The girl squinted like a cat and rubbed against his hand, "And you too."

Chen Lu was taken aback for a moment, "Silly goofball."

So cute!

......

Perhaps fearing misunderstanding, Liang Zhirou did not stay in Chen Lu's room for long.

"Mom, I'll take her home," Chen Lu called out.

Wang Xiaoxia and Chen Guanglin rushed over upon hearing the noise.

"Although this was a bit rushed, it's our custom in my hometown to give a red envelope to a son who brings his girlfriend home."

Chen Guanglin was holding a red envelope in his hand; it was very thin and the packaging was exquisite.

It was clearly prepared in advance on purpose.

Seeing that Liang Zhirou seemed a little at a loss, he smiled and said:

"It's just a few hundred yuan, a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it. It's our way of showing our appreciation for you."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Liang Zhirou nervously accepted the gift with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes.

She had never experienced this feeling of being recognized before.

Moreover, this relationship is of great importance.

As soon as the two stepped outside, Liang Zhirou gently tugged at Chen Lu's sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Chen Lu asked.

"I feel a little sorry for your uncle and aunt," Liang Zhirou said, fiddling with her fingers.

"Huh? What did you do to offend them?"

"My aunt and uncle are so good to me, and I... I even flirted with you."

The girl's voice trailed off, and it was unclear whether she was even aware of how peculiar her thought process was.

This simpleton is so insecure that he still feels like he's a burden to Chen Lu.

In Chen Lu's opinion, or any other boy, he would have felt that he was the one who got the better deal.

Surprisingly, Liang Zhirou felt that she had come out ahead.

"What's the big deal? I'll flirt with you, that's fine."

Chen Lu was very dismissive.

"You can just give them a grandson or granddaughter back then, and that will be fine."

......

Because he had some things to discuss with Jiang Chao, Chen Lu returned to school after dropping Liang Zhirou off.

As soon as I arrived at the dormitory entrance, I saw Mo Yuqing waiting there.

He sighed deeply and slowly spoke under the cold white light: "Don't waste your time on me, I'm with Liang Zhirou."

"Since you didn't respond before, why be tormented by this belated affection? Look forward, the past is the past."

Chen Lu's tone was heavy; he had already done more than enough by saying those words.

Mo Yuqing was momentarily incredulous. "...What did you say?"
