Chapter 105, Ordinary Daily Life
Hearing Ling's question, Zhuo thought about it.

"…Now, it's okay. You're a great person, both as a friend and a breeder."

Zhuo glanced at the oversized steak on the side table and added, "Excellent!"

"Is this considered a mission progress investigation?" Zhuo asked again.

He did not forget why Zero had taken care of him from the very beginning.

Friendship is friendship, business is business.

A man can be decadent, frustrated, or even a bastard... but he cannot confuse rationality with emotion.

"...So be it."

Zero kept his eyes fixed forward and did not give a clear answer.

No expression.

"What about me, me?"

Utsunomiya Shuo stared with curious eyes for confirmation.

He also wanted to know what Zero thought of him... Of course it had nothing to do with love.

It's just that he has received too much care from her during this period of time. If this is a burden for Zero, then getting along with her in the future might become a little troublesome.

So I care a lot.

When the vehicle reached the intersection, the supercar slowed down and stopped on the side of the road. It was very conspicuous and attracted the attention of passers-by, who took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

Zero still had his hands on the steering wheel, his expressionless face turned towards him, looking him up and down.

During this period, Zhuo always felt like a pig whose breeder was considering whether it was "old enough to be served on the table".

"……Miracle."

Zero only said two words.

It's a bit strange, but it seems to be a compliment~
"Miracle?"

He repeated, staring at her hopefully, hoping that she would say more.

Ling looked at him calmly, seeming to understand what he meant.

"It's a miracle that you're still alive."

wash:"……"

Zhuo: "Is the car in front Fengtian? It's black, so rare."

In fact, they are everywhere on the streets.

The change of topic was too abrupt and too obvious.

Zero ignored his change of subject and continued to look at him expressionlessly. After about three or four seconds, he said calmly:

"However, I am very happy to have such a relationship with you, and it is easy to get along with you."

Oh hoo!

It's a long monologue.

"……Yeah?"

Zhuo withdrew his gaze and put it back on Ling.

"Ah."

Zero nodded slightly.

"That's good. Thank you for the past year. Thank you very much."

There is no falsehood in this gratitude.

Even if we put aside the daily care, just being with a beautiful girl like Zero every day is a very enjoyable thing.

Even if she jokes with Zero occasionally, she won't get angry.

"Me too."

Zero said in confusion.

"Hmm? Did I do something?"

It was really puzzling. Apart from the Christmas gift, Zhuo couldn't remember when he had ever helped her.

As for the Christmas gift, Zero had already given him a "One-day Experience Voucher for Level 4 Disability", and both parties were very satisfied.

So, what is she talking about.

"nothing."

But Zero did not give an answer, instead he turned his head back.

Zhuo smiled. Since she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask any further questions.

"...Well, let's get along well this year too~"

"This year, pay attention to your diet and keep exercising."

"Before entering the coffin..."

"Then it'll be just vegetables tonight."

"...I can still try to save him before he is put into the coffin."

"That's good."

Although he was threatened by Ling with dinner, Ling was also considering his health, so Zhuo did not refute too much.

...Anyway, he quite likes this kind of life.

That's why I feel warm.

It was clearly the first month of the lunar year. The blood-red sunset shone in through the window, making Zero's originally white and transparent face slightly red, as if she had put on blush.

It's so beautiful, man.

……

Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, she disappeared, dragging her long skirt.

One week……

Two weeks...

a month...

Two months

It just passed like that.

Since the first day of school, Utsunomiya Shuo no longer took Rei's car to school.

It's not that there is any other reason. If possible, he totally agrees to sit in the car to go to school every day... and he can catch up on some sleep on the way.

But Zero disagreed.

The reason is "going to and from school is the only exercise you get in the day."

Zhuo was helpless.

It is you who feeds the pigs fat, and it is you who dislikes the pigs being fat.

However, the meals every day are quite rich.

It's difficult for him too!

After all, what kind of boss would order people to work while holding their throats with an iron chain?

But he has no say.

……

One weekend morning.

Utsunomiya Shuo brought two cups of coffee from the kitchen and walked into the bedroom.

There were two sparrows perched on the air conditioner outside the windowsill. After hearing the movement of Utsunomiya Shuo, they turned their heads 180 degrees, looked at him, and then continued to stand there.

Walking into the bedroom, Zhuo immediately saw Ling sitting at the desk flipping through a book.

Ling was wearing a pure black T-shirt and jeans today, which made her look thin and gaunt. She sat upright, holding the corner of the book with one hand and gently turning the pages with the other.

After seeing Utsunomiya Shuo coming in, he moved the book in his hand to the side, leaving space for the coffee.

Utsunomiya Zhuo placed a cup for her, then took a sip of his own cup, then took a book from the bookshelf and sat on the bed to read.

Gorky's "Childhood".

This is a book that many people read in elementary school.

"What's the schedule for today?" Utsunomiya Shuo asked while flipping through the pages of the book.

"Reading here." Ling answered without looking up, flipping through the pages.

Over this period of time, their relationship has become more and more relaxed.

The living room and kitchen are no longer their only places of activity.

Or the bedroom.

As for the bathroom... probably not possible.

Recently, Ling basically doesn't leave during the day on weekends. He always stays at Zhuo's house, either reading or daydreaming.

Zhuo is also a person who does nothing.

So we often discuss how to pass the time together, no matter what we do.

"Are you watching it all the time?" Utsunomiya Zhuo asked again.

"Finish reading the books here." Zero said.

Utsunomiya Shuo took a look at his bookshelf. Although there were not many books, there were still dozens of them.

Moreover, the way of reading Zero Book is not speed reading, but reading slowly page by page.

"All of them?"

"All."

Utsunomiya Zhuo thought for a moment and asked again: "Are you serious?"

"I was just kidding." Ling finally raised his head. There was a mischievous strand of hair slanting on his forehead. It looked a little messy, but just the right amount of beautiful.

She snapped the book shut and said, "What do you want to eat later?"

"It will be all right."

Utsunomiya Shuya put down the book and said with a smile.

"Then let's have barbecue."

"No problem, a little bit of each kind of meat."

"it is good."

Ling quietly put the book back on the bookshelf, said softly, "I'm going out," and went on the way to buy groceries.

Just like this, every ordinary day.

　Thanks to brother Heiyuan Jin for the monthly ticket.
