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...
It's almost the end of August, and the start of the new school year is just around the corner.
Because he was so busy, Chen Lu felt that the summer vacation had passed in the blink of an eye.
Oh, he no longer has summer vacation.
I suddenly feel like swearing. Humans aren't inherently a hardworking species; even if you start your own business, you still won't want to work a regular job...
The older I get, the more I realize that childhood holidays were the best, since going to school meant looking forward to both winter and summer vacations.
Aside from the homework with the deceptively named "Happy Summer Vacation," I had absolutely no worries.
It's been raining for several days in a row lately, and we've hardly seen the sun.
Chen Lu lazily climbed out of bed and wandered to the bathroom to wash up like a zombie.
The studio hasn't been as busy these past few days, so he's still staying at his rented apartment as usual. It's not that he has any conflicts with his parents; it's just that staying at home for too long makes it easy for them to get into arguments.
The saying "distance makes the heart grow fonder" is really not just a saying, even among family members.
There are some things I learned too late...
Ten minutes later, Chen Lu sat on the sofa, staring at the computer screen, studying the latest progress reports and revenue data.
That's how it is with WeChat mini-games; the company can only get 30% of the profits and still has to depend on Tencent's attitude. It's really frustrating.
When you earn 100,000 but only receive 30,000, you're more likely not to be happy that you earned 30,000, but rather to feel like you lost 70,000.
Chen Lu is thinking this way now, after all, he needs to use 30% of the profits to support the entire company.
If you just want to make a living, this way of getting by is fine, but if you want to expand your business, you have to think about a new path.
Ultimately, we still have to take the proper route of applying for a publishing license.
Although earning tens of thousands of yuan a month seems pretty good these days, people are always greedy. Once a desire is satisfied, a new desire will arise.
He also wanted to give Liang Zhirou a better life, one that was even better than earning tens of thousands a month. If he were alone, he probably would have just wanted to find an easy job to make ends meet, but after being with Liang Zhirou, that thought suddenly vanished without a trace.
"Let's not rush things. Let's make the most of the current benefits first."
Chen Lu muttered to himself, "No matter what you do, the idea of trying to get rich quick is very dangerous. If you can't earn money beyond your understanding, even if you're lucky enough to stumble upon it, you'll eventually lose it all due to a lack of ability."
At least after a while, with some good publicity, they can make a fortune again.
Just as he was thinking this, there was a light knock on the door twice.
He walked curiously to the entrance, slowly opened the door, and saw a long-haired girl in a long dress standing obediently at the door, looking at him with a gentle smile.
If spring breeze and gentleness truly had a shape, it would surely be the shape of a girl's smile.
"Who is the beautiful lady looking for?" Chen Lu asked with a smile.
"You rascal," Liang Zhirou said lightly, and went inside to change her shoes.
Whether it was Chen Lu's home or her rented apartment, there were always slippers prepared especially for her, which touched her deeply.
No one dislikes feeling cared for; it's much more considerate than simply saying, "No need to change your shoes, just come in."
"Then you haven't picked the wrong person, I really am a hooligan." Chen Lu suddenly hugged the girl from behind and said with a wicked smile.
To be honest, he quite liked this position. He could rest his chin on Liang Zhirou's shoulder and then gently kiss her neck.
Liang Zhirou shuddered at his words and struggled symbolically for a moment, saying, "Stop it, I haven't finished changing my shoes yet."
Since there's no way to escape anyway, a little resistance is enough.
"So you can make a scene after changing your shoes?"
"...that won't work either."
After showing off, Chen Lu returned to his serious demeanor, walked to the living room, turned on the air conditioner, and went back to the sofa. However, this time he unusually crossed his legs.
Being too young isn't good either; I just hugged this silly guy from behind, and he already has an air conditioner remote control with him.
Liang Zhirou sat down next to Chen Lu, looking at the computer with a curious expression.
"Weren't you busy helping your aunt with her rehabilitation these past few days? How come you have time to come visit me?" Chen Lu said with a light laugh.
"Because I miss you."
With her eyes closed, Liang Zhirou hugged Chen Lu and said that she had been accompanying Xiao Xunfang to do very low-intensity exercises for the past two days.
By now, Xiao Xunfang can walk a few steps on her own without any support, and even just two steps still moves her to tears.
In Liang Zhirou's eyes, the time she spent apart from Chen Lu was measured in seconds. Two days apart felt like an eternity.
She now understands more and more how tragic the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is, that they can only meet once a year...
No wonder it's highly likely to rain every Qixi Festival; she would cry for a long time if she were in her shoes.
The girl had a feeling that she was happier than the Weaver Girl, and she quietly moved closer to Chen Lu.
As Chen Lu looked at his computer, he stroked the head of the girl in his arms, feeling as if he were raising a cat.
"Isn't Qixi Festival coming soon?" Chen Lu suddenly asked.
Liang Zhirou was startled by him. Could this person read minds?
The girl nodded slightly. "I think so."
Chen Lu wrapped the girl's hair around his fingers again and again. "Then I'll set aside that day, let's go out and have fun for a day."
“Okay,” Liang Zhirou replied happily.
Seeing that the girl was a little more cheerful than before, he felt even more that the money he spent was well worth it. This simpleton was finally free of her shackles and could do whatever she wanted.
