Thank you for taking my hand when I was most helpless.

Thank you for coming back to me when I was being bullied that night.

“I should thank you too… never mind, let’s not talk about that.” Chen Lu gently took the girl’s hands. “You’ve worked so hard all these years, let’s walk together from now on.”

Much later.

Chen Mo sat on the sofa, happily scrolling through short videos.

Upon hearing the door open, I quickly put my phone away and took out my English book.

"abandon."

"Stop pretending, it's me," Chen Lu said speechlessly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo immediately threw his English book several meters away, saying, "You should have said so earlier."

Only then did she notice Liang Zhirou, who was huddled behind Chen Lu, looking timid.

"Sister Zhirou! You're back!" Chen Mo opened his arms and ran to hug her.

"Call me sister-in-law from now on," Chen Lu said casually, a slight smile playing on his lips.

? ? ? ?

Chen Mo froze instantly, still holding his arms outstretched.

"What did you say?!"

"She just told me she was going out for a bit, how come she's my sister-in-law now?!"

......

Early morning.

After sobering up slightly, Chen Lu suddenly woke up in bed, his right hand supporting his forehead as he pondered deeply.

Holy crap, is this a dream...?

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether what he had just experienced was a dream or reality. He took out his phone, intending to send a message to Liang Zhirou.

I only remembered the time after typing a few words.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Why send out a message at this time?

Chen Lu shook his head, inwardly criticizing himself.

Just then, his phone suddenly vibrated.

It was sent by Liang Zhirou.

Why aren't you saying anything?

? ? ! !

Chen Lu was startled. He looked up and searched through the surveillance footage before realizing that the simpleton had probably seen the text being typed.

He tapped the screen lightly, looking shocked, and continued sending messages.

Chen Lu: Why aren't you asleep yet?

The other party did not respond for a long time.

Chen Lu: Why aren't you saying anything?

Liang Zhirou: I'm sorry to say...

Chen Lu: What the hell?

A few minutes later.

Liang Zhirou: I'm so happy I can't sleep yet...

Chen Lu: I thought I was dreaming.

Liang Zhirou: I still feel that way now.

Chen Lu couldn't help but smile and pressed the voice call button, "Sleep well, goodnight, my dear girlfriend."

One hour later.

Chen Lu looked at the dim lights outside the window and sighed deeply.

Sleep my ass.
