Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words

"senior."

Inside the Civet Cat House, Xuan Li called out softly. The Qing Yi sitting on the sofa turned around and smiled slightly.

"You're back."

Apparently, it's been a while.

"Ah."

Xuan Li nodded helplessly. It was impossible for Qingyi not to know that he had come in, but she didn't even look at him. She had to wait until he called her before she was willing to take a look.

"Senior, when do we leave?"

Xuan Li didn't know what to say, so he just sat next to Qingyi and asked.

Hearing this, Qing Yi's expression remained unchanged and he said

"Now."

Short answer.

Xuanli nodded, Qingyi stood up and walked out of the raccoon cat's house, and Xuanli followed.

After getting into Qingyi's car, the two prepared to go to the appointment to celebrate Zhu Yuan's birthday.

The sky was dark and the car was driving on the street at a moderate speed, like a crawling beetle.

"senior……"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Xuan Li's words fell into his ears. Qingyi looked ahead intently and spoke softly.

"Um...nothing."

The car was driving steadily. Xuan Li swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and just said it softly.

Qingyi didn't say much, just nodded silently.

However, her eyes were slightly dimmed by the reflection of the sky. In the left rearview mirror, one could vaguely see one arm resting on the car window, looking at Xuan Li outside.

Qingyi withdrew her gaze, looked at the raindrops falling on the car window, blinked, and spoke softly, breaking the silence in the car.

"It's raining, Xuanli."

"Ah."

A touch of cold water dripped onto his hand. Xuan Li raised his eyes to look at the dark clouds in the sky. This kind of weather really made people feel bad.

In the driver's seat of the car, listening to Xuan Li's answer, Qingyi tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his face obscured by darkness.

The next second, the steering wheel turned sharply, Qingyi stepped on the pedal with one foot, and the car left a beautiful wake, and then stopped on the roadside behind the corner.

"Ok?"

The car suddenly stopped. Xuan Li raised his eyebrows in some confusion. With a click, Qingyi opened the front door and got out. With a bang, the door was closed again.

Then she took two steps, grabbed the door handle of the back door and pulled it open.

Under Xuan Li's gaze, Qingyi reached out and climbed up, pinching his ear.

"Hmm?"

Twist two fingers in a half circle.

"Yeah, yeah."

Lift with one hand.

"Ok?"

After a while...

"Um……"

Looking at Xuan Li who had become much more well-behaved, Qingyi's expression finally relaxed a lot. He smiled slightly and nodded.

Back in the car, Qingyi started it. For some reason, perhaps it was the sound of raindrops falling outside the car, or perhaps it was Xuanli lying down in the back seat, but the car was as quiet as before, but there was no slightly depressing atmosphere.

"Tell me, what's going on recently?"

"I heard Ling say it was the Defense Force, the Scepter Army, the Municipal Government, and Hollow Zero..."

"How come I don't know anything?"

Qingyi finished speaking, and this was the reason why she had such a subtle attitude in the Civet Cat House. As for waiting, waiting for Xuan Li was naturally no problem for her.

"Don't you know something about these masters..."

"Can you bark a little? It's just fur, okay?"

Qingyi interrupted Xuanli, with a barely perceptible coldness in her tone.

"Ever since the dead end incident, the Public Security Bureau hasn't come here much, and the Tanuki House can't find you often. You must be a big shot with a tight schedule..."

"Whatever you are doing, you should tell me, right? Otherwise, I won't know anything and will just worry about it in vain."

"I am your master."

Others are not worried about Xuan Li because of their strength and cognition, but Qingyi is different.

For Qingyi, no matter how strong Xuanli is, he is still a junior and a little disciple, and subconscious worry is inevitable.

A teacher is like a father or a mother, not to mention that there is a complex connection between Qing Yi and Xuan Li...

Qingyi didn't remember anything about the "dream" of the dead end, but even though the memory was gone, everything else was still there.

The impact of that inexplicable feeling and experience on Qingyi cannot be underestimated.

Qingyi had said so much, Xuanli didn't say anything else, he could only explain and make promises.

I originally thought it would be much easier if Qing Yi didn't participate, or even knew about it, but who knew it would have the exact opposite effect...

I guess today's attitude is not a sudden one, but something I have been struggling with for a long time before I decided to talk about it.

The little episode came and went quickly. After learning about what Xuan Li had been doing during this period, Qingyi couldn't help but frown.

"Yi Hai...it's so complicated. I didn't expect you to go to the core area of ​​Hollow Zero today. I don't have much information about that place."

"Don't worry, Master. Cricket Zero Hollow..."

Xuan Li waved his hand and spoke easily.

"Yeah, Cricket Zero Hollow... My apprentice is really amazing... I'll cricket you when you fail."

"Bring Zhu Yuan and others to tease you and make fun of you."

Xuan Li's confidence not only failed to reassure Qingyi, but instead made her start to feel sarcastic.

Xuan Li's face froze when he heard the words that sounded like coaxing a child but also had a sarcasm in them.

Ask the master how to comfort someone when he is angry?

He has no experience...

……

The rain was getting heavier. The accumulated snow melted into water and then condensed into ice. The roads were extremely slippery and some places were muddy.

The weather today is very bad in every way.

The car stopped and Qingyi got out with an umbrella. When Xuanli was about to get out, Qingyi handed him the umbrella.

"I can't hold you under my umbrella."

After he finished speaking, Xuan Li took the umbrella and the two of them went to Zhu Yuan's house together. After a while, they entered the building and knocked on the door.

The sound in the room rang out as there was a knock on the door, and Zhu Yuan, who was dressed in casual clothes, quickly came and opened the door.

The light in the room fell on the two of them, and warmth came over them, dispelling the coldness in their bodies.

Xuan Li looked up and saw that the room was very lively. Not only Zhu Yuan's parents and Seth were there, but also another acquaintance.

It was Jane with a “simple” look on her face.

The Shanshi Group had long since disappeared due to some aftermath, so this mission had long been unresolved, and just in these few days, Jian Yu made his full appearance in the Criminal Investigation Special Service Team.

This is what Qingyi said to Xuanli in the car.

After entering the room and changing his shoes, Xuan Li started chatting with Zhu Yuan's parents skillfully and they were very harmonious.

Seth also greeted Xuanli Qingyi, but when it was Jane's turn, some unexpected things happened.

She looked at Xuan Li steadily but did not speak.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time the two have met, but the last time Xuan Li was wearing a mask.
