Chapter 334, the first day of school?
"Okay, I admit it. I'm the richest loser in the world, okay?"

"Why does this make you feel different?"

"Because I have money~"

"..."

"So, why do you look so absent-minded?"

Su Enxi put away her smile, asked Zhuo, then turned her body slightly and looked at Zhuo's face.

"Emmmm, how should I put it, I feel that Zero is cuter than before?"

"Why are you giving me dog food just because we don't agree?"

"I'm not saying this to be a dog food, I just think she's starting to change. She used to be so cold, but now she's pretty much the same..."

"Hmm (first tone) ~ I can see ~"

"Yeah, she was so cold when we first met, like an ice sculpture. She glared at me and almost killed me... Now when she glares at me I feel like laughing. That's great."

"The first day of school? That's all thanks to my sister."

"Then thank you~~"

In other words, compared to when they first met, Zero would no longer glare at her for peeking at her.

Even after taking a bath, she could now expose herself to Zhuo without any guard, which was simply unimaginable from her past attitude where she would want to stab herself just by taking a quick glance at him.

Although Zhuo proudly believes that Ling's change is due to her being with him, the process of Ling's growth to where he is today is naturally also due to the contributions of Su Enxi and others. Before meeting Zhuo, there were some things that they supported each other to get through, and there were also some things that only they understood.

Seeing that Ling seemed to be free from shackles, Zhuo also felt happy.

"I feel the same way. I think Sanwu has changed. She used to be like a doll and was hard to approach. Now she is completely playing the role of a wife and pampering you."

"That's what I said... I said."

"Hey, hey, hey, I reminded you before. Her thoughts are so pure and easy to understand. It's obvious that she treats you specially. You wouldn't believe it even if I told you."

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, it's my brother's fault. ...By the way, Sister Enxi, do you think Ling has been treating me like that for a long time..."

“Hey, hey, where’s that arrogant brat from the past—‘Just call me Enxi’ ‘Okay Miss Su Enxi’ where’s that brat?!”

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

"Tsk - I don't even know what you're afraid of if it were me. If it were you, I would have carried you to bed and made it a done deal... Oh, by the way, you can go now. I guarantee with my life that Sanwu will never resist."

"Really."

Zhuo selectively ignored half of Su Enxi's words, retaining only the first half of the sentence, and sighed.

In fact, before they started dating, Zhuo had already vaguely sensed that Ling liked him, but in fact, before he realized this, Ling seemed to treat him differently.

"Three No's is very simple. From the moment she trusted you, it meant that she was interested in you. Then, it was probably at that time that she changed. Or, in other words, she was changed by you."

"I?"

"Yeah~"

"...Is that so?" "There is also the boss's factor. To put it in a positive or negative way, this was his idea from the beginning. I can't really say, but he was the one who let Sanwu go~ But Sanwu didn't know about this. Tsk tsk tsk, I'm afraid the boss has figured all of this out."

"Well, thank him for me, too. I thank him no matter what."

"...You are so manly, little handsome boy. My opinion of you has improved."

"Thank you. Also... after a year, if your boss needs to talk to me about something, just send me a text message secretly."

"It's okay, it's okay. Although the boss is ruthless and has no conscience, he knows how to trade. His previous investment was just because of what you said. And look there, I have never seen Sanwu's eyes like that, full of attachment to life and the future."

Zhuo looked in the direction Su Enxi pointed again and found that Ling and Jiude Mai were chatting face to face. The swimming competition between them seemed to have ended.

From their eyes, it can be seen that the relationship between them is not just a shallow friendship. Even though there was some anger before, Ling probably trusts Mai Jude, and the expression of Ling towards her is more of a wariness than anger. Zhuo is very grateful for the company of these people in the past.

I hope the person Zero trusts most is himself.

Su Enxi seemed to see what Zhuo was thinking, patted Zhuo on the back and said, "Don't worry." Zhuo smiled bitterly, and then Jiude Mai and Ling on the other side stood together and waved over and said, "Hey, Potato Chips, don't get too close to that dazed coward, Sanwu has no intention of swimming with me!"

Zero turned around and glared at Jude Mai, but it seemed to have no effect at all.

"I can't help it. Since the Queen has warned me, I have no choice but to leave."

Su Enxi jumped into the hot spring from the poolside, and the water reached above her waist.

Seeing Su Enxi walking towards the two of them while laughing and teasing Ling, Zhuo also laughed.

……

"Huh, enough fun~"

Although they were all mixed-race people with better physical fitness than ordinary people, these short swims were not a burden at all for them. After all, a hot spring was not a swimming pool. After playing for a few laps, their bodies became hotter and hotter, so they sat by the pool to rest.

Zhuo handed her the orange juice she ordered, and then used a straw to drink the soda he ordered.

"…Are you asking us to come here just because we're bored?"

"Slurp——Don't you feel good instead of bored?"

"I'm sorry, I was rude."

"Mmm-it's okay, come and massage my feet and I'll forgive you."

"Zhuo, give me a sip of your drink."

The four of them lay leisurely on the lounge chairs that the housekeeper had prepared in advance. The sea breeze blowing from the sea was salty and had a unique fishy smell, but it was also cool enough.

Zhuo didn't know how much truth Jude Mai's words had, if her purpose was to stimulate Ling then she had succeeded. Ling pointed at the soda Zhuo was drinking, looked into his eyes and said "I want to try yours", so Zhuo said "I really lost to you", thus avoiding Jude Mai's previous teasing and handed the cup to Ling.

It was obvious that Ling deliberately cut a fork like this in order to prevent Zhuo from feeling too guilty. Zhuo felt his embarrassment and Ling's care bit by bit.

Ling said nothing more about the teasing. She took the soda from Zhuo, took a sip... and then frowned.

It is true that the sour drinks in this mansion are a bit strong, or the carbonation is sufficient, but it is not so excessive that people react. In fact, Zhuo can drink it normally, but Ling seems to be different.
