So, are you willing or not?
Liang Zhirou turned back to continue chopping the cabbage, and after a long while, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.
If Chen Lu hadn't listened attentively, he would have missed it.
"willing."
That's what the girl said.
Chen Lu felt his heart pounding. How could this idiot keep landing critical hits?
So you're going to go for a full set of critical strike gear?
He could only help wash the vegetables to distract himself.
"Thank you so much this time," Liang Zhirou said after a while.
"Oh, it's nothing." Chen Lu said dismissively, and took out a plate to put the washed vegetables away.
Unexpectedly, the girl's voice suddenly broke into a sob, "Not only this time, thank you for last time too..."
Seeing this, Chen Lu sighed and said seriously, "I suggest you thank me less."
Liang Zhirou looked up at him, her bright and beautiful eyes filled with confusion, "Why?"
"Because no matter how many times, I will stand up for you."
After saying that, he smiled gently and said, "If you thank me every time, you'll be exhausted."
"......"
The girl sniffed quietly, her vision too blurry to chop vegetables. "You said you didn't like fish, so I didn't make it. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
"Didn't you wash the cabbage? I want to eat hand-torn cabbage."
"Anything else?"
"Hmm... cola chicken wings?"
Liang Zhirou wiped her hands with her apron. "I'll go buy you chicken wings."
Chen Lu quickly stepped forward and grabbed her, saying, "I was just kidding. I love anything you make."
The girl looked up and secretly gazed into his eyes. "Really?"
Chen Lu nodded.
She then obediently returned to the cutting board and asked curiously, "Why are you always able to talk people away?"
"Because people are despicable; if they think you're easy to bully, they'll keep bullying you."
But if you first act tough, then offer the other party a way out, they'll easily back down unless they intend to push things further.
After finishing his story, Chen Lu recalled things from his childhood.
“When I was in elementary school, I was short, and a few bad kids would often pick on me. Later, every time they came, I would fight them. Even if I couldn’t beat them, I would still fight. I would randomly grab one of them and beat them up. Over time, they started bullying people who couldn’t fight back.”
Liang Zhirou listened attentively, intending to learn from it, but then she noticed that Chen Lu stopped talking halfway through his sentence.
As she was wondering, a cool breeze suddenly came from behind her.
Chen Lu, sweating profusely from the heat, fanned her alone, leaned close to her ear, and said, "You don't need to think about these things."
"I'm here for you."
