"You're talking as if we're worlds apart."

Chen Lu chuckled softly.

Even if we're separated by just a wall, I'll still miss you.

Liang Zhirou continued to whisper in his ear, gently pulling Chen Lu's arm to hug herself, and then squinting her eyes and snuggling into his arms with satisfaction, "After all, I can't hold you to sleep... Xiao Mo has been asleep for a long time, but I haven't been able to fall asleep."

She sounded embarrassed, after all, she had almost blurted out that she couldn't sleep without holding him.

"You're useless." Chen Lu said this, but his body language betrayed him. He pulled the girl over, turned her onto his side, and held her soft, delicate body tightly in his arms.

"...Well, I was never a good-for-nothing to begin with."

Liang Zhirou pouted, feeling wronged. She knew about it all along, yet this person kept repeating it over and over.

So embarrassing...

If she had any ambition, how could she have given herself away like this?

However, if a girlfriend is successful and can't just sneak over to hug Chen Lu whenever she wants...

That's too much work for her, she doesn't want to.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like being a good-for-nothing isn't so bad.

Liang Zhirou, nestled in Chen Lu's arms, went from pouting and sulking to smiling gently with her eyes crinkling before Chen Lu could even coax her.

Chen Lu was completely confused.

The bedroom gradually became quiet.

"Actually, I also had insomnia just now." After a long while, Chen Lu suddenly told the truth.

The girl nestled quietly in his arms without saying a word, but her gradually warming cheeks betrayed the fact that she had been listening the whole time.

After Chen Lu noticed, he gently pinched her cheek and deliberately breathed hot air into the girl's ear, "Are you trying to pretend to be asleep so you won't go back later?"

He bet this idiot was definitely planning to pretend to be asleep and stay, so that if Chen Mo asked about it tomorrow, it would be his responsibility.

She just came over to see me and chat, but accidentally fell asleep. I was so aroused that I didn't intend to wake her up, and she stayed with me all night.

This silly girl has really learned her lesson. If we still look at her with the same old eyes, we'll probably be fooled by her cunning.

Fortunately, her ears were one of Liang Zhirou's major weaknesses. She was startled by the sudden heat and shivered.

If you're really asleep, the reaction won't be this obvious.

After a while, the girl's breathing became more and more rapid. She couldn't keep up the act any longer, now that she was exposed like this. Finally, she couldn't help but leave a shallow tooth mark on Chen Lu's shoulder.

"Ouch...that hurts, be gentle."

“I wasn’t pretending to be asleep,” she said fiercely.

"Okay, okay."

Chen Lu couldn't help but grin foolishly; he was utterly charmed by this adorable goofball.

Liang Zhirou gave a soft hum, her fingertips gently tracing the teeth marks. "I hope my period comes on time."

Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

Even though the bedroom was pitch black, Chen Lu could still vaguely see a blush gradually spreading across Liang Zhirou's earlobes. The girl buried her face in his chest shyly and said in a muffled voice, "If... if we have a baby, we'll have to spend a lot of time taking care of the child like we do with Xiao Mo, and we won't be able to hold each other like this every day."

Ever since she learned that Chen Lu wasn't against having a child, she had felt a bit conflicted.

I've always felt that having a baby would be wonderful, but I haven't had enough time to enjoy my time as a couple with Chen Lu yet.

I'm looking forward to having a baby, but I'm also a little worried about actually getting pregnant.

Thinking about it this way suddenly made me feel even more guilty.

Baby, I'm sorry, Mommy seems like a bad person...

"You're even jealous of your own child?" Chen Lu chuckled as he ruffled the girl's hair.

"No, I didn't..."

Liang Zhirou said in a slightly guilty voice, then looked up at him and said, "Chen Lu, you didn't keep your word."

"When have I ever gone back on my word?"

"You promised to teach me how to fold a ring, but it's been over a year and you still haven't taught me."

Chen Lu raised an eyebrow. Could it be that girls have an innate talent for bringing up old grievances when they can't win an argument?

"It's so late..."

"You're lying to me," the girl said, her face contorted with fear.

She had already decided in her mind that if Chen Lu still didn't intend to teach her, she would ask, "Don't you love me anymore?"

These were all taught to her by her think tank; they should be effective.

"Stop learning all that nonsense from Lin Miaomiao. No matter how much you try to act indifferent, you won't achieve that effect." Chen Lu poked her forehead hard.

It's safe to say that Liang Zhirou will probably never be associated with the word "anger" in her life.

Seeing her insistence, Chen Lu had no choice but to sneak out of the room like a thief and bring back a few sheets of A4 paper from the living room.

Worried that the sound of slippers would disturb Chen Mo's sleep, he even went out barefoot.

"First, fold a line like this..."

Back in the bedroom, Chen Lu had just started cutting paper when he suddenly froze in mid-sentence.

Damn, this silly girl is actually a pretty nice person. I don't need to try to trick her into giving me her finger size anymore.

Just when I was worried, Liang Zhirou delivered herself to my door.

He quickly recalled all the saddest things in his life before he could barely suppress his smile. Then he took the girl's left hand, folding it as he examined her.

"Let me demonstrate with your finger; I didn't do it right when I confessed my feelings before."

The ring was a whole size bigger than Liang Zhirou's finger; any bigger and she could probably spin it around on her finger.
