Hearing Su Qing's reason, Mahiru smiled happily, but she still wanted to try again.
"If you think about it, it doesn't really matter what it is."
Su Qing shook her head and replied indifferently.
"Let's go. Didn't we say it was getting late?"
Su Qing urged again.
"okay."
Mahiru nodded slightly, and as Su Qing turned around, she slowly exhaled.
[The surprise... is ruined~]
[Knowing we were going together, shouldn't we have chosen an outfit more carefully?]
Despite this troubling situation, the smile on Mahiru's lips only deepened.
[Oh, right.]
[Neither princes nor knights can compare to Su Qing~]
[Su Qing, it's Su Qing~]
Mahiru walked over to Su Qing's side in a few steps, smiling broadly.
perhaps.
Angels will never be able to purify demons in this lifetime, right?
?
On the way to the supermarket, the weather was just as Su Qing had described.
The wind was really strong, making Mahiru's long hair a bit messy.
"Your hair is all messed up."
Mahiru suddenly said.
"Indeed, but the princess hairstyle isn't messed up."
Hearing Mahiru's words, Su Qing turned her head and looked at the flaxen-haired man.
"Even when it's messy, it's still cool."
Mahiru replied with a completely irrelevant statement.
wrong.
It turned out that Su Qing herself was the one who was making completely irrelevant remarks.
"So you were talking about me?"
Su Qing then realized what was happening.
"How rude of me. Is there a third person here?"
Mahiru pretended to be dissatisfied and said.
Then he reached out and beckoned, seemingly hinting at something to Su Qing.
However, the latter simply smiled upon seeing this, without making any move.
"Aren't you going to hold my hand?"
Having run out of options, Mahiru was the first to speak and ask a question.
"I'm worried I've misunderstood again."
Su Qing also pretended to be troubled as she spoke.
"Okay... I admit I was deliberately misleading you just now."
Su Qing can be quite wicked at times.
Just like it is now.
Even though I knew she was doing it on purpose, I still insisted on making her say it.
"Hmm... anything else?"
Su Qing remained calm and continued to ask with a smile.
"And...and..." Mahiru stammered, but being quick-witted, she soon came up with a suitable reason, "Aren't you worried I'll be blown away by the wind? If you hold my hand, you won't have to worry about me being blown away~"
The wind is howling.
The girl's melodious voice was like a wind chime in a temple, tinkling melodiously with the slightest breeze.
The idea of "true daytime" is very effective.
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, her hand felt a warmth that didn't belong to her, yet belonged to her.
"Let's go."
Su Qing spoke softly, without replying to Mahiru.
It was as if I hadn't heard what she had said at all.
Or maybe.
Those things are not needed in the first place.
Is another typhoon coming?
Holding Su Qing's hand, Mahiru felt a sense of peace in her heart.
She looked up at the sky not far away, her expression somewhat worried.
"It should be." Su Qing nodded.
"I still remember the last typhoon, when the apartment lost power." Mahiru's gentle voice suddenly became distant. "Thank you so much for that time."
"I've said thank you enough that time," Su Qing said after a moment of silence.
"This time is different from that time."
And I bet you were not only teasing me, but also trying to get me to say what I wanted, right?
Mahiru smiled slightly, like a flower swaying in the wind.
She was so beautiful, so strong.
She actually had a vague feeling about it.
You can tell from the fact that Su Qing specifically emphasized letting her be willful like a child.
"If you think it's necessary, then it has to be necessary even if it's not."
Su Qing returned the smile.
The answer, however, was somewhat ambiguous.
?
Su Qing guessed that Mahiru's childhood could probably be described as "tragic".
That's not good.
At the very least, Su Qing doesn't like it.
A child's willfulness is always temporary.
Growing up seems to involve making do, making do, and making do again.
Just make do.
They just made do with whatever life took them.
Gradually, I came to realize that there's nothing wrong with making do or settling for less.
after all.
Humans are the most adept at self-comfort and self-forgiveness.
Su Qing didn't want to be like Masahiro.
Choose the life you want.
Start by getting into the habit of saying "I want".
?
"Isn't that a rather cunning argument?"
It seemed to express resentment, and also helplessness.
In short.
Su Qing could feel the pressure on her hand increase.
It's like a child's prank.
"What if I really get blown away by the wind?"
The topic of Mahiru seems a bit out of place.
"As long as I'm here, it won't happen."
Su Qing held on even tighter.
"If, if..."
As if she had heard a satisfactory answer, the girl smiled even more slyly.
"My sense of smell is actually quite good."
"Um... so what?"
So, no matter where the wind takes you, I will find you.
[It was like... that encounter in the rain.]
The two stopped in their tracks, gazing intently at the delicate face. Su Qing spoke very seriously.
"Idiot. If that were the case, I would have come to you myself. That's how it should be."
In her caramel-colored eyes, only Su Qing's figure appeared, Mahiru said.
"Wouldn't it be faster if we went in both directions?"
"Hmm...that's true~"
The wind was still howling.
Invariably.
The sound of their footsteps echoed in the wind.

Chapter 226 The Difficult Decision: The Whetstone
?
Inside the supermarket.
Is there anything in particular you'd like to eat?
After skillfully pushing a shopping cart out of the pile of carts, Mahiru asked Su Qing.
"It's a bit... hard to decide..."
After naturally taking the shopping cart, Su Qing looked troubled, as if she found Mahiru's question quite difficult.
Seeing Su Qing make such a move, Zhen Zhou simply smiled slightly.
[They seem a bit like newlyweds...]
With that thought in mind, Mahiru put her hands behind her back, took two quick steps forward, and looked at Su Qing with a smile.
"I know, you want to eat them all. That's why you can't decide, right?"
"Your Highness, you are so clever."
Su Qing said with a smile.
