Chapter 529: Foreshadowing the Onset of the Curse
Chapter 529: Foreshadowing the Onset of the Curse
Zuo Zuo was utterly speechless, her mind completely blank.
After a long while, she finally stammered out:
"R-really... really the meaning you just said?"
Lynn sighed. "Of course it's true!"
Zuo Zuo lowered her hand in a daze, thumb and pinky finger rubbing together uneasily.
Clearly, Lynn's highly philosophical and healing explanation just now had made Zuo Zuo begin to doubt whether it was truly because her own mind was too filthy, thus misunderstanding Brain's meaning.
After all, although Brain's moral bottom line was quite flexible.
That bowl of chicken soup he just served Miss Puppet was indeed very healing, obviously genuinely meant to help Miss Puppet. And if following this logic, then what Brain said afterward should also be above the high standard of morality.
Because.
If understanding it step-by-step.Brain's moral standard couldn't possibly plummet from the highest point to the absolute bottom in one go, right? That shouldn't be possible, right!
Hmm...
So was it really me who wronged Stupid Brain?
Lynn: (Sigh x2)
Zuo Zuo raised her head, staring blankly as Lynn pulled out a tissue, turned his head slightly, wiped the corner of his eye a bit, and sighed x3.
"Brain, (ó﹏ò。) you... are you angry with me?"
Lynn melancholically wiped his eyes with his sleeve, looked up at the ceiling, and said sorrowfully: "No, I just suddenly feel emotional. I've been with my left hand for so long, yet I still haven't gained that left hand's trust. I'm often called a person with no morals, so I just feel a bit sad suddenly..."
Sniff—
Lynn forcefully blew his nose.
He raised his head sadly and closed his eyes.
Zuo Zuo was stunned, then immediately reacted, quickly extending her hand to place it on Lynn's face, saying somewhat flustered:
"N-no way! Brain, your morals are just more flexible! When they're high, they're actually quite high! Zuo Zuo has never said Brain is a person with no morals! Brain, don't suddenly get sad like this!!"
Lynn wiped away the moisture at the corner of his eye, his tears turning to a smile:
"It's okay, whatever you say is okay. Because I didn't leave you with a steady and reliable impression before, that's why Zuo Zuo thinks I'm an unreliable pervert. I can only say, I brought this upon myself, I deserve it."
He took a deep breath, looking desolate and sorrowful.
"No way!!" Zuo Zuo waved her hand in panic. "Brain, don't say such things about yourself so casually! Actually, in Zuo Zuo's heart, you're a very good person too!!"
Lynn's hand wiping his eyes paused.
"Really?"
Zuo Zuo nodded her hand vigorously, Ծ‸Ծ saying: "Mhm mhm mhm! Yes! Although Brain has countless shortcomings, compared to those shortcomings, your good points are also very numerous! It's precisely because of these good points that Zuo Zuo feels Brain is a very good person!"
Lynn said doubtfully: "For example?"
Zuo Zuo opened her mouth, dumbfounded: "Uh..."
"......"
A brief silence.
The expression in Lynn's eyes began to look pained.
Zuo Zuo hurriedly said with a frantic expression: "You're handsome!! Isn't that the biggest good point?!"
The echo reverberated, lingering for a long time.
Lynn was also stunned in place for a moment.
After a long while.
Zuo Zuo Ծ‸Ծ said: "Mhm, not lying."
[Ding! Your Happiness +5]
[Ding! Your Happiness +6]
Lynn could be said to be instantly overjoyed. As expected of Zuo Zuo, who has been with him the longest. Heart connected to heart, flesh connected to flesh, she immediately pinpointed his greatest strength.
But Lynn still forcibly restrained his expression that was about to break, saying sorrowfully:
"Thank you, Zuo Zuo. You really are my heart-to-heart hand. So are we still the closest good partners? Zuo Zuo."
Zuo Zuo looked at Lynn's sorrowful expression, hurriedly nodding her hand vigorously, (ó﹏ò。) saying reservedly:
"Mhm mhm, good partners. Don't be sad, Brain. Zuo Zuo definitely won't speak carelessly anymore in the future. If Brain has any place needing help, Zuo Zuo will definitely work hard to assist."
[Ding! Zuo Zuo's trust level in you deepens.]
[Ding! Zuo Zuo's trust level in you +10]
Lynn wiped away the non-existent moisture, saying:
"Really?"
"Really!"
Lynn, moved, took out a promissory note from his chest, saying: "Can you press a handprint?"
"Sure... Huh?"
Zuo Zuo (O_O)?
Lynn paused, sighed and closed his eyes, stood with hands behind his back, desolate and sorrowful: "Forget it, no need to press. Just treat it as casual talk. After all, I can't gain the trust of those around me anyway. After all, I also..."
"Press! Press! I didn't say not to press! Don't be sad!"
Zuo Zuo, exasperated, slapped her hand onto that promissory note with a *smack*.
Lynn nodded, teary-eyed, wiping his eyes with his sleeve, moved as he put the promissory note into his pocket, saying:
"Thank you, Zuo Zuo. Then Master really can only accept it with tears in his eyes."
Indeed.
Zuo Zuo hurriedly said with a frantic expression: "You're handsome!! Isn't that the biggest good point?!"
This feeling of swiftly getting Zuo Zuo to help count the money, truly can only be experienced with Zuo Zuo.
...
Soon, after laying the groundwork for the potential curse outbreak that might occur later, Lynn immediately drove back to Miss Puppet's bedside.
His gaze fell once again upon the exposed gear structure from the back that Miss Puppet had disassembled.
The situation was indeed as serious as he had thought.
Under that violent explosion, many parts had suffered massive impact and damage. Fortunately, Miss Puppet had used Cursed Arts energy to protect several crucial areas, otherwise, the situation might have been even more troublesome than now.
"Miss Puppet, most of the parts needing replacement have been disassembled by me. Several important parts will probably still need you to continue maintaining with Cursed Arts. After I replicate the parts one-to-one, I'll slowly replace them for you."
Lynn solemnly removed his gloves, placing the wrench aside.
And after being irrigated with Lynn's chicken soup for a while, Hei Xianyue's attitude toward him performing surgery on her had basically become one of tacit consent, no longer showing the previous rejection.
She closed her eyes, letting Lynn operate behind her, saying:
"The repair fees, I'll have Mother give them to you. The manor has my share..."
Lynn was taken aback, then found it both funny and exasperating.
Clearly, despite all that was said before, this overly independent personality still made her habitually unwilling to rely on others.
And generally, girls with this kind of personality, even if not puppets, would seem difficult to approach. But if you truly gain genuine trust from the bottom of such a girl's heart, then even if you become enemies with the whole world, she would definitely stand by your side without hesitation.
"No need. Besides, this kind of material can't be bought with money."
