Chapter 374, Yurina visits
"Why do you only think of me for things like this? Where are Hawaiian specialties, gifts for returning home, souvenirs for visiting?"

"Hmm... I do have some swimsuits left, I can..."

"Besides, you can also do it with Ren, he has already finished it, and he is very helpful. After all, he is also doing it according to the schedule. If you learn from him, you won't be so miserable now."

"Um..."

"By the way, you really only think of me for things like this, and you gave all the other benefits to Ren, right? You have no sense of loyalty. If you don't save me, I'll die, Ji."

"Student Romanov bullied me."

Zhuo felt that what he said was right, but he didn't expect that Yurina would actually go to Ling to beg for mercy.

By the way, although Zhuo didn't know the specific reason, he could vaguely guess some of the reasons. Zero had been standing behind Zhuo since Yurina entered the door, and he had been observing the expressions of the two people when Zhuo was talking. Although Zhuo felt that he had a clear conscience, it was precisely because of this that Zhuo put the brakes on Yurina when she joked that "you can give me the remaining swimsuit as a gift".

However, what Zhuo didn't expect was that Ling went to pour Yurina's juice and came back with a glass filled with orange liquid on the tray.

"Zhuo, I think I can help."

Ling placed the juice in front of Yurina, but looked into Zhuo's eyes quietly and said this. After doing this, he handed the orange juice to Zhuo.

"Look~" Yurina said proudly, her eyes seemed to say "You should learn from Romanov."

However, Zero was not on Yurina's side. Rather, she just said "she felt", which was just an idea. Having said that, she actually finished her homework early, so the content was not difficult for her at all.

Although Ling can analyze the principles of everything through words, she still did her homework step by step, saying that it would be bad to leave it alone, so she solved those things. And by the way, Zhuo completed the homework by learning from Ling's ideas and solutions in this process.

Her answers were basically the same as the standard answers, so Zhuo had to add some of his own ideas while drawing on them to ensure the error rate.

“Huhu~ I really want to show Zhuo’s arrogant face now to the Zhuo who could only wail alone during the summer vacation before I confessed my feelings~”

"Ku, wait for death! Send!"

Although there were some confusing elements in it, what Yurina was talking about was exactly the past self of Zhuo. Zhuo, who was hit by Zhenglun, couldn't say anything.

When Yurina saw that Zhuo was unable to speak, she laughed triumphantly.

Zhuo glanced at her with his eyes slanted, thinking: Look, this is what the gentle and shy little girl you had a crush on in school really looks like...

Zero continued to be as calm as ever and did not choose to interrupt. Instead, he silently pushed Yurina's orange juice on the desk towards her, then slowly withdrew his hand and looked at her.

"Uh, Romanov, do you have anything to say…?"

"Well, Zhuo probably won't help you."

"Wu——Why——Aren't you my friend?!"

"No, but I can help you."

"Uuuuuu——"

"Ah~ How can I continue to watch since you helped me, Ling... Come on."

"wash……"

"No, I am enough on my own."

Zero naturally cut off the helping hand that Zhuo also extended. Zhuo looked at Zero, then shrugged at Yurina, pretending to be indifferent and saying "how pitiful", and drank the orange juice that Zero brought over.

It was just a sophomore class, so it wasn't a problem for Ling. If there were really some time issues, or if Ling felt tired, Zhuo would take over for her. But Ling would definitely not show her tiredness, so Zhuo needed to watch over her closely.

Seeing Yurina lamenting that "I have to write half of it now" instead of one third, Zhuo wondered whether he should buy some sweets later and looked at Zero's profile. ...

"I'm so tired..."

Yurina worked desperately on her homework, taking a short break at noon, but now she was sitting on the carpet next to the low table with her legs stretched out and apart, looking extremely tired.

Although it was okay for Yurina to wear long pants today, if she wore a skirt, you could see inside. Zhuo's eyes were filled with helplessness at Yurina's carelessness.

By the way: Look, this is the gentle goddess in your eyes.

"What if you kick the table over?"

"Then kneel down and beg for mercy."

"You are amazing, Miss Yamamoto. Even the fifty-six are not as good at taking advantage of opportunities as you are. You should be more careful, because Zero is responsible for the cleaning work. She has worked very hard to help you with your homework."

Although Zero carefully took the cup off the table before Yurina was about to have fun, there was no need to worry, but if it was still there, something could happen.

Although Zhuo wouldn't really be mad at Yurina even if it spilled on the carpet, since the consequences would basically be left to Zero to clean up, and considering how troublesome it would be to clean the carpet, Zhuo didn't want that to happen.

"Woo woo~~Forgetting one's principles for a beautiful woman——"

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Wow, you are disloyal. Romanov~~~"

"If Zhuo says no, then no."

"Ouch—alright."

Zero didn't look back in the kitchen, but he could see her shaking her head slightly.

Faced with Zero's busy attitude of washing the cups after helping her with her homework, Yurina couldn't show dissatisfaction at being rejected. Instead, she showed a look of admiration.

"Although there is nothing I can do, it's really amazing..."

"what?"

"Lululu, if I don't tell you, you will forget your principles just because of a beautiful woman!!!"

Because Yurina suddenly jumped up and pulled her eyelids with one hand to make a face at her, Zhuo once again deeply felt this guy's moody personality.

……

"Let me count. What I want to buy is chocolate cake, chocolate cake, and chocolate cake, right?"

"It's chocolate, raw chocolate, and cheese and bitter chocolate cake! Since it's a reward, get serious and go buy it now."

"That's a lot of requirements... but it's not that far away..."

"Hurry up! If the cake gets cold, it will lose its soul!"

"What is that?"

Because there is a commercial street not far away, it doesn't take long to walk, and because it's the beginning of a new semester, I got my living allowance, so buying some snacks is affordable for the Utsunomiya family. So it's no problem.

Zhuo ignored Yurina's suspicious look and stood at the entrance to change his shoes and prepare to go out. Because winter cakes are especially popular, they may have been sold out now, but it's always a good idea to leave early.
