Chapter 36: A Leisurely Afternoon
"It's really laid-back~"
Xu Qingsheng, who was lying under the tree squinting in the sun, slowly opened his eyes.
"It's Asuna." Seeing the person coming clearly, Xu Qingsheng worked hard to get up and leaned against the tree.
"It's really treacherous, one person left Keita and them, and ended up running here to be lazy!"
Asuna said Xu Qingsheng, but she ran to the other side of the tree, sat down, leaned against the trunk, and enjoyed her face: "It's really comfortable~"
"Huh? It turns out that you also sneaked out and was lazy? Xu Qingsheng was startled, thinking that Asuna came out to arrest him back, but Asuna also ran out to be lazy?
"How is that possible! I obviously came out to look for you to go back, but I just didn't find it~" Asuna smiled playfully. Come out and be lazy? How could it be! I'm obviously looking for Xu Qingsheng who sneaked out. Well, that's it!
"It's you, running out to bask in the sun alone? There's no right reason to say it~"
"Well, don't say that. I only think about it once in a while, I don't have to level up and have a leisurely time. ”
(A salted fish: I also occasionally want to not update, take a break.)
Audience: You're afraid you only want to update once in a while, right?! )
"Poof~" Asuna couldn't help laughing: "It's strange to believe you, you, you just want to be lazy, and you have to make excuses." ”
Xu Qingsheng was not angry, and said with a smile: "You are not the same, you want to find an opportunity to be lazy." ”
"I'm not lazy! I'm doing ~right~thing~"
The corners of Xu Qingsheng's mouth twitched: "So your business is to continue to catch me and run out to bask in the sun." ”
"Huh?"
"No, no, no, please keep doing your business!"
Seeing that Asuna's tone was not good, Xu Qingsheng's desire to survive was still very strong.
Touch the fish or something, then let's go together.
The afternoon sun is always warm on your body, and you can't help but want to sleep.
"Asuna?"
Xu Qingsheng whispered, but did not respond.
Turning her head, it turned out that Asuna didn't know when, her body fell to the ground, and she fell asleep.
"Really, this kind of place dares to fall asleep."
After complaining in a whisper, Xu Qingsheng still came to Asuna's side, sat down with his back against the tree, and said that Asuna's head rested on his lap.
Looking at Asuna's delicate face up close, Xu Qingsheng was a little confused.
He was incredibly sure that he had a crush on Asuna. Whether it was reading the original book before crossing over, or crossing into this world, the strong and distressing girl in front of her was deeply attracted to Xu Qingsheng.
I really want to pursue you at all costs! Xu Qingsheng looked up at the sky and thought helplessly.
Yes, helpless.
It's not that I can't, I don't dare, I don't want to. Because there are more important things waiting for him.
Even after a long time has passed in SAO, Xu Qingsheng still keeps in mind his purpose - to save the main world and return the derivative world to the right track.
Such an arduous mission is just an excuse for Xu Qingsheng.
The real reason is uncertainty.
He wasn't sure what would happen if he left the world of swords.
Will you be coming back?
Is Asuna still the same Asuna he knew?
Too much uncertainty anymore.
So he didn't dare, he didn't dare to do what he wanted to do by his own temperament, and be with the person he liked. No matter how much love you have, you have to keep it in your heart.
All I can do now is look at Asuna's sleeping side face and silently guard it.
Hand, raised, and lowered. Lifted again, or put down.
After all, he couldn't muster up the courage to caress that delicate face.
That's it.
A silent sigh. Even if you have figured it out for a long time, you will still be thrilled to be alone with Asuna up close.
That's it, it's good. After all, Asuna's official CP is Kirito, so why bother to break them up?
In this way, the afternoon slipped silently in Asuna's sleep.
"Ha~ah~" Asuna yawned and slowly opened her eyes.
"Huh, huh? Eh!! When Asuna found herself pillowing Xu Qingsheng's thigh, her face turned red and jumped up quickly.
"Don't get excited, don't get excited!" Xu Qingsheng hurriedly comforted Asuna: "I saw that you fell asleep just now, and I was afraid that you would sleep too hard, so I used it as a pillow for you." ”
Although selfish, the words should be said more beautifully.
Hearing Xu Qingsheng say this, Asuna also calmed down.
After all, it's a game, and there's nothing to do, and falling asleep in front of Xu Qingsheng can be regarded as a kind of trust in my heart. The previous panic was more of a sign of shyness.
"Thanks, thanks......" Asuna whispered.
Although it is a little embarrassing, after all, Xu Qingsheng is also kind, isn't he? You can't blame him, can you?
"Well, it's not too early, isn't it time to go back?"
Hearing Xu Qingsheng say that he wanted to go back, Asuna remembered the purpose of coming out this time - to find Xu Qingsheng to go back.
"Hmmm......"
The two returned to the small building that the guild had bought, and found that everyone else had returned.
"Where did you two go!!
As soon as you enter the door, you see Kirito with a resentful face, and his roar.
"Leveling up!" Asuna and Xu Qingsheng said in unison.
Now it was Kirito's turn to wonder: "Huh? You two? Is it ......?"
Xu Qingsheng was a little weak-hearted, and Asuna also bowed her head and said nothing.
"Didn't you two meet? Did you come across it when you came back? ”
"That's right!" "That's it!" Both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Xu Qingsheng looked at Kirito with a grateful face. Good brother, you can think of such a good reason!
However, Kirito still looked at Xu Qingsheng with suspicious eyes: "I said, since it's leveling, why don't you come back with everyone?" I guess I'm hiding and sleeping! "Don't blame Kirito for being resentful, originally he only needed to take one person to level up, but because Xu Qingsheng secretly ran away, Asuna went to look for it and didn't come back, so he had to take Qitai and the five of them to level up, and the hard work was just a matter of looking at his eyes.
Hearing this, Asuna's face flushed slightly, and her head hung lower.
"Great God!" Qitai on the other side looked at Xu Qingsheng with a resentful expression. Today it was his turn to practice with Xu Qingsheng, but Xu Qingsheng ran away alone and missed another opportunity to get along with the great god.
Looking at Qi Tai's resentful little eyes, Xu Qingsheng sweated wildly: I was afraid of you before I ran away!
Fortunately, he hid far away, his little face was pale, and he didn't say a word. Kirito didn't notice Asuna's anomaly, but she did.
Also a girl, she understands what Asuna's performance means. But that's what makes her feel bad.
But what can she do?
Secretly made a decision, and Yuki's eyes dimmed even more.
