Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

"Eat first." After Keiko left, Su Qing calmly looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka and reminded her to eat her noodles.

"That's true, I'm starving." Hiratsuka Shizuka snapped out of her daze, decided to put aside her doubts about the amount of noodles for the time being, and began to enjoy the delicious ramen.

Just after Su Qing said that, Hiratsuka Shizuka's stomach also started to rumble with hunger pangs.

The teaching profession may seem easy—you just teach classes and have a winter and summer vacation a year—but in reality, it's full of all sorts of troublesome and trivial matters.

After a busy day, Hiratsuka Shizuka was already quite hungry when she got off work.

Now that my attention is back on track, that feeling is suddenly much stronger.

She didn't care about her image at all; she wasn't the ladylike type to begin with. She devoured the freshly made ramen with gusto.

It was indeed Hiratsuka Shizuka's favorite.

The soup gleamed with an enticing sheen, the noodles were thin and springy, soaking up the rich broth. A few tender green scallions and cilantro were garnished, releasing a refreshing aroma.

On top of that, there are an astonishing number of char siu pork chunks, sprinkled with a few golden sesame seeds, adding an enticing touch to the overall dish.

Slurp~ Slurp~

There's a saying that you can tell if a bowl of noodles is good or not just by taking a sip of the broth.

But Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't care about anything else right now. Whether it was soup, noodles, or other condiments, she picked up the big bowl and slurped it down.

Slurp~ Slurp~

"It's obvious that the teacher really likes this ramen."

Seeing this, Su Qing also joked.

"Stop nagging. You should eat too. Students are under a lot of pressure, so eat more to replenish your nutrition." In the past, Hiratsuka Shizuka only ate like this by herself, but she forgot that Su Qing was right across from her.

How could she not understand the hidden meaning in Su Qing's words?

Never seen anyone eat noodles like this before, huh? This is how you make them taste so good!

After muttering something to herself, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't forget to remind him aloud:

"Just eat as much as you want! Don't forget, it's on me today!"

"Understood." Su Qing nodded helplessly.

He usually has little desire or urge to eat, but he couldn't refuse such hospitality and had no choice but to agree.

I was hoping to save room for Mahiru's dinner when I got back...

Just as Su Qing was thinking this, the feedback from his taste buds made his pupils shrink.

good to eat……

This was the third thing he found delicious, besides Mahiru's cooking and Yui's cookies.

Although it was far inferior to the previous two, it truly exceeded Su Qing's expectations.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was busy cooking her own meal and didn't notice the subtle changes in Su Qing's expression.

After eating only half a bowl of noodles and feeling a bit better, she prepared to continue their previous conversation:

"You... uh, where were we?"

After eating half a bowl of ramen, you lose not only the feeling of hunger, but also fragments of memory from before you ate it.

"The Yukinoshita family," Su Qing reminded her after taking a sip of soup.

"Oh, right." Hiratsuka Shizuka snapped out of her reverie and continued probing, "You seem quite interested in the Yukinoshita family. What, is there something on your mind?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka's question was rather direct, almost explicitly asking Su Qing if she wanted to marry into the family.

It's normal for her to have such thoughts.

Teachers have the right to view student files. On her first day at Soubu High School, Su Qing had already handed her file to Hiratsuka Shizuka, so Shizuka naturally knew about Su Qing's background.

Although there isn't much useful information, the most obvious and eye-catching thing in the file is probably the section for parents, which is uniformly marked as "None".

Thinking of this, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and a hint of sympathy inevitably crept into her gaze as she looked at the boy.

Growing from an orphanage to becoming the top school in the three schools must have required unimaginable effort from ordinary people.

From an objective economic perspective, compared to the exploited life of a working-class person, marrying into a family is undoubtedly a choice many people would rather have, and it is also one of the fastest ways to cross social classes.

However, if possible, she still didn't want the other party to choose the Yukinoshita family.

The thought of the actual power holder in Yukinoshita gave Hiratsuka Shizuka a headache.

“I do have some ideas.” After slurping a few mouthfuls of noodles, Su Qing continued, “I heard… Yukinoshita Haruno’s mother was already the head of the Yukinoshita family before she got married?”

"Yes, that's true." It's no secret, just an open secret. Hiratsuka Shizuko had some doubts, but she nodded nonetheless.

"And what about her husband? I heard he's not from the Yukinoshita family."

“I’m not very clear on the specific details, but it’s true that he married into the family.”

"I see. However, I heard that while serving as a member of the Chiba Prefectural Assembly, he is also the chairman of a leading local construction company. Moreover, although he is the nominal head of the family, the actual power is in the hands of his wife."

Teacher, have you heard of this before?

Su Qing spoke slowly, as if it were just something she mentioned casually during a chat.

Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned slightly.

What did Su Qing mean by asking that question?

……

Chapter 184 Go, bring the wine~

Throughout history, all normal countries with sound systems have...

It is almost a global consensus that those in power should not engage in business, and those in business should not engage in politics.

No one will question your determination and vows on day one.

But life is an extremely long marathon.

As time goes by, money will be laid bare before you.

Are you able to control yourself?

When passion fades, only greed remains.

When faith is lost, only self-interest remains.

When one loses sight of their true self, only evil thoughts arise.

You just realized that...

Human nature cannot stand the test.

"Why did you suddenly ask about this?" Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned even more deeply.

At first, she thought that the other party was paying attention to Yukino Yukinoshita and her family because they were planning for her to marry into the family, given Su Qing's appearance and grades, his extremely clean background, and his special identity as a mainland Chinese.

Objectively speaking, as long as he can win the heart of Yukinoshita Haruno, who is the heir to the family, the marriage is practically a sure thing.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

If it's just about marrying into the family, why pay so much attention to Yukinoshita Haruno's father?

Or is it that... the other party is observing the resources and support the man will receive after he marries into the family?

Hiratsuka Shizuka felt increasingly uneasy. Did Su Qing have some other intentions? She looked at Su Qing, her eyes filled with doubt and worry.

"I saw it on a trending topic by chance, and out of curiosity, I did some research." Su Qing smiled, trying to ease the tension. He knew his question had aroused Hiratsuka Shizuka's suspicion, but he didn't care.

"..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka remained silent for a moment, her expression growing increasingly complex. She sighed softly, her tone revealing a hint of helplessness and worry:

"This matter is actually quite complicated, you don't need to know so much about it."

Upon hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, Su Qing keenly sensed that she seemed to know something about this matter.

He stared intently into Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes and pressed, "It's complicated? Does that mean you, teacher, have a general understanding of the situation?"

Faced with Su Qing's persistent questioning, Hiratsuka Shizuka scratched her hair in frustration, looking quite helpless.

She frowned and said with a hint of reproach:

"Why are you so stubborn, child? As a student, why do you want to investigate these things? It has nothing to do with your studies and may even cause you unnecessary trouble."

Su Qing remained unmoved, her innocent expression unchanged.

"As I've already said, it was purely out of curiosity."

Hiratsuka Shizuka made one last attempt to dissuade Su Qing, sternly warning him:

"Curiosity can sometimes lead to danger, just like the old saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. You're smart enough to understand that."

However, Su Qing simply gazed at her calmly.

When Hiratsuka Shizuka met those deep black eyes, she was momentarily stunned.

We are all made of flesh and blood, with one head and one pair of eyes.

But some people seem to be favored by the Creator, having a few extra strokes carved into the most radiant parts of humanity, so that the eyes of a young person are so captivating.

This is probably what... temperament is?

Even if Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't understand where this aura came from, she could only attribute it to this.

Hiratsuka Shizuka finally gave in and, while the ramen was still warm, she devoured it once again.

Su Qing waited patiently across from Hiratsuka Shizuka for her meal, without making a sound to disturb her.

"Aunt Huizi, two bottles of beer, please!"

As if she had just eaten her fill, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.

"What are you drinking!"

Not far away, Aunt Huizi's exasperated voice could be heard.

Honestly, it took so long to snag such a handsome young man, and he just started drinking in front of everyone. Isn't he just trying to scare them away?

"Haha..." Hiratsuka Shizuka could only laugh awkwardly twice after being rejected in front of the students.

She probably knew why Aunt Huizi was unwilling to give her alcohol. It was simply because she was worried that she might say something inappropriate while drunk, ruining her image in front of the students.

"Honestly, I'm not drinking much, can't I even have a few sips?" Hiratsuka Shizuka muttered under her breath.

She always respected Aunt Huizi, so naturally she dared not disobey her.

But work is tiring enough, how can I relax properly without having a drink after get off work?

Suddenly, her gaze shifted and landed on Su Qing directly in front of her.

As if she had thought of a bad idea, Hiratsuka Shizuka gave a "hehehe" laugh.

"Are you asking me to get some wine from Ms. Keiko?" Su Qing asked before Hiratsuka Shizuka could.

“Communicating with smart people is so simple!” Hiratsuka Shizuka snapped her fingers, that was exactly what she meant.

Aunt Huizi doesn't let me drink, mostly because she's worried that I'll say something inappropriate if I drink too much.

But if Su Qing takes it now, the situation changes completely.

Knowing Aunt Huizi as she did, she was sure the other woman would smile with satisfaction and then bring out some good wine…

Hehehe...

"Hmm?" Just as Hiratsuka Shizuka was lost in her fantasies, her gaze was suddenly drawn to a blank sheet of paper.

"You're drooling, wipe it off first," Su Qing said considerately as she stood up.

"Oh... thank you." Hiratsuka Shizuka was still in shock. Had she really drooled just now?

And this happened in front of his own students!?

"I can get you the wine, but what's in it for me?" Su Qing asked with a smile after Hiratsuka Shizuka took the tissue.

"I will tell you as much as I know about it." Hiratsuka Shizuka had already made up her mind.

It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married.

Actually, if you think about it on a smaller scale, it's not a big deal.

Even if the other party finds out, what can they do?
