I, enter the zero world, change the ending

"Of course, I'm going to college."

"I'd like to, but... you know my grades, even though they've improved a lot, I'm still a little far from being accepted... Oh, Sister Lian came to see me yesterday and said she needs an assistant for work and wanted me to help her out after I graduate."

Even if Manfuyu returns alive and well, Shenhong is still invited by Kurosawa Rei, which seems like fate to Zhiyao.

As for whether to go or not, he let Shenhong make the decision on her own.

Anyway, neither she nor Kurosawa Rei need to participate in the plot of Voice of Tattoo anymore.

The Sleeping House was broken into by himself, and his companions were Kirie, Shiragiku, Mizuyun, Hōhyōcho, Yaobahime, and Kyuubi.

Kuze Reika, waiting to be beaten.

Chapter 150: [Is it boring to be with me?]

It was ten past five when I got home with Crimson on my bike.

Because he was worried about Xili, Zhiyao declined Shenhong's dinner invitation and returned to Kurosawa Shrine as quickly as possible. When he returned to the shrine, he found that it was almost six o'clock. Thinking that it was almost time to eat, he came to the door of Xili's room.

“Bang, bang, bang—”

Ten seconds later, the door opened and Xili behind the door had an indifferent expression.

"What's the matter?"

"Of course I have something to say, hehe." Zhiyao smiled innocently and scratched his head. "Are you feeling better? Are you still angry?"

Xili slowly looked away without replying.

Zhiyao couldn't tell whether he was still angry or not, so she just got straight to the point: "I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you want to go out for dinner together? When I came back, I saw a new self-service barbecue restaurant nearby."

Faced with the invitation, Xili's expression did not fluctuate at all.

After a moment, he responded softly:

"I'm not hungry."

"It's already this late, how is it possible?!" Zhiyao pretended to be surprised, and then teased with a sly smile, "Could it be... that you are full of anger?"

Xili still had that masked face. After a while, Zhiyao suddenly felt that this was boring and lost all interest.

"Well... okay, let's go together another day."

As Xili gently closed the door, a strong sense of frustration suddenly arose in Zhiyao's heart. He sighed in defeat and returned to his room in disappointment.

I thought I would have the chance to see Xili again tomorrow, but less than two minutes after returning to the room, there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw Xili outside.

"Let's go and have some barbecue." Xili spoke softly and walked straight towards the courtyard.

Zhiyao quickly took her wallet and put on her shoes and hurried after him.

The night falls early in January. It is completely dark at six o'clock. In the busy street, two people are walking one in front and the other behind, Zhiyao is walking in front and Xili is following behind.

After walking for a while, Zhiyao suddenly stopped and turned half of his face to the side.

"Can't you just walk beside me?"

Turning away, Xili ignored him.

The two sides remained deadlocked for a moment, and then continued to move forward until they reached their destination.

Since the restaurant was newly opened and today was not a holiday, there were not many customers in the restaurant even during the peak meal time. Then, under the guidance of the waiter, the two of them went to the private room and took their seats.

It would take some time before the charcoal and the dishes were served. While waiting, Zhiyao picked up the teacup and took a sip.

He noticed that Xili was staring at the table in a daze, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Xili.

"Huh?" Xili looked at him in confusion.

"Nothing, hehe." Zhiyao smiled innocently and tried to find a topic, "Aren't you hungry?"

"I suddenly feel hungry."

"It seems that you are a person who follows your heart." After saying that, Zhiyao raised her teacup and invited, "Come, let's have a toast."

"It's just ordinary barley tea," Xili reminded him. "And if you want to drink, I'm sorry I can't accompany you because I'm not yet twenty."

"Uh, I'm not planning on drinking." Zhiyao was embarrassed, "I just wanted to clink glasses."

It was really baffling, Xili complained silently in her heart, but she couldn't resist the expectant gaze from the opposite side, so she finally picked up the cup and clinked it with hers.

After that, he just stared blankly at the remaining tea in the cup.

The box was completely silent, and the scene fell into silence again. Across the table, Zhiyao suddenly remembered something, took out her wallet, and pulled out a business card.

The person on the business card is Bu Lai Fang Risheng, and the person across the table is Bu Lai Fang Xili.

After his eyes jumped back and forth between the two parties several times, he suddenly wanted to know what the relationship between the two was.

However, Xili looked not in good spirits, and he was worried that it would bring back bad memories and make the situation worse, so he forcibly restrained his desire to explore.

Who would have thought…

"What did you get?"

Xili suddenly looked over, her eyes fixed on the business card.

Caught off guard, Zhiyao cried out inwardly and quickly hid her hands under the table.

"No, nothing, just a business card."

"Business card?" Xili blinked. "Did you get it this time?"

This girl's intuition was quite accurate. Zhiyao swallowed carefully and quickly made up an excuse, "It's... yes, haha, it's the business card of the owner of the hotel where I live. He said that next time I go there, I can make an appointment in advance and get a discount or something."

Unfortunately, Xili is not the careless type.

Although she didn't care much, she always felt that there was something wrong with Zhiyao's reaction just now.

To sum it up in one sentence: a guilty conscience.

then……

"Can you let me see it?"

In an instant, Zhiyao was stunned.

"Aha?"

"It's just a look, isn't it inconvenient?"

"Uh uh uh, not really. If you really want to see it..."

At the critical moment, a waiter came into the room with charcoal fire and saved Zhiyao at the right time. After that, the second and third waiters came in to serve the dishes, and the table was piled high.

"The food is here, let's eat." Zhiyao took the opportunity to change the subject by picking up the chopsticks first, without saying a word.

Xili: “Yeah.”

The meal lasted ninety minutes. Zhiyao put down her chopsticks only at the last minute, pressing her bloated stomach contentedly. Xili actually didn't eat much, just a little more than normal. Two-thirds of the empty plates on the table came from Zhiyao.

"I'll go pay the bill." Zhiyao prepared to get up.

Xili stood up first.

"Let me do it."

After saying that, Xili walked straight out of the box, not giving Zhiyao any chance to fight for it.

It was rare that she had this intention, so Zhiyao gave up the opportunity until she returned to the box with the invoice.

"Where did you get the money?" Zhiyao asked casually after taking the invoice and looking at the amount on it.

"This is the pocket money you gave me last time," Xili said. "I've been using your money since we met. It's my turn to treat you."

"No way, you're useless at all?"

"Of course, I usually eat at home, so I basically have no expenses."

"Wow, then you will definitely become a virtuous wife, hehe." Zhiyao took the opportunity to praise.

After looking at Zhiyao indifferently, Xili turned her back and left the box first.

Under the bright moon, the streets were still bustling with traffic. The two of them were still walking one in front and one behind among the crowd, but this time Xili was in front and Zhiyao followed behind.

When passing through a relatively secluded area, Xili suddenly stopped, turned half of her face to the side, and her eyes were intriguing.

Noticing this, Zhiyao smiled awkwardly and went forward to meet him.

Just as he was about to speak, Xili spoke first.

"Sikong."

"Hey."

"It's really boring to be out with someone like me."

When asked this suddenly, Zhiyao was stunned, and then heard the follow-up part.

"I have a mental illness. I can neither laugh nor cry, and I often have a masked face. Although you don't say it, I know I often spoil your fun."

"No, no, that's not the case at all." Zhiyao retorted nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal. It's not like I haven't gotten along with people of the same type as you before. We have no problem communicating with each other."

Xili was not only surprised but also curious that Zhiyao had met someone similar to herself.

"Who is it?"

"The Crow Priestess of Mount Higashin."

"Ah, they..." Xili suddenly realized.

"Didn't I go back to the past? I stayed in Yangyan Village for a few days, and then went to Rishang Mountain to find a way back. I met a shrine maiden named Shuiyun. She was as emotionless as you, and her face was like a mask."

"So..." Xili immediately dropped her eyes and fell into deep thought. After a few seconds, she looked at Zhiyao again, "Have you ever seen Fengshi alive?"

"I didn't see him in the past, but I did see him after returning to the present. He was in You Palace, where you rescued Hinasaki Fukaha."

"Where are you going and what are you doing?" Xili expressed her concern.

"Go and rescue Shuiyun. After rescuing her, you will meet Fengshi blocking the way. Besides her, there are also a large number of female advisers, almost forty or fifty of them. It's a grand scene that only happens once in a century." Zhiyao described it with interest.

"Come to think of it, Fukaha and I encountered her blocking our way twice. When we realized the camera wasn't working on her, we quickly ran away, fleeing down the mountain back to the cafe."

"I didn't run away." Zhiyao rubbed her nose contentedly. "I ordered her to move aside, and she did so obediently. Although I have fewer people on my side, none of them are inferior to her."

As Zhiyao finished speaking, evil spirits and guardian spirits appeared on both sides of the body. Xili took a quick look and found that there was an extra fox, a group of butterflies, and a little white-haired girl, and Hanako was gone.

"These are all things I'm proud of." Zhiyao announced proudly, raising his head slightly.

"Another way to put it is that without us you are nothing." Wuhui couldn't help laughing and deliberately tried to sabotage him.

"Get lost." Zhiyao rolled her eyes at her. "You feel uncomfortable if you don't tease me for a day, don't you?"

Wu Hui didn't take it seriously, and pouted her lips and retorted: "Don't you always team up with Bai Ju to bully me?"

Bai Ju: "I'm not, I don't."

"I dare say no, it's always you..." Before he could finish his words, Zhiyao suddenly realized something and lowered her voice with a panicked expression, "Hey, why are you all out here? We're on the street here!"

The spirits around him disappeared instantly.

After quickly glancing around and finding that there were only a few pedestrians around and no one was looking in this direction, Zhiyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

……

There was silence for a while, and before they knew it, they were back at the entrance below the shrine.

After climbing the stone stairs in front, they were about to reach home. At this time, Xili suddenly turned around and faced Zhiyao.

"What's wrong?" Zhiyao was puzzled.

"Hmm..." Xili put her hands behind her back, looking shy.

"You are just like that, always indecisive and always procrastinating." Zhiyao sighed helplessly.

Xili, feeling attacked, groaned in anger before finally recounting the story: "What happened at noon... well, I was a little excited at the time. I hope you don't take it to heart."

"That's it?" Zhiyao was speechless.
