The next day, at six o'clock in the morning, the sky was still blue-grey, with only bright white clouds shining in the direction of the horizon, and the sun was still below the sea surface.
In the Black Stone Mansion, the petite Sanwu girl got up early as always.
Opening the window, the sea breeze blew in. Looking at the figure outside the window, her ice-like eyes softened.
Zero is in a good mood.
To say that she is very happy or excited, it is definitely not the case. She is not the type of cat like Xia Ya who will immediately reflect her emotions into actions, nor is she the type of cat like Eri who doesn't know how to hide her feelings at all.
Dog type.
With Zero's character, even when she is happy, it is difficult for ordinary people to notice any changes in her from usual times.
This is not a deliberate attempt to hide it, but Zero itself has this cold style. Her happiness is like the water flowing quietly under hundreds of meters of polar ice, clear and quiet.
If Ling had heard Lu Mingze's words yesterday afternoon, she would have had the same questions as Su Mo.
Will she be in a bad mood later? Why doesn’t she know it?
Fortunately, she didn't know this and didn't need to question it.
After washing up, she put on a maid outfit in the style of a princess dress, went to the kitchen to prepare some ingredients, and took out cat food and dog food to feed the cats and dogs.
The cat food in the villa was naturally prepared for the two Siamese cats. The dog food was specially bought by the housekeeper after seeing Fenrir the day before yesterday. At that time, Su Mo said that there was no need to continue buying dog food. Fenrir would eat ordinary humans.
Food was enough. Unexpectedly, Fenrir dived into the dog food in front of him. He ate it deliciously and was not picky at all. Xia Mi had no objection at all to this.
As a result, dog food became one of Fenrir's main food sources.
And just as she was passing by the corridor to the bedroom, a door suddenly opened with a "click".
Immediately, a sinful white wrist poked out from inside. Just like something filmed in an ordinary horror movie, it grabbed Zero's wrist and then pulled the petite and weak girl directly like a monster opening its mouth to eat.
Got in.
With a "bang", the door to the room closed, leaving an empty corridor.
Inside the room.
Zero, who was swallowed by the suddenly opened room, looked at the scene in front of him speechlessly.
A curvy girl with an extremely hot figure seems to be doing ninja training stretching exercises on the bed. This scene should have been extremely sexy - if she hadn't been covered in dog food.
"What are you doing?"
The Sanwu girl turned her head speechlessly, looked at Su Enxi, the culprit who had knocked over the bag of dog food, and asked her questions.
It was Su Enxi who didn't pay attention when he pulled her in just now, which caused the scene in front of him.
"I just want to scare you and then bring you in to talk..."
Su Enxi said with an embarrassed look.
"I know."
Zero nodded.
If she hadn't sensed that it was Su Enxi's aura and she hadn't resisted, how could the other party have been able to pull her away? Not to mention that she was already an emperor-level hybrid. Even if she wasn't, with her fighting skills, she could easily deflect a Junyan.
.
"What I want to ask is why you two sleep in the same room...but let's not talk about that now."
After sighing, Zero shook the sheets and collected the dog food into a fruit bowl on the side. Su Enxi immediately stepped forward to help. Mai Shutoku stood up directly, and the dog food scattered in a large area.
After a few minutes, they cleared up the scene.
Su Enxi pulled off the sheets, then pretended to wipe the mattress with her sleeves, and then let Ling sit down.
After that, she sat aside and answered Zero's question just now.
"We sleep together because we wanted to invite you to have a nanny group tea party last night!"
She pointed to the black tea and cakes on the table next to her, and then spread her hands helplessly.
"Who would have known that you were busy following Su Mo yesterday, and even made him a late-night snack. You had no time to care about us at all, so we had to stay alone in the empty boudoir!"
Because Ling has been following Su Mo, their nanny group can be said to have been together less and more apart recently. They finally got together, but Ling still didn't have time.
Hearing what Su Enxi said, Ling explained calmly.
"What Su Mo is learning is the highest secret of alchemy. In order to maintain his best learning condition, it is necessary to replenish sugar regularly."
"Oh↓↑! It's necessary~ You didn't make me a supper when I worked overtime all night before. Is it necessary when it's Su Mo's turn?"
Su Enxi held her chin and teased in a weird tone.
"When I went on missions at night, I didn't have any late-night snacks."
Mai Shutoku stood on the floor and stretched, and also cooperated with Su Enxi's teasing.
Seeing the two people approaching him from the left to the right, the expressions on their faces seemed to be a little malicious, Zero did not panic at all, and maintained his cold expression and said.
"This is different."
"What's different?"
Su Enxi asked with a wicked smile.
"Is it because the people are different, or is it that the feelings towards people are different?"
"No, it has nothing to do with any of this."
Seeing her instructive words, the expression on Zero's face remained unchanged, and she spoke confidently.
"It is my task to take care of Su Mo, but it is not my task to take care of you."
Hearing this, Su Enxi and Jiude Mai looked at each other, not surprised that Ling would use this as a reason.
"You mean, if you didn't have the task of taking care of Su Mo, you wouldn't take care of Su Mo?"
Su Enxi smiled evilly and continued to ask.
"...I will carry out the task as required."
After hesitating for a moment, Zero replied.
"Yes, yes! You are a killer, you have no emotions, you only perform tasks!"
Su Enxi approached Ling laughingly, and then pinched her face in a funny way.
The plain white face was smoother than pudding, and the petite body was as motionless as a doll. Su Enxi felt a little addicted for a while, and Jiude Mai on the side looked a little eager to move.
This is an exquisite life-size doll!
Zero couldn't help but frown.
"Why are you pinching me?"
She didn't care too much about the touch of her close friend, just like she didn't mind the contact with Xia Ya and Eriki, but she was a little dissatisfied with the disapproval on Su Enxi's face.
It was as if she was trying to show off her strength just now and said something against her will.
"I'm just curious whether you have been under the bad influence of Xiao Longnu recently, otherwise how could you be as tough-talking as her, hahaha!"
Su Enxi laughed and joked, Xia Mi hasn't woken up yet anyway, so there's no need to be afraid.
Hearing what she said, Ling looked helpless at first. Two seconds later, her eyes suddenly widened and her eyes focused on the door behind Su Enxi, as if she saw someone unexpected.
Seeing Ling's reaction, Su Enxi's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a very bad premonition.
No way, didn't Xiao Longnu sneak into Xiao Baicai's room yesterday? With Su Mo's bloodline, even if he is defeated, he should be able to persist for a long time, right? In this case, how could she get up so early?
What kind of luck does she have that she was caught just talking bad about Xia Mi?
She closed her eyes and began to pray in her heart that it must not be Xia Mi.
At this moment, Zero spoke.
"Xia Mi, why did you wake up so early?"
As soon as these words came out, Su Enxi's body completely stiffened.
It’s over!
It's very difficult to fool the same trick once. Xia Mi will definitely not fall for it the second time, and if Xia Mi's new and old debts are settled together...
Thinking of this possibility of death, without waiting for Xia Mi to say anything, Su Enxi simply closed her eyes and performed a 540-degree Thomas rotation that she had practiced many times recently. She also practiced a proficient Doge seat, and directly performed a fancy posture.
Lying on the floor.
"Miss, you are wronged. I was wrong. I didn't say anything. It was just a slip of the tongue!"
After holding his head and admitting his mistake, the scene became quiet.
After five or six seconds, Su Enxi noticed something was wrong and slowly raised her head.
Only then did she notice that there was no one in front of her and the door was not open at all.
When she straightened up and took a look, Mai Shutoku was looking at her with a look of amazement, as if she was amazed by her advanced soil seat. Considering Su Enxi's muscles and bones that had not been exercised much, it must have been a lot of hard work to achieve this level.
It's flowing smoothly!
As for Ling, she continued to sit obediently on the edge of the bed, looking at herself with an innocent face, as if she was not the one who scared Su Enxi just now.
Su Enxi was completely stunned. She was actually fooled by Ling?
With just one sentence and a little acting skills, she was forced to act like a deluxe version of Dogeza?
She slowly stood up and stared at the little sister with a sad face.
"Zero, you've learned too much!"
The little cotton-padded jacket that was so considerate has now turned into a black-hearted cotton-padded jacket!
Sure enough, it is not easy to learn well, but it is easy to learn badly.
"Is there any?"
The Sanwu girl blinked, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and asked calmly.
This cheeky gesture has quite the charm of Su Mo.
"Of course!"
Su Enxi gritted her teeth and sat back down.
Watching the confrontation between the two, Mai Shutoku showed a faint smile.
"It seems that you were right, Potato Chip Girl. Our Royal Highness has indeed changed a lot now. Not only does she like to laugh more than before, she also takes the initiative to make jokes now."
She was a little happy to see Zero change from a state as cold as ice to a state that was less like ice.
"I would be happier if it wasn't me who was scared."
Su Enxi sighed.
Although Zero used to be a bit shady from time to time, he was not as lively as he is now, and he was not as... cheeky as he is now.
The eyes of both of them were somewhat pleased, but the only one who felt dissatisfied was Ling who was looked at like this by the two of them.
"I haven't seen any changes. It's just your observation that's wrong."
She said seriously, as if she really meant it.
"Yes, yes, you haven't changed, nor are you addicted to your current life. You didn't put on this princess dress to be a maid just to show Su Mo!"
Su Enxi nodded one after another, but the words that came out of her mouth were rare for Ling to find difficult to refute.
She did not specifically choose the style Su Mo liked, nor did she want to show it to Su Mo.
When she was choosing clothes, she just remembered that Su Mo had casually praised the cuteness of this piece, so she just picked it up without any extra thought.
It's a pity that Su Enxi will definitely not accept this explanation.
After silencing Zero with his casual remarks, Su Enxi sighed again.
"I finally know why the boss placed Sanwuniu next to Su Mo. It seems that he finally realized that there was something wrong with the previous education policy and finally understood how to raise a daughter!"
Although the appearance and body are exactly that of a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old loli, if you look at her mental age, Zero is actually—well, she is also a loli.
When she escaped from Black Swan Port, Zero was a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old loli.
However, under Lu Mingze's previous tool-man mentality, Ling Ling suppressed his previous temperament excessively and trained himself into a sharp knife according to Lu Mingze's requirements.
So much so that in the past ten years, her mental age has not grown much.
Lu Mingze told her about the cruelty of the world and asked her to arm herself with ice, snow and strength, but she didn't realize that beneath her ice-covered sea, she still had a young heart.
Of course, even if she is immature and possesses enough experience, Zero will not be as naive as Eriki. She is also equipped with the same armor mentally, and others cannot touch her heart at all, let alone hurt her.
However, people cannot suppress their emotions forever. This is an unsustainable state, but Zero has persisted for more than ten years.
If you don’t break out in silence, you will perish in silence.
They had been worried about Ling's condition and discussed this issue with Lu Mingze, but in the end they did not get any results.
What Lu Mingze meant at that time was to consider surviving first and then other things.
Obviously, he has a strong sense of crisis and a strong worry about the future, so he specially made Zero's strength special, just like a parent who has only a short time to beat his child with a whip to let her learn to live independently.
Skill.
But now, since meeting Su Mo, Lu Mingze seems to have changed his previous policy and is not as anxious as before.
Zero also changed a lot under the influence of Su Mo and Xia Mi, and his suppressed temperament gradually came to life.
"Yes, girls will automatically start to grow up in front of the person they like."
Mai Shutoku nodded like someone who had come before, and then guessed.
"Maybe the boss knew it before, but he just couldn't find anyone worthy of entrusting him. After all, there are conditions for stocking."
Hearing the conversation between the two and noticing the almost tacit attitude between the two, Zero frowned slightly.
"What are you talking about? I don't like it, I don't like anyone..."
She tried to change their ridiculous views.
However, the two people in the conversation ignored her blunt denial.
"Ah, yes, yes! You are a loli killer who has no affection, and you are not harsh at all!"
Su Enxi dealt with her casually, and then showed a thoughtful expression.
"Speaking of which... is love really so useful? Should I find someone to grow up with? Otherwise, wouldn't I become the worst one in our nanny group?"
"Is it possible that you are the weakest among us?"
Shutoku Mai teased.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Su Enxi argued hard.
Watching the two of them start to fight, Zero, who was sitting upright like a doll, quietly pressed his chest, showing a stunned expression.
like?
She is not Eriyi who doesn't know anything about men and women, so she doesn't even understand the meaning of this word.
Nor is he an idiot who is so stupid that he will not acknowledge the existence of corresponding emotions unless he expresses them.
But all along, she has indeed been unconsciously avoiding thinking in this regard.
As long as it was useful, she could survive. It didn't matter what she liked or disliked, so she never tried to sort out her thoughts.
Su Mo had encouraged her to say similar words to Eriki before, but after forcing herself to say it, she quickly returned to her old habits.
Until today, two companions who had not seen each other for a long time confirmed the changes in themselves so confidently.
Zero finally realized, or had to make himself aware of this matter.
Unlike most girls, Zero, who was aware of this problem, did not feel shy, nor did he feel the need to react in unnecessary ways such as blushing.
The first thing that came to her mind was - what is the definition of like?
Without a specific definition and scope of application, there is no way to start the discussion.
