Chapter 145: Chen Lu, I am your Breaker

For elementary school students, summer vacation is always extremely short…

Actually, the same goes for college students.

Who wants to go to school?

It was already the end of August during the Chinese Valentine’s Day, and in the blink of an eye, the first day of school arrived.

At noon, even though it was September, the weather was still hot. The sun hung high in the sky, with no clouds in sight.

Chen Lu had just returned to his rented room when he saw Liang Zhirou drawing. She looked so focused, like a primary school student doing her homework.

He approached her curiously, hugging her from behind, and couldn’t help but act a little mischievous.

Liang Zhirou turned her head and looked at him with a mix of reproach and tenderness, then buried her head back down and continued to draw seriously.

Chen Lu was very pleased. As expected, many permissions that were successfully unlocked once were permanently open. Now he could climb mountains whenever he wanted.

He had to continue working hard in the future.

He stopped there, took the fruit tea he was holding, put a straw in it, and handed it to the girl’s mouth.

“How does it feel to go to school with your bangs cut off? Do you feel like the whole world has been reborn?” Chen Lu asked curiously.

Liang Zhirou pouted and leaned on the table, “It’s been many days since I cut them, I’m used to it. But now I realize that there are so many people in my class who don’t even know my name…”

“You’re joking, here’s a candy for you.”

“I’m not joking, it’s true.”

Liang Zhirou obediently opened her mouth and took the candy. She always felt that with Chen Lu constantly feeding her, she wouldn’t have to worry about low blood sugar for the rest of her life.

He remembered this better than she did.

She didn’t know if she really scared him at that time. Miaomiao had said that when Chen Lu arrived at the hospital, he looked like he had been drained of energy…

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, then thought it was normal. He pinched the girl’s cheek and asked with a smile, “Is reality really that cruel?”

He remembered when he first started junior high school, he went through two days of military training and then went home sick. After recovering for a few days, he went back to school, and everyone in his class thought a new student had arrived.

It was embarrassing and painful.

“I don’t care if they know my name or not,” Liang Zhirou said softly. “But I don’t like them bothering me. When they added me on WeChat, I told them one by one that I have a boyfriend.”

“Isn’t there a way to solve this once and for all?”

Chen Lu looked at the message from the school leadership, asking him to give a speech at the end of the month, and said softly, “Maybe there is. When that time comes, no girls will bother me anymore, and no boys will bother you either.”

It was funny how things worked out. When their studio was first starting out and their funds were a bit tight, the school’s 100,000 yuan in funding never came through. Now that they had made some money, the funding came through immediately, without even having to ask. They even proactively asked him to do promotional activities.

He didn’t know what they were actually funding.

“Why are you drawing all eyes?” Chen Lu stared at the computer screen and asked, “Don’t you learn about the human body first?”

“Miaomiao said my human anatomy is pretty good.”

Liang Zhirou handed Chen Lu the fruit tea he had given her back, “I remember you can draw?”

She had kept the sketch he had given her.

“A little bit,” Chen Lu said nonchalantly.

“How come you know a little bit of everything?”

“Because I’ve learned a little bit of everything.”

Chen Lu couldn’t help but laugh. What a silly question.

“Do you want to eat?” Liang Zhirou asked softly.

“Later, I’ll watch you draw for a while.”

Chen Lu moved a chair from the dining table to sit next to her. He then noticed a book next to the monitor.

“You’re actually reading Three-Body Problem?” He was a little surprised.

“I want to have more common ground with you.”

Liang Zhirou finished speaking, put down her brush, and turned around to look at him “coldly”, “Wallfacer Chen Lu, I am your Breaker. I have seen through your plan.”

“How did you guess?” Chen Lu’s eyes darted unnaturally towards his room.

Liang Zhirou tilted her head and looked at him, “Guess what?”

Chen Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that although he didn’t know why his acting had improved, he was still a simpleton, and he argued, “I’m just going along with you.”

He almost got tricked into using his ultimate move by her simple attack.

Liang Zhirou held Chen Lu’s hand with her left hand, drawing quietly. She now vaguely understood what Chen Lu meant.

She was doing something she loved, and the person she loved most was right beside her.

Relaxing herself, she truly felt how comfortable life could be.

“Chen Lu, quickly say you love me, this is part of the plan,” Liang Zhirou suddenly said.

“Don’t learn so fast!!”

……

After dinner, the two of them spent a little time together before returning to their own rooms. Liang Zhirou had a full schedule in the afternoon.

Chen Lu pressed the air conditioner remote twice, but found that the air conditioner wasn’t working at all. He smirked triumphantly.

Then he walked to the closet and pulled out a slightly thicker blanket.

Squinting at the sun outside, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a child.

As a mature master of boiling frogs, how could he not endure this little hardship?

After making up his mind, Chen Lu gritted his teeth and wrapped himself in a blanket in the middle of summer.

Ten minutes later, sweating profusely, he knocked on the door to his sister’s room.

Liang Zhirou shouldn’t have fallen asleep yet, and she came over soon.

“What are you…”

She stopped mid-sentence, seeing Chen Lu’s near-heatstroke appearance, she was startled and quickly reached out to wipe his sweat.

“The air conditioner in my room is broken,” he said with a pained expression.

“I’m about to get heatstroke, I’ll sleep in your room.”

Liang Zhirou wiped his sweat while gently nodding, “Okay.”

Chen Lu blinked.

??

This easy?!

I still have a bunch of lines to say, and you already agreed?

He didn’t hesitate for a second, he ran back to his room and grabbed his pillow.

“It’s so nice to have air conditioning.”

As soon as Chen Lu lay down, he saw Liang Zhirou holding a pillow and walking to the door.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to sleep in your room,” the girl said blankly, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

“…”

A few minutes later

Chen Lu was lying on the sofa, blowing on the upright air conditioner, looking like he was about to die.

He was defeated.

He lost to her simple innocence, lost to her purity, and felt like he had lost his conscience.

He was like a devil forced to be covered in mud in an evil world, being illuminated by the angel’s holy light, burning with shame and humiliation…

Chen Lu’s calculations were all over the place, but he never expected to be defeated by Liang Zhirou’s overwhelming force.

“I really deserve to die,” he muttered with guilt.

After a long time, Chen Lu, like a salted fish, suddenly rolled over on the sofa.

“No, thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, I must win back!!”
