Chapter 398, New Class
"Thank you very much...but is this too much trouble for you?"

"Get lost, get lost. You were so confident when you bought on credit, why are you pretending now? I don't think there will be any movement regarding that boy Tong Gu for a while, so let me help you here. I can also help with the ring matter."

"… Well, I'm afraid it might be really troublesome for you to choose a store."

"Hey, leave it to me."

The proposal will naturally involve the ring, which is also a key point of Zhuo's work. When it comes to choosing a ring, you can't just do it on your own. Relationships and references are both needed. It's best to listen to Yurina's opinions in this regard. If possible, I hope both of them can help.

However, things are still far away, and Zhuoxian made a vague promise, so things may change.

After Uesugi Yue finished speaking, he said, "I will contact you again, or I may go directly to the school to talk to you," and then hung up the phone.

……

"…part-time job, huh?"

When they got home, Ling was still resting in the living room. Zhuo greeted her and she looked over, seeming surprised.

By the way, both parents were cooking in the kitchen because Zero said he wanted to have them cook for dinner.

"Why do I need to work now? I'm already in my third year of high school and it's time to start preparing for exams."

No matter what, he couldn't even hide his part-time job. After Zhuo spoke frankly, Lingpao asked a very reasonable question.

Zhuo's plan was to keep it as secret as possible until it was sent out. After Zhuo spoke frankly, Ling raised extremely reasonable questions.

Zhuo's plan was to keep it as secret as possible until the child was sent out, but he also knew that the third year of high school had already begun, and it would be a bit unnatural to start working part-time now. After all, with the economy now turning around, Lian Ling had quit his part-time job and chose to stay at home.

"Well, actually I wanted to buy something, but I had to buy it so I couldn't help it."

"Especially?"

"It's also to gain social experience. So it's a multi-faceted purpose, and we can't back down because of this. Of course, the class schedule will definitely not affect our studies. I estimate that some people will quit the club in half a year. By then, I should have saved enough money, and I should be able to come back and concentrate on studying before the real exam preparation stage. As for grades, even if we don't plan to go to college, I don't plan to let it fall behind, and even if it declines, I won't use working as an excuse."

Because Zhuo didn't work part-time or join clubs, he was a so-called homebody, so he had more time than those who joined clubs. If you really count it, even after working part-time, his study time is about the same as others.

It's just that this will shorten the time I spend at home. If it was in the past, it wouldn't be a big deal, and it could even be considered as progress. Now that I'm no longer alone at home, it's inevitable that there will be some differences...

Zhuo looked at Ling seriously, and Ling lowered his eyebrows in embarrassment.

"It's not my place to say anything about this. Since you've given it serious thought, I respect your decision. It's just that we'll spend less time together... and you might get lonely."

The slightly lonely and lost feeling almost shook Zhuo's determination, but he could not give in on this point, so he smiled gently.

"I'm sorry. Correspondingly, I will communicate in advance to stay at home during the holidays."

"……is that so."

"of course."

“…This seems to be a bit problematic.”

"Why!"

"Because when Zhuo says this, he always overdoes it."

"Aren't you lonely..."

"There has to be a limit, otherwise I will..."

Ling stopped talking halfway, lowered her eyes, and leaned on Zhuo's arm. Zhuo took it as a rehearsal, holding Ling's hand and letting her lean closer. %''

After the class adjustment after the winter vacation, the enthusiasm for the new year in the school has not completely dissipated, and there is still a sense of euphoria among the students.

The class was also 20% more lively than usual. Sometimes students would quietly talk about how someone in a certain class had started dating someone else, which made people intuitively experience the impact of the new semester on the interactions between men and women.

Occasionally, new classmates would look here, looking at Zero, maybe someone was discussing how Zero looked like during the New Year. If so, they would be disappointed, because Zero stayed in his old house during the New Year to take care of someone, and he rarely wore his kimono and bathrobe, and he didn't participate in the worship.

"Let's go, go back."

Ren stood up from his seat with a tired look and immediately came to Zhuo's side.

Zhuo stood up, waved his hand, said "OK" and observed Ren's expression.

It seems that not going to Class A is a very important thing for Ren. He has obviously worked harder, but his expression seems normal at the moment, which makes Zhuo feel relieved.

"Romanov is coming too. Today... huh?"

"?"

Of course, Ren also greeted Zero who was standing next to him, but when he saw Zero's face, he narrowed his eyes in surprise.

Ren looked at it for a while as if examining it, then scratched his face and said.

"... I said Zhuo, come here."

"Ok?"

"Hey, just come if I ask you to."

Ren didn't know why he asked Zhuo to go out, so Zhuo frowned and was taken to a corner of the classroom by Ren.

Then, as if she didn't want to be heard, she came forward and whispered.

"I say, did you and Romanov cross that line?"

"Um!?"

"Hey, why would I call you here? I think she has changed a little bit... Look at how she followed your lead just now, and she stood up to greet you, but was just a step slower, like she's married..."

After hearing Ren say that Ling had changed a little, Zhuo took a look at Ling. She was helping Zhuo organize his things and put them into his bag at his desk. When she noticed this, she looked over here in confusion. When their eyes met, she tilted her head in confusion.

"Well, you could say she's more attractive...it feels like she's completely yours now."

"...Let me make it clear first, it's not what you think."

"Oh! What happened?"

Zhuo finished speaking vaguely, and Ren smiled evilly as if he had seen through everything. So Zhuo used his fist to hit Ren's side waist to destroy that irritating face.

When it comes to pushing, Zhuo did use some strength, but Ren smiled and said, "Don't be shy." It seems that this didn't have much effect on Ren.

Zhuo angrily stepped on it again and sighed softly.

Although Zhuo has always known that Ren has amazing observation skills, he was still sweating when he could detect these changes so keenly. However, no matter what, he couldn't tell a third person about what happened between him and Ling. Even if this would make Ren feel itchy, there was nothing he could do.
