Chapter 438: A long time passed after that
Ever since Ling started sleeping in the same bed with Zhuo, Zhuo's attitude began to change slightly.

Having said that, the change is not very obvious. Zhuo is always gentle and considerate to Ling, it's just that his attitude is a little different.

If you ask what's different, it's hard for Zero to describe it in words. If he has to say, it's probably that he has become less cautious, and his every move exudes casualness and confidence.

After that night, Zhuo behaved very generously and openly, and could walk beside Ling with his head held high. However, his attitude of being inactive or competitive relaxed a little, and he could walk hand in hand with her naturally. If they separated because of something, Zhuo would wait for her with his arm around his. In short, Zhuo seemed more natural and calm when he was with her, perhaps because he had developed a firm self-confidence.

Now Ling can also feel that Zhuo's habits are not the frivolous arrogance that he shows after becoming familiar with each other, but the self-confidence generated by the real feeling of being loved and loving each other, and the fact that the two of them truly love each other.

In this case, Ling didn't know whether his embarrassing performance at night was a good thing or a bad thing...

"That's amazing, Sanwu."

"?"

"He loves you very much."

"……I know."

While sitting in a booth at McDonald's and eating dinner, Zero heard Mai Jude say this with deep emotion. He kept his head down staring at the golden fries on the plate and did not look up to meet Mai Jude's gaze.

She received a call from Mai Jude two hours ago, asking her to meet him. To be fair, Ling, who was busy at the time, never thought of answering the call. This might be a strange emotion that every man has, and Zhuo is no exception... After being late for an hour at the agreed time, Ling finally arrived at this McDonald's to meet Mai Jude. As a result, when they first met, she accidentally discovered her kiss mark that was about to fade under her underwear and concealer.

More than ten minutes had passed since he got here from home. Because the hybrids had a strong recovery ability, the traces had faded a lot, so Zero thought that he didn't need to cover it too carefully and it wouldn't be discovered. In the end, he still couldn't hide it from Jude Mai's eyes.

On the one hand, Zero was thankful that she hadn't pointed it out clearly in front of the crowd, but honestly, he wished she would just pretend not to see it.

"I don't know whether to say that your guy has suddenly become bold, or that he is trying to show off to me. The only thing that is certain is... are you really a three-no?"

"..."

Even though Jude Mai didn't ask to get to the bottom of the matter, she wouldn't let her get away with it so easily, so Zero just kept his head down and remained silent the whole time.

"Three noes?"

"..."

"Hello? This lovely lady?"

"..."

"Her Majesty Princess Zero Razumovskaya Romanov?"

"…Do you have any medicine?"

"what?"

"I need medicine to suppress the activity of bloodline."

"??? Are we living in the same world? What are you suddenly talking about...what do you want that medicine for? It's still a semi-finished product. You should know that."

"..." "Ahem, that... isn't going well?"

Zero was vague or simply chose to remain silent, which forced Jiude Mai, who had gained nothing, to use her imagination. The final result was that after she thought of something, she carefully moved closer to Zero's face, asked in a low voice, and then muttered to herself, "It shouldn't be, even if it's a mixed-blood, I've never heard that it's thicker than others - just pretend I didn't ask."

In response to him, Zero suddenly raised his head and gave her a look as sharp as a knife. Jude Mai was also very tactful and knew when to stop and took back her previous remarks in time.

"You have to tell me whether you are going to use it or give it to someone else. If you are going to give it to someone else, that's fine. It's a good opportunity to test the effect. If you want to use it, I don't think I can get it even if I agree~"

"..."

"…So, you want to use it?"

"..."

"Are you crazy? Okay, okay, we all know that the female knight wanted to retire from the martial arts world, have children, and live an ordinary life... But this doesn't mean that she has to give up her martial arts. When the enemy came to seek revenge, why did you suddenly draw your sword and stun everyone present..."

“It’s hard to have a baby with him.”

"…Huh? What did you say?"

"I have tried the medicines from regular hospitals, but they are useless."

"Oh, like this……"

Although she said that she understood and her tone seemed relaxed, Jude Mai had already covered her cheeks with her hands and lowered her head deeply.

Now it was already July, and Ling and Zhuo had been sleeping together for more than three months. To be exact, three months plus thirteen days, fourteen days including today. The final result was today - she did not become a mother as she wished.

It is undeniable that every time Ling checked, she was a little disappointed. She was very happy that Zhuo, who had been patient for so long, finally showed his desire to ask for it, and was willing to take the initiative to touch her, kiss her, and ask for it. She was also mentally prepared for further intimacy between lovers. Although she did not actively want to be a mother, she still had the idea of ​​responding to being loved as a woman.

However, after checking and seeing it many times, although he had guessed this long ago, Zero also confirmed once again how difficult it was.

Just like Zhuo was able to guess what she was doing beforehand, Ling could also vaguely guess why Zhuo had been desperately squeezing his time for the past six months. She was deeply moved by Zhuo's deep affection, and she felt even more deeply how much he loved and cherished her, so only after she felt she had made some preparations did she agree to take the next step with Ling.

Every time I think of these zeros, I always feel warm in my chest, filled with overflowing emotions.

Zhuo was truly making this choice for their future, which made Ling feel like he might really cry.

"...Because Zhuo always thinks about me, I am...happy."

Although Zero paused for a moment while touching and looking at his chest when he said the word "happiness", Mai Jiude understood that Sanwu was not hesitating, but that she would be very cautious about things she felt for the first time, so she would not make a hasty judgment. In other words, the word "happiness" was the answer Sanwu gave after she had checked her conscience.

Seeing this, Jiude Mai smiled bitterly, half in admiration and half in dumbfoundedness.

"I know. I have deeply realized how much he likes you, and anyone who sees it will know that he cherishes and loves you very much."
