Chapter 424, Gift

"Zero...be gentle...let go, let go first."

When Zhuo was immersed in his own memories, Ling's hand that was on Zhuo's face suddenly reached behind his head, grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him towards her.

After getting drunk, Ling didn't control his strength at all and pressed his fingers directly on Zhuo's carotid artery. This action was more like a defense before killing rather than being intimate.

Zhuo got up quickly in pain, followed her movements and fell onto the bed, finally using his elbows to cushion his body on both sides of her body to prevent himself from falling on Ling. But Ling didn't consider Zhuo's troubles at all, and didn't let go, holding his head on her shoulders.

Zhuo clearly heard Ling sniff himself twice quickly with his nose, then smacked his lips and tilted his head against him with a look of contentment.

Although she should be praised for her zero vigilance even after being drunk and falling asleep, which means that Zhuo doesn't have to worry about her being taken advantage of in the future - but isn't this way of judging people wrong?
Zhuo's entire posture now was extremely awkward, with his head fixed by Ling, unable to move, his upper body supported by his elbows, and his legs still outside the bed.

But at least Ling's hand that was pinching Zhuo's artery loosened, and Zhuo began to try to turn her face, and found that Ling's body had been squeezed together without her knowing, and she looked a little uncomfortable, and then her body began to twist. Zhuo took advantage of the fact that the strength in her hand was completely loosened and quickly stood up.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zero's eyes were still closed, but he turned sideways and placed his hands on his chest.

"bald……"

"Do you feel like vomiting? Wait, wait a minute..."

Zhuo rushed out and picked up a basin from the bathroom, then poured a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table.

After returning, he sat on the bed and lifted up Zero's upper body, letting her lie on the bed, holding her up by her hair with his left hand while his right hand gently stroked her back.

"Spit it out, it will be fine."

But after Zhuo tried for a long time, Ling didn't spit out anything, and then slowly stopped moving. Zhuo was stunned for a moment, smiled helplessly, and then gently picked her up. In his arms, Zhuo clearly saw Ling lick her lips and fell asleep again...

Zhuo originally planned to take Ling back, but after thinking about it, he felt that Ling might still feel uncomfortable later, so he fed her some warm water. When Zhuo put her back on the bed, Ling turned over without thinking and rolled to the other side of the bed with the quilt.

Zhuo was surprised to see this scene. He stood by the bed with his hands on his hips and could only smile helplessly.

When she takes care of herself, she is great and selfless; as a girlfriend, she can always surprise you with her cuteness.

Although he said she was his girlfriend, the new word "wife" kept popping up in his mind. Zhuo once again confirmed one thing: he already had expectations, he wanted to marry her, and even wanted her to give herself to him... Was he too impatient?

That night, when Ling was sleeping, he either called out Zhuo's name or mumbled a lot, or tossed and turned in bed, not at all like the sound sleep he had when he was awake. He stretched his feet out of the quilt several times, almost kicking him.

Zhuo could only cover her with the quilt again and again. It seemed that she would never be allowed to drink alcohol in the future. The most important thing was that she delayed him from opening the presents, which was really too much.

"You don't look drunk at all~"

Zhuo was judging Ling's cheek while gently stroking her face with his hand.

Perhaps because Zero's body temperature was not too high, the moist and shiny white skin was slightly cooler than washing hands.

Zhuo gently stroked Ling's cheek, and then, looking at that extremely peaceful sleeping face, he smiled bitterly.

"I'll give it back to you sooner or later... Good night."

Tomorrow... To be more precise, she will be very surprised after waking up this morning. Zhuo thought so, but at the same time, he felt that she had already made him so itchy, so a little excessive in the future should be within the acceptable range.

……

After daybreak, Zero suddenly sat up, then sat there like a robot that suddenly lost power. After a few seconds, he tapped his forehead with his hand.

Zhuo handed him a cup of warm water.

"Drink some water first. Do you have a headache? Is your stomach still uncomfortable?" Ling looked up at him stupidly for a few seconds, unconsciously took the water and drank half of it, then looked up at Zhuo blankly. Then he looked around. He was still groping for the quilt in his hand.

Zhuo took the cup from her hand and said with a teasing smile.

"This is the bedroom, your bed. I'm your boyfriend, Utsunomiya Shuo. Is there anything else you need to confirm?"

"Was I drunk last night?"

Ling gently lifted the quilt and looked at himself, asking cautiously even though he knew the answer. Zhuo sat on the bed with his back to the bed, his voice low and weak.

"What do you think... Do you remember what you said and did last night?"

"I'll go to the Internet cafe to find you after I get ready..."

Ling seemed to notice that I was a little unhappy, and his voice became thinner and thinner.

Zhuo didn't even look at her and continued asking.

"anything else……"

"And?... I won't get drunk and crazy... right?"

It was the first time that Zhuo heard Ling speak in this way, and he almost couldn't help laughing. But thinking about what happened last night, he still felt a little resentful. He took a deep breath to suppress his emotions, turned around, and tried to stay calm.

"You fell asleep with a gift for me!"

"Gift?"

After hearing this, Ling asked back with obvious confusion, and frowned beautifully. Zhuo jumped up immediately when he saw her confused reaction.

"Zero, if you forget about the gift you promised me, I'll be really anxious!"

Ling coughed "cough cough——" as if he was choked, and turned his head to the side.

"I'm lying. I haven't forgotten. This is something I've thought about a long time ago. How could I forget it? Don't be angry. I just wanted to drink some wine to relax myself, but I didn't expect... Didn't you sleep all night?"

"Who made someone get drunk and sleep so restlessly, like he was practicing martial arts..."

Zhuo muttered and went down again.

Ling looked at his back, blinking his deep blue eyes, then slowly got up, supported himself with both hands and crawled to Zhuo's side. He put his face in front of Zhuo, tilted his head and looked at him and asked.

"You didn't sleep, and you didn't...dismantle it secretly..."

"Do you want me to take it down secretly?"

Zhuo didn't know what Ling was thinking to ask this question, so he asked back.

As expected, Zero slowly shook his head after hearing this and said.

"No...if you take it down secretly, I won't be angry, but I might ignore you for a long time."

“…I knew it.”

Zhuo looked down at her, and after they stared at each other for a moment, Zhuo asked in a low voice.

"Zero, are you awake now?"
