Chapter 163, Side dishes? Vegetable packs? (Update )
After all, it's his personal problem, and he's just a little gloomy.

"I am not angry."

Zhuo said this and turned to look at him.

Zero blinked quietly.

Zhuo sighed, "I'm sorry, I know you and my parents are having a good time, I'm just being so self-centered and making trouble. I'm not mad at you, it's just..."

Zhuo suddenly stopped talking, smiled and shrugged, saying: "It's quite childish, isn't it?", and took a sip of the coffee that Ling poured for him.

Being unhappy is his own business, and he certainly won't vent it on Ling and his parents.

Zhuo put down the cup and took a breath.

Ling still looked at him quietly, as if observing whether his expression was a lie—then he slowly moved his body and hung his legs down again, with his little feet in white socks dangling there.

Her toes touched each other inwards, and she seemed to feel a little uncomfortable.

See this.

Zhuo was obviously stunned for a moment, then he raised his eyes and looked at Ling's face in confusion.

But the moment Zero looked into his eyes, he turned his little face to the left.

Don't meet his eyes.

Zhuo: “…” So is this an apology, or something else?
Also, did Zero misunderstand something? I always feel that he has some special quirks?

And, no matter if this is an apology or something else... this is killing the side dish! Don't look down on me! This is not even a vegetable packet for instant noodles!!!
Zhuo didn’t know what happened to Ling suddenly, but he was a little confused.

Then, Zero turned his head slightly and glanced at him sideways.

"Want to buy a bicycle?"

After speaking softly, Zero looked out the window very slowly and said, "Let's go together."

"..." Zhuo pursed his lips, thought about these words, and then smiled bitterly.

I feel like an idiot.

It was really stupid to talk to herself and get into a tantrum. It was obvious that Ling had done nothing wrong, but he still had to trouble her to comfort him.

How childish!
"When are we going?" Zhuo asked.

"It's all right," Zero said, and then added, "...Sa Chiko and the others also asked me to go out with you."

"Oh."

His parents seemed to see through him, too.

Zhuo felt even more stupid and laughed so hard that his whole body was shaking.

"OK," then Zhuo smiled and shrugged, then pointed at the puff and whispered, "But first I want to eat some snacks you made." Ling lowered his eyes imperceptibly.

"...Would you like to eat together?"

"it is good."

After saying that, Zero stopped sitting on the bed and sat next to it.

I started eating puffs.

The puffs are freshly made and not frozen.

So soft.

...

...

"Are you two going out now?"

After going downstairs and passing by the lobby on the first floor, Sa Chiko, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and asked as if she suddenly remembered something.

Judging from the identical smiling reactions of Sachinko and Shuichi, Zhuo understood that it was a mistake to let them know that he was going out with Zero.

However, he simply said, "It's really boring to stay at home together," and it seemed that he didn't intend to joke.

"Well, but the store is a bit far away. You can take a walk on the way."

"Ah."

After saying hello, he stood at the entrance with Ling, changed into outdoor shoes, and then went out.

Along the path, there are residential buildings on both sides. The windows are very small and the curtains are drawn... This is the norm in Neon. Generally, no one will open the curtains and the windows are very small. Everyone seems to pay attention to privacy.

Although I haven't been home for about a year, there hasn't been much change around here. Zhuo felt a surge of nostalgia as he walked along the familiar road.

He walked side by side with Zero.

One tall and one short.

This is actually quite rare, or it has never happened before, walking side by side leisurely like this... Whenever boys and girls who look like students on vacation pass by, they will look at the blonde girl beside them with envy. Zhuo felt a little funny and laughed.

Actually, there's nothing funny about it.

But I just laughed for no reason.

This also proves how beautiful Ling is, which is a good thing, and it attracts almost everyone's attention, which makes Zhuo feel very interesting.

"What are you laughing at?"

A voice suddenly came from beside me.

"Hmm?" Zhuo was still laughing and said, "Because Ling is very beautiful, so she attracted so many people to see her."

"What's the point of attracting other people's attention?" Ling looked straight ahead with a calm expression.

This kind of thing is not worth making a fuss about for her.

"What if it were me?"

"..."

Ling said nothing and continued his orderly pace, pretending not to hear anything.

Zhuo turned his head to look at him and smiled mischievously.

Because it was afternoon and summer, the sun was very strong.

Zhuo walked slowly in the shade of the trees, looking at the flowers blooming in the flower beds on both sides, and spent a very leisurely time.

The lady next door who occasionally came out for a walk said to him, "Wow, that young man from the Utsunomiya family back then..." She looked at him with a subtle smile and nodded.

Zhuo didn't explain anything and just nodded in response.

I just feel itchy in my heart.

They walked a long way in the process, so they bought some drinks from the vending machine and drank them while walking.

Soon, we arrived at the commercial street.

There are not many people in the commercial street, just a few in twos and threes.

This place is not like Tokyo, it is just the town’s own commercial street.

There were two foreign students working part-time handing out flyers at the entrance of the mall. They were wearing thick clothes and looked like two balls. When they saw Utsunomiya Shuo and Zero passing by, they quickly handed them two fitness flyers.

They were all stuffed to Zhuo.

They seemed very embarrassed facing Zero.

Utsunomiya Shuo took the two pieces, folded them in half, and folded them in half again, stuffed them into his school uniform pocket, and prepared to go home and make them into a trash can.

Soon, we arrived at the bicycle shop recommended by Sachinko.

Inside are neatly arranged mountain bikes, exercise bikes, fixed gear bikes, downhill bikes, construction bikes, etc. Almost all types of bicycles are listed, and there are also several technical bikes for display hanging on the wall.

All polished to a shiny finish.

The store manager is a fat old man. It is said that he participated in a mountain bike competition when he was young, but accidentally broke his bones and never rode a bike again. He eventually opened a bike shop on the commercial street.

The products are of high quality and low price, with perfect after-sales service. We can provide different styles of models according to the needs of customers, and even customize bicycles.

At this moment, Utsunomiya Shuo was sitting on the sofa in the store, filling out forms.

It is said that the store manager can recommend the most suitable bicycle model based on the customer's answers.

It's quite mysterious.

Utsunomiya Shuo looked at the table and fell into deep thought when facing the fifth question.

5: Which type of girls do you like best?
A: Ordinary is just right.

B: Royal sister.

C: Loli.

D: Rich woman.

E: Pig.

I haven't put pen to paper yet.

Zero stood behind him, bent down to take a look, then stood up and looked around.

Zhuo thought for a moment and asked, "Which one do you like?"

"pig."

Utsunomiya Shuo filled in E in the option box.
