After a while, Jiang Chao continued, "To be honest, I actually thought you would come back."
After all, Mo Yuqing had never been so humble before.
Whether he was shocked by Mo Yuqing's public apology at the party in front of so many people, or saddened that his brother's years of hard work had been completely wasted, Jiang Chao inexplicably felt a little regretful at this moment.
"It's too late."
Chen Lu said in a deep voice, "Besides, how can you be so sure that she has really realized she likes me, and is not just feeling uncomfortable because she suddenly lost someone who was so considerate by her side?"
He felt that his words might be a bit narcissistic, but there aren't many people who would help him buy meals and pick up packages every day without fail for more than ten years, always available whenever he needed them.
Jiang Chao was speechless for a moment; he really hadn't thought of that.
I just put myself in his shoes and thought about it from his perspective. If it were me, I would be very moved. For a moment, I almost forgot about Chen Lu's many years of dedication.
Damn it, am I really that pathetic? I'll come back to you as soon as you give me a little something.
"I've been a playboy for so long for nothing, you see things much better than me," he couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Lu put on a short-sleeved shirt he found in the closet and slowly covered his thin abs. "You're not that you don't understand, you've never put in as much effort as I have."
You could try apologizing to the girls you hurt in the past, just like Mo Yuqing did, and see how they react.
While most of the people you dump are love-struck, maybe there are one or two who are truly devoted.
Jiang Chao didn't say anything, thinking that he should first see how Liu Yan would react.
He might end up like the next Makoto Shinkai.
"I'm leaving." Chen Lu picked up the trash bag, opened the door, and prepared to go out.
"Wait a bit before you leave!"
Jiang Chao suddenly shouted.
"What? You miss your dad?" Chen Lu asked with a smile.
"What do you think about teaming up with me? You usually love playing games so much, haven't you ever dreamed of making a game that could be nominated for TGA?"
"I'm still considering it. But I have to warn you, if you start a business with this kind of thinking, you'll starve."
The door was closed gently.
"Oh shit."
Jiang Chao cursed.
That's why I came to you!
......
The group agreed to have hot pot that evening.
Since Lin Miaomiao had her own things to do, Chen Lu went to the library to find Liang Zhirou, intending to dawdle until lunchtime.
She is preparing for the CET-6 (College English Test Band 6) in June. Before, she would spend her days in the drama club memorizing English words, but now that she doesn't have to go there anymore, she simply immerses herself in the library.
Liang Zhirou is not like Chen Lu, a student who can play around every day and still get good grades, but she is also not the kind of student who works her but still can't improve her grades.
She was right in the middle, so she used all her free time, when she wasn't working part-time or taking care of her mother, to study, to ensure she could get excellent grades, win scholarships, and find a better job in the future.
Seeing the girl's earnestness, Chen Lu simply got up and borrowed a few books to read.
Liang Zhirou placed her arms obediently on the smooth table, which looked fair and tender, making one want to touch them.
The girl seemed to notice Chen Lu's gaze, looked up at the book in his hand, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?"
Chen Lu quickly turned his attention back to the book.
"This one? The one I'm looking at now is about the startup process." He then pointed to another book on the table.
"This on the table is the famous 'C++ from Beginner to Cemetery'."
Liang Zhirou's mouth opened slightly, and she blinked blankly, "Aren't you a law student...? Why are you looking at this?"
She was somewhat surprised, thinking to herself, "No wonder Chen Lu knows everything..."
Even though Chen Lu had excellent grades in his major courses, he still made sure to learn things he didn't know whenever he had a spare moment.
"I had nothing else to do anyway, so I just looked it up casually. It's for a friend," Chen Lu said seriously. "He's too impulsive; he might not bother to research these things beforehand."
Liang Zhirou seemed even more shocked after hearing this, her mouth agape.
She was exhausted from studying her own coursework every day.
Can Chen Lu still spend so much time learning things outside his major?
Chen Lu also saw through her thoughts and quietly pointed to a few people in the distance whose books were piled high beside them. They looked like they were working hard, but they were actually wearing headphones and watching videos.
"Nothing is learned in vain, and I'm using the time others spend watching short videos. I'll still do my own things step by step."
Chen Lu was certain that if he were to take the bar exam now, he would pass it.
The girl nodded as if she understood, and continued to concentrate on her own thing.
For some reason, Chen Lu's presence made her feel very at ease, and even her study efficiency improved significantly.
She increasingly enjoyed being around Chen Lu, even if they didn't do anything.
Even this level of satisfaction was something she never dared to hope for.
At that moment, Chen Lu suddenly poked her arm with his pen. Her skin was very good; a light touch would leave a white mark.
He would poke it once and then slowly watch the mark disappear.
"Can I poke your cheek?"
"Liang Zhirou, you certainly don't want your good friend to be sad, right?"
Liang Zhirou paused for a moment, then slowly moved a little closer to Chen Lu...
This way, Chen Lu doesn't have to stretch his hand too far.
......
That night.
The two walked side by side into a hot pot restaurant near the school.
