"Oh... okay."
The female reporter nodded blankly, her gaze towards Liang Zhirou filled with respect for some reason.
Not only does she stay up all night every day to organize important information for her sister-in-law, but she also has to take care of a blind boyfriend. It must be very hard for her.
She's beautiful inside and out.
She instantly imagined a love story that could be written in at least a million words, a story that was both moving and inspiring.
The female reporter walked quite a distance before realizing something was wrong when she saw the photographer's suppressed laughter. But when she turned back, the photographers were long gone.
......
The sky was getting dark.
Cars along the roadside had their headlights on, their white or red lights flashing along the roadside and turning into twinkling stars at the end of the road. The sweltering heat of midsummer had gradually dissipated, and the evening breeze felt slightly cool on the face.
The rented house was very close to the school, so Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou walked there, and after picking up Chen Mo, they naturally had to walk back.
As soon as Chen Mo reached the street corner, he casually threw the transparent pencil case into the trash can, then, holding the sunflower, he walked on the curb like he was walking on a tightrope, strutting around the whole way.
Even though neither of the two people beside her gave her a friendly look.
Chen Lu really didn't want to talk to her anymore. He had gone to great lengths to pick her up and drop her off for several days, only to end up getting himself into trouble.
Liang Zhirou was alright; this simpleton seemed to never get angry. She just puffed out her cheeks with a pitiful expression, and whenever she saw a car coming, she would pull Chen Mo closer to her.
"Well, you're something else. You dare to hand in your paper early? You'll get a beating from your mom soon," Chen Lu suddenly said.
Chen Mo turned around and glared at him, "How would anyone know if you don't tell me?"
Why shouldn't I say it?
"You know why yourself." Chen Mo subtly gestured with his chin toward Liang Zhirou.
Liang Zhirou turned her head in confusion, looking at the two riddle-solving people.
She couldn't understand it at all.
"...Mom will see the news sooner or later. When has Hangzhou No. 2 High School ever had a student run out of the school gate without making the news?"
Chen Lu felt that people would only put in some effort to edit the video, and it was impossible for them to give up on the traffic just because Chen Mo was so good at creating buzz. Or perhaps Chen Mo could become the most popular person in the next few years.
Chen Mo suddenly froze.
"I forgot about that..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lu suddenly smiled, shook Liang Zhirou's hand, and said to her with a light laugh, "I just wished to be an only child, and I didn't expect my dream to come true so soon."
Liang Zhirou was still hoping Chen Mo would help her come up with ideas, so she wouldn't take advantage of his misfortune at this time; she wasn't that kind of person.
So she chose to squint and remain silent.
The girl was getting tired of standing at the school gate, so she leaned on Chen Lu in a coquettish manner and walked slowly.
"Which school does Xiaomo want to go to?" she asked curiously.
"The one you and my brother took?"
Chen Mo stretched his arms above his head, then suddenly turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, when I start school and you're a junior, I can be your junior for a year! I'll invite you to eat at the cafeteria then."
Liang Zhirou pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment, "I'm not eating at the cafeteria anymore... I need to go home to cook lunch for your brother."
That rented room had gradually become her home, even though it was a bit old and was even rented by Chen Lu.
Seeing Chen Mo standing there in a daze, she quickly comforted him, "You can come here to eat later, it's very close. Tell me in advance what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."
"I'm not going. By next year you might even have kids. If I go over there, wouldn't I just be a tool for you two to take care of the kids?"
Chen Mo made a sarcastic remark, but before he could finish speaking, Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou almost covered his mouth with theirs.
Luckily, she ran fast.
Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou glanced at each other unconsciously.
Both were worried that Chen Mo's words would reveal their plans to propose. However, they both assumed the other simply didn't want Chen Mo to talk nonsense.
As they chatted, they walked to the entrance of the old residential area. Chen Mo and Liang Zhirou stood there and didn't go in. Today, they were taking Chen Mo home and going to eat there.
When Chen Lu went back to get his car, Chen Mo quietly approached Liang Zhirou and asked, "Sister-in-law, how are your preparations going?"
Liang Zhirou looked around and, seeing that no one was around, whispered shyly, "I've bought the ring."
"Okay, don't be nervous. With me here as your spy, I'm absolutely loyal to you."
Liang Zhirou nodded her chin seriously, "I know."
Xiao Mo even taught her how to trick her into revealing finger sizes, so she was definitely on her side.
Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, listen to my advice. Don't listen to Sister Liu Yan. If you prepare for this for too long, you won't feel anything anymore. Once you're ready, propose to her right away."
She simply couldn't understand why Liu Yan suddenly said that Chen Lu had no plans to propose for the time being.
Could it be that Liu Yan was turned by her husband?
Chen Mo suddenly felt like he was playing Werewolf.
It's kind of exciting.
Liang Zhirou looked at the cars coming and going on the road, then lowered her head and clenched her fingers. "I...I'll try my best. I'm really nervous."
......
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of Lijing Garden.
Seeing Liang Zhirou get out of the car from the passenger door, Chen Mo quickly came up from the back seat and said, "Brother, if you have anything to say, just talk to me. I'm your own sister, and I'm absolutely loyal to you."
"I know. You get out of the car first, I'll find a parking space."
"Okay." Chen Mo got out of the car quickly.
Chen Lu looked up at Chen Mo's departing figure, his fingertips tapping rhythmically on the steering wheel, lost in thought.
"So you finally decided to come back?"
