Chapter 508: There are also quarrels in daily life

"If you ask me, there is one thing that is quite concerning, which is the last rule that makes the little puppy unable to stop? Zero, is that where you learned it? Also, am I unable to stop lusting after you... As for me, if you think so in your heart, you might as well tell me directly, and I will grow on you from now on."

Although her face was not exposed, Ling was steaming all over. After a long time, she struggled to get up from Zhuo's arms, turned her head and glared at him fiercely.

"Don't make me sound so stuffy!"

"I just wanted to say that you're unexpectedly curious... It hurts! Now, stop kicking me!"

Zhuo was just joking, but Ling took it seriously and kicked Zhuo's calf fiercely. If this continued, Ling would definitely get even more obsessed. Zhuo made this judgment and apologized frankly immediately.

Ling twisted her head against Zhuo's body to dissipate heat. Then she slowly raised her eyes and looked at Zhuo, her eyes filled with resentment.

"…Are you satisfied now?"

"I'm sorry, please don't be angry, okay?"

If she teased him too much, Zero might bear a grudge. She had already clenched her fists, as if she was ready to hit someone at any time.

Zhuo held her arm and tried to comfort Ling with a gentle smile. Ling then closed her mouth tightly and stared at Zhuo with dissatisfaction.

"…You've seen this kind of stuff before, right? It's a very normal thing."

"No, I don't really have any idea about attracting people... Wait, does that mean you really think so?"

"Don't ask me!"

Ling realized that she had said something wrong, and suddenly lowered her head and kept quiet, but soon realized that it was too late to undo what had been done. She immediately broke away from Zhuo's gentle embrace, clenched her fists and straightened her upper body, as if she was ready to fight.

Judging from Ling's reaction, Zhuo's guess should be correct. Although he felt an indescribable embarrassment and shyness, it also showed how much Ling cared about him, and this fact made Zhuo happy from the bottom of his heart.

Even though she was being looked at by Zero with a clenched fist, and it looked like she might suffer from "physical amnesia" at any time, she almost laughed. In order to appease Zero, he decided to go to the kitchen to make a drink.

As long as he keeps a distance from him for a while, Ling should be able to calm down - Zhuo made such a judgment, and left the bedroom under Ling's gaze. He deliberately prepared a sweet drink that Ling would like at a slow speed and brought it back to the bedroom.

Zero stared at him coldly with his eyes half opened.

"Okay, don't be angry. Please enjoy the iced cocoa I made myself."

"…If you think you can get rid of it by drinking, you are totally wrong."

"Then my hard work has been in vain?"

“…Really.”

After Zhuo put on a pitiful look, Ling would frankly accept the drink at this time. Zhuo was careful not to let Ling find out that he was laughing secretly, and at the same time solemnly handed the drink to her.

First, use a pot to cook thick cocoa sauce, mix it with fresh milk and add ice cubes. This kind of ice cocoa, which takes a little time to prepare, is one of Zero's favorite drinks.

Cleaning a pot after boiling cocoa was a hassle, so she didn't do it often.

However, when Zhuo accidentally annoyed her, if he made this kind of drink for her and then seriously admitted his mistake, she would accept it calmly and be willing to communicate with Zhuo.

"Is it tasted okay?" Zhuo asked after seeing Ling take a sip, while glancing at her face.

The look that was originally full of blame softened a lot.

"...delicious."

Zero would never lie even if he was angry about this.

"That's good."

"Zhuo, do you think I'm easy to deal with?"

“…I didn’t mean that.”

Ling glanced at Zhuo who was smiling bitterly, then stood up with the cup of iced cocoa.

Could it be that she was going back to the living room? Was she really that angry? Zhuo thought so and broke out in a cold sweat. However, Ling immediately sat down, which made Zhuo feel relieved.

But then he had to worry about something else.

"…Ms. Romanoff?"

The thigh was patted in dissatisfaction, and unlike before, there was more dissatisfaction, and this feeling was conveyed through the pain in the leg. Zhuo reflected on it and felt that Ling was probably dissatisfied with this title. Since she had become the wife of the Utsunomiya family, this title was indeed not appropriate.

Although his legs were a little painful, Zhuo felt warm at heart when he thought about the reason.

"…Ms. Utsunomiya?"

"…The air conditioning is too cold."

It seems to be just as Zhuo thought.

Ling sat down between Zhuo's legs and looked up at him with no emotion on his face. Zhuo felt relieved but hesitant at the same time and sighed deeply.

"What do you want me to do?"

"You can do whatever you like. But if you break the agreement, you should know what the consequences will be."

Even though he was sitting in Zhuo's arms on the bed at night, Ling should be deliberately teasing Zhuo as revenge.

"That would make you angry."

"Yeah, I'll be angry."

"But the three days we agreed upon have already been used up... I can't do anything."

"very good."

Ling adopted a strong tactic of taking himself as a hostage, but it was indeed effective, leaving Zhuo helpless.

Although Zhuo had no intention of doing anything that violated the agreement, since Ling deliberately reminded him in person, Zhuo had to express his opinion.

He raised his hands with a helpless smile, emphasizing that he could do nothing.

"The wind blowing through the gap is too cold."

"You've become a little willful now."

Since they were sitting together in the quilt, it was inevitable that cold air would sneak in through the gaps. But Zero, the culprit, insisted on bringing this up, which made people feel strange and troubled.

Although his sanity was challenged, after hearing Ling say this, Zhuo could only hug her again.

"Do you hate me for being so willful?"

"Of course not, because Zero always likes to humor me, so I might even want you to be more willful with me."

Ling is usually a strict person, Zhuo hopes that he can at least act like a spoiled child to him. He has never imagined that Ling would show weakness like an ordinary girl, but he hopes that he can rely on himself more instead of always liking to solve problems alone. As long as it is within his ability, Zhuo wants to achieve it for her.

For Zhuo, as long as Ling is happy, his own affairs are not too important.

However, Ling seemed to have the same idea about him, always wanting to do everything for him before Zhuo could do it.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the two of them will fight for dominance over who should be favored... However, today it seems that Ling is willing to let Zhuo favor her frankly - although this is also her small revenge.

Ling snuggled in Zhuo's arms, letting him hold her as she sipped her iced cocoa. She looked very relaxed, having let go of the things that happened before. "...By the way, didn't you make your own drink?"

"I don't really like sweet things. I'm already full from the way you're drinking."

Seeing Ling looking at him, Zhuo answered like this.

Being able to see her drinking the drink I prepared with relish made me feel satisfied. It didn't matter if I didn't drink the drink myself.

This might be Ling's usual mood - Zhuo thought so in his heart.

"I'm going to make some midnight snacks later, but are you full already?"

"I mean it's very satisfying mentally."

"So you don't need a midnight snack?"

"Come on, I want to eat."

These are two different things - in order to emphasize this point, Zhuo hugged Ling in his arms a little harder. Ling in his arms buried his face in the mouth of the drink again, twisted a few times to find a better position, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"You're so quick to adapt. You already know how to cook."

"Eh? ...But I want to eat the food you cook. If it's not cooked by you, I won't be satisfied. It's not just about the food, but I just want to eat it."

"You've already used up all three times, and you still want to tell dirty jokes?"

"I'm so sorry, I was too arrogant."

After saying this, Zhuo felt that it sounded rather cowardly.

Zhuo was probably completely used to Zero's life around him, so now he would feel uncomfortable whenever he missed a part of Zero's life. For example, cooking...

Of course, he didn't feel that he couldn't survive on his own, but he couldn't be satisfied without Zero by his side, and his mind was completely changed.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

"I know myself well. Utsunomiya Shuo has been completely controlled by you."

"Can't feel it."

"I'm very sorry that I didn't describe it clearly. In fact, I can't live without Her Majesty the Princess anymore."

"Does this seem to mean that I don't need to seek help online?"

"Of course, Her Royal Highness just wanted to laugh at those fish-surfing people."

Zhuo has a clear understanding that he has grown since he started living with Ling, and now he can live alone without any problems. But it is because of Ling that he can feel fulfilled and alive.

For Zhuo, being liked by Ling is a very lucky and dreamy thing, an unprecedented experience. If she is missing, his world will definitely fade a lot.

Zhuo did not become complacent just because he knew that "others liked him" and thought that he was already an excellent person.

It might not be appropriate to say that he was taking advantage of the power of the tiger. But Zhuo felt that it was precisely because of Ling's existence that he was able to gain the attention of others and gain recognition.

In short, even Zhuo himself got to where he is today with her help.

……

As a result, on the way to Akihabara the next day, Ling stopped halfway, said something to Zhuo, and then stood in a line of high school girls.

It looked like he might have to wait a while to buy something, so Zhuo started looking at his phone while waiting.

Ling in the team looked back at Zhuo while waiting for the team to move forward slowly. About five minutes later, Ling came back.

In her hand, she held a cup of something that looked like milk tea with some black particles in it. It was obvious that it was the bubble milk tea mentioned yesterday.

It seems like he really cares about Yurina——Zhuo sighed slightly in his heart.

"Awaited."

"fine."

"This is my first time drinking it. And then, I just put the cup of bubble tea on my chest and drink it, right?"

"puff--"

"The Internet has become convenient, and you can find the answer by searching."

Are you still holding a grudge against what happened yesterday? I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me!
Zero, who seemed omniscient and omnipotent, used the weapons of civilization without hesitation.

I apologize for always thinking of Ling as an old-fashioned person who is best at solving problems with a machete.

"Should I challenge you?"

"Uh, um, that..."

"Zhuo, your eyes have been looking this way since just now."

"I'm very sorry, Princess... But, um, I don't recommend trying this kind of thing..."

Although Zhuo would not stare at them in public, since they had known each other well, he had an idea of ​​the size of Zero's breasts.

Although I don't know the exact size, it is actually bigger than it looks. Even so, it seems impossible to put something on it, so the bubble tea challenge is unlikely to succeed.

If this were really demonstrated in front of him, Zhuo would feel very embarrassed, so Zhuo still hoped that Ling would not do this.

However, having said that, as a man, after occasionally glancing at the rise and fall of her chest, he would naturally want to see her do something that was inconsistent with her temperament, which put Zhuo in a dilemma.

"If Zhuo wants me to try, I will do it."

“…Uh, that.”

"I understand that it's natural for men to be concerned about women's breasts."

"I always feel complicated that you actually understand this kind of thing..."

"Or maybe it's because after seeing that photo, Ruozhuo has no expectations of me and finds me even scarier."

"That's not the case!"

Think about it, if you don't have any expectations for Ling at this time, the result will be very scary. Zhuo is glad that he will not be like this. Although he used to think that he belongs to the party of normal people, after getting along with Ling for a long time, he can't refute it even if someone complains that he is a loli control.

Even so, to be honest, I still think it's better for Zero not to do this, although I really want to see the expressionless Zero do something that is totally unlike her.

"...Want to see it?"

“…I want to see it.”

Although Ling's intention was just to ask him if he wanted to see him do this because Zhuo had brought up the topic, Zhuo understood that Ling was challenging for his sake, and he felt that itchy feeling again.

Because she was the one who was going to accompany him, so even if she was not good at it or might even make him embarrassed, she wanted to do it for him to see - this was probably what Zero was thinking. Zhuo didn't know whether to blame Yurina for her nonsense or to thank her.

Zero would do whatever Zhuo wanted to do - Zero, who was a little scary in this regard, said, "Then I'll try it," and planned to put the milk tea on his chest.
