Chen Lu was already drenched in sweat.

He was still researching the location and procedures...

Why so suddenly?

That idiot is just going to engage in a blitzkrieg with him; he really has no sportsmanship whatsoever.

"If you have something to do, that's fine, we can do it another day..."

Seeing that Chen Lu hadn't spoken for a long time, Liang Zhirou spoke again in a low voice.

"I..." Chen Lu was about to say that he suddenly remembered something, but he stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

What's said can't be taken back.

Moreover, not only would Liang Zhirou be heartbroken if she suddenly changed her mind, but even if this simple-minded person couldn't react, her cunning advisors would definitely notice something.

If this idiot really intends to propose, Lin Miaomiao and Liu Yan will definitely be involved.

When the two of them get together and discuss it, they might just discover that he was actually planning to propose as well.

And then there's Chen Mo, who's most likely a double agent who's just watching the show from the sidelines.

Chen Lu turned his head and saw the girl's somewhat forlorn face. His previously jumbled thoughts suddenly vanished, and he subconsciously whispered:

"I'm free tomorrow. If you want to go to the amusement park, let's go. Last time we had to keep an eye on Xiaomeng the whole time, so we didn't get to ride a lot of the rides."

Liang Zhirou was stunned for a moment, then the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and she slowly leaned her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes with a sense of dependence and comfort.

The girl's long hair was still a little damp, with a few stray hairs clinging to his neck, feeling slightly cool.

After a moment of calm, Chen Lu managed to regain his composure from his initial panic.

It's just that we were hit first, what's there to be nervous about?

Is Master Chen so easy to deal with?

No matter how much Liang Zhirou resisted, she had no choice but to stay obediently in the pot.

He still has one night to prepare, and he can intercept Liang Zhirou before she makes a move.

Thinking of this, he suddenly paused for a moment.

What if... Liang Zhirou really just planned to go out and have fun?

They're both homebodies, and haven't gone out for a while. Liang Zhirou had a great time at the amusement park before.

But he didn't dare to gamble. If he had to ask Liang Zhirou to take the initiative again when he proposed, he would feel awkward for a long time.

What's the story behind this sudden chain of suspicion?

He felt Liang Zhirou pointing a gun at his heart, but he didn't know if this simpleton actually intended to shoot.

After much deliberation, Chen Lu finally decided to move the proposal to tomorrow—regardless of whether Liang Zhirou actually had any plans to propose.

He didn't want to gamble on whether Liang Zhirou's gun was loaded or not; he decided to just fire.

......

That night, late at night, Liang Zhirou ran to the balcony, hugged Duoduo in her arms, and whispered on the phone with Xiao Xunfang for a long time.

Summer nights are hardly quiet; the chirping of insects can sometimes drown out the girl's soft voice.

Chen Lu was certainly not idle.

At that moment, he was leaning against the bed, staring intently at his phone.

Chen Mo: "Brother! How long are you going to keep dragging this out? My sister-in-law is beautiful and virtuous. Aren't you afraid she'll run away if you don't hurry up and marry her?"

Chen Lu: "Tomorrow."

Chen Mo: "Okay, okay."

Jiang Chao and Li Sinian both sent a question mark.

Chen Lu: "I plan to propose tomorrow after we finish playing at the amusement park, when we go out for dinner. I have things to do during the day, so could you guys help me find a Western restaurant and talk to the owner?"

Jiang Chao replied after a while: "Then let's just book the whole restaurant. It'll be convenient to buy whatever we want then."

Chen Mo: "...It's so good to be rich."

Looking at the message Chen Mo posted in the group, and her Lelouch profile picture, Chen Lu scoffed disdainfully.

Whether this guy is a fun-loving person or a mole who has defected to Liang Zhirou, letting her know false information will definitely benefit his marriage proposal plan.

A smug smile crept across Chen Lu's lips as he entered the group chat where Chen Mo wasn't present, his fingers continuing to tap the screen rapidly.

Chen Lu: "That was just a drill."

Chen Lu: "Now I'll start talking about the real proposal plan."

Jiang Chao: "Could you please explain why this is happening so suddenly?"

Chen Lu: "I feel like Liang Zhirou is going to propose to me. No way, I have to propose to her first."

After he finished speaking, he tagged Jiang Chao again: "You're such a damn bastard. You sleep next to Liu Yan every day, didn't you realize that your wife had already defected to the enemy? I swear on my life, Lin Miaomiao and Liu Yan definitely know about this."

The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. All the recent strange behavior of these people suddenly made sense.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and no one sent any more messages for a long time.

After a while, Jiang Chao said, "Baby, if you think about it this way, didn't she also not realize that I was plotting this with you?"

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment.

That seems to make sense.

Li Sinian: "No, didn't you guys see what he said? What? I found out that Liang Zhirou seems to be proposing to me?"

Li Sinian: "Holy crap, I can't take it anymore! Chen Lu, you fucking deserve to die! I've never seen a girl like this in my life!"

"There are enough guys in our school who want to confess to Liang Zhirou to circle the entire campus. A bunch of them can't even get a word in edgewise, and now she's going to propose to them?"

Li Sinian: "If this gets out, those people will be jumping off rooftops! I'm worried you'll suffer, but seeing you having so much fun makes me feel bad too, damn it!"

Jiang Chao: "...I suddenly don't want to help him anymore."

What are these two doing, acting crazy?

Chen Lu mentally complained and continued, "It's impossible to come up with a better design on the spot. I'm planning to set off a fireworks display at the amusement park, like the ones at Disneyland."
