Chapter 110: Flashing to Dodge the Big Move

Chen Lu unconsciously swallowed, “What did you say?”

He couldn’t believe it. He had only been busy for a few days, and this silly girl had learned to add fuel to the fire herself?

Liang Zhirou quietly looked up at Chen Lu’s shocked expression, feeling even more ashamed. She tightly gripped his clothes with her small hands, unable to speak a word.

Why had she suddenly become a fool who couldn’t live without hugging and kissing Chen Lu?

She couldn’t figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. After all, she hadn’t seen Chen Lu much during the past few days of studying. With a gritted tooth and a closed eye, she wrapped her arms around him.

She actively threw herself into his arms.

Chen Lu, who was already quite shocked, was completely stunned.

He hadn’t expected Liang Zhirou to be so proactive in hugging him.

He didn’t know why, but he remembered every time this silly girl took the initiative.

Because she was truly trying her best.

Trying her best to love him, trying her best to change for him.

As his thoughts raced, he slowly embraced the lovely girl in front of him, burying his face in her neck, inhaling her unique fragrance.

Liang Zhirou’s waist was slender, making her very comfortable to hold. All he had to do was gently pull her closer, and the soft girl would fall right into his arms.

She didn’t resist, allowing Chen Lu to hold her tightly. She even gently pecked his cheek.

Then she continued to bury her face in his clothes.

At that moment, all the fatigue from her sleepless nights disappeared.

Of course, so did the longing that had kept her tossing and turning at night. These past few days, both Chen Lu and she had been busy with their own things, giving her a taste of missing her boyfriend.

Even when she was eating, she couldn’t help but think about whether Chen Lu was eating well. But she didn’t dare to message him directly, fearing that he was busy and would find her too chatty.

Chen Lu felt a sudden whiff of lychee candy, but he didn’t think much of it. He began to respond to her earnestly, lowering his head to kiss her cheek.

This silly girl had such beautiful skin, soft and smooth. It was incredibly satisfying to kiss her.

“Don’t leave a mark,” Liang Zhirou specifically instructed, actively tilting her neck so that it wouldn’t be too uncomfortable for Chen Lu to kiss her.

“Okay.”

Chen, the master chef who only knew how to boil frogs, the strawberry planting expert, Lu had no choice but to obediently follow the girl’s request.

He could kiss her, but what about a bicycle?

However, he only temporarily shelved his plan to plant strawberries. He didn’t give up at all. In fact, he secretly made up his mind to leave kiss marks all over this silly girl’s body sooner or later.

“You have dark circles.”

After a while, Chen Lu gently cupped the girl’s cheek, his voice filled with concern.

Liang Zhirou’s lips pouted from being cupped, making her speech sound like a big tongue, “You have them too.”

His dark circles were no lighter than hers. It was obvious that he hadn’t gotten much sleep lately.

Chen Lu widened his eyes with both hands, as if he was making a funny face, “I got them specially for you. We’re a couple. When we walk down the street, people will know right away.”

Hearing this, the girl couldn’t help but smile. Of course, she knew Chen Lu was joking, but her heart couldn’t help but feel happy.

She was easily appeased, and even something like this could make her happy for a long time.

But despite her smile, she still felt heart ache.

Although she didn’t feel heart ache for herself at all, seeing Chen Lu with dark circles made her particularly heart ache.

“You should sleep more,” Liang Zhirou said softly.

Chen Lu continued to rub the girl’s face, watching as her cute face contorted into various comical expressions. He joked, “I can’t help it. Money doesn’t grow on trees.”

“If I don’t work hard now, how will I give you a good life after we get married?”

He deliberately used a teasing tone to avoid letting the girl realize that he was doing it for her, adding unnecessary psychological burden to her.

Unexpectedly, even though he used this teasing tone, Liang Zhirou still took his words to heart.

She tightly held Chen Lu’s hands, her voice both nervous and serious, “It’s okay. You don’t need to pay for Mom’s treatment.”

“In the future…

As long as you’re by my side, it doesn’t matter. If we can’t afford a car, we’ll just ride an electric bike. You can drive me around every day, and I can hug you from behind.

We can save up for a house slowly. We don’t have to live in Hangzhou. Wherever you want to go, I’ll go with you.”

The girl counted on her fingers as she seriously planned.

“I can cook. We just need money to buy groceries. And I don’t have many hobbies, I don’t like shopping, and I don’t spend much money…”

Before Liang Zhirou could finish her sentence, Chen Lu embraced her tightly.

His lips twitched, his mood complex.

If she wasn’t under the legal age, he would have taken this silly girl to get a marriage certificate right now.

Although he wasn’t sure if she’d be willing.

The more she said this, the more he wanted to work hard to give her a better life.

How could he possibly let this kind of girlfriend suffer even the slightest bit of hardship?

Not even a little bit.

The sudden embrace startled Liang Zhirou. After regaining her composure, she hugged him back, her hands resting on Chen Lu’s back. She closed her eyes and rubbed her cheek against his, her voice soft with happiness as she said, “I don’t mind anything else, as long as you’re always by my side…”

She felt his rapid heartbeat and resolved to work harder. What if she really became a rich woman capable of supporting Chen Lu in the future?

Then she wouldn’t let him do anything. All he had to do was love and cherish her every day, give her kisses and hugs, and spend the rest of his time playing games.

Coincidentally, Chen Lu thought the same.

He gently stroked the calluses that shouldn’t have been on her delicate hands, looked at the project proposal on the table, his gaze unusually determined, vowing to take responsibility for her future.

He, a man, didn’t even have calluses on his hands. How could they appear on his girlfriend’s hands?

…

After a long time.

Jiang Chao saw that Liu Yan only replied with a beating emoji, and his heart felt a little heavy.

But then he thought about how his good brother Chen Lu was also arguing with his girlfriend, and he immediately felt much happier.

That’s how people are. They’re not afraid of suffering themselves, but they’re afraid of being the only one suffering.

Seeing the door to Chen Lu’s office slowly open, he coughed, suppressing the smile on his lips, ready to witness a good show.

But then he saw Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou coming out of the office together, looking very close.

Something wasn’t right.

Weren’t you supposed to be sharing the same hardship with your brother?

While he was still gaping in disbelief, Chen Lu sat down in front of him with a look of disgust.

“What’s with that look of wisdom? Quickly finalize the project procedures.”

As for Liang Zhirou, she was pulled aside by Lin Miaomiao as soon as she stepped out of the office.

“How was it, how was it? Did you eat the fruit candy I gave you? How did the first kiss feel?”

Lin Miaomiao became more and more excited. “Was he shocked?”

Liang Zhirou shook her head blankly, bewildered. “We didn’t kiss.”

？？？？

Lin Miaomiao’s mouth hung open, stunned for a moment. “Why didn’t you kiss? You even threw yourself into his arms, how could he resist?”

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t believe it. If it were her, she would have kissed him.

Such a beautiful and cute girl, throwing herself into his arms and asking for kisses and hugs, how could he possibly resist?

Liang Zhirou lowered her head deeply. “Maybe he didn’t understand what I meant.”

Lin Miaomiao tapped her digital tablet with her drawing pen, making a “da da” sound. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Chen Lu couldn’t be that wooden. She turned and asked, “Did you say what I told you to say?”

“No…” Liang Zhirou looked like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to meet Lin Miaomiao’s gaze. “I wasn’t comfortable saying it.”

Lin Miaomiao sighed in exasperation. “Then your mental preparation was all for nothing?”

“Zhirou, you’re a mature girl now! You need to learn to tempt him to kiss you! You need to learn this to capture a man’s heart, understand?”

“As girls, we also need to be proactive. We can’t just let the guys do all the work. But at the same time, we need to be reserved. For example, you can let him hug you without resisting, but you have to say ‘no’ out loud, understand?”

Liang Zhirou nodded knowingly, not questioning the professionalism of her theoretical mentor at all.

Even though the other party was a single pringle, all her dating experience came from anime and gal games.

And some adult movies.
