Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

Ten minutes later, Hikigaya made his grand entrance.

"Try this handmade cookie." Hikigaya took out a few pieces of charcoal and motioned for them to eat it.

Smart Yukinoshita frowned cutely and didn't eat it;

The simple-minded Yui took a small bite with a skeptical look;

The harmless Su Qing was so hungry that he ate several pieces.

"How is it?" Hikigaya asked confidently.

"It tastes terrible... Is this what you call delicious cookies?" Yui realized that she had been deceived and said in pain, covering her mouth.

"Well, I'll just throw it away..." Hikigaya's expression suddenly turned awkward after hearing this answer, and he walked away somewhat dejected.

One second

Two seconds

three seconds

Why is my test wrong? Shouldn't someone come to stop me at this time?

"Yui, the cookies you made have improved a bit. They taste okay, but the temperature is not well controlled." Su Qing, who was like a starving ghost, ate several more pieces secretly and openly.

Wouldn't this guy be poisoned if he ate so much? Hikigaya thought Su Qing didn't recognize that it was made by Yuihama, and if he ate all of it, wouldn't he lose a friend and be sent to jail by Zhang San for "drug endangerment to public safety resulting in death"? ?

I can only say that life without sewing on a sewing machine with my giegie is doomed to be a failure.

"This is a cookie made by Yuigahama-san, right?" No matter how Yukinoshita looked at it, she could only come to this conclusion.

“Huh?! So this is what I made… No wonder it tastes so bad emmm” Yui complained self-awarely.

The two looked at Hikigaya, hoping that he would give them a reasonable explanation.

"Ah... Actually, this comes from my friend's experience. Boys are simple creatures. As long as you say hello to him or send him a message, he will misunderstand you and mistakenly think that you like him or something..."

When Hikigaya said this, he found that Su Qing was looking at him with eyes full of pity.

"Stop looking at me like that!"

"I understand. Mainland China also often starts sentences with the classic sentence pattern of 'I have a friend'." Su Qing patted Hikigaya's shoulder like a considerate older brother.

"He's really my friend..." Hikigaya insisted.

"So what lesson do you want to draw from this sad story?" Yukinoshita also looked at Hikigaya with pity.

"I've already said that we are true friends! Anyway, as long as the cookies are made by girls with hard work, boys will definitely accept them with tears of gratitude and eat them all happily."

Su Qing's hand, which was about to put the cookie into his mouth, suddenly froze.

The other three people also noticed this scene and looked at Su Qing. The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

"..." x3

Silence is the bridge of the cooking laboratory.

"I'm just hungry, and I'm not in a good mood..." Su Qing put away the cookies calmly and said seriously.

"Ahem, anyway, just try your best to convey your feelings, the taste is secondary." Hikigaya came to the final conclusion.

“Is that so?” Yui’s CPU burned out.

"It's a der." Su Qing interrupted and said.

"You just wanted us to say 'this cookie isn't that bad' with your poor performance, right?"

"I think my performance was pretty good..." Hikigaya touched his head. Is his acting really that bad?

"That's just to comfort friends. Also, have a bite of this cookie."

Su Qing shook his head, then took out a piece of charcoal and stuffed it into Hikigaya's mouth. Although Hikigaya tried his best to resist, Su Qing did not give him any room to resist.

"How?" Su Qing asked as he watched Hikigaya swallow it.

"If you want to ask me how it is... I can only say it's just so-so. It's amazing that you were able to eat so much of this just now."

Hikigaya looked as embarrassed as if he had eaten something unpleasant.

"That means you are not moved at all right now."

"I really don't dare to move." Hikigaya chose to follow his heart.

"Then if you think about it, this cookie was made specially for you by me to improve my cooking skills?" Su Qing ate another small piece and then asked.

"If it were you...it wouldn't be easy to achieve this." Hikigaya got goosebumps when he thought of the indescribable food.

"I think, you'd be quite touched, right? And then eat all this with tears in your eyes." Hikigaya said uncertainly. After all, no one had ever done such a thing for him.

"What the transfer student means is that communicating one's feelings is possible, but there are limitations?" Yukinoshita succinctly summarized Su Qing's thoughts.

"Correct answer, reward..." Su Qing snapped his fingers, then as if thinking about something, and finally took out another biscuit and handed it to Yukinoshita.

"Let's use this as a reward first."

"No...thank you." Yukinoshita politely refused Kurotan.

"What do you mean? What do you mean?" Yui on the side was so anxious, saying that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 chip was simply not enough. She could understand every word they said individually, but why couldn't she understand them when they were put together.

"What it means is that handmade cookies don't have to be delicious, they just have to be edible. The key is to express your feelings. However, the transmission of feelings needs to be based on a good understanding between the two people. The recipient must be able to roughly understand the efforts made by the sender to give a hint."

Seeing that Yui's eyes were still spinning in circles, Su Qing thought about it and gave an analogy.

"For example, I know your math grades are very bad. You got 10 points last time, but you got 50 points to make me happy. Although it's still a failure, I will still be happy for your hard work."

"I...I didn't get a perfect score last time!" Yui Hongwen said.

Is that the point? x3

"I roughly understand what you mean. Then, if it were you, Xiaoqing, would you be touched?" Yui asked awkwardly.

It's so obvious, it's almost written on your face that I'm giving it to you. Hikigaya finally understood. This is obviously for Su Qing, right? Isn't it a bit strange to ask for help from the person you want to give it to?

"I don't know, I think so, but I'm a little hungry now and don't have the strength to move." Su Qing shrugged and ate another small piece of charcoal.

So, is this transfer student the reincarnation of Tanjiro?

Yukinoshita thought silently, apart from this, the only thing she could think of was Su Qing being the reincarnation of a starving ghost.

"That's too much. Anyway, I understand. Let me try my method again. Thank you, Yukinoshita-san."

"Are you really okay by yourself?" Yukinoshita said with some concern. Of course, she was worried about whether this cooking laboratory would be blown up or something.

"It's okay, thank you so much today." Yui thanked everyone with a smile.

"Let her try harder on her own, let's go back to the club first." Su Qing glanced at Yui and said.

……

In the service department, there was still some time before the club activity ended, and the three of them returned to their positions.

"I say, is that really a good idea?" Yukinoshita asked the other two.

"What do you mean?"

"I just received a request from Yuigahama-san. I think that in order to improve myself, I need to challenge my own limits. That will be better for Yuigahama-san."

“Hard work won’t betray yourself, but it will betray your dreams. Often most efforts are difficult to realize in the end. However, even if you can’t realize it after trying hard, you can take it as a consolation.” The speaker was Hikigaya.

"That's nothing but self-satisfaction, so disgusting." Yukinoshita replied bluntly.

"To bravely charge into areas where you are lacking is essentially an improvement. Have you forgotten? It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. We have already put her on track. How far she can go is up to her."

"What's more, even if your efforts don't achieve what you want in the short term, it will still be a good experience in life. One day, this humble experience will bear fruit."

Su Qing was reading a book titled "Snow Country" and spoke to the two without even raising his head.

"Really?" Yukinoshita did not deny Su Qing's statement. She turned her head to the side and looked at the scenery outside the window, as if she was thinking about something.

Hikigaya continued to play dead and act like a nobody.

The three of them did not leave the classroom until the club activity time was over.

……

"How long have you been waiting?" Su Qing asked with a smile as she looked at Yui who hid her hands behind her back.

“I wasn’t waiting, but after I finished, I realized that it was almost time for the club activities to end…” Yui twirled her hair a few times while speaking.

"Really? Then walk with me for a while." Su Qing didn't say anything else, but just took a few steps forward.

"Oh, wait for me." Yui shook her calf socks and walked side by side with Su Qing.

Many times, many things,

You know it, I know it;

You know I know, and I know you know.

But it's like an instinct engraved in human DNA, and I still can't help but ask.

"Today's commission is to give me cookies, right?"

It's so obvious, it couldn't be more obvious.

“Yeah.” Yui didn’t speak as energetically as usual today, perhaps because she had wasted too much enthusiasm on cooking.

After hearing this, Su Qing said nothing more and just continued walking with Yui.

After walking for a while, Su Qing suddenly stopped, and Yui turned around and looked at Su Qing in confusion.

"Actually, I don't really like cookies." Su Qing said lightly. Yuigahama Yui thought this was Su Qing's euphemism for not wanting to eat the cookies she made, and her mood instantly became depressed.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on Su Qing's face. Yui could even see a few of his hairs. The golden light made Su Qing look particularly gentle at this moment.

"But I think I like it a little now." Then, a big hand was gently placed on Yuigahama Yui's little head. This was the first time Su Qing touched the girl's head. His movements were gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing her.

【Boom】

"You worked very hard today, I am very happy."

Su Qing said with a smile, a very warm smile.

【Dongdong】

"Also, won't you give me the cookies hidden in the back? Do I really want to keep them and take them back to your Sabre?"

[Dong dong dong]

"I, I forgot!" Yui seemed to have just reacted. She hurriedly took her hand out from behind and handed the cookies wrapped in a more exquisite bag to Su Qing.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he spoke in panic.

"I remembered that my mother asked me to go home early today, so I'm leaving first!"

"Yeah, add it." Su Qing smiled and didn't say anything.

"Yeah, Kana-chan!"

Yui said goodbye with a red face, then ran as fast as she could, disappearing quickly from Su Qing's sight.

At the spot, Su Qing opened the bag, which contained a heart-shaped cookie, but it didn't look very good.

"Come to think of it, I'm a little hungry." The cookie was not very big, and Su Qing's mouth was wide open, so he finished it quickly in just three or two bites.

After eating, Su Qing did not choose to throw away the bag, but continued to hold it in his hand. Perhaps because the cookies were freshly made, there was still some temperature left in the bag.

And Su Qing just happened to like this temperature a little bit.

At this moment, there happened to be a gentle breeze blowing, gently blowing up the strands of hair on Su Qing's forehead. In the wind, the boy's voice seemed to be there and not there.

After all, the wind is just a passer-by on the journey, coming quietly and leaving irretrievably to a farther place.

But this time, what I brought to the distant place was a "thank you" that didn't sound very sincere.

……

"I'm home, mom."

Hearing her daughter's voice, Yuigahama's mother also came out from the kitchen.

"Welcome back. Why are you back so late today? Did you go out to play with your friends?"

"No, no, let's talk about it later." Yui quickly took off her little leather shoes, and without even bothering to put them away, she changed into indoor shoes and ran to her room, leaving Yuigahama's mother standing there helplessly to tidy up Yui's room.

"What's wrong with this child? His face is so red, could it be..."

The door was opened quickly and closed quickly.

Yuigahama Yui just leaned against the door. She wasn't very good at exercise and her calves were a little sore from the sudden intense exercise, but Yui didn't have time to think about it.

As if her body no longer had the strength to support her, Yui slowly slid down the door until she collapsed on the floor.

At that time, the room that was originally filled with many cute dolls seemed a bit empty. The room was exceptionally quiet. Yuigahama Yui could clearly feel the few drops of sweat on her forehead moving slowly, sliding across her skin, and then falling to the floor, making a pleasant sonata.

She didn't reach out to wipe it, but just placed one hand on her chest, constantly feeling the throbbing.

I don’t know if it’s because of my intense exercise, but my heart is beating uncontrollably fast, as if it’s cheering or jumping for joy.

"A little in love...?"

"Very good……"

In the quiet room, there was only the restless heartbeat of the girl at the time of heartbeat.

Enduring.
