Chen Lu snapped out of his confident state and saw Liang Zhirou smiling at him.

In that instant, the girl was so beautiful that Chen Lu couldn't think of any adjectives to describe her; he could only focus on etching her appearance into his mind.

Her eyes were still a little red, which only made her smile even more captivating.

What are you laughing at all of a sudden?

Chen Lu found it strange.

Liang Zhirou leaned against his shoulder again and whispered, "I just want to laugh."

"That's why I say you're simple-minded."

This feeling, like having a cat in your arms, made Chen Lu incredibly happy; no cat could be this cute.

It's still early, it would be a shame for everyone to go home. He gently patted the girl's back, "Where do you want to go?"

"I don't want to move," Liang Zhirou said timidly.

"Don't want to move?"

"Mmm." Liang Zhirou said, pressing even closer to Chen Lu, her whole body leaning against him. "This is fine."

For her, even just being like this now is enough to make her so happy that she could wake up laughing in her dreams.

Chen Lu sighed with a wry smile. Good heavens, this simpleton really knows how to take advantage of others.

"Liang Zhirou, this is supposed to be our first date, isn't it a bit strange to just sit here like this?" He turned to look at the "ostrich" beside him and asked softly.

He also wanted to hold hands and go shopping and watch movies like other couples, or at the very least go to an amusement park or a haunted house.

It may be a bit cliché, but I still want to try it out.

Spending most of the day here is a bit too abstract.

"Just stay a little longer, okay?" Liang Zhirou raised her head, her bright eyes blinking as she looked directly at Chen Lu, occasionally gently shaking Chen Lu's arm.

"Okay, you can stay as long as you want."

It's nice to stay here.

Chen Lu changed his mind in an instant.

In this sweltering heat, who in their right mind would go out to play? That would be crazy!

"Just for a little while." Liang Zhirou smiled and continued to lean her head on Chen Lu's shoulder, not being greedy at all.

She would rather accompany Chen Lu to do what he likes to do, even if it's just a little while longer.

Her face was beaming with an unstoppable smile. This was the first time in her life that she had ever acted coquettishly with someone, and it turned out to be such a happy thing.

My father passed away too early, and my mother has been too tired ever since, so she has to be strong.

So whether it was seeing other children making a fuss about wanting to buy things when she was young, or seeing other girls hugging their boyfriends and acting cute when she grew up, she would tell herself that she didn't need those things and shouldn't even think about them.

She never imagined that she would now have someone she could act cute with.

And she seems to be really into her act.

As her smile faded, she mustered her courage to look at Chen Lu again, and sure enough, when she looked up, she found that Chen Lu had been staring at her the whole time.

Liang Zhirou silently repeated to herself that she would only be willful for a little while, and then continued to shake Chen Lu's arm.

"Quickly tell me you like me... okay?" In the end, she still managed to say such an awkward sentence.

"I like you," Chen Lu said earnestly.

"Can you continue to like me?"

Chen Lu didn't understand what this silly guy was doing, but he still immediately replied, "I will always love you."

"I want to stay here all day."

"good."

The girl smiled foolishly for the first time, then said, "I want to eat ice cream..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Lu stood up. "You wait here, I'll go buy it for you."

Liang Zhirou was startled and quickly pulled Chen Lu back to sit down, saying, "You, you should at least refuse."

Chen Lu frowned and tilted his head to look at her.

"Hey, that's weird, Liang Zhirou, what's wrong with your thought process?"

Liang Zhirou herself felt guilty and said in a very low voice, "It feels unreal. You agreed to everything I asked for. It's like a dream."

These were all feelings she had never experienced before, and things she never even dared to imagine.

"You're really something." Chen Lu couldn't help but laugh and poked her forehead hard. "You should give me something in return."

The girl paused for a moment, then became nervous when she heard about the promised benefits. "This is real now."

"Silly boy."

Chen Lu was speechless, then smiled and brushed aside Liang Zhirou's bangs, silently gazing at her.

He saw the girl's beautiful eyes trembling slightly, and he could see his own smile reflected in them.

"Actually, I'm just like you, pretty silly. As long as it makes you happy..."

After a moment, Chen Lu continued with utmost seriousness:

"Even if you want the stars, I'll pluck them down for you."

......

The two then stayed at the stairwell where no one passed by until noon before slowly walking out of the startup base.

Liang Zhirou clearly had absorbed enough energy from Chen Lu and looked very satisfied.

Chen Lu had been maintaining a position that made it comfortable for the girl to lean on, and now his whole body was a little sore.

Seemingly noticing that Chen Lu was uncomfortable from constantly shaking his shoulders, the girl stood in front of him, looking embarrassed. "I was wrong... I didn't know you were feeling so uncomfortable."

Chen Lu's acting was so good; if she had noticed anything beforehand, she wouldn't have stayed for so long.

"It's nothing," Chen Lu said lazily. "I'm experiencing both pain and pleasure."

After saying that, he reached out his hand to the girl and clenched his five fingers in the air.

Liang Zhirou glanced around, then had no choice but to obediently place her hand on it.
