Chen Lu lowered his head and kissed Liang Zhirou's hair, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curving up. This silly girl is usually so dull, but she becomes very clever when it comes to things involving him.
Thinking about these things, he suddenly felt his clothes become damp and warm.
At this moment, Liang Zhirou hugged even tighter and whispered:
"I won't bother you during your social engagements, but please don't ignore me, okay?"
I'm really worried...
Chen Lu nodded slightly, "It's not that I don't want to talk to you, it's just that Jiang Chao accidentally threw my phone into the river..."
He paused halfway through his sentence.
Damn, this suddenly feels so ridiculous.
If someone else told him this, he would never believe it, even if you beat him to death.
You can't believe your phone fell into the river while you were eating a meal. Why don't you say the Trisolarans stole it for research?
“The suspect is right here. I’ll take you to ask him.” He quickly added, after all, this was just too ridiculous. Even a scumbag wouldn’t use such a flimsy excuse.
Liang Zhirou slowly shook her head and said softly, "I believe you."
She took two steps back, looked up and stared intently at Chen Lu, as if confirming the reality of what she was seeing. "None of that matters, as long as you're alright..."
Of course she believed Chen Lu's words. Moreover, she was more afraid that something might really happen to Chen Lu than that he would ignore her.
If she had to choose between the two, she would definitely choose the former without hesitation.
The girl's "I believe you" completely broke down Chen Lu's defenses, making him suddenly feel an urge to slap himself.
"Why don't you headbutt me with a rocket? After all, I should have lent you my phone to let you know right away."
Looking at Liang Zhirou, whose ears were red from the cold, he felt more and more guilty.
I don't even dare to think about how long this silly guy searched around in the dark all by himself in such a scared state, and how lost he must have felt.
"No...and your friends are still here. It would be so embarrassing for you to have your head banged against in front of them..."
Liang Zhirou turned her head to look at Jiang Chao and Li Sinian, and said, "Aren't you finished eating yet? Then I'll go back first."
"No, the event is about to end. I'll just tell them."
Chen Lu took Liang Zhirou's hand and led her back to sit at the table.
Jiang Chao had heard Chen Lu repeatedly remind Liang Zhirou of her social anxiety, so he didn't take the initiative to strike up a conversation. He simply nodded slightly, which was enough to acknowledge her.
Li Sinian was completely stunned. After all, when he first saw Liang Zhirou, she hadn't cut her bangs yet, was wearing the most ordinary clothes, and didn't know how to dress up.
Although it was nothing special back then, it was nothing compared to the awe it is now.
His feelings suddenly became very complicated.
When Jiang Chao was being checked up on, perhaps because of Liu Yan's tone, he wasn't so envious; in fact, he was somewhat gloating, just like Chen Lu.
But now he was genuinely envious.
Chen Lu even has people coming to see him personally, and they're all so good-looking.
He's been out so late, and there's not a single person who's worried about him...
Li Sinian was increasingly puzzled. They had all worked together for the past few years, so why was he the only one who had been stuck in the same place?
Speaking of his career, he chose to take the civil service exam, but because he has been helping Qin Wenxi with this and that and taking her out to play, he still has no confidence in the exam, and is even embarrassed to say that he has worked hard.
When it came to love... he was halfway through his thought when he looked up at Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou. Seeing Chen Lu teasing Liang Zhirou with a skewer of grilled kidneys, he suddenly felt that he had been left even further behind.
He couldn't help but wonder what his relationship with Qin Wenxi had brought him.
"This place is alright. You two can grab something to eat together. I'm going to be in big trouble if I don't head back soon, so I won't stay and be a third wheel." In front of someone else's girlfriend, Jiang Chao didn't offer to pay the bill. He stood up, waved to the designated driver waiting for orders in the distance, and turned to leave.
He patted Li Sinian beside him, but the other person remained standing there with his head down. He couldn't force him to leave, so he simply walked away on his own.
Damn it, you have no sense at all. No wonder you can't find a girlfriend.
Jiang Chao cursed inwardly and continued walking towards the designated driver.
"Which car is yours?" the designated driver asked, folding up the car he had been sitting in.
"This Mercedes-Benz E300."
"I'm too scared to drive it..."
"Dude, you just started working as a designated driver, right? You're afraid to drive a Mercedes E300? It's not like you have to pay for it. Just floor the gas pedal, and if you crash, I'll die with you."
"No, bro, you've had too much to drink. I'll drive it, I'll drive it."
Chen Lu shifted his gaze from Jiang Chao, who was arm in arm with the designated driver, back to Li Sinian. He also found it strange; although this guy's emotional intelligence had never been very high, it was impossible for him to be so oblivious.
The group had almost finished eating, and he brought Liang Zhirou over simply to say hello and then leave.
Why did this person suddenly stop walking?
"Is something wrong?" Chen Lu sensed something was off, sat down next to him, poured him a glass of wine, and asked softly.
Li Sinian breathed a sigh of relief. "There's something I want to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lu looked up and winked at Liang Zhirou, who was sitting directly opposite him. The simple-minded woman tilted her head at him, looking puzzled.
His temples throbbed, and he couldn't tell whether he was charmed by the cuteness or if his blood pressure was rising.
He had no choice but to say helplessly, "Please sit here for a while, we have something to talk about."
