Chapter 96, On the way to buy groceries

In Zhuo's opinion, the life he has now... and the life he can't explain in words, are all attributed to Ling's efforts.

Of course, Zero was clearly trying to improve his favorability.

But Zhuo's final thought has never changed.

——It’s impossible for me to work. I will never work in this life.

Therefore, all that Zero has done will be in vain, this is destined.

So his current behavior is that of a white girl.

Having said that, he couldn't always be fawning and humble when getting along with Zero, and he believed that Zero would not like that way of getting along either.

That's why giving gifts came into being.

But who could have thought there would be an unexpected gain, my family members!!!
…But that was the only day.

We had Japanese food that night, the same kind that was handed to us and we couldn’t wait to put it into our mouths.

Then the next day.

This kind of treatment will no longer exist.

At that time, after dinner, he lay down on the sofa and coughed to express his dry throat... Later his throat really became dry.

This means that the VIP membership has really expired.

Really short.

Although he still wanted to do it again... no, another year, two years, just two years. After two years, if Zero retreated, he would never stop him.

But Zhuo was a little confused about how to do it.

Birthdays only come once a year, and the last time was a complete surprise, and the gift was also a coincidence... In short, it was a combination of the right time, the right place, and the right people, and it cannot be replicated.

Difficulty.

...

...

After Christmas, Neon is filled with a year-end atmosphere.

I spent Christmas with Zero... I guess. Even though we both lived in our own worlds, we were in the same house after all.

But at least I avoided the fate of spending the holiday alone.

If you go out and brag about it in the future, he will also have something to say (he will look down on you)!
Today is February 12.

The last day of 2006.

Zhuo is going out shopping alone now because Ling is preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow.

In Neon, there is also the custom of preparing New Year's Eve dinner. It must be a sumptuous meal, and one must eat soba noodles... Zero's personality is that once he decides to do something, he must do it perfectly.

So she actually started by fermenting the dough and then preparing to pull the soba noodles herself!!!

Very good.

So Zhuo was sent out to buy things.

Now he has bought everything and is on his way home, observing the new look of his surroundings.

The lights for the night scene are still there, but the Christmas trees that were previously everywhere have been taken down, and the various conspicuous decorations have been changed to Japanese style.

The items sold in the store have all changed to New Year decorations and food, and the Christmas atmosphere has completely disappeared. If there is any trace of Christmas, the only thing left is some items that were not sold out during Christmas, which are marked with clearance sale labels and put on sale at a discount.

Zhuo thought to himself, "Things are changing so fast," while looking at the surroundings where preparations for the New Year had already been made.

The place where he shopped was naturally the "Daimaru Department Store" two blocks away. If I remember correctly, this mall has been bought by Su Enxi. But Utsunomiya Shuo still did not use facial recognition, but honestly queued up to pay, using the shopping card received from Rina.

Although this place is not far from the apartment he rented, it is also a commercial area.

In addition to the iconic building "Daimaru Department Store" covered with neon lights, there are also Tokyu Hands (Japanese: 東急ハンズ), Mitsukoshi Department Store, Isetan, etc.

At almost every intersection, you can see a department store that occupies an entire building.

The competition is fierce.

There are many people on the street, and everyone is carrying bags of vegetables, mushrooms, meat, etc. During the New Year in Japan, two kinds of gourmet meals are usually eaten: "Osechi" and "Zoni". Both are equally delicious. But there are also differences——

(I won’t explain it here.)
In short, it's something similar to hot pot.

There were the same things in his bag, but there were mostly vegetables... Zhuo guessed that Ling might have noticed that his pig had gained a lot of weight, so he had started to adjust his diet recently - trying to eat more vegetables.

It probably means this.

Speaking of this, Zhuo was reminded of Ling's recent slight changes.

Although Zero did not say it explicitly, there are obviously many more vegetables on the recent menu and a significant reduction in meat, which probably represents Zero's silent advocacy of "controlling dietary rules."

Zhuo had resisted, saying that he didn't care about gaining a few more pounds of flesh... Ling nodded silently, and then she mashed the vegetables and mixed them into the meat dishes, trying every way to control his diet.

That's pretty much it.

"It's like having an old lady at home who is always worrying about you."

But this also shows that through the Christmas experience, his relationship with Zero has indeed become much more harmonious.

Although the daily routine was not much different from now, Ling always came to his house to cook. But at that time, Ling really felt like an emotionless breeder, who was only responsible for carrying the food bowl and throwing it into the pigpen on time, and then recording the growth status of the piglets in a small notebook with an indifferent expression, observing when they could be taken out for slaughter.

Well, that may be an exaggeration, but it's very fitting.

Zhuo thought so as he shivered in the increasingly cold weather, hoping to go back soon.

It's very cold today, which is really suitable for eating hot pot.

The traffic light in front of us refused to turn green. A large group of people had gathered on both sides of the street waiting, and the main road was crowded with cars.

At this time, a neat row of black Hummers passed by at a constant speed, with a particularly conspicuous Land Rover G in the middle. The speed was not fast, and the puddles of melted snow on the roadside were not splashed. (This is not a typo, it will be censored if I write it out, I have experience from the previous book.)
There were seven vehicles in the convoy, the first three and the last three were black Hummers, and the Land Rover was in the middle, like a princess being protected by knights.

Utsunomiya Shuo looked up at the red and green indicator light—a green circle.

There should be no problem with his eyesight.

So, they were the ones running the red light.

So arrogant.

……

The convoy gradually stopped and arrived at the entrance of the Quartz Building.

Then people got out of the car.

Dozens of burly men in black suits trotted down the stairs and ran into the white French-style building next to the Quartz Building. The two men at the end of the team stayed outside, guarding the door on the left and right, like door gods.

Only the black Land Rover drove straight in and stopped in front of the white French-style building.

This French-style building is not conspicuous in the high-rise blocks because it is too short. The quartz building next to it is 35 stories high, and the small building is like a stunted dwarf in front of it.

But upon closer inspection, the downstairs is an elegant place.

It is an elegant and beautiful building.

Such an elegant building, built on a fast-paced commercial street, is like gold covered in shit.
