Chapter 153: Let’s Sleep Together When You’re Free

Subjectively speaking, time has never moved forward at a constant pace. When you’re happy, it flies by like a fleeting shadow, but when you’re sad, it feels like an eternity.

The two of them were busy with their own things, mostly in silence, only chatting occasionally. Then, one person would become engrossed in their work and the conversation would drop, only to resume as if nothing had happened.

In the blink of an eye, it was already three in the afternoon.

“I’ve become lazy.”

Liang Zhirou suddenly said.

Chen Lu frowned, thinking, “You call that lazy? What am I then?” “Where have you become lazy? I don’t see it.”

He said this while focusing on taking pictures of Liang Zhirou, who was drawing on her digital tablet.

The girl in the viewfinder had her long hair loose, her eyes fixed on the computer screen, looking peaceful and serene.

Chen Lu couldn’t figure out why this silly girl looked so good in every photo, as if she had descended from heaven to be his wife.

She only lost her charm when she spoke. At first glance, she was ethereal and beautiful, almost otherworldly, but once she opened her mouth, her silly nature was instantly revealed.

Liang Zhirou rested her chin on her hands, pouting at him, “I just feel a little more relaxed.”

Chen Lu shrugged, “Everyone is lazy. Before I started my company, I was obsessed with earning just a few tens of thousands a month, and I was willing to work myself to death. Now I earn millions, but I still don’t want to work.”

“Why?” Liang Zhirou found it strange.

“Because I’m currently thinking that I only need to earn tens of millions before I can work myself to death again.”

“…”

Liang Zhirou was speechless. Chen Lu had already proven with his actions that this kind of thinking wasn’t unique to her.

Her gaze remained fixed on Chen Lu’s delicate features, still feeling a little lost.

The strings that had been taut for ten years suddenly loosened, and she didn’t know how to live anymore.

She had to thank all the kind people who had donated for her, otherwise she wouldn’t have had the chance to think about this problem…

Chen Lu glanced at his finger, feeling a little awkward. He stretched out his index finger and asked quietly, “Do you want to eat anymore?”

Liang Zhirou’s cheeks instantly flushed red, and she looked at him with rapid breathing, “I told you to forget it!”

She regretted it so much. Couldn’t this guy pretend nothing happened?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She really wanted to stand up and bang her head against him.

Then she thought about her previous thought, which seemed a bit like a scumbag’s behavior, and she felt a little embarrassed. She simply lay on the table and pretended to be an ostrich.

“Then how about we switch? Let me eat yours?” Chen Lu continued to ask.

“Wrong! Don’t bump into me, it hurts! Don’t hit my kidneys!”

…

After Chen Lu wailed for a while, he lay lazily on the sofa. Liang Zhirou, like a cat, lay on top of him, her cheek resting on his chest, listening quietly to his heartbeat.

“I like this kind of life.” Liang Zhirou said with her eyes closed. Perhaps she was tired from drawing, her voice sounded a little weary.

This silly girl was always so serious, unlike others who just learned for fun.

But after discovering that she truly enjoyed it, Chen Lu didn’t say anything more.

Chen Lu’s hand brushed through the girl’s hair, finally resting on her waist, “I like it too.”

He looked at the girl lying on top of him, thoughtfully, “It’s only been half a year, and you’ve changed so much.”

She used to be a pure, silly girl who only knew how to move when he applied medicine to her. Now she could even flirt with him.

But Liang Zhirou’s essence hadn’t changed. She had always just looked soft and weak, but she was actually stronger and braver than anyone.

He always thought that if the same thing happened to him, he could endure it, but he wouldn’t be able to maintain his original heart, and he wouldn’t be so kind.

As for feelings, when he took fifty steps towards her… he looked up and found that Liang Zhirou had already run towards him.

There was no such thing as one person taking ninety-nine steps while the other took one step or no steps at all. At least, not between them.

“Which version of me do you like?” Liang Zhirou also felt that she had changed a lot.

Actually, many changes are hard for the person involved to notice, but she knew very well that she was becoming happier day by day.

“I like you at any time.”

As soon as Chen Lu finished speaking, he saw Liang Zhirou tilting her head to look at him, “Why are you being so serious while your hands are still not behaving?”

She regretted buying this kind of open-front pajamas. It was a little too convenient for Chen Lu to be a rascal. She now seriously suspected that this was a trap Chen Lu had dug beforehand.

After all, this guy was a scoundrel, so it wouldn’t be strange for him to lay an ambush ten days and half a month in advance.

“You won’t even let me think about it?” Chen Lu said without changing his expression, continuing to try to climb to the peak.

Liang Zhirou bit him lightly, but didn’t stop him. After all, she was lying down.

She couldn’t understand, “In the end, won’t you be the one suffering?”

Thanks to having a theoretical mentor who usually drove at a low altitude, she couldn’t help but know a lot of things.

“I’m in pain but happy.”

Hearing Chen Lu’s shameless defense, Liang Zhirou didn’t say anything more. She closed her eyes and rubbed her cheek against his.

If it’s just thinking about it, then think about it. She felt that Chen Lu was also working hard.

Chen Lu had never urged her to make any changes. It was always after she accepted them that Chen Lu would take a step further.

He hadn’t even tried to test her on things she wasn’t willing to do.

Thinking about this, she lowered her head again, hiding the slight curve of her lips.

Gradually enveloped by a sense of comfort and peace, she also focused all her attention on Chen Lu’s heartbeat.

After a while, Chen Lu noticed that Liang Zhirou’s breathing was becoming more and more steady. He gently tapped her head with his hand.

She was actually asleep.

Chen Lu snorted inwardly, I’m being a rascal, and you can still sleep?

No sense of vigilance at all.

Don’t you worry about waking up and being eaten alive?

He couldn’t help but smile, smelling the girl’s fragrant hair, he hugged the girl in his arms a little tighter.

Unconsciously, he also slowly closed his eyes.

When he woke up again, Liang Zhirou was already sitting beside him, gently shaking his arm.

“There’s a call.”

The girl said softly.

Chen Lu yawned, feeling a little numb in his arm. He picked up his phone and looked at the time. It was already past six in the afternoon.

He saw that it was Jiang Chao calling. He answered the phone and said, “You better have something important to say, for disturbing your father’s sleep.”

Finally got to sleep with this silly guy, and it was interrupted like this?

You rebellious son!

A somewhat serious voice came from the other end of the phone, “Actually, there is. Are you at your rental house? I’ll go find you and tell you in person.”

Chen Lu was stunned.

“Then come over.”
