Chapter 139: A Man Dies for His Friend

“You didn’t say that when you kissed me.”

The girl said with a hint of grievance.

Chen Lu laughed and ruffled her hair, “You silly goose, I was just kidding.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a headbutt.

Liang Zhirou walked over with a look of regret and rubbed Chen Lu’s stomach, “Do you think you’ll scare Miaomiao when she sees you this afternoon?”

“She’ll definitely say, ‘Zhirou! You’re crazy! What were you thinking?'”

Chen Lu continued in a teasing tone, “Then she’ll say, ‘Speaking of which, how can you be so beautiful?'”

He felt that Lin Miaomiao would be both happy and surprised, he was sure of it.

Liang Zhirou nodded, staring blankly at her reflection in the mirror, feeling strangely unfamiliar.

Even though she had always known she looked like this, it felt like she was seeing herself for the first time.

She straightened her back again, forcing a smile that was somewhat standard.

It was a bit stiff, but it was better than when she couldn’t smile at all. Back then, she had scared Chen Lu with her forced smile.

Liang Zhirou’s gaze gradually hardened, her eyes showing a newfound confidence and cheerfulness.

Let the past be the past…she had to live up to Chen Lu’s efforts.

“Hello, Liang Zhirou.”

She said to herself in her heart.

……

In the afternoon, at the studio.

As soon as the two walked into the company, whispers erupted around them.

“Damn, our boss is a scumbag. He got rich and immediately changed girlfriends.”

“What are you talking about, she’s still the boss’s wife?”

“Let me put on my glasses and take a look.”

“Damn, is the bug fix done yet?”

…

“Is that Zhirou? It’s Zhirou, right? She’s so beautiful!”

“I feel like she and Lu have more of a husband-and-wife vibe…”

“I’m going to die from shipping them!”

The programming and art teams had slightly different reactions.

“Gossiping about the boss will result in a pay cut.”

Chen Lu said softly, then walked into his office, he had things to do.

Lin Miaomiao had been stunned since she saw Liang Zhirou, she was clearly the most shocked.

“Sister Xiao, am I dreaming?” Lin Miaomiao asked in a daze.

“……Probably not, unless we’re both dreaming together.” The short-haired girl beside her turned her pen, her gaze still fixed on Liang Zhirou, who was hesitating about where to go, “The boss’s wife has beautiful eyes.”

Actually, she was too far away to see her eyes clearly, but after Liang Zhirou got a new haircut, her aura had improved significantly.

She had been too gloomy before.

After watching for a few seconds, she lay back in her chair, “Ah, I want to go see the premiere later…but I’m too scared to ask for leave.”

Lin Miaomiao looked at her with disdain, thinking that asking for leave wasn’t something you just said, “If you’re really scared to say it, just ask her.”

She pointed to Liang Zhirou, who was filling her cup at the water dispenser.

The short-haired girl, who had been a lazy fish just now, suddenly became energetic, “Ask the boss’s wife? Will it work?”

Lin Miaomiao snorted, “Of course it will work, Chen Lu’s user manual is in her hands.”

Then she smirked, “If you get any gifts, you have to give me some, I can’t teach you for free.”

“No problem!”

At this time, Liang Zhirou carefully placed the paper cup on her desk, then sat down next to Lin Miaomiao.

The short-haired girl was stunned, Liang Zhirou seemed to have refilled water for several people.

She had been chatting the whole time and hadn’t noticed that her disposable paper cup was taken away.

The boss’s wife refilled it for her…

She looked at the full glass of water in front of her, unconsciously swallowing, her heart melting.

Suddenly, she understood why so many people in ancient times were willing to die for their lord.

If Liang Zhirou had timidly asked her to work overtime, she would have worked till death.

Mom, I’m making progress, my boss even poured me water.

……

Lin Miaomiao didn’t bother the short-haired girl who was standing there in a daze, she turned around and interrogated Liang Zhirou with a shocked expression.

She exclaimed, “Zhirou! Are you crazy? What were you thinking?”

She used to be afraid to even part her bangs, how come she just cut them off?

What happened?!

Honestly, she was really not used to seeing Liang Zhirou like this.

After all, since she knew Liang Zhirou, her bangs had always been long.

“I didn’t think much about it…” Liang Zhirou said honestly, “I just felt like I should cut it, so I did.”

Lin Miaomiao blinked and sat back down, leaning in close, “How can you be so pretty?”

Liang Zhirou slightly opened her mouth, her eyebrows twitching.

It’s exactly like what Chen Lu guessed…

“Are you even prettier now? I think Chen Lu would like it.” She lowered her head, saying proudly.

Lin Miaomiao, who had been leaning in close, suddenly sat back in her own seat and snorted, “I don’t love you anymore.”

These two people were constantly feeding her dog food, neither of them was a good person.

Is this person only thinking about her boyfriend?!

“Don’t be like that.”

Liang Zhirou timidly took Lin Miaomiao’s hand and whispered.

Lin Miaomiao was unconvinced and continued to joke with her, “If Chen Lu and I fell into the river, who would you save first? You can only save one!”

“Save you.” Liang Zhirou answered without hesitation.

Lin Miaomiao was very excited, her canine teeth biting her lips, her eyes watery as she looked at her.

“Zhirou, you’re so good! I knew you still loved me!”

How could a mere man affect their friendship?

Liang Zhirou tilted her head curiously, looking at Lin Miaomiao, who was looking at her with a moved expression, not knowing what to say.

Chen Lu can swim…

He doesn’t need me to save him.

I can’t swim either…

As she thought about it, she suddenly felt that this question didn’t make much sense.

Liang Zhirou shifted her gaze to Lin Miaomiao’s computer screen, looking at the cartoon character that hadn’t been colored yet, she felt it was getting cuter and cuter the more she looked at it.

Lin Miaomiao noticed her gaze and patiently explained, “This is the early character design, it hasn’t been finalized yet.”

“I usually draw several versions to find inspiration, and then choose the one I like the most.”

She sighed deeply again, “I always feel like this pose isn’t dynamic enough, it’s supposed to be a quirky character, but I can’t draw it.”

“What is this?” Liang Zhirou pointed at the black board next to Lin Miaomiao’s keyboard and asked.

“You’ve seen it before, right? This is a digital tablet. The one in my dorm is smaller, this one is more professional. They’re basically the same thing.”

Lin Miaomiao suddenly got excited, since she was just goofing off anyway, she simply pulled Liang Zhirou over to her side, “This thing is amazing, I’ll teach you…”

After a long time.

Liang Zhirou looked at the character Lin Miaomiao drew, she drew a slightly ugly version clumsily.

Because it was a draft, Lin Miaomiao didn’t take it seriously, but Liang Zhirou was able to draw it almost perfectly, which means she’s still good at drawing.

Lin Miaomiao looked at the character Liang Zhirou drew, she was stunned there in a daze. She didn’t know how many times she had been stunned in a daze in this short period of time.

If she had inspiration, she might have thought of this movement. That’s what original art is all about, how to use static images to clearly show more information, it’s a very deep art.

Although it wasn’t original, but the reason why the Flying Horse of Gansu is so famous is also related to this. Because you can tell at a glance that it must be very fast.

Lin Miaomiao didn’t notice that the brush in her hand had fallen to the ground, she muttered, “Zhirou, you’re really underqualified to be an accountant…”
