Upon hearing this, Liang Zhirou could only say with a wronged expression, "I'll go cook."

What should we eat for lunch?

The girl opened the refrigerator, glanced at it carefully, and immediately blurted out the dishes she could make: "Hand-torn cabbage, scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

Chen Lu was away on a business trip for the past few days, so she wasn't motivated to go grocery shopping and just ate leftovers all day. Therefore, there wasn't much left in the fridge.

However, when Chen Lu is around, she has to cook at least two dishes, because her boyfriend is very picky.

"There's also leftover cake from yesterday," the girl said with some surprise.

Chen Lu made a somewhat disgusted expression, "That stuff doesn't taste good if it's left out overnight."

Watermelon that had been in the refrigerator overnight, and cream that had been in the refrigerator overnight, were even harder for him to swallow than durian.

"It's not like you can't eat it..."

Liang Zhirou muttered softly, picked up a cherry and put it in her mouth, then immediately showed a satisfied look.

It's still so delicious, with a sweet and sour taste.

She then deliberately picked up a piece that didn't have much cream on it, walked up to Chen Lu, opened her small mouth, and softly said, "Ah~"

Chen Lu was a little disgusted by the fruit he took out of the refrigerator, but since it was a gift from his girlfriend, he obediently opened his mouth and ate it.

"Isn't it still delicious?"

"It's mainly because you fed it to me." Chen Lu frowned and smacked his lips. The cream tasted really strange after sitting overnight. "This stuff spoils very easily. If you like it, just buy another one. We're not short of money for cakes right now."

In other words, he doesn't have that many needs, otherwise his consumption level would have increased several times over long ago.

Chen Lu felt that if it were him two years ago, he would definitely have built a top-of-the-line computer first before thinking about anything else. Unfortunately, even if he did build one for himself now, he knew that he no longer had the energy to focus on it.

Instead of buying a top-of-the-line computer to play chess all day, it's better to buy this silly boy a couple more dresses; they're more pleasing to the eye.

"We need to save money," Liang Zhirou said earnestly.

"How much money can I save on a cake? I don't know how many cakes I could buy with my daily earnings..."

"I'm so tired of this food, I'm not eating anymore after this meal."

Liang Zhirou left a message and quickly went into the kitchen.

"I just have to save money..." the girl muttered to herself as she chopped vegetables.

Where won't you need money to get married and raise children in the future? Hangzhou is different from her hometown. Nowadays, children are like money-devouring monsters. Everything you do after they are born costs money.

And I heard that a decent kindergarten in Hangzhou costs tens of thousands of yuan a year... She never went to kindergarten when she was a child.

Oh right, she hasn't even earned enough for her dowry yet.

Suddenly I feel so much pressure, getting married is so difficult...

As she was thinking, she suddenly stopped chopping vegetables and quickly patted her cheeks with both hands.

Liang Zhirou, what are you thinking about! You just turned nineteen! Nineteen!

Chen Lu sat on the sofa, his gaze fixed on the kitchen, and sighed with a wry smile. He realized that no amount of money could influence this simple-minded person's thinking.

......

After dinner, Jiang Chao messaged Chen Lu, asking him to play chess. Chen Lu saw that it was still early, so he played a game with him.

He hasn't touched the Rift since leaving school, he's too lazy to even do maintenance, and usually just plays ARAM or chess.

Liang Zhirou sat next to him reciting her lessons, occasionally glancing up at the screen at things she couldn't understand at all. She didn't know why she liked watching it so much; maybe she just liked the feeling.

After Chen Lu returned, her efficiency in memorizing things was indeed much faster, and she no longer had that problem of not being able to concentrate.

She stayed with Chen Lu, and Chen Lu stayed with her; everything was fine.

"How come you came in last place?" Liang Zhirou looked up and saw Chen Lu's effigy being beaten up, and asked curiously.

Chen Lu cleared his throat, looking slightly embarrassed. "I was deliberately selling my blood; it was a plan."

"oh......"

That sounds impressive.

Liang Zhirou nodded as if she understood, and believed whatever Chen Lu said.

After a while, there was a light knock on the door twice.

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Liang Zhirou quickly removed Chen Lu's hand from her thigh and sat up straight.

Chen Lu's blood pressure spiked instantly. He walked over and opened the door in a huff. Only then did he realize it was the aunt who had given Liang Zhirou a bag of peaches that day.

"Xiao Lu, are you free now? Could you come over and help me move some things?" The middle-aged woman, who was on the older side, smiled a little embarrassedly. "It's just me and my grandson at home right now, and no one can move that thing."

Liang Zhirou lay on the sofa like a silly roe deer, secretly raising her head to peek at the door. She remembered this aunt; she had been quite kind to her.

"Please wait a moment at home, I'll be right there." Chen Lu usually wouldn't refuse such a favor, because you never know when it might be his turn to ask someone for a help.

Chen Lu closed the door and stared at the computer screen, feeling a pang of regret.

He pinched Liang Zhirou's cheek. "You play for me. This is a life-or-death game."

"I...I don't know how." Liang Zhirou was startled; she was far from capable of such a difficult task.

“It’s very simple. Look at the people on the field right now. If you see any of them, just pick them.” Chen Lu took the girl’s hand and helped her hold the mouse. “Then this one called ‘Yise is also my wife’ is Jiang Chao. See what role he plays on the field, and just pick that role.”

He currently has 40 HP and Jiang Chao has 17 HP. It's unrealistic to temporarily teach this clueless guy how to operate the game. It would be better to teach him to block Jiang Chao into the fifth position and let him take some points.
