They have to take responsibility, so that at least it will be acceptable on the surface and won't have any negative impact on Liang Zhirou.
The task is arduous and the road ahead is long...
Master Chen picked up his water glass, took a sip with a calm expression, and began to envision a new plan.
Light a fire when it's time to light a fire, and add firewood when it's time to add firewood.
Chen Lu was busy with his emo when he suddenly heard the sound of a door lock turning in the entryway.
Liang Zhirou tiptoed in and saw that it was pitch black inside. Instead of closing the door, she turned on the flashlight that came with her phone.
Only then did I dare to walk into the living room by the light from my phone, ready to turn on the lights.

Liang Zhirou let out a long sigh, seemingly both angry and amused. After all, she was not one to get angry easily, so her face remained mostly gentle and smiling.
