Chapter 40, Shanye is clumsy, and so am I.

As a result, this kind of feeding, which is done on time and accurate to the second, continues almost every day.

Including school time.

The time of 7:30 AM was really clever. Zhuo didn't go out, so Ling brought him breakfast and lunch together, and then left alone.

It gives me a feeling that I am a delivery man and I have no emotions...

After that, Zhuo has half an hour to eat, so he has enough time to finish breakfast before going out.

Of course, I went out alone.

To be honest, even if he is no longer psychologically distant from Zero, he will not deliberately get close to Zero. It is hard to say what the purpose is; it is purely a personal idea.

He felt that Zero thought the same.

The two seemed to have formed a silent understanding... Mission is mission, life is life... The positive and negative sides of the world were completely divided into two parts.

Even if you open the door on time every day, you can foresee who is standing behind the door.

At school, the relationship between him and Zero was no different from before, and there was no communication.

If I had to say something different...it would probably be that Zhuo would stare at Ling again, after all, they had decided to be friends;

It is worth mentioning that Ling will no longer stare at Zhuo with that cold look because of his presumptuous gaze.

Zhuo guessed that Ling was definitely used to it.

After all, his gaze had always been quite intrusive.

The dishes I receive from Zero every day are different. It can be seen that Zero has put a lot of effort into them. There are Japanese, Western, Chinese, etc. Each type changes in turn and there is absolutely no repetition.

Anyway, there are some dishes that Zhuo has never even seen before.

As expected of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

He receives the 'takeout' on time every day, and all of them are high-end dishes that Zhuo cannot refuse. Before he knows it, he begins to look forward to the next meal.

Feed?

Ah, it turned out to be feeding. He said why this pattern felt so familiar, it turned out that he was a pig waiting to be fed by his master.

Ok,
It's a blessing to be a pig.

If this continues, Zhuo might really become dependent on his master Ling.

A bit annoying.

...

...

"...Zhuo, you have changed."

"?"

During lunch time at school, Jin Kiritani, who was sitting across from him at the dining table, stared at his face with a complicated look.

Zhuo's mouth was still filled with admiration for the high-end dish that Ling had brought him in the morning. Inside the lunch box, the lobster, which had been shelled and had its legs removed, leaving only the shrimp meat and shrimp head, was very conspicuous.

"…What did you say?"

Ren put down the tasteless hamburger meat in his hand and asked, "Let me ask you, do you have a girlfriend?"

"What friend?"

"girlfriend."

"Girlfriend what?"

"【Beep——】" Although Neon's swearing skills are rubbish, his tongue flick is still quite powerful.

"… Ren, we are not allowed to swear."

Kiritani Ren glared at him angrily, "Did I get it right?"

"Girlfriend?" Zhuo sneered and sneered, his eyes showing three parts of disdain, three parts of arrogance, three parts of contempt, and one part of indifference.

"What, what, what...what happened?"

Zhuo didn't rush to answer. He picked up a piece of shrimp with chopsticks and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

“Shrimp.”

"Wrong! Absolutely wrong!" Zhuo denied with a straight face, "This is crayfish, 300 yen per kilogram (equivalent to per catty), is this your girlfriend?"

"…What do you want to say?" Ren asked. Utsunomiya Zhuo took a bite of the egg roll, squinted his eyes, and looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, as if he was gradually lost in thought.

"She's a rich woman."

"..." Ren's expression turned contemptuous, "This is not funny."

Zhuo's expression became even more disdainful, and he didn't even believe the truth.

Whether it's Su Enxi or Ling, which one is not a rich woman? Ordinary rich women can't compare with them!
Zhuo shook his head: "You sneered at it in high school, but only after entering society did you analyze it word by word~" Young people nowadays often learn to cherish something only after they lose it. How despicable!
"Stop talking nonsense, you really don't have a girlfriend?"

"Don't be so arrogant. Didn't you still confess your feelings to Yamamoto?"

"I'm different from Yamamoto..." Ren became dull when mentioning Yamamoto Yurina, "As you know, her family situation is very complicated."

Yamamoto is a girl from a wealthy family.

In Neon, Yamamoto's father is a rich man, so it is almost certain that Yamamoto will become a rich man in the future.

"So what?" Zhuo really couldn't stand these two people. They obviously admired each other, but they kept dragging it out.

"So I have to work hard and try to become someone worthy of her." Ren said these words in a low voice.

Zhuo looked at him and felt that he was really out of place.

"Yeah."

"Am I wrong?" Ren punched him.

Although it didn't hurt, Zhuo still cooperated by rubbing her shoulders and said, "That's right. If you really like a girl, you should study hard and work hard, so that when she gets married, you can give more money as a gift."

Benevolence:"……"

Ren rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "Even if you say that, I think you are the one who works the hardest."

"What?" Zhuo felt that this guy was inexplicable.

"Nothing," Ren avoided answering and skipped over the matter, "Are you really not considering finding a girl to date?"

Zhuo looked at him speechlessly: "If love is as easy as you say, there wouldn't be so many boys working so hard. Besides..."

"Moreover?"

"Besides," Zhuo turned his head and looked at the men and women in the restaurant. Many couples were sitting together and laughing. "If someone falls in love just because they want to, then that person is too pathetic... At least I won't do that."

Zhuo does not avoid love,

He also longs for someone's appearance, which can be sudden, or casual... but not perfunctory.

The kind of play-house love that is played for the sake of love, for the sake of being sociable, and for the sake of relieving loneliness.

Sorry, he doesn't need it anymore.

He couldn't accept being forced to like someone by some emotion.

The neon lights of 06 are even more impetuous than the flower planting of the future. People here fall in love just for the feeling of being in love. It is hard to say whether this is right or not.

he does not like,

That's it.

So when Zhuo was here, just like before he traveled through time, he felt that he was out of place in this world.

But I never thought about changing it.

He believes that the best way of life should not be that kind of fast-food entertainment, where one generation after another comes and there are just a lot of people anyway.

The best state of life should be: quiet and fulfilling when you are alone; warm and solid when you are with someone.

As for romance, grandness, whether the other person is pretty, whether it's embarrassing to take him/her out... these shouldn't be so important.

He was just an ordinary person and didn't have the ability to make the moon come to him.

But I don't want to be a mixed person.

How does the saying go...

called:

I can shave my head in the west and seek pleasure in the east. But the mountains and wilds are clumsy, and so am I.

So I'm staying here.
