Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

But there are two problems here.

First of all, this behavior is actually considered double-crossing.

Ultimately, this behavior is not much different from that of those other people.

It's just a difference in the choice of objects.

Secondly, what money do you expect from a group of containment creatures?

However, this didn't matter after Luo Zhen was discovered by the research institute.

The regular salary paid by the research institute is enough to cover their expenses.

"That's it."

Joseph nodded, indicating that he understood.

After finishing the last bite of noodles on his plate, Joseph casually wiped his mouth and said:

"What are your plans next?"

"I need to go back and do my homework."

"I was just saying it offhand."

Joseph looked at Rozen with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

It was just a casual joke.

"I'm serious too."

Luo Zhen stared with dead fish eyes and said.

He really intends to go back and do his homework.

I don't know who upset Hiratsuka Shizuka today, but she assigned a lot more homework than usual.

"Ok."

Scratching his head, Joseph suddenly had a subtle feeling.

That crimson figure left a very deep impression on him.

And now, this guy actually has to go back and do his homework properly.

how to say?

I feel like laughing?

"Pfft."

"You're already laughing."

Luo Zhen ignored Joseph's inexplicable laughter.

He needs to go back and do his homework now.

He didn't want to face an angry Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Goodbye, Brother Luo Zhen.

"Goodbye."

Joseph, leaning back in his chair, waved casually at Rozen.

He showed no intention of getting up.

Luo Zhen didn't pay any attention and left with his little schoolbag.

When he got home, the door next door was open.

"Ah, good evening, Senior Luo Zhen."

A girl with dark purple hair walked out carrying a trash bag.

Judging from her expression, she was very reluctant to go out to throw out the trash at night.

But there was nothing I could do; I'd been tricked by that scoundrel of a father after making the bet.

Aki Tomoya lives to the left of Rajin's house.

The girl's home is on the right.

Good evening, Liang.

Ming Piaoliang, 14 years old, is a student at Zongwu High School Affiliated Junior High School.

His outstanding academic performance may be attributed to having a criminal investigator father and a gentle yet somewhat strict mother.

If nothing unexpected happens, I will attend Soubu High School in the future.

However, Luo Zhen should be in college by then.

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Box in the Schoolbag

"Senior Luo Zhen came back very late today."

Ming Piaoliang asked with some curiosity.

Luo Zhen had been coming home quite early the past few days, usually before dark.

They arrived home around the same time as her, a junior high school student.

"There was a slight mishap with my part-time job."

Instead of rushing inside, Luo Zhen and Ming Piaoliang chatted idly in the hallway.

He had a good impression of this cheerful and strong girl.

"An accident? Are you alright?"

"I asked with some concern," Ming Piaoliang asked.

Luo Zhen had a good impression of Narumi Ryou, and Narumi Ryou felt the same way.

He's much more reliable than my own father.

Thinking of the father who had cheated his daughter, Narumi puffed up her cheeks unhappily.

"It's okay, and I even got overtime pay."

This is a lie.

Aside from a fixed salary, the research institute does not offer overtime pay.

Because under normal circumstances, research institute members are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

They must immediately enter combat mode as soon as a containment object appears.

Although there are holidays, there is no such thing as working overtime.

Unless injured during a mission or for other reasons, there will be additional compensation.

Otherwise, everyone would receive roughly the same salary.

Except for the people in the research lab.

"That's it."

Nodding knowingly, Narumi said with a hint of envy:

"I also want to find a suitable part-time job."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhen looked at Ming Piaoliang with some surprise.

Logically speaking, Ming Piaoliang should have enough pocket money.

Naruhira Akito is quite good to his daughter.

Although he might occasionally tease his daughter in a serious manner, he would never be stingy in this regard.

"I just wanted to experience this kind of part-time job."

Seemingly noticing Luo Zhen's confusion, Narumi Ryou explained with a smile.

This independent girl always wanted to prove to her father that she was no longer a child.

But each time, he would be mocked by Akito Naruhira for various reasons.

"That's it."

Luo Zhen expressed his understanding.

Teenage girls are always eager to prove that they are no longer young.

The same applies to the gourd-shaped cypress.

Although I don't wear makeup, dress up, or integrate into popular groups like some girls.

But she also had her own ideas.

"Liang, who are you talking to?"

Hearing Ryou's voice, Akito Naruhira peeked out from inside the door.

He looked very young at the time, not at all like the father of a middle school girl.

Compared to his imprisonment in the cell, he exuded a vibrant energy.

Using "energetic" to describe a man in his thirties might not be quite appropriate.

But in fact, Akito Naruhira looks really young.

"Oh, it's Luo Zhen. Do you have any club activities today?"

Upon seeing Luo Zhen, Naruhira Akito asked with a smile.

Good evening, Uncle Mingpiao.

Luo Zhen first greeted Naruhira Akito, and then explained to him again using the same excuse.

After hearing this, Akito Narihira didn't think much of it.

After exchanging a few casual words with Luo Zhen, he turned to Narumi and said:

"Liang, what are you still standing here for?"

The disgust on his face was obvious at a glance.

Naruhira's face darkened, and he turned around, made a face at Naruhira Akito, and ran away quickly.

"Be careful, come back after you're done throwing it."

Standing at the door, Akito Narumi called out to Ryou Narumi.

Narumi Ryou, carrying a garbage bag, waved without replying as she jogged along.

Seeing this, Akihito Narumiya stopped paying attention.

Ming Piaoliang has always been a very reassuring child.

Although he had some resentment towards Naruhira Akito for often working overtime and not going home, he expressed his understanding.

"Then I'll go back first."

After saying goodbye to Akito Narumi, Luo Zhen returned to his room.

After entering the house, I turned on the light in the entryway, which brought some light to the dimly lit room.

Luo Zhen tossed his schoolbag aside and sank into the soft sofa.

Scrolling aimlessly through his phone, Luo Zhen told himself:

"I'll play for another ten minutes, then I'll go do my homework."

ten minutes later--

'Let me play a little longer, round it up, and write again at 7:30.'

'Okay, that's settled.'

Time was slipping away, but Luo Zhen had absolutely no intention of doing his homework.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that Luo Zhen suddenly realized, as if waking from a dream:

"How did time go by so quickly?"
