Liang Zhirou puffed out her cheeks, feeling utterly speechless.
Couldn't you have made it up a little more carefully? You could have said the tire blew out and Jiang Chao borrowed it.
If you had just given me a reasonable way out, I would have taken the fall myself...
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. While pouting and glaring fiercely at Chen Lu, she served him food.
"Stop putting more food in my bowl!" Chen Lu pleaded in astonishment. "I really can't eat anymore."
Liang Zhirou acted as if she couldn't hear, and continued to serve food to Chen Lu.
To be honest, she had a lot of trouble buying all the vegetables that Chen Lu liked. The stairwell was already quite dark in the evening, and since it was an old building, two of the motion-activated lights on the floors were broken. She had to muster up a lot of courage to walk downstairs humming a song.
The most awkward thing was that she ran into her neighbor from the same building while she was humming a song.
Just thinking about it makes her want to jump out of the window.
After finishing the meal.
Chen Lu slumped in the chair, lifted his shirt to look at his round belly, and looked utterly dejected.
He couldn't bear to let Liang Zhirou go through all that trouble for nothing, so he ate as much as the silly boy put on his plate, until he was so full he couldn't eat anymore.
"I'll go wash the dishes, after all, you're still recovering from the trauma of watching horror movies," he suggested, burping.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid if you sit here and chat with me..."
As Liang Zhirou spoke, she walked up to Chen Lu, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, but did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she stood there and stared at him.
Then he gently tapped Chen Lu's forehead with a headbutt.
Chen Lu covered his forehead, staring blankly at the girl's retreating figure as she walked towards the kitchen, feeling increasingly strange.
Why did Liang Zhirou react so strongly to my joke? She's not usually like this.
Could it be that the expectation he saw in Liang Zhirou's eyes just now was real?
Is this idiot giving things away for free again?
That can't be right.
He didn't even add any firewood to the pot...
Anyway, it's impossible to bring it up again now, otherwise I'd definitely get my head banged against by this idiot.
Damn, I suddenly feel like I've been ripped off.
After they had finished packing, Chen Lu showed Liang Zhirou behind-the-scenes footage of many horror movies, trying to help the simple-minded girl get rid of the trauma caused by horror movies as soon as possible.
He then drove Liang Zhirou home.
The two walked side by side in the alley, their shadows stretched long by the overhead lights. Even the shadows that were usually so familiar looked somewhat menacing in Liang Zhirou's eyes at this moment.
"Would you... would you walk me to the door?" Liang Zhirou asked, her voice trembling as she clung tightly to Chen Lu's arm.
“If I were you, I would just stay in the rented room and not come back.” Chen Lu scratched the girl’s hand with his thumb. “Then I would sleep in the same bed with you at night. I can not only protect you, but also tell you stories to lull you to sleep.”
Liang Zhirou hesitated for two seconds, tempted by the suggestion, before shaking her head vigorously, "No."
After calming down, especially after hearing Chen Lu say those words in a strange tone, she suddenly felt that it was also dangerous to stay by Chen Lu's side at night.
However, they are different kinds of dangers.
"Why?" Chen Lu thought he could definitely persuade this naive girl to go home with him.
Liang Zhirou lowered her head and muttered softly, "You'll definitely take advantage of this to do something indecent..."
Chen Lu's lips twitched. He never expected that his reputation as a gentleman had been completely worn down during his many mountain climbing trips.
"At most, I just want your body, I'm not going to kill you." He retorted, "Am I any friendlier than those things you're afraid of that don't even exist?"
The girl nodded slightly, inexplicably feeling that what Chen Lu said made some sense.
Just as Chen Lu was about to speak, an orange cat suddenly jumped from the wall into the alley, stopped in the middle, licked its paws, and then continued on its way.
In places like this, all kinds of cats and dogs are common, and this breed is the most common type of domestic cat, since people who live here wouldn't keep any special breeds.
So aside from being startled at first, he didn't have any particular reaction.
Liang Zhirou was different. After seeing something leap in front of her, she closed her eyes tightly and tremblingly pulled Chen Lu behind her.
"You...you run first!" the girl said, her voice trembling with tears.
Chen Lu looked at Liang Zhirou, who seemed ready to become cannon fodder with her arms outstretched, and awkwardly touched his nose.
Taking her to see behind-the-scenes footage of a horror movie seems to have had the opposite effect.
After a while, he finally managed to coax the girl to open her eyes. Pointing to the orange cat that had jumped onto the wall, he said seriously, "Look carefully, that's a cat."
Liang Zhirou finally came to her senses, but her legs were still weak, so she had to lean on Chen Lu's chest.
She's really timid; her face is now deathly pale. Originally, because of her limited imagination, her fears were very limited.
After watching those behind-the-scenes clips, my brain could automatically fill in all sorts of scenarios.
Chen Lu pinched the girl's cheek while staring at the uninvited guest. Actually, cats can be a bit scary at night because their eyes glow.
"How come you're as fat as a pig?" Chen Lu asked.
"Meow?"
The orange cat felt insulted, glanced at Chen Lu, and walked away.
Liang Zhirou let out a deep breath, then suddenly exclaimed nervously, "Something is touching my waist!"
“...That’s my hand.”
......
The next day, the company announced a holiday, but it was actually Chen Lu's busiest time.
