Uchiha of Zero Zone

"Ellen, what are you doing?"

Noticing that Ailian, who should have been resting on weekdays, was staring at her phone at this moment, Lina found it a little unbelievable and couldn't help but come up to ask.

Hearing Lina's voice, Ailian hurriedly put away the phone and explained in a panic: “Nothing...nothing, just chatting with a friend, he asked me why I didn’t go to school today.”

Ailian's answer and reaction made Lina see a clue from it. She immediately narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly: "Oh? I didn't expect that there are friends in the school who care about Ailian so much. I thought that with your personality, it would be difficult to get along with others."

Lina's words were not groundless. As the head maid, she was always paying attention to Ellen's situation at school.

Every time Ailian skipped class, the teacher would call Lina first. Lina had long been accustomed to this, but every time she went back, she would still give Ailian a few words of lecture.

Things like skipping classes are absolutely not allowed.

But Lina couldn't do anything to Ellen. All she could do each time was just a few words of instruction. As for whether Ellen listened or not, that was another matter entirely.

"It's too rude to say that. I have friends in school, okay? And we're friends for life." Ai Lian put the weapon behind her back. When she mentioned Zhong Yan, her tone changed a little, becoming less cold than usual.

The so-called life-long friendship actually refers to the fact that the two of them skipped class together last time.

No matter how you look at it, Zhong Yan, who took the initiative to offer to take her to skip classes, is an absolutely trustworthy companion. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a life-and-death friendship.

Lina was slightly stunned when she heard this, then she reacted and smiled a little unkindly: "Oh? Could it be the one who skipped class with you last time? I asked your teacher, and I heard it was a boy."

Lina doesn't care about Zhong Yan, whom she has never met, but he has a good relationship with Ailian and can be said to be Ailian's only friend in school.

This forced Lina to pay more attention to him, but whether in terms of academic performance or personal character, Zhong Yan was highly regarded by his teachers.

His family situation was even more miserable, and it was clearly stated in the archives that he was an orphan.

That year, his parents died in the Hole Zero disaster, leaving him alone to struggle in the newly built New Ailidu. It was really not easy for him to grow up and receive education.

Of course, all of this was just Zhong Yan’s fabricated experience. After all, neither his parents nor his past experiences could be verified in this world.

So no matter what he says, as long as the explanation is reasonable, it will be accepted.

At the beginning, Lina investigated Zhong Yan because she was afraid that he had bad intentions towards Ailian. Later, after getting to know him better, she realized that he was not a bad boy. On the contrary, he was very suitable to be Ailian's friend.

So, Lina stopped investigating Zhong Yan, and planned to visit him in person in the future to thank him for taking care of Ailian at school.

"Oh, Ailian is still a girl after all. It's okay. I support you two. The love between a boy and a girl is so enviable. If I could be younger..."

The scene returned to the present. Seeing that her little thoughts were exposed by Lina's words, Ailian's cheeks suddenly turned red.

Afterwards, she felt a little embarrassed and quickly found an excuse to escape the scene: "Um... I'll go ask the boss what the next plan is. Don't mention this matter anymore."

Looking at Ailian's hurriedly leaving back, Lina said nothing, but showed a kind smile, like an old mother looking at her daughter who was about to get married.

"I'm so happy, Elen-chan."

......

[Ailian: I will come to school tomorrow and treat you to candy]

[Ailian: Let’s stop talking for now. I have something else to do.]

In the classroom, looking at the reply letter from Ailian, Zhong Yan smiled bitterly with some helplessness.

As expected of a combat maid, she is very busy.

But isn't there too much work at Victoria Housekeeping recently?

I remember that in order to deal with the Red Tooth Gang, Zhong Yan didn't come to school for several days, and during those days, Ai Lian also didn't come to school.

Logically speaking, Victoria Housekeeping rarely has full-time work. Even if there are some task targets, they will be completed in specific time periods.

Therefore, Ailian's frequent absences from class were obviously a bit abnormal.

The only reasonable explanation is that the housekeeping department encountered some big troubles, which prevented her from coming to school.

"A task that can cause trouble to the Housekeeping Group... Could it be that the plot of the Barley Building has been brought forward?" Zhong Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In the game's plot, the only thing that gave the four members of the Housekeeping Team a headache was the operation to rescue Ryan at the Barley Building.

But right now, there are still at least a few months before the Barley Building plot arrives.

Unless it was the butterfly effect caused by Zhong Yan's appearance that caused the progress of the world line to be advanced, it would not make sense.

As thoughts were surging in my mind, before I knew it, it was time to go home from school.

It was not until the bell rang that Zhong Yan came back to his senses from his thoughts. He then put on his schoolbag and ran towards the subway station at a rapid speed as usual.

At the same time, he was also considering that if Ailian often did not come to school in the future, it would be better to let the shadow clone go to school in his place.

Anyway, he was just staying at home and sleeping, so the possibility of people discovering that there were two Zhong Yans was not very high.

......

As usual, Zhong Yan took the subway to Jiufen Street Station and got off the train. Since there were no special activities today, he chose to go home directly.

And in a box not far from his doorstep, he suddenly found a very strange person.

He was a man who looked less than 30 years old and had a very common flat hairstyle.

From a distance, he looked like a sleeping lion, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

However, such a lion-like man was squatting in the corner of the alley, holding a sausage he had just bought in his hand, and feeding a litter of stray cats that no one had adopted.

The kitten being fed was very well-behaved, and would meow at the man from time to time, which was extremely cute.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Yan couldn't help but stop and look for a few more times. During this time, the other party actually noticed his presence and turned to look at him.

A handsome face that seemed to have been highly photoshopped by a camera immediately caught Zhong Yan's sight.
