Chapter 159: Let’s Talk About the Price (Part )

"It's going to be hard. Have you really thought it through?"

Although Zhuo took the plate reflexively and wiped the water off with a rag, he couldn't hide his hesitation and his brows were furrowed.

"Why are you so shaken? You can't tell from the atmosphere that you're dating... That doesn't seem right. I should say you can tell from the looks of it that you're not dating. There's no way you can hide it."

Although she cannot agree with what Sa Chiko said, what does it mean by 'I'm not the one dating', she cannot deny the fact that Zero is not his girlfriend.

Since Zhuo has never been in a relationship, he doesn't know where Sa Qianzi got the confidence to say that.

Moreover, he had been planning to find an opportunity to confess this matter to his parents, but he just hadn't found the chance yet.

In the end, all of this is seen through and there is no point.

“…Is it not possible?”

Zhuo said in a low voice.

"Sure! Of course I want her to come and be my daughter. She's very welcome." Sa Chiko said, "And judging from the look in your eyes and the atmosphere, if you really get together, mom and dad will certainly have no objection."

Sa Chiko paused, then continued, "But why aren't they together?"

She looked at Zhuo in confusion.

I have to say that Sa Chiko's amazingly sharp guess hit the mark completely.

Zhuo frowned and remained speechless.

"……Mother."

"I'm here~"

"Don't tell Zero about this."

"I won't tell you. But I also hope you can succeed, keep working hard~ By the way, mom has always wanted a daughter, a granddaughter is also fine."

"How is that possible?" Zhuo stared speechlessly at his mother who was talking nonsense.

"I know, so you have to keep her. Do you still remember the life motto your mother told you?"

Sa Chiko paused.

Then they both spoke in unison.

"Keep listening to good songs, keep eating delicious food, and hold the hand of the person you like tightly."

"Keep listening to good songs, keep eating delicious food, and hold the hand of the person you like tightly."

Sa Chiko patted his head happily, "Great!", and then walked away.

Zhuo stood in the empty kitchen, put the last dish back into the kitchen cabinet, then washed his hands and wiped them clean with a towel.

silence.

After a long silence.

Zhuo slowly placed the towel on the table and walked towards the stairwell step by step.

……

Neon's built-in structures are basically made of wood and paper materials, such as paper sliding doors, wooden stairs...

The soft indoor shoes made a dull thumping sound as they came into contact with the stairs.

Utsunomiya Shuo climbed up the stairs.

"Great Sage."

【Report: Please speak. 】

"My feelings towards Zero, is that possessiveness?"

[Answer: Your feelings are indeed out of the possessive desire of 'jealousy'. However, human feelings cannot be categorized, and different people will have different interpretations. There are many different explanations for where 'jealousy' comes from.]

Zhuo thought about it and had nothing to say.

"You heard what I said before, is there anything I can do?"

In the past, Zhuo had never cared so much about someone.

On the one hand, Zhuo really believes that he cannot compare to Lu Mingze in every aspect. There is no comparison at all. Of course, Zhuo can also use [weights] to exchange for strength, growth, and even charm... But what is the use of these? Just because you can fight, you have money, you are handsome, and you can tell a few dirty jokes, the girl who is with you is not what Zhuo needs.

It is even more impossible for Ling to like someone because of these factors.

On the other hand, I didn't want to disturb Zero on my own initiative because I was ashamed.

There's no need to tell you how Zero treats him on a daily basis.

And if I pursue someone just because I am attached to the life with Zero... that would be too cruel.

Zhuo thinks that as long as Ling can be happy, it doesn't matter if the other person is not him, and he is willing to leave as scheduled. No one can say that Ling's future life on the edge of a knife cannot be considered happy. No one can define other people's happiness.

So I couldn't go, nor did I dare to cross that line.

But now after hearing his mother say this, Zhuo began to waver.

It's not wrong to say that it's stingy or possessive, but it can also be said that the desire to cherish Zero and not let go is even stronger.

Zhuo hopes Ling can live a better life, hopes she can continue to accompany him, hopes she can like him, like him to the point that she doesn't care about other men. He hopes to hold her and never let her go.

But this hope is still his unilateral idea.

And these thoughts may be troubles and troubles for Zero.

[Answer: I cannot understand human emotions. But I suggest that before you consider these, you should give priority to what will happen next if you succeed.]

"after?"

What else can happen after that? If he really succeeds, he can die with a smile.

What's there to think about?

[Answer: According to your memory, this behavior will undoubtedly push Lu Mingze to the enemy side, and you need to make follow-up preparations; or, he is more likely to give up Zero Razumovskaya Romanov and make you an offer you cannot refuse, or set a trap for you to fall into in an overt way. ]

[Also, if you really succeed, given Zero Razumovskaya Romanov's weight and the complexity of her social background, the price you have to pay may be very high, and you may lose a lot of your existing chips, or even all of them.]

"oh."

[Answer: Even if you don't take it to heart, even if you minimize the cost, you will still lose some [nothing], which means that your previous 'preparation plan' will not be realized, and you will be passive in the future. ]

"oh."

[Answer: This behavior will also attract Odin's attention, and it will be difficult for him not to regard your behavior as taking sides. Your final situation may be surrounded by enemies on all sides, but you have lost your complete weapons. This is very unwise and is not recommended. ]

"oh."

"Are you done?"

【Answer: The answer is complete.】

"Then keep quiet."

Zhuo looked up and found himself in the room on the fourth floor.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows let in bright and dazzling light, making it impossible to open your eyes.

It is noon now and the sun is scorching.

The sun is shining brightly.

Walking to the window, I saw a green countryside with fruits and vegetables that had been planted long ago by various families. An orange cat poked its head out of the grass before quickly disappearing.

Two sparrows landed on the treetops, jumping around, not afraid of people. They tilted their heads and looked at Zhuo through the glass. Their little black eyes looked at the human in front of them with heavy dark circles, as if they wanted to see if this person was a panda in disguise.

Utsunomiya Shuo waved at them in a friendly manner.

They lost interest and turned their heads away.

Hands hanging down.

I remembered the words of the great sage again.

The consequences must be borne.

The price to be paid.

The weight that might be lost, Lu Mingze's conspiracy, Odin's revenge, the vortex of the dragon clan, the environment surrounded by enemies...

Zhuo stared at the street in the distance and could already see an older man with graying hair, leading a girl with light blonde hair, slowly walking towards this side.

He stared at the girl.

It was so far away that only the outline could be seen.

Without any warning, the walking girl suddenly raised her head and looked in his direction.

Zhuo looked at her nonchalantly from a distance of several hundred meters or even farther, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

The clock on the table is ticking.

Zhuo sat on the chair and looked up.

Sighed deeply.

"But I don't care..."
