After finishing breakfast, Chen Lu was just about to go and annoy his younger sister, who was about to take the college entrance exam, when he received a call from Jiang Chao.
The person on the other end of the phone succinctly said: "I'm downstairs at your place, come down quickly."
Chen Lu casually threw on a down jacket and ran downstairs. As soon as he reached the entrance of the building, he saw Jiang Chao waiting for him with his neck hunched over, occasionally swaying a couple of steps and stomping his feet.
"Why are you at my house? What's up with the company?" Chen Lu asked.
"The company is fine, but I'm busy."
Chen Lu breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
"You fucking bastard!" Jiang Chao felt his blood pressure rising. This guy probably couldn't stand not messing with him for a day.
"Isn't it cold sitting here? Let's go upstairs and talk." Chen Lu gestured with his chin toward the building entrance.
"Why go up there if you didn't bring anything?"
"It's as if you used to bring things when you came."
“I used to be in school, but now I’m working, it’s different.” Jiang Chao wanted to take out a cigarette, but his hand was immediately frozen back by the cold wind as soon as it came out of his pocket.
Forget it, I won't smoke anymore.
He pointed to his car, "Let's go up and talk."
Chen Lu adjusted the air conditioner to keep the nauseating warm air from blowing on him. "What's wrong?"
“I’m about to introduce her to my parents, and I’m so nervous. Can you share some tips? How did you meet your boyfriend?” Jiang Chao told the truth. He was so nervous that he drove to find Chen Lu.
“Our situations are different. Before we were even together, Liang Zhirou tricked me into going to her home.”
Chen Lu looked at Jiang Chaodao and saw his worried and helpless expression. He suddenly understood why Chen Guanglin said that he was a child who had grown up with great difficulty.
Perhaps for most boys, becoming a man simply requires a sense of responsibility...
Actually, there are many things that he and Jiang Chao are not yet ready for.
But life is like the ocean waves; once they've rolled in, they won't give you any chance to catch your breath.
Wanting to take control of one's life is like going against the current; he and Jiang Chao are both people who want to swim across on their own.
They were destined to feel somewhat lost.
Jiang Chao has had a heavy smoking habit since his freshman year of college. He lit one as soon as he got in the car. He rolled down the window a little and let out a heavy sigh. "Actually, no matter what their attitude is or whether they agree or not, I'm going to get married. But since it's this kind of thing, I still hope they can approve."
He had forgotten that he hadn't even taken a single puff, and habitually flicked off the ash, thinking, "Otherwise, I won't even be able to have a decent wedding in the future."
You have to help me.
"How can I help you?" Chen Lu was completely confused, thinking to himself, "Could I possibly go with you and act as your advocate?"
Jiang Chao shook his head. "I don't know. Ever since freshman year, it's become a habit to ask for your opinion first when I'm unsure about something."
He felt he could roughly guess what Chen Lu was going to say, and he came over in advance to have a chat just to put his mind at ease.
Chen Lu's lips twitched twice, and he said in a deep voice, "You'll get pretty much the same answer no matter who you ask. Your dad definitely won't give you a good look, so just bear with it."
"Let me rephrase the question: If your parents absolutely refused to let you marry Liang Zhirou, what would you do?"
"It's my wedding, not theirs."
"Understood." Jiang Chao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh right, here's this for you. Liu Yan gave it to Liang Zhirou." He said, pulling out a large red box from the back seat that looked like it contained a set of cosmetics. The packaging looked quite nice.
? !
"Did Liu Yan give this to Liang Zhirou?"
Chen Lu deliberately spoke each word slowly and deliberately, drawing out each syllable, "And now you're giving it to me? How can these two things be connected?"
"Hey, she's just being a smug jerk. She feels awkward being so close to Liang Zhirou because she's Mo Yuqing's best friend. Her mom runs an overseas purchasing business, so this set didn't cost her much. Let your girlfriend take it."
Jiang Chao couldn't help but chuckle, "Your girlfriend is really popular with everyone around you. I didn't expect even my wife couldn't resist her."
“I think so too. I feel like she’s practically sidelining us at the company. You believe me, if she were to rebel against us, she’d get a huge following.”
Chen Lu laughed along, and even scratched his neck with his hand, "When she smashes the cup, a bunch of thugs will rush out from all directions and kill us on the spot."
This simple-minded boss lady, when she's at the company, she's either helping with cleaning or pouring water for the employees.
The contrast with his boss, who was always sitting in the office slacking off, was obvious, not to mention that he even spoke to his employees in a gentle and kind manner.
What is this? In ancient times, this would definitely be considered Liu Bei's level of benevolence and righteousness.
Who wouldn't be willing to risk their life for this simpleton?
......
The two chatted for over half an hour, and Chen Lu returned home shivering, only to realize that he was still wearing his pajama bottoms.
Sometimes people don't actually need advice; they just want to chat casually.
Understanding others' needs makes offering comfort much more effective.
Chen Lu had nothing to do, so he watched "Kangxi Dynasty" with Wang Xiaoxia and Chen Guanglin for a while, and before he knew it, it was noon.
He had just stretched when his phone vibrated in his pocket.
Liang Zhirou: Chen Lu... I can't sleep, do you want to come and keep me company...?
Chen Lu: You want to be a widow before you're even married? You wish I were dead, don't you?
Liang Zhirou: Mom is going out for a walk later and won't be back so soon.
Chen Lu glanced guiltily at his parents and continued, "If we get caught, don't even mention your mom, my mom will beat me to death. I'll go back to my room later and make a voice call to keep you company while you sleep."
