Feeling the cool breeze, Liang Zhirou felt much less stuffy.
She couldn't help but wonder what sleeping position she was in that led to such a dream.
I really don't want to wake up.
I don't want to at all.
Just then, Chen Lu's phone rang, making her very nervous.
Is this some kind of push to get him to go back...?
"My mom," Chen Lu said, then answered the phone.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"How come you lost yourself while trying to send someone off?" Wang Xiaoxia said irritably.
Because they were so close, Liang Zhirou could hear the voice on the phone.
Unconsciously, I gripped the spatula tighter.
"I forgot to report to the organization that I'm having dinner at her house tonight. I hope the organization will approve."
"Okay, I was just about to tell you that your dad and I went out for hot pot and that you should find somewhere else to eat by yourself."
Hearing this, Chen Lu felt as if a stone was stuck in his heart.
The girl continued cooking.
Chen Lu watched her retreating figure, savoring the feeling of being hugged just now.
......
Before long, several dishes were served.
At Chen Lu's insistence, Liang Zhirou still cooked the fish into soup.
A bowl of fish soup, a plate of hand-torn cabbage, and braised eggplant.
The braised eggplant was made by Chen Lu.
This dinner was quite lavish for Liang Zhirou.
The three of them sat around the small dining table and ate together.
Liang Zhirou became increasingly nervous. She had never imagined that she would have dinner with her mother and another boy.
She lowered her head, afraid to speak, lest Xiao Xunfang ask her something.
The intimate contact that happened unintentionally in the kitchen while her mother was away has left her cheeks flushed.
She looked so delicate and charming, and Chen Lu was completely mesmerized.
"Come on, Auntie, try what I made." Chen Lu didn't serve her any food, but instead pushed the dishes he made in front of Xiao Xunfang.
Enthusiastic, but also very measured.
"You silly child..." Xiao Xunfang muttered, but still showed a happy smile and took a bite.
He nodded repeatedly, "You can cook?"
Liang Zhirou also secretly took a bite, and then quickly took another bite.
Chen Lu suppressed a laugh and said nothing. Suddenly, he felt that it was a bit ridiculous of him to have gone and learned to cook Mo Yuqing's favorite dishes in order to make her happy.
Isn't it true that some people like to eat whatever they make or how it's prepared?
If we disregard the porridge, this was also the first time Chen Lu had tasted Liang Zhirou's cooking.
It was really delicious, and it seemed like I had specially modified it to suit my own taste.
Clearly, this simpleton remembered all the tastes and preferences he mentioned during casual conversations.
"Eat more," Chen Lu said to Liang Zhirou.
The girl nodded, noticing that Chen Lu had only poured two spoonfuls of fish soup onto the rice, and asked, "Don't you like eating fish?"
"dislike."
"Why?"
"It has thorns."
"So you like to eat boneless fish?"
"I don't like it either."
Liang Zhirou was confused and couldn't help but ask again, "Why?"
"Boneless fish don't taste good."
"......" Liang Zhirou had never been so speechless before.
Xiao Xunfang watched the two chatting away with a smile in her eyes, secretly marveling that this was the kind of life her daughter should be living at her age...
Liang Zhirou has been suppressed for far too long... Girls of this age should be experiencing the first stirrings of love and playfully teasing boys.
Moreover, she really grew to like Chen Lu more and more the more she looked at him.
Especially when they first met, when Chen Lu was confronting the middle-aged woman, he didn't forget to push himself into the shade.
She knew it couldn't be a show; it was just an instinctive tenderness.
Chen Lu felt that he had been eating very quickly, but there was still food in his bowl.
He looked up and saw Liang Zhirou putting food into his bowl. The girl was startled when she noticed his gaze, but then continued to put food into his bowl as if nothing had happened.
"Eat it yourself." Chen Lu said helplessly. This silly girl had been so busy watching how she was eating that she hadn't touched her bowl of rice in ages.
At this moment, Liang Zhirou was as stubborn as a little ox, serving him food and soup.
Every time Chen Lu wanted to refuse, he would see the girl's blinking eyes and her hand outstretched in mid-air, and his heart would immediately soften.
Something's not right. Is this idiot starting to look for his own weaknesses?
After a while, Chen Lu couldn't eat anymore and quickly stopped Liang Zhirou from feeding him like a pig.
You can bully her all you want in the cafeteria, but in front of her mother, this is her territory.
"Don't you like my cooking?" Liang Zhirou asked.
"I love it! I wish I could eat it every day."
Chen Lu blurted it out without thinking.
"Then why don't you marry her?" Xiao Xunfang said with a smile. "I don't need you two to put in any effort, I'll handle it myself..."
Liang Zhirou was frantic, "Mom!"
Chen Lu smiled along with Xiao Xunfang, but his expression quickly became serious again. He said half-jokingly, "Auntie, you can't exclude yourself."
Your daughter will only be happy if you're happy. After all, she's a wonderful daughter, right?
He advised Xiao Xunfang in a way that Liang Zhirou couldn't understand.
"Yes, my daughter is wonderful." Xiao Xunfang looked at her daughter, who was looking down shyly, with great pride, and once again abandoned any inappropriate thoughts.
"Is Xiao Lu about to start her internship? Or is she preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam?" Xiao Xunfang suddenly remembered this and couldn't help but ask.
