"What gift?" Chen Lu was a little surprised. He didn't think that gifts were needed for Qixi Festival...

Oh no, I was careless.

He really wasn't prepared.

"Let's go back first, you'll know when we get back." Liang Zhirou said with a light smile, holding Chen Lu's hand as she walked ahead. She swung Chen Lu's arm happily, and her long skirt swayed with her steps.

It was already past five in the afternoon, but the sky outside was still bright and clear. Summer has its advantages.

If it's already evening when I go out, I tend to feel a bit down, like the day is really coming to an end.

Chen Lu suddenly grinned mischievously and said, "Are you going to wash yourself clean and give yourself to me?"

"No, that's not true!"

The aquarium wasn't far from the rented apartment, and Chen Lu was eager to get home, so they arrived quickly.

When the two returned to the rented room, while Chen Lu was still changing his shoes, Liang Zhirou had already dashed into the room and locked the door behind her.

That's strange.

Chen Lu looked at the closed door and muttered a puzzled comment.

Half an hour later.

Chen Lu had just finished merging Samsung Alps when the other two players immediately invested, giving him no chance to gloat.

He placed his phone on the coffee table with a pale face, feeling that winning was more painful than losing.

"Zhirou, are you not ready yet?"

He slumped onto the sofa and asked loudly.

"It'll be ready soon!"

A girl's soft voice came from the room.

Chen Lu turned his gaze back to his phone, lost in thought.

I have to say, drawing cards is incredibly satisfying, and the various random bonuses make each game as unique as possible.

Indeed, novelty is the most important thing to maintain player activity.

Ever since he started making games, he's developed this occupational habit: he always unconsciously thinks about what games he plays.

Inside the room.

Liang Zhirou sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the two pairs of long socks, one black and one white, hidden in her schoolbag. She hesitated for a long time, not even having the courage to open the package.

Just looking at it makes my cheeks burn.

Why do guys like this kind of thing...?

I'll wear this to him later... I feel it's too dangerous to wear it now.

She carefully hid the things in the deepest part of her schoolbag, then collapsed onto the bed like a deflated balloon.

Liang Zhirou, what were you thinking back then?!

She agreed in a moment of impulse, and now look what's happened—she's suffering the consequences! Serves her right!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She kicked her feet twice on the bed, then buried her burning cheeks deep in the blankets, like an ostrich, too afraid to get up.

At this moment, Liang Zhirou had only one thought in her mind—

It's really painful to be a person who keeps their promises.

......

Just as Chen Lu was quietly pondering without moving, the door was suddenly slowly opened.

He looked up with curiosity, only to find that the door was only slightly ajar.

He tilted his head in confusion. "What kind of trouble are you getting into?"

"...Close your eyes first."

The girl said timidly.

Chen Lu felt confused, but he didn't say anything and obediently closed his eyes as the other party had told him.

"If you open your eyes... I'll headbutt you."

Don't worry.

Chen Lu gave a helpless smirk. This silly guy always told him to close his eyes for no reason, and he felt like he was about to break down.

I used to feel very insecure with my eyes closed, but now I find it a bit exciting.

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent; there was no more talking, not even a sound of footsteps.

After a while, the girl seemed to have finally mustered up her courage and began to walk towards them step by step.

Every step he took resonated deeply with Chen Lu, making his heart pound.

What on earth is this idiot up to now?

He had just frowned when he felt the girl grab his arm and sit on his lap, about knee-high, maintaining a certain distance.

"Can you open your eyes now?" Chen Lu asked.

Liang Zhirou gave a soft, almost inaudible "hmm".

He opened his eyes and first saw that the girl had already turned her face away shyly, and then he noticed the Hanfu she was wearing.

Wearing a light green, wide-sleeved blouse and a red khaki skirt, she could easily be mistaken for a fairy descended from heaven.

Her fair neck and collarbone were generously exposed, and the dress made her figure look even more slender.

She even tied her hair up in a hairpin; I wonder how long this silly girl had been learning.

Chen Lu was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.

He'd seen this kind of outfit in many period dramas, but he'd never seen one this good-looking.

Liang Zhirou felt a little embarrassed, so she rested her chin on his shoulder, leaned against him, and hugged him tightly nervously.

Chen Lu swallowed hard, put his arm around the girl's slender waist, feeling the smooth texture of her sleeves, and asked softly:

Are you the Weaver Girl?

"I'm your girlfriend," Liang Zhirou asked softly. "Do you want to only see me one day a year?"

Did you buy this?

"Yes, Miaomiao helped me pick it out."

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, "So you used your own salary to buy this Hanfu just to show it off to me?"

Whether Liang Zhirou likes wearing it or not is another matter; firstly, she wouldn't buy herself this kind of clothing on her own initiative.

It could only be for him to see.

Actually, buying this kind of clothing is quite wasteful for her, because she would never wear it out.

That means only he can see it; in other words, this silly guy really intends to wear it only for him to see.
