Mahiru didn't actually know Su Qing's specific biology score, but her near-perfect score in the combined science subjects spoke for itself.
"Then, I'll feel free to ask you for help if I don't understand anything in the future." Mahiru didn't expect such a pleasant surprise, since Su Qing herself had said it!
"Why are you so polite?"
"What I meant... was 'please enjoy yourself'." Worried that Su Qing might try to renege on her promise, Mahiru emphasized her words again.
"I heard you. Go ahead and ask without hesitation."
"Hehe, okay."
Mahiru nodded in satisfaction, then put away the hairdryer, saying, "It's completely dry now."
"I don't think there's much difference." After winding up the hair dryer cord, feeling a little uncomfortable in her vision, Su Qing brushed the stray hairs from her forehead upwards.
"Well--"
"What's wrong?" Su Qing asked with concern, noticing Mahiru's shy voice.
"I just wanted to ask you, do you often do this kind of thing in front of other girls?"
"What behavior?" Su Qing was still not quite sure.
"Like, like this." Mahiru imitated Su Qing's hair-flipping motion, but her coy movements made her look even cuter.
"Why do something like this if you have nothing better to do?" Su Qing was both amused and exasperated. It wasn't like a peacock in heat displaying its plumage.
It's probably only boys in their rebellious teenage years who would deliberately do something like flipping their hair, thinking it's cool.
"I felt something was off just now, so I adjusted it," Su Qing explained.
"That's good." Mahiru breathed a sigh of relief, then, under Su Qing's questioning gaze, blushed and whispered:
"That's so cool... Please don't do it for other girls."
There are no easy tips for dating, but please remember these:
When you're truly in love, not in a fast-food style relationship.
Even the tips of that person's fingers had a beautiful sheen.
On another note.
The word "tip" can also refer to the concept of "fingertip".

Chapter 196 Breakfast is a real-day version of soy milk
"Handsome?"
Su Qing was puzzled and asked curiously.
"That's just a very ordinary behavior, isn't it? I don't quite understand. Could you explain it in more detail?"
"Could you elaborate?"
"Mm." Su Qing nodded, confirming once again.
Mahiru didn't expect Su Qing to be so serious, but when asked to explain specifically what made him handsome, she really couldn't think of anything right away.
After all, who can truly understand matters of the heart?
On a noisy summer day, a girl in a white dress simply twirled around and smiled, easily making people fall in love.
Perhaps that person also found the girl's ordinary actions too sexy.
The so-called:
Love reflects beauty in the depths of the river; beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Every move she makes exudes elegance, and her heart and eyes are filled with tenderness.
It's probably somewhat related.
Honestly, Su Qing just wanted to tease her!
Mahiru couldn't help but harbor conspiracy theories.
However, noticing the unmistakable blank look in Su Qing's eyes, Mahiru could only lower her eyes and awkwardly say:
"It's...it's wet, it looks cool and sexy..."
Mahiru didn't know what she was feeling when she said those words; all she could feel was that her cheeks were burning hot.
It's all the hair dryer's fault!
The wind kept blowing on her face, which is why her face is so hot now!
"And...and it's like it's tempting me..."
Mahiru, as if possessed, added another sentence, but by the time she noticed it, it was too late.
Waaah—what did I even say...?
What a shame!
Mahiru is now completely unable to look at Su Qing's face. What will his reaction be?
Because her hair was wet, she felt that the other person was trying to seduce her or something.
Su Qing must be laughing at my naivety again!
However... she was also ridiculed by Su Qing quite a bit during this time.
Never mind, she's already said it anyway.
"Then you can't go to places like swimming pools?"
Su Qing asked a question that Zhen Zhou hadn't expected.
"Hey, what does that mean?"
Mahiru's thought process was somewhat short-circuited by the hot air from the hairdryer, and it was clear that it hadn't been reconnected yet.
“Swimming pool, men, water,” Su Qing slowly uttered.
As each word slipped into Mahiru's ears from the awkward atmosphere, it acted like a stimulant, instantly activating her brain.
"No, it's not what you think!"
Mahiru's clear yet slightly panicked voice suddenly rang out. Her beautiful face flushed slightly from excessive tension, and even her captivating eyes, as clear as autumn water, revealed a hint of panic.
At the same time, her petite body reacted unconsciously and uncontrollably due to the intense fluctuations in her emotions.
She involuntarily took a step forward, and since she was already not far from Su Qing, she was now almost pressed tightly against Su Qing.
"I only feel like you're seducing me when I see you wet, I don't feel that way when I look at others... But I haven't looked at anyone else, because swimming isn't an elective at my school... Ahhh, anyway, it's not what you think!"
Mahiru spewed out a lot of words in one breath, like a firecracker. Although her logical expression was not clear, Su Qing still roughly understood what Mahiru meant.
"I understand."
"Do you really understand?" Mahiru moved closer to Su Qing once again.
"I really understand. Anyway, I'm special, right?" Su Qing sighed helplessly. If she didn't stop the other person soon, their faces would probably come into close contact.
Fortunately, after observing Su Qing's expression, Mahiru was relieved to find that the other party truly understood.
"You just understand."
"Speaking of which, what's this on the table?"
No longer dwelling on that question, Su Qing now had something more to be curious about.
While Mahiru was blow-drying his hair, he noticed the sandwiches and soy milk on the table.
Now it seems that Mahiru may have been holding these things in her hands from the beginning. So, did the other person come so early today just to prepare these for her?
"I made this especially for you this morning... Try it while it's hot," Mahiru said softly, tucking her hair back.
Su Qing didn't mince words. Given their current relationship, having breakfast together was perfectly acceptable.
Not to mention that Mahiru made it herself.
"The taste is as delicious as ever." After tasting a few more bites of the sandwich and soy milk, Su Qing felt that Mahiru's cooking skills were consistently excellent.
"But why did you suddenly think of doing this?"
"Can you even make your own breakfast?" Mahiru's tone was tinged with exasperation. "And you seem to go for a morning run every day, right? If you don't eat properly to get energy, what are you going to do when you're hungry after a long day of class?"
"I always buy milk and bread on my way home from school..."
Su Qing awkwardly touched his face. Was Mahiru dissing him for not being able to cook?
What a wonderful feeling.
But putting aside whether he can cook or not, he also needs to have the time.
"Eat while walking?" Mahiru frowned angrily and questioned him with dissatisfaction.
“Sometimes I’ll wait until school to eat.” Su Qing was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
"That's really bad for your stomach, don't you know?"
Mahiru first leaned forward, took out a tissue to wipe the crumbs from his mouth, and then questioned him.
"Well... but what I really wanted to ask was why you suddenly started making soy milk."
Su Qing did not resist and let Mahiru wipe her mouth, then began to change the subject.
Although the island has returned to the mainland, the local customs and traditions remain the same.
People on the island can't accept things like soy milk and fried dough sticks, especially the former, which has many brands of soy milk as a substitute.
That's why Su Qing was surprised when Majutsu produced a steaming bowl of soy milk like Doraemon.
"I recently bought a soy milk maker online, and it arrived yesterday, so I'm trying it out today..."
"Then wouldn't I become your guinea pig again?" Su Qing said half-jokingly, and then finished the last bit of soy milk.
Sweet and warm.
In conclusion: Delicious!
"Don't worry, I'll try my best to pick out some edible-looking test subjects for you to eat." Mahiru covered her mouth lightly, revealing a malicious laugh, which also carried a hint of slyness.
"Well, I was lucky enough to get a successful sample on my first try." After tidying up the dishes, Su Qing looked at Mahiru helplessly.
Mahiru was probably hiding it from him again. Based on his understanding, Mahiru would only bring it to him for breakfast after she was sure of the outcome.
And indeed, Su Qing's prediction came true.
Since Aunt Xiaoxue hadn't taught her how to make delicious soy milk, Mahiru started researching how to use a soy milk maker last night.
In addition, she learned some techniques from online tutorial bloggers, which led to Su Qing's delicious bowl of soy milk today.
Chapter 197 Because it's Su Qing
However... if she had more time, she could have made an even more delicious and unique soy milk!
Don't underestimate a mere cup of soy milk.
Just like students will never understand why the cafeteria makes perfectly good white rice taste so bad.
There's a huge amount of knowledge involved in cooking!
Moreover, as Su Qing's personal cook, and with her own love for cooking, Mahiru now wants to do even the simplest cup of soy milk better.
"Um...would you like to eat something like fried dough sticks?" Mahiru suddenly asked.
"Fried dough sticks? They're alright." Su Qing said casually, then, as if understanding something, asked in return:
"You're not thinking of making your own fried dough sticks, are you?"
You can indeed make fried dough sticks at home.
But in mainland China, no one would usually bother to do it, since something that costs one yuan isn't really worth the effort.
"Yes. It seems like we don't sell things like fried dough sticks and soy milk around here," Mahiru explained.
“Dietary habits vary from place to place, and people here probably won’t be able to accept it for a while,” Su Qing smiled, seemingly unconcerned.
"That's true. But there might still be some inconveniences, right?"
"I'm actually very easygoing..."
Su Qing's thoughts have always been simple: as long as she has food to eat, that's enough.
