Chapter 74: A True Gentleman

The car was quiet for a while.

“It’s 520 today, let’s go watch a late-night movie,” Chen Lu suddenly said, pulling the silly girl’s thoughts back from her self-reproach.

“It’s too late…”

Liang Zhirou mumbled softly. Although she had always wanted to watch a movie with Chen Lu, it was almost ten o’clock at night.

It would be too late to go back, and her mom would be worried.

Chen Lu didn’t care, “Your mom agreed, what are you worried about?”

The girl froze, slightly opening her mouth, blinking at him, revealing a silly and cute expression.

“When did my mom agree?”

How come I don’t know?

Chen Lu smiled triumphantly, took out his phone to show Liang Zhirou the chat history, “She agreed right after we left my place.”

Liang Zhirou leaned in to check the time. It was even while she was teaching Chen Mo that she had been arranged by Chen Lu…

She had been clearly sold by her own mother.

??

So he had already asked, and he’s only telling me now?

Just to wait for me to say “it’s too late”?

He even planned this?

After the girl realized this, she wanted to glare at Chen Lu fiercely, but as soon as she saw his eyes, her act collapsed. She became a timid little white rabbit again, only daring to look at his collar.

Since this insidious Chen Lu has gone this far, what else can I do?

I can only go with him.

After all, I don’t know anything.

Liang Zhirou thought to herself, but seeing Chen Lu’s smug expression, she felt a little uneasy.

“It’s 520 today…” the girl was a little nervous, “People will misunderstand.”

“It’s fine, we’re just good friends, let them misunderstand.”

Chen Lu didn’t care at all, saying righteously, “As long as we have a clear conscience!”

Liang Zhirou didn’t say anything. She loved the phrase “clear conscience” because…

Because she has a guilty conscience now…

“Then you have to promise me one thing.” She said after thinking for a while.

“What?” Chen Lu found it amusing. This silly girl was actually making demands.

He was very curious about what Liang Zhirou was going to say.

The girl lowered her head, her hands intertwined, as if afraid that Chen Lu wouldn’t agree, “Can I buy you some clothes? You promised me when you bought me a skirt…”

All the scenarios Chen Lu had imagined in his mind were shattered. He hadn’t expected that this silly girl’s demands, after all, were for his own good.

“Sure, I promised you, so I’ll listen to you.” Chen Lu said nonchalantly. He couldn’t be unreasonable in this kind of matter, otherwise, it would be harder to trick this silly girl next time.

Sustainable development.

Just as Liang Zhirou was secretly happy, Chen Lu handed over his phone.

“See if there’s anything you want to watch.” He said, looking straight ahead, not realizing that the girl’s attention was entirely on his profile, not even looking at the phone.

Liang Zhirou shook her head, “I can watch anything.”

As long as I’m with you.

Chen Lu didn’t insist, casually placing the phone between them. Since he was able to get the “ironclad guarantee” from Liang Zhirou’s mother early on, he had naturally already researched the schedules and times of the nearby cinemas.

“Are we going to the same mall as last time?” Liang Zhirou felt a little excited.

More than it being her first time watching a movie, she cared more that it was her first time with Chen Lu.

Chen Lu said expressionlessly, “Let’s go to your place first.”

“Why go to my place?”

Liang Zhirou realized that she seemed to be led by Chen Lu’s nose all day, and her brain couldn’t keep up.

But she could be sure that she had definitely stepped into another pit dug by Chen Lu.

She had thought that Chen Lu was a very gentle person, but now it seemed that he was gentle, but his heart was full of tricks!

“Of course, it’s to see your aunt.” Chen Lu answered seriously.

“Then you can also change clothes, put on that skirt. I haven’t seen you wear it since I bought it for you.”

The girl pouted angrily, “Which one is the main reason?”

Chen Lu paused for a moment, then cleared his throat forcefully, “Of course, it’s to change clothes, just a side trip. Why are you like this?”

“Liang Zhirou, classmate, Auntie Xiao treats me like her own son, everyone can see that. Is it a side trip for me to go see her? Could it be that I’m going to see you wear a skirt?”

“Filthy! Vulgar! This is a blatant slander!”

“If you spread this around, where will this true gentleman’s face go?”

Liang Zhirou didn’t notice that Chen Lu’s words suddenly became more frequent. She was stunned by his criticism and could only apologize in a pitiful tone, “Sorry…”

“Minor issue!”

Chen Lu waved his hand generously, “I forgive you.”

…

At the mall.

Liang Zhirou put on the waist-cinching long skirt that Chen Lu bought for her, walking beside him shyly.

Because it was 520, there were many couples holding each other’s arms in the mall.

They were naturally seen as part of this group, and Chen Lu was even looked at by countless envious and resentful eyes.

After feeling people looking at him, Chen Lu raised his head proudly.

Although this silly girl wasn’t that eye-catching usually, after putting on this kind of figure-hugging clothes, her slender and graceful figure and slender waist were a bit too much.

This was still with Liang Zhirou keeping her bangs. If she cut them, Chen Lu felt he would definitely get beaten up.

Liang Zhirou didn’t think that much. She just timidly followed Chen Lu, while recalling the styles she had decided to buy for Chen Lu.

Their arms would occasionally touch each other, but neither of them mentioned it, nor did they silently pull away.

They didn’t notice that the distance they were walking side by side this time was much closer than the last time they came here.

There seemed to be fewer stores selling men’s clothes than women’s clothes in the mall, and they quickly finished picking out clothes.

“How about this one?”

Liang Zhirou held the black T-shirt against Chen Lu, comparing it slightly.

The pattern on it was simple, and in her opinion, it suited Chen Lu’s style.

“Let the gentleman try it on.” The very professional saleswoman immediately saw the desire to buy in Liang Zhirou’s eyes.

Chen Lu walked lazily in front of Liang Zhirou, “Are we done?”

He didn’t know why, picking out clothes for Liang Zhirou was full of fun, he couldn’t get enough of it, but now that he was picking out clothes for himself, he was already sick of it.

The girl nodded vigorously, then suddenly took a few steps back.

“What are you doing?” Chen Lu tilted his head curiously.

Then he saw her take out her phone and take a picture of herself.

Liang Zhirou looked at the lazy and handsome Chen Lu in her phone, the more she looked, the more satisfied she was, and she couldn’t help but smile.

“This one.”

Chen Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

No more trying on clothes, finally liberated.

The strange thing about this silly girl was that she felt heartbroken about spending a few dozen yuan on clothes for herself, but when she bought clothes for Xiao Xunfang and Chen Lu, she didn’t even blink.

…

Chen Lu held the shopping bag, walking with Liang Zhirou to find the cinema in the mall.

He secretly glanced at the price.

For a men’s T-shirt, this price was already quite expensive. At least Chen Lu wouldn’t even consider it if he bought it for himself. Wang Xiaohua or Chen Mo would buy him this kind of clothes.

Now there was another Liang Zhirou.

“Isn’t it a bit expensive?” Chen Lu felt heartbroken. He knew how hard this silly girl worked part-time.

Liang Zhirou was still immersed in the joy of buying clothes for Chen Lu, “The skirt I bought for you is even more expensive.”

“Is this what it feels like to be taken care of by a rich woman? It’s so cool.”

“Where is she a rich woman…”

Liang Zhirou retorted softly, thinking that if I were a rich woman, I might have already taken care of you.

Why would I still be hesitant to confess…

Chen Lu smiled and tapped her forehead, saying meaningfully, “You will be in the future.”

“Let’s go, watch a movie.”
