He squeezed in from the side, reached out and pulled the girl into his arms. Seeing that Liang Zhirou didn't resist, he breathed a sigh of relief and leaned closer to say softly, "Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Compared to the icy river water, holding Liang Zhirou in the blanket felt much warmer; it was simply paradise.

“I’m not angry,” Liang Zhirou muttered.

Chen Lu curled the corner of his mouth. "Who would believe that?"

This silly girl learns pretty quickly; I bet 90% of girls have said that when they're angry.

“I’ve never lied to you…” Liang Zhirou wiped her tears with the back of her hand. “I’m really not angry.”

"Then why are you crying?"

Chen Lu asked with some doubt.

"I'm angry at myself for being so spineless," the girl murmured softly in his arms. "Actually, I really want to be angry with you, to tell you not to do it again next time, but I can't bring myself to do it..."

Liang Zhirou's tears flowed more and more as she spoke, and she sobbed intermittently, "Whenever I think about getting angry, I think of how cold you were when you came back just now... and then I can't get angry."

Chen Lu was stunned for a long time, then smiled wryly and hugged Liang Zhirou even tighter. "It's alright, it's okay. Your boyfriend is very smart. I never do anything I'm not sure about."

The night grew quieter and quieter until all the lights that had been on in the building outside the window went out, and only then did the girl in my arms stop crying.

"Chen Lu...actually, I'm very selfish."

As always, Liang Zhirou used her fingertips to draw a pig's head on Chen Lu's chest.

"If you could, I hope you wouldn't even save me, like that day when you were fishing..."

Every year there are news reports of people drowning while trying to save others, and even she, who is not well-informed, has seen many of them. It is conceivable how dangerous such an action is.

Chen Lu's eyebrows twitched twice upon hearing this.

You call this selfish?!
