The next day, in the morning.
Inside the studio.
Chen Lu sat impatiently in the chair, his tone unusually tinged with anger.
"I said I'm not going!"
"I have a girlfriend! Mom, don't you like Liang Zhirou? Why are you bringing this up?"
"Ordinary friends? Mo Yuqing and I are not ordinary friends! Before I got together with Liang Zhirou, I pursued Mo Yuqing for seven years!"
"Would it be appropriate for me to go there?! What would Liang Zhirou think?"
"Even if you tell her, it won't work! Yes, she'll definitely understand, but she's very sensitive, so why bother doing something pointless?"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Lu turned on the air conditioner, rubbed his temples, and sighed deeply.
It's just a pointless mess.
Just then, the door to his office was slowly pushed open, and Liang Zhirou walked in with the breakfast she had brought for him, quietly placing it on the table.
Chen Lu paused for a moment, then asked softly, "How much did you hear just now?"
Liang Zhirou sat down in the seat Chen Lu had given her, and slowly lowered her head. "I heard everything."
She simply cannot lie, let alone to Chen Lu.
"Don't be sad, you must have heard me say I'm not going," Chen Lu said softly, taking the girl's hand gently.
Liang Zhirou pursed her lips, fidgeting with her fingers restlessly; she always did this when she was nervous.
"Go ahead."
Chen Lu frowned. "Why are you even trying to persuade me to go?"
He realized he hadn't changed his tone after he finished speaking, so he quickly hugged the girl next to him, afraid that he had scared her.
Chen Guanglin and Wang Xiaoxia had been calling him since morning, urging him to hurry up, which really made him furious.
I didn't want to reveal my relationship with Mo Yuqing, fearing it would affect the relationship between our two families, but I had no choice but to say it now.
After hearing this, Chen Guanglin didn't try to persuade him any further. Wang Xiaoxia, being more sentimental, said that he should at least come and see him once, because they might never see each other again.
Liang Zhirou finally raised her head, her watery eyes meeting his, and said earnestly:
"Because I... I don't want you to be sad..."
Chen Lu's pupils contracted upon hearing this, and he hugged Liang Zhirou even tighter. "It's okay, I'm not sad."
It's true that I'm not sad, but if I said I felt nothing at all, probably no one would believe me.
Even if it's another friend you grew up with who suddenly has to go abroad, you'll definitely feel a little down.
But there's really no need to go; it's best if we all stay safe and well.
“Your aunt and uncle will be sad too, and you might regret it later…” Liang Zhirou said in a very low voice, as if afraid of upsetting Chen Lu, “What if she never comes back?”
This was her result after putting herself in Chen Lu's shoes. If she were in Chen Lu's shoes and saw him with another girl, she would rather never come back.
Just thinking about it makes me breathless; seeing it with my own eyes would be torture, like having my heart slowly ripped open piece by piece.
Chen Lu pinched the girl's cheek, causing her to involuntarily close that eye. "Do you know what you're saying?"
"Fool, you big fool. Nobody's a fool like you."
Liang Zhirou was unhappy and gently bumped his head against him, saying, "I'm very smart."
"Where are you smart?" Chen Lu asked.
The girl continued:
"If you have any regrets, this incident and that girl might stay in your heart forever. I don't want that."
I want you to always have eyes only for me...
She looked at their tightly clasped hands, feeling a little embarrassed. "Am I being selfish by thinking like this? It feels like I'm treating you like my possession..."
Chen Lu kissed the girl's cheek hard and laughed, "How is that selfish? It's normal to have such thoughts. I do too, and I even feel anxious and afraid of losing you."
Chen Lu was already used to Chen Lu's quirky way of thinking.
That's one of the things that makes her so lovable.
"Don't be afraid." Liang Zhirou kissed him back, then whispered in his ear, "I'll always be yours."
The girl found it a bit novel to hear that Chen Lu was just like her. She couldn't possibly have eyes for any other boys; Chen Lu was all she could think about all day long.
He's almost become a goofball.
Yes, that's right. She was originally very smart, but Chen Lu made her stupid.
"Liang Zhirou, you're going too far." Chen Lu said somewhat awkwardly after realizing he had been stunned for a while. "If you keep doing this, I might marry you without your consent one day."
"I'm not old enough, you can't marry me." Liang Zhirou was a little smug, she remembered exactly how many days were left.
Chen Lu scoffed, "Then we won't get a marriage certificate, I'll just take you home."
Liang Zhirou thought Chen Lu was a bit silly, and that he kept calling her stupid. She snorted and said, "It's not like I can't run."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Lu hugged her tightly, pressing the two of them close together. "Then I'll tie you up and take you back. I'll make you do the laundry and cook every day, and you'll have to warm my bed at night."
Liang Zhirou lowered her head deeply, letting Chen Lu hold her, and remained silent.
Well, there's nothing I can do then. I'm just a helpless girl, what can I do?
I guess I'll just have to go home with him.
After a while, Chen Lu slowly walked out of the office and let out a deep breath.
If she really doesn't plan to come back, then go for a visit, say goodbye to the past completely, and make a promise to this silly girl.
Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Chao walked over with his car keys in hand. "Where are you going, buddy? I'm using the meter."
