Some say Liang Zhirou is simple-minded, while others curse her as inhuman.

Even with his thick skin, he couldn't bear to watch any longer and quickly turned off the live stream and left.

He let out a deep breath before lazily lying back on the sofa, letting his arms dangle down beside him.

Liang Zhirou thought Chen Lu was tired, so she poured him a glass of water and sat down next to him to massage his shoulders.

"Are you very tired?" the girl asked softly.

Chen Lu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "You're even massaging my shoulders now, I'm bound to get tired."

So even though he didn't really feel anything, he still said in a deep voice, "I'm exhausted."

"Let me massage it for you."

"Actually, you can let me pinch your fingers too."

"Are you thinking of something good again?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Chen Lu casually retorted, "It's noon now, the sun is shining brightly, and the sunlight is streaming into the living room from the balcony, making the glasses on the coffee table look colorful."

Although this little guy isn't very strong, he seems to enjoy the massages quite a bit, probably because his mother often gives him massages.

Not long after, Chen Lu yawned and lazily closed his eyes.

"If you used the time you spend accompanying me on my live stream to go to work, wouldn't you earn more money?" Liang Zhirou's grip on his shoulder suddenly loosened, and her movements slowed down a bit. "Am I wasting your time like this?"

Chen Lu's efforts were thankless; he was probably just trying to make her happy...

"How come you're so smart one minute and so naive the next?" Chen Lu sighed inwardly, somewhat helplessly. How come this naive guy is so clever in the wrong places?

Sometimes he really wished Liang Zhirou could be a little selfish and not notice every little thing he did so meticulously.

He rolled over on the sofa and pulled the sweet, soft girl into his arms.

"Your happiness is priceless," Chen Lu said softly. "Besides, I won't stay with you like this forever. Once you're able to talk to yourself on your own, I won't bother you anymore."

That's what he said, but in reality, he had long been prepared for things to continue like this for a long time.

Social anxiety isn't something that can be improved in a day or two. It'll be quite a feat if this goofball dares to talk to outsiders after they get married.

The girl nodded gently. "I will try my best..."

"Do you know how much money you made from this live stream?" Chen Lu asked.

"I don't know, I don't understand these things."

"Ten captains, plus all sorts of gifts, and you made almost a thousand yuan in just two and a half hours. My girlfriend is a genius."

After thinking for a moment, he added:

"However, this is your first time broadcasting, and the activation code has generated a lot of buzz. There will probably be more gifts in the future, but not as many. After all, you are still an artist at heart, and you can't compare to those streamers."

Chen Lu spoke very seriously, lest this simpleton have any illusions about it and feel frustrated when she finds out later that the income isn't as considerable as she imagined. It's better to tell her now so she can be mentally prepared.

If you set your expectations too high before doing something that requires perseverance, the result is destined to be not good. When he was in elementary school, there were always a few people in his class who kept saying that they wanted to be number one or get into the top few. Once these people did not succeed for a long time, their enthusiasm was worn down, and they would most likely just give up and give up.

Even if they give up when their progress has already been remarkable.

Chen Lu thought Liang Zhirou would be a little disappointed, but to his surprise, she turned around and blinked at him as if she had found out she had won the lottery, "There will be more in the future?"

"...There will be." Chen Lu said with a hint of helplessness. Wasn't this simpleton's focus a little strange?

He poked Liang Zhirou's head. "I thought you'd be upset to hear that."

Liang Zhirou nestled obediently in Chen Lu's arms, letting him tangle her hair with his fingers from behind. "No, because no matter if there are gifts or not, I'm still going to draw. This time, we're both drawing, and I'm getting a little more money."

"Even if you only get a few extra dollars, it's free money, and I can even buy you a Coke."

"You're quite optimistic." Chen Lu couldn't help but chuckle; his simple-minded attitude was much better than that of ordinary people.

After lounging on the sofa for a while, they saw Duoduo come out from the balcony looking for food, and only then did they realize that they hadn't even eaten.

After realizing what was happening, my stomach, which hadn't been reacting before, suddenly started to feel quite hungry.

After a brief discussion, the two of them decided to have dumplings together.

It felt strange to eat frozen dumplings on New Year's Day, so Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou changed their clothes and prepared to go downstairs to buy some pork.

Just as she was about to leave, Liang Zhirou glanced at Duoduo, who was squatting next to the automatic feeder, and said softly, "Duoduo hasn't left the house since she arrived, has she? Isn't it a bit much to stay cooped up at home all this time?"

Chen Lu pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and walked over to pick up Duo Duo.

Duoduo watched the automatic feeding machine getting further and further away from her, her thin paws flapping in mid-air.

It hasn't eaten yet.

As the door was gradually closed, its gaze became increasingly vacant, and in the end, it simply gave up struggling.

After the family of three got dressed, they prepared to go out. Liang Zhirou was still wearing her fluffy white hat with a small ball on top.

She seems to really like this.

As the girl went down the stairs, the fluffy little ball on her head swayed up and down, making her look even more energetic.

Once outside, Chen Lu quickly tucked his neck into his collar.

Damn it, it looks sunny and warm at home, but as soon as I go outside, the cold wind feels like knives cutting my skin.

Liang Zhirou noticed his reaction immediately and muttered softly, "I bought you a scarf, but you don't wear it..."
