Chapter 94: I’m Not at Ease

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, quickly stepping forward to hug Chen Lu’s arm, “Brother~”

Although Chen Lu had always been gentle with her since she was a child, she was still afraid of being retaliated against.

After all, a clear gun is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against, and Chen Lu was the kind of person who only used hidden arrows.

Seeing that Chen Lu ignored her, her brain spun rapidly, and she immediately pounced on Liang Zhirou.

“Sister-in-law~~”

As soon as these words came out, both Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou were stunned.

Chen Mo seized the opportunity to continue acting spoiled, saying with a pitiful voice, “Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, my brother made me eat the computer…”

“You, don’t call me that.” Liang Zhirou was both shocked and nervous, and a little happy to be called that, quickly stopping her from this socially anxious behavior.

“You control him.” Chen Mo sniffed, raised her head, her eyes still glistening with tears, “Sister-in-law, if you don’t help me, no one will…”

“I was just severely scolded by my parents this afternoon, and if I get disciplined by my brother again, how can I live…”

Her words were filled with a crying tone, which really scared Liang Zhirou.

Chen Lu was speechless, not knowing that his little sister had suffered such a great injustice.

Liang Zhirou was really helpless, so she could only pretend to say to Chen Lu, “Don’t bully Xiao Mo.”

Hearing this, Chen Lu sighed helplessly, pointing at Chen Mo, “For your sister-in-law’s sake, this matter is over. Next time, you’ll see how I deal with you.”

He was no longer angry, only feeling a sense of relief.

This little sister is really good, she knows how to do things.

How could it be a cheap little sister? It’s all a misunderstanding.

“Brother, you’re so good!”

Chen Mo, with a carefree attitude, wiped her tears casually, instantly becoming as if nothing had happened.

The siblings instantly made peace, leaving Liang Zhirou alone, not understanding the situation.

After a few more seconds, she finally realized what Chen Lu had just said, a blush slowly spreading from her neck to her face, looking at Chen Lu shyly, “You’re talking nonsense too!”

What kind of people are these siblings!

“Sister Zhirou, could it be that you don’t want to marry my brother?” Chen Mo tilted her head and asked, with an exaggerated expression of “Do you just want to play around?”

This question immediately stumped Liang Zhirou. After a lot of effort, her mouth opened and closed for a long time before she managed to squeeze out a single word:

“Want…”

Chen Mo glanced at her elder brother whose corners of his mouth were about to reach the sky, suppressing a smile and shrugged, “Then that’s it, anyway, you two are going to get married sooner or later, what’s the difference if I call you that earlier or later?”

“Just consider it early adaptation.”

Is there such a thing as early adaptation?

Liang Zhirou was now completely convinced that these two were inseparable siblings, they were both masters of nitpicking and changing the subject.

Seeing Liang Zhirou’s nervous appearance, Chen Mo couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore, hugged her and rubbed her face against hers, saying sweetly:

“Sister-in-law, you’re so cute, and you’re so beautiful, it’s really a steal for my brother.”

Even if she searched her entire school, she couldn’t find anyone as beautiful as Liang Zhirou.

After saying that, she sighed, straightened her T-shirt and walked slowly towards her bedroom, “I’m going back to my room, I won’t be a light bulb for you two. But you two must not do anything bad, although my house has good sound insulation, I won’t be able to hear it.”

Chen Lu didn’t bother with her, curiously asking, “Where did Mom and Dad go?”

“Mom is in a meeting, and Dad went to pick her up. Don’t worry, they won’t be back for half an hour.”

“Filthy!”

With the bedroom door being slammed shut, the living room became completely quiet.

Chen Lu’s corners of his mouth hadn’t dropped since he heard Liang Zhirou say “want.”

“What do you want to eat tonight?” Liang Zhirou couldn’t stand the quiet and somewhat ambiguous atmosphere, so she asked softly.

Chen Lu looked up at the time, still lounging lazily on the sofa.

“It’s still early, I’ll go downstairs with you to buy groceries later.”

Liang Zhirou had just nodded when she saw Chen Lu suddenly lean in, “Do you want to go to my room for a while?”

“No way.”

The girl quickly refused, in this situation, going to his room was no different from walking into the lion’s den.

“I won’t eat you.” Chen Lu was helpless, he just thought this silly girl was sitting too stiffly in the living room, he was just saying that for fear she would get tired.

I’m a gentleman, right? Has my image in this silly girl’s eyes gone wrong?

There must be some misunderstanding, how could I possibly take advantage of her.

He couldn’t help but think to himself, and subconsciously held the girl’s hand.

Chen Lu’s entrance hall was directly opposite the sofa in the living room, making Chen Lu really dare not go too far, he could only honestly hold her hand.

After a while of quiet, the two of them went downstairs to buy groceries.

……

Just as they reached the entrance of the residential area, they saw two old men playing chess there.

The gentle evening breeze blew through the treetops, and the two of them sat under the shade of the trees, holding teacups.

“I knew you’d be playing chess here, Grandpa Zhao.” Chen Lu greeted naturally.

The old man wearing glasses looked up and saw him, his face lit up with a joyful smile, and he quickly waved his hand, “Xiao Lu, come over and help me with this game, I’ll take a break.”

The other old man was unhappy, “No outside help allowed! You’re taking a break, you just realized you can’t win!”

Grandpa Zhao pretended not to hear, looking at the girl holding hands with Chen Lu in shock, “Xiao Lu has a girlfriend already?”

At the same time, he didn’t forget to secretly shuffle the chess pieces.

Sure enough, the other old man’s attention was also drawn to Liang Zhirou, and he didn’t notice his little trick.

Liang Zhirou was embarrassed to be looked at, she lowered her head and stood beside Chen Lu, also calling out “Grandpa.”

“This girl is really sensible, and she’s also pretty.”

Grandpa Zhao finished speaking, then shook his head with a smile, sighing softly, “Alas, I’m getting old.”

He stretched out his hand and gestured, “I remember you were this big, and in the blink of an eye, you even have a girlfriend. Time really flies…”

Chen Lu smiled and agreed, holding the girl’s hand a little tighter.

He didn’t know why, but he felt a bit dazed when he heard those words.

When a truly old person who has watched you grow up sighs about how time flies, you may really have grown up.

After all, the favorite thing for people of this age is to reminisce about the past.

After chatting for a few words, the two of them continued walking towards the nearby vegetable market.

“Do you two know each other well?” Liang Zhirou asked curiously.

Chen Lu nodded slightly, “Yeah, not long after I met you, my family moved here, he watched me grow up. His wife passed away several years ago, and since then, he’s been fishing and playing chess every day.”

“But he’s really addicted to chess even though he’s not good at it, my father sometimes gets called to play with him.”

The girl gently hummed, not saying anything else, she always felt that Chen Lu was really good at this, he could talk to anyone except those he didn’t want to talk to.

“I must live longer than you. Well, just a little bit longer.” After a while, Chen Lu suddenly said to himself.

Liang Zhirou felt strange, turned her head and looked at him with a serious expression, “I thought you would say you want to die before me, so you wouldn’t be sad or anything.”

Thanks to a friend who loved watching romance dramas, she had heard this kind of sentence structure.

Chen Lu shook his head, denying the girl’s guess, and said solemnly:

“I’m not at ease.”

Liang Zhirou blinked, slowly wrapping her arm around Chen Lu’s, getting closer.

Those four simple words seemed to contain a thousand words.

……

Soon, Liang Zhirou regretted going out to buy groceries with Chen Lu.

Along the way, she didn’t know how many times she was introduced by Chen Lu with a smug look.

This wasn’t buying groceries, it was completely going to visit relatives!
