After teasing his girlfriend enough and cuddling on the sofa for a while, Chen Lu patted Liang Zhirou and stood up just before he fell asleep, yawning as he said, "I'm going to take a shower."
I need to take a shower to wake up. I'm tired, but I promised Liang Zhirou that I would spend the New Year with her.
I don't know if valuing rituals is like liking all sorts of sparkly things—a habit ingrained in a girl's DNA, but this silly girl is no exception.
He would certainly try his best to fulfill such a small wish. It didn't matter if the New Year's Eve celebration didn't go through. Not many people care about the Gregorian calendar year anyway, but the Spring Festival is a different story.
He was thinking this when he was about to step into the bathroom.
"Wait a minute!" Liang Zhirou suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" He turned around.
"I'll go wash up first..."
Chen Lu didn't seem to care, but his eyes were still full of doubt. "Why?"
"When I shower first, it'll be a little warmer for you to shower too, since you're so sensitive to the cold..."
“Actually, it’s warmer if we shower together,” Chen Lu said with a smile.
Liang Zhirou picked up the cushion next to her, symbolically raised it and then put it down, indicating that if he said anything more, she would hit him. She then turned her face away and refused to speak to him.
She meant well, but this guy just acts like a scoundrel.
Chen Lu will never understand those who find it comfortable to take a hot shower in the dead of winter.
He might feel comfortable while taking a shower, but the chill that runs through his body after opening the door would make him want to die.
Ultimately, he hated winter.
Not long after, Chen Lu came out of the shower and had just sat back on the sofa when he saw Liang Zhirou carrying her change of clothes and sneaking into the bathroom like a thief.
It's obvious that she must have hidden her underwear inside her pajamas before coming out of the bedroom.
He's a bit silly and shy.
Chen Lu found it amusing; they were living together now, and sooner or later he would see them.
Unless you specifically hang the clothes out to dry when he's not home, but that's definitely not going to happen.
Listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom, Chen Lu had nothing to do, so he simply picked up Liang Zhirou's phone, entered his birthday to unlock the screen, opened Bilibili, and posted "Happy New Year".
This account has been running for so long, and this idiot still gets nervous even when typing. He's only slightly better at talking than in real life, and he doesn't have any of the style of a modern keyboard warrior.
So he handles most of the communication, which is obvious to the fans.
He's now the go-to operations manager for Mu Zhimu, so he'll definitely take the initiative to do this kind of thing well.
As expected of an account with tens of thousands of followers, this post garnered several comments as soon as it was published, all wishing the user a Happy New Year.
There were also some people urging her to continue live-streaming her drawing.
Because it hasn't aired since its premiere on New Year's Day, partly because he's been quite busy lately, and Liang Zhirou didn't dare to come on her own while he was away, so it's been delayed until now.
Secondly... he's a little afraid to face the comments section.
The live-streaming mishap spread like wildfire among Liang Zhirou's fans, and even now, people are still sharing his line "Let's get up together" in the comments.
You can imagine what the comments will be like when the show goes live again.
After playing on his phone for a while, Liang Zhirou still hadn't come out, so Chen Lu idly walked to the balcony, picked up Duoduo, and the two of them looked at the night view outside the window.
The surrounding area was brightly lit. Unlike usual, today every household's window was lit, creating a scene of thousands of lights shining.
This year's snow didn't pick its time at all; it fell on New Year's Day.
Such heavy snow should have been saved for the Spring Festival; that would have been much more meaningful.
The balcony was the coldest place in the house. Chen Lu hadn't been standing there long before the cold wind kept seeping into his collar, making him shrink his neck involuntarily.
Why do you think girls take so long to shower?
"Meow?" A big question mark appeared above Duoduo's head.
Chen Lu pursed his lips, "You don't know either, do you?"
He felt that this question, along with how the pyramids were built, could be included among the top ten unsolved mysteries of humankind.
Maybe I'll get the answer when I try to trick this silly guy into taking a bath together sometime.
Yes, this was just for scientific research and exploration; it wasn't vulgar at all.
While he was playing with Duoduo, Liang Zhirou, who had finished taking a shower at some point, quietly came over and stood behind him to hug him.
"What are you thinking about? You seem so focused," Liang Zhirou asked softly.
Because she had just taken a shower, she was still a little damp, with a few drops of water still clinging to her arms around Chen Lu's waist, and she smelled of shampoo.
Chen Lu cleared his throat. "I'm thinking about how to solve humanity's unsolved mysteries."
Liang Zhirou: ?
"You just took a shower, don't stand by the window, you'll catch a cold," Chen Lu reminded her, leading her back to sit down on the sofa.
He reached out and gently stroked Liang Zhirou's hair twice, slowly moving to the ends, and said with a light smile, "I'll blow-dry your hair for you."
Liang Zhirou looked very happy and nuzzled his chin with the top of her head, "Really?"
"You're so pathetic. What's the difference between real and fake? I'll brag about it for you every day from now on."
Just as Chen Lu picked up the hair dryer, his cell phone rang in his pocket.
It was Jiang Chao's phone call.
"Damn, you wouldn't believe it if I told you."
Jiang Chao excitedly started the conversation with his standard boasting style, "Guess where I am right now?"
Where?
"I'm not in Hangzhou, I'm at Liu Yan's house! I'm still physically intact, and my father-in-law didn't beat me."
"oh."
This guy previously mentioned that he was going to meet Liu Yan's parents during the Spring Festival, but judging from the current situation, he probably ended up staying there for the New Year.
I guess he hasn't reconciled with his family yet... and it's unlikely to happen anytime soon.
