Chen Lu unconsciously swallowed. "What did you say?"

He could hardly believe it; he had only been busy for a few days, and this simpleton had already learned to add fuel to his own fire.

Liang Zhirou secretly raised her head and glanced at Chen Lu's shocked expression. She immediately felt even more ashamed, her small hands tightly gripping Chen Lu's clothes, unable to utter a single word.

How did she suddenly become such a fool who can't live without kissing and hugging Chen Lu?

She couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. After all, she hadn't seen Chen Lu much during the few days she was preparing for the exam. With a determined look, she closed her eyes and hugged him tightly.

She willingly offered herself to Chen Lu's arms.

Chen Lu, who was already shocked, was completely stunned now.

He didn't expect Liang Zhirou to hug him so proactively.

He doesn't know why, but he remembers every time that simpleton takes the initiative to change his ways very clearly.

Because this silly guy is really hardworking.

Try to love him and try to change for him.

As his thoughts wandered, he slowly embraced the lovely girl in front of him, burying his face in her neck and inhaling her unique fragrance.

Liang Zhirou has a very slender waist, making her very comfortable to hug. With just a gentle pull of the arms, the soft girl will fall directly into one's embrace.

The girl didn't resist, letting Chen Lu hold her tightly, and even gently pecked Chen Lu's cheek.

Then she continued to bury her face in Chen Lu's clothes.

In that instant, all the fatigue she had accumulated from staying up late over the past few days vanished.

Of course, there was also the longing that kept her tossing and turning at night. These past few days, Chen Lu and she had both been busy with their own things, allowing her to truly experience the feeling of missing her boyfriend.

She even wondered if Chen Lu was eating properly while she was eating, but she didn't dare to send a message to ask directly, afraid that Chen Lu was busy and that she would find her too talkative.

Chen Lu suddenly smelled the scent of lychee candy, but he didn't think much of it and began to respond to her seriously, lowering his head to kiss the girl's cheek.

This little guy has really nice skin, so soft and tender, it feels amazing to kiss him.

"Don't leave any hickeys," Liang Zhirou specifically instructed, tilting her neck back to make it less uncomfortable for Chen Lu to kiss her.

"good."

Chen, a master chef who only knows how to cook frogs and a strawberry growing expert, had no choice but to obediently comply with the girl's request.

Some friends are enough, what more could you want?

However, he only temporarily shelved the plan to grow strawberries, without giving up at all, and even secretly made up his mind to leave kiss marks all over this silly guy's body sooner or later.

You have dark circles under your eyes.

After a while, Chen Lu gently cupped the girl's cheeks and said with some heartache.

Liang Zhirou pouted from being flattered, and even her speech became slurred, "You have one too."

His dark circles weren't much lighter than hers; it was obvious he'd been staying up late a lot lately.

Chen Lu widened his eyes with both hands, as if making a funny face, "I specially made this matching set for you, so that when we walk down the street, people will know we're a couple."

The girl couldn't help but smile when she heard this. Of course, she knew Chen Lu was joking, but she couldn't help feeling happy when she heard it.

She's the easiest to please; even something as simple as this can make her happy for a long time.

But despite laughing, she still felt sorry for him.

Although she didn't mean to feel sorry for herself at all, she felt particularly sorry for Chen Lu when she saw his dark circles.

"Try to stay up less late," Liang Zhirou whispered.

Chen Lu continued to rub the girl's face, watching the various funny expressions appear on her cute face. He joked, "There's nothing I can do about it. Money doesn't grow on trees."

"If I don't work hard now, how will I provide you with a good life after we get married?"

He deliberately used a joking tone to avoid letting the girl realize that he was really doing this for her, and to avoid unnecessarily adding to her psychological burden.

I didn't expect that even though I spoke in such a teasing tone, Liang Zhirou still took it to heart.

She held Chen Lu's hands tightly, and said nervously and earnestly, "It's okay, you don't need to pay for Mom's treatment anyway."

"In the future..."

As long as you're by my side, anything is fine. If we can't afford a car, we can ride an electric scooter. You can take me with you every day, and I can hug you from behind.

We can save up for a house slowly, and if things don't work out, we can always move out of Hangzhou. Wherever you want to go, I'll go with you.

The girl counted on her fingers one by one as she carefully calculated.

"I can cook, so we just need money to buy groceries. Besides, I don't have many hobbies, I don't like shopping, and I don't spend much money..."

Liang Zhirou was only halfway through her sentence when Chen Lu pulled her into a tight embrace again.

His lips twitched, his feelings a mix of emotions.

If I weren't under the legal age, I'd love to take this silly boy and get our marriage certificate right now.

I don't know if she'd like it or not.

The more this silly girl said that, the more he wanted to try to make her life better.

How could anyone bear to let a girlfriend like that suffer even the slightest grievance?

Not even a little bit.

The sudden hug startled Liang Zhirou. After regaining her composure, she hugged him back tightly, placing her hands on Chen Lu's back, closing her eyes, and nuzzling her cheek against him. With a soft, blissful voice, she said, "I don't care about anything else, as long as you can always be by my side..."

Feeling Chen Lu's rapid heartbeat, she made up her mind to work harder. What if she really became a rich woman who could support Chen Lu in the future?
