Chapter 426, Waking Up
When he opened his eyes again, Zhuo saw Ling looking at him straight with his chin supported by his hands. He half sat up dazedly and looked outside. It was already dawn, but last night... Just as Zhuo was about to sort out her memory, Ling's chin, which was supported by his palms, moved. She asked lightly.
"Zhuo, did you feel comfortable last night?"
"Ah? Comfortable?"
Comfortable? Comfortable about what? What is comfortable?
At this time, he was still in a half-dizzy state after just waking up, his mind was not clear, and he was completely being led. Even after hearing Ling's question, Zhuo had no clue at all, but many strange guesses came to his mind.
Although Ling was in her usual state, expressionless, Zhuo always seemed to feel that she was a little unhappy.
Zero didn't give him much room to think, and asked back without any tone, his voice sounding more distant than usual.
"you're uncomfortable?"
"Comfortable, comfortable, right..."
Zhuo, who really couldn't think of any memories, was worried that she was really angry. After all, this was the first time and it should be very important even for Ling, so Zhuo didn't intend to say anything hurtful - Zhuo frowned, licked his lips, and answered tentatively.
"Comfortable. Then tell me how it feels comfortable and where is the most comfortable place."
"How do I feel comfortable? I just... I feel comfortable all over my body..."
I have no way of remembering what happened, but I can't say it now, so I can only talk nonsense while recalling.
And Zero changed his tone and sat up, putting his hands down.
"But I don't feel well at all."
"Why? Did I hurt you?"
After hearing this, Zhuo turned to look at her blankly, his mind was completely confused - he had done it with Ling last night? But how come he had no memory of it at all?
Even with this guess, Zhuo, as a normal man, avoided another question like a normal boy when he asked back...
And Ling blinked, then stared at his face carefully for a while, and sighed silently.
"Zhuo, your expression right now is as if you haven't done anything... Mai has always said before that all men are the same, they don't cherish them once they get them."
The more Ling spoke, the lower his voice became, and his eyes looked away to somewhere unknown.
"I didn't, I didn't... Zero, don't do this, you scared me, this, this, this... I just..."
Zhuo scratched his head frequently, feeling even more confused and anxious than when he first traveled through time - No way, could there really be something wrong with his brain?
"Great Sage..."
Although Zhuo's principle is "not to rely on abilities or great sages, and to live as Utsunomiya Zhuo himself" - the condition is that the dead are alive, Zhuo, who feels more anxious than an ant on hot pot, has to make an exception.
As a result, Ling seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, and the sound he made again interrupted Zhuo's thoughts on asking the great sage.
"Just what? You just can't remember how to feel good, right?"
He looked up at Zhuo again with an expression of obvious resentment. Seeing this, Zhuo was so scared that he quickly knelt up from the bed, but even so, he couldn't change the blank situation in his mind.
Damn it! He actually saw resentment on Ling's face. Is this her character setting? !
When Ling saw Zhuo looking aggrieved and at a loss as to what to do, he blinked and stood up.
"Forget it. Actually, I shouldn't blame you for not remembering it. After all..."
"What after all?" "Hurry up and get up, you'll be late for school."
"What after all?"
Even though Zhuo asked again and again, Ling just turned back to look at him meaningfully before leaving, and then closed the door.
Seeing that Zhuo was still anxious and confused, Ling did not intend to explain and left the house. That being said, he only went to the living room and would meet again soon.
Ling's escape made Zhuo stunned for a moment, but the desire to know the answer soon surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout a few more times but received no response.
'Great sage.'
[Report: I am here.]
"What happened last night? Did I and Zero..."
[Report: You returned to the bedroom at 8:23, entered a deep sleep at 8:26, and woke up at 8:12 the next day... You slept for a total of 11 hours and 44 minutes. It is recommended that you pay attention to your daily routine and take care of your body.]
"...So, I slept all night?"
【Report: Yes.】
"..."
Zhuo looked at the door where Ling left with a confused look on his face. All kinds of surprised emotions mixed with relief and disappointment came all at once... After a while, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
……
"I really didn't expect you to be this kind of Zero!! You you you..."
"Zhuo, I never said what you did. You just thought it wrongly. After all, you just slept comfortably..." Ling seemed to be unable to help himself at this point. He wiped his face to the side and avoided his sight.
...When Zhuo got dressed and returned to the living room, Ling, who had left earlier, had already prepared a bag and packed his breakfast and lunch, and was waiting at the entrance with them - although Zhuo had hurried to get dressed because he wanted to see Ling earlier, he got up too late today and didn't have time to leisurely eat breakfast at home.
Zhuo originally planned to ask Ling on the way, but failed. Ling seemed to have no intention of answering and just kept stuffing breakfast into his mouth. Before Zhuo opened his mouth to ask a question, she always managed to accurately put a corner of the food into his mouth to stop him from talking.
What you get is always proportional to what you put in. Being taken care of by Zero every day and having your habits fixed is unavoidable.
So even after he sat down in the classroom and the class started, Zhuo still secretly asked Ling without giving up.
"You admit that I didn't do anything last night and just fell asleep?"
Although he learned the situation from the Great Sage, it might be that Zhuo trusted Ling more than the Great Sage, or the person involved was more convincing. Anyway, after getting the result, his mood became complicated again.
There is nothing much to say. How does it feel to miss out on 100 million? That’s how Zhuo feels now.
"Well, my shower only took me about ten minutes, and when I came back you were already snoring."
"Then you...Zero...Have you been bewitched somewhere? Is this so fun..."
Ling is not someone who would normally do this, so when did she play tricks on others? Zhuo thought someone must be tempting her, so he asked.
What was unexpected was that after hearing him ask this, Zero quickly nodded.
"Yeah, it's quite fun. But you can't blame me for it all. You always look so righteous, but when you sleep, you say such dirty things."
"What did I say..."
