Chapter 856: I’m Going to Find My Own Brain!

“Alright, Zuo Zuo, now…”

But Lynn hadn’t finished speaking when Zuo Zuo suddenly lunged at him like a ferocious little demon pouncing on its prey. With a squeal, she bared her sharp canine teeth and sprang forward, sinking them straight into Lynn’s shoulder. The pain made him reach out to grab her, but Zuo Zuo was ready for that. She drove a knee into his groin.

Pfft—

(ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)—

That single blow was enough for Zuo Zuo to topple Lynn to the floor with her fierce counterattack. Her slender legs locked around his neck and his only right arm from behind, while her arms grabbed both of his legs and wrenched them forward. She had him locked up tight (〃＞皿＜).

“You rotten brain! I thought we were really good friends, but I never imagined you’d been hiding pesticide to use against me! And you even tied me up! I really was wrong about you!”

Struggling to crawl forward, Lynn said, “You’re one to talk! You hid a huge kitchen knife under my pillow! It was obvious you were up to no good!”

Zuo Zuo (*｀皿´*)ﾉ said, “So what?! Every time you come back, you try to bully me. Wasn’t I supposed to protect myself?!”

Was he supposed to put up with this?!

Without a moment’s hesitation.

【Ding! Would you like to immediately end the Mimicry state of Left Hand?】

“Yes!”

A flash of silver light flickered. Zuo Zuo, who had Lynn locked in a tight hold, froze in confusion and let out an “Huh?” Her body immediately turned into a streak of silver light, shrinking back into Lynn’s normal left hand.

But less than half a second after she had turned back into a hand—

【Ding! Would you like to immediately apply Mimicry to Left Hand?】

“Yes!”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The same white light flashed again.

Zuo Zuo had only just changed back into a left hand, but in an instant she transformed once more with a smack into the form of a black-haired little girl, pinned beneath Lynn on the floor.

Zuo Zuo’s chest heaved up and down. Gritting her teeth, she said:

“Answer me.”

【Ding! Would you like to immediately end the Mimicry state of Left Hand?】

This was the answer she had wanted from him for a long time.

She hoped she could hear it from his own lips.

A sincere reply.

Lynn looked into her eyes, then nodded firmly and blinked. “Of course.”

Seeing that Lynn was about to start his aggressive antics again, Zuo Zuo held him back with all her strength and stared urgently into his eyes.

“I want to hear what you really think. If that’s truly your answer, then I… I won’t be unreasonable about it. Even if you really wanted to have me, I’d agree. I mean it. Do you mean what you said, too?”

She had to ask him like this.

He rarely let what he was really thinking show on his face. All his indecency was an act. What she wanted to see was the true heart he kept hidden beneath all that laughter!

Her eyes trembled slightly. They held her worry for him, as well as the feelings and bond they had built over all this time.

And it was because of that bond

that every time she rescued him from danger, her heart ached and she wept inside.

Time passed slowly.

The frivolous expression on Lynn’s face gradually faded. He gazed into her eyes for a long time, but said nothing.

Silence slowly settled around them.

After a long while,

a gentle smile suddenly appeared on Lynn’s face, bright as sunshine.

“I can try not to risk my life so much.”

But Zuo Zuo still said nothing. She continued staring straight into his eyes, as if trying to see into his soul.

Lynn met her gaze with the same smile, as if every word he’d said were the truth.

And yet—

for just the briefest moment,

his eyes flickered away.

No one had ever been able to see through his heart. But after spending every day together, who could truly keep their heart sealed off from everyone?

Zuo Zuo’s gaze quivered for an instant, then slowly dimmed. It quickly turned to anger and sorrow, and finally her eyes grew wet.

“You’re lying!”

“That’s not what you really think.”

The heartbroken, aggrieved voice made Lynn freeze.

Perhaps because being seen through had unsettled him for a moment, the little girl Zuo Zuo before him gave him one last furious, sorrowful look. Then she instantly turned into a streak of silver light and forcibly canceled the Mimicry state he had imposed on her.

But before he could explain—

“I’m not sleeping with you anymore! I’m going to find my real brain! Don’t follow me! We’re through!”

Zuo Zuo’s furious scream rang out.

Like a little girl who’d had a falling-out with her useless boyfriend, she wiped away her tears, still seething with anger. Before Lynn could even react, she punched the window open and leaped outside (▼ヘ▼#).

Lynn was horrified.

“Wait! Zuo Zuo! Wait!”

But it was obviously no use at all.

A tremendous force hit him at once.

He was dragged toward the window too, his whole body tipping backward and tumbling out headfirst.

Lynn went straight to (ΩДΩ) and hurriedly hooked his foot around the nearby table.

“Zuo Zuo! Listen to me. I know you’re angry, but don’t think of yourself as an independent little girl! We’re one and the same. You can’t exactly run away from home! Zuo Zuo! Zuo Zuo! Please think this through!”

But it was no use at all.

As Yin Yi stared on in a daze, Lynn’s foot slipped off the table.

The force coming from his left arm instantly dragged his whole body backward out the window (ΩДΩ). Zuo Zuo hauled him along as she sped toward the residence of the Colossus’s Brain, and she couldn’t be stopped.

It was definitely awful when a little girl had a falling-out and went to find her ex-boyfriend, or ex-girlfriend, but there was something seriously off about this situation!

“Zuo Zuo! We’re attached! We’re attached, you know!!”
