"What will I do when I get old?" she whispered.

"So what if I'm old? What am I going to do about it?" Chen Lu clicked his tongue when he saw Liang Zhirou's painting of Yukino. He thought the painting should be sold to Jiang Chao; he might be able to swindle a lot of money from him.

Liang Zhirou's mind wasn't on the screen; her voice trembled with a hint of tears as she said, "I won't be pretty anymore when I get old... How can I face you for being so good to me?"

She could tell that although Chen Lu didn't dislike cats, he definitely didn't like them to that extent, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to wash his hands every time he petted one.

He's just accommodating himself; because he likes it, so does he.

Chen Lu paused for a moment, put down the mouse, took the girl's hand, and made her sit on his lap. "When you are ten years older, I will be ten years older too, the world will be ten years older, even God will be ten years older. We are all the same, so don't be afraid of getting old."

"Besides, I'm good to you not because you're good-looking, but because you love me. Now you're my girlfriend, and in the future you'll be my wife. My kindness to you comes from the bottom of my heart. There's never any question of right or wrong in this kind of thing."

Previously, it was always Chen Lu who buried his face in Liang Zhirou's neck; now it's Liang Zhirou's turn.

However, Chen Lu felt that his neck was wet.

"Chen Lu, I want to marry you. Can you marry me soon?" the girl asked in a muffled voice.

"What kind of girl talks like that?" Chen Lu couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to himself, "What kind of girl is this, giving me free rides? Didn't you say girls should be reserved?"

“I don’t care…” Liang Zhirou sat on Chen Lu’s lap and hugged him tightly.

Even his rare little quirks are so adorable.

"Okay, okay." Chen Lu sniffed lightly at the girl's neck. "It's all because you were born too late. Otherwise, I would have taken you to get our marriage certificate the day you said you loved me."

With tears in her eyes, Liang Zhirou kissed Chen Lu on the forehead and said earnestly, "I love you."

Chen Lu's lips were practically curled into a smile. What's the difference between this idiot saying "I love you" now and just saying "Take me to get our marriage certificate right now"?

"It's no use saying it now. We'll talk about it when it's your birthday next year."

"good."

The girl wiped away her tears and went to the bathroom to bathe the kitten.

As Chen Lu was looking at the message, he suddenly saw a private message pop up in the upper right corner.

"Brother, I'm still a student, could you draw me one for free?"

This outrageous comment made Chen Lu's eyebrows twitch twice, and he replied with his hands on the keyboard:

"You can't even be born with it."

They even got Liang Zhirou's gender wrong, they deserve to die.

This message is clearly a mass message, casting a wide net to see if it can find a kind-hearted sucker.

After replying, Chen Lu went into the bathroom and picked up the little gray cat that was taking a bath.

"I haven't finished washing yet," Liang Zhirou said earnestly.

"No need to wash it. I'll take it to the pet store for a check-up first." Chen Lu lifted the cat to eye level and looked it in the eye.

Could it be because Liang Zhirou picked it up? It looks rather silly.

She wasn't flustered at being lifted up like that for no reason; instead, she stared blankly at him, her eyes revealing a hint of stupidity.

He grinned speechlessly and continued, "Check if they have any illnesses, and then get all the necessary vaccinations. It's better for everyone that way."

"When I was little, I saw them raising cats, and they would just bring them home and wash them." Liang Zhirou had never considered raising cats before, so she didn't really know much about it.

“Times have changed,” Chen Lu said softly. “What most people did in the past is not necessarily right.”

Every generation has its own ignorance, and blindly following past experiences is naturally a mistake.

After he finished speaking, he picked up the cat and walked towards the door, talking to the cat as he went.

"You're a grown cat now. You're not allowed to come back until you've learned to use the litter box by yourself, understand?"

"Meow?"
