Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

"What a cute little kitty!"

As she stepped into a shopping mall, Mahiru's eyes were immediately drawn to a cat in a pet display box.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, full of surprise and excitement. She involuntarily moved closer, staring into the box without blinking.

Su Qing looked over in the direction of the sound and saw a very cute kitten curled up lazily.

It has short and small limbs, which seem soft and sticky, and its body is covered with a layer of fluffy and dense brown hair.

The furry head seamlessly connects to the round body, and the neck is completely covered by thick fur.

There is only a pair of bright big eyes, looking at the outside world innocently and adorably.

"This is a British long-haired cat. It has a gentle temperament, is very smart, and most importantly, loves to act like a spoiled brat. Therefore, it is very popular with children and is one of the most popular cats on the market."

Although Su Qing is attracted to small animals, he is not very interested in cats and dogs.

In comparison, his Mahiru is the cutest.

But Mahiru is not a cat, so they cannot be compared.

After the introduction, Su Qing paused, smiled and continued:

"Don't you like cats very much? Let's raise one together in the future?"

What he meant by the future is that the two of them have a common "home" and live together in the true sense of the word.

If you think about it this way, having a pet isn't a bad thing.

However, it was obvious that Mahiru didn't understand what Su Qing meant, and to her great surprise, she shook her head like a rattle, expressing her resistance without hesitation:

"No, no, I won't raise it!"

A cute little cat who loves to act coquettishly, it turns out that it won't work once you hear it, right?

"why?"

Su Qing looked at Mahiru's performance in astonishment and asked in confusion.

Didn’t you like it just now?

"I-We can't keep animals in the apartment we live in. Did you forget?"

As Mahiru spoke, he hastily looked away, not daring to meet Su Qing's gaze.

Her hands became restless and she rubbed her fingers together subconsciously, revealing her inner panic.

Looking at her like this, it's obvious that she has other thoughts.

Then it is known that:

The girlfriend is lying.

But it was indeed as Mahiru said, they were not allowed to keep small animals in their apartment, and Su Qing naturally knew this.

So where exactly did she lie?

The girl's eyes were still wandering, and she would look at the long-haired cat in the box from time to time.

But compared to the original love, there is now a bit of inexplicable...vigilance?

Su Qing was very familiar with this color. He had a deep impression of how Mahiru's eyes looked like this when he was "accosted" by the voice-controlled girl Shimizu at the entrance of Class C.

so...

Are you jealous?

Just because of a...cat?

"Is it because I said it likes to act like a spoiled child or something that your attitude has changed so much?"

Su Qing immediately understood Mahiru's thoughts and asked tentatively.

"That's not true!"

When Mahiru heard that her little trick had been exposed by Su Qing, she raised her head suddenly like a frightened deer.

His panicked eyes instantly locked onto Su Qing, his eyes full of shame and anger, his hands unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes, but he was still trying to be strong and defend himself:

"Who...who would be jealous over a long-haired cat?"

Isn't it stupid to think that a pet might like to stick around its male owner and act like a spoiled child and get jealous?

A misty feeling of shame instantly filled Mahiru's caramel-colored eyes.

This childish and straightforward jealousy made her feel embarrassed and annoyed.

Hmm——she doesn’t want to be jealous!

But who makes Su Qing so popular with kittens?

When Mahiru thought of the spoiled cat sticking to Su Qing, rubbing his palms and trying to please him, he felt like his heart was filled with cotton. He felt uncomfortable but couldn't say it out loud.

[You look like a fluffy flaxen cat right now...]

Su Qing smiled helplessly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

But, I feel inexplicably happy.

"Are you kidding me?"

Mahiru mistakenly thought that Su Qing was mocking her for being childish or something, so she slapped him a few times in anger.

"I just suddenly thought of something happy."

Su Qing explained casually, then pulled Mahiru out of the pet area and to a place with fewer people.

"I don't believe it."

Mahiru snorted twice. Although she said so, she obediently let Su Qing hold her hand and followed him closely.

After walking for a while, Su Qing stopped until there were no people around, and Mahiru also stopped.

"Is my girlfriend jealous again?"

Su Qing asked seriously.

It’s not that he had to make the girl’s shyness clear, but he wanted her to realize something.

At first, Mahiru wanted to play dumb and keep silent to deny the incident, but when she noticed Su Qing's gaze, she quickly realized that she would not be able to get away with it this way.

There's no one around anyway.

With this thought in mind, she decided to throw herself into Su Qing's chest.

At this moment, I really am absorbing each other's scent like a cat.

When the girl raised her flushed face, her caramel-colored eyes were misty.

"...You may think I'm childish and stupid for being jealous of a...cat or something, but it really happened.

I know this is wrong, but I can't help thinking that way...

You are so popular with small animals, and long-haired cats are so clingy, if...if you ignore me because of this..."

Mahiru slowly revealed her true feelings bit by bit.

People always feel happier when they are close to happiness, but become anxious and worried when they are happy.

This is especially true for Mahiru, who has never received true love since childhood.

She is really just an ordinary little girl who doesn't even have the most basic sense of security.

【７０】 means daytime.

Daytime means light and hope.

But Mahiru feels that this name does not suit her. She is really not as "bright" as outsiders think.

On the contrary, she always felt that she was living in the mud.

It’s more like “struggling” than “living”.

It was not until I met Su Qing that everything I have now happened.

That's why Mahiru, at a certain moment, decided that Su Qing was her [Bai Day].

"Do you think I'd ignore you over a cat?"

"Of course not."

Mahiru quickly denied it.

Su Qing is not such a person!

“Although this analogy is not appropriate, I still want to say that if you were a cat, you would be the cutest in the world, bar none.

So no matter what other cats or anything else, it will not diminish your position in my heart at all."

Su Qing said slowly.

"Um...."

Mahiru lay on Su Qing's heart and could feel it beating very fast.

"If you were a book, you would be the only book I would read in my life."

Su Qing said again.

"But a book will always be finished. What should I do after I finish it?"

Mahiru asked.

“You can always finish a book, but you can never finish two books together.

Because countless new memories always fill up the blank pages one after another.

If you don’t have enough blank pages, use all of mine.”

Mahiru raised her eyes, and there was a wetness in them that even she couldn't explain.

"So... you want to continue writing this new [book] with me?"

Happiness swirled in Mahiru's eyes like tears.

The girl suddenly realized that he was indispensable to her world.

Mahiru suddenly stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to kiss those lips for the first time.

The moment her heels touched the ground, the girl smiled, and said with the mountain flowers blooming:

"Yeah...a deal...ok."

PS:

In fact, real stories are often "small things" like the ones in this chapter, so we often feel they are "ordinary".

But perhaps, we cannot see through other people's hearts like a God's perspective.

Also, don't ask some things. The only thing you need to ask is that Su Qing found a small corner in the mall where no one was (funny)
