Uchiha of Zero Zone

Lying on the sofa, Zhong Yan picked up the coffee in his hand and took a sip. He was surprised to find that the coffee tasted sweet instead of bitter as he had imagined.

This made him think of the last time he skipped class to drink coffee with Ellen.

Could it be that Ailian remembered that he didn't like bitter coffee, so she added some sugar before serving it to him?

If that's true, it's so touching.

"Hey, it's really creepy that you keep staring at me like this..." The corners of Ailian's mouth twitched slightly, revealing an expression of great disgust.

It's really strange. I felt so comfortable when he stared at me in the dream, but why did he become so disgusting in reality?

Ailian was puzzled.

"Ahem, it's just that I haven't seen Ailian for a long time, and suddenly I think you are more beautiful than before." Zhong Yan realized that he had lost his composure and coughed twice awkwardly.

This flattery, which was completely devoid of any technical content, also made Ailian unable to help but roll her eyes at him: "You are so slick-tongued. If you have the time to talk like this, you should finish your coffee quickly and go back."

After saying that, Ailian stood up and walked into the room. The moment she closed the door, her breathing and heartbeat immediately began to accelerate, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

The cause of all this was Zhong Yan's compliment.

It was obviously flattery without any technical content, but for some reason, when such words came out of his mouth, Ailen still felt shy.

She even wanted to find a mirror to look at herself on the spot to see if she really looked better than before.

Sure enough, the same words sound completely different when spoken by people with different relationships.

Even though Ai Lian acted very disgusted with Zhong Yan, in fact, just sitting next to him made her heart beat fast.

Being able to hold out for so long without showing it is quite impressive.

"Ah... After having that dream, it's hard to even speak normally in front of him." Ailian squatted down and buried his head in his knees. The tail behind him kept shaking because of the owner's thoughts.

Zhong Yan, who was sitting on the sofa sipping coffee, was completely unable to understand Ailian's mood at the moment.

As long as Ailian's injuries recovered, it would be the best news for him.

Thinking of this, he put down the half-drunk coffee in his hand, then turned his gaze to Ailian's room, and happened to see Ailian coming out of the room.

In her hand, there was a box full of candies.

"You're still here..." Holding back her inner emotions, Ai Lian glanced at Zhong Yan pretending to be indifferent, then placed the box in her hand on the coffee table in front of the sofa, "You haven't been to school for a week, so these things are your compensation. You can eat as much as you want, but you are not allowed to take them away."

Looking at the dazzling array of candies in front of him, Zhong Yan knew that for Ailian, who loved sweets, these were definitely hard-earned luxury items.

Allowing him to eat unlimited amounts at her home was already Ailian's bottom line.

Zhong Yan naturally did not refuse such hospitality. He just drank coffee and ate candy...the taste was really strange and indescribable.

"By the way, this is for you." Putting a candy into his mouth, Zhong Yan suddenly remembered something and took out a bracelet from his pocket.

He found this bracelet by chance in a street shop on his way here.

Overall, this bracelet is exquisitely made. Even though the material is not particularly precious, its appearance alone makes it very appealing.

Moreover, on one corner of the bracelet, there was a cartoon shark-shaped decoration. It was because of seeing that shark that Zhong Yan bought it.

The purpose of buying it was naturally to give it to Ailian.

"Is this a gift for me?" Ai Lian was slightly stunned when she saw the bracelet that Zhong Yan suddenly took out.

After seeing the extremely eye-catching cartoon shark on the bracelet, she immediately understood why the other party chose such a gift for her.

"You...why did you buy me something like this?" Knowing Zhong Yan's intention, Ai Lian took the bracelet without thinking, and looked at it carefully in her hand.

To be honest, the appearance of this bracelet is indeed novel, but the overall beauty is not very high. Zhong Yan does not have that kind of vision, so he did not consider it too much when buying it.

However, in a sense, this was the first gift Zhong Yan gave her, so Ai Lian liked it very much.

The reason why she liked it was not because the bracelet was so beautiful, but simply because it was a gift from Zhong Yan.

"Thank you, Zhong Yan. I will keep it well."

When the sudden gift broke through Ailian's carefully arranged defenses, the girl's love for the boy once again reached an unprecedented peak.

A subtle meaning began to permeate the air.

In fact, nothing unspeakable happened between the two of them after that.

On the contrary, after giving the gifts, Zhong Yan chose to leave very honestly.

The purpose of his visit to Ailian's house was simply to visit her. After all, she was seriously injured, and even if she wanted to recuperate, it would probably take a long time.

However, sharks have strong self-healing abilities, so Ellen recovered much faster than the average person.

Otherwise, she would probably still be in the hospital now, and would have no chance to go back home.

By the way, don’t eat sugar immediately after drinking coffee. The sweet taste with a hint of bitterness is really hard to describe.

......

Time began to pass rapidly after Zhong Yan's life returned to normal.

Following the brother and sister to explore the cave and complete the commission seems to have become a part of Zhong Yan's daily life.

In the past, he could use his divine power to move freely in the cave without having to consider factors such as the route.

But now, after many collaborations with the Phaethon brothers and sisters, he had learned a lot about void exploration.

Even if he cannot be called a professional now, he is at least a real cave robber.

Even without the company of the Phaethon siblings, he was able to explore the cave alone as "Zhong Yan" using only the carrot data loaded into Xiao Pei's body.

Of course, if there is only one person, then the identity of "Uchiha" is more comfortable.

No matter how detailed the carrot data is drawn, it will never be as good as Shenwei's space transfer.

In the near future, the municipal election is about to begin, and the security forces in New Erito will be strengthened to a higher level again, which also means that the main storyline of the game is about to begin.
