Uchiha of Zero Zone

"I'm so sorry. I will transfer the compensation for the table into your store's account when the time comes." In front of the coffee shop, Zhong Yan brought Ai Lian and kept bowing and apologizing to Master Dingman.

Afterwards, in order to prevent more people from noticing the commotion here, the two quickly fled the scene and came to a small path by the river.

Zhong Yan was so tired that he was out of breath, while Ai Lian beside him had recovered from the state just now, but he did not return to his usual impatient look, instead he laughed inexplicably.

The unprecedented experience made her feel satisfied from the bottom of her heart, but her cheeks still turned slightly red when she thought about the indirect kiss with Zhong Yan just now.

"Are all you Xi people so strong? If that slap just now had hit me, I would have been killed on the spot." After his rapid breathing recovered a little, Zhong Yan turned to look at Ailian and said.

To be honest, he was really scared by what happened just now, mainly because he didn't expect Ailian's reaction to be so big. If the slap had hit him instead of the table, he would have probably been rushed to the hospital by now.

The battle maid is indeed worthy of her reputation.

"Okay, I'm sorry, isn't it enough for me to apologize to you?" Facing Zhong Yan's complaints, Ai Lian giggled.

This girlish look made Zhong Yan stunned for a moment, and then he saw the other party take out two lollipops from her pocket.

"Eat some candy and relax. Consider it my apology to you." Ailian handed over one of the lollipops with a smile, then tore open the wrapper of the other one and stuffed it into her mouth.

Looking at the lollipop in his hand, Zhong Yan smiled helplessly: "I paid for the entire table for you."

Hearing this, Ailian puffed up her lips in dissatisfaction and said, “Who said this is financial compensation? It’s obviously spiritual compensation, okay? I will transfer the money for the table to you when the time comes.”

Hearing this, Zhong Yan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Just when he was a little at a loss, Ailian's tone suddenly changed, and she said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, didn't you accompany me to skip class? Now I can't drink coffee, so let's do something else to kill time."

Indeed, it was still a long time before the sun set. Zhong Yan's original plan was to sit in the coffee shop with Ai Lian for the whole afternoon, but who knew that something like this would happen.

There's no way. Since I don't want to go back now, I'll just find something to kill time.

For the two of them, it doesn't matter what they do after skipping classes, as long as there is someone to accompany them.

So, after some well-reasoned discussion, what the two finally chose to do was... walk around the path along the river.

The lollipop in the mouth soon melted gradually as time passed. Beside the guardrail of the riverside path, the two chatted casually.

The content of the chats is mostly meaningless daily trivia, but it can inexplicably attract people to listen.

The combination of the boy and the girl always makes people envy and admire them. Passersby on the street cast their glances at them from time to time, but they are all ignored by the two who are focused on each other.

Time passed quietly like this, and the sun gradually setting in the distant sky seemed to be a wake-up call for the two, causing them to slow down their pace involuntarily until they finally stopped completely.

"We walked for a whole afternoon... I've never consumed so much energy when I'm not working." Ailian lay in front of the guardrail, and the shark tail behind him swayed gently with the fluctuations of his owner's mood.

Before they knew it, the two of them had walked from afternoon to dusk. If this path along the river had not been almost at the end, they probably would not have noticed the time.

"I haven't been so relaxed in a long time. Although I'm a little tired, I feel pretty good overall, don't I?" Zhong Yan said as he cast his gaze towards the city center on the other side of the river.

Hearing this, Ailian nodded slightly. Although she might be questioned by Lina after returning, it didn't matter to her at all.

Thinking of this, she involuntarily turned her head to look at Zhong Yan beside her. The boy's profile was deeply imprinted in her mind, making her heart beat faster.

As expected, I have an inexplicable feeling towards him.

She once longed for friendship, and Zhong Yan satisfied her, but she was not sure whether what she wanted now was the same as before.

Ailian didn't know whether this was good or bad, but judging from the current situation, this relationship seemed to give her great satisfaction.

So, she felt that she should go a step further.

Under the setting sun, the endless rainfall hit the wall under your feet, creating waves.

The boy is staring at his dream, while the girl's eyes are full of the boy.

......

When the last ray of sunset disappeared completely as it covered the horizon, Zhong Yan had already returned home.

He thought back on what happened today and found it somewhat unbelievable.

How could he do such a thing as skipping classes? It was really a shame that the walls of his house were covered with the Three Good Students Award Certificates.

On the way back, he was also thinking carefully about the unique Shark Girl today, especially the last words she said before they parted at the subway station.

"Regarding the maid outfit... I will try my best to satisfy you. Wait for my news."

The only drawback might be that he didn't get to enjoy her tail, but it didn't matter. He was already very satisfied to have made such great progress in one day.

On the other hand, the matter of the Red Tooth Gang cannot be put on hold and action must be continued tonight.

The senior member who managed the stronghold yesterday, in his memory, was likely to be given a new task by Bai Lao's confidants within the next two days.

At that time, I just need to follow quietly and I can catch the confidant of Bai Lao who assigned the task. In this way, it will not be difficult to grasp the whereabouts of Bai Lao.

As for the brother and sister, as long as we get them involved, the safe will be delivered to them personally.

Once the safe is in their hands, it won't be difficult for them to activate Fairy.

"Hey, what is this?"

The scene returns to the present. At the moment when he opened the door and was about to step into the house, Zhong Yan suddenly saw a cardboard box under the steps at the door out of the corner of his eye.

"Express delivery? I don't remember buying anything."

Slightly puzzled, he bent down and discovered that the name on the package was actually his pen name as a writer: Zhong Shuren.

This made Zhong Yan feel a little uneasy.

Sure enough, after opening the carton, he saw a pile of silver-white blades lying quietly inside.

"No, are you serious?"
