Chapter 305
Together with Zero.
Zhuo thought so while standing under the warm shower. Although it is a bit simple to say so, and there are only a few words to describe it, at this moment Zhuo's heart is filled with emotions that cannot be extinguished even if cold water is poured over his head.
When he came back, until Ling prepared the bath water and adjusted it to the appropriate temperature and then returned to the bedroom, he was still as if in a dream, feeling light and fluttery.
Until now, Zhuo still doesn't feel it's real. This is really incredible. Ling likes me, she chose me. Is there anything more bizarre and wonderful than this?
Zhuo was just a high school student, he never thought he had any outstanding qualities, but now, the most outstanding girl in the class or even the school was in love with him, and the other party was the one he admired from the bottom of his heart. Thinking about it this way, it didn't seem strange that he would feel elated.
If you count carefully, it has been nearly two years since the two of them first met. If you say it suddenly, you might be shocked. It has been so long. Zhuo has similar thoughts. The difference is that when he thinks about the past, he feels that some time passes very quickly, while other time passes very slowly. Especially the ups and downs in the past six months, after he realized his inner heart and decided to let go, he felt that period of time was really very long.
He clearly realized that he liked Ling and made a trial this summer, when Ling also left. It seemed that from then on, time became fast and slow.
Especially when I thought about my confession to Zero, I wanted to find a crack to crawl into. The more I thought about it, the more ashamed I felt. I didn't care that it was already November, and I quickly turned the temperature control of the shower to expose myself to even cooler water.
Compared with the righteousness just now, the intensity of the shame at this moment can be said to be a hundred or a thousand times stronger.
Zhuo closed his eyes and faced the water flowing directly above him, thinking that he might as well drown himself.
No matter how hard Zhuo tried to fight the cold water like a girl in love, it was useless. He had to return to the small room that was already occupied.
Zhuo, with his already hot face, peeked in through the door and saw that his previous bed, which was now occupied by Ling, was covered with a diamond-shaped pattern - an irregular diamond-like shape with pointed ends.
It is indeed a joy to see the flower of love bloom, but I have no idea how to wash it away afterwards.
Now seeing Ling covering his head and pretending to be dead, Zhuo felt relieved.
In fact, he was really afraid that after he opened the door, he would find Zero already sitting at the head of the bed waiting for him; or to be more direct... Although it sounds a bit useless to say this, he might not be mentally prepared yet.
No, it should be said that he has not yet adapted to his new identity - Ling's boyfriend - of course, Zhuo is very greedy. In the past, he had no reason to be afraid, because fear would restrain himself. But now that he is sure of Ling's feelings, he also wants to take this suffix a step further and build a family with him.
So even if Ling didn't pretend to be dead, Zhuo didn't know what to say. From the time he returned home, Zhuo spent all his time digesting what happened outside the park.
When Zhuo pulled Ling's quilt and even called her softly, he already regretted it.
Zhuo stood awkwardly at the end of the bed, not daring to look at Ling's reaction. Although the two had lived together in this small house for a long time, at this moment, Ling hid under the quilt with his head covered, and he was tirelessly pulling the quilt gently. This behavior looked like——
Fortunately, Ling held the line tightly and did not let him succeed, which saved them from an awkward situation of staring at each other in bewilderment. Zhuo was extremely grateful for this. People say that first love can only be a bud forever, but this statement does not seem to apply to the two of them.
Zhuo and Ling's situation is different from that of ordinary people... Well, they are different enough in themselves... But what I'm talking about here is the way they get along with each other. At least Zhuo feels that he and Ling will not have conflicts because of problems in life, which has fundamentally solved most of the problems.
Unless one day Zhuo becomes very diligent and takes care of all the housework, leaving Ling to lie on the sofa all day, making a complete change, then it will work. Only then will they have conflicts over life.
Fortunately, it is unlikely from the perspective of probability. Zhuo feels that he can guarantee that he will never become a diligent man in his life - well, although it is strange that he is so lazy and cunning, and it is really brave that Ling likes him.
So even if Ling acted like an ostrich, as if she was unwilling to face him, Zhuo would not find it strange, let alone get angry. Instead, Zhuo would connect the events before and after and think about her intentions and reasons for doing so.
Then it became clear.
It’s actually very easy to imagine.
Zhuo finally felt amused and greedy, and glanced at the outline of Ling's face through the quilt, then walked to the other bed. Before turning around, he saw Ling's blue eyes secretly peeking at his face from the gap in the quilt. Zhuo pretended not to see it, sat on his own bed, and showed her the relief and joy he had expected.
Ling doesn't need to be so nervous. In fact, Zhuo didn't have any bad thoughts just now. Zhuo just wanted to stay with Ling, but Zhuo didn't know what Ling was thinking.
Because after Zhuo was sure of her confession, he had completely broken free from all shackles, and his heart was so bright and clear that it didn't seem to belong to him anymore. All the entanglements and confusions, struggles and anxieties he had ever had were completely turned over.
It didn't matter how long she had been preparing. The fact that she could accept herself and love herself was a blessing from God, and Zhuo would be grateful for the rest of his life. What's more, Ling had been carrying the same feelings for him for so long. Zhuo felt that he had no regrets in his life.
Zhuo would never doubt that Ling actually hated his contact with... or anything like that. Zhuo had long ago gotten used to believing every word Ling said.
The love process of couples in this world, especially in Japan, is fixed - in fact, it is almost the same all over the world.
But most of them are for that purpose.
Moreover, the two of them had just been together and were back in the small bedroom. Even if they were already familiar with these things, the relationship between Zhuo and Ling had changed. It was no wonder that Ling would think of that aspect.
Zhuo just hopes that Ling understands that they are different from others, and in their own world, they don't need to "talk" about love like others do, following a formula.
They support each other and coexist, but Zhuo won't tell her. Ling is so smart, she will understand one day...
Zhuo originally wanted to think carefully about this unexpected new future, the future between them, but perhaps it was because he suddenly relaxed in his heart, after a while, Zhuo fell into a dream that he had not had for a long time.
