"Old neighborhoods are amazing; you can still hear frogs croaking here."

As Chen Lu spoke, he stood up and groped his way to the bathroom in the dark.

Liang Zhirou sat there blankly for a while, then saw Chen Lu bring over a basin of water.

"Stop spilling..." The girl didn't understand what he was trying to do, but she still whispered a reminder, "Should I turn on the light?"

"If you want me to keep looking at your legs, then open them."

Upon hearing Chen Lu's words, the girl who had just stood up immediately sat down again and pulled her T-shirt down a bit.

As a result, she discovered a very serious problem—

Should I show my neck or my thighs...?

Just as she hesitated, Chen Lu had already brought the basin of water to her and gently placed it on the coffee table.

"Put your hand in," Chen Lu said softly, testing the water temperature with his hand.

"ah?"

"Oh, what? I heard that soaking your hands in this water for a while will help reduce the calluses on your hands."

Looking at the somewhat blurry face in the darkness, Liang Zhirou couldn't help but feel moved. She then leaned forward and obediently placed her hands inside.

The water temperature wasn't too hot, it was just right.

She didn't know when it started, but a sense of peace that she had never felt before gradually arose in her heart.

It's as if I don't need to worry about anything, which is quite amazing.

Is this what it feels like to be cared about by others?

“Your case might be quite serious; you’ll need to soak it for a while,” Chen Lu muttered to himself. “It should work, right? That’s how I got rid of the calluses on my hands when I was practicing guitar.”

Before he could finish speaking, Liang Zhirou stretched out her hands and pulled his hands into the water like an octopus.

The girl looked up at him and smiled, a rare display of playfulness.

"I don't need to soak it," Chen Lu said with a smile.

Liang Zhirou gripped her hands tighter. "That way I can soak them longer. Otherwise, my hands will feel too lonely in there."

"What a silly goose."

As Chen Lu said this, his body had already given up struggling. The two of them scratched each other in the water, their fingers intertwined from time to time. The water in the basin made a constant splashing sound.

"Let's take a bath together sometime."

Liang Zhirou snorted softly, "No way."

Chen Lu cleared his throat and said casually, "Just kidding. There's no bathtub at home."

After saying that, he suddenly raised his head again, "Then when I buy a house with a bathtub, would you be willing to come with me?"

Liang Zhirou: ? ?

Do all guys turn into hooligans after they start dating?

......

"Are you busy tomorrow?" After a while, Chen Lu poured out the water, returned to the sofa, hugged the girl tightly, and asked softly.

No.

Liang Zhirou sighed unconsciously. She didn't know why, but the thought of having nothing to do made her feel a little insecure.

I kept telling myself that things would get better once my mother's surgery was over.

Not only that, but there was also a feeling of great confusion, as if I had suddenly lost my purpose in life.

She now understood what Chen Lu meant when he told her that she had never lived for herself.

Chen Lu nodded slightly and placed the laptop on his lap. "Would you like to watch another movie?"

Liang Zhirou fought off her drowsiness and looked up at him. "What are you looking at?"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly saw a row of horror movies on the computer screen...

This person was definitely up to no good!

"You just want to trick me into sleeping in your room," the girl said with a knowing look in her eyes.

"When I'm so scared I can't sleep, you'll pretend nothing happened and go straight back to your room, then wait for me to come to you..."

"So you can bully me all you want."

Chen Lu deliberately made an exaggerated expression, looking at her with a shocked expression, "You saw through that?"

But isn't this idiot thinking about the plot a little too meticulously?

Liang Zhirou proudly raised her chin and said, "Hmph, I'm so smart. I sleep with the lights on."

"If I secretly cut off the power at night, how would you deal with it?" Chen Lu continued.

“...I will call the police.” Liang Zhirou suddenly realized that Chen Lu was behaving more obediently tonight, which made her feel much more at ease, but he was being a bit more lewd in his words than usual.

Is it inversely proportional?

"Then you won't see me for a very, very long time."

The girl's previous confidence vanished instantly. "Then let's forget about it..."

Chen Lu smirked smugly and slowly closed the laptop, clearly having been joking with her from the start.

Ha, surely he can handle a simple-minded frog?

Chen Lu was very happy to find that Liang Zhirou was talking much more than when they first met.

Now we can almost go toe-to-toe with each other.

Even though I was giving in to her.

Chen Lu hugged the girl in his arms tighter, looked up at the ceiling, and said softly, "Find some hobbies, Liang Zhirou."

"Do I really have to have a hobby?" the girl wondered.

"Of course, I mean it when I say I want you to learn to enjoy life."

Liang Zhirou tapped her chin with her index finger, as if seriously considering, "Is working hard to make money a hobby?"

"Definitely not," Chen Lu said, speechless. "Why do you treat this as a hobby?"

The girl buried her face in Chen Lu's chest, hugging his waist tightly, "Because I don't want you to have to suffer like this in the future~"

Liang Zhirou said softly, then reached out and touched Chen Lu's cheek, "You have dark circles under your eyes..."
