The more you have lost something, the more you know how to cherish it.

Liang Zhirou is a case in point.

Chen Lu felt that this simpleton was thinking the same way he did when he braided his own hair into a bracelet: simply praying for his safety while giving himself some psychological comfort.

"Alright, it looks pretty good." Liang Zhirou clapped her hands, stood up straight, and smiled as she looked at the red string on his wrist.

After all, it's something you have to pay for; this red string is much prettier than the one she braided herself.

Chen Lu looked down at the safety buckle, his feelings were very complicated.

This silly girl is clearly very stingy; she's so stingy that she hesitated for half a month before buying herself a dress, even though it was in her shopping cart.

Seeing that something you just bought suddenly goes on sale makes you feel upset for a while.

But she can also be very generous at times.

She was so generous that she bought him a 200-yuan safety buckle without batting an eye.

Just as the two were about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly entered their ears.

"Seeing that you've come here alone, you must be seeking a marriage partner, right?"

"No, men will only slow down my sword-drawing speed. I don't seek marriage."

"cause?"

"My career is going quite well," the girl's voice suddenly trailed off. "I just wanted to know if this thing could grow any bigger..."

“…Benefactor, we can’t count this. Our bodies and hair are given to us by our parents, so we should just accept whatever comes our way.”

Chen Lu bit his lip to suppress a laugh, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards Liang Zhirou. The girl noticed where he was looking, puffed out her cheeks, and glared back at him.

He had no choice but to turn his head and continue watching Lin Miaomiao draw lots.

I was originally planning to have the landlady send a message to glean some information, but now it's all come to me effortlessly.

After thinking for two seconds, Chen Lu took out his phone and quickly tapped the screen with his thumb.

"Excuse me, I need to reply to my boss's message."

Lin Miaomiao nodded to the master with a guilty expression, then took her phone and walked to the side.

Chen Lu: [When are you coming to work?]

Lin Miaomiao: [Next week, I guess. I'm still sick. I lay in bed all day today, and I felt like I was going to die.]

Chen Lu: [Okay, then I won't bother you anymore. Get some rest.]

Lin Miaomiao: [Actually, I really want to go back to work, but as you know, my health hasn't been very good...]

Chen Lu: [Health is important.]

"Haha, you still think your health is important? Chen Lu is nothing, he's just someone I can easily toy with..."

Lin Miaomiao scoffed dismissively, and muttered something when she suddenly felt someone lightly pat her shoulder twice.

Turning around, she saw Chen Lu looking at her with a kind expression. Liang Zhirou was standing next to him, her cheek turned to the side, refusing to meet her gaze.

Lin Miaomiao froze there, remaining motionless for a long time.

She felt as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight—and in such a sacred place at that.

"Um... um... actually I came here to pray for a speedy recovery."

Chen Lu smiled at her, his expression as gentle as could be, and said, "Go back and work overtime."

Lin Miaomiao: "??"

This is absolutely outrageous! Nobody believed it even when I posted it on Baidu Tieba!

I traveled all the way out of the province for tourism, and I still managed to run into the boss and his wife by chance?

wrong......

She turned her gaze to the girl hiding behind Chen Lu, "Zhirou!"

"I...I just said it casually..." Liang Zhirou said, pinching her fingers with a wronged expression. "But he just bought the tickets for the next day."

Lin Miaomiao's eyes didn't regain their luster until they were almost at the bottom of the mountain.

"How did you get up here?" Chen Lu asked Lin Miaomiao.

"You climbed up here? I arrived a long time ago, walking a bit, resting a bit, and slowly making my way up." Lin Miaomiao held Liang Zhirou's hand as they descended the steps one by one. "And you?"

Chen Lu rubbed the back of his neck. "We, of course we... came up by cable car."

"Haha..." Lin Miaomiao's smile came to an abrupt halt, as she forced herself to suppress it.

If you laugh out loud, you're dead.

With Lin Miaomiao joining the group, the entire descent down the mountain was quite lively.

The two girls seemed to have a super buff while traveling, while Chen Lu, carrying a DSLR camera and acting as their personal photographer, was exhausted like a dog.

For the next two days, it rained in both Qianfeng and Jizhou. The three of them just wandered around and didn't go anywhere else specifically.

Liang Zhirou was in a hurry to go back to painting, so she didn't go to the beach for the time being. Chen Lu thought it was just right. They had to leave some places they wanted to go for their honeymoon in the future. Otherwise, they couldn't just go abroad, since they felt that foreign countries weren't very interesting.

......

It was already early April when I returned.

That day, Chen Lu was sitting on the sofa, organizing his photo album.

With the photos from my trip to Mount Tai, my current photo album isn't quite enough.

I need to stock up on more when I have time, since I'll only be taking more and more photos in the future.

Liang Zhirou did stop transferring money to that card as before, but she spent more and more money on him.

Chen Lu suddenly realized that this simpleton was actually quite clever at times.

This idiot must find it strange that their relationship is so transparent, but acting like nothing happened makes it seem like he's taking advantage of him.

So we chose a method that both of us could accept.

Master Chen has struck gold.

"I'm going out!!"

As he was deep in thought, Liang Zhirou suddenly leaned out of the entrance hall and waved at him.

"Where are you going?" Chen Lu asked curiously.

"Didn't you have something to do today? Miaomiao asked me to go out and play, so I agreed," the girl said softly. "I'll come back early to cook for you, okay? Don't order takeout."
