Chapter 265, Let’s do this for now
"She may know something, or she may know everything."
Zhuo, who closed his eyes but did not fall asleep, thought that Ling must have noticed that Zhuo was worried and wanted to help him get over it. Or maybe Ling was worried and felt sorry for him, hoping that he would cheer up.
Why Zero came up with the idea of using a knee pillow to relieve stress is a mystery.
But this trick is really useful. Ling's knee pillow really made Zhuo's fatigue disappear during this period, and he felt quiet and comfortable. Zhuo couldn't make any comments.
Maybe Zhuo was really tired now, his heartbeat was not as intense as he had imagined, and he only felt a comfortable feeling like dozing off that continued to penetrate deeper into his body.
He never thought that having someone gently combing his hair could be such a relaxing and pleasant experience.
Having never experienced such a "coquettish" scene before, Zhuo didn't know how to resist and gradually sank into the ocean of happiness and satisfaction.
This is really too comfortable. If I continue like this, I might really fall asleep.
……
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.
"Come to think of it, there's a girl resting her lap on you, but you don't even have any thoughts about it. As a man, is this really okay?"
Just when Zhuo was half asleep and half awake, and was about to hold the pillow under his head to change direction in his sleep, he suddenly heard such a sound, and Zhuo woke up all of a sudden. Not only that, he was almost scared to jump up.
"I, I'll tell you."
"I read in a book that when boys are tired, using their knees as a pillow can replenish their romance and restore their fatigue."
Ok.
After hearing this, Zhuo understood where this knee pillow with a clear purpose came from. However, if we say it has a strong purpose, this purpose is for Zhuo's consideration, and it has become a kind of concern. In this way, Zhuo can't blame her.
When Zhuo opened his eyes, Ling was touching Zhuo's cheek with his fingertips.
Zhuo thought about how to answer her and pursed his lips naturally.
To be honest, it feels really good, otherwise I wouldn't sleep so soundly. Zhuo even wants to sleep like this every day. Of course, this must not be said, otherwise Ling would be speechless and would retreat.
The truth cannot be told, but forced denial is also not an option.
Now Zhuo was using her to rest and had his hands on the girl's thighs, so he couldn't say the word "bad" no matter what.
However, if he was foolish enough to honestly express his feelings, he would obviously appear to be a complete lunatic. After a moment of worry, Zhuo decided to strike back and throw the question back.
"...Of course I had some feelings, but I was just too sleepy so I fell asleep. But is it really okay for you to let the opposite sex rest their laps on yours?"
"I made the decision after careful consideration. How can I just do it casually?"
The answer that I had thought about for a long time was easily pierced by Zero.
After thinking about it... after hearing this word, Zhuo's heart skipped a beat.
In fact, it doesn't take much thought to understand that Zero would not approach other opposite sexes, and physical contact is absolutely impossible. She really thinks that the nickname of "Vacuum Queen" was given for nothing (sticking up her long nose).
Even for Zhuo, such straightforward words as 'I decided to give you a lap pillow after thinking about it' still made Zhuo feel embarrassed both inside and on his face.
No, no, this is not possible. The shy and serious type can't handle this kind of straightforwardness at all. Zhuo thought to himself, twisting his gaze.
Ling seemed to notice, but also seemed not to notice Zhuo's awkwardness. He was still combing Zhuo's hair and stroking his forehead with his fingers.
In terms of language: "Anyway, even if I have thought about it, it is just my own decision and what I did on my own. You just enjoy it. After all, I want to touch it too."
"...Is that so?" In simple terms, what Zero meant was probably 'This is what I decided to do, you don't have to take it to heart'.
Facing Ling who said that all these actions for Zhuo were for her own sake, Zhuo felt ashamed and itchy for her careful consideration. With such emotions, Zhuo frankly obeyed Ling's intention.
"...How's things going in the class lately?" Ling asked Zhuo casually while silently fiddling with Zhuo's hair.
"Well, it's nothing serious. If I have to say, it's that we have exams again, and after the exams, everyone will enter the third year of high school, the last year of high school - the entrance season. So everyone is studying hard."
"That's normal. Have you thought about which university you want to go to in the future?"
"University? I haven't thought about it. Anyway, you will definitely go to Kassel College. I can't go there. I'll think about it later."
"Kassel College?"
"Nothing surprising here, I know this, an ancient dragon slaying academy located in the mountains on the outskirts of Chicago, Illinois."
Anyway, Zhuo is now completely relaxed, and he openly tells Ling things that he shouldn't know, and the fact that he knows Ling will leave in a year.
And Zhuo was not planning to go to Kassel College.
He wanted to be with Zero, but not in this way.
This last year has been enough, and Zhuo is easily satisfied.
Anyway, now he has expressed this hidden meaning, and with Ling's IQ, he must be able to hear it. Zhuo closed his eyes - and then his face was pinched.
"……what."
"…Nothing. I understand what you mean and the reason, but my emotions won't allow me to do nothing."
"What are you talking about... You are not allowed to twist your face."
Ling Quan pretended not to hear and continued pinching his face, increasing the strength.
Zhuo was powerless to do anything about it.
Although it was just a possibility, Zero seemed to want to express that she would not go to Kassel Academy and wanted to stay here.
However, is this really possible? If possible, Zhuo certainly hopes it will be like this - as for the series of chain reactions that will inevitably be triggered after this... Hehe, Zhuo had already used up the weights, and now he has lost the possibility of severing contact with the dragon world. The things he was implicated in were already determined when he used up the weights.
He is bound to be implicated.
This is why people who do not plan for the future will have immediate worries.
However, if he could use this trouble to keep Zero in Japan, Zhuo would think this deal is a great deal.
In short, whether everything goes well or not, you must believe that God has other plans.
"Ah~~" Ling looked at his face for a long time and sighed, "It's a little late, I still apologize to you."
"Why do you need to apologize... And this 'late' and 'right' are very concerning."
"This is what you have to think about... Zhuo."
“…Oh, oh.”
After calling out Utsunomiya Shuo's name smoothly and naturally again, Zero stroked Shuo's forehead again - to be precise, he stroked the center of his eyebrows.
