Chapter 316, Feeling Unwell

"It's a bit of a pity, but Zhuo's fitness level has become much healthier."

"After all this effort, the result is just a healthy evaluation? I want to give up even more."

"Then... good boy? You are really amazing if you are serious~"

Feeling Ling's gentle eyes patting his back, Zhuo felt itchy. He couldn't fight back because he had an umbrella and their bags in his hands, so he could only look up at the sky.

The sky is still gray, but there is a pleasant feeling.

Perhaps part of the reason is that the current rain and snow are mild and not severe.

However, Zhuo also knew that the main factor that influenced his views was the existence of the people around him.

"Although there are some annoying things, it's not bad to go home with Zero in the snow like this. Snowy days also have their advantages. The sky and air are unique, and I like them very much. Taking a quiet walk on a day like this is also very special... Come to think of it, the first time we met was in similar weather, and it really scared me at that time. But... well, I like this kind of weather more now."

Although many people hate this kind of weather, when Zhuo recalled what happened in the past, it seemed that every time an unexpected event broke his peace, it was in similar weather.

But now, for the same reason, Dan Zhuo is enjoying the quiet and mild atmosphere of this weather.

Whether it was the dull and quiet light cast by an overcast sky, the gentle sound of the wind brushing past his ears, the faint smell of rain seeping through the air, or the rooftops dotted with a layer of white that seemed to have accumulated vibrantly and were dotted with faded snow, he liked them all.

To Zhuo, rainy days are not just bleak and depressing scenery. The air and scenery under the drizzle make him feel happy.

And, Zero is still by his side.

Just holding her hand gently, the world in front of me becomes colorful. As long as you change your mindset when looking at things, as long as there is someone beside you, the scenery will become peaceful and stay in your heart for a long time. The two of you walking side by side is beautiful enough.

"Because many of my memories with Zero are on rainy days, I like rainy days. I think the leisurely time of walking in the rain like now is also an irreplaceable and precious experience."

Although there were some other accidents, they also happened on rainy days.

But Zhuo still thinks that the fact that they finally walked together slowly is meaningful in itself. Time cannot be reversed, and Zhuo cherishes the present time very much.

"Wasn't the first time we met the time after gym class when you peeked at my thighs?"

"Well... on rainy days there will be fewer people in the supermarket, so there will be a lot of discounted items left. Although there is no need to buy instant bento now, there are still other things to choose from~"

"Zhuo, a little stiff."

"If you know, don't say it."

Finally, Zhuo smiled and said this reason why he liked rainy days as if jokingly, but because Ling ruthlessly exposed him in the middle, although Zhuo wanted to make a comeback, he was no longer the same as before. Ling shook his head helplessly at first, and then gradually revealed a gentle look in his eyes.

"Okay, I get it... Is this the experience Zhuo has accumulated from living alone for so many years? I'm glad to learn from you... I also know this."

"This is great, it just shows that we get along well."

“I didn’t say anything bad.”

Ling gently squeezed the arm of Zhuo, as if testing the condition of his muscles from recent exercise. Then he slowly calmed down his breathing and looked up at Zhuo with calm eyes.

"He can live an ordinary yet splendid life. Zhuozhen is a person who is good at finding different pleasures in what he sees and feels."

"Wow, is this a compliment?"

"Yeah, that's amazing. I think it's a really great quality to be able to find joy in different things and different perspectives."

"Don't, don't praise me... If you want to know why the things I see are so bright, it's because you stayed with me in the end. If the final result was not like this, I would definitely be the person who hates rain the most in the world. Besides, you also taught me a lot of things I didn't know. Please give me more advice in the future."

Ling first showed an envious look, and then murmured with a little loneliness. Zhuo looked her in the eyes and told her that all this happened because of her. Ling's azure eyes shook slightly, as if they were about to ooze water.

However, that did not mean she was sad, her joy was almost bursting through her cheeks and being expressed in words.

"Please give me your guidance in the future." "Of course."

I don't know if Ling noticed that her words showed that she was willing to let Zhuo stay by her side in the future. Zhuo hoped that he could keep this position forever.

But he had no intention of giving up this position, no matter what happened.

Zhuo held Ling's hand and smiled, then looked at her. Her face showed the most relaxed expression of the day.

"Well, how about teaching Zero some new rainy day fun today?"

"What is it?"

"Today, let's splurge and order a takeaway. Then we can go home and watch some TV or listen to some music and spend our time leisurely. You can't force yourself on a day like this. It would be better to relax a little. After all, your mood and physical condition today are not good... Don't be like last time, curled up like a shrimp in pain~"

Zhuo stared at Ling's azure eyes without blinking. Perhaps Zhuo had guessed it, Ling's shoulders shook slightly and his gaze began to wander.

In fact, Zhuo felt something was wrong before going to school, and it was only after arriving at the classroom that he was truly convinced that Ling was not in good health.

She was listless and not as good as usual, which was covered up by the overall gloomy atmosphere of the rainy and snowy day. Moreover, her movements seemed a little slow, as if she didn't want to move.

If you count the time, it’s these few days.

As for the special period of a girl, it is private, so Zhuo will not tell it. In short, even if Ling pretends to be energetic, Zhuo can still see that something is wrong with her. Zhuo plans to let Ling take a rest today and not force herself.

Zhuo looked at Ling cautiously, and Ling sighed again as if he had accepted his fate, and leaned his head on Zhuo's upper arm as he walked.

"…I really can't hide anything."

"You're not good at this anyway. If you're not feeling well, you should tell me. This poor disguise will only make it more obvious."

"Crappy?"

"Don't try to trick me into telling you. You can't fool me no matter how hard you try, so don't do it next time."

Ling looked up at him steadily.

Zhuo thought that Ling still wanted to know the reason so that he could hide it from him next time, so he would not compromise. Zhuo then gently squeezed the hand he was holding. The hand was colder than usual, and it was definitely not just due to the weather.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually pretty good at ordering takeout... Is there anything you want to eat? Look for me to call the delivery number right away."

"Rice is fine. I made some extra dishes this morning. You can just heat it up and eat it."

Seeing that Ling insisted on the theme of 'thriftiness' but no longer resisted Zhuo's help, Zhuo knew that she might be feeling uncomfortable today, and then he felt a little annoyed. If only he had discovered it earlier.

Zhuo held Ling's hand again and smiled. Ling also leaned his weight towards Zhuo, no longer trying to hide his slightly tired expression.

"What a good taste! I'm really good at cooking."

"Yes, I know. What I want to eat is boiled rice."

Zhuo thought that Ling chose to cook at home due to "financial" considerations instead of ordering a more convenient delivery. However, it seemed that she really wanted to eat the food made by Zhuo - even though it only involved cooking and heating the rice.

"Ha, looks like I need to show off my best skills—"

Zhuo said this while lifting up the biceps of his other arm as if joking. Ling also slowly hugged his other arm and responded with "I'm looking forward to it", looking quite lazy.

It is a very rare state of zero.

Zhuo had a gentle expression on his face and walked back home with Ling.
