Compared to Liang Zhirou and Wang Xiaoxia, who were completely stunned, Chen Lu seemed relatively calm.

He deliberately didn't inform Liang Zhirou, because if the two of them were prepared in advance and then discovered, the situation might change in Wang Xiaoxia's eyes.

Only by letting Liang Zhirou come out of his room like this can it be proven that he, a virtuous gentleman, really hasn't done anything wrong.

He did not engage in the despicable act of luring girls to his bed.

At least not yet.

Mom, you just said it's better for the kids to be a little mischievous, so you can't go back on your word...

Chen Lu silently prayed in his heart.

Liang Zhirou paused for a few seconds, took a step back, then lowered her head and whispered, "Hello, Auntie..."

Chen Lu could tell that this simpleton's first reaction was definitely to bury his head in the sand like an ostrich, and he immediately ran back into the house.

Goodness, this idiot only compares himself to him now, right? He's still a speechless fool in front of everyone else.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat. Liang Zhirou wouldn't even dare to speak in front of others, but she was so flirtatious with him that he couldn't resist.

Damn! Getting beaten up by such a stupid idiot is so embarrassing.

Wang Xiaoxia's first reaction after regaining her senses was to turn around and glance at Chen Lu. Her eyes were calm and expressionless, but they made him feel uneasy all over.

Then she turned her gaze to Liang Zhirou and chuckled, "Zhirou's here. You live with Xiaolu?"

No wonder it was so clean everywhere, now everything makes sense...

"No, no, we didn't sleep in the same room," Liang Zhirou quickly explained, her words almost slurred with nervousness.

“She doesn’t have a dormitory, and when she has classes in the afternoon, she has nowhere to go, so I invited her to come here for a nap,” Chen Lu quickly added. “She still goes home at night.”

What this idiot said is too easy to misunderstand; if he doesn't explain, he definitely won't live to see tomorrow.

Wang Xiaoxia nodded as if she had breathed a sigh of relief. Her unlucky son was wicked to the core, and Liang Zhirou was a silly girl who was easy to fool. She had been worried for a long time that Chen Lu would do something underhanded. Fortunately, Chen Lu did not try to trick her into getting pregnant out of wedlock.

My heart really can't take it anymore as I get older.

They were just taking a nap together in the same house; they didn't even sleep in the same room.

The child is grown up, so you can't hit them; you have to restrain yourself.

Seeing his mother's reaction, Chen Lu finally felt a little relieved; at least Wang Xiaoxia hadn't broken his leg on the spot.

People always prefer compromises. If he had directly told Wang Xiaoxia that he wanted Liang Zhirou to come and live with him, Wang Xiaoxia would definitely have shown him what it means to be strict with others.

However, if you let her think that the two of you are living together and then tell her that it was just a nap, Wang Xiaoxia will most likely accept it.

"Come and sit down, Auntie just missed you," Wang Xiaoxia said with a smile, her voice incredibly gentle.

Liang Zhirou sat down timidly next to her, her head down, too embarrassed to speak.

She felt like a cabbage secretly flirting with someone else's pig, and she was incredibly guilty. Just half an hour ago, she was sitting here kissing and hugging Chen Lu.

The thought of this made her cheeks blush even more, and she gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, her round, pink toes pressed firmly against the surface of her shoes.

Liang Zhirou wasn't the only one feeling awkward; Wang Xiaoxia was also feeling uncomfortable and thought it would have been better if she hadn't come at all.

No, it's her own unfortunate son who's abducting an innocent girl; she's here to uphold justice.

After thinking it through, she smiled and took Liang Zhirou's hand, asking softly, "Has Xiaolu been bullying you lately? If he makes you unhappy, just tell Auntie, and Auntie will beat him up for you."

Liang Zhirou didn't quite understand what he meant and remained silent for a moment.

Chen Lu, who had been strategizing calmly, suddenly lost his composure.

Say something! You were so good at flirting with me, how come you've suddenly fallen apart?

If you don't say something, your boyfriend is dead! You'll be a widow!

As if sensing Chen Lu's urgency, the girl stammered, "No..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lu slumped onto the sofa, letting out a sigh of utter despair.

Liang Zhirou has indeed changed significantly in the past six months, but why does he always feel that this silly evolutionary direction is a bit strange?

His interpersonal skills only barely improved from 30 to 50, still below the passing grade, but his flirting skills have already reached 90.

You're really unbalanced in your studies, Liang Zhirou!

After calming down and chatting for a while, Liang Zhirou's cheeks were no longer so red.

"Zhirou, it's good that you came here at noon. It's so hot in the summer and the days are so long. It must be so uncomfortable for you to stay at school at noon with nowhere to sleep," Wang Xiaoxia said with great concern.

I can't even imagine how this child got through all that.

"That's why I considered this when I was choosing a house. Isn't your son smart?"

After Chen Lu finished speaking, he was glared at by his mother and dared not continue to claim credit.

He is still a suspect in the abduction of innocent young girls.

“My workplace is closed tomorrow, and Xiao Mo is back too. Zhi Rou, why don’t you come over for a meal?” Wang Xiaoxia suddenly said.

Chen Lu blinked blankly. "What about me? Don't you need to ask me if I'm going or not?"

"Where is Chen... Chen Lu?" Liang Zhirou asked, her voice trembling.

Wang Xiaoxia couldn't help but laugh, wondering how her son had managed to find such a lovely girlfriend. "Of course he went too."

The girl pursed her lips and then nodded shyly.

Since she hadn't planned to stay long, Wang Xiaoxia said a few words and then got up and left.

Liang Zhirou wanted to go down to see him off, but Wang Xiaoxia refused with a smile, leaving Chen Lu with only a meaningful look before she left.

Chen Lu dared not speculate further; even with the air conditioning on in the living room, a bead of cold sweat still clung to his cheek.

The living room fell silent instantly, with only the whirring of the air conditioner blowing out cold air.

Liang Zhirou was sitting for a while when she suddenly collapsed onto the sofa, burying her head in a cushion and remaining motionless.

"I...I don't want to live anymore..." The girl's slender legs twitched twice as she spoke, sounding very aggrieved.

Chen Lu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, "Look at you, so pathetic. You were just taking a nap here, and you weren't even sleeping in the same room. You have nothing to fear."

"Auntie definitely won't believe me." Liang Zhirou felt uncertain, realizing she was becoming more and more like a bad kid; she'd even stayed out all night before...

“We can’t rule out that possibility.” Chen Lu crawled over to the girl, pushed himself up and pinned her down, and whispered in her ear, “Since she’s already suspicious, we might as well sleep in the same room.”
