Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

Nicole awaited Su Chen's response.

On that unforgettable night, Su Chen made a promise to her, vowing to be punished by heavenly fire and thunder, and that from then on he would only love her.

But how did he do it?

Despite knowing the serious consequences of breaking his vow, he still recklessly went and flirted with other girls.

Indeed, thunder and lightning strike, burning flesh and blood; how can such a solemn promise be easily broken?

Say it out loud, and show me your unwavering determination to love you.

Please don't say things you don't want to hear, I beg you.

Nicole looked at Su Chen, her gaze softening from sharp to almost pleading.

On the other side, Eileen crossed her arms, seemingly unconcerned about what Su Chen had said. But her ears were incredibly sharp, and her heart was pounding.

She somewhat regretted arguing with Nicole.

Her relationship with Su Chen wasn't close enough to lead to jealousy or rivalry; they were just good friends and had a simple employer-employee relationship.

In fact, this situation already represents a dereliction of duty for a maid.

His confrontation with Nicole stemmed from his indignation at her inexplicable swagger in front of him, flaunting her intimate relationship with a man who had just touched his tail.

She doesn't deny that Su Chen is outstanding, nor does she deny the possibility that she might fall in love with him.

But it's too early now, and given the current situation, no matter what Su Chen says, that possibility is gone forever.

They will be friends, not lovers.

She wouldn't like a man who has someone else in his heart, nor would she like a man who is fickle and easily bored.

Even though she had never experienced love, she was so certain of it.

However, she longed to hear a perfect answer from Su Chen regarding how he would respond.

Therefore, Su Chen's choice is—

"Nicole, you're overthinking it." Su Chen looked at Nicole and said seriously, "I like you, and I will always like you."

This is the right choice, and the only choice.

Nicole is the woman he has already won over; she can be considered his legal wife.

His relationship with Ellen was really just that of good friends; he couldn't make her a woman on the same level as his wife.

If you say you want it all at this point, you'll end up with nothing. And if you ignore Nicole and confess your feelings to Ellen, you won't even be able to remain friends with her, which will also hurt Nicole.

The so-called "battlefield" is actually a false proposition.

If you think that Nicole has already eaten it, and instead think about immediately licking Eileen, you're just being scum and stupid.

He established Nicole's identity in front of Ellen, but this only increased the difficulty of winning her over, rather than blocking her path.

He knew that the key to love was mutual subjugation, and the secret to building multiple stable relationships was dependence, making the other person have reasons to stay, both emotionally and practically.

To achieve this, both long-term companionship and profound stimulation are methods.

Now is not the time.

"Really?"

Nicole's smile brightened, like a child who had received a piece of candy.

“Of course.” Su Chen hugged Nicole and said gently, “Eileen and I are friends, just like Rin, Ambi, Nekomata, Hoshimi Miyabi, Aokaku, Tsukishiro Ryu, and Koleda. We will be trustworthy friends, and they will become your friends too.”

"But you are different; you are the special one."

At least, for now.

"Hehe, I know, I'm the special one!"

Nicole laughed happily, like a victorious general.

“I’ve said it before, he and I are friends, and I haven’t even graduated from high school yet.”

Ellen crossed her arms and spoke calmly.

She breathed a sigh of relief; Su Chen hadn't made the worst choice, and they were still friends.

She felt a strange sense of loss, as if she had lost something.

"Okay, I understand. His friend is my friend." Nicole nodded and smiled a little embarrassedly. "I was impulsive just now. I misunderstood you when you were just here to help clean the room. I'm sorry."

At this moment, Nicole, who was in a good mood, had already remembered Ellen's other identity besides being a high school student: Victoria Housekeeping!

This is a free housekeeping service that Su Chen received for completing the commission, so he can't let her kick him out.

You'd be missing out if you didn't take something like this!

"It's alright, it's not your fault, and I didn't lose anything." Eileen glanced at Su Chen and said with a half-smile, "This is quite an interesting story."

In this way, she learned that Su Chen had a real girlfriend.

This will also prevent you from being scammed in some situations.

"Then you guys have fun, the cat and I won't bother you."

"You can hang out with Su Chen more often in the future, and keep an eye on him for me."

Nicole smiled sheepishly, then pulled the bewildered cat away from Su Chen's house.

Outside the room, the cat looked at Nicole with a bewildered expression, not knowing what was going on.

"Chief Nicole, you're just going to leave them alone?"

The cat asked again, still somewhat uneasy.

The two of them just touched the tail, what will they do if they touch it again?

“What’s so special about it? Isn’t there Baal?” Nicole said casually. “Besides, that Ellen is still a high school student, and she seems pretty proper.”

Perhaps it was a good opportunity for her to press her advantage, but she felt she shouldn't do it.

Su Chen has already made his stance clear in front of Ai Lian and demonstrated her status in front of everyone.

Being too aggressive will make you disliked.

Besides, Ellen is still a high school student, so she must have misunderstood.

Just like Cangjiao, Su Chen definitely treats Ailian as a younger sister.

"But you still told her to spend more time with Su Chen?"

The cat was still puzzled.

Isn't this like handing over your green yarn to someone else, having them knit it up, and then putting it on your head?

"What do you know?" Nicole looked down at the cat with a wise look in her eyes: "Since Ellen and Su Chen are impossible, then let's put her next to Su Chen to keep other girls away."

That's right, that's it, plan in action!

With Su Chen's declaration today, she believed that there was no possibility between Ellen and Su Chen.

As she spoke, Nicole laughed triumphantly: "Hehe, everyone says that girls in love have lower IQs, but mine have actually gone up!"

"..."

The cat looked at Nicole's smug expression, then hesitated to speak.

IQ has increased, but not by much.

It's possible that Eileen didn't have any deep feelings for Su Chen, but Su Chen did have those feelings for Eileen.

The sheep doesn't want to be eaten by the wolf, but the wolf wants to eat the sheep!

Nicole's actions were so egregious that even if she delivered the locked-up Pleasant Goat to Big Big Wolf's mouth, unlocking it would be a piece of cake.

The cat didn't remind Nicole, because she knew that Nicole was beyond reasoning with at this point.

She's more concerned about herself now; does she need to sleep with her eyes open at night?

She had a feeling that since Nicole had caught her cheating, Su Chen wouldn't let her off easily.

How scary, meow!

Meanwhile, inside the room...

Su Chen didn't bother thinking about punishing the kitten, but instead considered how to repair his relationship with Ellen.
