All I could do was cry incessantly.
......
After a while, the stairwell became quiet.
Chen Lu pulled Liang Zhirou to sit on the stairs and quietly comforted the girl.
The girl's tears had long since stopped, and she sat there without saying a word.
Am I a really bad girlfriend?
After an unknown amount of time, the girl asked in a trembling voice, her voice choked with sobs.
She looked up at Chen Lu, her eyes slightly red, glistening with tears, and trembling.
It's heartbreaking to watch.
"Don't talk nonsense." Chen Lu gently tucked the girl's hair behind her ear, indicating that she was currently accepting of it.
Liang Zhirou was silent for a while before speaking, "I... I will try my best and won't keep you waiting."
"Silly girl, every couple has their own way of getting along. Let's take it slow."

We'll definitely encounter other problems later, which we'll need to face and solve together, and ultimately enjoy peace and tranquility together.
"That's what it means to share joys and sorrows."
The girl was quiet for a moment, then Chen Lu scratched his head and said, "Maybe I was being a bit too serious, after all, we're just boyfriend and girlfriend now. But I really want to marry you in the future..."
Chen Lu was interrupted by Liang Zhirou halfway through his sentence, "You, you close your eyes."
"It's alright, I told you there's no rush," Chen Lu said softly.
With tears welling in her eyes, Liang Zhirou stubbornly shook her head, seemingly afraid that Chen Lu would think she didn't like him that much. "I want to prove my feelings for you. Close your eyes..."
