Chen Lulian thought for a long time about when his birthday was, because lately he had only been thinking about Liang Zhirou's birthday.

The girl nodded gently. "Yes, today is May 14th, and your birthday is on the 26th, so there are only about ten days left."

"But I really don't need to exercise. What gave you the illusion that I need to exercise?" Chen Lu still didn't want to exercise.

"When you climbed Mount Tai before, you started complaining of being tired after just a few steps..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lu's eyelids twitched twice.

You call that taking two steps?

Goodness, this goofball didn't stop for the first two hours of climbing. Chen Lu felt that he was already quite impressive to be able to climb with him for two hours.

Liang Zhirou never expected that Master Chen's defenses would crumble so easily. Seeing that he was frozen in place and had no reaction, she moved closer to him.

She whispered seductively in his ear, "Darling~ just say yes, I promise you won't regret it..."

Liang Zhirou was a little confused.

Other people's girlfriends act cute and charming when they're begging their boyfriends to buy them lipsticks, bags, and cosmetics.

She actually sold her body to Chen Lu, all for Chen Lu's benefit...

How could such a thing happen?

Chen Lu couldn't take it anymore. The girl's sweet words kept drilling into his heart. He had no choice but to clear his throat and wave his hand, saying, "Alright, alright, I'll reluctantly agree."

"Just hold on until my birthday, not a single day more," he quickly added.

This is the rigor that a law student should possess.

"My boyfriend is so great!"

The girl immediately beamed with joy, gave him a big kiss on the cheek, and then went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Chen Lu tilted his head upon hearing this, feeling that something was amiss.

afternoon.

Chen Lu didn't go back to the company. He sat on the sofa like a wooden statue, staring intently at the computer screen, pondering the problems the company was facing.

As usual, Liang Zhirou sat in front of her computer desk, livestreaming her drawing. She doesn't like to use her microphone when she's livestreaming.

The entire live stream room was filled with soft, relaxing music, as she slowly moved the black lines across the canvas.

Noticing that Chen Lu seemed to be deep in thought, Liang Zhirou deliberately put on headphones. The living room was very quiet, except for the sound of paintbrushes gently rubbing against the graphics tablet.

This kind of scene has often occurred since the two met. Whether it is Chen Lu or Liang Zhirou, there are often times when they need to do things quietly. The two will tacitly not disturb each other and quietly enjoy the feeling of the other being by their side.

Chen Lu also enjoys this quiet time together. Whenever he gets a little tired, he can look up and see his beloved sitting there, which fills him with a sense of peace.

He let out a silent sigh and turned his gaze back to the laptop screen.

It's difficult for legitimate mobile games to survive on marketing hype and herd mentality. Creating a game with a novel theme and high quality is really challenging.

It's hard to think about.

Aside from the open-world version of the answer, he hadn't even figured out a suitable angle for the subject matter.

After a long while, the shadow of the succulent on the balcony gradually moved westward. Chen Lu had grown tired of playing with his hair and started picking his ears with an ear pick.

It can only be said that people will do anything to relieve stress when they are under a lot of pressure.

The neatly sized scraps of paper on the coffee table prove this point.

Just then, Liang Zhirou finished drawing the draft, stood up and stretched, and saw Chen Lu picking his ear. She walked up to him with interest.

"I'll help you."

She said softly.

Chen Lu glanced at the girl and said, "I'm relieving stress."

Liang Zhirou sat down next to him and gently rested her head on his shoulder. "Has the company been having some trouble lately?"

"It's not that things aren't going well, it's just that I'm not confident."

Chen Lu explained the company's current situation and what he planned to do in detail, and then sighed and said, "So if this succeeds, we'll reach the top in one step, but if it fails... we might lose all the money we've earned before."

This is the worst-case scenario. Before he even started the company, he set an inviolable bottom line for himself—no loans and no touching of his family's money.

In this way, even if I fail, at most I won't have taken a single step, and I won't end up heavily in debt or even affect my family.

He bore all the responsibility alone.

"I thought you'd encountered some insurmountable obstacle; you look so gloomy..."

After clarifying the situation, Liang Zhirou gently took Chen Lu's hand, then suddenly smiled faintly and said softly to him:

"What does it matter? I can just support you with my art."

"......"

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment.

He thought that Liang Zhirou would advise him to think twice before acting on this behavior, which was no different from gambling away the millions he had earned before, or hug him and say a few words of comfort.

There were no results.

This silly girl is clearly a little money-grubber; how could she bear to part with millions?

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Chen Lu turned to look at her. This silly girl probably didn't even know what a few million meant. "I did a rough calculation. Our family has at least six or seven million that we can actually use right now. If we put it in the bank, we won't starve even if we don't work for the rest of our lives."

"With so much money, don't you, you silly goose, have even the slightest desire to spend it? You're really willing to let me take it all?"

The girl blinked blankly, her mouth slightly agape. "Our family is actually this rich?"
