Mahiru nodded in agreement.
After all, the people mentioned on the other end were all relatives and friends, so it wasn't considered greedy.
"You could write something like 'You've always been with him,'" Yui suggested.
"No, thank you." Mahiru glanced at Su Qing; the boy was still writing and she wondered if he could hear them.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she deliberately spoke in a low voice, "I don't want to rely on prayer for that kind of thing."
"Oh, is that so?" Yui scratched her head, thinking that it was indeed the case. "Sorry, then I don't have any good suggestions."
"No, no, I think I should have thought of that."
With a smile, Mahiru wrote words of blessing for the three of them to be in good health on the wooden sign.
"Is this a return gift? You forgot to wish yourself well."
"Ah, it really is! We almost lost out! Waaah, I'm so touched, Mahiru-chan."
Upon hearing this, Yui was in a great mood.
"It's nothing." Mahiru shook her head, her gaze meeting Su Qing's.
"Is it finished?" he asked.
"Hmm... Have you finished writing? If you have, I'd like to see it..."
Mahiru's voice is so sweet and soft, it's hard to resist.
At least Yui finds it hard to believe that people who are clearly in a relationship would be so "polite".
No, it's more accurate to say that Mahiru respects Su Qing very much, which is why she did that.
really……
Mahiru is so cute!
"Well, let's see."
"I want to see it too! I want to see it too!" Yui said excitedly from the side.
She was genuinely curious about what someone like Xiaoqing, who seemed so unambitious, would write.
"Okay, let's go together."
Mahiru took the initiative to place Su Qing's wooden plaque in the middle, and the two women looked at it together.
May the years flow like water, without ripples.
The two women spoke in unison, reading each word aloud from the wooden sign.
"What does this mean?" Yui, who only had a vague understanding, decided to ask the two of them.
"Do you hope the future will be as uneventful as the present?" Mahiru asked without thinking for long.
"Yes, that's what I mean." Su Qing nodded.
"Huh? Xiaoqing sometimes seems so old-fashioned!" Yui lightly pinched her chin. "Would a normal sophomore write this kind of thing?"
She was joking; she had no idea if it would actually happen. She just wanted to make fun of Su Qing.
Surprisingly, Su Qing did not refute, but simply said softly:
"Really? I don't know much about this stuff; this is the first time I've thought about writing something like this..."
If it's too strange, I'll rewrite it.
"Hey, hey, I was just kidding! I think you wrote it very well, and besides, why would you listen to me?"
Yui quickly stopped her. Why was Xiaoqing being so obedient this time? It was a bit unbelievable!
"I also think that it would be wonderful if this ordinary life could continue forever."
So there's absolutely no need to rewrite it.
Mahiru smiled gently and returned the wooden plaque to Su Qing.
Hearing the two women say this, Su Qing decided not to give up the idea of rewriting it.
Blessings... He had never really thought of such a thing except when writing English essays.
But what's written on an exam paper is rarely genuine and doesn't represent anything true.
That's why he thought for a long time before finally writing down just a few words.
Fortunately... the effect shouldn't be too bad?
He laughed for no apparent reason, and said at the same time:
"I heard that the higher it is hung, the more effective it is. I'll hang it for you guys."
"Then I'll leave it to you. Be careful," Mahiru said.
"Me too, but let me think about where to put it..." Yui was caught in a dilemma.
"Aren't you going to put it with us?" Mahiru turned her head and looked at Yui to ask.
"Huh? Is that okay?" Yui was a little confused.
"The three of us came together, so of course we should put them together, right?"
Mahiru's words left Yui completely unable to find any logical flaws.
That makes so much sense!
Then let it go!
A gentle breeze blew, and the neatly arranged brown wooden signs reflected the warmth of the sunlight, colliding with each other in the clear light and making a crisp, melodious sound.
The three of them looked up for a while, but when they looked down, their eyes met at the same time, and they all burst into laughter.
Yes, if only life could continue like this forever.
No matter how many auspicious clouds you trample, no matter how many gods and demons descend upon the world bathed in blood, no matter how many divine soldiers and generals you defeat.
Nothing can compare to one sentence:
simple is the best.
……
Today wasn't a lucky day; no one was holding a wedding here. But Mahiru had only come here to stroll around anyway, so she wasn't discouraged.
On the contrary, Yui was still muttering her dissatisfaction as she left the shrine:
"Ugh! Why did I get three bad draws in a row?! Isn't this just bullying me?"
After strolling around the prayer hall for a while, the three of them went to draw lots.
Unexpectedly, Yui kept drawing a bunch of unlucky numbers. It was only because Su Qing couldn't bear to see her wasting money that he finally stopped on the fourth draw when the girl, who was about to lose her temper, drew a lucky number.
No wonder Yui got angry.
Typically, these kinds of tourist attractions, except to rip off tourists who seem to be superstitious, don't put too many evil spirits inside.
After all, everyone came here to have a good time, but ended up spending money to draw a bad one.
If you smoke less, it's fine, but everyone's so fierce. Who will come to your place in the future?
He's paying money to bring bad luck, and he'll definitely give you rave reviews!
So, there's no such thing as being aloof and detached from worldly affairs; tourist attractions also need to make a living.
"Okay, it's alright. They all drew minor bad luck numbers, but we'll draw auspicious numbers for you in the end, so it's all balanced out and there's still some left over."
Seeing that Yui was still struggling with her decision, Mahiru gently comforted her.
"Thank you, Mahiru-chan. It's not that I mind, I'm just a little tipsy."
"Are we done shopping? Shall we go back?" Yui asked.
"It's a hassle to go back and cook after coming out, so we'll eat out. What about you? Do you want to come with us?"
Su Qing glanced at Mahiru first, then asked.
Today was just Mahiru's way of making up for leaving halfway through shopping with Yui the other day, so having dinner together is nothing special.
"I'll eat out, but I didn't bring much money with me when I went out..."
Yui was a little embarrassed.
"It's like a family-run restaurant, great value for money, and the food is pretty good. Want to come?"
Mahiru didn't say anything, but Yui could tell from the way the other person's eyes were expecting her to come.
"A family restaurant? That's no problem. I'll call my mom first and let her know."
"Okay, we'll wait for you."
As expected, Mahiru wore a knowing smile.
Girls don't actually mind eating with their good friends.
……
After quickly sending a message to Yui Hama Kana, Yui looked up and saw Su Qing and Mahiru walking slowly not far away, clearly waiting for her on purpose.
However, she did not chase after him immediately, but instead chose to walk up slowly.
"That's strange, why do I feel like someone's watching me all day?"
Suddenly, Yui felt a chill. She instinctively looked around, but didn't see anyone suspicious.
In addition, Meiji Shrine always attracts a lot of people, so Yui just thought she was being restless and overly sensitive, and didn't pay much attention to it.
……
Not far away, a man dressed in plain clothes with an unfriendly expression took out a cell phone, opened e, and was contacting someone, it was unclear.
All I know is that the most recent chat log is a side profile photo of Su Qing.
"Hey boss, isn't this the guy we need to teach a lesson to?"
The man spoke in a defiant voice.
"Yes, it's this kid. Big Brother said to punish him a little. You should know what to do, right?"
A calm voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Don't worry! I'll handle things perfectly!"
"Yes, but be careful not to make things too big."
"Oh, I know, just give them a little punishment!"
The person on the other end of the phone felt something was wrong, but couldn't quite put their finger on it. However, it didn't matter; as long as no one died, they could do whatever they wanted.
"Alright, I'm busy right now. Send me a photo when you're done so I can report back to my brother."
"Yes, r!"
After hanging up the phone, the man watched Su Qing and the two strikingly beautiful girls beside her as they walked away, his gaze gradually turning fierce.
Damn it, why am I limited to being someone else's lackey while you get to date two girls?
What a bullshit world! So what if he's a little handsome?
Haha, let's see if you can still pick up girls now that your face is ruined.
In a dark corner, a cold glint suddenly appeared, chilling and twisted.
……
"Oh, you mean Xiaoqing?"
"Ok?"
Hearing Yui's voice, Su Qing turned around in confusion, "Speak."
"Meiji Shrine isn't the warmest place in Tokyo, is it? I've seen everyone say Tokyo Skytree is. Are you trying to fool me again?"
The sun was unusually warm today, and Yui thought it was because she was at Meiji Shrine.
After all, Xiaoqing said this is the warmest place in Tokyo.
I was bored and had nothing to do, so I searched online.
Wow, everyone's unanimously saying that the warmest place in Tokyo is Tokyo Skytree!
