Chapter 121: You Have Me in Your Future (Volume 2, End)

For a long time, the distance between them gradually separated.

Liang Zhirou hung her head, wiping the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, secretly glancing towards home, feeling increasingly guilty.

How far away from home were they? Wasn’t this like digging a hole right under the emperor’s nose?

This Chen Lu was too good at taking advantage, she had to be smarter in the future, she couldn’t be fooled by him anymore.

The girl kept thinking to herself.

Otherwise, otherwise wouldn’t they have done that before they even got married…

She made up her mind, although her heart and her whole person belonged to Chen Lu, she had to stick to her bottom line.

Kissing and hugging were fine with Chen Lu, but everything else had to wait until after marriage.

At the earliest, it had to wait until they got their marriage certificate.

…Or maybe engagement? What if she was tricked into getting engaged by Chen Lu before they even got their marriage certificate?

It couldn’t be any earlier! It couldn’t be too easy…

“You’re such a bad boy,” Liang Zhirou caught her breath and hummed softly. She had planned to go to a crowded place to play, so Chen Lu wouldn’t have a chance to take advantage.

Unexpectedly, Chen Lu agreed, but instead, he chose to ruin her before they left.

After all, one step ahead, one step behind.

“You’re making me feel so embarrassed,” Chen Lu shrugged and smiled at her.

Liang Zhirou stared at him blankly, her mouth slightly open, she always felt that her boyfriend’s skin was getting thicker and thicker.

But this time, Chen Lu was much more honest, his hands really didn’t move, he just kissed.

For a moment, she didn’t even know whether to be happy or not. Anyway, she couldn’t praise him, otherwise, this guy would definitely take advantage of it again.

“You’re a scoundrel!” Liang Zhirou was about to be driven crazy by herself, but she couldn’t be fierce at all, and she had to avoid looking at Chen Lu.

Otherwise, she would break down immediately.

She suddenly caught a glimpse of something bulging on Chen Lu’s body and quickly averted her gaze.

It must be hard to carry an air conditioner remote control with you when you go out.

Chen Lu sighed helplessly, “I told you not to praise me, why do you keep praising me? It’s so embarrassing.”

“Do you like me so much?”

“Don’t move,” the girl suddenly said.

Chen Lu stood there motionless, curiously asking, “What’s wrong?”

Liang Zhirou, looking like she was stealing something, looked here and there, then gently lifted his T-shirt a little, revealing his thin abs.

Liang Zhirou looked at them curiously. The last time she slept at Chen Lu’s house, she couldn’t look at them like this.

They weren’t even a couple back then.

The girl’s lips unconsciously curved upwards. She didn’t know how charming her smile was in Chen Lu’s eyes at this moment.

“Can I touch it?” she asked softly.

“I’m not stopping you.”

Liang Zhirou pursed her lips and nodded, reaching out to gently stroke it.

“Now we’re both scoundrels,” Chen Lu said with a smile.

“You’re the scoundrel, I’m not,” Liang Zhirou said seriously while poking it playfully, “I’m getting revenge.”

“Let’s get this straight, you kissed me just now, now I’m touching your abs, we’re even. Don’t say anything about wanting to touch my stomach later.”

Chen Lu frowned, this logic sounded so familiar.

Could it be that she learned it from me?

No, no, it’s not, I learned it from her. My pure and innocent self must have been corrupted by this silly goose.

He silently nodded in his heart, shifting the blame while realizing that this silly goose had gotten smarter, occasionally throwing out a few pieces of firewood from the bottom of the pot.

He would have to put in more effort in the future to add firewood.

He was cooking the frog in warm water, if he could still let the frog notice and jump out, how could he still mix in the underworld?

None of the male leads in those online novels are this embarrassing, okay?

When Liang Zhirou’s palm pressed against his, the calluses on her hand became even more apparent, and Chen Lu could clearly feel them.

The smile that had been floating on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by a serious and heavy gaze.

But before the girl noticed, he smiled again.

After a while, Liang Zhirou coughed lightly and slowly pulled Chen Lu’s clothes down.

Chen Lu felt inexplicably disappointed. As he reminisced about the feeling, he asked, “Done?”

“Yeah.”

“Then let me touch your belly.”

Liang Zhirou was so startled that she immediately took two steps back. “We agreed on this!”

Chen Lu nodded slightly. “We did agree, so I’m not retaliating. You let me touch your belly first, and then I’ll let you touch mine.”

Taking advantage of the girl’s stunned moment, he simply grabbed her wrist and placed her hand back on his stomach.

Liang Zhirou watched this scene, her eyes blinking rapidly, feeling like her head was about to explode. How could this guy be so cunning and shameless?

When would she finally win once?

The girl ran away in despair, her long hair swaying with her steps, incredibly graceful. But when she realized halfway through that Chen Lu wasn’t chasing after her, she stopped like a silly roe deer and looked back.

A roe deer is a creature that lives in the northeast region. It’s known for being slow to react and although it can run fast when chased, if you stop chasing halfway, it will curiously come back to look at you.

When it has nowhere to hide, it will bury its head, thinking that you won’t be able to see it.

As an animal, it’s the epitome of being cute and clumsy.

Of course, humans can also be cute and clumsy—like Liang Zhirou.

In Chen Lu’s eyes, it would be incredibly easy to knock her unconscious and take her home.

Sure enough, while Chen Lu stood there as if thinking about something, Liang Zhirou slowly moved back.

“What are you doing? What’s wrong?” she asked softly.

Chen Lu slowly raised his head and smiled at her. “I’m waiting for you to take the bait.”

“You!”

Liang Zhirou was so scared that she shouted and ran away again.

Unfortunately, this time the distance between them was too close, and Chen Lu wasn’t caught off guard like before because he was thinking about something. He caught up with her in a few steps and hugged her tightly from behind.

The girl giggled at his teasing, and after struggling a few times without escaping, she simply gave up.

“Don’t be silly,” Liang Zhirou begged for mercy, acting cute.

Because they had run out of the alleyway, a few scattered passersby unconsciously cast their gaze here, and then their minds seemed to explode with a lemon.

“There are people,” she continued in a low voice, rubbing her cheek against Chen Lu’s arm, using all her cuteness and charm.

She originally didn’t know how to do any of this. After all, she had never had anyone to act cute with before. But after being with Chen Lu, she gradually learned without a teacher, and even became more proficient.

After a while.

Chen Lu was scrolling through his phone and asked softly, “Where do you want to go? We said we’d take you to the aquarium or the amusement park.”

“It feels a bit strange to just keep playing like this…” Liang Zhirou lowered her head and twirled her fingers, feeling inexplicably awkward in her heart.

There was a sense of guilt that she couldn’t shake off, like a dark cloud hanging over her.

She was like a built-in fire extinguisher. Whenever she was happy, she would suddenly remember things at home, remember that she had to earn money quickly, think about the pressure that was on her like a mountain…

Chen Lu smiled and pinched her cheek, sighing helplessly. “Liang Zhirou, you’re only nineteen years old.”

“I swear I will make you happy for the rest of your life. You won’t be able to be unhappy even if you want to.” Chen Lu stood in the direction of the rising sun, extended his right hand towards her, smiling softly, his gaze gentle.

“You just live happily, and leave everything else to me.”

Under the glow of the rising sun, two hands, large and small, slowly clasped together.

Finally, their fingers intertwined.
