Li Ai pushed open the door and returned to the living room, back in front of Zhang Zhou and Lu Ji. She was silent for a moment, and finally raised her eyes, as if she wanted to say something to Zhang Zhou, but Zhang Zhou shook her head and interrupted her movements.

He stretched out his hand and showed the cheap knockoff smartphone in his hand, and the large Arabic numerals indicating the time displayed on it made Li Ai's mind blank for more than ten seconds before he came to his senses. She hurried to the dining table, grabbed the mobile phone that was placed there, and after reconfirming the time, she hurriedly dialed the head teacher's phone.

She must quickly renew her leave with the head teacher, otherwise he will call her to ask about her 'guardian's current situation. Once he is asked to call his uncle, the space she has been desperately guarding for only her and her parents will allow other people to stay in for a long time!

She was so panicked that the strong mask she had finally put on again was shattered in front of him, exposing the vulnerability she had re-concealed! Zhang Zhou quietly watched her panicked movements, and once again confirmed the idea in her heart.

So, after she finished the phone call in a panic, Zhang Zhou spoke. "Li Ai." He whispered her name, then paused, and went on without waiting for her response. "Be my companion."

Ha? Li Ai froze in place, why is this happening? Clearly...... In her plan, there is obviously a buffer time, huh? How could such a conversation arise so early? Moreover, she has clearly decided that she will not promote the implementation of the plan during the time she takes care of Midorihime...... Also, why, why did the people who brought it up...... It's him?

"Maybe it's because I can't help myself, but, I, ah, I want to stand by your side and face those ...... with you" Zhang Zhou's face was a little more rosy. It is indeed a bit shy to let him say such words.

"Heh," Zhang Zhou's words were interrupted by Li Ai's short, cold voice, "Zhang Zhou," she squinted at him, her eyes full of coldness, "Are you pitying me?" ”

"No...... I didn't mean that! Zhang Zhou hurriedly denied it, but Li Ai waved his hand to stop his words, "Those words, let's talk about them later." She stood up and walked over to Midorihime.

"No, wait......" Zhang Zhou stood up, trying to stop Li Ai's movements. Li Ai stopped abruptly, and said coldly without looking back, "Time has been wasted enough...... Do you want to waste more time on this kind of thing, Midorihime's already short time? ”

"I ......" Zhang Zhou was speechless for a while.

"Let's go, there are still many reservations." She turned her back to him and said this sentence for the second time, then turned her head and stared at Zhang Zhou with a cold gaze. "Also, don't think about it for the rest of your time...... The matter between us, don't get involved in Midorihime's final journey. ”

……

That being said, it's okay not to mention it. But how can you not think about it? Looking at Li Ai, who came out of the aquarium and silently held Lu Ji's hand and walked on the busy street, several meters away from him, Zhang Zhou sighed in his heart.

See, you can't do that.

How can the effects of such a thing really disappear just because of your warning, not to mention it? Zhang Zhou thought like this, lowered his head and sighed, but when he looked up, he suddenly saw Li Ai stop, and then turned his head to look at him. He stopped in shock, waiting for her to keep the distance she had been keeping in the first place.

However, she did not move, but looked straight at him. Hey, aren't you talking? I don't have the same abilities as you, so it's hard to understand what you mean. Wait, do you say...... Are you trying to get me to follow? Zhang Zhou tried to take his own steps towards her, but she didn't move, still looking at him quietly. So he strode over to where she was, and stood beside Midorihime, raising his hand to interlock his fingers with her, who was only visible to him.

"Let's go, it's already green." Zhang Zhou said this, and then prepared to take the initiative to pull Lu Ji and Li Ai forward. However, a huge force suddenly came from the hand that interlocked with Midorihime's ten fingers, pressing him in place. He looked back in amazement, facing Midorihime's somewhat angry face. She pursed her lips and said angrily in his head in a voice that no one else could hear, 'No quarrel! ’

She muttered, and then ...... Then she pressed his and Li Ai's hands together.

"......" Zhang Zhou looked at the hand that was forcibly pressed to the back of Li Ai's hand by Lu Ji, with an inexplicable expression. He took a deep breath, then hurriedly sighed at Midorihime, who was stubbornly holding their hands tighter and tighter. "Midorihime, that's not the case, we didn't quarrel."

‘? The two hands that Green Ji had tried to press into the middle stopped in place, tilting her head and looking at Zhang Zhou steadily, waiting for his explanation. Zhang Zhou's lips squirmed, and he secretly glanced at Li Ai, who was hanging his head down, although he couldn't see his expression clearly, he could feel the strong murderous aura emanating from her, and hurriedly spoke. He suspected that if he spoke a second late, something bad would definitely happen to him.

"Anyway, let's let go first, okay? So I can't explain it? ”

'Oh. Midori slowly parted the hands of the two of them that were clinging to each other, and then showed an expectant expression to Zhang Zhou. Zhang Zhou rubbed his forehead, wanting to say something to explain, but he couldn't think of suitable words. He couldn't help but look at Li Ai for help, but found that she was still hanging her head, although she didn't have the killing intent that she had at that time, she still looked unwilling to talk to him.

It seems that he can only solve this unexpected situation with his own strength. However, he didn't know how to fool the past!! He roared like madness in his mind, and at this moment, he suddenly missed the golden light that was lodged in his right eye.

If it were 'him', what would he do? He thought about it like this, then lowered his head, stretched out his finger to point at himself, and whispered to Midorihime, who was just right up to his shoulder, "Now, Midorihime, do you trust me?" ”

'Hmm. Midorihime nodded without hesitation.

"That'...... Do you trust her? Zhang Zhou dropped his finger pointing at himself and pointed at Li Ai, who had been hanging his head. Hearing this question, Li Ai's body trembled, and he seemed to be very concerned about this question.

'Hmm. Midorihime replied crisply.

"That's right, since you trust the two of us, then why don't you believe me when I say we didn't quarrel?" Zhang Zhou hurriedly said this, and then pulled Lu Ji, who had not yet recovered, and ran quickly.

"Well, that's it, don't think about it, you just have to trust us." Running through the street entrance that was about to turn the signal light from red to green, Zhang Zhou turned to Lu Ji who was still frowning and thinking about something.

'Huh? Midorihime pouted in annoyance, not knowing what to do for a moment. At this time, Zhang Zhou hurriedly added a fire, "Speaking of which, which one do you like the most of what we did yesterday?" Let's go ahead and do that today! ”

‘…… Sleep together and look at the face code!! When she talked about this topic, Midorihime's eyes instantly burst into an extremely excited light.

"......" Zhang Zhou was speechless for a while.

"Whatever she says she wants to do, I'll do it with her." Just when Zhang Zhou was infinitely entangled, Li Ai's voice interjected. Zhang Zhou couldn't help but raise his eyes, facing her eyes that were still a little cold.

Hey, if you knew what she wanted to do, would you have said yes so much? Facing her somewhat terrifying eyes, Zhang Zhou snorted, and finally nodded in agreement.

"So, let's talk about what she wants to do, I'll change the itinerary." Although he was a little happy that she was finally willing to speak to him after nearly four hours since then, it was a good time to ask the question...... He would rather she still ignore him......
