"What are you panicking about?" Chen Lu found it really funny to see the girl so flustered.
It's like they actually did something.
Oh, it seems I did something a little improper just now...
Liang Zhirou took two deep breaths and her small hands trembled as she clicked to answer the call.
"Hello, Mom." Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, and she was clutching the hem of her clothes with her right hand, twisting and turning it.
A kind voice came from the phone, "Ni'er, what are you doing?"
The girl thought for a long time but couldn't think of what to say, making Xiao Xunfang think her phone had crashed.
After being called a few more times on the other end of the phone, she quickly replied, "I was just about to go buy food..."
"How is Miaomiao?"
Liang Zhirou paused, "Miaomiao...she's alright."
Xiao Xunfang sighed, "I saw on Baidu that this disease requires surgery. Alas, this poor child, his family isn't around when he gets sick."
"I heard this disease is very painful when it flares up, so please take good care of her," she added.
Liang Zhirou opened her mouth slightly, "Ah, it hurts..."
A few seconds later, she saw the words Chen Lu typed on his phone and read them aloud without thinking: "She cried all night because of the pain, and kept rolling around in pain."
She realized something was wrong halfway through her reading, but when she stopped, she didn't know how to explain it back, so she could only finish reading with her eyes closed. After finishing, she quickly glanced at Chen Lu, feeling both ashamed and annoyed.
Why doesn't this person let go of any opportunity to bully her?
Upon hearing this, Chen Lu couldn't hold back any longer and bit his lip hard to stop himself from laughing out loud.
He felt that his lips hurt more than Lin Miaomiao's.
In his mind, Lin Miaomiao officially became a useful wingman, just like Jiang Chao.
Xiao Xunfang gave a few more instructions and then hung up the phone, finally allowing Liang Zhirou to relax. As if she had just run 800 meters, she collapsed weakly onto the edge of the bed.
This simpleton clearly couldn't lie; he stammered as he spoke, and his cheeks were slightly flushed.
Liang Zhirou let out a deep breath, lay down on her back, and then leaned against Chen Lu with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
"I feel like I've turned into a bad kid..."
"Congratulations on becoming a mature adult, the kind who sneaks out at night without telling her parents," Chen Lu continued to tease her.
For some reason, Chen Lu, who hadn't felt anything about it before, suddenly found it a bit exciting.
"You still dare to talk back!" Liang Zhirou bit his shoulder, then buried her face in his neck. "You've corrupted me."
Although she only stayed behind because she didn't want Xiao Xunfang to worry, she still felt like she had done something wrong.
Her cheeks were really hot; I didn't know if it was from shyness or a cold.
Chen Lu didn't take it seriously. "If you don't join me in this mess, who else can you join me in? I advise you to give up struggling now. You are destined to be corrupted by my evil self."
He was just about to pick up his phone to check the time when he saw a call from his mother.
This time, he sat up with a start, and Liang Zhirou was taken aback by his reaction.
However, Chen Lu did not answer the phone immediately. Instead, he waited a little longer before asking in a groggy voice, "Mom, what are you doing so early in the morning? You woke me up in the middle of my sleep."
In stark contrast to the stammering Liang Zhirou, he lied without batting an eye, displaying an air of effortless mastery.
Wang Xiaoxia asked excitedly, "Your dad said you're going to give a speech at school at the end of the month? Is that true?"
"Of course it's true. The school doesn't even provide a speech draft. I've been so worried these past few days that I'm losing my hair."
"Not bad, not bad," Wang Xiaoxia praised with a light laugh.
"Your son earns millions and you're not this excited," Chen Lu said dismissively. Before he finished speaking, he felt Liang Zhirou's hand quietly placed on his waist, looking like she was about to tickle him at any moment.
Startled, Chen Lu quickly gave her pleading looks, but seeing that it wasn't working, he glared at the girl fiercely.
That's what makes it somewhat deterrent.
“You don’t understand,” Wang Xiaoxia said smugly. “I can’t openly announce that you’re making millions, but this is different. Once the video comes out, all your relatives will know.”
Just as Chen Lu was about to speak, Liang Zhirou's hand still scratched him, making him roll to the side from the ticklish feeling.
"What are you laughing at?" Wang Xiaoxia asked, puzzled.
"I'd be happy to be able to show off properly."
As Chen Lu spoke, he held Liang Zhirou's hand tightly, no longer giving her a chance to cause trouble.
Seeing that her hands were being restrained, Liang Zhirou simply rubbed her head against his waist. Chen Lu reached out to block her head, and her hands seized the opportunity to escape again. Chen Lu had no choice but to put the phone aside and use both hands to subdue this simpleton.
The two were playfully bickering, making rustling noises.
Chen Lu was speechless. This simpleton didn't learn anything good from him, but he certainly learned to be vindictive.
As if things weren't going to go wrong, the problems on the other end of the phone just wouldn't stop.
"I'm not working today, I'll come over to your place later."
Chen Lu feigned composure and said, "It's not like I haven't sent you videos before, what's so strange about that?"
"Why? Can't your mom go and see where you live?"
Wang Xiaoxia joked, "You can't possibly hide someone in your house, can you?"
"Whatever, come if you want." Chen Lu simply went along with Wang Xiaoxia's suggestion. Anyway, his mother was only enthusiastic about things for a short time. If you agreed to her request, she might get bored again in a little while.
The more you refuse her, the more she wants to come, and she might even start to suspect that you're hiding someone in your room.
Liang Zhirou sat next to Chen Lu, tapping the screen repeatedly with her fingers, and finally placed the typed text in front of him.
"Are you a pig? Nod your head and I'll let you go."
Chen Lu gritted his teeth and grabbed the girl's wrist. "Mom, I'm hanging up now. My phone wasn't charged last night."
He hung up the phone immediately after he finished speaking and casually tossed it aside.
Can you really be punished by a silly idiot?
Liang Zhirou was clearly taken aback by this situation. She stared blankly at him, then lowered her head and said sincerely, "I know I was wrong..."
Chen Lu gave her a harmless smile.
......
After a while of commotion, Chen Lu took the initiative to make breakfast and slowly walked out of the room. Liang Zhirou sat on the edge of the bed, tugged at her collar to cover the hickeys near her collarbone, and looked at the messages on her phone while tidying her somewhat messy hair.
Lin Miaomiao: Tell me in detail, what exactly happened between you two last night?
Liang Zhirou: Nothing happened.
Lin Miaomiao: Zhirou, you've changed. You never used to lie to me.
Liang Zhirou: I really didn't lie to you.
Lin Miaomiao: That's it? The organization is extremely disappointed in you!
