Chen Ludun remained rooted to the spot, unresponsive for a long time.

However, Liang Zhirou still noticed that his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

A moment later, Chen Lu squatted down in front of Duoduo and reached out to pat its head.

"Duoduo, don't run around. Keep an eye on the meat and eggs, and I'll reward you with cat treats when we get back."

Meow~

Duo Duo rubbed her head against his palm and obediently responded.

Although Liang Zhirou didn't know what was going to happen next, she subconsciously took two steps back. Only then did she realize that Chen Lu had already grabbed her wrist.

She has never regretted anything so much in her life.

Unfortunately, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't escape being dragged into the alley by Chen Lu.

......

As it turns out, the person who drags you into the alley isn't necessarily a bad person; they could also be your boyfriend.

Similarly, a boy's hands won't be any less restless when kissing a girl just because she's wearing thick clothes.

Having reached these two conclusions, Liang Zhirou wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, her face flushed, and walked out of the alley, picking up the couplets on the ground and hugging them back to her arms.

Duoduo is quite clever. Seeing the couplets swaying in the wind, she simply lay down on them to weigh them down.

"You've improved. This time you actually stuck out your tongue on your own." Chen Lu picked up the egg and joked with a smile. Thanks to this, their kiss this time was much more intense than before.

"No, stop talking..."

Liang Zhirou guiltily looked away; it seemed she really had started it this time...

Now that's settled, even though her lips are swollen, she has no reason to blame Chen Lu.

The more the girl thought about it, the hotter her cheeks became. Even the cold wind on her face didn't feel so cold anymore. Afraid that Chen Lu would continue to tease her about this, she simply pretended to be angry, picked up Duo Duo, and left.

That's why this silly guy never throws a tantrum. He's pretending to be angry, but after taking a few steps, he'll secretly look back to see if Chen Lu is following.

If Chen Lu walks slowly, she walks slowly too. If Chen Lu stops deliberately, her speed immediately slows down to that of a snail.

He's so silly and clumsy, he can't even act like it.

Chen Lu suppressed a laugh, following behind with a smug look on his face, feeling incredibly pleased with himself.

Kissing is like dating; if only one person initiates, it's nowhere near as satisfying as when two people are entwined and caressing each other.

Although Liang Zhirou's progress was a bit slow, she clearly never intended to leave him hanging and had always tried her best to cooperate.

Love and desire are inseparable. Sometimes, when love reaches a certain point, one will naturally want to do something more intimate.

Verbal expression is obviously not as simple and direct as that.

Coming to his senses, Chen Lu quickly chased after her. Even though he knew Liang Zhirou was faking it, he still politely coaxed the simpleton, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Please forgive me since I'm being so sincere."

"Hmph~ Fine then!"

Liang Zhirou smiled and took Chen Lu's arm, leaning all her weight on him, seemingly forgetting that she had been pretending to be angry just a second ago.

"Next time, you can put on a cold face and wait a few seconds before answering me. That should make it look more convincing," Chen Lu suddenly said halfway through the walk.

"Yeah......"

The girl's mouth was slightly open, her clear, bright eyes blinked, and she looked as if she had suddenly realized something.

I'm home.

Liang Zhirou took off her down jacket, then helped Chen Lu, who looked lazy, take off his coat, and turned around to hang them on the hanger together.

"Why did I have to go and walk Duoduo? It's exhausting. I feel like I'm the one walking me, not the other way around."

Chen Lu couldn't help but let out a wail, walked to the sofa, and collapsed onto it, remaining motionless like a dead fish.

“We didn’t go very far…” Liang Zhirou glanced at the time and was startled to see that it was already past twelve o’clock. She quickly said, “You should rest first. I’ll go and prepare the filling.”

He nodded in agreement, but Chen Lu was still reluctant to let Liang Zhirou do so much work by herself. After lying down for less than two minutes, he stood up unsteadily, picked up Duoduo, who was huddled on the balcony, and carried it to the feeder, poured out a bowl of cat food and handed it to it.

When he arrived in the kitchen, Liang Zhirou was wearing her black turtleneck sweater, sleeves rolled up, chopping meat with a "duang duang" sound. Her arms were delicate and tender, like a piece of tender lotus root, yet her knife skills looked incredibly nimble.

This simpleton doesn't mind the trouble. Just because he thinks that meat made by a meat grinder doesn't taste as good as meat chopped by himself, he has to bring it back and chop it into minced meat before wrapping it.

Chen Lu hugged the girl from behind, buried his nose in her neck, and took a deep breath.

"You smell so good."

He reached out and rubbed the girl's fingers a couple of times; the calluses on his hands had improved considerably.

Constantly urging her to take care of her skin has actually had some effect.

Liang Zhirou raised her arm and sniffed twice. "Really... I can only smell meat."

She had no idea why Chen Lu liked to smell her so much every day, even though she couldn't smell anything herself except for the scent of shampoo when she had just washed her hair.

The girl suddenly pursed her lips proudly and smiled secretly. Chen Lu probably still doesn't realize that the shampoo she's using now has a scent he likes.

Actually, it's easy to guess. Chen Lu will often smell her hair when he encounters a scent he likes, and less when he encounters a scent he doesn't like.

Girls often change their shampoos, and after being together for so long, Chen Lu had pretty much guessed which scent he liked.

"Nonsense, you smell wonderful." After inhaling the girl's fragrance, Chen Lu said softly, "I'll help you."

"Aren't you tired? I can do it myself."
