The rain was ridiculously heavy; you'd be soaked to the bone just by taking a taxi.

"I'll ask Jiang Chao to bring my car back," Chen Lu said, dialing the number.

The call was answered very quickly.

"Hurry up and bring my car back, I need to take Liang Zhirou home." He urged hurriedly, "It's so late."

“Okay, wait a minute… Damn! It’s raining so hard?!” Jiang Chao paused. “My aunt’s mother-in-law’s nephew’s aunt’s nephew got into a car accident. I have to go to the hospital to check on him. I really don’t have time to take your car back.”

"...Do you even know what your relationship is with that person?" Chen Lu said coldly.

"My phone's almost out of gas, I have to hang up now. Sorry buddy! I'll definitely return the car by tomorrow at the latest!"

Jiang Chao hung up the phone after he finished speaking, and then he could no longer get through.

It seems that his comment about how late it was caused ambiguity, and from then on, the two of them were no longer on the same wavelength.

Dead Sea King, thank you and your whole family.

Chen Lu thought to himself.

While considering whether to call Chen Guanglin over, he took two bottles of drinks out of the refrigerator.

No, I can't shout. Even if the truth is that I'm acting like a gentleman and taking Liang Zhirou home, his wolfish ambition of renting a two-bedroom apartment will be exposed.

Chen Lu gulped down two big mouthfuls, feeling much more refreshed; it had to be ice-cold cola.

"Do you want some?" he asked the girl.

"I...I haven't gotten my period yet." Liang Zhirou hugged her knees, her fingers tightly intertwined, and whispered, "But it's too early now...please don't."

? ?

Chen Lu tilted his head, feeling a ring of question marks appear around his head.

He then realized what was happening and quickly shouted:

"I swear I didn't mean that! Who taught you all this nonsense?"

"Miaomiao said that when you hand me ice water, you must say, 'I can't drink cold things, I'm on my period,' otherwise you'll take me to a hotel..."

"......"

Chen Lu had never been so wronged in his life. How could Lin Miaomiao, who had never been in a relationship, know more about the theory than anyone else?

Where did you learn all of that?

"But you didn't say it the way she taught you," he asked curiously.

Liang Zhirou seemed genuinely frightened, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at him, but her voice trembled as she said, "Because I don't want to lie to you..."
