Chapter 262, Hey, warrior!
You know, in many stories, if the villain doesn't lower his intelligence and talk nonsense, the protagonist can't win. No! Maybe they can't become the protagonist.

Zhuo spat out the mung bean cake in his mouth, stood up and kicked the stool aside.

'puff--'

"What a crappy snack! It's so disgusting! Great Sage, stop the rotation of the earth. Don't live anymore. Become a bandit. Today is the day!"

Zhuo knew that he shouldn't say such words.

Anyone who saw this scene and heard the previous conversation would think that the two of them parted on bad terms and that Utsunomiya Shuo was the one causing the trouble.

Considering Lu Mingze's performance with his full tea art skills, Zhuo could even guess that Ling might be hiding somewhere nearby and eavesdropping.

It is impossible for Zhuo and Lu Mingze to really fight, so if that's the case, they can only use their brains in small ways... When it comes to playing tricks, ten Utsunomiya Zhuo tied together are no match for Lu Mingze.

Just like it is now.

Lu Mingze was always gentle, and he got angry first.

This scene must have caught Zero's attention.

But it doesn’t matter. Even so, Zhuo doesn’t think he did anything wrong.

He didn't know what Lu Mingze's purpose was, and he was too lazy to guess...but his purpose had always been clear. He didn't go back to sleep in the middle of the night and "fell" to Izu Beach hundreds of kilometers away, just to bring Ling back.

This process cannot all go smoothly.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about Ling herself - she came here of her own will, even if it was Lu Mingze’s order; similarly, Ling would not leave without Lu Mingze’s nod.

If Zhuo only thinks about himself and only wants to rely on force to stage a "rescue drama", it will only make Ling Zuoyou embarrassed.

It is because of them that Zero continues to feel pain.

Lu Mingze probably understood these principles, so he openly acted out the play and let Utsunomiya Zhuo continue to act.

'I can make her go with you...'

This is what Lu Mingze meant.

As for what the conditions are... smart people never propose conditions themselves, they always let the other party make the conditions.

So Zhuo was willing to act as the bad guy.

Also willing to accept his other conditions.

There is nothing much to say. I think she is good and I will jump into her trap anyway.

Zhuo rarely expressed clear hostility, but Lu Mingze did not get angry. He simply endured that gaze with a calm expression.

"You're being really frank..."

Even when being stared at by Zhuo with angry eyes, Lu Mingze would only respond with a calm look, which intensified Zhuo's anger.

The reason why he didn't explode was because what he wanted in his heart was something bigger.

"That's amazing. Is it too late for me to regret now? I think you don't have the right or ability to live with her now, although your life with me is uncertain.

"just kidding.

"I really hope my brother can learn from you~ Oh! Forget it, it's better to stay away from you. One loser is already a disaster enough. If he joins hands with the lazy guy, who will guard the earth and who will defeat Ultraman?

“Hide in the crowd and be content with being ordinary.

"No flower is a flower from the beginning." Lu Mingze stood up, his figure gradually becoming blurred: "We all have to start from seeds, planted, sprouted, rooted, watered, breaking through the soil... being trampled on by people and baptized by wind and rain along the way. It's a pity, why don't you grow into a thorn to take revenge on those who stepped on you. How painful and aggrieved it is to be stepped on. Aren't you angry? Don't you want to hear their screams?"

He looked into the distance and talked to himself. Zhuo could already see the sea in the distance through his body.

"Right, Utsunomiya Zhuo-kun." Lu Mingze suddenly turned around, "I'm looking forward to our next meeting."

After seeing him say this, Zhuo disappeared completely.

Zhuo withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, turned around, and crawled towards the towering official residence behind him.

With his back to that place, Zhuo walked further and further away without turning around. He waved his hand with his back turned:

"Don't worry... See you next time, we will fight to the death." There is still a long way to climb, so tiring~
Zhuo complained weakly.

Where he disappeared, a soap bubble burst with a 'pop' sound.

It's like a dream being shattered.

……

There are no street lights on the mountain road to Black Stone Residence at night. It is pitch black and one can only grope forward in the hazy moonlight.

This was Zhuo's second time climbing this long and smelly mountain road... He remembered that because the road was too long, he asked Ling to pick him up for no reason last time, which made the other party a little angry.

As helpless as I was when climbing the mountain back then, I am now more excited when I do it again.

Zhuo knew that his relationship with Lu Mingze had only officially begun tonight. He could only take things one step at a time, and he was not in a hurry.

In fact, he had no real sense of his own abilities, nor did he plan to do anything, nor did he feel that he would be different from today on.

Only a person with such an empty heart would rely on such things to affirm his or her own significance.

Zhuo has no interest in those.

You don't have to achieve something to be considered alive. Just liking to look at the sky, take a walk, and eat pizza is also a good life. He came to this world just to see how flowers bloom, how water flows, how the sun rises, when the sun sets, experience interesting things, and meet unforgettable people.

It doesn’t matter if you have no future, as long as you still have aura, it’s already very good.

It doesn’t matter if there are many disasters in the future, because you choose your own path and everything is the best arrangement.

Zhuo cannot see through the future, he only knows that from this moment on his life may no longer be able to avoid this Russian screw "little" girl in front of him.

All the negative emotions disappeared immediately when I saw her at the top.

Zhuo and she stared at each other from more than ten meters away, but no one spoke.

The meeting just now was too sudden, so Zhuo has not yet recovered from his youthful enthusiasm... But now the night is very dark, and all around is silent, as if those things that happened in the past few days had not happened. Zhuo's self-confidence in doing things and his anxiety about gains and losses began to emerge again.

She stood there quietly, looking at Zhuo, but her eyes were a little vague.

Zhuo didn’t know how much time had passed, but it felt like only a moment. His brain seemed to have just run away from home, and he had no sense of reality for that memory at all.

All I remember is that after they were silent for a long time, Ling kicked a stone over, interrupting the tranquility of the night.

"Come in and eat something first. I just made some."

Her familiar tone and clear voice seemed to remind Zhuo that this was not a dream.

Zhuo didn't answer her, but took two steps forward and let himself be dragged by gravity and sat down heavily on the ground.

Ling came behind him at a speed so fast that Zhuo couldn't see any of her movements. She held the back of his neck with both hands and was trying to sit down so that he could rest his head on her.

But Zhuo pulled her into his arms.

"Come home with me."

Zhuo whispered in her ear and said words that consumed two-thirds of his courage in this life.

Her body was obviously stiff, as hard as a rock. She quickly hugged Zhuo tightly. Because of sobbing and exhaustion, Zhuo could not hear her answer. She might not have answered at all, but just nodded desperately on his shoulder.

Zhuo felt her hands tightly grasping the less solid muscles on his back, as if trying to press him into her life.

Hey, warrior! If I hadn't gotten a level up today, I would have been strangled to death by you.

Zhuo gently rubbed Ling's back. He did not try to comfort her who was crying for some reason. He just shared the warmth of his chest with her while looking up at the moon which was exceptionally bright tonight.

Homecoming is a great word.

I'll take you home.

Let's go home.

Come back to our home.
