Liang Zhirou understood the difference between "when I have time" and "when I can have time," and lowered her eyes slightly, wondering if she could go alone.

Since this was part of the plan, it was something she and Chen Lu had agreed upon.

Chen Lu has been so patiently by her side all this time; she shouldn't keep running away like this.

At that moment, several new comments popped up under her latest painting.

[I'll be taking the high-speed train for over three hours to Hangzhou. If I can get a signed drawing from Mu Zhimu, I'll be so happy I'll faint on the spot.]

[Even though nobody knows whether Master Mu Zhimu is male or female, I'll die with you.]

[She's probably a girl, and seems to be a fan of the owner of Polaris Company, the one that made Killing Tower. She even joked before that she was his girlfriend.]

[I hope I can get a signed illustration; I've been waiting for two and a half years.]

[Why is Xiao Heizi trying to stir up trouble? Your brother's house has already collapsed.]

"I...I'll give it a try..." Liang Zhirou said, mustering her courage. She looked down and then noticed a bulge in her sweater.

Chen Lu cleared his throat. "Your sweater has a nice texture."

"You shameless!!"

......

evening.

After class, Liang Zhirou left the school gate with Lin Miaomiao as usual.

The two chatted as they walked along the stone-paved path, and the pedestrians coming and going made them part of the crowd.

She no longer seemed so out of place and had integrated into the environment.

"It seems like there's a comic convention next week..."

Looking at the clouds in the distance, which were set ablaze with the fiery red of the setting sun, Liang Zhirou suddenly spoke.

Lin Miaomiao, who was standing next to her, immediately became interested. "I heard that this comic convention is sponsored by a big company. It's no smaller than Bilibili's official comic convention!"

"Do you want to come with me?" Liang Zhirou asked softly.

Lin Miaomiao was somewhat surprised that Liang Zhirou would bring up something like a comic convention, but she still sighed helplessly, "I really want to go, but I don't have any vacation time left."

After she finished speaking, she snorted loudly again, "It's all your fault. If you had been braver, I wouldn't be in such a miserable state."

"Miaomiao, you're getting worse and worse."

Liang Zhirou bit her lip lightly and said with a wronged expression.

Lin Miaomiao bared her fangs and threatened her to stop talking, saying that this simpleton was too honest and made people feel guilty.

"If you're going, remember to book your tickets in advance."

Despite her stubbornness, Lin Miaomiao still enthusiastically explained the process to her best friend.

"Tickets for these big anime conventions are usually hard to buy, so you might not be able to get them if you don't try to book in advance."

"But you don't seem to need to worry about that. After all, your husband is rich. If you want, he'd probably be willing to book the entire venue."

After Lin Miaomiao finished speaking at length, Liang Zhirou slowly said, "I was invited, I didn't need to fight for tickets..."

"?"

Lin Miaomiao thought to herself, "What's wrong with you two? You just like to wait for others to ask before you show off, don't you?"

You haven't even married him yet, and you've already learned all the ways your boyfriend likes to show off?

Seeing Liang Zhirou's clear eyes, she realized that she had been judging a gentleman by her own petty standards.

"Chen Lu might not be available then, right? You're so socially awkward, do you think he'd let you go alone?"

It was only then that she realized next week was the test date for their company's new game. Both sides were practically fighting tooth and nail for the first taste of traffic, and she didn't believe Chen Lu would be so careless as to disregard everything at this crucial juncture.

"He couldn't bear to part with it."

Liang Zhirou answered very affirmatively, and then continued, "But he will do it because it was our agreement."

She knew that Chen Lu had been trying his best to be her support, but he didn't want her to become someone who couldn't live without him.

Chen Lu is very jealous, even of Xiao Meng, but sometimes he is also incredibly selfless in his love.

As soon as he finished speaking, a boy with a buzz cut came up to the two of them, glancing back every now and then at his friends who were grinning and joking. He had obviously come over at the urging of his roommates.

"Hello."

Although Lin Miaomiao found it strange that Liang Zhirou didn't hide behind her this time, she still shielded Liang Zhirou behind her.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" she said calmly.

Putting aside her slender figure, Lin Miaomiao, whose looks were actually quite striking, was completely ignored at this moment. The boy stared intently at Liang Zhirou behind her and asked with a smile:

"May I leave my contact information?"

Lin Miaomiao smiled and said, "Sorry, no. She has to hurry home to cook for her husband."

The boy looked like he'd seen a ghost, but he didn't believe it at all and turned his gaze back to the gentle and beautiful girl.

You must be joking, right? She looks like a junior student.

He definitely has a chance.

Under his expectant gaze, the girl said firmly:

"Can't."

"My husband will be unhappy."
