Chapter 140: Want to Eat You Up

“Then what should I learn?” Liang Zhirou asked curiously. She had always thought this major was pretty good, after graduation, she could enter a state-owned enterprise…

At least she wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink, and she wouldn’t have to worry about being broke.

But this was her initial thought. Now she always felt that her life was drifting to another track without her knowing, and it was a one-way trip.

Lin Miaomiao bent down to pick up a drawing pen, tapped it on the monitor, “You definitely won’t come to my drama club, but you can draw with me!”

“Why waste our youth on learning when we can have fun?”

She knew that Liang Zhirou would have more free time than usual after school started, but she never even thought about persuading her to join the drama club.

Because it was simply impossible. Even if this silly girl had nothing to do every day, she wouldn’t join in acting.

Liang Zhirou looked at the little person she drew, which wasn’t ugly but not particularly beautiful either. She quickly lowered her head in embarrassment and said, “Don’t tease me, I can’t draw, my hands are clumsy, I’m definitely not going to learn fast…”

She didn’t say she didn’t like it.

Lin Miaomiao noticed this, gritted her teeth, and flipped through her own black history of learning to draw from her space album.

She had thought countless times about clearing her space, but in the end, she just set it to private.

Black history is also history, it’s still a part of her…

Although it couldn’t be shown to others.

But for Zhirou, this sacrifice was nothing!

She held her phone in front of Liang Zhirou, “Be confident, Zhirou. Look at how badly I drew when I first started learning to draw, it’s not as good as yours.”

Liang Zhirou looked at the four unlike figures, she couldn’t recognize what it was after staring for a long time.

“This is Saber.” Lin Miaomiao seemed to see Liang Zhirou’s confusion and explained helplessly.

Liang Zhirou was stunned. Lin Miaomiao had drawn Saber later, compared to this one, the difference was…

indescribable.

“Pfft!”

She didn’t know what to say, when she heard the girl next to her spit out the water she had just drunk, then she couldn’t stop coughing.

Lin Miaomiao’s face turned completely black, the hand holding the phone was clearly twitching with blue veins.

“Sister Miaomiao, I didn’t see anything, I swear!” The short-haired girl who had quietly come over to watch the fun quickly disassociated herself.

Lin Miaomiao looked at Liang Zhirou expressionlessly and said coldly, “This person wants to take leave this afternoon to watch the premiere, go and tell your man and ask for leave for her.”

She deliberately spoke word by word.

Liang Zhirou nodded lightly, then stood up and walked towards Chen Lu’s office.

After taking a few steps, she heard Lin Miaomiao’s furious voice, “I said that’s your man, why don’t you refute?”

“Oh oh…”

Liang Zhirou turned her head in reaction and said softly, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

The short-haired girl was scared, she quickly wiped her mouth and ran to Liang Zhirou, “I’m not going! No need to tell him, I’ll stay with Sister Miaomiao and teach you how to draw!”

For her, missing the premiere was just a matter of being sad for a few days, but if she didn’t appease Lin Miaomiao, she would really be retaliated against by her.

This person holds grudges, she was punished severely for calling her Lin Liushui before.

……

In the evening, Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou each carried a bag of groceries and walked back to their rented house leisurely.

The sun hung in the sky, stretching their shadows long. The stifling heat of the day finally began to dissipate, leaving only the chirping of cicadas on the quiet street, adding to the sense of leisure.

Liang Zhirou had put a lot of effort into making sure Chen Lu wouldn’t have to rely on takeout. Whenever she wasn’t accompanying Xiao Xunfang for rehabilitation, she would take care of Chen Lu’s meals.

Buying so many groceries at once was also for convenience, so she wouldn’t have to go shopping every time she came over.

Just as Chen Lu was gesturing with his hand, watching his shadow, Liang Zhirou suddenly whispered, “I want to buy a drawing tablet.”

She had secretly looked at them in the afternoon, and they cost around three hundred yuan. If she really wanted to buy one, it would be the most expensive thing she had ever bought for herself.

Chen Lu nodded repeatedly after a moment of hesitation, “Liang Zhirou, you’re so smart. Your teacher Chen is very pleased.”

He had only just told her about the importance of having a hobby, and she was already looking into it.

This was a sensible and promising girl, good, good, a promising student.

“But how did you come to think of drawing?”

Liang Zhirou leaned a little closer to Chen Lu, merging their shadows together, and whispered, “Because when I draw, it feels very peaceful, like my whole being is following the tip of the pen.”

She couldn’t describe the feeling either. Every afternoon when she rested, she felt like time flew by in the blink of an eye, and her mood was exceptionally calm.

After finishing a character, she felt even happier knowing she had drawn it herself.

The girl finished speaking and glanced sideways at Chen Lu, watching the gentle smile on his face, thinking how strange this person was.

The men in her hometown all wished their wives would stay home, not venturing beyond the house, only doing laundry, cooking, and taking care of the children. But Chen Lu always wanted her to find other interests, to push him aside a little.

“Aren’t you afraid that one day I’ll become very independent, and then suddenly want to leave you?” she couldn’t help but ask.

“I’m very afraid,” Chen Lu said seriously.

“Then why…”

“Before you were my girlfriend, you were Liang Zhirou.”

Liang Zhirou chuckled and leaned her whole body against Chen Lu, “I’m your girlfriend, Liang Zhirou.”

Chen Lu patiently supported her as she walked, responding to the girl’s playful nature, “We should both strive to improve ourselves in the same direction. Imagine, if you were well-read and eloquent, and I just knew how to grin like a fool all day, would we even have anything in common?

You say you read Lu Yao’s “Ordinary World” today, and I say it’s not as fun as watching crickets fight…”

Liang Zhirou couldn’t help but smile at Chen Lu’s words. Even though she hadn’t fully grasped his thoughts, she knew that his affection for her was far deeper than she had imagined.

He was truly thinking about how the two of them could stay together forever.

She wanted to be someone who could keep up with Chen Lu’s thoughts, not someone who only saw Chen Lu.

When he told her the moonlight was beautiful, she knew how to say the wind was gentle too.

She didn’t know why, but she suddenly reached out and drew half a heart towards Chen Lu’s shadow.

Before she could speak, the half heart in the shadow became whole.

They were so in sync.

The girl’s smile became even brighter, and she suddenly understood Chen Lu’s meaning. She linked her arm with his and asked softly, “What do you want for dinner?”

“I want to eat you.”

“…That can wait for later.”

“Then let’s have sweet and sour pork ribs.”
