Chapter 64: I Just Want to Be With You

“Huh?” Liang Zhirou didn’t react for a moment. Wasn’t she talking about starting a business with Lin Miaomiao? Why was the focus suddenly on me?

“What huh? Can you be any more clueless?” Chen Lu said with a smile.

This clueless girl sometimes makes a soft and gentle “huh” sound, which is actually quite cute.

Lin Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly hugged Liang Zhirou and shouted, “What have you done to her while I was gone?!”

Chen Lu didn’t care about her look of disgust, “I didn’t do anything like that while you were gone, I was just showing you.”

“I’m letting you get used to it in advance, so you won’t be surprised later. It’s all for your own good.”

Lin Miaomiao makes a fuss even when feeding Liang Zhirou a piece of candy, wouldn’t she be constantly nagging if she was a third wheel later?

That wouldn’t be good, it’s important to let her adapt in advance.

Actually, Chen Lu didn’t want to provoke her like this, but who told her to be a huge anime fan?

“Chen Lu! What do you mean?!” Lin Miaomiao was so angry that her canines were biting her lips.

Liang Zhirou couldn’t understand what Chen Lu meant, even after studying English for an afternoon.

What does he mean “so you won’t be surprised later”, what is he going to do?

Chen Lu continued to look at the computer screen, “I’m about to be the boss of a game studio, pay attention to your attitude.”

He said expressionlessly, “You might not be able to make ends meet later, and you’ll have to come to me for help.”

“I spit on you.” Lin Miaomiao spat at him, and squeezed Liang Zhirou’s shoulder, “Don’t suffer here with him, go to my dorm and see my drawings, I’m almost done with my Saber, it’s super cool.”

Chen Lu, who had been drooping his eyelids, suddenly perked up at these words. He stood up, leaning on the stone table, and asked, “You can draw?”

Lin Miaomiao cleared her throat, “How did you know I’ve been learning to draw since I was little?”

Chen Lu had never seen such a boastful girl.

He sat down slowly, speechless, “Because I know my daughter better than anyone.”

After being tricked by Lin Miaomiao last time, he had specifically studied how to respond to her.

“You! If it wasn’t for my Zhirou’s sake, I would drown you in West Lake!”

Chen Lu saw a slight smile on Liang Zhirou’s lips, and he smiled back, then said seriously, “To be honest, I just found out you can draw.”

Lin Miaomiao felt strange, “There wasn’t an opportunity before to let me say this, I can’t just specifically mention it like a self-introduction, can I?”

But when you were on the school website, no one gave you the opportunity to say this either, and you still said it, didn’t you?

Chen Lu was too lazy to complain, because Lin Miaomiao was now a fresh leek in his eyes.

“Miaomiao draws very beautifully.” Liang Zhirou praised softly.

Chen Lu nodded, “Show me?”

Hearing this, Lin Miaomiao opened her phone’s photo album and pushed the phone in front of Chen Lu.

“Not bad, right?” Lin Miaomiao just put on her sunglasses and pushed them up slightly.

Chen Lu looked at the few illustrations Lin Miaomiao drew, they were the kind that could get tens of thousands of fans if she posted the drawing process on video websites.

It’s just that the anime concentration is a bit high, they are all anime illustrations.

I don’t know why she didn’t choose a major in fine arts.

“Good!” Chen Lu praised without hesitation.

“How did you know I…”

“I don’t want to know, thank you.” Chen Lu quickly interrupted her pretentious opening phrase, “You draw so well, why didn’t you choose a major in fine arts?”

“No way, who told me my academic scores were so good.”

Lin Miaomiao saw Chen Lu looking at her coldly, smiled, and continued, “I wanted to choose it, but it’s not easy to develop this field in my hometown. I’m not very healthy, and I’m most likely going to work back in my hometown after graduation.

So, I chose a major that’s easy to find a job anywhere. My parents don’t care about how much money I make, as long as I’m by their side.”

“Do you have dreams?” Chen Lu asked seriously.

Lin Miaomiao tilted her head, “Dreams?”

“Come and draw some artwork for me for the game, I’ll pay you one thousand a month. The workload is very small, you can rest assured.”

Lin Miaomiao tried hard to resist licking her lips, she was a little tempted, because she had always treated it as a hobby, and never thought of making money from it.

Let alone earning Chen Lu’s money, thinking about it was quite enjoyable.

She herself really likes playing anime mobile games, and the thought that she could also be an artist for the game made her a little tempted.

Chen Lu couldn’t tell what she was thinking, and continued to add, “Think it’s too little? One thousand five is good, it’s basically free money for your workload.”

Liang Zhirou knew that Chen Lu’s budget was about two thousand, but she really didn’t know who to help now, she could only look at Chen Lu and then at Lin Miaomiao, curiously watching their reactions.

She thought to herself that Chen Lu was really too bad, he was so good at deceiving people.

“One thousand five?” Lin Miaomiao was completely tempted, one thousand five is two 648s! How many characters can I draw!

Seeing Lin Miaomiao’s tempted look, Chen Lu finally felt relieved, “Forget it, it’s a fixed price, two thousand, but you have to be on call when I ask you to work overtime.”

“Deal!”

Lin Miaomiao didn’t hesitate at all, how could she have imagined that Chen Lu’s initial budget was two thousand.

She had unwittingly signed another indenture.

The two smiled and nodded at each other, but the reason for their smiles was different.

Chen Lu smiled, put his index finger to his lips, and made a “shh” gesture to Liang Zhirou.

“I’ll send you the names of these games, you go back and learn their art style.” After sending the message to Lin Miaomiao, Chen Lu showed a relieved smile again, “Cooperation is smooth.”

“Okay.” Lin Miaomiao got up and went back to the dorm without a word, her mind filled with the thought of getting three 648s for free every month, what’s a little hard work?

Chen Lu watched her bouncing back, couldn’t help but sigh.

Are contemporary college students so easy to fool? Have they regressed to the point where they only know how much they can eat in one meal?

He suddenly felt that his plan was very promising.

He turned his head and saw Liang Zhirou pouting and looking at him.

“No wonder I’m always tricked by you…” she muttered.

“Don’t worry, I won’t trick you like that. I tricked her for cheap labor, I wouldn’t dare to replace her with you.”

“I just want to take advantage of you when I trick you. Am I honest?”

??

Liang Zhirou stared at him blankly.

Why did he suddenly tell the truth?

……Forget it, studying English is still easier.

……

Both of them enjoyed this quiet time together, feeling the cool breeze, each busy with their own things.

Whenever they felt tired, they could look up and see the person they missed most right in front of them, and they were instantly filled with motivation again.

The girl lowered her head slightly, a few strands of hair escaped from behind her ears, hanging down beside her cheeks, she seemed so focused that she didn’t bother to take care of them.

She looked beautiful and gentle, making people feel very happy.

As Chen Lu looked up at Liang Zhirou for the umpteenth time, he found that the clueless girl had fallen asleep.

She was quietly lying on her arm, her sleeping posture was very well-behaved.

Chen Lu turned his head, and felt that the wind had become too cool, he didn’t know if it was going to rain later.

If he let this clueless girl sleep any longer, she would catch a cold.

He was too lazy to complain about this terrible weather.

He walked over to the girl, gently pushed her shoulder.

“I’ll take you home, you’ll catch a cold if you sleep here.”

Liang Zhirou rubbed her eyes sleepily, “I don’t want to go back.”

“Why?” Chen Lu was very curious.

Liang Zhirou squeezed her hand, her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn’t say it out loud.

“I want to be with you” was a bit too difficult for her at the moment.

Chen Lu didn’t ask any further, closed his laptop, put it in his bag, and said softly:

“Since you don’t want to go home, then come to my place.”
