What did you bring with you?
When Chen Lu saw that Liang Zhirou had brought back two schoolbags, he couldn't help but ask.
Liang Zhirou opened her mouth slightly and took a few quick breaths. "The books... we'll need them after school starts."
"...This suddenly makes me feel guilty, like I'm abducting an innocent female college student." Chen Lu couldn't help but mutter to himself. In a few months, he'd be graduating and becoming a real working adult, while this idiot was still in school...
"Isn't that right?" Liang Zhirou tilted her head, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Chen Lu was surprised that this simpleton would actually tease him, and laughed as he asked in return, "Really?"
"snort."
Liang Zhirou raised her chin, suppressed a laugh and snorted softly, "You are the one. I haven't even celebrated my twentieth birthday yet, and you've already tricked me... And instead of feeling guilty, you bully me every day."
Chen Lu's lips curled into a smile. "I'm even very excited."
Actually, upon closer inspection, Liang Zhirou has quite a few advantages. She is a twenty-year-old female college student. Her cool and aloof appearance with long, straight black hair makes her seem like a silly girl. On the surface, she is the most aloof campus belle in the history of Yuhang University, but at home, she is the socially awkward and beautiful artist Mu Zhimu.
Oh right, he was a private tutor, but unfortunately he wasn't the one teaching him.
"You...you scoundrel!" Liang Zhirou stammered, glaring at him with a mixture of shame and anger. She had originally wanted to tease Chen Lu, but she had outmaneuvered him.
She stuck her tongue out at Chen Lu, sat down on the sofa and started tidying up the books. Seeing these messy textbooks, her eyes quickly drooped.
Once school starts, I won't be able to stick to Chen Lu's side all the time...
I never imagined she would hate going to class and absolutely not want to go back to school.
He's definitely turned into a bad kid.
Mom, I'm so sorry...
"If only time could be deposited in a bank, I would save these two years and use them after graduation," she muttered to herself as she packed her bag.
Chen Lu, who was playing a game, looked up when he heard this. "You should be glad you haven't turned 20 yet, otherwise my goal wouldn't be as simple as just seducing you."
"What else do you want to lie about?" Liang Zhirou took two steps back like a startled deer, quickly hugged her shoulders, and shrank to the very back of the sofa before stopping.
"And the next few decades of your life." Chen Lu slowly got up and sat on the sofa to help her organize her books. "If you're old enough, I'll definitely trick you into coming home as my wife."
"You big liar," Liang Zhirou muttered under her breath, head down. "All you do is bully me all the time. I don't want to marry you."
Chen Lu glanced at the accounting books on the coffee table and chuckled, "You're already in danger. There are only 227 days left until your twentieth birthday."
"It's 237 days," Liang Zhirou corrected earnestly.
Chen Lu didn't say anything.
Seeing Chen Lu's amused look, she realized that he had deliberately misspoke.
It was just to test whether she was keeping track of the dates...
This time, Liang Zhirou didn't even have the thought of banging her head against Chen Lu. She just slumped helplessly on the sofa, sinking into it completely.
Feeling her cheeks getting hot, she turned to the side and buried her face in them.
If she blushes, she'll be laughed at again... Is she really that much dumber than Chen Lu?
Chen Lu turned his head to look at the "ostrich" beside him and couldn't help but chuckle, "With your level of naivety, even the Trisolarans would be moved to tears."
Liang Zhirou said in a wronged tone, "You bully me every day..."
"Oh no, oh no, come give me a kiss, it's been days since we last met," Chen Lu said with a smile.
Liang Zhirou still didn't move, she just stretched out her hand, which seemed to be her last act of stubbornness.
Chen Lu lightly pecked the back of her hand, "I haven't slept well these past few days while you were gone."
It's true. Although he hadn't been living with Liang Zhirou for very long, he actually started having insomnia every night when he found the bedside empty.
He always laughed at Liang Zhirou for being useless, but little did he know that he wasn't much better himself.
"Actually, me too..." Liang Zhirou was easily appeased with a kiss, and sat up straight with a gentle smile, asking, "Did you eat breakfast properly? I wanted to come back early to make you breakfast, but it was so dark in the morning that I was afraid to ride my bike..."
Chen Lu reached out and pinched the girl's jelly-like cheeks. "You can't keep giving away like this, Liang Zhirou. There's no girl as easy to coax as you."
"What can I do...?"
Liang Zhirou hugged him confidently, placing her hands on his back. "How about you come back and stay with me next time? I don't want to be apart from you for even a day."
"Okay, okay."
After a while, Liang Zhirou, as if she had been fully charged, gently pushed Chen Lu away and ran back to her room to change her clothes, completely satisfied.
Chen Lu blinked blankly. He had just said he missed him, but now he had just hugged him and left.
Did he get ripped off again?
Liang Zhirou changed into her pajamas, opened the door, and went straight to the computer desk. As soon as she sat down, she picked up a paintbrush.
"You're a scumbag, Liang Zhirou, you hugged me and then left right away!" Chen Lu shouted indignantly.
"No! I just suddenly remembered that I still have a design I haven't finished, and I have to hand in the line drawing today." Liang Zhirou hurriedly explained, "I haven't even had time to wash the clothes I took off... I haven't even had time to wash the clothes I took off."
Chen Lu sighed and stood up. "I'll help you wash."
Liang Zhirou shook her head like a rattle-drum, "No!"
