Chapter 345: Don't you plan to take me with you?

Zero sat on the sofa in silence, probably because he couldn't explain the new clothes he changed into to cover up the red marks.

“Aa ...

"Nothing at all."

"I didn't say anything either."

All he did was simple physical contact such as holding hands and hugging. The reason why it became beyond the limit later was that Ling always spoke directly from his heart, and Zhuo couldn't bear it.

So Zhuo had no right to say anything. But he was good at pretending nothing had happened, and now he looked like he had regained his composure.

"She said there was nothing, but she didn't deny wanting to make out."

"We were dating, and those things were normal. And what I'm talking about is definitely healthy intimacy."

"I confessed it boldly."

"Long-winded."

"It's so unfair that there's only Zhuo. I also want to be intimate with Ling-chan..."

"Impossible, it's enough for you to go find your father. Zero is..."

"Ah, Mamma—"

Although he didn't say the complete sentence "Zero is mine", I'm sure Saeko and Zero could understand the meaning of this sentence. Although I'm sorry, if I give Zero to Saeko, I'll feel jealous. For a while, Saeko will take care of Zero, and Zhuo will feel anxious, and Zero will feel tired even if he won't be unhappy. Therefore, Saeko's idea of ​​having Zero all to herself can only go down the drain.

Ling just sat there quietly, without any intention of denying Zhuo's previous statement of his position. This look of tacit agreement made the smile on Sa Chiko's face deepen.

Zhuo ignored Sha Qianzi's implicit smile and looked at Ling sitting there with his snow-white neck covered.

Hearing this, father Shuichi also smiled kindly and shook his head.

"How about going out and having some fun as a family?"

"what?"

"You see, Romanov came to our house on purpose. If you stay at home all the time, even if you don't feel anything, you will miss a lot of memories... You should still be here this weekend, so let's go to the hot springs then."

"That's right! We finally have this opportunity, so we should go play together as a family! ... Ling-chan, don't you want to go?"

"No, everything is up to you."

"Then let's settle it. Huhu, where should we go..."

Sachiko's voice was filled with joy as she discussed in a friendly manner with Shuichi "which hot spring is better to visit". Rei turned around and looked at Shuu in confusion.

Zhuo told Ling that they would go to the hot spring together next time, and suggested that they go just the two of them and treat it as a date. However, Ling seemed to have not expected that Zhuo's parents would bring up this topic now, and his deep blue eyes blinked repeatedly.

This was probably because the other party was Zhuo's parents, so she didn't know what to do.

(…But my parents said they wanted to go play together because they like Zero.)
Although Zhuo had never had the experience of bringing friends home to visit since he was a child, he knew that even if Zhuo made a suggestion, his parents would not spend time with people they disliked. They were completely the same type of people as Zhuo (a family).

After all, before she came back with Zero during the summer vacation, the fact that she was allowed to come to their house alone meant that her parents liked her very much. Since they said they wanted to go out and play together, there was no point in worrying.

"Be prepared. Your parents won't take you with them even when you go to the hot springs."

"No, I'm not really a child anymore. I'm very grateful and happy. After all, we haven't been out together like this for a long time..."

Ling listened to the conversation between Zhuo and his parents quietly throughout the whole process. In the silent conversation, she lowered her eyes with a little loneliness. Perhaps she felt that this scene was out of tune with her.

And Sa Chiko still had a smile on her face as she sat next to Zhuo on the sofa, which was on the other side of Zero.

Then, he hugged Ling and stroked her head.

"Oh my, Ling-chan is such a cute girl but she's not my daughter. Zhuo must try harder~" "She's closer to me than my daughter now."

"Ara, jealous?"

"No~No~ But don't hold me for too long, Daddy is over there."

Being gently embraced by Sa Chiko, Zero lost his usual cold aura and became quite quiet.

This behavior is proof that Zero, who is not good at expressing his emotions, feels happy.

Zhuo was very happy that Ling could accept his parents. After all, Zhuo also hoped to become a real family with her in the future, so he welcomed the acceptance of his parents.

It’s just that Sha Qianzi was a little too greedy, which made Zhuo feel complicated.

"You've really grown up~"

"Do you take me for a fool?"

"No, I just feel that I have raised you to be a man who can wish the person he likes to be happy."

"You don't need to tell me that."

"Fufu, there aren't many people like him, especially nowadays. He is indeed the son of Shuichi and I."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Zhuo thinks that no matter who you are, you will not want the person you like to be happy. If not, then it is definitely not love. After all, no matter what, it is best for the other person to live a carefree life.

If you insist, Zhuo can't be completely magnanimous. He just wants to be the one who makes her happy.

Seeing Ling being held in Sa Chiko's arms like a child, Zhuo raised the corners of his mouth gently.

……

The sky was bright and dark in waves, and the bottom of the gloomy clouds seemed to have formed wispy overhangs.

This is called the Rain Banner.

It is the product of evaporation of raindrops during the falling process. (I didn’t expect that reading online novels can also learn knowledge)

"Zhuo, where are you going?"

When Zhuo was bending down to put on his shoes at the door, Ling noticed that Zhuo was about to go out, so he walked towards him and asked.

Now he has returned to his hometown for several days. It is now around three or four o'clock, shortly before dinner. It is a bit late to go out now, so Ling asked him.

"Hmm? Ah, let's go for a walk around the neighborhood. I'm a little bored staying at home lately."

Zhuo didn't go out just because he wanted to.

Just now, Zhuo received a message on his phone. It was sent by Feng Jian Liuli, saying that he was already nearby, and in order not to disturb their family, he asked Zhuo to go out and meet him.

Although there was no problem for Zhuo to talk to Fengjian Liuli when he was free, he still hoped that this guy would not appear suddenly every time, and hoped that he could tell him earlier.

For example, today's weather is very bad.

Ling seemed to understand what Zhuo said. He nodded, then knelt down on the ground and sat next to Zhuo who was tying his shoelaces.

Was it because his hair was curled up? Zhuo knew from the mirror hanging on the wall of the entrance and by feeling that Ling was using his fingers to comb his hair.

"Aren't you going to take me with you?"
