Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

Chapter 336 Private Space

Mahiru is wearing headphones. I don’t know what brand they are, but I think the noise reduction function is good.

In the quiet room, the only sound was the slight friction sound of the pen and tablet.

It was obvious that she was completely immersed in painting at the moment, forgetting the passage of time and ignoring the interference of the outside world, as if she was the only one in the world and the thing on hand.

This is - "flow".

But suddenly, a strong wind blew in the world.

It was sudden and brief, like an illusion.

Mahiru put down her pen. She hadn't finished drawing yet, but she turned around as if she had thought of some possibility, and just happened to see Su Qing who was standing by the door.

And a pair of black eyes, flowing with the emotion of peace of mind like a rushing river.

But under the riverbed, which others cannot see, there are still reefs of worry and fear, quietly allowing the water to wash away them.

"I'm sorry, but there was no response when I rang the doorbell and called your name in the living room, so I just barged into your room without permission."

Su Qing was still standing there, with no intention of coming in.

"I, I should be the one saying sorry. I didn't hear you calling me and made you worry."

Mahiru said with some self-blame. The next moment she noticed that Su Qing hadn't come in yet. She tilted her head slightly and asked curiously:

"Um...why don't you come in? Is there something strange in my room?"

"If it's convenient, I'll come in."

Su Qing said as he walked.

"Eh? You're a little weird. You came into my room when we first met, but now that we're together, you don't dare to come in?"

Mahiru asked with a smile in her eyes as if she had discovered something interesting.

“That time I had no choice but to do it, it doesn’t count.

When you close the door, it means you don't want to be disturbed while you are doing something.

This has nothing to do with whether we are together or not.

Besides, the room is your private space, so no one should come in without your permission, right?"

Su Qing said slowly, and from Mahiru's perspective, those eyes were so bright that they seemed to be sparkling.

People need to have a sense of boundaries, but at this moment, as Su Qing said, it would be more appropriate to describe it as "private space."

Demanding that a spouse be "unconditional" is essentially nothing more than self-satisfaction and exploitation based on a weak sense of security on the part of one party.

What's more, that is something that cannot be done.

Therefore, out of respect for Mahiru, Su Qing stopped in front of the door, and only after getting the other party's consent did he agree to enter.

"But you...are not someone else."

Mahiru sat on the chair with his head down, glanced up quickly at Su Qing, then quickly lowered his head back, and spoke in a low and serious voice.

"Even if it wasn't someone else, it's not okay. No one would be happy if you disturbed someone who was concentrating on doing something without permission, so I have to apologize to you."

Su Qing lowered his eyes, feeling palpitations for the first time.

But even so, he shouldn't lose his composure.

My situation just now... was so strange.

But this actually can’t be blamed on Su Qing.

In the past, he had nothing and could think of nothing.

Now it seems like I have everything.

The more you have, the more you think.

"Are you preaching to me?"

Mahiru seemed very unhappy with such words, and when she raised her eyes, her face was full of awkward emotions.

"Of course I know this... but you can't apologize to me anymore, because it was my fault for not replying to you, you didn't do anything wrong.

If you apologize again, I will feel really bad about it."

Mahiru said this again in a very self-willed manner.

The girl frowned slightly, and her bright eyes looked straight at Su Qing without any intention of joking.

Su Qing didn't say anything, but just walked forward and smoothed the long hair behind her.

He didn't look at the things on Mahiru's desk, and wasn't quite sure why the other person's hair was messy and he didn't have time to tidy it up himself.

"Angry?"

Mahiru turned her head and stared at Su Qing and asked.

"Hmm? Why do you say that?"

Su Qing was slightly surprised and asked back.

He didn't do anything special, did he?

"If you're not angry, why... don't you touch me?"

Mahiru's voice had the softness that is unique to girls from the southern part of the mainland, but when she said the last three words, it was as if she had used up all her strength, and she spoke them a little hurriedly and tiredly.

"here?"

Su Qing touched the round head almost out of habit.

Even though he had touched Kamakula more than an hour ago, he had washed his hands, otherwise he would not have touched her hair.

Maybe to him, that was one of the most beautiful things in the world.

"You clearly know that, don't you?"

Mahiru closed her eyes and enjoyed it, humming an unknown tune.

Relaxed and enjoyable.

You've been learning painting for so long, what's wrong with relaxing a little and rewarding yourself?

"How can I know if you don't tell me?"

Su Qing smiled and asked back.

It can be seen that he is still trying to induce Mahiru to say "I want..." and does not want the other party to keep some things in his heart and digest them by himself.

It can be guessed that this girl who has lived alone for nearly ten years has always done this.

However, this is actually a kind of tolerance that is somewhat willful and arrogant.

But it is also a pampering for girls.

"If I tell you, will you be satisfied and realize everything?"

Upon hearing this, Mahiru immediately thought of something, opened her eyes, and stared at Su Qing with blinking eyes.

"I'm not God or Santa Claus. No one would believe me even if I said everything would come true."

Su Qing agreed directly without exaggeration. There should be a limit to bragging.

Unless the Lung Mist System can be upgraded on the spot.

But that's still pretty scary, so forget it.

He is still used to relying on himself.

"Hey, I won't make any outrageous requests. I think you should be able to do it. Even so, can't you agree to it?"

Mahiru's delicate and soft voice lingered in Su Qing's ears.

He looked down.

The girl's lips are really tender and her eyes are bright, like the bright moon in the water.

"No, even if I can do it, it depends on whether I can do it or not."

Su Qing refused without thinking, very straightforwardly and decisively.

“Eh~~~?”

Mahiru was probably not satisfied with this answer, as she tilted her head back and her cheeks puffed up like balloons.

"In that case, it seems useless to say it out loud, eh?"

"It's useful. I find it quite interesting to listen to you talk."

"Does that mean you're making fun of me?"

"No, it means that you have a nice voice and I like listening to you speak."

Su Qing didn't rub Mahiru's hair for too long, as it would easily become tangled, although the other party was reluctant to see him leave without permission.

Maybe this is Mahiru's "struff"?

"Even if you praise me like this, I won't give up making some requests that might be excessive."

Mahiru felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. As far as she could remember, this was the first time Su Qing said that she had a nice voice.

Does it sound so good?

Because of her shyness, Mahiru herself is a little unconfident.

"What do you mean by a request that might be excessive?"

According to experience, the other party's excessive remarks are actually quite cute, so Su Qing doesn't care.

"…You will know later."

For some reason, Mahiru's fair face suddenly turned half red.

Maybe you thought of some strange things?

"Okay, so what do you want me to do now?"

Su Qing thought that the future is the future, so let’s talk about it later?
