Girls are creatures who love to go to the bathroom during dates.

Chen Lu was getting a little bored, so he took out his DSLR camera and pointed the lens at the whale shark in the distance to get a feel for it.

"This young man is so professional, do you accept photoshoot requests?"

"I'm only taking pictures of my girlfriend, sorry."

He responded calmly, his gaze still fixed on the whale shark in the camera lens.

As the figure that had been beside him just moments before disappeared into the distance, Chen Lu looked at the DSLR camera in his hand and revealed an indescribable expression.

"No wonder so many aquamans like to play this game..."

It seems that boys also need to protect themselves when they're out, especially those carrying DSLR cameras.

Chen Lu glanced around and saw a chubby boy playing on his phone sitting on a bench. Bored, he sat down next to him.

As soon as I sat down, I heard the familiar background music.

Why does that sound so familiar?

Turning my head, I saw that it really was their game.

"Why are you sitting on the side playing on your phone now that you're at the aquarium?" Chen Lu joked.

The chubby boy sighed deeply and said in a heavy tone, "You'll understand when you get to my age."

"Is this game fun?" he continued to ask.

"It's fun."

The chubby boy got excited and moved his phone a little closer. "If I get an item that reduces card costs this round, I'll have a perfect hand. You know what? If this character's deck and relics are well-coordinated, they can play an infinite number of cards in one turn."

"Of course I know, I made this game."

Chen Lu said calmly, walked forward and took Liang Zhirou's hand, leaving the little boy sitting there like a statue.

In Chen Lu's eyes, it didn't matter whether the other party believed him or not; as long as he got away with it, that was enough.

"Why are you chatting with a child?" Liang Zhirou found it amusing.

“Kids these days are so mature. He even told me that I’ll understand when I reach his age.”

Liang Zhirou smiled and said, "She's quite cute."

Chen Lu snorted coldly, "If our two kids ever say that to me again, I'll break their legs."

"You can't hit children." Although she knew Chen Lu was joking, the girl still said it seriously.

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Lu brought his mouth close to her ear and asked, "So you're saying you've agreed to have a baby with me?"

"rogue."

"Don't praise me like that, it makes me feel embarrassed."

"You...you..."

Liang Zhirou had nothing to say, so she decided to skip the topic and took Chen Lu's arm to continue shopping.

What else could she do? She couldn't bring herself to be angry with him, so she had no choice but to skip it and stop him from bullying her.

This silly boy seemed to have inexhaustible enthusiasm, so Chen Lu simply decided to have a quick lunch and continue shopping in the afternoon.

By afternoon.

Liang Zhirou pressed her palm against the glass, staring at the jellyfish moving slightly, and said in a low voice, "Even though it's swimming so hard, it still feels like a tiny wave could sweep it away..."

Just like me.

If they're so powerless in an aquarium, they'd be even smaller in the ocean. They'd probably end up wherever the waves take them.

Just like life.

Seeing the girl's somber expression, Chen Lu walked over to her and said, "Life will always find a way out."

He suddenly remembered something and tapped the glass with his finger. "There's also a kind of jellyfish called the Turritopsis dohrnii. When it develops to a certain stage, it slowly shrinks back into its embryonic form and then grows up again. It's also a form of asexual reproduction."

Liang Zhirou looked at him in surprise, "How do you know everything?"

Throughout the journey, Chen Lu was always able to answer any questions she was curious about.

Chen Lu shrugged. "I just happened to see it."

Of course I asked you questions you might not know, so I spent a long time reading popular science articles last night.

What can I do? My girlfriend likes fish.

He turned his gaze to the jellyfish, watching its aimless drifting with the current, and felt that everyone's view of a jellyfish was different.

The jellyfish in Liang Zhirou's eyes were helpless and weak, just like the jellyfish in his eyes... just like himself back then.

Chen Mo once said that being a jellyfish was pretty cool; all you had to do was laze around and go wherever you wanted.

"It may be a far-fetched idea, but it's a kind of immortality in a sense," he chuckled. "It's pretty cool. Who hasn't wished for eternal youth?"

Otherwise, Qin Shi Huang would not have sent Xu Fu out to find the elixir of immortality.

Life is just too short. It's so short that just thinking about the inevitable separation from this silly boy in the future makes my heart clench and feel incredibly heavy.

When I was a child, I felt like life was long, and even a summer vacation seemed endless, a time to play for ages. Now, I always feel like time is flying by. I suddenly remember what I did yesterday, and only after thinking about it carefully do I realize that it was already several days ago.

Just as Chen Lu was in a daze.

"Will they still have memories after they grow up again?" the girl continued to ask.

"No, jellyfish don't seem to have any memory."

Liang Zhirou nodded almost imperceptibly, saying nonchalantly, "What's so good about immortality?"

I don't want to forget you.

As long as I'm with you, even if I can only live for one day like a mayfly, I'll be happy...

Life begins with a morning with you, and the sunset is also witnessed with you. When life ends at night, you are by my side.

One day at a time.

To be honest, it was only after meeting Chen Lu that she felt like she was truly alive, and now, thinking about her past experiences still makes her breathless.

The past ten years combined have never been as happy as today.

She thought that the differences in their childhood experiences led to their different views on this matter.

"Don't you think living only one day is too short?" Chen Lu asked curiously.

Liang Zhirou shook her head vigorously and said seriously:

"Without you, every day is too long."

Chen Lu turned to look at the girl in surprise, only to find that she was still intently watching the jellyfish, standing there motionless.

He felt that this was the most beautiful love confession he had ever heard in his life.

I never expected to find it not online, but from this silly person's mouth.

It was still said to him...

"This is one of the rare times we've disagreed," Chen Lu said with a smile, taking the girl's hand. "This time, you've convinced me."

He had long since become unable to accept life without Liang Zhirou by his side.

Not even for a day.

As the two approached the exit, Chen Lu stopped, glanced at the time, and asked softly, "Want to see a movie?"

Liang Zhirou tilted her head to look at him, "We can watch movies at home, and I can lie in your arms without spending any money."

"They really know how to manage their money."

Chen Lu muttered a helpless complaint, then asked, "Did you have fun?"

"So happy that I'd rather live only this one day."

"This joke hasn't died down yet?" Chen Lu couldn't help but chuckle. "There will be many more days like this in the future."

Liang Zhirou stepped forward and took his hand again. "I have another gift for you."
