She stared blankly at her daughter.
The words she spoke were just like her past self.
It's like a cycle repeating itself over and over again...
"I...I don't know..."
……
Will I ever see that couple again?
Another sigh, accompanied by the howling wind outside the glass door, pulled Sato's thoughts back to the work at hand.
“Welcome~”
As the automatic glass door slowly opened, a synthesized female voice rang out.
They walked in from the opposite direction.
It was Su Qing and Zhen Zhou.
?
Thirty minutes ago.
Su Qing's family.
"The food in the refrigerator... seems a bit insufficient."
After opening the refrigerator, Mahiru stared at it unhappily for a while before quickly making a decision—she would go and buy some more ingredients.
Actually, the amount of food in the refrigerator at this moment is enough for Zhenzhu to cook a dinner.
But it was just an ordinary meal.
Even though nothing much happened today, Mahiru just wanted to do something good and have a small celebration.
[Hmm... since he's going to have an extra meal anyway, it's okay to make it a bit more lavish than usual, right?]
As Mahiru thought this, a sweet smile appeared on her face.
"We're running out of ingredients, I'll go buy some more."
"Close the refrigerator," Mahiru said to Su Qing in the living room.
"Isn't that enough?"
Su Qing felt somewhat puzzled.
You should know that he specifically checked the refrigerator's contents this morning.
Based on past experience, there should be enough food for Mahiru.
"That's really not enough."
Mahiru's eyes darted around, clearly looking guilty.
She is not good at lying, and even less good at lying to Su Qing.
He doesn't know how to cook...he doesn't know how to cook...
Mahiru could only repeat this to herself.
Taking advantage of the fact that Su Qing doesn't know how to cook, he definitely doesn't know how much food is "enough"!
Just a pity.
Although Su Qing didn't know anything about cooking.
But he understands the true nature of daylight, and that's "enough".
Su Qing smiled silently, guessing what was going on in her mind, but she didn't expose Mahiru's lie.
He looked out the window and saw wisps of dark clouds passing by.
Is another typhoon coming?
Su Qing narrowed her eyes slightly.
He remembered the last time a typhoon caused a power outage.
Mahiru was at his house that time.
He's sitting on the same sofa he's sitting on now.
Trembling, uneasy.
It made his heart ache like it was being shattered...
That's the downside of having an extraordinary memory.
Pain or happiness.
All of these were deeply imprinted in his mind.
It lingers, like a shadow.
While Su Qing was looking out the window, Mahiru had already quietly arrived at the entrance.
She lowered her head, preparing to quickly change her shoes and escape.
The reason for this rush is actually quite simple.
one.
She was worried that if she continued talking, she would feel guilty and give herself away in front of Su Qing.
Secondly, and most importantly.
She wanted to secretly give Su Qing a little surprise!
In her opinion
Su Qing is such an idiot. She probably just thinks of "extra food" as "an extra dessert after a meal."
Big mistake!
Mahiru was secretly complaining about Su Qing again.
she thinks,
It's time to use your culinary skills to give them a real shock!
We can't let Su Qing look down on my extra meal again!
Mahiru lightly bit her thin lips, making a gesture to encourage herself.
Suddenly, a light force came from my shoulder.
Mahiru turned her head blankly, only to meet a pair of dark eyes that made her feel a little guilty.
The owner of the dark eyes smiled slightly, which only made Mahiru feel more guilty.
"Your Highness, where are we going?"
……
Chapter 225 The Wind Is Still Howling
"Your Highness, where are we going?"
Mahiru subconsciously tried to avoid meeting that gaze.
But those eyes seemed to possess some kind of magic, making her unable to resist staring at them like this.
[How despicable! Using pretty eyes to attract me is so underhanded!]
Mahiru couldn't help but feel resentful inside.
"Go, go buy groceries. Didn't I just tell you there weren't enough vegetables in the fridge?"
Mahiru swallowed hard.
Because of nervousness, her beautiful eyes blinked repeatedly.
But she still tried her best to put on an innocent and sincere expression.
From Su Qing's perspective.
The already beautiful princess now has an even more adorable look.
"It's very windy outside, you should go back and change into something more suitable," Su Qing said.
[They managed to get away with it by deception.]
Without making a sound, Mahiru let out a breath and nodded, "Okay."
?
Mahiru's family.
Inside the girl's room.
Mahiru is a decisive person, which can be seen from the way she helped Su Qing unpack his luggage when he first arrived at the apartment.
Just a few minutes later, Mahiru came out of the room wearing a cream-colored schoolgirl-style dress.
"How, how is it?"
Mahiru spun around lightly twice.
Because the skirt was long enough to reach her ankles, it did not flutter.
Even so, Mahiru is still incredibly beautiful.
"It suits your temperament very well. But now I suddenly feel that the word 'princess' is not enough for you."
Su Qing said with a smile.
"Really? Then you'd better think of some new words quickly~" Mahiru covered her mouth and chuckled, "Speaking of which, this seems to be your first time visiting my house."
"The second time. The first time was when you fainted from a cold."
Su Qing corrected.
"Oh... I remember now..."
Mahiru's face flushed slightly as she muttered to herself.
"Looking at it now, it seems to have a similar structure to my house."
After surveying the layout of the Mahiru residence, Su Qing's gaze finally settled on a door.
If I remember correctly, that should be Mahiru's room, right?
"After all, they're in the same apartment building..."
As Mahiru was speaking, she suddenly noticed Su Qing's gaze.
Curious, I looked in that direction, only to find my own room door at the end.
"I...I need to go buy groceries, or I'll be too late."
Mahiru's face turned even redder.
She couldn't quite figure out Su Qing's thoughts.
Is the other person planning to come into my room?
No no no.
Her room holds a big secret!
"I know, haven't I been waiting for you all this time?"
Turning her gaze away, Su Qing prepared to go out.
"Huh? I can go by myself..."
Mahiru waved her hand, refusing.
[Idiot... if you come along, how am I supposed to give you a little surprise?]
"Didn't I tell you? It's very windy outside. I'm worried the princess will be blown away, and I want to stay with her. Is that not allowed?"
Su Qing took two steps forward, getting closer to Zhen Zhou.
"Shouldn't accompanying someone be something a knight would do?"
