Early the next morning.
When Chen Lu groggily opened his eyes after the alarm rang, he saw a pair of very beautiful eyes staring at him.
Before he could even be startled, his mind was already drawn to the girl's beauty.
In the end, he's still a pervert.
Seeing Chen Lu open his eyes, Liang Zhirou, who had been squatting by the bed secretly watching him, quickly stood up, looking around nervously, but not daring to look at him.
"Didn't you sleep well?" she asked, changing the subject.
Chen Lu sat up, clutching his head. "Last night, a female hooligan took advantage of me and left. I was so angry that I couldn't sleep all night."
It turns out that goodnight kisses are not suitable for couples who are still in the throes of new love; they can cause insomnia.
"No...no, that's not it." Liang Zhirou said somewhat guiltily.
How can kissing your own boyfriend be considered a female hooligan?
"Why did you say 'no' instead of 'no,'" Chen Lu raised his eyelids and looked at her with a wicked smile. "You admit to what you did last night?"
Liang Zhirou didn't want to talk anymore. This person was awful; he was much more obedient when he was asleep.
If Chen Lu were a little bit dumber, she could give him a taste of his own medicine.
A few seconds later, she slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and began to massage Chen Lu's eyes.
"Let me get my money back quickly," Chen Lu said.
Liang Zhirou's movements and tone were all gentle and soft. "It's morning now, there are so many people here."
"I'm sorry," the girl said, looking at Chen Lu's dark circles under his eyes with great remorse.
Chen Lu looked completely unconcerned. "It's nothing, it's not entirely your fault. Jiang Chao asked me to play chess with him late at night, so he's partly to blame."
He couldn't get a single three-star, five-cost card in the last game last night, he was just one card away from getting it no matter what. He already had trouble sleeping, and after that game, he couldn't sleep at all.
Liang Zhirou pouted, feeling wronged, as if she had been feeling guilty for nothing all day.
However, she still carefully rubbed Chen Lu's eyes, and only took a bite out of his hand when she left.
Chen Lu stared blankly at the faint teeth marks on his right hand, blinking in surprise. Finally, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
It doesn't hurt or itch at all; this silly boy simply can't bear to exert any force.
But... does this count as domestic violence?
Chen Lu was lost in thought when a group of doctors in white coats walked into the ward.
He followed them inside.
"Don't be too nervous, try to relax," the taller of the doctors said softly.
Seeing Chen Lu go inside, he turned around again and said, "You're Guanglin's son, right? Do you remember me?"
Hello, Uncle.
Chen Lu immediately laughed and called out, but he really couldn't match the names.
As long as you don't say whether you remember or not, laughing and shouting like that will likely give others the illusion that you do remember.
In any case, most people won't ask any more questions.
"You're so young and you can earn so much money. You're even more successful than your father," the doctor said with a smile. Then he glanced at Liang Zhirou, who was tidying up her things. "Both of you have good taste."
Liang Zhirou tilted her head as she listened, but the tension of her mother's upcoming surgery left her no time to think about it further.
After giving some casual instructions and chatting with Chen Lu for a few minutes, the group of doctors who came to make their rounds turned and left.
No sooner had the last person left than a mischievous girl slipped in through the gap.
Xiao Xunfang was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Miaomiao is here?"
Before meeting Chen Lu, Liang Zhirou only had one friend, Lin Miaomiao, who had also eaten at her home. Therefore, Xiao Xunfang had a deep impression of Lin Miaomiao.
"Yes, I've come to see you." Lin Miaomiao smiled, revealing her signature canine tooth.
Why didn't you go home this summer vacation?
Her smile vanished suddenly, replaced by resentment towards Chen Lu for making her rush to solve a problem last night, "because I'm working for Chen Lu."
Actually, working overtime isn't the worst thing. The worst thing is when you're working late at night and you see your boss playing games online.
"You guys are doing a pretty good job of it."
Xiao Xunfang said with some shock that she had no concept of companies and Liang Zhirou had not mentioned Chen Lu's company to her much.
It was only when Chen Lu solemnly declared that he would cover all the costs that she learned some of the basic details.
Chen Lu's family was far wealthier than she had imagined, and Chen Lu was far more capable than she had ever thought.
She vaguely remembered that people around her used to say that rich men in the city were all wicked, constantly changing wives and keeping mistresses. Her impression of such men came from Hong Shixian in the TV series "The Temptation of Going Home".
She glanced unconsciously at Chen Lu, who was sternly competing with Liang Zhirou for work, and then revealed a genuine smile.
I, as the son-in-law, would never do that.
......
Around 8:30, the nurse came in to prepare to take Xiao Xunfang to the operating room.
Liang Zhirou, who was already very nervous, became even more nervous now, as if she were the one who was about to have surgery. Even though Xiao Xunfang didn't react, her face turned pale.
She held Xiao Xunfang's hand tightly until they reached the door, then slowly let go, and her hand fell limply down as if all her strength had been drained.
It was trembling slightly.
The next second, Chen Lu tightly grasped the girl's hand.
Liang Zhirou froze for a long time before turning her head to look at Chen Lu. He smiled gently at her and said, "It's okay, I'm here."
"Be mindful of the impact, be mindful of the impact."
Lin Miaomiao gave a soft snort and pushed them towards the operating room door.
Outside the operating room, the operating room door was tightly closed.
Because no outsiders come here, it's eerily quiet.
Only the sign that kept emitting a bright green light and read "Operation in Progress" made a faint buzzing sound from time to time.
Chen Lu sat quietly on the metal bench, his hand supporting his chin, seemingly lost in thought.
Everyone else can panic now, but he can't.
Lin Miaomiao and Liang Zhirou sat to the side, both looking somewhat nervous.
Seeing Chen Lu's calm demeanor, Liang Zhirou felt much more at ease, even a little dazed. This was the first time in her life she had truly felt how happy it was to have someone to rely on.
This feeling was even more pronounced for her, who had always been busy with all sorts of things on her own.
While she was lost in thought, she saw Chen Lu wink at her in a very greasy way.
It's obviously intentional.
The girl responded with a smile through her tears, though it was inevitably a little stiff and distorted.
"Why don't you go out for a walk with her? You're just waiting here. I can watch over her by myself," Lin Miaomiao suddenly said irritably.
Unexpectedly, Chen Lu stood up before he finished speaking.
"That's exactly what I was waiting for you to say."
After saying that, he extended his right hand towards Liang Zhirou, smiling as he said:
"Don't be so tense, I'll take you to a nice place."
