Upon hearing this, Chen Lu glanced around at the lights that were on in the room, then ruffled Liang Zhirou's hair. "Are you scared?"

Liang Zhirou nodded somewhat embarrassedly. She was actually very distressed about the electricity bill, but she was also genuinely scared. After a long internal struggle, she gritted her teeth and turned on all the lights.

"I bet you're hugging your legs because you're afraid something will crawl out from under the sofa and suddenly grab your feet," Chen Lu said with a laugh.

Liang Zhirou looked up at him blankly, "How do you know everything...?"

But she felt that the ghost shouldn't be interested in her feet; only Chen Lu would be interested.

Chen Lu found it funny, "Because what you're doing now is something I did right after watching a horror movie."

Liang Zhirou suddenly felt a little sad, thinking that it would be good if Chen Lu could quickly find a better reason to trick her into staying.

If she goes home, the house is old and gloomy, the bathroom faucet drips water from time to time, she can't sleep with the lights on, and there's no Chen Lu around, she'll definitely be very scared.

After hesitating for a moment, she sighed silently in her heart and said softly, "Let's eat."

Chen Lu looked at the four dishes on the table and thought to himself that this simpleton really kept his word and had obviously gone to great lengths to coax him back sooner.

There was clearly another way to achieve twice the result with half the effort, but unfortunately, this simple-minded person couldn't think of it.

"Why don't you stay here tonight?" Chen Lu suddenly said halfway through the meal.

Liang Zhirou, who had been in a daze, immediately looked up at him and asked, "Have you figured out how to lie to me again?"

Chen Lu blinked in confusion. Why did he always feel that there was a hint of expectation in that simple tone?

"What are you talking about! I checked the almanac and it said today is not a good day to drive," he instinctively retorted.

"...Do you think I'm stupid?"
