Chapter 16 I'm Right Behind You



This song is just for you, you can't keep your head down the whole time.

After several songs were sung, it got completely dark before we knew it.

The onlookers had all dispersed.

Liang Zhirou still felt her cheeks burning. There were just too many people watching, and Chen Lu had kept telling her not to lower her head.

"I've been a simp for seven years, do you know what my biggest feeling is?"

As the girl's thoughts wandered, Chen Lu looked at the streetlights in the distance, took a sip of water, and said softly.

Liang Zhirou looked at him with some confusion.

"Once you are looked down upon by others, you're completely finished."

I'm not talking about now, but you'll have to leave school sooner or later, and then you won't be able to hide in your own little world anymore.

So no matter how long it takes, you have to learn to hold your head high.

Just like I am now.

Chen Lu looked at her and gave her a gentle smile.

“We have family who love us and we are not inferior to anyone. As your mother’s precious child, you should learn to love yourself.”

These were also the words Chen Lu said to himself.

He almost became the lowest level of a simp, nearly caring more about a girl than his own parents.

"I hope you can grit your teeth and lift your head until you have the courage to look people in the eye without hesitation."

Besides, you're already doing great. Now that you're at this university, you can find a job after graduation and earn a lot of money. You'll definitely be able to give your mother a good life.

You will definitely become a remarkable person too.

"I...I want to become amazing," Liang Zhirou whispered, so softly that it was almost inaudible unless you listened carefully.

She imagined herself gritting her teeth and getting through the current days, just like Chen Lu had said, wanting to earn money to cure her mother's leg.

Supporting her own little family—that's how she sees herself as remarkable.

Chen Lu nodded slightly. "You can do it."

"Really?"

Chen Lu didn't say empty words like "believe in yourself"; after hesitating for a moment, he slowly reached out his hand. Seeing that the girl didn't resist, he gently brushed aside her bangs and looked into her eyes.

Just like the night they first met.

A gentle breeze ruffled the stray hairs on the side of her face, carrying the boy's words to her ears.

"I know you've had a tough time."

"But you must keep your head up and persevere. If you get tired halfway through, just look back..."

"I'm right behind you."
