"Um... it's nice to meet you."

Chen Lu cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly and continued:

"Could I leave my WeChat ID... or my mobile number? A phone number is fine too."

The girl suddenly took two steps back and looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Chen Lu was already drenched in sweat.

For so many years, it's always been others who approach him, calling him "General Manager Chen," and he hasn't taken the initiative to make friends in years.

Isn't this too rushed? This process doesn't really seem like something a child would do when making friends...

Also, wasn't this silly goose too aloof when he was little? He was so hard to approach.

"Don't be afraid! I just want to be friends with you so we can play together sometime." Master Chen quickly put on his masterful acting skills, lowered his eyes, and said in a very soft voice, "The other kids all think I'm too short, so they never include me in their games. That's why I've never had any friends..."

Actually, it's not entirely a lie. Boys naturally develop later, and his height only increased later on, so now he's actually half a head shorter than Liang Zhirou.

Chen Lu quickly got into character, and it looked like he was about to shed tears.

Liang Zhirou was visibly taken aback by these words, blinking her clear and beautiful eyes a few times, seemingly still not quite understanding. That slightly naive look finally gave Chen Lu a sense of familiarity.

"Is it okay?" he asked somewhat nervously, trying to recall how the child had spoken.

"I didn't bring any paper or pen," Liang Zhirou finally said, speaking casually.

"I'll go get it for you!"

Chen Lu was as excited as a child, and quickly ran back to Wang Xiaoxia's side, rummaging through her bag.

Ignoring Wang Xiaoxia's surprised and delighted look, he quickly ran back.

"Give."

I'm writing this to you.

After the girl finished speaking, she placed the note in her palm and began writing carefully. Chen Lu couldn't bear the humiliation of being shorter than Liang Zhirou, so he didn't bother to stand on tiptoe to look.

Liang Zhirou finished writing quickly, pondered for a moment, then folded the written note into a small star and gently placed it in his hand.

"Here, don't cry. We're friends now, and I'll play with you from now on."

Chen Lu thought to himself, "I'm older than you, okay? So what if you developed early?"

His lips twitched uncontrollably, but he still managed to say with great difficulty:

"Really? Sis... Sis?"

"Really?"

"Thank you, it's really beautiful." Chen Lu praised sincerely. He had to admit that this simpleton was indeed skillful, able to fold such perfect stars. No wonder he was able to make such a beautiful bracelet back then.

"I'm going to find my mom and dad now. I'll come back to keep you company when I'm done." Unexpectedly, Liang Zhirou already acted like a big sister. She reached out and patted his head before turning and leaving.

After taking only two steps, the girl suddenly turned back and said:

"Wait until I leave before you take it apart, or your sister won't play with you anymore."

Chen Lu nodded, silently watching Liang Zhirou's receding figure.

As he watched the other person walk away, he slowly squatted down and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He's just a simpleton; he'll always be manipulated by Master Chen.

Oh dear, in my past life, due to some minor oversights, I was completely controlled by Liang Zhirou.

But now, offense and defense have become aliens!

After scoffing inwardly, Chen Lu looked down at the little yellow star in his palm. While pondering how to slowly "bully" Liang Zhirou from now on, he unfolded the little star.

There was no phone number above, only two lines of neat and elegant handwriting:

"I forgot to mention earlier, it's also a pleasure to meet you."

"Flame Dragon Knight".

...

...

"Liang Zhirou!!"

Chen Lu was so angry that he almost jumped off the sofa. When he saw the thin blanket that someone had draped over him, and then looked at the darkening sky outside the window, his gaze suddenly became somewhat vacant.

"Dad! You scared me..."

Following the sound, he saw Chen Muxue pressed tightly against the wall, staring at him blankly.

This was the first time in all her life that Chen Muxue had ever seen her father look like someone who had drunk too much, his face flushed.

At this moment, Liang Zhirou, who was painting in the studio, quickly walked over and sat down next to Chen Lu. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Chen Lu gently grasped the girl's hands that were touching and pinching him, his breathing gradually calming down, and whispered:

"It's nothing, just a dream."

"You're such a grown-up, and you still need to call my mom to comfort you when you have nightmares?" Chen Muxue thought her father wanted to call her mother over, and said sarcastically with a wicked smile.

Little did they know that their own father was about to faint from anger.

Chen Lu glanced at her and said coldly:

"Your mother and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary today. Are you still here at this hour to witness the fruit of our love?"

"Mom! Look at Dad!" Chen Muxue began calling for help from the sidelines.

This man has already been heartless enough to kick his daughter out; the mother has to take drastic measures.

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhirou turned her head, looked at Chen Lu carefully for a while, and said seriously:

"My husband is still so handsome..."

Chen Muxue: "..."

"What? You're not convinced?" Chen Lu became even more smug, took his wife's hand, and raised an eyebrow at his daughter.

"If you're not happy, go find someone yourself. Your brother already has a child and you're still single. If you really can't find someone you like... gender doesn't have to be too strict. It's your own business, as long as you like them."

"Of course! If you really don't want your dad to support you, what's wrong with staying by your parents' side all the time?"
