This expectation is unavoidable.
no way.
When you like someone, you can't help but have expectations.
Even anticipation itself is a form of happiness.
"Okay, then you can look forward to it."
Su Qing's gaze softened, thinking that day wouldn't come too late.
He had to give the girl a truly unforgettable birthday.
After a while.
Mahiru suddenly reached out and poked Su Qing's face. When Su Qing turned around to look at her, she found that the girl's fingertips were twirling around the ends of her hair that were hanging down in front of her chest.
"You mean... you can't tell me what you bought tonight?"
Mahiru said casually.
But it's clear that she's a bit conflicted about this issue.
No, what she's struggling with isn't what Su Qing should buy, but something else entirely!
So the girl thought for a moment, glanced at Su Qing out of the corner of her eye, and whispered:
"I'm still a little jealous when you go out alone with other girls."
Actually, I can go with you to buy whatever you want! I just won't watch what you buy.
"Hmm, not really, because if you go there, it will be easy for you to guess what I'm buying."
"Then why didn't you just tell me what you were going to do tonight?"
"I did want to give you a surprise, but I didn't want to deceive or hide anything in exchange for that surprise."
So... please wait patiently for a while.
Furthermore, I assure you that I have not engaged in any intimate behavior with Yukinoshita that goes beyond friendship.
Mahiru nodded slightly, it was unclear whether she had taken it in or not.
But after only a short while, she tugged at Su Qing's hand again, and said in a childlike, coquettish tone:
"No, even if you say that, I'll still be a little unhappy."
"Then I'll do whatever you say, as long as you're happy."
Su Qing could tell that Mahiru had a request, so she spoke up.
"Hmm~~"
Mahiru's eyes darted around, then she said with a smile:
"Come downstairs with me to play in the snow!"
"This point?"
Su Qing was surprised.
"Can't I? As long as I'm happy, that's all that matters."
Mahiru stared at Su Qing with feigned displeasure, as if questioning the credibility of his words.
Be careful, or I might deduct your credibility points from my heart!
"I was just thinking you seemed to have taken a shower. If you don't mind, then let's go. But please change your clothes first and put on a coat."
Su Qing gave him a few words of advice, still feeling uneasy.
Playing in the snow is fine, but catching a cold is not.
"No need for you to trouble yourself~" Mahiru skipped to her feet, a sly glint flashing in her eyes.
"But don't think that will make me happy."
"Okay, I'm all in, I'll join you for a snowball fight and to build a snowman."
"Hey~ those sound pretty good too, but I'm going to wear your coat downstairs to play and get your clothes dirty! Hehe."
Mahiru grinned mischievously, like a little devil.
Bathed in warm light, they look adorable.
"Then you're really bad, but... whatever makes you happy."
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go, let's go," Mahiru said impatiently.
But that was actually an expectation.
The girl took the boy's hand and walked towards the door, presumably intending to go back and change her clothes.
Su Qing thought for a moment, then pulled the girl into her room and draped her coat over her shoulders.
After all, it's quite cold outside.
Mahiru didn't resist; she simply let Su Qing put the coat on her like she was a dress-up doll.
Upon entering the foyer and opening the door, the temperature difference between the indoors and outdoors intensified, along with the snowy evening breeze.
However, Mahiru wasn't cold because she was protected by her boyfriend's jacket.
Suddenly, Mahiru turned around, and the snow outside reflected in her eyes, turning her sly smile into scattered silver.
"It's snowing tonight, it's so beautiful outside."
So I was waiting for you at your house, actually I was waiting for you to watch the snow together! Hehe!

Chapter 347 We Are All Cowards (Part 1)
?
Apartment downstairs.
"It really is a huge item..."
The white mist from her breath wafted through the caramel-colored tassels of her cashmere scarf as Mahiru looked down at the hem of her garment that reached mid-thigh.
Although I had already experienced Su Qing's coat before, this was the first time I had worn it properly like this.
A dark gray duffle coat was loosely draped over Mahiru's slender shoulders.
The inner lining is a beige turtleneck sweater, which looks exceptionally soft against the backdrop of the oversized coat.
The lower half was originally a combination of a midi skirt and thick velvet tights, but it was almost invisible because of the excessively long hem.
"Hey hey hey~"
The excessively long sleeves hung down to about fifteen centimeters from her fingertips, like a shrine maiden's sleeves, and Mahiru, instead of adjusting them, childlikely swung the cuffs up and down.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Mahiru skipped over to Su Qing.
"Qingjun, Qingjun, I'm going to perform a magic trick for you!"
"What kind of magic trick?" Su Qing asked curiously.
"Look, the cuffs are empty, there's nothing there, right?"
Mahiru gently flicked her empty sleeves and said earnestly.
"Are you trying to conjure up some pigeons?" Su Qing asked.
"No, no, no, it's much better than a pigeon!"
Mahiru shook her head, then adopted a very serious expression, her beautiful eyes focused intently:
"Watch closely, and don't blink!"
Su Qing nodded.
Then, Mahiru appeared to be performing a ritual, waving her sleeves up and down at a certain frequency.
After some time passes.
Nothing happened.
"It's gotten better?"
Su Qing asked in surprise.
What did this conjure up?
Air?
"It's better now! But you have to reach in and feel it."
Masahiro said this with an air of seriousness.
"How scary! What if I reach in and pull out a snake?"
Su Qing joked.
He already had a general idea of what Mahiru's magic was all about.
"Stop arguing, and you won't get any of those weird things!"
Dissatisfied, Mahiru launched a long-sleeved attack, successfully dealing 0 damage to Su Qing.
Su Qing lowered her head, chuckled to herself, and then reached in with one hand.
"You have to use both hands, otherwise the magic won't work!" Mahiru emphasized.
"A magic with very strict conditions."
Su Qing casually complained, and her hands quickly and gradually went deeper, until they touched something soft.
The moment they made contact, that softness actually wrapped tightly around Su Qing's ten fingers like a snake.
Seeing this, Mahiru laughed as if her plan had succeeded, her sweet and innocent voice melting into the snow.
"Hehe, not just one snake, but ten! Now the snakes are going to eat you up!"
"Shouldn't I be the one eating you? I'm the big snake, and you're the little snake. If the big snake eats the little snake, the little snake will have nothing to eat."
Su Qing smiled slightly, gently squeezed the girl's hand with her fingers, and then held it even tighter.
"Oh...that makes a lot of sense?" Mahiru tilted her head. "Then, you can eat the little snake..."
As she spoke, Mahiru suddenly closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and slightly tiptoed, looking completely at someone to be picked.
However, before Su Qing could bend down to kiss her, the girl lost her balance and stumbled into his faintly fragrant embrace.
"What's the little snake doing? Trying to scam me?"
Su Qing chuckled. Zhen Zhou glanced up when she heard the laughter, then quickly lowered her gaze and whispered something.
"Ugh—how embarrassing, that doesn't count. You should forget about it..."
Her boyfriend's body heat, carrying that delicate fragrance, turned the falling snowflakes into a blush on the tips of her ears.
"No way," Su Qing said with a smile. "I don't think it's shameful."
"It's not you, of course you don't feel ashamed!"
"It's a somber day," Mahiru said wistfully.
I wanted to kiss my boyfriend, but I lost my balance because of my coat. How embarrassing would that be if I told anyone!
Will Su Qing think she's an idiot...?
I'm so annoyed and unhappy.
"It's really not shameful."
Su Qing withdrew his hand and grasped her wrist, which was tucked into her sleeve.
The calloused fingertips moved inch by inch along the silk lining until they found the correct fold line at the elbow.
Mahiru remained motionless, letting the other person fold up her sleeves.
"You were so cute just now, I think I'll always remember it."
In the darkness of night, the boy's eyelashes were adorned with fine snowflakes.
