By the time Chen Lu had completely finished handing over the technical support, it was already early November.

By this time, the first game, "Tower of Slaughter," had already added nearly two million to Chen Lu's personal account.

The bad news is that, like other games on the WeChat mini-game platform, this game was caught in a period of rapid growth and its initial boom is about to end, meaning it won't generate such staggering profits again.

However, Chen Lu didn't care much; the profits were already much higher than he had expected. One must be self-aware; he knew how immature his company was when they made this game.

Confucius said, "Do not be impatient for quick results, nor be greedy for small gains. If you are impatient for quick results, you will not achieve your goals; if you are greedy for small gains, you will not accomplish great things."

To put it simply, it tells us that we can't be too hasty in doing things; we have to take it one step at a time.

Chen Lu was boiling water while he was thinking.

Although he can only touch his leg every day now, he knows that it won't be long before he can unlock more permissions.

After all, there's a strategy to boiling a frog. If you scare the frog out of the pot, how can you eat it clean... ugh, how can you cook it properly?

Chen Lu was satisfied with his current strategy. He lowered his head, poured himself a glass of water, and turned back to his room.

No one has come to fix the air conditioner yet, and Liang Zhirou hasn't asked about it again.

When he returned to the room, Liang Zhirou was lying on her side on the bed. When she saw him come in, she quickly pulled down the hem of her top to cover her slender waist that had been accidentally exposed.

"Experts have said that it's good for a girlfriend to give her boyfriend some perks when they're not in a relationship," Chen Lu said in a deep voice, blowing on the steam rising from his water glass.

“My mom doesn’t believe what those experts on the internet say…” Liang Zhirou muttered softly.

Chen Lu put the water glass on the bedside table, obediently lay down on the other side, and chuckled, "Auntie is much smarter than many people her age."

She didn't believe any experts, only Liang Zhirou. She didn't know if those so-called experts were doing it for her health, but she knew her daughter was definitely doing it for her own good.

Liang Zhirou was definitely thinking about her health; she just needed to listen to her daughter.

Unfortunately, many people still don't understand this extremely simple truth.

Noticing Chen Lu lying down, Liang Zhirou, who was lying on the other side, turned to look at him, her eyes filled with undisguised joy, "My mother can now walk by herself for almost ten minutes."

“If I bully you again, won’t your auntie come after me and beat me up?” Chen Lu said.

Chen Lu's words made Liang Zhirou smile, and her heart was filled with anticipation for the future. However, she still said softly, "Then, then just don't bully me, and besides, my mom would never have the heart to hit you..."

That person is so annoying. She's used to being bullied, and she still pretends to say things like that.

snort.

You make it sound like you can refrain from bullying me.

"It's a bit cold."

Chen Lu leaned against Liang Zhirou, trembling. Hangzhou not only had no spring, but also no autumn.

Once you're done heating up, you can prepare to freeze.

"What...what are you going to do?!" Liang Zhirou shrank back towards the bed in fear, looking at him warily.

Chen Lu found it strange, "When I first came back from my business trip, you took the initiative to hug me and sleep, but now you won't let me hug you anymore?"

"I only held you while I slept that one time..." The girl shrank into the blanket, only revealing her clear and beautiful eyes.

"I can't just let you hug me for free, can I?"

"You were holding me while I slept back then too." Liang Zhirou became more and more frightened as she spoke. Had this person finally given in after pretending for almost half a month?

Chen Lu shook his head. "That doesn't count. I even let you sleep with your head on my arm. It's more like you took advantage of me."

He wasn't doing anything at the time; he was just about to lie down and take a nap when this silly boy crawled into his arms.

It has nothing to do with him.

Liang Zhirou became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, "But... you were the one who stretched out your arm."

"Really? I forgot. It's been so long, who would remember?" Chen Lu smiled at her. "Liang Zhirou, you need evidence to back up your claims. Do you have any?"

"I...I..."

No, there really isn't.

The girl decided to concede, so she muttered softly, "You just take a nap, and when you wake up I'll let you touch my legs, okay? Later I'm going to draw on the sofa, you can rest your head on my lap..."

She never expected that her words would have the opposite effect.

"What are you saying!"

Chen Lu sternly refuted Liang Zhirou's slander, "How could you portray me, such an innocent and upright gentleman, as so despicable? I just wanted to hold my girlfriend while sleeping, I had no lustful intentions whatsoever!"

He said in a very serious tone, "The idea that you can make me give up the idea of ​​sleeping with you by giving me a little something is an insult to my character, you know that?"

Liang Zhirou believed it.

"sorry."

She said it softly, then moved a little closer to Chen Lu.

After a series of threats and inducements, Chen Lu finally succeeded.

He pulled the sweet-smelling, soft girl into his arms from behind, placed his right hand on her abdomen, and then remained motionless.

"Let's go take a look at the house when we have time, the one we bought before. Let's just settle in a bit first."

After a moment of silence in the bedroom, Chen Lu spoke softly.

Liang Zhirou nodded gently, "Okay."

“Actually, the formaldehyde had already mostly dissipated by then, so there shouldn’t be any problem now. You and Auntie can stay there for now.” Before the girl could speak, Chen Lu added, “Your rent for that apartment is due this month, right?”
