"Really? But I don't know how, could you please count them for me?"
Even without looking at Su Qing, Mahiru could subconsciously picture the other's smiling face in her mind.
Her face turned pretty and blushed.
Mahiru didn't believe Su Qing couldn't count or anything!
Are you kidding me?
Despite her inner resentment, Mahiru couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
He immediately fell into distress again.
How should I count my boyfriend's abs?
This isn't as simple as counting small squares in elementary school...
Shall we lift it up and take a look...?
But wouldn't Su Qing be cold then?
The evening breeze blowing from the woods carried a chill, and he hadn't put on any hand warmers.
It would be bad if I caught a cold.
Mahiru convinced herself.
She swore she wasn't afraid to look at the other person's naked body!
Let's count them while they're lying around.
Mahiru acted immediately.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces...
eh?
Wow, so many pieces!
Mahiru couldn't count them all, because her face was already flushed red.
"Have you finished counting?"
Su Qing suddenly asked.
"Not yet."
Mahiru had no choice but to say this; she didn't want to give a random answer.
If she answers incorrectly, wouldn't she be worse than even an elementary school student?
"How can you count them through your clothes like that?"
Su Qing sighed softly and then said.
"Is it okay? Besides, I'm worried you'll catch a cold."
Mahiru retorted defiantly.
The sound was a little muffled.
"Then you'd better hurry up, I'll give you a maximum of thirty more seconds."
Su Qing thought for a moment, realizing that it was uncertain when the other party would be able to count them, so she added a time limit.
He wasn't narcissistic and wanted Mahiru to touch his stomach; he simply wanted to protect the girl like that.
"Thirty seconds?!"
Hear the words.
Mahiru's expression instantly turned panicked.
Thirty seconds isn't enough!
So stingy!
Complaining is one thing, but time doesn't stand still.
A mixture of shyness and determination flashed in Mahiru's eyes for a fleeting moment.
She pressed her lips tightly together, her slightly trembling hand slowly approaching the hem of her clothes. With a final effort, she closed her eyes tightly.
A few more seconds passed.
She opened one eye with trepidation.
After a quick glance, her eyes widened instantly.
Then, he quickly pulled up the hem, raised his eyes to look up at Su Qing, and shouted in a tone that was both excited and thrilled:
"Eight, eight yuan!"
“Great, correct answer.”
Su Qing's eyes, like scattered stars, were filled with the brilliance and gentleness of starlight.
Mahiru thought she must be hallucinating.
Otherwise, why would she see two moons at this moment?
One of them is round, hanging high in the night sky.
Everyone can see it, but it's out of reach.
The other round is fragmented, hidden in the boy's eyes.
But only she could see it, so it was right next to her.
Mahiru stared intently into Su Qing's pupils, as if she were trapped inside, without moving an inch.
A moment.
She even forgot to breathe, her mind filled with one thought:
If this moment could last forever, how wonderful that would be?
It wasn't a summer night with a sky full of stars, but she felt like there was a meteor shower tonight.
Mahiru thought.
She did say she was a "Su Qing fan" before, and that's true.
Because she deeply loved everything about him.
But at this moment.
She suddenly realized that her favorite feature was Su Qing's eyes.
The universe is vast and the stars are boundless.
Only about seven thousand lights could be seen with the naked eye.
But in the eyes of the one you love, there are countless dazzling galaxies flowing within.
How could one not show favoritism?
Suddenly.
Su Qing blinked, her eyes seeming to glow.
Mahiru thought again.
【Qing】is such a nice name.
The person who chose this name must be a genius, right?
Only when the night sky is clear can the stars twinkle and shine brightly.
No wonder when we were in elementary school, we always liked to write "The stars twinkle, like they are blinking" on blank composition paper.
It turns out that when Su Qing blinks, the stars hidden in his eyes light up.
As Mahiru pondered, her eyes curved into crescent shapes.
What she didn't know was that Su Qing also saw the moon.
It was only one round, right there in his arms.
"So, can this be considered a secret?"
"Yes, of course~" the girl laughed proudly, then said in a happy voice, "And...it's two secrets~"
......
......
Chapter 293 [Self] Shrine
?
The next day.
The second day of the school trip.
Originally, it was a group of four: Su Qing, Yui, Hikigaya, and Ayaka. But as they walked, they inexplicably became pairs of people.
Yasaka Shrine.
The vermilion torii gate stands out against the lush trees. As you walk slowly along the path paved with small pebbles, you are surrounded by well-trimmed shrubs and wildflowers peeking out from the side.
"Kyoto is actually quite interesting!"
Strolling along this path, Yui remarked with considerable emotion.
The city, full of shrines and temples, wasn't as boring as she had imagined before she came.
"As long as it's not boring."
Su Qing wanted to say that it was because it was your first time here and you were still feeling excited about it.
But after thinking about it, he decided not to spoil the girl's fun.
But he didn't notice that Yui secretly glanced at him and then gave him a sly smile.
Continue walking forward until you arrive at the shrine.
A beautiful young woman dressed as a shrine maiden greeted the two with a smile, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
They often take on the responsibility of helping tourists.
"Hmm... I'd like to buy some souvenirs to take home. Any recommendations?"
After thinking for a moment, Yui asked.
"If you don't know what to buy, how about getting an amulet?"
The priestess respectfully extended a hand, gesturing for the two to follow her forward.
"Want to take a look?"
Yui tilted her head and looked at Su Qing with a questioning gaze.
"Let's go together."
Su Qing nodded and did not refuse.
The two then followed the priestess to a secluded place.
"This is the one, sir."
The shrine maiden smiled and took out an amulet called "Kizuna".
Its ribbon is gold and tied into a beautiful cherry blossom knot.
According to her, this symbolizes the protection that the wearer's fortune in all aspects will bloom as brilliantly as cherry blossoms.
Cherry blossoms...?
Su Qing murmured softly to herself, her gaze shifting almost imperceptibly to the side, probably wanting to see that girl who bloomed like a cherry blossom.
But as soon as he made a move, Yui seemed to have anticipated it and looked at him with a smile.
"Hey, Xiaoqing, what do you think?"
"say what?"
Su Qing was somewhat flustered, but she hid it well.
