Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

"Boyfriend or something, not really..."

Shiina Mahiru's face turned slightly red. Su Qing, who was standing next to her, was unable to notice it due to her perspective, but Sato, who was facing her, witnessed the entire process of the change of expression.

So we're not a couple yet? Does that mean I have a chance?!

However, I said "still", and judging from the atmosphere, it will probably be soon. Forget it, I dare to do it...

That's not right... They're not even a couple, but they're already living together and buying groceries together? They're having a lot of fun...

However, considering the couple’s amazing looks, I, a fan of fantasies, don’t care about these things!

That's true. Angel and her food tasters only have to think about how to distribute the sugar, but our Sato clerk has a lot more to consider.

Although he had already written a sweet urban romance novel of several hundred thousand words in his heart, Sato the cashier still kept his original intention, doing his job well, and calmly changed his words:

"Okay, then who will come first, this lady or this gentleman?"

I don’t know why, but even though the clerk in front of me still had that business smile on his face, anyone who came could sense that there was a hint of silly smile in it.

It's like a fan finally seeing the Kaguya-sama he's been supporting for three seasons finally be with a certain Shirogane.

"For this lottery, there's no need to make subsequent payments or anything, right?"

Su Qing hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly.

"The guest is joking. Today is our hotel's anniversary, and the grand prize is a seven-day, six-night luxury hot spring trip for the whole family, including hotel accommodation and round-trip fare.

The second prize is a 10 yuan voucher for the entire venue, and the third prize is a figurine of a certain anime character. Even if you don’t win, there are consolation prizes.”

Su Qing felt relieved after hearing this. After all, this supermarket had dared to open near a high-end apartment for many years, so it should still abide by the most basic credibility and there shouldn't be any tricks.

"Shiina, you go first."

"it is good."

Shiina Mahiru's attention at this moment was focused on the second prize just mentioned, a 10 yen voucher... If she wins, she can buy better ingredients.

As the lottery machine slowly turned, a small white ball fell out - "Congratulations to this beautiful guest for winning a consolation prize of a small bucket of cooking oil."

Came the salesperson's mechanical blessing.

What? Is a consolation prize not a prize? If it is a prize, then it is reasonable to give a blessing.

Clerk Sato nodded. The lottery had been going on for a few days and many people had come to participate. The luckiest person had won a 10 yen voucher.

As for the grand prize, even Sato, the store clerk, doubted whether there was one.

"Cooking oil? Well, that's not bad."

Shiina didn't care too much about it. Although she really wanted the second prize, she couldn't force it. Besides, oil was not cheap, so it would be great if she could save some.

Hearing the regretful tone in Shiina Mahiru's voice, Su Qing leaned close to her ear and asked:

"Is there anything Shiina wants?"

Because Su Qing was 1.8 meters tall, he bent slightly while talking to Shiina Mahiru.

The ears are a sensitive area for many people. Usually, talking or blowing air next to someone's ear can make people feel itchy and embarrassed.

At this moment, Shiina Mahiru could clearly feel Su Qing's warm breath, like the gentle caress of fingertips, and her heart couldn't stop beating.

Shiina Mahiru could only bite her lower lip tightly, trying to hide her panic at the moment. Her eyes unconsciously looked to the other side. She lowered her head slightly, and her hair covered her cheeks, which were already covered with two red clouds. However, this hazy look made her look even more charming.

Su Qingjun always unconsciously does things that make people's heart beat faster. He is so cunning.

……

Ahhhh, can you consider me, a single dog? I have been single for more than 20 years and have never even touched a boy's hand. When will I be able to meet such a handsome boy???

This is the bad thing about being a waitress. No matter what the situation is, she is required to keep smiling. For example, when she is standing in front of a handsome man and a beautiful woman who are not a couple and is forced to be fed with dog food, she cannot scream and can only continue to be an automaton and wait patiently with a smile.

No, if this goes on, I have to quit my job and find my own love!

"If possible, I'd like to win the second prize, so that I can cook some more high-end dishes for Su Qingjun."

Shiina Mahiru turned her head away, and Su Qing couldn't see her expression at the moment, but a soft and tender voice came, as if someone was using a smooth little hand to gently stroke Su Qing's chest, which made people feel distracted.

Come to think of it, I didn't tell Shiina that I didn't lack living expenses. Maybe she used her own standards?

But... unlock more cooking options for yourself? Su Qing was silent for a while, and his heart felt warm. It was the first time he had such a feeling.

It's hard to explain, but Su Qing only knew that at this moment he hoped very much that he could take out this reward for the girl in front of him, even though 10 yen was nothing to him now.

[Task release: draw it! ]

[Task Introduction: The gentle angel is thinking of giving you a treat at this time, what are you waiting for? Beat it hard! ]

[Temporary Talent Blessing: Lucky Person]

[Talent introduction: Ten consecutive draws will definitely produce gold! This is the favor from the god in charge of ○ in ancient China (referred to as ○ God)]

Feeling the information coming from his mind, Su Qing was delighted. Tongzi, you came at the right time!

In addition to being happy, he couldn't help but touch Shiina Mahiru's head again and spoke confidently:

"If that's what Shiina wants, then I can definitely pull it out."

Feeling the temperature above his head, Shiina couldn't help but look back after hearing Su Qing's confident words, and said hesitantly:

"I don't really want it, Su Qingjun, don't force it."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this kind of lottery is mostly for the sake of luck. It takes a lot of luck to win the third prize, not to mention the second prize which is definitely even less in number. Shiina Mahiru didn't want Su Qing to be unhappy if he didn't win a prize, even though she was somewhat happy when she heard Su Qing say that.

Many times, when doing something, it is not about success or failure, but more about the sincere emotion.

"What, don't you believe me?"

Su Qing knew that this was Shiina Mahiru's way of giving him a heads-up and giving him a way out.

After all, reality is not a stand-alone game with a modifier. You can't do whatever you want. Fortunately, this system is still of some use now.

"No, how could that be..."

"So if I really win the second prize, what reward will Shiina give me?"

Su Qing stood beside Shiina Mahiru. The sunlight at nearly five o'clock was far less irritating than that at noon. Instead, it was a little softer like the moonlight. It shone quietly on Su Qing's shoulders and face through the glass door of the supermarket.

The handsome boy in front of her had a somewhat youthful and austere look on his face, yet he was also gentler than an ordinary person. His voice was deep and magnetic, and every word and every syllable seemed to strike directly on Shiina Mahiru's heart, causing waves of throbbing to surge up endlessly.

At this moment, Shiina Mahiru felt that she would believe whatever the boy said, because the person in front of her seemed so trustworthy.

"A reward? Well, if Su Qingjun really draws it, he can get a Shiina-exclusive wish-fulfillment ticket, and you can ask me to do something for you unconditionally. How about it?"

"Then let's put it this way. No regrets."

"of course."

Seeing this Sato who looked like a teenage idol in a school drama, I had only one thought in my mind:

So sweet, so sweet, someone come and kill me to cheer them up!!!

As the lottery machine started again, the turntable slowly turned again, but this time the speed seemed to be slower than before. For a moment, the three people's hearts seemed to be grabbed.

Clank, clank, and a silver round ball slowly rolled down.

"Congratulations to this customer for winning our store's second prize - a 100,000 yen voucher worth any amount!"

"Congratulations, Su Qingjun, for winning the Shiina-exclusive wish-fulfillment voucher."

Shiina Mahiru turned around, gently picked up the hair beside her cheek, and hung it behind her small and white ear, then smiled sweetly, a little charming, a little energetic, full of the rosy youth of a girl.

In fact, this is the real reward, right?

……

Ahhhh, as expected, someone should come and kill me to liven up the fun!

I’ve decided. I’m quitting my job today. I’m going to find my own love!
