Chapter 90: Why is this Couple All High Attack and Low Defense?

Chen Lu sighed, “Alright, alright.”

He slowly closed his eyes, and the sudden darkness made him feel strangely nervous.

Why did the roles suddenly switch? How come dating felt like playing a turn-based game?

“Don’t open your eyes, please…” Liang Zhirou begged, her voice trembling.

“Okay.”

Chen Lu replied softly, and then the surroundings fell silent. With his eyes closed, he could only hear the girl’s continuous deep breaths.

He could hear them very clearly.

She was still very nervous.

The midday sun shone through the windows in the hallway, falling on Chen Lu’s face.

Liang Zhirou, her eyes wet, looked at the handsome boy in front of her, trying to calm herself down.

Fortunately, Chen Lu, as he promised, kept his eyes closed and didn’t move. He didn’t urge her, leaving everything to her.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl finally made up her mind, but then she discovered a new problem.

Where… where do I kiss him?

“…”

Chen Lu continued to close his eyes tightly. He felt like time was slowing down, making him feel incredibly insecure.

Firstly, he didn’t know where this silly girl was going to kiss him, and secondly, he didn’t know when she would kiss him.

It could be the next second, or it could be a long time from now.

It felt a bit painful, and a little exciting.

He swore it was just a little bit.

Could she just get it over with?

Was this the legendary “placement play”?

He nervously swallowed, afraid that he would accidentally open his eyes.

Just then, he suddenly felt a warm breath on his face, followed by the scent of the girl’s hair.

Liang Zhirou’s hair fell on his neck, sliding across his skin, making him feel itchy.

Then, soft lips gently landed on his neck…

They stayed there for two seconds before slowly moving away.

That small patch of skin instantly became moist and slightly cool.

Whether it was the girl’s breath on his neck or the final kiss, Chen Lu felt a surge of excitement.

An indescribable feeling of intense happiness spread from his neck to his heart, then throughout his entire body.

After recovering from his shock, he took several deep breaths before asking softly, “Can I open my eyes now?”

“Can you wait a little longer?” Liang Zhirou’s voice was full of grievance.

“Why?”

“I’m nervous…” the girl mumbled softly, “I’m less nervous if you can’t see me.”

She felt like she was going to die of embarrassment. Her cheeks were burning hot, and she knew her face must be red.

“I was wrong, you’re not a bull, you’re an ostrich.” Chen Lu said with a smile.

This silly girl wasn’t proving her affection; he felt like Liang Zhirou was already head over heels for him.

After all, this kind of action required immense courage for her.

The corner of his mouth had been raised ever since.

After a few more minutes, under Chen Lu’s persistent pleas, Liang Zhirou finally let him open his eyes.

It was a bit uncomfortable to adjust to the light again, but once his vision cleared, he saw the girl’s face, red as a small tomato.

Although Chen Lu was used to this silly girl’s sudden attacks, he still felt his cheeks getting a little hot, so he decided to get his revenge.

“We agreed on this before, we have to reciprocate.” He joked, “How about I kiss you back?”

Liang Zhirou leaned against the wall, lowering her head and mumbling softly: “That was a promise between friends, now… now it doesn’t count.”

She felt like her words sounded like a villain’s.

“Now we’re boyfriend and girlfriend.”

She squeezed her fingers, whispering softly, while secretly glancing at the place where she had kissed him, making sure there were no marks before relaxing.

So it doesn’t leave a mark after just one kiss…

The girl thought to herself, unaware of the planting methods for strawberries.

“You can kiss me, but I can’t kiss you.”

Chen Lu concluded softly, then couldn’t help but laugh, “Oh, who’s this little hooligan?”

Liang Zhirou was embarrassed, so she could only lower her head deeply and say with grievance, “Yours.”

“…”

The smile on Chen Lu’s face suddenly froze.

He felt like if he had a health bar, it would have been emptied in an instant.

In the end, his defense was made of paper.

No matter how much he tried to be tough, he had to admit that he had “lost” today, and lost badly.

He was actually made to have his heart race multiple times by such a silly girl, and he couldn’t even fight back.

Just as he was still in a daze, Liang Zhirou leaned in again, resting her forehead against his shoulder.

“I’ll get better and better.” Although the girl’s voice was small, it was unexpectedly firm.

Chen Lu turned his head, and from this angle, he could only see the girl’s long hair.

…Too unfair.

Isn’t kissing the neck more exaggerated than kissing the forehead?

The phrase “getting better and better” became ambiguous in his mind.

Would it be too much to be excited now?

This kind of girl was becoming more and more proactive for him, it was too explosive.

Chen Lu curled his lips and reached out to stroke the girl’s hair.

“Take your time.”

Liang Zhirou nodded slightly after hearing this, continuing to rub against Chen Lu’s shoulder like a kitten, feeling incredibly secure.

Her racing heart gradually calmed down.

She firmly believed that the boy in front of her was heaven’s compensation for her. After meeting Chen Lu, she gradually felt happiness again.

“I like you.”

The girl whispered softly.

“I really like you.”

The feelings in her heart seemed to bloom like flowers. A boy was willing to accompany her like this, how could she not be moved?

Chen Lu’s movements paused, then he continued to stroke the girl’s soft hair, “I like you too.”

“I’ll try my best.” Liang Zhirou didn’t know how many times she had said this sentence, but for some reason, she just wanted to say it.

“I know, don’t rush.” Chen Lu responded softly with a smile on his face.

“I’ll always be with you, just like before.”

Every word Liang Zhirou said poured into Chen Lu’s heart, making his nose feel a little sour. He swore to himself that he would never let this silly girl suffer any hardship in his lifetime.

“I’ll be good to you forever.” Chen Lu’s expression was very serious.

These words were genuine, but he was also secretly thinking about how to get his revenge next time.

It would just be a slow boil, Chen Lu felt familiar with it.

Although he had made a mistake before, he wouldn’t this time.

The one who would be boiled would be this silly girl, not him.

He was determined to avoid what happened before, where he had control of the ball the whole time, but ended up being surprised by Liang Zhirou’s sneak attack and her confession.

How can a child cry all the time? How can someone always lose?

This time, I will win!

The advantage is mine!
