Chen Lu acted swiftly, and that very night he went home to pack his things.
Since the dorms would no longer belong to them after the end of their junior year, Chen Lu took many of their spare clothes home in advance.
"A rare guest indeed."
Wang Xiaoxia, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, saw her son come home and chuckled sarcastically:
"Why did you come back, Young Master Chen?"
Chen Lu felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this. He sat down next to Wang Xiaoxia and began massaging her shoulders. "I've come back to see you. I've missed you so much."
Wang Xiaoxia didn't believe his nonsense at all, but she wasn't in a hurry to expose him. "That's great. You couldn't find such a good son even with a lantern."
Chen Lu knew that Wang Xiaoxia knew he was faking it, and Wang Xiaoxia also knew that Chen Lu knew she knew he was faking it.
In short, the two chatted peacefully for half a day, creating a beautiful scene of motherly love and filial piety.
After a while, Wang Xiaoxia felt that the massage was almost over, so she took out Chen Guanglin's Seven Wolves cigarette and put it on the coffee table with a thud.
"Tell me, what brings you back?"
"Mom, can't I go back to my own home?" Chen Lu was speechless.
"Aside from when you have to come back for something, do you stay home every day?"
Wang Xiaoxia looked at him with annoyance. In fact, she knew that this was related to her parenting style. She and Chen Guanglin would often go out to enjoy time alone together. Chen Guanglin did not like to restrict the development of Chen Lu and Chen Mo, so it was normal for the children to be relatively independent.
When Chen Lu was in high school, she didn't think much of not seeing him, but in the last two years, she has been increasingly looking forward to her child staying at home.
I'm getting old after all.
Wang Xiaoxia sighed inwardly.
From passionate love to the mundane realities of daily life, and now to watching the fruit of our love being messed around with.
Perhaps this is also part of love.
not bad.
Chen Lu noticed that his mother seemed a little sad, and no longer afraid of being beaten, he quickly moved closer, "During the summer vacation, my studio will be entirely online, and I will stay at home every day to massage you."
Wang Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at Chen Lu with a smile, "Come on, it's easier not to see you. Do whatever you want."
The child is an independent individual, and she didn't want to tie Chen Lu to her side.
"Speaking of which, why did you come back?"
"Pack your things." Chen Lu finally told the truth, "It's the anniversary of Liang Zhirou's father's death, and I plan to go back to her hometown with her."
Wang Xiaoxia nodded slightly. "Is it far from here?"
Chen Lu casually rummaged through the bedroom and pulled out two sets of clothes, stuffing them into his bag.
"It's quite far, I guess we won't be able to get back until the day after tomorrow or the day after that."
"Then you should go with her. I'm worried about her going so far alone."
Chen Lu suddenly felt a pang of jealousy. "Aren't you worried that I'll be kidnapped by human traffickers?"
"You? You're lucky you didn't sell the human traffickers." Wang Xiaoxia said with a smile.
After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, and her eyes curved into a smile as she looked at Chen Lu and said, "The first time your father accompanied me back to visit your grandfather's grave, he suddenly knelt down and said to your grandfather, 'Leave everything to me from now on.' I was so moved that I almost cried."
Chen Lu had never even seen a picture of his maternal grandfather since he could remember. Wang Xiaoxia's kindness to Liang Zhirou was partly due to this.
"It's touching, but it doesn't fit my dad's character at all." Chen Lu clicked his tongue, he really couldn't believe that Chen Guanglin could say such a thing when he was young.
He could easily figure out a three-bedroom apartment just by thinking about it; he'd only think about it in his mind and would never say it out loud.
......
The next morning.
Chen Lu arrived at Liang Zhirou's door and gently knocked.
The door opened immediately after just two knocks.
Liang Zhirou was wearing the T-shirt Chen Lu had bought for her, and jeans on her lower body. She looked like she had gotten up and washed up early.
She clearly didn't want Chen Lu to waste even a second waiting for her.
When the girl saw him, she nervously tidied her bangs and quickly stood aside to let Chen Lu in.
"Good morning." Liang Zhirou didn't know what to say, but said it almost unconsciously.
"Did you miss me last night?" Chen Lu asked softly.
Liang Zhirou nodded slightly, feeling rather embarrassed. In fact, she had even dreamed about Chen Lu last night...
This dream was a little unconventional.
Chen Lu chuckled shamelessly, then stopped his blatant harassment of the girl's daughter in her own home.
He took a few steps and saw Xiao Xunfang smiling at him, even the wrinkles on her face looked so kind.
Chen Lu felt a warm glow in his heart after seeing this.
"Xiao Lu, didn't your aunt tell you not to buy anything?" Xiao Xunfang said helplessly.
Chen Lu pretended not to hear and put all the things aside. "Auntie, I didn't buy these. My mom asked me to bring them to you."
Xiao Xunfang was taken aback when she heard this, and then asked somewhat uncertainly, "Zhirou went to your house for dinner before. Did she cause you any trouble?"
"My mom really likes Zhirou." Chen Lu said proudly, looking very proud. "I was afraid that she would get so excited that she would recognize Zhirou as her goddaughter, and then I would not have a girlfriend."
Chen Lu's words made Xiao Xunfang laugh. "That's good, that's good."
She was genuinely afraid that Chen Lu's parents wouldn't like their overly introverted daughter, or that they would oppose her relationship with Chen Lu because of their family's financial situation.
It doesn't matter how she lives; that's all there is to it in this life anyway. If she really drags Liang Zhirou down with her, she might as well be dead.
