Zenless Zone Zero The Random Kamen Rider

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Happy to Do It for a Lifetime



"Yuan-yuan, what do you think of this Mo Xuan?"

Auntie Zhu quietly left the living room and came to the kitchen, whispering to Zhu Yuan.

"What do I think? He's a pretty good person. The moment I said I needed help, he came right away. Not just helping, he also gave me a lot of help during missions. And he's quite interesting to talk to."

Zhu Yuan looked at her mother with some confusion, not understanding why she had suddenly asked about this. But she still answered according to her impression.

"Tell me the details, Mom. How did you two meet?"

Auntie Zhu felt that this seemed to have a chance. Her daughter didn't show any coldness or rejection when she spoke, and even had a slight inclination towards Mo Xuan. This was very obvious.

"We met at the interview."

Zhu Yuan had a deep affection for her family. Even if she didn't know what her mother wanted to do, she still told her the whole story of how she met Mo Xuan. And she was very honest and even told her about how she had hurt him, but she used the reason of a misunderstanding. She also told her about the experience of fighting alongside Mo Xuan in the Hollow.

Auntie Zhu listened and nodded repeatedly. To protect her daughter, he had fought against a monster without regard for danger. This required great courage and affection. Although Zhu Yuan said it was the responsibility of a heavy combatant, Auntie Zhu didn't think so.

No matter how many sincere words and beautiful sweet nothings were said, they couldn't compare to one instance of cover in action. This was a decision that could only be made by risking one's life. Even though her impression of Mo Xuan was already very good before, it was only at this moment that Auntie Zhu was sure that he genuinely liked her daughter.

"It's a pity. The only drawback is that he's a colleague."

Auntie Zhu sighed and said. In her eyes, Mo Xuan was good in every way, but the fact that he was a colleague was worrying. This had its pros and cons. The pro was that their cooperative relationship in battle would progress quickly. The con was that it was too dangerous. To put it bluntly, if something happened to one of them, the other would cry their eyes out. As an experienced person, Auntie Zhu understood all this.

"What's wrong with being a colleague? Isn't that good?"

Zhu Yuan asked with confusion. She thought it was very good for Mo Xuan to be her colleague. It had been a long time since she had met such a qualified colleague. But her temperature was met with a white eye from her mother.

"Bring out the food. Give him a larger portion."

Auntie Zhu said and left. Zhu Yuan looked around with a blank expression. She hadn't caused any trouble, so why was she being disliked? But she still obediently did as she was told.

The dining table in the Zhu family's house was a square wooden table. The table was not large, just enough for one person to sit on each side. Mo Xuan was like the perfect fourth person, perfectly blending into this ordinary dinner.

"You've worked hard, Mo Xuan. Today's dishes were all made by Yuan-yuan. Try them. If you like them, remember them, and have her make them again next time."

Auntie Zhu said to Mo Xuan very casually. Mo Xuan's hand holding the rice bowl almost shook off. He looked at Auntie Zhu with a very surprised and uncomprehending gaze. Could there be a next time for such a good thing?

"Mom, what does that mean?"

Zhu Yuan's expression also looked a little surprised. She looked at her mother and asked with confusion. Cooking was a small matter, but cooking for Mo Xuan was a bit strange, because Zhu Yuan also felt in her heart that something like today would not happen a second time.

"We just learned that Mo Xuan has no other family and eats instant noodles every day. That stuff is not nutritious. You can come and be our guest often when you have the chance. One more mouth won't eat much."

Auntie Zhu said with a serious expression, representing that she was not joking. Now that they had discovered it in advance when both children were interested, if they didn't play matchmaker, were they going to wait for them to slowly get to know each other? That would be too slow. They couldn't wait.

"Our house and Sixth Street are not close together. Besides, I don't come back often."

Zhu Yuan explained helplessly. She usually didn't come back to this house and lived in her own place. How could she bring Mo Xuan over for dinner?

"Can't you invite him to your place to eat? And you're still a captain. Your head is not flexible at all."

Auntie Zhu was about to be angered by her daughter's low EQ. Was that what she meant? She meant for them to have more contact, for her daughter to be more proactive. Mo Xuan had never been in a relationship before. How could he pursue a block of wood like her daughter?

"That would trouble Mo Xuan, wouldn't it?" Zhu Yuan said.

"No, it wouldn't. If I could, I would of course be happy to. I've never had such a warm meal in my life."

Mo Xuan had to express his opinion at this time. In fact, he was very happy to express his opinion. He really wanted to tell Zhu Yuan that he was willing to eat such a meal for a lifetime. But to say it too bluntly would be awkward. He could only take the two words "lifetime" and "happy" out of context.

"Ah, um. Then if there's a chance next time, I'll take you to my place. Whether it's during a battle or during training, you consume a lot of energy. You should eat something good."

Zhu Yuan replied. She thought that Mo Xuan had to train with her during the day, and in a combat situation, he had to be the first to charge. He was indeed facing malnutrition. He couldn't cook himself, so of course he had to find a capable helper. It just so happened that she was one.

"Thank you. You're the first girl to be so good to me."

Mo Xuan was so moved by Zhu Yuan's concern that he was about to cry. He subconsciously said what was in his heart. But to say these things at this time, the atmosphere had already become ambiguous.

Zhu Yuan didn't know what she was thinking. She lowered her head and fixed her gaze on the plate on the table, not looking at anything else. Mo Xuan was about the same, both of them lowering their heads to eat without a sound.

Auntie Zhu nudged her husband with her elbow. Uncle Zhu and she exchanged a look. They both saw what they were like when they were young. To see their daughter also have this day, they were truly relieved. Fortunately, their daughter was not 100% pure wood. She still knew how to be shy.

"Mo Xuan, have an apple. Do you want an orange?"

After dinner, Auntie Zhu was as enthusiastic as ever. She even peeled an apple for Mo Xuan herself, as if she had suddenly gained a big son. Mo Xuan even suspected if 02 had come over to brush up the two elders' affection for him. Otherwise, this enthusiasm couldn't be explained.

"I'm full, I really can't eat anymore. Please let me take it back."

Mo Xuan said, holding the apple and pleading. To express how much he liked Zhu Yuan's cooking, he had eaten all the dishes on the table. This had stunned the two elders. Because they only had one daughter, they had never thought that a strong young man could eat so much.

"Alright, alright. Auntie will get you a bag."

Auntie Zhu said with a smile, then went to get a plastic bag for Mo Xuan. She put half of the fruit at home into it, which showed her level of enthusiasm.
