Chapter 416: Yurina's Shocking Statement
After decisively deciding to disband, Ren and Kanda turned and headed toward the park's entrance as if they wanted to leave quickly.

Zhuo, who didn't know what was going on, stayed where he was and had nowhere to go.

Because Ling probably has something to do at home that he is not telling him, Zhuo chose to hang out after school when he is not working. It is not yet seven o'clock, which is not the time when part-time workers usually get off work, so Zhuo plans to stay for a while.

"So—this is what you called me out to talk about?"

On the park bench, Yurina Uemoto crossed her arms angrily and glared at Zhuo and said this.

With nothing to do, the only thing Zhuo could think of was to chat with his friends, but he didn't have many friends, and two-thirds of them had just left. Zhuo had no choice but to send a text message to the last third - Yamamoto Yurina. As a result, Yurina, who had trotted into the park, became very impatient after listening to his explanation, uh, or a little unhappy.

“This isn’t… This isn’t…”

"Okay! Okay! I get it! Really--Mr. Utsunomiya, you sent girls out to suffer the cold so casually. What should we do before you abandon me and return to your wife's arms?"

"Sitting?"

"And then——"

"breathe."

"I knew it...do you want to do it?"

It should have been a leisurely and meaningless conversation time, but what Zhuo never expected was that Yurina said something shocking for no reason, or to be more precise, it scared Zhuo.

In Japanese culture, the meaning of this "做" naturally has no other meaning. So Zhuo thought that he would not misunderstand it.

Even so, it took Zhuo two seconds to react, and he looked at Yamamoto in disbelief.

Even though Zhuo looked at her in shock, Yamamoto just blinked, without any regret or joking. Instead, she looked back at Zhuo calmly, as if she was just talking about something insignificant.

"Hey, Zhuo, you're still a virgin, right? You haven't done it with Ling yet? Doing these things is a waste of time~"

"Did you have a fight?" Zhuo asked.

"Eh?"

"Jin. You and Jin."

"No, no, we are fine. Don't get the wrong idea. We just have nothing to do."

Yamamoto waved his hands and said without any pressure: "This is just a death order from a friend."

"Why, are you crazy? What kind of friend is so kind to others! What did I miss in the past 18 years?" Zhuo still couldn't believe it.

Yamamoto opened his eyes wide and glared at him: "You are crazy, this is a greeting from a good friend! Greetings! Besides, haven't you always liked my breasts?"

Zhuo was silent for a moment and thought: Not only that, I also like your round little butt and your big white legs that are sunken when wearing stockings.

But liking it is liking it, and it is the same hobby of all old perverts, and it is not worth criticizing.

What you think is one thing, what you do is another. This is what is meant by judging by actions, not by the heart. No one is perfect when it comes to the heart.

But I still have to say that even though he knew it was a wrong thing to do, when he heard what Yamamoto said, Zhuo's heart still moved shamefully. But that was all. Zhuo couldn't and didn't want to do anything to let Ling down.

Zhuo could only tell himself repeatedly in his heart that he had someone he liked, she was not Yamamoto, and he could not do anything to let her down, no matter what.

When I thought of Ling and the experiences of the two of us in life, all my desires disappeared instantly. This disappearance was not like a bucket of cold water poured down on my head, making me shiver and unable to feel any warmth. Instead, it slowly and gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a more peaceful and warm feeling filling my chest.

Seeing that he became silent again, Yamamoto shook her head, stroked the hem of her skirt behind her thighs, and sat down beside her. After making sure that the skirt was tucked in and there was no exposure, she looked at him.

"Love is a free choice. You and I are not married yet, and the person we will marry in the future may not be the one we like. Instead of leaving a bland memory, it is better to turn her into a memory now. At least if the first person is you, I don't hate it~" Yamamoto paused, covered his mouth and asked: "Could it be that you have always secretly hated me, so you are so entangled?"

Zhuo said weakly, "Stop it, Yurina."

Zhuo was really scared of her crooked logic, and he couldn't stand it any longer.

"Hmph!" Yamamoto wrinkled his nose and poked Zhuo's chest with his finger: "So you shouldn't have come to see me. You wanted to kill time but that was just an excuse. In fact, you were secretly blaming her in your heart and hoped that she would look at you more. You knew everything in your heart, but you just wanted to use me to make Ling jealous. Why didn't I realize you were so bad before?"

"..." Zhuo shrank his head and dared not speak.

Isn't that the truth?
Even if he had some guesses about what Ling did, he still felt anxious before the dust settled. This was the first time that Ling did something behind his back. Except for that "sudden return home", all traces were wiped clean by Ling. It was inevitable that Zhuo would think too much. He was anxious and worried because of Ling, but he had no place to reason, so he could only bear it himself.

Zero doesn't owe him anything.
He just cares too much.

In other words, the desire for control and possessiveness is a bit too much.

"Hey, you really don't plan to continue your studies?"

"Hmm? Oh, probably."

"Why?!"

"…There's no reason. I just don't think there's any school I want to go to, and I don't have any clear goals. That's about it. By the way, I'm glad you skipped the previous topic without changing your expression~"

"Hmm~ It's too late for you to regret now. You've already missed the chance to kill him."

"Yes, yes, yes~ Please let me go."

Yamamoto Yurina, who was still talking about something that went beyond the limit a second ago, moved on to the next topic without any hindrance after seeing Zhuo's silence. Seeing Yurina return to her usual self, with one hand on her chin and looking straight at the lawn in front of the park, Zhuo couldn't understand why she was thinking about making such a joke.

"So you're planning to be independent, right? Or have your uncle and aunt already found a suitable job for you? That's why you don't want to continue your studies."

"No, no, it's purely personal reasons. After all, there is no major that I am interested in."

"Really... Then why don't you come to our gathering place so you can gain experience?"

"Oh - I don't know, if I need it I will ask you for help..."

...In the end, Zhuo walked away shaking his head. This originally meaningless stay abroad was also meaningless in the end.

It is now past eight o'clock, and it is time for me to go home after working.

Before leaving, Yamamoto shouted from behind, "Are you really not going to come to my house for a visit? My parents are not at home."

Zhuo staggered and fled in panic.
