Chapter 322, Zero Razumovskaya Romanov

"…Ah, come to think of it, are we still going to my hometown today on New Year's Day? Or is it better to stay at home?"

After the closing ceremony, Ling went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, and then they returned to Zhuo's house as usual. Zhuo asked her.

The result of the last trip back home was not perfect. Ling's leaving the table midway once made Zhuo's mother think that her son had been dumped. In addition, Zhuo's depressed attitude during that period made her more certain of this. So she started to go back to her old ways and began to take her son to visit girls of the same age everywhere, hoping that Zhuo could get out of the shadow as soon as possible.

After arriving in Tokyo, his mother's greetings did not decrease - perhaps she saw, or more accurately, finally confirmed that her son and Utsunomiya's father were both romantic. Sachiko changed her approach and no longer persuaded Zhuo to meet other girls during the phone call, but asked him to have a good talk with Ling and reconcile.

Although there are some deviations, the results are pretty much the same. I think she is a real mom.

Now that Zhuo and Ling are really together, he must inform his mother about it, so that she won't always worry that her son has fallen into a deep pit and can't get out.

Originally, this matter should have been put on the agenda long ago, but Zhuo was too excited after he started dating Ling, and there were many things to do as the exams were approaching, so he forgot to talk about it. Now that the semester is over, as long as Ling agrees, he should be able to meet his parents in a few days. If he sees Zhuo and his parents in person, I believe his mother will immediately understand the current situation and there will be no need to explain anything.

Hearing Zhuo's question, Ling blinked again and again.

"...Uh, if it's about what happened last time, then you don't have to worry at all. Mom likes you very much."

"No, actually I had already made an appointment with Sa Chiko to go back during the summer vacation, and I have already told her about our situation. I'm sorry that I forgot to tell you about this."

“…I see. I see. Hmm.”

It just occurred to Zhuo that Ling had mentioned something like "asked for help from Sa Chiko" before, but this sentence was placed before "exam agreement...any requirements...", so the impression was not that deep.

No wonder, haha...

"……are you angry?"

"Ah? No, I can't say I'm angry... Well... To be honest, I feel a little complicated. Zero secretly contacted someone without my knowledge, well——"

"..."

Ling probably didn't expect this answer. When she saw Zhuo's frowning expression, she thought he was angry because he "reported it without permission", but...

"That's Zhuo's mother."

"I know, of course I know, Utsunomiya Sachiko, her real name is Hokki Sachiko."

"So Sa Chiko's original surname is Hoki..."

"Yeah, it's rare."

"Ah."

Having said this, the two fell silent for a moment.

Zhuo's eyes looked around, and it was obvious that he was still struggling with the previous incident.

Zhuo knew that he was being petty, and it was reasonable to say that he was petty. After all, that person had zero personal freedom to keep in touch with anyone, not to mention that the person was not only of the same sex but also Zhuo's family. So this incident was just the bitter fruit of Zhuo's excessive possessiveness.

"I think……"

"Ok?"

"I think... after all, since I've adopted a precious son from Sa Chiko, I should at least say hello... right?"

"...Uh...Y-yes, that's not right! I was the one who accepted Zero, right?"

Zhuo thought that the matter was basically settled, so he said that, but Ling was stunned for a moment when he heard his words, and then nodded seriously.

"……zero?"

"Um...it's okay...No, I'm glad to hear Zhuo say that."

"Yes, yes."

"Well, you're happy just to hear what I said." "Do you think I'll tell anyone else... And if I do, I'll be considered a hooligan."

“No ifs.”

"Yes!"

Zhuo tried hard to smile and saluted to express his attitude.

Zhuo will never reach out to other people again, and Ling must know this very well, but even so, he still has some worries and associations...this is possessiveness.

So, not only Zhuo is possessive of Ling, but Ling is the same towards Zhuo.

In this way, Zhuo's mood naturally became much better.

Zero reluctantly pulled his saluting hand down.

During this process, Zhuo saw Ling approaching him, so he touched Ling's head with his lowered hand.

This was not so much about trying to please her, but rather just because she was so lovable that he wanted to touch her. After Zhuo caressed her lovingly, Ling quietly lowered his eyes and let Zhuo fiddle with her.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but she looks very comfortable, so it shouldn’t be bad.

"… Maybe we can still have another year."

"What? Going back to your hometown? But isn't a year too long? Oh, I'm not saying it's not possible, but people will gossip about it~"

"No. I'm talking about what happened earlier."

"We are just talking about returning home, are we reporting it?"

“…That’s not what I meant.”

Ling Yizhuo could barely hear a voice whispering "Fool" and then leaned on his arm...

(By the way, the word “idiot” is also in Russian. Ling had scolded Zhuo several times before, and Zhuo naturally asked about it after they started dating. It was only after he understood the meaning of this sentence that Zhuo realized how important culture is. If he had understood this sentence earlier, their journey together would have been much faster. Of course, Zhuo thinks it’s not bad now. In short, everything is the best arrangement.)
...Zhuo deliberately moved his body backwards, and Ling's body fell on Zhuo's knees.

Humph, do you really think you have no temper?

In the high-altitude vision, the pair of azure blue eyes on her knees were hidden under her eyelids, then appeared again, covered again, and appeared again. Looking at this, Zhuo smiled and stroked her cheek with his palm.

"I don't know what you mean, but I won't let you get away."

“…That’s the place I’m talking about.”

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"Zero Razumovskaya Romanov."

Ling rested his head on Zhuo's knees with his usual calm expression, covered Zhuo's hand on his cheek with his own hand, looked into Zhuo's eyes, and then whispered his name softly.

Although this topic should be very important, she took the initiative to move her face towards me, and Zhuo couldn't help but smile.

"...Can you give me a hint?"

"That's the only thing I can't do."

"Really? Then I'll try my best to guess it."

"……Fool."

This time Lingyong repeated it in a slightly heavier tone, as if he was upset, but it was still a good contrast, so cute. So Zhuo couldn't help but laugh and touched her face again.
