Chapter 70: Escape from Fifteen

Watching Liang Zhirou walk around the store with her head down, too shy to look up, Chen Mo wished he was a boy at this moment.

If he ever got reborn as a boy, he would definitely take down his best friend first, so that others wouldn’t get her.

She fantasized in her heart, silently following behind the two.

She knew she shouldn’t have come. This free meal was so uncomfortable, she’d had enough of eating lemons.

The three of them found an empty table and sat down. Chen Mo sat next to Liang Zhirou and gave her older brother a strange look.

Liang Zhirou, however, kept her head down, gently holding the spot where Chen Lu had just touched her, unconsciously recalling the feeling. It felt like her arm was burning up.

Every time Chen Lu touched her, the place where their skin met felt like it was about to bloom…

On this not-so-special day, which had somehow been given a special meaning, there were many couples in the restaurant. The air was filled with the sound of couples chatting and laughing, and the aroma of grilled meat.

There was also an unavoidable smell of hot oil.

After a few casual conversations, Chen Mo and Liang Zhirou discussed the menu together. Chen Lu rested his chin on his hand, looking at Liang Zhirou’s serious expression, feeling increasingly strange.

Back in the car, when he turned his head and saw this silly girl with tears in her eyes, he was really scared.

He had to admit that Liang Zhirou was quick at adjusting her mood. Now she was back to her usual self.

She must have been trained since she was young…

If it were Chen Mo, she would have to emo for a while longer.

“What do you want to eat?” Liang Zhirou looked up at him.

Chen Lu smiled slightly, “Liang Teacher is so considerate. I don’t mind, I’ll just eat what you guys have.”

“Brother, do you have some kind of special preference?” Chen Mo asked blankly.

“Why are you slandering me out of thin air?”

Liang Zhirou nodded in agreement with Chen Mo’s statement, “He even asked me to call him Teacher Chen before.”

“Ew!” Chen Mo looked at him with disgust.

Looking at the two girls with their faint smiles, Chen Lu didn’t seem to mind being teased.

This silly girl was a bit more lively than when they first met.

He never thought that this girl would walk into his life and make him change so much.

Chen Lu looked at Chen Mo and Liang Zhirou sitting next to each other, and sighed softly.

“Sigh, if only we could switch places. I’d like to experience having a tutor who’s so beautiful and gentle.”

Chen Mo glanced at him, speechless, “Brother, that kind of movie is just for watching, why are you taking it seriously?”

Chen Lu blinked at her, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Then he turned to Liang Zhirou, who was staring blankly, and asked seriously, “Do you understand?”

“Anyway, you weren’t thinking about anything good.”

Liang Zhirou replied seriously. Although she didn’t understand, after spending time with Chen Lu, she could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.

Especially when Chen Lu wasn’t trying to hide anything.

Chen Lu realized that his image in front of Liang Zhirou seemed to be getting a bit off track. He shrugged and didn’t bring up the topic anymore.

Besides, which guy hasn’t fantasized about having a beautiful tutor?

What’s wrong with that?

I’m just being honest, I’m truthful!

But, having a silly girl like Liang Zhirou as my tutor…

Chen Lu shook his head, not daring to continue fantasizing.

After all the messy stuff was served, Chen Lu became the grill master for the two girls. Although it was all just for fun, the taste of the grilled food still differed depending on who grilled it.

This was Liang Zhirou’s first time coming to a place like this. However, since she was with Chen Lu and Chen Mo, she knew that no one would laugh at her for not knowing this or that, so she naturally felt no pressure.

Chen Lu often wrapped the meat in lettuce and handed it to her specifically.

“It’s so much trouble to eat like that.” Chen Mo said sourly, stuffing a large piece of lettuce into her mouth after finishing her meat.

Chen Lu ignored her, even though Liang Zhirou was already too shy to speak, he continued to feed her. “This is called ritual, you wouldn’t understand.”

“Isn’t it just lettuce and meat in your mouth? What’s the difference between eating it together and separately?”

“There’s a difference.” Chen Lu’s eyes twinkled with a hint of amusement, “It makes it seem more thoughtful when you feed someone this way. But you wouldn’t understand, because no one feeds you.”

Chen Mo was furious. She shook Liang Zhirou’s arm and whined, “Sister Zhirou! You feed me!”

“Okay.”

Liang Zhirou learned from Chen Lu’s example, and after preparing it, she fed it to Chen Mo like she was feeding a child.

Chen Lu looked at his sister’s smug look and said angrily, “You fed her, you have to feed me too!”

Liang Zhirou was dizzy from all the commotion, but she immediately agreed, “……Okay.”

After a while.

Chen Mo looked at Liang Zhirou next to her and curiously leaned into her ear.

“How far have you and my brother gone?”

Liang Zhirou immediately became nervous, “Don’t talk nonsense…”

“We’re just good friends, clean and pure.” Chen Lu explained.

That almost fried Chen Mo’s CPU.

Good friends?

Can your good friend hold hands with you and enter the house?

She glared at her brother angrily.

As if to say, “How can you be so incompetent? I’ll do it if you can’t!”

Chen Lu couldn’t be bothered to deal with her, just giving her a helpless look.

After more than half an hour.

“Let’s go back, you have class, Chen Mo classmate.” Chen Lu checked the time and stood up.

Chen Mo still had no intention of getting up, she looked at Liang Zhirou pitifully, “Sister Zhirou, you’re the best. Can I take a day off today?”

Liang Zhirou was a little hesitant, “You seem to say that every time you have class…”

Chen Mo slumped on the table, her body limp. Future sister-in-law won’t let me take a day off today, deduct one point.

This is just the beginning, they’re already singing in harmony, are they giving single dogs a chance to live?

……

The few of them didn’t hang out outside for long, and soon they were home.

As soon as Chen Lu opened the door, he saw his father and mother sitting in the living room.

Wang Xiaoxia sat there with a serious expression, looking like she was about to hold a public trial.

But when she saw Liang Zhirou, a smile instantly appeared on Wang Xiaoxia’s face, her face changing faster than flipping a book.

“Zhirou is here?” She pulled Liang Zhirou to her side, “Are you thirsty? What kind of fruit do you want? Auntie will get it for you.”

“No, no need.”

Liang Zhirou thought about how she had slept in the other person’s son’s bedroom for so long in the afternoon, and her face instantly turned red. She quickly declined,

“I just ate…”

She felt that Auntie Wang was so nice to her, and she went to sleep in her son’s room… it felt strange.

It felt like she had done something wrong.

The few of them sat together and chatted casually for a while, then Chen Mo was urged to go back to her room for class.

“I’m going to sleep for a while, I’m so tired lately.”

Chen Lu whispered and then shuffled towards his bedroom. As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Wang Xiaoxia.

A gentle voice made him shiver, his goosebumps fell to the ground.

“Good son, don’t you have anything you want to say to your understanding mother?”
