Liang Zhirou stroked her chin and pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "How about you... invite her to dinner?"
"Then what?"
Liang Zhirou suddenly tilted her head, as if Peng Leyun had asked an extremely stupid question, "Then confess to her."
What's wrong with this person? He doesn't seem very bright.
Chen Lu's jaw almost dropped. When he looked up at Peng Leyun, the guy was even more shocked than him.
"You two, one of you dares to ask, and the other dares to say it?"
Also, Liang Zhirou, were you serious when you were deep in thought just now?
You pondered for so long and this is all you came up with?
Chen Lu had a lot of complaints he wanted to vent, but he didn't know where to start.
After a moment of silence, Chen Lu sighed softly and finally couldn't help but say, "I managed to win over such a beautiful girl, and you didn't even ask me first."
As he spoke, he reached out to lift Liang Zhirou's chin, but seeing the girl open her mouth to bite, he quickly withdrew his hand.
Hmph, she's always clinging to him like a cat at home, but she won't let him pet her when they're out.
"Rounding it up... Ruoxi did take my advice back then." Liang Zhirou was unconvinced and glared at him with a stern face.
Chen Lu couldn't refute it for a moment, after all, Sun Ruoxi did seem to have eloped with Li Sinian on her advice back then.
Could it be that this simpleton actually knows a lot?
Peng Leyun wanted to complain that since the boss's wife was so fair-skinned, it made no difference whether he pursued her or not, but then he worried that he would be fired in a few days because he entered the company with his left foot first, so he decided against it.
He could only nod slightly, then turned and left.
Brother Lu is a good person in every way, except he's a bit stubborn.
Chen Lu watched Peng Leyun's retreating figure and quietly saw him walk out the door.
Actually, this guy had it pretty tough. Knowing that relentlessly pursuing Lin Miaomiao would only backfire, he waited for ten years.
Peng Leyun just hasn't said it yet, but a guy who owns 5% of Polaris's shares and has such a high annual salary is still single at 32.
You can imagine how badly she was scolded by her family.
Just then, a soft touch came from behind. Liang Zhirou had already bent down and hugged him from behind, resting her chin on his shoulder.
Chen Lu could even smell the fragrance in the girl's hair.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Lu was somewhat surprised when he noticed Liang Zhirou suddenly hugging him tightly.
"Nothing, I just wanted to hug you." The girl rubbed her cheek against him.
evening.
"This store is so stingy with even small gifts; I won't be coming here again."
Lin Miaomiao waved the anime poster in her hand, pouted, and put it in her bag. "Let's go, I'll take you home."
Peng Leyun reached out and scratched her cheek. "It just feels weird to have you give me a ride."
"It doesn't matter, I live here anyway. Besides, who says it has to be the guy taking the girl home? It makes no sense." Lin Miaomiao glanced at the bus stop sign not far away. "But you, you earn so much a year, how come you always take the bus or subway?"
"I only get carsick."
"Once you get a driver's license and drive yourself, you won't get dizzy anymore."
As the sun set, it painted the clouds on the horizon a fiery red, and the afterglow shone on the two of them, casting long shadows.
“We’ve been here a few years ago.” Lin Miaomiao turned her head and looked around. “You helped me compete for the starting position.”
"You actually remember?" Peng Leyun said, somewhat surprised.
"I...have a good memory."
The two remained silent for a moment, simply walking quietly, both slowing their pace as if by unspoken agreement.
She could tell he still had something to say.
Time flies, and now I'm in my early thirties, no longer feeling the excitement of my youth.
But because they had both matured, they had developed a tacit understanding that didn't need to be spoken.
As they approached their destination, Peng Leyun finally stopped.
"Um... I like you."
Lin Miaomiao stopped in front upon hearing this, but did not turn around.
"I know."
"Ten years."
"……I know."
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent again. The noise of the cars on the roadside still surrounded him, but Peng Leyun felt that the world was unusually quiet.
It was so quiet that all you could hear was the deafening pounding of your own heart.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Miaomiao pursed her lips and finally sighed: "Why are you so stubborn?"
Do you know how much time you've wasted on me? Aren't you afraid that in the end it will all be for nothing?
“I’m not afraid,” Peng Leyun said firmly. “I’m just afraid that if I don’t persist, I’ll regret every day when I’m old and gray that the person by my side isn’t you.”
What if I don't live to see you when you're old and gray?
Peng Leyun suffered a heart attack.
He quietly clenched his fist. "I've already proven myself over the past ten years. You don't need to feel any pressure."
"I will try my best to make us happy for as long as we can be together."
“I know I may not be qualified to say such things, but…”
Peng Leyun raised her eyes, her gaze gradually hardening.
"You can't deliberately miss out on a whole sea of flowers just because one flower will eventually wither."
He looked quietly at the girl he had known for over ten years and slowly let out a breath.
As long as you can figure it out, that's fine.
Even if... the person you're with isn't me.
Because he was also friends with Lin Miaomiao, Chen Lu never gave him any advice on this matter.
If I had to pinpoint anything I'd said, it would be to remind him to wait and gradually build up his chances over time.
He wanted to prove to himself that he couldn't live without her; to prove that he could live well without her, and that her worries were completely unnecessary.
