Chapter 157, Goose Goose Goose
The washing room is very large.

Because there is almost only one room on the second and third floors, and that is the bedroom - except for the bathroom next to the stairwell.

The bathroom is inside the bedroom.

"Then Ling-chan, you can use this room."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. The restroom is right across the street, and there's a bathroom in the room if you want to take a shower. I'm sorry that the sheets and other items are all old because we weren't well prepared."

When Zero heard the words "They are all old", he blinked, and after thinking about it for a moment, he understood the meaning without any extra fluctuations.

Instead, Zhuo Ze felt embarrassed and looked away.

As expected, Sa Chiko brought Ling into the room that originally belonged to Zhuo. Zhuo sighed softly.

Zero had already entered the room to familiarize himself with it, and Sa Chiko, who was standing by the door, turned around with a smile.

then.

Zhuo was still led to the fourth floor.

…When I came back last year, there was indeed a room on the fourth floor that was not used as a storage room.

The fourth floor is basically a storage room. The room connected to the balcony is used as a study and is usually used as a guest room. Although it is basically never used, the room is neatly decorated and can be lived in.

The cousins ​​also use this room when they come for long vacations, although they haven't been here for many years.

"Although Rei-chan is using your room, please don't do anything bad~"

Sa Qianzi stood at the door, put one hand on the door frame, and reminded with a smile.

If someone else said this, there would be nothing wrong with it...if we ignore Zero's own fighting ability.

But the person who said this was her biological mother.

So we have to understand it the other way around.

Zhuo pretended not to hear and quickly went into the room. He wiped the desk and found it was dust-free, indicating that it had been cleaned.

"Aren't you worried that your son won't be able to sleep at night? It's so hot here."

"Hehe, I'm not worried about that." Sa Chiko covered her mouth and laughed.

"You'd better worry about it." Zhuo turned around and stared at her speechlessly.

"Then I'll worry about it..." Sa Chiko waved her hand and walked towards the stairs with a smile, "I'll go prepare lunch first. You two check the luggage. Ling-chan has already moved the luggage to the room."

"OK, thanks."

"You're welcome. See you later."

Sa Chiko walked down the stairs.

After Zhuo confirmed that he could not see her back, he sighed heavily.

Then Zhuo sat on the bed for a while, thought carefully, and stood up and went downstairs.

third floor.

Utsunomiya Shuuya held on the door frame with one hand, his posture exactly the same as Sa Chiko before - after all, they are mother and son.

"I'm sorry, this is probably the only room available."

Zhuo said so.

Ling, who was bending over to pack the suitcase and constantly taking things out and putting them aside, didn't look up when she heard his words... Maybe she had heard the footsteps a long time ago... Until she took out all the things in the suitcase, then picked up a pile of things that had been sorted, stood up and walked towards Zhuo.

In her arms were neatly folded men's clothes, and on top of the clothes were toothbrushes and other daily necessities.

She stopped in front of Utsunomiya Shuo, looked up at him slightly, and said, "I'm fine."

"My mother must have misunderstood our relationship. I will find time to explain it clearly later."

"..." Zero looked up at him and repeated again: "It's okay."

Seeing that Ling didn't show any shyness or timidity at all, Zhuo felt indescribable.

He was secretly happy that Ling didn't treat him as a stranger, but also felt disappointed that this girl really didn't have any feelings for him - after all, it would always be uncomfortable for a girl to stay overnight in the room of a boy she liked. Ling didn't feel that way at all, she even started to tidy up her room.

By the way, is there anything shameful in his room?
forgotten.

While Zhuo was thinking hard, Ling was waiting quietly, holding the clothes in his arms.

"Okay then... Oh, by the way, the room upstairs is connected to a balcony, so you can come up if you want to see the stars at night."

"...Well, I'll go and see it if it's convenient. Okay, go clean up your room first."

"Oh."

I don’t know if Ling noticed Zhuo’s little thoughts. When Zhuo took the clothes and was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly said, "You'd better throw away the magazines under the bed. They don't look good."

At this point, Zhuo finally remembered what he had forgotten, and once again felt the urge to die on the spot.

His expression froze.

If it happened to high school students or adults, this kind of thing wouldn't be a big deal... I bought it when I was in junior high school, so I was indeed a little too old.

Ling probably thought of this, so she hesitated before saying this. It was too direct.

He doesn't care at all whether others can bear it or not.

...Having said that, there is probably no resentment in my heart. What I do feel is just the shame and indignation of having the peach blossoms plucked so roughly when they were in full bloom.

He silently covered his face with his hands (actually his clothes), turned around and left the room.

……

In order to welcome Ling's arrival and also to welcome his son home, Xiu Yichu cooked a carefully prepared lunch.

Similar to Rei, Zhuo's father is also the type who can cook anything. Because Sachiko wants to eat it, the main dish today is Spanish rice.

Of course, there was not only Spanish rice on the table, but also soup and salads with lots of seafood.

Each one was naturally delicious, and Ling also ate a lot of it. It seemed that she also thought that Shuichi's cooking skills were good.

"My son has caused you trouble."

After taking a short break for lunch, Shuichi sat on a chair and bowed slightly to Zero.

By the way, Sa Chiko is in charge of cleaning up after dinner, so she is busy in the kitchen now and is not here. The sound of cleaning coming from the kitchen makes her presence felt.

Ling was not at all timid about meeting other people's parents.

After hearing what Shuichi said, he shook his head slightly in denial.

"It's not too much trouble."

Well, it can't be considered a denial.

Even though Zhuo's father was an adult, he still found this kind of answer difficult to handle.

It’s so damn direct!

Zhuo had no choice but to leave.

"Just tell me honestly that taking care of me is troublesome." Zhuo said while chewing an apple after dinner.

Hearing this, Ling looked over and blinked, "I don't think it's a bother."

"Oh."

Zhuo responded perfunctorily and continued to eat his apple and watch TV.

"Zhuo, don't be like this all the time. It would be better if you could just say thank you."

Shuichi also reacted and started talking to ease the atmosphere.

For Japan, which attaches great importance to social culture, this straightforward way of communication is truly uncultured.

But this was the norm for his communication with Zero.

If you have something to say, say it.

Except for no swear words, everything is said.

So after hearing his father's attempt to smooth things over, Zhuo didn't think about holding back. Instead, he paused and said, "...she doesn't need it."

Xiuyi was about to make some criticism.

But I saw Zero on the opposite side nodded, and then said "hmm".

When Zhuo saw his father's deflated face, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Geese, geese, geese are singing with their necks bent to the sky."

　　I deleted and rewrote it. In my outline, this part of the plot is the transition from the second stage to the third stage.

　　Because it is a transitional film, the general plot before and after has been thought out.

　　But how to write this, I am totally stumped!!!

　　It's hard.

　　I'm also afraid of using too much force.

　　After all, your train of thought always goes astray in a way that I cannot understand, so I deleted and rewrote it several times.
