakening was related to the boy in front of her. She subconsciously wanted to stop her, but she had no reason to.

"Yes, she hasn't eaten yet. I'll take her to eat. Uncle and Aunt, you should eat too."

After Su Qing finished speaking, she paused and looked down at Yui.

He should say something more, but nothing seemed appropriate, so he had nothing to say.

"Thank you," Su Qing said softly.

"N-nothing's wrong, I'm fine..."

Yui felt a little embarrassed by Su Qing's gaze.

Can't tell.

She felt that the other person's gaze was very different from usual, giving her the feeling of biting off the cream under the outer layer of a cream puff.

No, that's not how it is. You almost...died.

Su Qing was silent for a moment, and also felt suffocated for a moment.

"You get some rest. Mahiru and I... will come see you again tomorrow."

"Take good care of yourself, and be sure to tell me if you feel unwell." Mahiru also stood up and sat next to Su Qing.

"Oh, okay."

Yui looked at the two of them and said inexplicably, "Then... come early."

……

After leaving the hospital, Su Qing and Zhen Zhou decided to eat out since it was too late to go back and cook, and the last subway train was still a while away.

"Ramen, is that alright?" Su Qing asked.

"Hmm, this is the place." Mahiru's reply seemed somewhat absent-minded.

The restaurant serves food very quickly; the two of them ordered and the owner brought out two steaming bowls of ramen shortly after.

"You two, your ramen is ready."

"Thank you."

After Su Qing took a couple of bites, she noticed that Mahiru hadn't touched her chopsticks, so she asked, "Don't you have an appetite?"

"No." Mahiru shook her head slightly, pursed her lips, and for no reason grabbed Su Qing's collar, like an insecure little girl.

"Fear……"

"afraid of what?"

"I thought I was going to lose you..."

Mahiru's pure eyes rippled with tears, and her voice was low and captivating.

"If it weren't for Yui... I really don't know what I would have done. I shouldn't have left at that time..."

"Don't talk nonsense, okay?"

Su Qing's voice was unusually stern towards Mahiru; this tone was usually reserved for Yui.

"What if I don't leave? What if I do leave? Are you going to protect me?"

"Can't I?" Mahiru bit her lower lip and said stubbornly.

"There's no reason in the world for a girl to protect a boy," Su Qing said matter-of-factly.

His face remained calm and expressionless.

If he were to deceive people, he would be a master at it, wouldn't he?

Mahiru thought absurdly, but she only felt that the boy seemed to be crying at that moment.

"I'm fine, so you don't need to worry. And don't be afraid." Su Qing solemnly took Mahiru's hand. The girl's hand was delicate and smooth, easily arousing one's protective instincts.

"Eat quickly, then go home. You promised Yui you'd visit her early tomorrow."

"Hmm..." Mahiru murmured softly, but she still looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Su Qing told her personally by the bedside that he liked Yui, and she naturally heard it, but there were some things the girl already knew.

Or rather, it would be suspicious if one didn't feel any affection for a lively and energetic young woman who was by one's side every day.

With so many things happening today, this kind of thing seems trivial.

"I'm still scared."

Just as the ramen broth was about to run dry, Mahiru suddenly spoke.

"We made a pact before that whoever is the coward has to sleep with the other and stay by their side, right?"
