Unfortunately, Liang Zhirou couldn't hold back for long. As soon as she sank in, she accidentally opened her mouth due to nervousness and then instinctively started to struggle.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lu quickly went over and picked the girl up again.

"The water level isn't as high as yours," he said with a somewhat speechless laugh, clearly unharmed as he stood still.

The girl choked on some water in his arms, "I don't know why, but I can't stand up..."

Chen Luxin thought to himself, "No wonder I've heard of people drowning in shallow water." He continued gently, "The density of the human body is about the same as that of water. Get familiar with buoyancy first. Don't be too nervous. It will be easier to learn later."

Remember not to raise your hands as high as you did before; the higher you raise your hands, the faster you'll sink.

Liang Zhirou nodded thoughtfully, then her expression became somewhat blank.

"Chen Lu, I think I've got water in my ear..."

She felt that even her own voice and breathing sounded different.

"Just tilt your head slightly and jump around a couple of times, and you'll be fine."

"But I have water in both ears," the girl said seriously. "If I tilt my head, will the water from the other side get into my head?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

"Why?"

Liang Zhirou asked curiously, feeling that Chen Lu's emphasis on the word 'you' had some special meaning.

"Because... the fact that you can ask such a question means you're not just a little bit of water in your head."

Chen Lu forced a laugh as he spoke.

Liang Zhirou's cheeks puffed out more and more as she listened, and finally she couldn't help but bump her head against Chen Lu's forehead.

The next second, Chen Lu slowly sank into the water like a battleship that had been sunk.

The girl immediately regretted it upon seeing this.

"I'm...I'm sorry."

Fortunately, the water level here wasn't that deep, and Liang Zhirou's feet could still touch the ground. She quickly took two steps forward to check on Chen Lu's condition.

She had only taken two steps when Chen Lu suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her down with him.

Fortunately, she realized what was happening this time. Before going into the water, she kept her mouth tightly shut and pinched her nose with her hand. She actually sank to the bottom of the water with Chen Lu.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Chen Lu looking at her with a smirk.

She reached out to Chen Lu without thinking, and Chen Lu also reached out his hand, which she gently grasped, their fingers intertwined.

Suddenly, she saw Chen Lu make a face at her.

Liang Zhirou finally couldn't help but giggle, momentarily forgetting that she was submerged in the water.

Then I choked on a huge mouthful of water.

......

Chen Lu ultimately failed to teach Liang Zhirou how to tread water.

But this silly boy had a lot of fun, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

late at night.

The moon and stars are sparse.

Chen Lu gazed quietly at the dark, hazy night outside the window, feeling a growing sense of unease.

He used to play two games of League of Legends the night before his college entrance exam, then lie down in bed and fall asleep immediately.

Who would have thought I'd be having trouble sleeping tonight?

The days before were filled with anticipation, but now that the day is really approaching, I feel a little nervous.

Once they get their marriage certificate, the two people are no longer just boyfriend and girlfriend, but a real husband and wife.

She will take on the responsibility of their small family, which belongs only to the two of them, and the responsibility of this simple and honest future.

He was already mentally prepared, but he always felt that he hadn't done enough.

Just as I was about to sigh, Liang Zhirou's soft voice suddenly came from beside me.

"Are you asleep?" the girl asked softly, her voice as gentle as the moonlight outside.

"No."

Hearing this, Liang Zhirou finally felt relieved and snuggled up to him from behind, hugging him tightly. "I can't sleep..."

"What's wrong?"

Chen Lu asked softly, then turned over and hugged the girl in his arms. This silly girl usually falls asleep as soon as she lies down.

Just as he was wondering, the girl in his arms suddenly said softly, "I want to fall asleep quickly, to get to tomorrow quickly, and then I'll have insomnia."

"Useless," Chen Lu said with a self-deprecating laugh.

The girl looked up at him, her clear, beautiful eyes gleaming like amber in the night. "Are we really going to get married?"

"Of course, you want to back out?"

"No, I didn't."

Liang Zhirou snuggled closer to Chen Lu, rubbing her cheek against his chest, "I really want to marry you..."

Chen Lu gently inhaled the fragrance from the girl's hair, then smiled and said, "I know, go to sleep, and we'll get our marriage certificate when you wake up."

......

Early morning.

Before the alarm clock went off, Chen Lu had already opened his eyes, looking at the faint light coming through the gap in the curtains, and then subconsciously groped around the bed for his phone.

When people get up, they'd rather spend a minute looking around with their hands than sit up and glance at something.

After a while, he finally found it.

I glanced at the time; it wasn't even seven o'clock yet.

He hadn't slept well all night and was just about to hug Liang Zhirou and lie down for a while when he turned around and found that she had already tidied her hair and was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed.

Liang Zhirou noticed that he was awake, turned around to look at him, and said softly, "I made you breakfast. Let's go quickly after you finish eating."

"Don't rush, we still need to go home to get our household registration book."

The girl looked down and fidgeted with her fingers. "I... I already brought mine."

Chen Lu wasn't too surprised and continued with a light laugh, "I guessed it. I was referring to my household registration book."

Liang Zhirou seemed embarrassed. She sat on the edge of the bed and turned her face away, leaving Chen Lu with only her slender back view.

"I brought yours too..."
