The grass is bearing its seeds.

The wind is shaking its leaves.

We walked on,

not talking,

That would be wonderful.

Chapter 42 Please Don't Make the Angel Angry

Su Qing and Shiina Mahiru continued forward. Although the rain made the road slippery and not easy to walk on, the two quickly returned to the apartment.

"Then I'll take my leave now."

Shiina Mahiru nodded slightly, expressing her gratitude for the other party's escort back.

Due to the typhoon, the rain got heavier and heavier on the road. Although the umbrella was big enough, their hair inevitably got wet. This feeling was not pleasant, as it was sticky and felt like slugs were crawling on their heads. So they decided to go home and take a hot shower.

"Okay, see you later then."

Su Qing waved goodbye and turned to take out her keys to open the door.

"and many more."

The girl's voice sounded somewhat hurried, as if she had discovered something.

"Shiina, what's wrong?"

Su Qing turned around, somewhat curious about why Shiina had asked her to wait.

Shiina Mahiru did not answer immediately. She silently took two steps forward and stood in front of Su Qing.

Su Qing was startled by her sudden approach. He looked at Shiina Mahiru and saw her beautiful eyes wide open, staring intently at the right side of his body. Her gaze was focused and sharp, as if she wanted to see through his clothes to uncover his secrets.

Su Qing felt a surge of tension, unsure why Shiina Mahiru would do such a thing. He tried to remain calm, but a sense of unease crept in. Shiina Mahiru's gaze made him feel like an object of scrutiny, with nowhere to escape.

It's worth mentioning that although Soubu High School's uniform is dark-colored, if it gets wet from rain and the left half is compared, the difference is still quite obvious.

Su Qing looked like he was wearing a two-tone school uniform, and with his outstanding looks, well, some internationally renowned fashion brand could release a new product to fleece dog lovers again.

"Su Qing."

A moment later, the girl's somewhat indifferent voice came, making Su Qing feel a little uneasy, but there was nothing he could do but bite the bullet and answer.

"I'm here, I'm here."

Damn it, what kind of new human-computer dialogue is this? Are we playing the Turing test? Or is it that the angel is going to purify me after using the Great Demon? Well then, give me a quick death!

But before you die, could you at least let me finish the extra meal we agreed on?

The girl's voice was somewhat cold, and Su Qing felt that she must be angry, but he didn't know why she was angry. Su Qing could only think about these random things to cover up his panicked state of mind.

Do you remember what we talked about before we set off?

The angel judge posed a question.

Su Qing was taken aback. What did I say? Did I say something that made Shiina angry?

Is this questioning why that guy chose to work a part-time job during a typhoon for five times the pay? With the rain so heavy now, he definitely won't be able to come back, but that's okay, it's a perfect opportunity to make a youthful and passionate anime called "Heavy Rain, Part-Time Job, JK".

No, no, no, Su Qing, think carefully, do you still want to live to eat the angel's extra meal?

"Yes, does that mean I can't get wet because of you?"

After eliminating all the outrageous answers, Su Qing could only give this rather narcissistic response. If it wasn't, Su Qing felt he could just dig a hole and hide himself right now.

I just don't know if I'll have to pay compensation if I dig through it.

"So how did you promise me?"

The angel judge pressed further.

"It's all wrapped up, so it won't get wet."

Su Qing tried her best to perfectly replicate what she had said at the time, ensuring that every word and even every tone was consistent, hoping that the other party could forgive her because of her sincere attitude.

At this moment, Su Qing felt that she was actually so meticulous and had a craftsman's spirit.

"..."

Whether it was because Su Qing's prayers had an effect or not, the angel judge remained silent for a while, seemingly preparing to show leniency.

"Go back quickly, take a shower and change your clothes, we'll talk later."

"Oh, alright"

Su Qing answered subconsciously, just like the embarrassed look of being scolded by her homeroom teacher in her school days. Anyway, whatever the other person said, she just had to say yes, yes, yes, that was enough. The other person would even think that she was very sincere and had listened to what she said.

Although Su Qing still doesn't think she did anything wrong—her actions would be perfect in a visual novel, and her favorability rating should be skyrocketing right now, right? So, life is just a complete disaster! Explode!

Of course, using a game's progress as a metaphor for something, while simple and easy to understand, is actually quite impolite and rude.

Su Qing certainly didn't intend to cultivate any favorability like in a visual novel; she just did what she wanted to do.

Even assuming the worst, if the angelic little cook gets soaked, who will cook dinner for her?

Is it me, or you?

However, the fact that the other person still cares about me at a time like this, telling me to go take a shower first, shows that she truly is an angel.

All I can say is that the greatness of angels needs no further explanation.

But, could you please refrain from saying such noble things later?

……

Urgent! I am the King of Urgent Kingdom!

After showering, since boys generally take much longer to shower than girls, Su Qing sat on the sofa early, waiting for the final judgment of the angel judge, ready to submit to whatever fate had in store, hoping only to have that last supper.

However, the waiting time is always long. Su Qing sat on the sofa, feeling bored. Since things had come to this, she might as well watch some videos first.

……

Half an hour later.

"Knock, knock, knock," came the knocking at the door. It was undoubtedly the neighbor's angel. As usual, Su Qing should have already opened the door for the angel by now, because he knew that the other party had come to bring him warmth—the food.

But today is different. Humans are always filled with trepidation and unease when facing the unknown, especially when you know that the unknown is very likely to be bad.

But Su Qing couldn't let Shiina stand there like an idiot. After all, it's not a gentleman's basic courtesy to make a lady wait too long.

Come on, it's time to face the storm.

The door opened a crack, and then with a creak, a limited-edition—freshly bathed angel appeared before Su Qing's eyes.

The girl's skin glowed softly under the gentle light, crystal clear, as if every inch contained the tenderness and freshness of a newly blossoming flower.

She carried the fresh scent of shower gel, a unique blend of natural floral and delicate fruity fragrances. It was neither overly sweet nor overly gentle, lingering perfectly in the air, making one feel refreshed and as if in a garden on a spring morning.

She wore a khaki loungewear dress, the design of which was simple yet elegant. The hem draped gently, swaying softly with her slight movements, exuding a sense of casual comfort at home.

The khaki color complements the girl's fair skin, making her appear even more gentle and charming, as if she were a lady from a bygone era, carrying a pure and untainted beauty.

The girl's long, flaxen hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with a few wet strands still clinging to water droplets, occasionally slipping down to her chest, adding a touch of unintentional sexiness and allure to her.

Her caramel-colored eyes were clear and bright, as if they could see into people's hearts, yet they also carried a hint of hazy shyness, making people want to get closer and explore more of her secrets.

Su Qing was momentarily dazed, and even the slight unease she had felt earlier vanished.

"Please, please don't look at me like that."

The girl's tone was noticeably shy, and her eyes darted away, as if she dared not meet Su Qing's gaze.

Perhaps it was because she had just taken a hot shower, but Shiina's originally fair skin had a blush that added to her allure.

"Sorry, sorry, I was rude."

I retract my previous statement; let whoever wants to be the gentleman today!

Su Qing couldn't resist; instinct compelled him to steal a few more glances, before quickly looking away like a thief.

This is bad, really bad, bad in every sense of the word!

Chapter 43 However, the angel was not angry.

I need help online. What should I do if I have a freshly baked... I mean, freshly bathed beautiful girl in my house?

Option 1: This is something they've offered themselves up; she has no choice but to accept it, hehehe.

Option 2: Please bow deeply and ask her to treat you to the first ice cream of summer!

Option 3: Silently repeat "I am a gentleman, I am a gentleman," then tell her you're going to the restroom, and then do a calculus problem, taking the derivative several times before coming out.

"Drink all of these."

Shiina skillfully took a small bowl from the kitchen, poured in water that had been boiling for a while, added something to it, and then stirred and shook it with a spoon. Finally, a bowl of medicine with a strange smell was placed in front of Su Qing.

What's going on? Did we wander onto the wrong set?

Can anyone tell me why my neighbor, the angel, is giving off a witch vibe? Will this potion slowly rot away after I drink it, eventually even causing my corpse to decay and disappear?

"I have a feeling you're thinking about something rude."

The girl's voice came through, carrying obvious helplessness, but soon her tone became unusually gentle, as if she were coaxing a child.

"Please rest assured, there's nothing strange added; it's just ordinary cold medicine."

"That's it."

"So witches really don't exist," Su Qing thought to herself, then checked the water's temperature. Whether Shiina had done it intentionally or not, the temperature was just right—not too hot, but warm enough to comfortably drink. Su Qing then looked up and downed the entire bowl of medicine in one gulp.

"Yes, that's what a good child should do."

Shiina narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly quite satisfied that Su Qing had obediently finished the drink in one go, so she probably didn't need to worry too much.

So, shouldn't it be time for the trial?

At this moment, although Su Qing was confused by Shiina's attitude towards him coaxing a child to take medicine, he didn't think too much about it. He was just glad that he seemed to have escaped a disaster. Before taking a shower, he thought he was going to die because Shiina's voice was so cold!

Now it seems, well, I should be able to enjoy today's extra meal.

perhaps.

"So, Su Qing didn't keep her promise and lied to me."

When Shiina parted her lips to say those words, her tone seemed to contain an indescribable, faint sadness.

Su Qing's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was terribly wrong. Was it really that serious? They were having a perfectly good conversation on the way here, how did it turn out like this? And how could this be considered a lie? They were all scholars; matters concerning scholars are not so easily discussed.

Su Qing quickly composed herself and spoke with righteous indignation.

"Lie? I didn't lie to you. I would never lie to you, wouldn't you say?"

"Didn't we agree that you wouldn't get wet because of me?"

"Yes, look, let's analyze it."

Su Qing paused for a moment, cleared her throat, and then began to prove her innocence to the angel judge.

"First of all, we're saying I can't get wet because of you, right?"

"Ah."

"That's right, it's obviously not you who got me wet, it's the rain!"

When Su Qing said the last few words, her voice suddenly rose a few decibels, and her tone became somewhat agitated. Then she continued with a pained expression.

"And who would have thought that the wind would keep blowing in my direction, causing the rain to fall onto my shoulders!"

"So, actually, these are all problems with the umbrella designers. They didn't take the wind into account at all. They're not rigorous enough. Shiina, you can't learn from them in the future."

Su Qing gritted his teeth and said, as if he were really complaining about the design of the umbrella. Judging from his tone, it was as if the designer owed him five million.

"And getting wet, first we need to look up the definition of getting wet, right?"

Su Qing quickly took out her phone, like a curious child who had discovered something new and was showing off to an angel.

"You see, getting wet means that water or other liquids are spilled on the surface of an object, making the surface wet. In my situation at the time, only my right shoulder and some other parts were wet, so the other parts obviously were not wet."

Su Qing spoke with great enthusiasm, as if she had reached some important conclusion.

"Given that I was on the borderline between getting wet and not getting wet at the time, I personally believe that it shouldn't be called getting wet, but at most it should be called getting wet!"

Finally, Su Qing proved her innocence and solemnly addressed the angel judge.

Therefore, we can conclude that:
