Chapter 55: Turn-Based Game

Chen Lu looked at Liang Zhirou’s profile and the long hair scattered behind her, staring at her blankly, then he smiled blankly.

Like an idiot.

But he quickly realized something was wrong and frowned in thought.

Why did he suddenly feel like he was in a turn-based game?

What’s with this silly girl suddenly hitting me with a critical strike?

But she was also blushing, so this round I guess I win?

I’m not blushing.

I can’t be in a daze anymore, if this silly girl sees me, I’ll be embarrassed.

“Good, good,” Chen Lu was very satisfied, “You eat quickly, I’ll reward you with another one later.”

He savored the soft, sweet touch, shamelessly saying.

“No, no!” Liang Zhirou was so embarrassed by his words that her voice trembled.

“You’re tricking me again…” she complained, this Chen Lu always bullied her with both soft and hard tactics, deceiving and cheating…

She clearly kept thinking about not feeding her just now, but he said “be careful, Lin Miaomiao might catch you,” and she was so scared that she couldn’t think about anything else.

He even deliberately mentioned beforehand that no one could see.

So bad.

“I only trick you,” Chen Lu smiled at her, “Don’t you like it?”

Liang Zhirou quietly lay down, turning her head to the side where the IV was, burying half of her head in the blanket, ignoring him.

This time, she wouldn’t talk to him for at least a minute.

At least she had to wait for her heartbeat to calm down a bit.

How could he ask that.

You asked that… even if I like it, I can’t tell you!

Chen Lu chuckled softly and handed his phone to the girl, “Let’s have a video call with your mom? Let her feel at ease.”

This silly girl is reluctant to use data, she probably doesn’t even have a plan.

It seems like I’m at a disadvantage.

“Okay.” Liang Zhirou slowly took it, then sat up slightly.

This time, she couldn’t even hold on for ten seconds.

“What’s the password?” the girl asked softly.

Chen Lu looked at her with a calm expression, “Your birthday.”

“Ah?”

Liang Zhirou was stunned for a while before she softly said “oh” and tapped the screen lightly.

Seeing the girl’s silly appearance, the corners of Chen Lu’s mouth also rose.

I still win.

Stable output is the key, occasional critical strikes are useless.

The advantage is mine.

Chen Lu naturally had nothing to do with Liang Zhirou’s video call with Xiao Xunfang, so he silently walked to the window and looked at the azure sky outside.

Hangzhou’s weather is strange, just like a girl’s heart, unpredictable.

Often it’s cloudy in the morning, sunny in the afternoon, and it might even rain heavily at night.

It’s all about being unpredictable.

Chen Lu, who was looking at the sky, naturally didn’t notice the girl secretly glancing at him from time to time.

His back was much more beautiful than the sky outside for the girl.

Liang Zhirou tried to describe her symptoms as lightly as possible to avoid worrying her mother, and the slightly weak look she had just now disappeared completely.

She was too familiar with this, she had been doing this since she was a child.

After about ten minutes, Liang Zhirou hung up the video call and softly called Chen Lu back.

“My mom asked me to thank you…” Liang Zhirou mumbled timidly, she couldn’t figure out how to thank Chen Lu.

She felt like she couldn’t repay the favor.

“I heard, but you can just listen to it casually, anyway, you’re not the kind of person who would thank someone.” Chen Lu said with a straight face.

Liang Zhirou was startled, she was about to be wronged to death, “Why not?”

Chen Lu sighed sadly, “I personally fed you candy just now, and you didn’t thank me. Do you know how tiring it is to peel candy wrappers? My hands are clumsy, and I had to hold back from eating it myself…”

“Well, thank you…” the girl said with a grievance, handing back the phone.

“That’s right.”

See, she still has to thank me.

I don’t know if it’s because Liang Zhirou didn’t listen to him and got herself sick enough to come to the hospital.

Chen Lu now wanted to bully her all the time.

He slowly took the phone and looked at the last message he sent to his tutor.

He hesitated for a while, then called his tutor.

Soon, a crisp voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Didn’t I give you a break? Did something happen?”

Chen Lu cleared his throat, “Well, teacher, in consideration of the hard work I’ve done for you all this time, please approve Liu Yan’s leave.”

“What does her leave have to do with you?” the tutor was very curious.

“It’s like this, she’s not comfortable saying it, tsk… well, I’m not comfortable saying it either. Anyway, it’s a serious problem, just approve it for her. Let her go to the hospital for a check-up.

I’ve worked hard for you for two years, I have no merit but I have hard work, after all, she’s my friend.”

The tutor was really fooled by his ambiguous words, after all, Chen Lu rarely spoke so formally, and he also thought that Chen Lu was efficient and had saved him from a lot of scolding, so he finally agreed.

Although he spoke with reason and emotion, Chen Lu was expressionless throughout the whole process.

He just considered it as a favor to Liu Yan, as for the rest, it had nothing to do with him.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Lu put the phone back in his pocket and adjusted the speed of Liang Zhirou’s IV drip back to normal.

“You haven’t had an IV drip for a long time, have you? If you start so fast, you might get nauseous, you’re probably used to it now.” Chen Lu watched the glucose drip down, speaking softly.

“I’ve had a lot of IV drips since I was a child, I’ve gained experience. When I was in the first or second grade, I even learned to pull out the needle myself, my mom beat me up at that time.”

Liang Zhirou recalled Wang Xiaoxia’s appearance, she couldn’t imagine how a person who looked so gentle would beat Chen Lu up.

She kind of wanted to see…

After a while.

“I’m back!” Lin Miaomiao pushed the door open and shouted loudly.

As soon as she entered, she saw the two of them staring at each other silently, only Chen Lu’s eyes were filled with curiosity, ‘What are you looking at me for?’.

The door was slammed shut with a “bang”.

Two seconds later, it was slowly opened again.

“I’m back.”

Lin Miaomiao carried a bag of snacks and said coldly.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she sat down by the bed and rummaged through her large shopping bag.

“What did you buy?” Chen Lu looked at her in astonishment, he thought she was going camping.

“All kinds of snacks, I bought bread and cookies for Zhirou, and snacks for me to eat while I stay here. After all, I’m going to stay here to take care of her, I can’t let you stay here alone at night, can I? A man and a woman alone.”

Chen Lu thought she was a hamster.

……

Meanwhile.

Liu Yan came to Mo Yuqing’s door and knocked lightly twice.

“Yuqing, it’s me.”

Seeing no response, she knocked a few more times.

“Open the door!”
