Chapter 127: What if this isn’t a Succubus?

“Are you tired…?” Liang Zhirou asked softly, looking quite guilty.

Her eyes were filled with pity as she looked at Chen Lu. She knew very well that Chen Lu wasn’t a person who liked to wake up early. He would yawn all day if he woke up even a little earlier, but today he had come to her house early to take them to the hospital, and he had been busy running around ever since.

Chen Lu’s eyes were bloodshot, clearly showing that he was forcing himself to stay awake.

“It’s okay, just leave it all to me.” Chen Lu replied lightly.

Liang Zhirou cupped Chen Lu’s face, staring at his slightly tired eyes, her own eyes gradually turning red.

Chen Lu held her hand that was on his cheek, and asked with a mischievous smile, “Are you still confused about why I’m so good to you?”

The girl nodded slightly.

He gently kissed the back of her hand, “Just like you, I like you even more than you think.”

Liang Zhirou’s eyes flickered, her breathing became increasingly rapid, but her expression was a bit helpless.

This guy makes my heart race all the time, what’s he trying to do?!

I don’t have any money, only this person and this life, if you want them… just take them all!

“I haven’t answered your question yet.”

Chen Lu tilted his head, “What question?”

“Why are you so good to me even though I like you so much? You only said that even after we get married, it would be the same, but you didn’t give a reason.”

“Because I want a lot more. It’s not enough for you to love me, I also want you to be happy every day, I want you to have no worries…” Chen Lu turned his head to look at her, “And you haven’t married me yet.”

Liang Zhirou turned her head to the side, “I’m not old enough…”

“So when you’re old enough, you’ll marry me?” Chen Lu leaned close to the girl’s ear and continued to ask.

“You… I…”

The girl looked at him with both shame and anger, her guilt fading a little.

“You’re bullying me!”

How can you force a girl to say that? I can’t just say ‘when I’m old enough, I’ll go get a marriage license with you’…

Even if I really want to, I can’t say that…

The more Liang Zhirou thought about it, the angrier she got. Chen Lu got what he wanted, and she finally used her head to bump him hard.

The two of them chatted and returned to the ward.

As soon as they entered, Chen Lu froze.

Because his mother was sitting by the bed, chatting and laughing with Xiao Xunfang who was lying in bed.

He rubbed his eyes hard, before he could believe he wasn’t dreaming.

“Why are you here?” Chen Lu asked curiously.

Wang Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at him, “Can’t I come and see?”

Then she spread her hands towards Xiao Xunfang, “I told you he’s been a pain in the neck since he was a kid, you didn’t believe me.”

“Look at this kid, his first words when he saw me were ‘why are you here’?”

Xiao Xunfang couldn’t help but smile, the wrinkles on her face still looked so haggard.

The difference between the two was even greater when they were close together. Although Xiao Xunfang was a few years older than Wang Xiaoxia, to outsiders, she looked at least ten years older.

They didn’t even seem like they were from the same age group…

Chen Lu only then realized that he was still holding the girl’s hand, and for a moment he didn’t know what to do.

He was thick-skinned, but he was still a little nervous about holding hands in front of both their parents.

While he was still thinking about whether to let go, the girl, who had also realized this, had quietly let go.

Now he was unhappy. He was about to reach out to grab her hand, but he saw Liang Zhirou giving him a pleading look.

I feel a little excited…

He snorted coldly in his heart like a victorious general, and simply decided to call a truce for now.

Just like that? You can’t handle this?

“You’ve just been used to it since you were young.” Xiao Xunfang said with a faint smile, “There aren’t many good boys like Xiao Lu. He hasn’t stopped for a moment today.”

There was some guilt in her words, but her heart was truly happy. She really didn’t expect Wang Xiaoxia to come to see her on her own initiative, and from her personality, she must also be taking good care of Liang Zhirou.

At this age, the most worrying thing is the children’s marriage. Apparently, although heaven was not kind to her, it was still good to Liang Zhirou…

“This kid may be disobedient, but he’s still very efficient,” Wang Xiaoxia nodded. “Don’t spoil him, just use him as you need to.”

As she spoke, she pulled Liang Zhirou to the edge of the bed and sat down with her. “I really dream of having a daughter as well-behaved as Zhirou. Sister Fang, you wouldn’t believe it, my daughter is so wild she could turn the world upside down. She’s so grown up, but she only knows how to cook instant noodles. Every day, all she does is shout ‘Mom, I’m hungry!’ and ‘Mom, what’s for dinner?'”

“Zhirou, a little girl, cooks better than me who has been cooking for so many years.”

It seems that even children are better in other people’s homes. Wang Xiaoxia could list a whole bunch of Liang Zhirou’s advantages.

But when it came to Chen Lu, it was always: “Oh, this unlucky son.”

Xiao Xunfang listened with a happy smile. Who doesn’t like to hear their child praised?

Liang Zhirou felt embarrassed and kept her head down, not daring to say a word.

Only Chen Lu’s wounded world was complete.

Perhaps because Chen Guanglin had given her a lot of instructions, Wang Xiaoxia didn’t talk about any serious business besides chatting. She didn’t discuss their children’s love or marriage either.

It was purely a visit to see a sick person, not at all like a future in-law meeting.

After about half an hour, Wang Xiaoxia got up and left.

Chen Lu always felt that this was also something his father had instructed, otherwise, with Wang Xiaoxia’s personality, she would have stayed to help.

“I still have some things to do at work, so I’ll be going first,” Wang Xiaoxia said softly, then patted Chen Lu’s head. “This kid is useful, if you need anything, just ask him to do it.”

She reminded him again.

“Mom! If you say it again, I’ll run away from home!” Chen Lu said jokingly, annoyed.

Wang Xiaoxia blinked in surprise, “Is there such a good thing?!”

Xiao Xunfang hadn’t laughed so genuinely for a long time. To be precise, since Liang Zhirou’s father passed away, she had been running around and hadn’t had any friends.

She now felt that this future in-law had the personality of a little girl, which was really interesting.

Even Liang Zhirou couldn’t help but secretly curl her lips at these words.

……

Late at night.

Because he had a lot of things to do early tomorrow morning, Chen Lu simply didn’t go home, it was too much trouble to go back and forth.

There was only one accompanying bed in the hospital room, although it was possible to add another, but Chen Lu was a boy after all, so he simply gritted his teeth and, like other people who came to accompany their loved ones, rented a folding bed and stayed in the corridor.

After chatting with Jiang Chao for a while, Chen Lu closed his eyes and tried to sleep. He was really tired after a day of this.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard the girl’s soft voice.

“Chen Lu.”

“What’s wrong?” He looked up at the girl who was sticking her head out of the ward.

“Are you thirsty?”

“I’m not thirsty.”

After a while.

“Chen Lu, are you hungry?”

Chen Lu was a little speechless, “I’m not hungry.”

“Chen Lu, you…”

Chen Lu couldn’t help it anymore, he hugged her onto the slightly narrow bed and asked with a chuckle, “What do you want to do?”

“I can’t sleep…” Liang Zhirou said softly, “Why don’t you kiss me and see?”

Chen Lu looked around, seeing that there were no nurses on duty and no surveillance cameras, he gently kissed the girl’s lips.

Auntie Xiao was sleeping in the room, he felt a little excited to be doing this under the emperor’s nose.

Liang Zhirou was finally satisfied and left.

Ten minutes later, Chen Lu suddenly opened his eyes.

It’s over.

Now he couldn’t sleep.

He felt like he had been taken advantage of by this silly girl…
