Chapter 81: I Have a Position for You at My Company

Chen Lu snorted coldly, “I knew you wouldn’t have eaten.”

“How did you guess?” Liang Zhirou looked up at him, her bright eyes filled with confusion.

“It’s simple.”

Chen Lu’s serious expression suddenly vanished. “Because you’re stupid. Stupid people wouldn’t eat.”

“I’m not stupid…”

The girl pouted, feeling wronged. She thought it was some kind of brilliant deduction.

But it turned out he was just calling her stupid.

Too much.

I’m clearly very smart. I bought all the things you like to eat. Only a fool would forget that.

As she thought about it, she sat back in her chair, leaning back and bumping her head against Chen Lu’s.

Then she remembered there were others present and quickly lowered her head.

“Ouch, Liang Zhirou, you’re like a bull!” Chen Lu said, clutching his chest. That bump almost gave him internal injuries.

“Wait until I’m done, and I’ll show you what I can do.”

Liang Zhirou lowered her head even further, gently twisting her left index finger. “I… I’m sorry…”

Chen Lu chuckled. “Seeing as you’re so sincere, I’ll reluctantly forgive you. Open your mouth and eat the candy.”

“It’s a good thing I have a girlfriend.”

Jiang Chao muttered under his breath, thinking that if the other two guys in their dorm were here, they would be green with envy.

Then Liang Zhirou suddenly remembered something and quickly pulled out three bottles of soda from her canvas bag, handing one to each of them.

“Thanks.” Liu Yan and Jiang Chao didn’t hesitate to accept them, thanking her.

“I told you to buy me a bottle of Coke, why did you buy soda? And so much of it?” Chen Lu blinked, completely unaware that these were all specifically for him, bought by Liang Zhirou out of concern that he wouldn’t have anything to drink in the afternoon.

Liang Zhirou remembered that Chen Lu didn’t like plain water, so she bought him soda.

“It’s a good thing I bought extra, now it’s just right.” The girl’s lips curved into a satisfied smile, like a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder seeing all the Tetris blocks disappear.

Liu Yan found it strange and regretted drinking so quickly. “Isn’t there one missing for you?”

The weather was hot and humid, and walking a few steps outside felt like being steamed dry.

“It’s fine if I’m missing one.” Liang Zhirou said nonchalantly, while also twisting the cap off the bottle for Chen Lu.

Just when Jiang Chao and Liu Yan were still shocked, the girl said gently:

“You have a stomach ache, so don’t drink Coke for the next two days, okay?”

“It only hurts for a moment, it’s fine.”

Chen Lu said halfway through, seeing the girl’s eyes misting over, wanting to be angry but unable to, his heart melted instantly, and he quickly changed his words: “But soda is good, I’m tired of Coke anyway, it’s just sugary fizzy water, who drinks that stuff?”

“Let’s find a place to grab a bite to eat.” Liu Yan got up and patted Jiang Chao on the back.

“Let’s go.”

Jiang Chao nodded to Chen Lu and turned to follow Liu Yan.

As Liang Zhirou stared blankly at their backs, Chen Lu waved the soda in front of her.

“Drink some water, look at your dry lips.”

The girl shook her head. “What if I drink yours?”

“I don’t mind.” Chen Lu said matter-of-factly. “Our lives are tough, let’s just make do and drink from the same bottle.”

“That’s not okay.”

“You’re such a stubborn little cow.” Chen Lu poked her cheek with his index finger, making the girl unconsciously close one eye. “I’ll just avoid the mouth of the bottle when I drink later.”

“Alright.”

Liang Zhirou challenged Chen Lu’s words for five seconds, not believing him.

……

On the other side.

Chen Lu was pulling Liang Zhirou to eat under the shade of an umbrella, occasionally feeding this silly cow.

To be honest, being with Jiang Chao felt like being in prison, with the added torture of the heat. But with Liang Zhirou, he didn’t feel that way.

“Can I stay here this afternoon?”

Liang Zhirou swallowed the steamed shrimp, asking cautiously. She wanted to see what Chen Lu was doing today.

Most importantly, she wanted to see Chen Lu…

Unbeknownst to her, she had become the kind of fool who missed seeing Chen Lu every few hours.

“Don’t you have classes this afternoon?”

“No, I have nothing to do except review in the afternoon.”

Chen Lu thought for a moment, continuing to peel the shrimp, deliberately clearing his throat. “It depends on your performance.”

“Ah~”

Liang Zhirou opened her mouth slightly, very obediently.

Chen Lu couldn’t help but laugh twice, feeding the shrimp to the girl. “You’re very perceptive.”

“Can I?”

“You can stay as long as you don’t mind the heat.” Chen Lu said helplessly. “You don’t have to work part-time today, you might as well go home and sleep.”

“It’s okay, I’ll just sit here quietly and read English, I won’t disturb you.” The girl explained anxiously, as if afraid that Chen Lu would persuade her to go back.

“Maybe you’ll be considered the boss’s wife.”

Liang Zhirou lowered her head, turned her face slightly, and said softly: “You’re talking nonsense again…”

She always felt that Chen Lu was deliberately teasing her lately, making her blush and her heart race.

He’s so bad.

“I’m telling the truth.” Chen Lu took a big gulp of water. After he forcibly took a sip, the girl couldn’t argue about indirect kissing anymore. “By the way, I arranged a position for you at the company.”

“What position?” Liang Zhirou bit her lip, feeling very nervous, mentally calculating how to refuse. It was fine for Chen Lu to ask her for help, but she would never accept a salary.

Just when the girl was torn between heaven and earth, Chen Lu said calmly:

“Boss’s wife.”
