The alley was dark and unusually quiet, but at the brightly lit entrance, there were still many pedestrians coming and going, bustling about, as if it were a completely different world from this side.
Chen Lu turned his gaze back and gently took the girl's fingertips in his hand.
Even though it was very dark here, Liang Zhirou's hands still looked fair and clean, with slender and long fingers and smooth, round nails. Although they looked thin, they felt soft to the touch.
Her hands were as soft as tender shoots, and her skin as smooth as cream.
I have a strange urge to put it in my mouth and lick it.
This silly guy could totally use his own hands as subject matter for his drawings; it would be a shame if he didn't become a hand model.
Seeing that Chen Lu was examining her hands like they were treasures, Liang Zhirou felt a little embarrassed and asked in a trembling voice, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Your hands are so beautiful, why can't people look at them?" Chen Lu retorted.
"Then you see..."
Chen Lu felt that her words were not quite accurate, so she corrected herself: "No, you can't let anyone else see it, only your boyfriend can see it."
Liang Zhirou blinked twice, then nodded emphatically, "Okay~"
Chen Lu chuckled, took the girl's hand, knelt down in the night, slowly lowered his head, and very gentlemanly placed a kiss on the back of her hand.
Perhaps it was a bit too serious, but since this silly girl rarely had such a wish, it was something that girls her age should naturally have.
Then he definitely has to do his best.
His girlfriend hasn't even turned 20 yet; she shouldn't have been forced to be so mature by life.
Just as Chen Lu was thinking this—
Liang Zhirou was truly stunned.
This is a scene she, as a girl, has always dreamed of experiencing.
Chen Lu was originally a very handsome type, and his serious yet gentle actions just now were really hard for her to handle.
The moment Chen Lu's lips touched the back of her hand, Liang Zhirou's heart skipped a beat.
Just like the night the two met.
It's often said that the initial excitement fades over time when people are together.
But when she saw Chen Lu, her heart would still race uncontrollably. Even after knowing each other for so long, this flutter of emotion remained buried deep in her heart, like a cup of sake that, instead of fading with time, grew stronger and more lingering.
Perhaps it won't dissipate much until the two actually get married? Or maybe it will remain for ten or twenty years, or even longer...
Liang Zhirou didn't know.
All she knew was that she was beyond saving.
"So handsome..."
In the silence, Chen Lu seemed to hear the girl's soft voice.
"What did you say?" He looked up.
"I said you're so handsome," Liang Zhirou repeated shyly in a low voice. Seeing Chen Lu staring at her blankly, she quickly lowered her head. "Don't look at me like that, I'm so embarrassed..."
It's not that she wasn't reserved; it's all Chen Lu's fault for being so good to her and making her like him so much.
That's right, it was Chen Lu who was seducing her and lusting after her body.
What else could she do? She was just a victim, a helpless girl.
Even if Chen Lu suddenly says he wants to take her home, kiss her hand every day, or do something even more outrageous...
I guess I'll just have to give in to him?
Master Chen had no idea that the frog's CPU had been completely burned out. He just chuckled to himself. Over the years, he had received countless compliments about his appearance, but hearing them from Liang Zhirou's mouth was the one that made him the most proud.
This is the first time since the two of them met that this silly girl has personally praised him for being handsome.
Just as he was about to get up, he saw the girl extend her other hand.
"What's wrong?"
"This hand is jealous, it wants to..."
"Okay, okay~"
Just like before, Chen Lu kissed the back of the girl's other hand.
He then got up, pressed the blushing girl against the wall, breathed hot air into her ear, and said with a wicked smile, "I think your mouth must be jealous too."
Seeing the girl tremble as usual from the heat, he was about to bring his lips to hers when Liang Zhirou pressed her fingertips against his lips and said sweetly:
"You guessed right, but we'll have to wait until we get home to talk about that..."
Holy crap, this idiot is getting better and better.
Chen Lu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of a young couple embracing tightly and kissing each other in the darkness at the other end of the alley.
Is this a competition to see who is more perverted?
He couldn't help but mentally complain, thankfully he had only kissed the back of his hand.
Just as he finished complaining, he heard Liang Zhirou urging him in a low voice, "Hurry up, hurry up..."
Chen Lu was pushed into a dark alley by Liang Zhirou, and the two walked down the street as if nothing had happened.
He, as the master of boiling frogs, remained calm, but Liang Zhirou's blush wouldn't go away.
As they moved closer to a more crowded area, the girl hugged his arm tighter and tighter, as if she wanted to shrink herself into his embrace.
"You've seen huge crowds at comic conventions before, are you still afraid of this many people?"
"I'm not scared, it's just... a little uncomfortable."
After saying that, Liang Zhirou rested her head on Chen Lu's shoulder and said softly, "I was scared when you weren't around."
"Just treat strangers as NPCs." Chen Lu glanced around nonchalantly. "Actually, everyone you meet is a reflection of yourself. The opinions others have about you are just your own thoughts."
The girl shuddered. "Don't say such scary things so late at night..."
