Chen Lu didn't know when he fell asleep. In his dream, he was driving a Gatling Danger and fighting Godzilla. He suddenly woke up halfway through the battle.
He groggily opened his eyes; the room was already bright with daylight, and he could faintly hear birds chirping.
The sunlight outside the window was so bright that he squinted again.
Just as he was about to sit up, he realized that his arm was being pressed down. Looking down, he saw that Liang Zhirou was still sleeping in his arms.
This angle perfectly shows off her beautiful collarbone.
The girl was nestled obediently on his shoulder, her long hair spread out on the bed, sleeping in a slightly messy state, her chest rising and falling evenly with her breathing, looking utterly adorable.
Although Liang Zhirou had stayed overnight several times before, this was the first time Chen Luzhen had ever seen such a scene.
He had just woken up when he saw such a beautiful girl sleeping soundly in his arms, completely unguarded.
This is way more sci-fi than driving a dangerous scooter, isn't it?
Chen Lu suddenly wondered if he was dreaming.
He didn't believe it before when he saw online that waking up together was more romantic than sleeping together, but now he completely believes it.
The warmth of waking up to find your loved one right in front of you is truly indescribable.
But come to think of it, this silly goose is actually sleeping in with him.
Chen Lu was quite curious, so he moved closer to observe his girlfriend's sleeping face more closely.
He was still a little smug, thinking that he had finally woken up before Liang Zhirou.
Until he saw the girl's delicate, curled eyelashes tremble slightly.
Well, so he was just pretending to be asleep.
"You were awake a while ago?" he asked in a low voice.
The girl closed her eyes tightly and did not answer.
Can I kiss you?
"......"
"I didn't brush my teeth."
"..." Liang Zhirou still didn't react.
Chen Lu fell silent.
After a long while.
Liang Zhirou's eyelids suddenly twitched, as if to say, "Why aren't you kissing me yet? I've been waiting for ages!" But she immediately regained her composure.
Chen Lu laughed and reached out to poke her cheek. "You've already given yourself away, why are you still pretending?"
"Hmm... I really fell asleep." Liang Zhirou whined like a child throwing a tantrum for a while, then muttered indignantly, "I just happened to wake up."
"I have no grudge against you, why do you treat me like a fool?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Zhirou snorted and sat up, ready to get out of bed. Chen Lu wrapped her in a blanket and came over to stop her from leaving.
Her body, which had just felt a slight chill, was immediately enveloped in warmth, and she became addicted to the feeling.
"It's getting late, I can't stay in bed any longer."
Nevertheless, the girl spoke softly, because if things continued like this, she would surely be turned into a lazy bum by Chen Lu.
Moreover, the boy in the morning was really dangerous. Chen Lu had been poking her for ages. She had to protect her personal safety until her mother fully recovered.
Seeing Liang Zhirou leave, Chen Lu was too lazy to stay in bed alone. He rolled off the bed and followed her like a zombie, walking towards the bathroom together.
Just as Liang Zhirou picked up the water cup for brushing her teeth, she saw Chen Lu directly scooping water from the tap with his mouth.
She was so shocked she almost dropped her water glass. No wonder she'd barely seen Chen Lu's water glass move; was it just a glass he bought specifically to hold his toothbrush?!
Chen Lu didn't care about the girl's shocked gaze at all, and started brushing his teeth with his eyelids drooping.
Both of them were looking in the mirror, but neither of them was actually looking at themselves.
Liang Zhirou was a little shorter than Chen Lu. The two of them were wearing matching cotton pajamas and both looked like they had just woken up. Her hair was a little messy from sleeping, but it was still better than Chen Lu's, which was already frizzy.
For some reason, she always felt that the two of them looked exceptionally well-matched in the mirror.
Chen Lu's dark circles seem to have gotten worse, making him look like a panda.
Did he secretly stay up all night last night behind my back?
After a while, Liang Zhirou couldn't help but laugh when she saw Chen Lu brushing his teeth so carelessly, with bubbles all over his face.
Chen Lu glanced at her sideways. "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm happy."
No wonder Chen Lu complained; this was a feeling she had never experienced before when she woke up alone.
So this is what it feels like to live together.
Starting her day this way, she felt energized for the entire day.
Seeing Liang Zhirou grinning foolishly, Chen Lu couldn't help but chuckle twice.
Smiles are contagious. When someone smiles silly enough, it's easy for others to want to smile too.
He went to the tap, took two gulps of water, spit out the bubbles from his mouth, and then used his index finger to smear the bubbles from the corner of his mouth onto the girl's face.
"Among those bottles and jars Liu Yan gave you before, there seemed to be some facial cleanser, right? Why haven't I seen you use it?"
"That looks so expensive, how could I bear to buy it?" Liang Zhirou said, brushing her teeth, her words slightly slurred.
Chen Lu applied face wash and washed his face quickly, but girls definitely don't wash their faces that easily. So he didn't wait any longer, just shook the water off his hands and came out of the bathroom.
Washing your face in this freezing weather is pure torture.
He then glanced at the wall clock and was startled.
It was already past 9:40. Even if the two of them took their time washing up, he would have gotten up at least after 9:00.
So you went to bed so late last night that you're only waking up at this hour.
As he was thinking, Chen Lu suddenly paused, then quickly turned to look at Liang Zhirou, who was washing up, his gaze becoming somewhat stunned.
This silly guy wouldn't pretend to be asleep until after nine o'clock just because he casually complained about wanting to get up together...
Liang Zhirou usually gets up at six o'clock without fail, even more punctual than an alarm clock.
Chen Lu had already opened his mouth, but in the end, he forcibly swallowed his words back.
There's no need to ask anymore.
Because I got up too late today, I didn't make breakfast very carefully. I just fried a few eggs and that was it. Chen Lu suggested buying a few packets of instant noodles to cook, but Liang Zhirou vetoed the idea.
After breakfast, Liang Zhirou, as usual, sat at her computer desk, stretched, and prepared to continue drawing.
Just as she reached for the paintbrush, Chen Lu suddenly grabbed her right hand.
"Let's not do anything today, let's go out and have fun."
Chen Lu said in a deep voice, "If you want to go out with me alone, that's fine. You can also invite Chen Mo, Xiao Meng, or Lin Miaomiao."
Liang Zhirou blinked. "Are you going to say that I might get bullied by you if I stay at home?"
The room was silent for a few seconds.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" the girl asked curiously.
"You've said everything, what else can I say?"
"Darling, come here and let me hug you. If you hug me, I won't bully you anymore."
Liang Zhirou taught him seriously and earnestly.
Chen Lu carried Liang Zhirou to the sofa, and just as the two were about to discuss where to go, they suddenly received a voice message from Lin Miaomiao.
"Zhirou! I have so much stuff! Quickly bring your boyfriend to help me move!"
"......"
Now I don't have to worry about where to go.
