"So, are you the little white rabbit who beat up the pig's head?" Chen Lu asked.

"It's me."

Chen Lu said irritably, "Then you should be living happily with me, instead of beating me every day."

Liang Zhirou glanced at Chen Lu, her clear, captivating eyes shimmering with tears, "Who told you to bully me every day..."

"I don't."

"Who was it that bullied people during nap time?"

"Um... okay, I'll try not to bully you in the future." Chen Lu felt a little guilty and didn't know how to be stubborn for a moment.

"I don't believe you." Liang Zhirou gave him a fierce look and turned back to continue drawing.

"Stop drawing, hurry up and fight the zombies," Chen Lu urged. He hadn't seen Liang Zhirou outwit and outfight zombies in so long, and he felt like ants were crawling all over him.

Liang Zhirou glanced at the time. "It will take another thirteen minutes to draw."

"All right."

Chen Lu suddenly had a bright idea and took out his DSLR camera to take a few photos of Liang Zhirou, who was looking very focused. Since he got the camera, he had only ever taken photos of Liang Zhirou, and he already had quite a few photos saved. He could even see some subtle changes in her somewhat goofy appearance.

He spends every day with this silly creature, so naturally he wouldn't notice. But looking at the photos, he can see a lot. The most obvious thing is that the silly creature smiles more often and looks less melancholy. It no longer only shows its profile to the camera like it used to, and has gradually gotten used to facing it directly.

Her smile is sweet, and her dimples are shallow.

Chen Lu knew very well that it wasn't a smile directed at the camera, but a smile directed at him.

Her eyes, which were somewhat listless at first, now appear clear and bright.

I wonder how I'll feel when I look at these photos again in a few years or even decades.

Chen Lu was stunned when he saw the gentle and beautiful girl in the photo frame.

Liang Zhirou rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at what was in front of her as if deep in thought. The bright afternoon sunlight shone on her delicate profile, as if time itself had stood still.

She seemed to embody tranquil life itself.

"Zhirou, turn around and smile. Hurry up, hurry up," Chen Lu urged softly with a smile.

The next second, he looked at the frozen photo frame and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

This was the first time he had ever recorded a girl sticking her tongue out at him.

This is another big step forward; the silly goose from back then wouldn't have done this.

He put the camera away and sat back down next to the girl, satisfied.

How much longer are you going to draw?

"Two minutes," Liang Zhirou said seriously.

It has to be said that Liang Zhirou is incredibly self-disciplined.

He'll draw for an hour before he'll play a game for ten minutes, without fail.

Just as Chen Lu was getting into the game, this simpleton paused the game and went back to drawing.

It made him so upset that he simply downloaded it onto his laptop as well, just to relive his childhood.

But playing by myself is not as fun as watching this silly guy play. He knows how to win even with his eyes closed. He can play without using a single car, and he can even prevent his plants from getting hit.

However, if playing games is too focused on achieving results, it becomes less interesting.

Liang Zhirou is different. She gets nervous even when playing a casual game, and she can sometimes pull off a big job like planting a Charm Mushroom behind a Wall of Nuts.

Later, she heard that the Enchantress only works when eaten by zombies, so she stopped using Enchantresses.

He even gets so nervous that he plants the wrong plants, and when zombies walk into his house, he covers his eyes and is too scared to look. This silly guy makes a lot of fun when he plays games.

Chen Lu felt that zombies were the most difficult to deal with; who knows, after opening their skulls, he might find them completely empty.

A group of brothers risked their lives to break through the defenses and get it into the house, but in the end it was all for nothing.

The last zombie emerged from the house, looking at the corpses and severed limbs scattered on the floor. Its already rotting throat managed a weak whimper: "They all died in vain. Our mission failed. The owner of this house had no brains..."

It's very immersive; just thinking about it makes me feel hopeless.

Just as Chen Lu was imagining a tear-jerking scene, Liang Zhirou suddenly said, "Making money has become so easy now."

She pointed to the painting on the screen, "This painting can earn me a few hundred yuan."

"Your teacher, Mr. Chen, is a good teacher, isn't he?" Chen Lu looked at her with great pride.

Liang Zhirou glanced at the time again, then put down her paintbrush, stretched, and immediately threw herself into Chen Lu's arms.

Now is the time to be cute and affectionate.

The girl snuggled against Chen Lu like a cat, and instantly felt all her fatigue disappear.

This person must be Doraemon sent to her by God.

If she hadn't met Chen Lu, there were some things she definitely wouldn't have been able to figure out for years.

These days, you can earn several hundred yuan just by painting. As your skill level improves, you'll only earn more and more. Plus, you don't have to go out in the sweltering sun or get yelled at by others.

I used to only know how to hand out flyers and work as a waiter, but even if I did that kind of job for several years, I would only get the same salary.

The less easily a skill can be replaced, the more money you can make. This was an experience she suddenly came to.

Anyone can hand out flyers, but if too many people are vying for them, the pay won't be high...

Why couldn't she understand this before?

"What's wrong?" Chen Lu asked curiously, looking at the motionless, cuddly cat in his arms.

"Hug me~"

Ten minutes later.

"Why did you put the Frost Archer behind the Torchwood? Isn't that completely useless?!" Chen Lu's tone alone was enough to make one feel the rise in blood pressure.

Liang Zhirou pursed her lips awkwardly, then said calmly, "This is part of the plan."
