Chapter 60, Not That Really

Anyway, they tacitly kept their distance in school and pretended not to know each other.

When midnight comes, we will chat for a while.

A few days ago, Ling even reminded him to carefully organize the clothes at home and keep them tidy.

Although her tone was a bit harsh, Zhuo still felt deeply that she was really taking care of him, which was why she said that.

so,

Why still a vegetarian?

……

Time flies, as if chasing the shadow of the sun, and when I look up, it is almost setting.

September passed quickly and it was already mid-October.

Summer is coming to an end and autumn is officially here.

During this period, the school held a campus festival, which was a day of thorough campus carnival. Many people successfully confessed their love on that day and won the hearts of beautiful women or handsome men.

Mr. Pompey Gattuso, who has always left a fresh impression on Zhuo, has never appeared again.

There was no sign of a visit either.

It seems that the meeting on campus was really just a coincidence.

Those wild speculations seemed to exist only in his imagination; in reality, no one paid special attention to this minor character...

If I hadn't been woken up by the knock on the door every day and seen Zero in front of me,

He probably felt that the world of dragons was very far away from him...

At this moment, Zhuo was sitting on the sofa, holding a disposable wooden chopstick between his fingers. The oversized lunch box on the low table was still full of red and green vegetables.

The vegetables this time were different from the previous ones. Lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh mint leaves, etc. were all stuck together in a mess. There were oil stains on the leaves, indicating that salad oil had been dripped on them.

In addition, each piece of vegetable is covered with some white sticky liquid.
Zhuo picked up a piece of cabbage and tasted it. It was sweet, slightly sour and fragrant. It should be mainly salad dressing, with added honey and ketchup.

It seems that Ling also knows that Zhuo has been eating vegetarian food every day during this period, which has caused him to lose a lot of weight, so this time he added some honey and salad dressing to the vegetables to replenish energy... She really did that. I cried to death.

"Zero." Zhuo put down his chopsticks and looked at her.

Zero looked back at him in the same way, but she said nothing, only expressing her confusion with her eyes.

"You are really caring." Zhuo said with pursed lips.

Ling said nothing and turned around to continue eating her own lunch box.

Even if he was ignored, Zhuo was unwilling to give up.

On the one hand, he had to express his sincere feelings for Zero, and on the other hand, he really couldn't bear it anymore.

“Thank you for the vegetable laksa, I love it.”

Zero was unmoved and said without looking up: "Well, then eat it all."

"Did you do this?"

Because it doesn't look like what a star hotel would prepare. The food in those hotels, even if it's a piece of tree bark, will be chewed with some artistic sense before being served on the plate.

This salad, which looks very homely, could have been made by Zero.

"It's much simpler than roasting a chicken." Ling said lightly, tacitly agreeing with the matter.

"Thank you."

"Ah."

There was silence for a few more seconds.

"Zero." Zhuo spoke again.

"?" Hearing Zhuo calling her name again, Ling looked up again.

As far as Zero could remember, today was the first time that Utsunomiya Shuo had called her by her name since they had met. Before that, he had always called her Romanov.

Zhuo did it on purpose.

He looked at the vegetables on the plate seriously, and said solemnly: "I have received so much care from you, even if I give you half my life, it is not enough to repay you..."

Ling didn't interrupt because she saw Zhuo didn't look up and was still staring at the salad on the plate, which meant there was more to say. "For you, I can eat anything bitter, but not coriander." Zhuo said solemnly, turned his head and looked at Ling, hoping that the other party could read his sincerity from his eyes.

Ling looked at him for two or three seconds, then quietly withdrew his gaze and continued to eat his lunch box.

Zhuo: "..." You've changed, Ling! You've changed so much that I almost don't recognize you.

You are no longer the good kid who pushed me and my suitcase around and played around in the waiting hall.

Damn it, Renata is a bad guy!
Zhuo clenched his fists, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.

Because before the summer vacation, the meals Ling brought were all high-end dishes from star-rated hotels. At that time, Zhuo could eat happily every day and finish them thoroughly.

So during the period of chewing leaves after the summer vacation, in order to express his apology for breaking his promise, he still endured the pain every day and ate all the green leaves.

But today seems to be a bit difficult...

coriander!!!

When he becomes rich, he will burn all the coriander in the world!

Oh yes, there is also Houttuynia cordata.

Zhuo picked up the coriander from the food box with trembling hands and was about to eat it...

"I left three other bentos outside," Zero suddenly spoke up.

Zhuo seemed to hear the Lord's voice and turned his head to look at her.

Lingzheng picked up a mouthful of rice and put it into her mouth, calmly as if those words just now were not said by her.

"Really?"

Zhuo found it a little unbelievable.

It’s not that the bento is so tempting.

But this is the trend of Zero getting soft! So can we not eat vegetarian food in the future?

Zero did not answer his question directly, but said coldly: "You can also continue to finish eating."

"I'll get it right away." He stood up quickly.

He smiled at Ling, then took two steps at a time and strode to the gate.

He thought Ling would put the lunch box he prepared outside, but in fact, he didn't. Instead, he put it clearly on the shoe rack.

The oversized three-layer box is made of red lacquered wood, and the bamboo handles are also sprayed with dark red paint.

Although he couldn't wait to see what was inside and whether it was vegetarian again... he suppressed his anxiety and returned to his seat.

"I opened it?"

"Ah."

After hearing Ling's reply, Zhuo carefully lifted the lid of the top layer... He had never been so nervous in his life. He probably wouldn't be as nervous as he was now when he lifted the bride's red veil at his wedding.

Fried chicken nuggets and fried spareribs wrapped in batter, crystal clear, peeled shrimp, and ripped-open large crabs...

Look, Lingzi is a capable person who can handle...

Zhuo was deeply moved by Ling's sudden surprise, and tears of relief flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"I have something to do tomorrow and can't come." Suddenly, Ling said lightly.

Zhuo's hand, which was about to put down the lid and pick up the chopsticks, froze. He looked at her in disbelief, unable to describe how he felt. It was as if the flame that he had raised with so much difficulty was gently extinguished by a passing breeze.

Just... just a few pieces of cilantro, that shouldn’t be a big deal, right?
Ling also finished his dinner, slowly placed his chopsticks on the wooden box, and looked at him.

Perhaps he also saw what was in Zhuo's mind, so he blinked gently and said calmly:
"It has nothing to do with you. I have other things to do, so I can't come in the morning and at noon. This is also your meal for tomorrow. I will deliver dinner on time."
