Chen Lu stood there stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
Huh? There are freebies like this?
After reason regained its hold, he blinked and asked again, "Um... does Auntie know?"
Liang Zhirou nodded gently, "I told her when I left."
To be honest, Chen Lu was a little touched. One can only imagine the intense struggle Liang Zhirou went through before she took the initiative to bring this up.
And it was only because I knew he didn't like being alone that I came to keep him company.
“We both fell asleep on New Year’s Day last year, so this time we’ll ring in the new year together, and then I’ll bring you back first thing tomorrow morning,” Chen Lu said with a smile.
"And... about living together in the future." Liang Zhirou turned her head to look at the streetlights outside the window and continued to mutter softly.
She didn't know what she was thinking; she just blurted it out on a whim.
Looking back now, wasn't this just like deliberately jumping into the tiger's mouth?!
Although I still don't have a clear idea, this is cohabitation...
I'm afraid I'll be being harassed by Chen Lu every day from now on...
Now, her worry has shifted from how to tell her mother about this to what to do next.
Life is so hard.
Chen Lu's upturned lips suddenly froze, his gaze turning somewhat shocked.
"Did your aunt agree too?"
Liang Zhirou lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement. Her flushed ears revealed her embarrassment.
Chen Lu didn't say anything more, but smiled and took Liang Zhirou's hand, gently stroking the back of her hand with his thumb.
Just like when he tried to coax Liang Zhirou before, this time the progress was much faster than he had expected.
It's obvious that this couldn't possibly be divine intervention on his part; it could only be the result of Liang Zhirou's hard work and cooperation.
This silly boy is clearly so timid...
Chen Lu's lips curled up again.
Liang Zhirou really liked him far more than he had imagined.
After a long silence, the sound of the engine starting up suddenly came from inside the car.
"Don't you need to bring anything?" Chen Lu's mind was still a little blank.
Liang Zhirou tilted her head back and thought for a moment, "Everything I need is there. If I need anything later, I can just come back and get it."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly froze, feeling that something was off.
This just doesn't seem right...
This is a move-in and cohabitation arrangement, so why doesn't she need to bring anything?
Liang Zhirou immediately realized why she wasn't as resistant as she had imagined: her first reaction to cohabitation was simply that she would sleep there at night.
She couldn't help but glance at Chen Lu. Could this be something he had planned all along?
From initially tricking her into going there for a nap, to sleeping in the same bed every day at noon, she gradually got used to the feeling of being under the same roof as Chen Lu... and now they are about to live together.
Thinking about it carefully, it's all done step by step, not abruptly at all.
Liang Zhirou suddenly felt like a frog in a hot pan.
“Then I’ll take you home,” Chen Lu said.
Liang Zhirou really wanted to interrogate Chen Lu about whether he had planned this all along, but her mouth seemed to have its own ideas, answering before her brain could process them:
Okay~
Chen Lu drove through the night.
It was Lunar New Year's Eve, and most people were staying at home to celebrate. There were very few cars on the road, and it didn't feel as noisy as usual.
Liang Zhirou remained quiet the entire way, lost in thought.
The tranquil atmosphere made Chen Lu feel much more relaxed, but his heartbeat just wouldn't slow down.
He always felt that he had entered a new stage of life.
Although the two are still a completely innocent couple.
Okay, actually I'm not entirely innocent. After all, we climbed the mountain, I touched her legs, and I even used her legs before...
But living together was something he had never experienced before in his life, so he was naturally nervous and excited.
From now on, I'll really be living with this silly guy.
"What are you laughing at?" Liang Zhirou, who had been quiet the whole way, leaned closer to look at his profile and asked curiously.
"I remembered something happy." Chen Lu's silly grin deepened, like Pigsy from Journey to the West who had just carried his wife on his back.
Seeing this, Liang Zhirou was startled and leaned closer to the car window, crossing her arms and looking at him warily. "You...you're definitely thinking about unhealthy things..."
"How could that be? I'm such a proper person."
Chen Lu turned his head and gave her a harmless smile.
"......"
Liang Zhirou wanted to call the police.
......
"I only need to hold on for less than two more hours until midnight." As she walked to the door, Liang Zhirou said excitedly, "I'm not too sleepy yet, so I shouldn't fall asleep early this time."
Chen Lu smiled, inserted the key into the lock, and turned it gently twice. "I'm not sleepy either."
As soon as the two entered the door, they saw Duoduo lying by the door. Hearing their movements, she quickly raised her head.
Its activity area is still limited to the small area on the balcony, and it never goes into the living room except when it's eating.
It's really strange that they're here; it's like they've been waiting for them to come back.
Cats that have been abandoned may be more sensitive in this regard.
Liang Zhirou didn't even bother to take off her clothes before hugging Duoduo into her arms and rubbing its head. "Did Duoduo miss us?"
