I used half my life to gain this great enlightenment. If I were to look back even once, I would deserve to die," Chen Lu said to himself after waking up.
He and Mo Yuqing had known each o...
Hello, senior!
The girl had a lively and cute voice, but Chen Lu didn't recognize her at all because of her cosplay outfit.
"Who are you?" Chen Lu asked.
“…..I am Lin Miaomiao.”
Chen Lu took a few steps back and looked at the parasol in front of him before realizing that this was the drama club's meeting point.
So he sat down on the white plastic chair under the umbrella, searching for someone's figure.
Liang Zhirou said she would help last night, so she should be here too.
He was a little embarrassed that he didn't recognize the person, but he quickly came up with a brilliant idea.
"I know, who are you cosplaying as?"
"Ayaka Kamisato, does it look good? My cosplay outfit just arrived today, so I decided to wear it out for fun." Lin Miaomiao took a selfie, flashing her signature canine teeth and making a peace sign.
"Mmm, it looks good."
While praising her, Chen Lu's eyes were actually fixed on the girl working diligently in the distance.
Liang Zhirou, with her long ponytail, was diligently helping to set up various props for the performance, occasionally wiping the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.
Lin Miaomiao noticed it too, and pouted, both angry and amused, without saying anything more.
She knew that although her chest was somewhat flat and her figure was a bit too "youthful and energetic," her appearance was not bad.
But who can blame her when Liang Zhirou is so good-looking!
Chen Lu sat in the chair and watched, intending to see when the silly Liang Zhirou would notice him.
Then, just like that night when I saw "typing...", ten minutes passed and I still couldn't get what I wanted.
Everyone else is taking a break, why don't you slack off a bit!
Are you stupid?! You came here to help!
Are you born in the Year of the Ox?!
Liang Zhirou didn't chat with the people around her; she just kept her head down and helped with the setup.
With all the moving tables and various fake sets made of foam, I really don't know what this drama club is trying to do.
Chen Lu was extremely anxious and regretted not going up to help from the beginning.
"You're from the drama club, right? Liang Zhirou must be here to help out, so why are you slacking off here?" Chen Lu asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm not feeling well," Lin Miaomiao smiled gently and didn't say anything more.
He casually changed the subject: "Speaking of which, are you here to see Liang Zhirou? How did you know she was here?"
Chen Lu shook his head. "Huh? I don't know. I came to help, but Li Sinian couldn't come because of something."
After saying that, he cleared his throat again, "What's the problem on your end?"
Lin Miaomiao felt like killing someone.
Help...?
So you sat there for ages while I stood there?!
Are you polite?
Are you even human?
"Senior, you came to help but you're just sitting there? I thought you were just here to have fun!"
"You're sitting in my seat!" Lin Miaomiao angrily confronted Chen Lu, her canine teeth clearly visible.
"Oh dear, don't you have Liang Zhirou to help you?"
Chen Lu said half-jokingly.
"She's so good to you. She's so busy with her part-time job, but she still finds time to help you."
If it were the naive Liang Zhirou, she definitely wouldn't have understood the meaning behind Chen Lu's words, but Lin Miaomiao is different.
Lin Miaomiao immediately understood. For some reason, instead of being upset by the sarcastic remark, a smile appeared on her face. "I'll treat her to a big meal after this! To improve our meals."
She then looked at the busy figure and said, "Although it's all work, this kind of environment is different from part-time jobs. This is also a kind of relaxation."
Chen Lu nodded slightly and said no more.
If you were to invite Liang Zhirou to dinner for no reason, she probably wouldn't agree.
Lin Miaomiao is really a quirky and clever person.
"She's pitiful, but very strong." Lin Miaomiao's smile suddenly vanished.
Her tone, which had been cheerful, suddenly turned serious.
It's like he's become a completely different person.
"Senior, you're so mean! That senior named Mo Yuqing and Liang Zhirou are probably the two prettiest girls in our school."
Chen Lu's brow twitched, and he smiled bitterly to himself.
You know a lot.
"When I first went to help, I didn't even get a good look at what she looked like," Chen Lu said honestly.
“She shouldn’t be this beautiful.” Lin Miaomiao made a camera shape with her hands and framed Liang Zhirou’s figure in it. “She is very fragile, and anyone could easily hurt her, so I don’t want any random people to enter her life.”
Her choice to keep a low profile was absolutely right. This was a secret that not many people knew, but you found out…”
Then she smiled and looked at Chen Lu, "Luckily, senior seems to be a good person."
"What do you mean by 'seems like'?" Chen Lu muttered, having already formed a rough judgment about Lin Miaomiao.
It seems he treats Liang Zhirou well.
"If you're only nice to her because you're attracted to her, then you're not a good person." Lin Miaomiao poked him again with her fan. "Tell me! Why are you so nice to our Liang Zhirou!"
"Because she's the only girl who's willing to wait for me." When Lin Miaomiao pretended to be joking, Chen Lu, who was also joking, became serious.
"And she even gave me candy."
Seeing Liang Zhirou finally walking towards them, Lin Miaomiao's mood inexplicably became somewhat depressed. She lowered her head and muttered, "I hope you do better than me. We are one of her few friends, and it's probably hard for anyone else to get into her heart."
After Liang Zhirou approached, Lin Miaomiao quickly changed the subject, "Do you want to come and help her? I'll treat you two to dinner later."
Chen Lu blinked. "Can I eat if you don't help? I have a bad stomach, so I'm better suited to being a kept man."
