The next day, the last day of September.
After lunch, Chen Lu sat lazily on the sofa looking at his phone, occasionally chuckling to himself.
He never imagined he would one day be trending on social media. He wondered how those who praised his good looks would feel seeing him smiling like a freak.
He suddenly noticed that his lips were peeling. He licked them with his tongue to pinpoint the location, then bit down and tore off the small piece of skin.
Nothing happened.
As autumn approaches, some people who don't like to drink water often experience dry lips, which may even peel frequently.
Chen Lu was one of them.
This situation naturally did not escape Liang Zhirou's notice.
"I brought you lipstick," Liang Zhirou said, suddenly putting down her paintbrush halfway through her painting. Xiao Xunfang didn't need her care much anymore, so she usually came to the rented apartment after class during the day and went home in the evening.
Both of them tacitly agreed that as long as they didn't sleep together at night, they weren't living together and were still good girls.
She had barely finished speaking when she walked to the coffee table and reached into her bag, rummaging through it.
"Just bought it?" Chen Lu asked curiously.
Liang Zhirou looked up at him in surprise, her stunned and astonished expression becoming more and more adorable. "How did you know?"
Chen Lu said helplessly, "Because you would never buy it for yourself."
After being seen through, the girl pursed her lips shyly, tore off the plastic wrapping of the lip balm, unscrewed the cap, and then handed it to Chen Lu.
Chen Lu, who was happily looking at his phone, frowned instantly after smelling the fragrance of the lip balm.
It has a floral scent.
"You keep it for yourself, I don't like wearing this stuff." Chen Lu leaned back; he didn't like the smell.
Liang Zhirou looked somewhat embarrassed, "You don't usually like to drink water..."
She discovered that her boyfriend sometimes acted like a child and needed to be coaxed.
"Who said I don't drink water? Aren't drinks and watermelon water-free?" Chen Lu retorted.
Liang Zhirou wasn't in a hurry at all. She sat down next to him and said softly, like she was coaxing a child, "How about applying it only once a day?"
As she spoke, she took Chen Lu's arm, saying, "Please?"
"No need to apply it." Chen Lu licked his lips with his tongue. "Look, my lips aren't dry anymore."
He really hates this stuff, mainly because Wang Xiaoxia forced him to apply lipstick to his head too many times when he was a child, so he has a bit of a rebellious streak now.
"Apply it every two days?" Liang Zhirou continued to lower her expectations, and she couldn't help but wish that Chen Lu was as gullible as she was.
There's no need for such trouble.
"I won't apply it then."
"What if I give you something in return..." Liang Zhirou lowered her head and said in a very low voice.
She felt like her earlobes and cheeks were burning hot. She was even selling her body to coax Chen Lu into applying lipstick. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was begging him for something!
Chen Lu perked up and turned to look at her. "What are the benefits?"
"I'll kiss you a few more times later."
Chen Lu raised an eyebrow, "You're using this to test your cadres?"
Liang Zhirou became increasingly angry after hearing this. She didn't say anything, but simply held Chen Lu's hand and finally placed it on her thigh.
She was wearing summer pajamas and sitting on the sofa, with a section of her thigh showing.
"Is...is this okay?"
The girl's voice trembled with nervousness, and she turned her face away, not daring to look at Chen Lu. She had regretted it countless times since Chen Lu tricked her into buying matching pajamas.
She bet that when Chen Lu advised her to buy pajamas, he had already laid the groundwork for this situation.
Chen Lu felt the smooth touch, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. His right hand kept wandering around restlessly, but unfortunately, it could go down but was stopped from going up.
But it was still pretty fun.
"Are you done yet?" Liang Zhirou's voice trembled slightly. Her legs were held down by Chen Lu, so she couldn't run away and could only lean helplessly on Chen Lu's shoulder.
Chen Lu simply pulled the girl's slender and long legs onto his lap, saying, "It's a long time. I could play with these legs for a year."
I've always thought these chubby legs were good-looking, but now that I've actually tried them out, I find they're even more exaggerated than they appear.
When he watched Fate before, he thought the classic phrase "legs to play with for years" was an exaggeration, but now he completely understands it.
Even a year is considered conservative; he could be craving those clumsy legs forever.
"Lipstick..."
Liang Zhirou still remembered the important matter, picked up the lipstick and looked at him with a blush.
Chen Lu didn't have time to think about that right now. "I'm busy. I'll apply it later."
The girl bit her lip, feeling wronged and resentful. This person only knew how to bully her...
Just as Chen Lu was wondering why Liang Zhirou wasn't saying anything, he suddenly saw her applying the ointment herself.
He found it strange, and before he could speak, Liang Zhirou wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his.
A few seconds later, she slowly moved away and looked at Chen Lu, who was in shock.
"How about I apply it for you like this, once a day?" the girl asked softly, turning her face away.
Chen Lu felt the lipstick on his lips. His gaze was fixed on the girl's soft lips. His heart was pounding. He swallowed and said, "Anytime is fine."
He suddenly realized that he seemed to be about to be killed by the frog.
Fine, let them kill us if they want...
I'd be happy to.
We can talk about boiling frogs later; we're enjoying ourselves here and don't miss home at all.
Apply it again.
