Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

Apartment downstairs.

"It's really a very large piece..."

The mist from her breath lingered between the caramel-colored tassels of her cashmere scarf, and Mahiru looked down at the hem of her dress that fell to her mid-thigh.

Although I had felt Su Qing's coat last time, this was the first time I put it on properly like this.

A dark grey duffle coat was loosely draped over Mahiru's slender shoulders.

The lining is an off-white turtleneck sweater, which is made particularly soft by the wide coat.

The lower body was originally a combination of a skirt and thick velvet tights, but it was almost invisible because of the long hem.

"Hey hey hey~"

The overlong sleeves fell to fifteen centimeters from the fingertips like the furisode of a shrine maiden, but Mahiru did not adjust them. Instead, she swung the sleeves up and down like a child.

Suddenly, Mahiru seemed to have thought of something and came to Su Qing in a hop and skip.

"Qingjun Qingjun, I'm going to show you a magic trick!"

"What magic?" Su Qing asked curiously.

"Look, there's nothing inside the cuffs, right?"

Mahiru said seriously, flicking her empty sleeves.

"Are you going to conjure up a pigeon?" Su Qing asked.

"No, no, no, it's much more powerful than a pigeon!"

Mahiru shook her head, and then looked very serious with her beautiful eyes:

"Watch out, don't blink!"

Su Qing nodded.

Then, Mahiru was seen waving her sleeves up and down at a certain rhythm, as if performing a ritual.

After some time passes.

Nothing happened.

"Is it getting better?"

Su Qing asked in surprise.

What is this?

Air?

"It's already better! But you have to reach in and feel it."

Mahiru said seriously.

"That's scary. What if I reach in and find a snake?"

Su Qing joked.

He already had a rough idea of ​​what Mahiru's magic was all about.

"Stop talking nonsense, there won't be any weird stuff like that!"

Mahiru launched a long-sleeved attack in dissatisfaction, successfully causing 0 damage to Su Qing.

Su Qing lowered his head, laughed silently, and then put a hand in.

"You have to use both hands, otherwise the magic won't work!" Mahiru emphasized.

"This is a very demanding magic."

Su Qing complained casually, and his hands quickly went deeper and deeper, until he touched something soft.

The moment they touched, the softness actually wrapped around Su Qing's ten fingers tightly like a snake.

Seeing this, Mahiru laughed as if her plan had succeeded, and her innocent and lovely girlish voice was wrapped in honey and melted on the snow.

"Hey, it's not just one snake, it's ten. Now the snakes are going to eat you~"

"Shouldn't I be the one to eat you? I'm the big snake and you're the small snake. The big snake eats the small snake, and the small snake has nothing to eat."

Su Qing smiled slightly, gently pinched the back of the girl's hand with his fingers, and then held it tighter.

"Oh... that makes sense." Mahiru tilted her head, "Well, I'll let you eat that little snake..."

As she said this, Mahiru suddenly closed her eyes, raised her face, and stood slightly on tiptoe, completely ready to be picked.

However, before Su Qing could lean over and kiss her, the girl lost her balance and stumbled into his arms with a faint fragrance.

"What is the little snake doing? Are you trying to scam me?"

Su Qing burst out laughing, and Mahiru glanced upwards when he heard the laughter, but quickly lowered his eyes and spoke in a very low voice.

"Well - how embarrassing, this doesn't count. Just forget about it..."

My boyfriend’s body temperature carried the fragrance, turning the falling snowflakes into a crimson color on the tip of his ear.

"No." Su Qing said with a smile, "I don't think it's shameful."

"It's not you, of course you don't feel ashamed!"

Mahiru said resentfully.

I wanted to kiss my boyfriend, but my coat caused me to lose balance. It would be so embarrassing if I told others about it!

Would Su Qing think she was a fool?

So annoying, so unhappy.

“It’s really not shameful.”

Su Qing pulled out his hand and held her wrist which was tucked in her sleeve.

The fingertips with thin calluses moved up inch by inch along the silk lining until they found the correct fold line at the elbow joint.

Mahiru just stood there motionless, allowing the other party to fold her sleeves upwards.

"You were so cute just now. I think I will always remember it."

In the night, the boy's eyelashes were dotted with fine snow.

At this moment, what the other party performed seemed to be real magic.

The 180cm sleeves were folded several times and immediately turned into warm gray clouds wrapped around her forearms.

"Okay, now you can use your arms normally, right? We're going to play in the snow later, and you can't act like a ghost."

Su Qing took a few glances at his masterpiece and said with satisfaction.

"Ah Piao, what is that?"

Mahiru turned her wrist in curiosity, with a bright smile on her face.

OK, I'm happy again.

"It's the kind of ghost that scares children late at night. You looked like a ghost just now with your sleeves dragging so long." Su Qing explained.

"Then you are the ghost, and only cowards would be scared, right?" Mahiru retorted.

"Yeah, I'm a coward, so I don't dare to sleep alone at night.

You are already familiar with my home, why don't you sleep with me tonight?" Su Qing teased.

It was a trick that anyone with a discerning eye could tell, but Mahiru's pretty face turned red like a cherry on a cream cake.

"I, I might not be ready yet, but if you want..."

After an unknown amount of time, Mahiru spoke slowly with a nervous and expectant mood.

When I spend the night at my boyfriend's house, no matter how I think about it, I want to do that, that, that - that!

Ah… Although this is perfectly normal, she seems not ready yet.

It was too sudden!

But I don't know why, I'm so happy.

"I think you are not a ghost, you are a little pervert. What are you thinking about? You are really just sleeping."

Su Qing used both hands to knead Mahiru's face, trying to awaken her sanity in this way.

No, it could also be that he simply wanted to bully her again.

"Yes, what you said was too ambiguous! Besides, why would you say such a thing in such a good mood!"

Upon hearing this, Mahiru's eyes immediately widened in surprise.

It seems that she had just been fostering feelings for nothing!

The big liar Su Qing is unforgivable!

"Didn't I say I'm a coward? I'm a little scared sleeping at home alone at night."

Su Qing said calmly.

"You're lying. How did you sleep before?"

Mahiru was still sulking and questioned it right away.

"Well... the coward's limited return tonight, you really aren't coming? Forget it then."

Su Qing sighed, his voice low.

"Although I don't know what day it is today, but since it's a limited return, I'll accompany you...

This is also limited to tonight!"

Mahiru pulled Su Qing's hand, smoothed her hair as if nothing had happened, and said with an averted gaze.

"I thought you agreed because you were afraid to sleep alone at night." Su Qing said.

"I'm not a coward. I already said I'm here to accompany you!"

Mahiru pouted unhappily.

"Okay, okay, you're not a coward, you're a little pervert." Su Qing said with a smile.

Annoying ghost Su Qing!

It was obviously you who lied to me first, making me think too much!

Mahiru pouted angrily, thinking that she must roll a snowball bigger than his face and throw it at him!

"Then... I mean, if I were a coward, would you come with me?"

Mahiru stole a glance at Su Qing beside him and asked tentatively.

"Yes, of course."

Su Qing said without hesitation, and even answered twice.

The language tells us that this serves to emphasize the meaning.

Very important, will be tested!

"Oh……"

Mahiru made an unintelligible sound.

The snowflakes in the twilight are woven into gold foil under the street lights, and the dark gray coat draws a gentle arc in the pure white world.

The girl thought about it and said:

“In that case, I am also a coward.

Let’s make a promise, if one of us has a limited coward comeback, we have to sleep together and keep each other company!”

"Well, then we are all cowards?"

"Hey, you're right, we are all cowards!"

The laughter of the two people was shattered in the windy and snowy night.

Not far away, the Yamanote Line bus roared and crushed the light spots on the platform, sending the answer into the distance.
