Chapter 37, and zero one two three four five six.

"I'm sorry." Zhuo Lao apologized honestly.

If I continue reading this, I might make Zero unhappy. Besides, their relationship isn't that good, so this would be a bit presumptuous.

Zero shook his head slightly to show that he didn't care.

Despite this, her face still looked a little unnatural, which meant that she was still not feeling well.

After Zhuo apologized again, he found a pair of disposable chopsticks he got from the convenience store and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

The high-end dishes that Ling had forced upon him were opened layer by layer and arranged in rows.

The lunch box has three layers. The bottom layer contains rice with distinct grains, the top layer contains steak with sauce, and the middle layer contains a vegetable platter with a combination of meat and vegetables.

You can tell at first glance that it was made by a chef. Just from the appearance, you can tell that it is not simple.

Although eating steak with chopsticks has been criticized by some people, Zhuo had no intention of switching to a knife and fork. He started tasting the vegetables and shrimps on the second layer.

I chewed it carefully and it tasted very good.

After all, it is a dish from a high-end restaurant, so the taste is naturally good, but... a little too sweet.

Japanese food tends to be sweet, and now it seems that even the food in high-end restaurants is no exception.

Deng!
The low table made a slight sound. Zhuo lowered his head to look at the table leg that made the sound, then turned back to look at the high-quality steak that was lying idle on the side.

At some point, the blonde loli had already sat very close, with both knives drawn at the same time, and was lowering her head to cut the steak in the lunch box into small pieces.

Noticing Zhuo's gaze, the blonde girl didn't raise her head and said calmly, "Sorry, I didn't control my strength well."

"Well, it's an old table, this is normal," Zhuo blinked, "You didn't eat?"

Ling's hands kept moving. He gathered the cut steaks together neatly and pushed the lunch box towards him.

"Ate."

Zhuo understood: "So...?"

Zero said expressionlessly, "This is for you."

After saying that, Ling took out two small plates from the back of the top lunch box, opened the sealing film of the small plates with his slender white fingers, and pushed them in front of him again.

Zhuo lowered his head and took a look, and saw that there was soy sauce and mirin in it.

After all, he is a poor man who is used to living like this. How come he didn’t notice that this thing was hidden?

"Thank you...

Zhuo felt a little embarrassed. This behavior was too intimate, but their relationship had not reached that point, so he was very uncomfortable.

However, Zhuo still knew that Ling did all this in order to win him over.

"This is soy sauce, and this is mirin with black pepper." Ling introduced them with his little finger.

Zero's service is so attentive that I really want to deliver it to his mouth myself.

"Well, I can see that, but..." Zhuo thought for a moment and decided to say it: "Mr. Romanov, remember what I said before, a sense of distance, a sense of boundaries... Anyway, let me do it."

Zero placed the knife across the lunch box and said matter-of-factly, "This is my mission."

"Yeah, that's obvious." Zhuo nodded. He wouldn't be so naive as to think that Ling did these things because she liked him.

But the problem is... he may not be able to withstand it!
A beautiful girl came to the door, brought food, distributed steaks, and did a series of thoughtful little things, and then put on an expression that said "this is all natural"...

Which cadre can withstand such a test! ?
Zhuo felt a headache.

He sighed and resigned himself to his fate: "Forget it, let's not do this kind of thing again. I'm not used to it."

"Okay." Zero responded softly without any expression, like a robot just following orders.

If only she were really a robot, Zhuo wouldn't have to be so embarrassed.

Zhuo doesn't hate Ling.
On the contrary, he was afraid that he would fall in love with her, which was absolutely unacceptable. Be well-versed in human nature, observe people and their words, and marry a virtuous wife. The words of our ancestors have been passed down for thousands of years and contain wisdom.

When you like someone, you should not only look at the appearance, but also do what you can... If the gap is too big, when you look back in the end, you often feel helpless, sad and regretful.

The gap between him and Ling is huge. If he falls in love with her, he will definitely get hurt. Zhuo is very clear about this.

As I said, do things within your ability.

After that, Zhuo didn't say anything else. He just lowered his head and ate without looking up the whole time.

After finishing his meal, he let out a long sigh and lay down on the sofa to relax. Ling was still sitting beside him, motionless.

Another two minutes passed,

Zhuocai turned to look at the blonde loli on the side and thanked her again: "Thank you for the treat, it's delicious."

Ling also turned his head and nodded slightly.

"Can I ask a question?" Zhuo said.

Zero nodded again.

"Is your purpose of coming to Neon to study just to win me over?" Zhuo asked.

There is no record of Ling's experiences before Long Yi, that is, before 2009, so Zhuo doesn't know whether she went to school in Neon.

"..." Zero was silent for a rare moment.

Given her previous style, this shouldn't have happened.

She has never been the indecisive type, she would just go ahead and speak her mind when she has something to say...but this time it was an accident.

Zero thought for two seconds: "I think... it should be."

"Should?" Zhuo asked.

"Yeah, that's it." Zero admitted indifferently.

That wasn't the case at the beginning.
Or rather, you didn't know it at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Zhuo suddenly laughed for no reason.

Ling looked at him doubtfully, thinking that the man in front of him was a little silly: "Is this important to you?" You look very happy.

"No, no, no, ah, no, how should I put it..." Zhuo lay on the sofa like an old man, with an undisguised smile on his face. He thought for a while and said, "It can be considered important. I had a very good impression of you at the beginning. You came here specially to apologize to me, helped me solve the problem, and even invited me to dinner..."

Zhuo paused: "He also sent me back that night... I just think that if you did all this with a purpose, then I would be too pathetic. Now that I know that you had no purpose in the beginning, of course I will be happy..."

"...After all, you are the famous Queen of our school!" Zhuo added with a smile.

"..." Ling listened carefully, roughly understood what he meant, and said lightly: "I sent you home that night with a purpose."

“Uh——” Zhuo’s face froze, and he said with a frown: “Can’t you just let me be proud for a while!”

Zero blinked, "Okay, I just lied to you. I had no purpose that night."

wash:"……"

Zhuo looked at her for two seconds, then looked away, rested his head on the sofa pillow, and looked up at the ceiling above.

Although she is cold and has no expression, she is really serious about what she does!

Zhuo felt complicated, and before he knew it, he seemed to have gotten used to Ling's nonsense.
