Chapter 15: Don’t think this is luck in love
After Zhuo's consciousness returned to reality, he suddenly remembered one thing—he let Ling into the room.

There is a saying that goes "It is easy to invite a Buddha but difficult to send him off." It is easy to welcome guests but it is a bit embarrassing to send them off.

Ling belongs to this category in Zhuo's guest list.

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with just standing there.

Zhuo started to speak diplomatically and looked at Ling: "Would you like some juice? I'll go prepare it."

Ling casually glanced around the small living room, taking in the simple and messy environment.

She calmly withdrew her eyes and said lightly: "Thank you, but no need..."

Zero began to walk towards the door.

This sudden turn of events made Zhuo a little unbelievable. He hadn't even indicated that he wanted to see the guest off, but the guest was tactful enough to leave.

"Ah~ Sorry, sorry, I didn't know you had guests coming, so I don't have anything to entertain at home."

Zhuo said words of apology and followed Ling's footsteps, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

He also realized that his tone was too obvious, so he quickly corrected his attitude and continued with a straight face.

"Next time I come, I will definitely... be good..."

Zhuo couldn't continue.

He was standing at the entrance, about two meters behind Zero.

Ling walked down the porch and did not change back into her shoes. Zhuo was still wondering when she came back.

To be precise, he came back with something.

"…I will entertain you."

A simple paper bag, but inside it are extraordinary things—for ordinary high school students, it may not include Zhuo.

That is the latest game console that is now in short supply and sold out the moment it is put on the e-commerce shelves. Now you have to make a reservation to have a chance to get it, and it also comes with a controller and a game disc.

"This is the latest game console and game disc."

The addition of zero also confirms Zhuo's idea.

Why is Zero carrying this?

And, why a gaming console?
Zhuo had consciously ignored the fact that he could get a product that was out of stock on the market. In Zhuo's opinion, this was not worth making a fuss about.

Seeing that he didn't reach out to take it, Ling seemed to read his confusion from Zhuo's expression and explained.

"I thought that you were a freshman in high school like me, and a boy, so I concluded that such a gift would make you happy..."

Ling paused, "...Since you don't like it, I will prepare another gift."

Zero's tone of voice was neither hurried nor slow, and his speaking speed was relatively slow, and no emotion could be heard from him.

Even so, Zhuo still didn't understand what she meant by her previous words.

But from what I heard, this matter is not over yet?

He was anxious.

"Wait wait wait - Mr. Romanov, what do you mean I don't like it? Never mind that it's not important. You gave me a gift? Why?"

Should I say he is very good at reading people's expressions? Although Zhuo couldn't say he hated this gift, he didn't like it either.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter. What matters is why Zero gave him a gift.

"Apology." Zero said calmly.

"Apology?" Zhuo repeated. He turned around and pointed at the massage sofa in the living room: "But... didn't I already accept it?"

Ling only glanced at the sofa and then looked away, saying, "That's her apology."

Zhuo finally understood that the "she" that Ling was referring to was Su Enxi.

In other words, Su Enxi's apology was Su Enxi's and had nothing to do with Ling. She never gave away massage sofas, she was just a porter of massage sofas.

The game console was her apology.

Zhuo understood the logic behind this. But why?
"Why?" Zhuo asked, "There's really no need to do this. I'm not injured. Those are just small things that I don't care about. There's really no need. I feel bad for accepting this sofa."

He was serious. Zhuo really felt bad because this rhythm would never end.

"Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you. It was all done by your friend. In the end, you didn't know about it. So there's really no need."

Zhuo was resolute in his attitude.

This matter itself has nothing to do with Zero, she doesn't need to do this at all.

On the contrary, if Zhuo really asked the unaware Ling to apologize, he would feel guilty in his heart.

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.

Su Enxi had caused him trouble, but Zhuo didn't think it was a big deal even if he accepted his gifts. Even though the gifts were a bit expensive, Zhuo was thick-skinned! So it was totally fine.

Ling is different. Not only did she help him solve the problem, but she also had no knowledge of it beforehand, so she couldn't be blamed.

"It's related." Ling said, "I am the source of this matter, so I can't escape responsibility."

“So it does matter.”

Hey girl, I don't quite agree with this statement. No matter how you think about it, Su Enxi is coming for me, right? Otherwise, why wouldn't she go looking for trouble with so many people in the class, but come to me? Coincidence? I don't believe it... Zhuo complained in his heart.

However, he did not say these words, but he also made some judgments.

It seems... Ling doesn't know about him, only Su Enxi knows.

Zero thought he was just an ordinary high school student, so he came to apologize for the trouble.

Why is this happening?

Zhuo still couldn't figure it out.

Really, that's why he doesn't want to play with these mixed-bloods, especially this girl Su Enxi, who weighs 100 kilograms, 90 kilograms of which is tricky. She is too difficult to deal with.

Zhuo took a deep breath, looked Ling in the eye, and explained: "I understand what you mean, but I also hope you can understand my side. In my opinion, although this matter is related to you, you didn't know about it in advance, and you did help me solve the problem, so there is no need to apologize. As for your friend... I have accepted her apology, and this matter ends just right... What do you think?"

Ling frowned, listened to his words carefully, and fell silent.

Zhuo didn't know what she was thinking.

After two seconds, Zero held the game console in front of him with both hands and bowed slightly: "I understand. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

When Zhuo heard her words, he felt relieved and then became very happy.

Just understand.

We met by chance, you slay your dragon and I feed mine, but the road is long and we will never meet again.

"No, no, I am the one." Zhuo smiled.

"Then goodbye." Zero said.

"Come often when you are free."

With some polite words, Zhuo saw off Romanov, who had changed into flat shoes again, and watched her walk into the elevator and then disappear behind the door.

"Finally left..."

Zhuo stood on the red doormat at the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

Don’t ever think that being associated with the nanny group is a great thing, even if those stories are exciting and heart-wrenching.

But think about the people who are being targeted!
Think of their end!

Not to mention Lao Tang and Xia Mi, these two are the Dragon Kings and are players in the game.

Think about Chu Zihang who was led into the Kyoto subway station!

Think about the Eight Clans of Sheqi!

Think of the Genji brothers!

And there is old Bunin on the train in Russia!
Gee!
