Chapter 439: Where do you think it came from?
"...Because Zhuo always thinks about me, I am...happy."
"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."
“I have experienced this very clearly.”
If I wasn't cherished and loved, there wouldn't be such a long wait.
Others said that Ling was cold and emotionless, but she knew how strong the sexual desire of high school boys was, and she was also very clear about Zhuo's deep desire for her. She could feel this from the casual contact between the two before that night.
Even so, Zhuo decided to be patient and respect her, and refused to take action against her until he felt that he could truly take responsibility for their future.
"…In order to respond to him, I have to express it as well."
"No, you've made it clear enough. You need to exercise some restraint and don't poke our eyes out. And I won't ask you where you came up with this way of rewarding others. The farmer and the snake?... The inhibitor simply suppresses the expression activity of the alternative gene chain in our body. It cannot change the basic structure of the cell. Even if you eat it, it will be useless. To put it bluntly, this is a matter of luck. The tadpole cannot tear open the dragon's shell by itself, so it's useless no matter what you do."
"…Is there no other way?"
"Emmmm——As far as I know, there is definitely no such thing..."
Even though they had already entered an air-conditioned room, Jude Mai was fanning her face with her hands, pretending to be very hot.
Zero was unwilling to accept the fact that Mai Jude would definitely find a way... At the same time, he also realized that since Mai Jude was unwilling to tell him, this method would probably involve some things that she could not decide. The only thing that could make Mai Jude unable to decide, besides making the sun rise from the west, was probably Zero. So Zero lowered his head in disappointment.
……
The tip of the pen made a hard rustling sound as it stroked the paper, filling the white paper with words.
Zhuo tried his best not to look at what was written by those slender fingers and the thin ballpoint pen, but he still looked at Ling beside him who was silently stringing together the words with black ink on a page of the thick notebook.
After dinner and clearing the table, the two would sit down together to relax, but they were not always together. Not to mention their classmates, even Jude Mai misunderstood that the two were kissing each other all day long, which was really funny.
In fact, if they each have something to do, they will deal with it separately, and they don't always do things together to deepen their relationship. Although they are in the same space, they will each do what they like and spend a quiet time.
Today was no exception. Ling took the seat next to Zhuo and wrote something quietly by himself.
Although they were already lovers, it was rude to peek at what the other person wrote, and it might make the other person uncomfortable, so Zhuo didn't plan to read it, she only knew what Ling was writing. She had also written a book called "How to Use Zhuo" in the process of "approaching" Zhuo before, but she didn't use that notebook this time.
Zhuo took a glance and saw that it looked like a leather-bound notebook.
"what are you writing?"
Originally, Zhuo was embarrassed to disturb Ling, but seeing how seriously she was writing, he couldn't help but be curious, so he started to talk to her. Ling immediately raised her head with a blank expression.
Then she saw Zhuo's eyes lingering around her hand. She blinked and then said as if she understood:
"I'm writing a diary... I guess you could say that. I want to write down what happened recently before I forget it."
"Oh - I don't know whether to say you are serious or loyal to your principles." I thought Ling was writing something, but it turned out to be a diary. After hearing her say that, the appearance of the book at hand really looks like a diary.
This diary does not have the cute or pretty appearance that high school girls like. Instead, it looks stable and solid, and it can be said to be in Zero's style.
Maybe because she likes to be clean, there are no obvious marks on the diary, but it looks like it has been used for a while. At least it is not recently used. (Otherwise, where do you think the first-person chapters you see are from? They are all excerpts from "Zero's Diary").
“Do you write every day?”
"No, not that often. Only when there's something special. Or when I don't want to forget something..."
"Don't want to forget something?"
"I don't know what you think of me, but even if I'm a hybrid, I'm still human. The memory in my brain will gradually fade away. This will help me recall."
"Good and bad things will be recalled--"
Although Zhuo doesn't write a diary, if there is something that needs to be recorded, he will simply write it down using the calendar app on his phone, but he won't write down the specific content. Zhuo thinks that even if he writes down the date, he probably won't be able to recall what happened in the diary when he sees it again many years later. After all, Zhuo is just an ordinary person, there is nothing he can do about it.
"Yes, I think this method is very suitable for organizing emotions and information. As long as you write it down, you can immediately remember what happened. I also wrote about meeting you... or should I say the first time we talked."
"I voted for "This guy has no looks and no skills, but he's so arrogant." "
The first time Zhuo and Ling spoke after they met was probably more than a month after they became classmates. It was the day when Zhuo was blocked by someone in the rainy alley.
Looking back now, my attitude at that time was cold and indifferent, which did not give people a good first impression - Zhuo himself thought so, and it must have been worse in Ling's eyes.
"Well, I don't deny it, but it's not that annoying either."
"Well, after hearing what you said, I don't know whether I should be sad or happy."
"I should be thankful. Now think about it, if you had a different attitude at that time, maybe I would have changed the way I dealt with it, and maybe this day wouldn't be here."
"I understand. Your Highness likes to be indifferent."
"..."
Hearing this, Ling just stared deeply into his eyes for a few seconds, then lowered his head and continued with the diary project at hand.
For Zero at that time, no one was worthy of trust. And it was because she understood her own position and her own value, and referred to Zhuo's evasive attitude, that so many things happened later. Although he didn't want to admit it, reality is reality. In the world of ten thousand times, how many times did he meet Zero, and would they be together every time after meeting?
"Great Sage, do you remember my tone, expression, and lines that day?"
【Report: Remember. 】
'Well... now I'll give you a second plan besides the pre-made plan. If this world also fails, in the new world, set your second start time to the moment you meet Zero, and remind me at that time how to replicate myself on that day. If you disagree, I can enforce it.'
