Why Do You Think I'll Always Like You?

I used half my life to gain this great enlightenment. If I were to look back even once, I would deserve to die," Chen Lu said to himself after waking up.

He and Mo Yuqing had known each o...

Chapter 168 Repeated Defeats and Unyielding Fight

How could Chen Lu, such an upright and virtuous man, be slandered for no reason?

Since you're going to be suspected anyway, you might as well just confirm the crime. If someone says you have nuclear weapons, you'd better actually have them. Similarly, if someone says you're a rogue, you'd better actually be one.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a huge loss if we were falsely accused?

Liang Zhirou remained motionless like an ostrich, completely unmoved by his charms.

Chen Lu kissed the girl's earlobe and took the peaches that Wang Xiaoxia had brought to the kitchen to wash.

After a while, Liang Zhirou combed her long hair, preparing to go back to school for class.

Chen Lu lay on the sofa, munching on a peach and scrolling through his phone. The weather was nice today; the clouds outside were flying high, perfect for slacking off.

I still remember when he first graduated, he felt a little lost and would miss the feeling of being in class from time to time.

Now I just think how stupid I was to miss going to class. It would be so great not having to go to class every day.

As he was scrolling through the messages, he suddenly saw Liang Zhirou's name on the confession wall again.

The incident started when someone posted a question asking who his girlfriend was, since he had publicly revealed it during a speech.

Then there are a few newly posted comments below:

[Our accounting department's aloof goddess, Liang Zhirou, I've never seen such a beautiful girl in my life.]

[Unfortunately, she's already taken.]

[Hurry up and send someone with yellow pee to wake the person upstairs; you won't even be able to get a word in edgewise. They don't say a single word to their classmates.]

[I'm in her class, and only one girl in the whole class has her on WeChat.]

aloof...

Chen Lu looked up at Liang Zhirou, who was combing her hair, and almost burst out laughing.

Aloof goddess... Ha.

LOL.

There's no aloof goddess, but there is one extremely socially awkward goofball. In this world, social anxiety is even mistaken for aloofness.

"Come here and let me hug you," Chen Lu suggested.

"oh......"

Liang Zhirou obediently came into Chen Lu's arms and let him hold her. "How about I pour you some water? Your lips are chapped and you keep tearing them, or they'll bleed."

"I don't want to move, just feed me."

"Okay." Liang Zhirou quickly brought over the prepared warm water. Feeding Chen Lu water was a small matter, as long as he was willing to drink it.

Chen Lu sat up straight and opened his mouth, and the girl fed him water from the cup.

For some reason, Chen Lu felt even more pleased to bully this silly girl after she had been labeled with strange tags.

"Why is my name on this?" Liang Zhirou was somewhat surprised when she saw it by chance.

"It's just a bunch of people arguing, don't worry about it." After taking a few sips, Chen Lu pushed the water glass away. Water, being tasteless, was really hard for him to drink.

He found it amusing and joked, "Everyone says you're a cool and aloof goddess, they'd never guess you're just socially awkward."

This world is so boring, everyone's obsessed with looks. Chen Lu really wanted to grab a megaphone and shout it out to the whole world, telling them that his girlfriend's good looks were nothing compared to all her other shining qualities.

Ironically, before Liang Zhirou had the time or inclination to dress herself up, no one paid attention to her other merits, and no one even spoke up for her when she was being criticized.

It's truly heartbreaking.

"I'm your girlfriend..." Liang Zhirou found this kind of messy title boring, and didn't like the title "girlfriend" that Chen Lu used to call her.

After saying that, she pouted again, clearly unconvinced, "Besides, I'm not aloof, nor am I socially awkward..."

Chen Lu chuckled, "Not bad, you've learned to be stubborn. I'm quite pleased. I wonder who was the one who couldn't say a word in front of my mother just now."

Liang Zhirou bumped Chen Lu hard with her head, and then set off for class.

afternoon.

Lin Miaomiao sat lazily next to Liang Zhirou, already in a sleeping position before class even started. She was only slightly better than Jiang Chao, except that she never failed a course and would still sleep in class as usual.

"Why do you look so distracted?" Lin Miaomiao asked, yawning. She rarely saw Liang Zhirou sitting so restlessly in class like she did.

This silly boy usually doesn't move an inch during class, just like a statue.

Liang Zhirou sighed and recounted in detail how Wang Xiaoxia had come over at noon.

"So exciting?" Lin Miaomiao's eyes lit up. She felt that her previous thinking was correct. The story of these two was much more interesting than TV dramas.

"I'm so sad..." Liang Zhirou looked aggrieved. "Will Auntie think I'm frivolous?"

Lin Miaomiao pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "If I were her... I would probably be eager for Chen Lu to get things done quickly, so as not to let the swan that's about to be eaten fly away."

Liang Zhirou: "......"

Halfway through the class, Lin Miaomiao suddenly burst out laughing. Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the class, she cleared her throat without changing her expression.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she would look back innocently at anyone who looked at her. She's a true social butterfly; her mental fortitude is incredibly exaggerated.

Only after everyone's gaze had shifted away did she continue laughing while lying on the table.

"What's wrong with you..." Liang Zhirou was a little confused. She had just been wondering if Chen Lu had drunk enough water when she was suddenly startled by Lin Miaomiao.

In those few seconds, Lin Miaomiao almost went through all the saddest things she had ever done in her life, and she almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She clutched her stomach and handed the phone to Liang Zhirou without saying a word.

Liang Zhirou took the phone, blinking as she stared at the screen. Her face flushed red to her ears, and her breathing became rapid.
