Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 19

Hmm? Is he planning to join the Masked Gang and open the Heavenly Gate with his sword, or is he planning to follow the example of some evil clan and start the Fourth Shinobi World War?

However, she really does look like a shy and timid kitten right now.

Could it be that the angel was actually a kitten in her past life, and in this life she has become a cat girl to repay me by being my little cook?

Su Qing was bursting with inspiration. He felt he could write hundreds of thousands of words of urban fantasy novel, "The Cat Demon Chef," and immediately become a top-tier author. But after thinking about it, Su Qing decided against it. Even fantasy novels need to be logical! Without logic, readers won't feel any connection to the story, and who else would they criticize but you?

Furthermore, if my book were actually published and adapted into a live-action version, and then an actress in a red dress said, "Catgirl, I've got your back," wouldn't that chill the hearts of my future die-hard fans?

Thus, Su Qing failed to attain the status of a Great God.

"Shiina, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"Hmm, no, I rarely order takeout or eat out."

Shiina Mahiru put down the cushion, thought for a moment, and then answered.

I see. That makes sense. The angel can just cook whatever she wants to eat, but Su Qing has to consider many things. She has to see which restaurant is good, whether it's hygienic, and whether it's good value for money...

Let's order something that Shiina doesn't usually seem like she'd make. After all, if we order ramen or something, we'll just be disappointed when we eat it and think, "This is it? It's not even as good as my angel's!"

"Then I'll decide for myself. You just wait for the takeout to arrive."

"OK"

After the conversation ended, Su Qing began browsing through various food delivery restaurants.

KEC... No, no, today isn't Crazy Thursday. KEC is just so-so, and what about Kalaishi? That's even worse... Wait, where did this Kalaishi branch come from? Japan has only been an autonomous region for a short time, and they've already opened a branch here?

After marveling at the speed of China, Zhou decisively shook his head and passed. According to the majority, a pretty girl cannot become a jetpack superhero, let alone a jetpack angel.

After much hesitation, since there weren't many good takeout options, Su Qing ordered a pizza place called Da Meile. She had eaten there a few times before her transmigration, always by herself. The food was indeed quite good, at least much better than a certain Pizza Hut.

After mentally criticizing her, Su Qing put her phone away and turned her gaze back to Shiina Mahiru, or more accurately, Shiina Mahiru's feet.

Why "foot" instead of "feet"? Su Qing thought this was the wisdom of the ancients. "Jade feet" sounds like a delicacy, but what about "jade feet"? Just like a dish, you have to make it look, smell, and taste delicious to whet people's appetite. But "jade feet" just sounds unappetizing!

Of course, jade feet are inedible. Even if Su Qing were starving, she would never eat such a thing! It would be too disgusting.

Did you feel any better after applying ice?

"I feel much better; it doesn't hurt as much as it did at first."

Phew, that's good. If Su Qing was only 80% sure that Shiina had only suffered a minor sprain at the beginning, now there is a 99.99% probability that she can be certain.

"Please avoid exercise for the next couple of days. If you need help moving any heavy objects, feel free to ask me."

"Also, if the pain worsens, don't push yourself. I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."

"I'm not that delicate. Su Qing isn't treating me like a child, is she?"

Shiina Mahiru pouted and said with dissatisfaction.

What's with this guy? I've lived alone for so long, I'm not stupid. He's acting like some kind of doting father. But then again, thinking about how Su Qing just took off my socks to put an ice pack on me, carried me back to my apartment, and that broad back of his—he does seem kind of reliable after all.

My brain's CPU started working inexplicably, searching for some fragment in my memory, but unfortunately, it seems that the memory stick doesn't have this memory stored. Is this the first time someone has cared about me like this?

This feeling isn't so bad~

As she thought about it, Shiina Mahiru's lips unconsciously curled up into a beautiful smile.

Look, look, and you still say you're not a child?

"You're absolutely right. After all, what kid twists their ankle while walking? What do you think, Shiina?"

!!!

"Well, isn't that because..."

Shiina Mahiru stammered for a moment, unable to speak for a long time.

"Why is that, little Shiina? Tell Su Qing-gege (older brother)."

Su Qing clearly didn't want to miss this opportunity to tease Shiina Mahiru, so he pressed his advantage. On one hand, the girl's shy demeanor really tugged at his heartstrings, and on the other hand... he hadn't decided yet.

Okay, Su Qing admitted that he just wanted to see Shiina like this, like shedding all pretenses and becoming a normal female college student, instead of that shameless nickname "Angel," or that poor, homeless kid foolishly getting soaked in the rain on a park swing.

Sympathy, pity, or any other emotion—it didn't matter. Su Qing wanted to do it, so he did.

No, is it too late to regret it now?

Shiina-kun!? What an embarrassing nickname! What did I just say?! Su Qing regretted it. How could I have said something so awkward that it could have filled a villa in Shanghai?!

Haha, it doesn't matter anymore, let it all be destroyed, I'm going to create a world without children!

Politeness: Oh, are you a child?

"Because yesterday when you were asleep, I thought your eyelashes were so beautiful, so I wanted to touch them."

After Shiina Mahiru finished speaking, suppressing her embarrassment, her little head made intimate contact with the cushion once again.

Damn it, this cushion is way too perfect! Let me have a turn of my head!

The girl's voice was soft and sweet, each syllable like a flower petal kissed by morning dew, soft and pure, with a slight tremor.

Then, it traveled through the air to Su Qing's ears, and then, through bright red blood cells, was transported with oxygen to Su Qing's heart.

As a result, the heart rate increases, and the body awakens as if from hibernation. The pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, gonads, and other secretory organs operate and secrete wildly, affecting the entire body.

At that moment, Su Qing felt as if her skin was burning, and her heart was pounding wildly against her chest.

Girl, you're in danger!

After marveling at the angel's destructive power, Su Qing regained her composure and smiled:

"So, you were running away last night, and that's why you're avoiding me today?"

"Um"

"So, would you like to touch it now?"

"Can, is it okay?"

Shiina Mahiru slowly lowered the cushion, revealing only her two beautiful flaxen eyes.

"Of course, I don't want you to twist your other ankle while running away."

After saying that, Su Qing closed her eyes and remained motionless, with only her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Shiina Mahiru hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should touch her.

It felt as if an angel and a devil were arguing inside my heart.

Little Angel Mahiru: How could you touch me? Su Qing was just joking.

Little Devil Mahiru: What kind of joke is this? He's closed his eyes right now, looking like he's about to be slaughtered!

Little Angel Mahiru: This is only because Su Qing trusts us, how can we betray that trust!

Little Devil Mahiru: Hehehe, that's exactly why I should touch her—to live up to that trust!

……

Shiina Mahiru gently turned her body to the side, her gaze falling on Su Qing's long, drooping eyelashes, each one seemingly meticulously crafted, radiating a faint luster.

So, as if she had made up her mind, Shiina Mahiru slowly extended her snow-white jade-like hand, as if she were about to open Pandora's box. Her fingertips trembled slightly involuntarily, and with a hint of curiosity and shyness, she slowly approached Su Qing's face.

If you look closely, you'll notice that Su Qing's hands are clenched tightly, and her palms are sweating profusely.

Finally, in the instant when they could almost feel each other's breath, she mustered her courage and gently, almost with a feather-like touch, touched that forbidden thing.

At this moment, Su Qing's eyelashes seemed to tremble slightly because of this sudden tenderness, as if they had been summoned by some kind of magic.

Shiina Mahiru's fingers gently traced the edge of her eyelashes, feeling the delicate and subtle touch. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and her cheeks unconsciously flushed.

……

"Hello, your pizza has arrived..."

The doorbell rang like a thunderclap. Shiina Mahiru quickly withdrew her hand like a startled deer, gripping the cushion tightly with both hands, sitting up straight and upright, her head involuntarily turning to the floor beside her.

Su Qing's tightly clenched hand quietly loosened at this moment, but when she opened her eyes again, which were usually as deep and clear as lake water, ripples appeared.

"I'll go get the takeout."

Su Qing got up and left in a somewhat flustered manner.

"okay"

The girl's voice was still faint, but it could be heard clearly in the somewhat cramped space.

……

After receiving the takeout, the two sat at the table without saying a word, their eyes occasionally meeting but quickly looking away.

And so they ate the pizza, bite by bite, but coincidentally, neither of them could taste the pizza.

……

It seems that even Da Meile's pizza isn't all that great.

……

Chapter 28: Fake

[This chapter can be skipped; it doesn't affect the plot. This chapter was written when the author had a brain fart.]

After Shiina Mahiru bowed her head and said "Thank you for the hospitality," she ran away like a little rabbit fleeing the wolf's den. Su Qing then sat lazily on the sofa, tilted her head back, and made a gesture as if hugging the ceiling, beginning to question her life.

No way, how could any silly girl actually reach out and touch my eyelashes? Who gave her permission?!

Oh, so it was my own choice and initiative. Never mind then.

No, my willingness and initiative don't mean you can actually touch me!

Got it, the mother version is a direct knockout, forever the top-tier version!

Ultimately, no matter how curious you are, you wouldn't think of touching someone else's eyelashes, right?

Hmm, maybe not. Su Qing thought back on his life and realized that he didn't have any female friends at all, and he didn't know whether doing this kind of thing was normal or not.

Before transmigrating, Su Qing had no interest in most women. After all, who would start by saying "I like you" and chat with her in such an obviously flirtatious tone? What kind of female player was this, going out fishing? Before this, he didn't even know her name or her measurements. Su Qing couldn't think of any other explanation for her launching such a powerful attack right away, except that she was lusting after his body.

Moreover, Su Qing didn't think he could fall in love with those girls. No, to be more precise, he didn't think they could stay with him for life. As a staunch warrior of pure love, even in this fast-paced era where everyone is more inclined to have a one-time relationship to satisfy their adolescent hormones, Su Qing still insisted on his pure love path. Of course, is fast-paced love wrong?

No, everyone's way of dating is their own choice, and there is no right or wrong.

In this era of intense competition, fast pace, and high pressure, our living space is constantly squeezed by endless learning and work. We no longer feel that the daytime truly belongs to us, so most people choose to stay up late, even if it's just browsing Douyin (TikTok). Even if the content Douyin pushes today is idiotic and boring, it doesn't matter; we still choose to move our fingers and swipe to the next one.

Even if we have to go to work at 8 a.m. the next day, we still reluctantly put down our phones at 3 a.m. We know very well that once we fall asleep and wake up again, when the sun rises again in the east, our time may no longer belong to us.

These are all obvious signs of a person's emptiness and loneliness.

Similarly, there will be times when you want to be alone, when you feel so tired and wish the world would end, but there will also be times when you want to share, even if it's just cursing your boss for withholding your wages, criticizing the company's unreasonable policies, or even complaining that you ordered takeout today but they didn't give you chopsticks and made you eat with your hands like an African.

You can't deny that humans are social animals. We feel lonely and have a desire to share. Even if you know that he or she knows that no matter how eloquently you speak, no one can really help you, but it's enough that someone is willing to listen and rant with you, isn't it?

But the pace of this era is too fast. Where are my friends from elementary school, middle school, and university today? Even the best of friends aren't family. They also need to be busy with their own lives and take care of their families.

Therefore, the concept of "partner" came into being.

We crave the presence of a partner, the companionship, the ability to depend on and be depended on, and the easiest form of partner to find in life is a "lover".

I like you.

I like you too.

Thus, the two forged a sacred alliance pact: "In this world where chaos and order intertwine, I seek that one color—that is you, my partner. Our love, like a forbidden curse, is powerful and mysterious, enough to shake the very foundations of the world."

However, it came quickly and went quickly.

Don't believe me? Listen to this.

"Love comes too fast, it's like..."

On the first day, you met through a friend's introduction, added each other on WeChat, and became interested in each other after seeing each other's photos on WeChat Moments.

The next day, you had a great time chatting on WeChat until late at night, feeling like you had known each other for a long time, and you even made plans to go out for dinner and entertainment the following day.

On the third day, you hit it off immediately. When you met in person, you felt that the other person was even more attractive than in the photos, and the humorous topics they brought up from time to time made you burst into laughter.

So you had a great time until late at night, and then he/she said, "It's too late, let's just get a room." You happily nodded in agreement.

On the fourth day, you and he/she officially announced your relationship. You got along very sweetly and went through a period of intense love that even bees would envy. You called each other "baby" every day, and your days seemed to be filled with love, no longer feeling empty.

Then one day, you suddenly realize that his/her conditions are actually very poor, and if you get together, life will be very tiring at first. So, you listen to the advice of your parents and friends, put on your pants/skirt, pack your bags, and leave.

Rather than using the sophisticated and cultured term "fast-food romance," it's more like a spontaneous trip or a quick and easy meal.
