Chapter 105: Time is One-Way, Memories Are Not

Chen Lu only had one thought in his mind at the moment—

He really wanted to open his eyes and hold this silly girl down for a kiss.

But he quickly suppressed this idea.

As long as I pretend not to notice, this silly girl might even sneak another kiss later.

Thinking about this, Chen Lu suddenly felt enlightened.

This isn’t her taking advantage of me, it’s me taking advantage of her!

After a while, after being gently shaken by Liang Zhirou twice, Chen Lu pretended to have just woken up and slowly opened his eyes.

“Have some water.”

Liang Zhirou handed the thermos to Chen Lu and said softly.

After indirectly kissing Chen Lu several times, her acceptance level had increased considerably.

The silly frog seemed completely unaware that the temperature around her was getting higher and higher.

Chen Lu, the master chef who only knew how to cook “boiling a frog slowly,” took the cup and drank a few big gulps.

“I had a dream just now,” Chen Lu said.

Liang Zhirou looked at him curiously, “What dream?”

“I dreamed that you secretly kissed me.”

The girl suddenly didn’t dare to look at him, hurriedly sitting down properly, “A-a dream is just a dream.”

She felt extremely nervous, her fingers intertwined.

Liang Zhirou! What have you done!

You almost got labeled as a flirt!

Even though she only secretly kissed her boyfriend, Liang Zhirou still felt like she was going to die of embarrassment.

But she quickly came up with another self-deceiving thought.

It’s been ten minutes since the kiss, if he had truly woken up, how could he have held on for so long, Chen Lu wouldn’t be that bored.

Yes, that must be it!

Chen Lu snorted disdainfully, “I’m happy even if it’s just a dream.”

It was almost noon now, the scorching sun hung high in the sky, and the strong light made it hard to open one’s eyes.

Chen Lu took out the sunglasses in the car and put them on the girl, then started the engine.

Looking at Liang Zhirou wearing sunglasses, Chen Lu couldn’t help but chuckle, “You look pretty cool.”

This pure and cute silly girl wearing sunglasses actually had a different kind of charm.

…

After another three hours, Chen Lu parked the car near Liang Zhirou’s hometown.

Since the remaining road was too difficult to drive, the two of them had to get out and walk.

Unlike the steel jungle of the city, the outdoor view was very open, the clouds flew high, and the air was fresh.

It was the end of June, and as soon as Chen Lu got out of the car, he saw an endless field of wheat, a golden expanse that met the azure sky on the horizon in the distance, making him stop in his tracks.

Whenever a gentle breeze blew, all the wheat swayed together, the waves of wheat like a tide, constantly surging forward and retreating.

He felt like he could even smell the fragrance of the wheat.

The love for farming seemed to be ingrained in the genes of every member of the Zhong Hua family.

“Do you want to try some?” Liang Zhirou stood beside him and asked softly.

Seeing Chen Lu’s awestruck expression, she found it amusing, it turned out that her seemingly all-knowing boyfriend also had such an unsophisticated side.

He’s so cute.

“Can you eat this directly?” Chen Lu turned to look at her with a shocked expression.

Although he occasionally went back to his hometown with Chen Guanglin, he didn’t know much about these things.

He naturally didn’t know that nature, like a slide or an amusement park, could also give children a complete and happy childhood.

“You can.”

The girl said softly, reaching out to pick a small ear of wheat, rubbing it between her hands.

She opened her hand and blew lightly, leaving only a few grains of wheat in her palm.

“Here.”

Chen Lu picked up a grain and put it in his mouth, his brows furrowed, feeling strange as he chewed.

It tasted a bit old.

Liang Zhirou couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction, “The wheat isn’t good to eat when it turns yellow. It’s the best when it’s still green, soft and tender, and a little sweet.”

“How long will we be walking?” Chen Lu asked, looking at the girl. The breeze kept blowing her hair, making it sway slightly along with the wheat field behind her, making Chen Lu feel a little dizzy.

He suddenly realized that her hair had grown a little longer, and he wondered if it was because she liked it that way.

He felt a little touched.

“It will be a while…” Liang Zhirou lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed. When she saw Chen Lu taking pictures of her, she mustered up her courage and looked at the camera.

Posing was still a little difficult for her, but she had no problem cooperating with Chen Lu for photos.

Perhaps it was because of Chen Lu, she now also liked taking pictures of him, and occasionally she would look at his photos and secretly smile.

At first, she didn’t quite understand, but now she felt that recording the appearance of someone she liked was a happy thing. When she saw the photos again, she could even recall the things she experienced that day.

Chen Lu put down his phone and smiled, extending his hand towards her, “Then we can walk slowly together with my girlfriend.”

The guilt in Liang Zhirou’s heart dissipated a bit, and she shyly took Chen Lu’s hand, walking together on the path.

After the change in environment, the pressure she had been feeling seemed to disappear. Seeing Chen Lu’s surprised reactions, she also felt like she was on an outing.

She hadn’t experienced this kind of relaxed and carefree mood in a long time. Most importantly, Chen Lu was by her side.

At this moment, she desperately hoped that time would slow down, allowing her to indulge in this feeling a little longer.

Just a little longer.

After a long time, they walked through the wheat field and entered the mountains.

Chen Lu hadn’t expected that he, who had been saying that the silly girl would be sold to the mountains, seemed to be the one who was taken to the mountains.

When they reached a place familiar to Liang Zhirou, she gradually became more talkative, acting like a tour guide, telling Chen Lu about all sorts of things he had never seen before.

It was only after she caught a cricket that she realized her boyfriend was so afraid of insects.

Seeing the girl giggling, Chen Lu looked away in annoyance, walking to a small stream with a thin but fast current.

As soon as he put his hand in, he felt a wave of coolness.

“Can you catch fish?” Chen Lu asked, turning his head.

？？

Hearing this, the girl who had been laughing turned back into her silly self, not knowing how to respond, so she could only mumble softly, “……I, I’m not good at everything.”

Chen Lu ran around the mountains, looking here and there.

At this moment, the two of them seemed to have turned back into children, making Liang Zhirou feel a little dazed.

Many of the scenes and places she had seen and played in when she was a child had taken on a new meaning after bringing Chen Lu here.

If it had been Chen Lu from her childhood playing here with her, it wouldn’t have been much different, right?

Suddenly, she remembered something and went forward, taking Chen Lu’s right hand with both of hers, “I’ll take you to a place, you’ll definitely like it…”
