Zenless Zone Zero The Random Kamen Rider

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: The Assist is Key



"Mo Xuan, let me take you home. It's getting late."

Zhu Yuan also felt that her parents were acting strangely. Why did they look at Mo Xuan as if he were a wanted criminal? She was quite sensitive to this kind of gaze, so she also took the initiative to help Mo Xuan leave this place of trouble.

"Okay."

Mo Xuan immediately stood up and replied. Then he felt it wasn't right. He couldn't just leave like this. So he faced the place where Auntie Zhu and Uncle Zhu were, bowed, and said, "Thank you, elders, for your hospitality. I will repay you."

Mo Xuan didn't know if he was doing this right. Anyway, he had no experience in dealing with elders. For now, he would just do this. But for the two elders, it was as if a ceremony had been completed in advance. They looked at him with even more appreciation.

"Wait a minute, I have a gift for you."

Uncle Zhu said, then stood up with Auntie Zhu's help and went into the room. When he came out, he had a book in his hand. Mo Xuan didn't know why he was giving him a book, but he still took it.

"Identification and Basic Cultivation of Plants. Thank you, uncle."

Mo Xuan looked at the book in his hand with some confusion. It wasn't a valuable gift. It was just a very basic book. He didn't know its use for the time being.

After receiving the gift, Mo Xuan followed Zhu Yuan out of the house and downstairs. After getting back into the private car downstairs, the two of them let out a sigh of relief at the same time, then looked at each other.

"Um, are your parents always this enthusiastic with other people?"

Mo Xuan couldn't help but ask. His expression was still normal, without much unnaturalness.

"I don't know. I rarely bring friends home. I brought female friends over when I was still in school. They weren't like this."

Zhu Yuan also said with some confusion. The parents in her memory were not this enthusiastic. There were normal greetings, yes, but they were never as proactive as today.

"Maybe they like a lively atmosphere. It's a good thing," Mo Xuan comforted.

"Did I cause you trouble? I know it can be unsettling to be treated so enthusiastically all of a sudden."

Zhu Yuan said with a hint of apology. Her original idea was that Mo Xuan would help move things, and she would treat him to dinner as a reward. Who knew the two elders would suddenly become so enthusiastic, especially her mother.

"Not at all, not at all. The elders are very nice. Once I get used to it, it won't be unsettling next time."

Mo Xuan repeatedly shook his head and said. He didn't want Zhu Yuan to go and say anything to the two elders because of his matter. Because he had a feeling that they seemed to be on his side, although it was strange and he didn't know the reason.

"There's a next time?"

Zhu Yuan gave Mo Xuan a strange look and asked. This seemed to be a life-or-death question. Because it was unclear what she was thinking, to say he wanted to come again would be a bit thick-skinned. To say he didn't want to would be like disliking this family.

"Is... is there?"

Mo Xuan very cleverly kicked the question back to Zhu Yuan, expressing that he wanted to go but had to ask for her opinion first. This move should get a passing grade from Daddy 02, right?

"I don't know. We can't expect my dad to always sprain his ankle, can we?"

Zhu Yuan looked away and started the car, saying. You could see the corner of her mouth slightly raised. She had made a joke about her old dad.

"Ahaha, that's true."

Mo Xuan then remembered that he had this treatment all because of that manhole cover, because of his Daddy 02. But even if there was a next time, he didn't want Uncle Zhu to suffer again. It was better to get an invitation on his own, without any psychological burden.

Zhu Yuan kept to the city speed limit and drove the car to Sixth Street. Under Mo Xuan's guidance, she came to the Tinman Cafe. She knew where Mo Xuan lived, but this was her first time here. Seeing the decent-sized coffee shop, and then looking at the second floor, she felt that this residence was also quite nice. People who like coffee can often sleep with the aroma of coffee.

"Zhu Yuan, want a cup of coffee?"

Mo Xuan made the first invitation in his life. The invitee was a girl, a female supervisor. He couldn't help but feel his heart beat like a drum. If he were rejected, not to say he would be heartbroken, but he would definitely be disappointed. But a hero can't flee before a battle. It was always worth a try.

"Sure. This coffee smells good."

Zhu Yuan casually agreed. Mo Xuan's invitation was only one factor. The other was that she was attracted by the aroma. Mo Xuan's mood immediately became joyous. Master Tinman was indeed the champion of the XXth New Eridu Coffee Competition. The title of "Master" was well-deserved.

Zhu Yuan parked the car in the parking lot downstairs from Mo Xuan's house. After the two got out of the car, they walked into the coffee shop. Because the craftsmanship was good, Master Tinman's coffee never lacked customers. Although there weren't many people drinking coffee at this hour, the tables inside and outside the shop were almost full, with only a few empty seats.

"Eh, what a coincidence. You're here for coffee too?"

A blue-haired girl suddenly appeared in Mo Xuan's line of sight. He looked closely and found that it was sister Belle, who was carrying a take-out coffee bag and was on her way out. They just happened to run into each other.

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

Mo Xuan suddenly felt it wasn't a coincidence. With Belle's personality, he didn't know what kind of trouble she would cause. He had finally asked Zhu Yuan out for coffee. He couldn't let her interfere.

"Did you get a girlfriend?"

Belle asked very casually. Mo Xuan almost jumped on the spot. Zhu Yuan, on the other hand, shook her head a little embarrassedly, but she didn't make a strong objection, such as refuting it seriously. She was still very gentle.

"No, this is my supervisor, Zhu Yuan," Mo Xuan explained.

"Oh, so it's that female supervisor you often mention. I'll be going now."

Belle sized Zhu Yuan up with a meaningful gaze, then left with the bag. Mo Xuan was surprised that she left so decisively.

"Who was that young lady just now?"

Zhu Yuan stood next to Mo Xuan and asked while they were waiting in line for coffee. Her voice was as gentle as usual, without any different emotions.

"The owner of the video store over there. I got to know her because I often rent videotapes."

Mo Xuan also replied very naturally. Other than holding a handle on each other, he and Belle had no interaction. Of course, he wasn't afraid of Zhu Yuan misunderstanding. But was there a need for her to misunderstand? No, right?

"Oh, so you often mention me to people."

Zhu Yuan nodded, then changed the question and said. She had taken Belle's words to heart before and wanted to know why Mo Xuan mentioned her.

"Ahem, not that many times. She said I had no luck with women, so I said I had a female supervisor. My circle of friends does have girls in it, right?"

Mo Xuan's expression was a little embarrassed. It was a bit shameful to be found out by Zhu Yuan herself that he was using her to show off. But it wasn't to the point where he needed to hide it. He even actively sought her opinion.

"Right."

Zhu Yuan replied with a smile. Mo Xuan didn't think much of it and continued to wait in line. But as he waited, he suddenly felt that he had missed something. He had said Zhu Yuan was a girl in his circle of friends, and she hadn't objected. She had even actively agreed.
