Chapter 388, reporter Yurina comes to report!
"Zhuo, have you ever pissed off Ling?"
This sudden question made Zhuo turn to look at Yurina, his eyes expressing his confusion.
Yurina came to Zhuo's house to finish the remaining homework from yesterday. Unfortunately, the main person (the one who was supposed to help with the homework) had gone out for something, so Yurina had to work on it alone.
Come to think of it, this was the first time since they graduated from junior high school that Zhuo and Yurina were alone in a room together. It was also because Zero was not there that Yurina asked such a question.
"Why are you asking this suddenly? Are you sick?"
"I'm just... I'm quite curious. Her usual look always makes people imagine... You've thought about it too, right?"
"Haha, no."
"I have! Tell me, tell me—"
"Alas...Zero is actually very good at controlling her emotions rationally. If you think you can make her angry, then that probably hasn't happened. Besides, I don't remember doing anything that would make her angry..."
"Oh oh oh oh?"
"What are you doing?"
"You hesitated! There is definitely a reason! Tell me now!"
"Well……"
Compared to his calmness and indifference towards outsiders, in Zhuo's eyes, Ling, when alone with Zhuo, is basically a kind and not easily angered person. He is also very rational and will separate emotion and reason when considering things - although in the end he will still change his position because of Zhuo's opinion.
Therefore, the threshold for her to get angry was extremely high, and Zhuo also believed that ordinary methods might not really make her angry. Although sometimes she would feel dissatisfied or emotional, he probably had never done anything to really make Ling unhappy.
That being said...
...But maybe it happened before.
The culprit of that incident happened to be the person who asked this ridiculous question - Yurina had mischievously left lipstick marks on his clothes.
Zhuo didn't intend to delve into this matter further.
"I can't say he's angry, he's just ignoring me... I can't say he's ignoring me, he's just deliberately ignoring me, but he won't stay away."
"what are you talking about?"
"Anyway, there was no scene that would make her explode as you imagined."
"Really? I don't believe it. You are so irritating."
"What are you talking about? If you just behave normally, she won't be mad at you."
Generally speaking, people get angry at others mainly when they or someone they care about is harmed, or when they expect to be betrayed.
But for now, the two of them have not had such experience. As for the latter, because Zhuo has always been very clear that Ling is a person who attaches great importance to promises, he has always paid attention to those aspects and never speaks harshly or in anger. He usually cares about Ling's mood.
"What about when there are differences of opinion?"
"Why do people get angry when there are differences of opinion? It's impossible for everyone to have the same values and go in the same direction. Zero has her own ideas, and even if they are different from mine, I will respect her."
Since a similar incident had just happened not long ago, Zhuo's optimism and Ling's prudence had different views, but they could understand each other and help each other relieve their mood or make plans. So Zhuo was quite confident when he said this.
Besides, even if they really want to go to the end together, they are not the same person after all, so their brain circuits cannot be the same. Well, Zero is becoming more and more like him in his living habits, but there are still differences~ Two people may become more and more like each other, but sometimes they will have different ideas.
The reason why there is no dispute is that both parties are willing to listen and respect each other's opinions and ideas.
Zhuo has been influenced by his parents' personal education since he was a child. Or, in other words, he grew up in a family with such a strong atmosphere, so even if he didn't notice it, he couldn't. So Zhuo knows that the secret to staying with someone for a long time and being happy with each other lies in respect and negotiation. He is absolutely sure that he didn't understand it wrong. "For us, a lot of things happened before we got together. At the beginning, we all had our own opinions. But now after two years, we have collided and adjusted to each other to the point where both sides feel comfortable."
"Crash? Comfort?"
"The key is to get used to each other, you guy!!!"
"Okay, okay, it's just that you said something wrong!"
"...Okay, okay, it's not quite right to call it a clash. I think we should just try to understand each other and make life more comfortable."
"Very good... So you don't have any complaints about her?"
Being suddenly asked about his dissatisfaction, Zhuo suddenly felt confused. Yurina was still staring at him intently, so he thought about how to answer.
"Even if you say so..."
"Even if I say so..."
"dissatisfied……"
"dissatisfied……"
“A little bit.”
"I knew it."
"Hey--"
"Keep going~"
"Well... if I have to say, Zero is always very stubborn in some aspects. He always finishes everything before I can react. Although being a useless person is my dream, I always feel guilty about doing this. Even if I ask him to do it, he will sometimes do it for me secretly. I really hope he can assign some work to me."
In the past, Zhuo could still do some of the housework, even helping in the kitchen. After all, the two of them were not together at that time, they just lived in the same room because of an agreement, and after all, it was Zhuo's house, so it was not good not to do anything, which was natural... Now there is basically no chance, even the job of washing dishes, if Zhuo eats slowly, he may not get it.
Zhuo felt that maybe Ling felt uncomfortable because he did nothing and just watched Zhuo working, which was also a problem for Zhuo.
"…I feel like you're doing something similar to her."
"What do you mean?"
"I feel sorry for her because I have nothing to do, but when you take over the job, won't she be the one watching over me?! Is there anyone else?"
"Like sometimes she pushes herself?... It's hard to say the details. Although I think it's unlikely to happen in the future, if something does happen, she will just hold on without saying a word. I really hope that won't happen. It's not good. She should care more about herself."
"……what is this!?!"
"??? What?"
"Forget it, it's nothing... I say, Zhuo, you two really look alike!"
"Huh? Are you kidding me?"
"Humph--"
"I think you look particularly hateful now."
Yurina's poor tsundere attitude but unwilling to speak out made Zhuo a little worried. He also felt that Yurina looked a little angry, so he frowned.
Yurina said a little angrily, "I mean you two are a good match." Then she ignored Zhuo's gaze and lowered her head to do her homework.
