When Liang Zhirou returned to the room, Chen Lu was already lying down obediently, looking at her with an innocent and harmless expression.

"Hasn't the air conditioner repairman arrived yet?" the girl urged, only then realizing that she would be sleeping with Chen Lu from now on.

"I've been busy with scheduling lately, but he said it'll be done soon."

Liang Zhirou tilted her head. "But the time for turning on the air conditioning is almost over. Are there still so many people needing their air conditioners repaired?"

I thought the peak season for air conditioner repairs was at the beginning of summer...

Is this silly boy getting smarter and smarter?!

Chen Lu thought to himself, but his expression remained flawless. "Those air conditioners have been working tirelessly day and night all summer long; they're exhausted."

Liang Zhirou felt that it was no use whether she believed it or not, so she could only timidly lie down on the edge of the bed.

"I...I don't feel so hot anymore, I'll go to your room to sleep." After a while, she said softly again.

"No, you're hot."

Two minutes later, the girl turned around and saw that Chen Lu was still lying there obediently, without any intention of touching her, so she didn't say anything more.

But she always suspected that Chen Lu wanted to seek more benefits, after all, that was his personality.

However, the truth is... that's really the case.

Chen Lu resisted the urge to move over and closed his eyes to recite the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng in an attempt to distract himself.

A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. He possesses the composure of a master frog-boiling expert, with his own strategies and plans.

Just as I was carrying the fishermen to their evening song, I suddenly felt something slip into my arms.

He opened his eyes and saw Liang Zhirou lying on her side, hugging him, her face buried in his shoulder.

"What's wrong?" He didn't react.

The girl's face wasn't visible, so her voice was muffled, "These past few days while you were gone, I haven't been able to sleep at all..."

Chen Lu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "I was planning to behave myself for another ten days or so before hugging you, and you've already given yourself away for nothing?"

This silly frog is quite something, it jumped into the pot by itself.

"You're not going on a business trip while I'm sleeping, are you?" Liang Zhirou asked Chen Lu softly, hugging him even tighter, as if afraid he would suddenly leave.

"Won't."

Chen Lu turned to the side and gently patted the girl's back. "Go to sleep."

All the evil thoughts in his mind were suddenly cleared away, and he felt a little heartache.

He used his left arm as a pillow for the girl, and his right arm tightly embraced her waist. The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms, and he slept soundly, a rare occurrence for him.

Holding this cuddly baby while it sleeps feels so blissful; it even makes time seem to slow down.

Chen Lu woke up after 1 p.m.

He rubbed his arm, which was a little sore from being used as a pillow by Liang Zhirou, lifted the blanket, and slowly walked out of the room.

He didn't have the habit of sleeping with a blanket in the summer, so it was obviously Liang Zhirou who covered him with one.

As soon as I entered the living room, I felt that the atmosphere around me had completely changed, and it was completely different from the smell in Liang Zhirou's room.

What's going on? Why do girls' rooms always smell so nice?

Just as he was getting curious, Liang Zhirou, who was drawing nearby, suddenly said:

"Someone commissioned me to draw a two-dimensional portrait based on his photo, but he wasn't satisfied with any of the drafts I made, saying they didn't capture his handsomeness..."

Is this even possible?!

Chen Lu was quite surprised and moved closer to the girl. After seeing the photo she sent, he frowned and said, "It must have been really difficult for you to draw like this... If you have this kind of stupidity again, just block you."

"You can make money now?" Chen Lu decided to steer clear of the topic that had just disgusted him.

"Two hundred yuan for a profile picture."

She held up two fingers and shook them gently. This was the price she had set after conducting market research, much lower than others.

Since we're all practicing drawing anyway, why not earn some money while practicing?

"I only plan to make a little money when I have nothing else to do, and I won't go down this path in the future," she added earnestly before Chen Lu spoke.

"Why?" Chen Lu swallowed his suggestion, curious about her answer.

"I feel like I'll be replaced by AI." Liang Zhirou pulled out two AI drawings from her folder and compared them with her own. She could only say it was a good thing she hadn't adopted that style in the first place.

We can still easily distinguish between human and AI now, but who knows what will happen in the future.

Noticing Chen Lu's strange gaze, she shrank back to the side, puzzled, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that...?"

"You are so intelligent that you seem like a stranger to me."

As soon as Chen Lu finished speaking, Liang Zhirou stood up.

"Ah! Don't bump into me! I'm serious."

......

Chen Lu went to the balcony and looked outside. There were only a few scattered clouds in the sky, drifting high up alone. The sun wasn't particularly strong, and there was a gentle breeze blowing through the window, making it surprisingly cool.

Summer is almost over, and I guess the temperature will drop every time it rains.

"Let's go to the amusement park this afternoon," he suggested, turning around. He had been about to go on a business trip when this silly suggestion came up, so now he could make up for it.

Liang Zhirou opened her phone, then slumped onto the table, looking utterly dejected. "There's a public entrepreneurship class this afternoon."

"How about we skip class? You can experience what it's like to skip class with your boyfriend." Chen Lu leaned against the balcony watching the clouds, grinning mischievously at her.

He looked like he was trying to abduct an innocent young girl.

"Ah? I don't dare..."

Liang Zhirou muttered to herself, she had never even dared to think about skipping class in her entire life. She had never even asked for leave when she had a fever before.

"This class is just a formality. I've been through it all, how could I not know that?"
