Absolute Zone Zero: I am a Succubus in Six Points Street

Liu Du felt a little embarrassed and smoothed the hair that fell on his cheek with his hand. Cang Jiao, who was standing next to him, was the same as usual, and there was nothing special about him.

But after Asaba Yuma asked this, Cangjiao immediately raised his hand happily.

"I know, I know! Sister Liu... mmm!"

"Sangjiao, you probably didn't have enough breakfast, did you? There are some snacks on your table, go eat some first."

"Oh, yeah!"

Cangjiao ran back to his seat happily. Although he didn't reveal anything, Yue Chengliu's behavior aroused the curiosity of the two people in the office.

"Liu, what happened?"

Xing Jianya walked forward and asked curiously, but it was obvious that Yue Chengliu didn't want to answer her.

"If I remember correctly, there seems to be a performance review meeting this afternoon. If Section Chief Ya doesn't let me prepare now, I'm afraid..."

"I understand. Don't worry, no one will bother you."

Xing Jianya nodded seriously. Compared with the curiosity in her heart, being able to avoid the performance review meeting was more important.

After seeing this, Asaba Yuma quietly returned to his seat. Although he gave up the idea of ​​asking, he still made some guesses in his mind.

"Looking at the deputy section chief, it's like she's in love, but is someone like her in love?"

Yuzhen shook his head. He really couldn't imagine that the deputy section chief would have a partner, because Liu was really too outstanding.

Whether it's her motherly, gentle, and attentive treatment of those around her, or her strength and work ability, is there really anyone who can match such a strong woman?

But soon, Asaba Yuma stopped thinking about this problem and instead thought, since the deputy section chief is in such a good mood today, will the probability of my request for leave being successful be greater?

He was about to take action, but was forced back by the gaze of Hoshimi Miyabi, who did not want to attend the performance review meeting.

At this moment, Yue Chengliu was also whispering instructions to Cang Jiao beside him.

"Cangjiao, can you promise me not to tell anyone about what happened yesterday?"

"Hey, why is that? Sister Liu."

"There are many reasons. Anyway, I feel a little embarrassed now. If possible, I would like to explain it myself later. Can Cang Jiao agree to this?"

"No problem, Sister Liu, I promise to complete the task!"

Cang Jiao patted his chest with his hand, making such a loud noise that it attracted the attention of the other two people in the office.

Liu felt helpless when she saw this. She really had no way to deal with Cang Jiao. After all, she was just a child. Reminding her like this would only make her be careful. She might let something slip at any time.

Chapter 228 Lucy: Zhe, this is too deep... (referring to the topic)

Huh? Isn't this Lucy? Why didn't she tell me she came from the Outer Ring?

Zhe, who had just come downstairs after taking a shower, saw a blonde girl wearing a helmet standing next to the shelves of the video store.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and when Zhe approached, she could still vaguely hear the other person muttering.

"Tsk... I feel inexplicably upset, as if someone is watching me..."

"Hmm? Are you talking about me?"

When Zhe approached and heard Lucy's words, he couldn't help but point at himself, but the latter shook her head.

"No, I won't be upset if you're looking at me... Wait, what did you make me say?!"

Lucy gritted her teeth and stared at Zhe in front of her with a blushing face. Because of her height, she had to raise her head to see Zhe's face.

But this made her look particularly cute, and seeing Zhe's expression that seemed to want to laugh, Lucy couldn't help but grit her teeth and puff up her face.

But suddenly she seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye.

“…That is, could it be that…”

Noticing Lucy's gaze, Zhe subconsciously wanted to look over, but the former immediately stopped him.

"Zhe, don't look over there. That's right, just keep chatting with me. Don't look at that man in a suit over there."

Zhe obediently did not turn his head. As for the man in the suit that Lucy mentioned, he seemed to have noticed him before, and he seemed to be secretly watching this side.

"What a sudden! Alright Lucy, what are we going to talk about?"

"What to talk about? It doesn't matter, just talk about something you like. Movies or something..."

"Oh? Lucy actually knows I like movies."

Zhe felt a little surprised, as he seemed to have never mentioned his preferences to the other party before. Lucy snorted when she heard it.

"Don't act like I care about you, okay? You own a video store and you're surrounded by these movies every day. Only someone who hates movies would do that.

Everyone is the same; they only choose the life they can tolerate. When life becomes unbearable, people will fight, flee, or fight first and then flee. It is impossible to stay where you are.

Lucy spoke her thoughts, and Zhe believed that the second half of the sentence should be her true feelings.

"Like Lucy couldn't stand her old life?"

"Well...I didn't say that."

Lucy covered her mouth with her hands, obviously realizing that she had just said too much, and immediately wanted to change the subject.

"Hey, Zhe, don't you think today's conversation is a bit too in-depth?

I'm not Bernice, the type to stand in a crowded place and talk loudly with friends about the meaning of life..."

Having said that, Lucy put her hands behind her back and looked away with an unnatural expression, seeming a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Huh? So Lucy and I are just ordinary friends? I thought we would be closer."

"Hey, what do you mean? No, if we're not friends, what else can we be?"

Lucy's face suddenly became even redder, as if she had thought of something. Her favorability also rose by 5 points to 75 points.

"Lucy's face is turning red. What's going on?"

Zhe took advantage of the situation and continued teasing with a smile on his face.

"Because... because it's hot. Don't you think it's much hotter inside New Aili City than in the outer ring?"

Of course, Lucy couldn't directly admit that she was indeed talented in business and trade, but in the field of love, facing Zhe's teasing, she was just a girl after all.

"Well, it's getting late, I'll go back first!"

"It's a rare visit, Lucy, why don't you stay for a while?"

"No need, I just stopped by to see you guys, and now it's almost time to go back!

Also, as a friend, next time I need you, you must not refuse! This is what friends should do for friends!

After saying this, Lucy left without staying for long. As for the man in the suit, he also left the video store shortly afterwards.

Zhe felt something was wrong, so he followed her. However, after seeing Lucy ride away on her bike, the man in the suit did not continue to follow her.

Instead, he turned to look at Zhe, then walked straight towards him, and spoke politely when he came in front of him.

"Hello, are you Missy's friend?"

"Uh, yes, you are?"

"Let me introduce myself. I'm not a suspicious person, but someone sent by Master Montev to observe the young lady's life."

Following the introduction of the man in the suit, Zheye completely understood that Lucy's father was worried about her and wanted to find out about her living conditions.

Although this seems to be beyond the normal scope of concern, Lucy also knows about this matter. She is still an outsider and it is not appropriate for her to get involved in it.

Anyway, since it was a misunderstanding, he felt relieved.

Zhe thought so in his heart, but since he was already out, he asked Master Qiaopu if he knew where to find a high-quality katana.

So I went to a ramen restaurant, and when I asked, I found out that there really was one. It was said to be a relatively hidden knife shop in the city.

After learning this information, Zhe immediately thanked Master Qiao Pu, returned to the video store, and after lunch, he set off for the store.

It was not until nightfall that he returned empty-handed. Although the quality of the swords in that knife shop was indeed good, they were still a little inferior.

When Zhe was using it, he only used a little bit of his strength, and cracks appeared on the blade.

It can be imagined that as long as he swings it hard, the entire knife will be completely ruined. It will be completely disposable and the price is not cheap.

Fortunately, when Zhe wanted compensation, the knife shop owner believed that it was a problem with the quality of his own knives. He refused the compensation and gave Zhe a brand new good knife for free.

Forced by his boss's enthusiasm, Zhe had no choice but to accept it. On the way back, he quietly found a deserted place and put it into the system space.

To be honest, there are too many things in the space and it’s a bit insufficient. Apart from some neatly folded blankets and towels, there are some miscellaneous things, and there are also Lina brand desserts that have been placed in the corner and no one cares about them.

So he decisively spent 500 emotion points to expand the system space to 2 cubic meters, and then went to buy Ling the food she wanted.

After doing all this, Zhe returned to Liufen Street. It was already late. As the sun set, the darkness quickly swallowed up the sky like ink soaking into white paper.

There were few pedestrians on the street, but when he passed an intersection on his way home, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure.

"Is that... Jane? No, she looks weird. Is she injured?"

Chapter 229 Miss Jane's Night Attack

After realizing this possibility, Zhe didn't care too much and ran over quickly.

When he came to Jane's side, the other party seemed to be a little confused. He supported himself on the wall with one hand, and his body was staggering, as if he was about to fall at any time.

"Jane, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Zhe's words were filled with worry, but Jian didn't seem to hear him. Her eyes were blank and almost closed completely, but she was still muttering softly.

"Zhe...Brother...Brother..."

After saying this, she was completely exhausted and fell into Zhe's arms with a reassuring smile on her face. The latter was shocked when he saw this.

He then quickly checked Jane's condition and fortunately she was just unconscious, so Zhe decided to take her back first.

Then Zhe put his arm around Jane's slender waist, and with his other hand he lifted up her long legs from below. The latter also cooperated very well and rested her head on his chest.

In order to avoid being seen by others and causing misunderstanding, Zhe quickly returned to the video store, but because of walking, Jane in his arms occasionally made some strange noises.

Sister, could you please not be like this right now? I haven't done anything yet!

After coming to the bed, reaching out and gently helping her take off her boots and placing them on her bed, Zheyi began to think about the current situation.

You know, when I met Jane a few days ago, she didn't seem to be normal. Could it be that something went wrong with the mission she was carrying out?

Zhe was thinking in his heart. After a long time, Jane on the bed finally woke up. She opened her eyes and looked at the strange yet somewhat familiar ceiling.

She glanced at Zhe standing beside the bed, and she immediately understood where she was.

"How did I end up here..."

Jane's every move, words and expressions at this moment showed great weakness, like a little girl who had just experienced something.

He looked aggrieved but also a little frightened. It was the first time Zhe had seen this, and he couldn't help but secretly take a photo.

After all, although Zhe could see the vulnerable side of Jian's heart, this was the first time he had shown it so directly.

"I saw you almost fainting on the side of the road, so I brought you back. How are you feeling? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Zhe's words revealed concern. Although he had just used his innate ability to help Jane recover, there was no harm in asking one more question.

"Ah... I see. It's really bad that you saw me in such a mess."

Although Jane was still a little weak, the weakness in her words was once again concealed by her, replaced by her usual strong side.

"I thought I could recover after a short rest, but I didn't expect to fall into a coma."

"Is there anything I can help you with? You kept calling my name when you were unconscious. You must be looking for me for help."

Jane was a little surprised by what Zhe suddenly mentioned, but she also felt a little shy inside.

Calling Zhe's name while unconscious? What a coincidence! No, or rather, it wasn't a coincidence. After all, he did bring me a sense of security.

When people are vulnerable, they always subconsciously want to find the person they trust most to help them. I'm afraid this is the case with me.

Jane thought so in her heart and shook her head.

"I didn't mean to cause you any trouble... Before I lost consciousness, I kept thinking about the scenes like every time I met you, how happy we were chatting and how at ease it made me feel.

That was a very warm memory, so I subconsciously said your name..."

When Jane said this, her face finally turned red, and it seemed that she could no longer suppress her inner shyness.

After noticing Zhe's expression at this moment, she lowered her head slightly and spoke with an evasive look.
