Chapter 328, Social Death

To be honest, even though Zhuo has lived two lives, he has only seen idols wearing swimsuits in magazines and on the screen. To him, Ling's swimsuit is really too dazzling.

"……What's wrong?"

Zero walked to within touching distance, and with a bit of confusion, he dropped his hand to the colorful laces at the base of his legs and asked.

Due to the height difference, Zhuo saw the shadows formed by the fruits hidden under the trimmings and swallowed.

"wash?"

Seeing that Zhuo didn't react, Ling gently touched his arm as if he was puzzled, and Zhuo came back to his senses.

“…Is it inappropriate?”

It couldn't be inappropriate. Or rather, it was too appropriate, and I didn't know where to look.

"No, it's perfect. It's very innocent. I feel like I've been underappreciated for not wearing this swimsuit before."

"Thank you."

It is a slightly embarrassing thing to be able to compliment others directly, but you still have to do it, especially when complimenting women's clothing. Besides, this is the swimsuit that your girlfriend has worked hard to pick out for you. If you don't say a few words of appreciation, you can't be considered a man - because it has been confirmed that the swimsuit is prepared for the hot spring, so it must have been picked out for you.

Thinking of this, after Zhuo finished expressing his thoughts, Ling blinked and lowered his head, looking around at his swimsuit, and then looked around...

However, although Zero avoided his gaze after hearing his compliments, he seemed to be relieved. Although it was not visible on his face, I think the usually serious Zero would feel embarrassed to wear such a swimsuit.

Although Zhuo felt that it would be fine to wear a one-piece swimsuit with more fabric if she was confused, this was the result of Ling's careful selection after all, so Zhuo was not going to give any advice.

anyway.

Even if Zero really put on a one-piece swimsuit, it would be even worse considering her physique and appearance.

Even so, Zhuo now needs to avoid being looked at.

Although it is a man's right to enjoy his girlfriend's appearance in a swimsuit, if he stares at her for too long, he may experience death in various aspects, such as social death and physiological death, so this cannot be achieved.

From Zhuo's perspective, the chest area has very low defense. Although it lacks exaggerated offensiveness, it is quite effective against Zhuo, especially when he can't look directly at it. I really am not a loli control. At least I wasn't before.

“Although it’s true that it’s suitable.”

"but?"

"……That does not work."

Zhuo took off his cloak-like bathrobe and placed it on Ling's shoulders.

Ling was petite to begin with, and the bathrobe she wore could only be hidden up to her thighs, which was enough to block her view.

Of course, the exquisite curves of the legs would also attract his attention, but after all, he couldn't cover the entire leg, so there was nothing he could do about it. Zhuo just had to try his best to control himself.

"that's it."

"..."

"Put it on."

“…We’re about to get into the water.”

"That's also necessary."

"…If I say you don't want me to walk with my back bent, then put it on."

This is the truth.

Although Zhuo knew that he would not be able to control his gaze when he saw Ling's naked skin, and Ling's well-proportioned ideal body shape would definitely attract men's attention, Zhuo did not want to experience the feeling of death. If possible, he would wait a few years until Zhuo could adapt to it. However, it seemed that there was no chance. Zhuo did not intend to expose Ling's appearance to others, and he hoped to have him all to himself.

After Zhuo whispered the truth into Ling's ear, Ling lowered her head and replied blankly, "...Okay..." while starting to tie her belt. At the same time, she never looked at Zhuo.

After quickly tying the belt around his waist, most of his body was covered, and Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief. "Do I have to keep this covered?"

"Well, when I can't see you anymore, like after we get into the water, you can let go."

"…Zhuo is so unwilling?"

"No, I really want to watch it, but I will die after watching it."

"Why did he die..."

Zero seemed a little dumbfounded after hearing his speech.

Zhuo is also a man and has the desire to see, but he cannot end up squatting, otherwise he will die socially and spiritually.

Zhuo didn't give Ling time to think, and held Ling's small hand, which was exposed only when he rolled up his sleeves under his loose clothes.

"Come on, let's go."

"Ah."

Ling nodded slightly and held Zhuo's hand in return, and Zhuo walked slowly with her.

No matter how you look at it, they were going to go into the water after all, and Zhuo originally planned to hold her hand to prevent her from slipping, but a lot of it was due to nervousness, after all, there might already be someone in the hot spring pool, so he had to make it clear in advance and hold Ling's hand.

Zhuo walked uprightly beside Ling, heading towards the hot spring pool.

Just as he was on the road, Ling beside him murmured "...Zhuo" and looked up at him.

"Ok?"

"Don't you like me wearing this kind of clothes?"

"How is that possible? I just don't dare to look at it because I like it so much. Do you really want to see me embarrassed?"

If he really kept staring at her, his body might be in danger, so Zhuo had been careful to know when to stop. But when Ling asked him about it, he deliberately exaggerated it a little as if he was joking, and then Ling showed a thoughtful expression.

She was troubled for about ten seconds, then held hands and further shortened the distance between her and Zhuo.

Rather than shortening the distance, it was more like pressing the arm. The unique touch of a girl through the bathrobe instantly made Zhuo's limbs uncoordinated.

"Zero, it's here." (Not a typo, just harmony)

"Should I say 'I did it on purpose' at this time?"

"Well, this tough attitude makes me feel like this is the time when we first met."

"Sometimes I have to be like this in front of you. Zhuo always gets stuck in inexplicable places."

Every blow draws blood——

Today's Zero seems to be a demon...

Even so, her own condition was not much better. Her arm, which was deliberately pressed against him, was stiff and her body was shaking from time to time, but she kept a straight face and did not intend to leave, deliberately pressing the bear against Zhuo's arm. (Harmony)

Because it hit the elbow, Zhuo couldn't move his right hand easily. If he bent his arm, his elbow would sink into Ling's bear.

"…It's okay if you insist on being mean, but I'm going to enjoy myself."

"Even I would be embarrassed if you said it so bluntly...but it doesn't matter."

"...Stop talking like that. I'm the one who's embarrassed to say such things without any expression."

Zhuo didn't expect that she would reply so directly and said that she would accept it, and said in a low voice.

Contrary to what I said, in order not to be aware of the soft touch on my arm, I ended up having to keep repeating in my head the value of pi that I had been asked to memorize before... So this is where pi comes in. Sansai had good intentions.
