"If you come and help every day, we can hire one less person!"
Lin Miaomiao suddenly said.
Chen Lu's latte art is better than hers, even though she's practiced for a long time. He's just lazy.
"How can I get here? I have to go to work, I'm very busy."
"you busy?"
"Haven't you noticed I've been going to the company more and more often lately? Otherwise, what if the two kids think I'm unemployed?" Chen Lu said seriously.
We must not let the child misunderstand this.
Otherwise, he would have gone from being a real breadwinner to a useless person who relied on his wife's painting to support the family.
Fortunately, both children like him now, so it's not too late.
Lin Miaomiao clicked her tongue, not expecting this guy to have considered so much.
But she couldn't help but say, "You have to come over before we find someone, right? You know Liang Zhirou works like a bull, aren't you afraid of exhausting your wife?"
Chen Lu was about to speak when Liang Zhirou suddenly waved her hand in a hurry.
"I'm not tired, you don't need to come over to help all the time. Just sit there and watch a movie with me when you come over," the girl said, waving her hand. "You don't have to do anything..."
Just imagining Chen Lu by her side was enough to make her happy; she didn't care about anything else.
Despite Liang Zhirou's words, Chen Lu was still in no hurry to leave and obediently stayed to help.
After the initial novelty wore off, doing this job became a bit of a torment for him.
In the end, he's still just a salted fish.
Liang Zhirou and Lin Miaomiao were quite motivated, and they had a clear division of labor: Liang Zhirou, who was socially awkward, was in charge of the kitchen, while Lin Miaomiao, who was also socially awkward, stayed at the counter the whole time.
Chen Lu always felt that this silly boy had inexhaustible energy. Every day he was drawing and running the shop, and he still had to take care of the children when he got home at night. He was still happy and didn't seem to mind being tired.
Oh well, as long as you're happy.
When he got to the wall, he noticed a guitar hanging there.
I thought it was just decoration, but when I took it down, I realized it was real.
"It seems like it's been years since I played for that silly guy."
With these thoughts in mind, he walked back to the front desk and slowly sat down.
He reached out and gently stroked the strings; the notes they produced were both familiar and strange.
Chen Lu decided not to play Xu Shangao's songs, since it's impossible to get a single ticket to his concerts. He's always been called a has-been singer, but since he started dating Liang Zhirou, he hasn't managed to get a single ticket.
I don't want to indulge scalpers, so I can only endure it with tears in my eyes until now.
In the end, Chen Lu chose the song "Confession Balloon".
All I can say is that no matter how many years have passed, a classic remains a classic.
The sound of the strings was crisp and melodious, quietly lingering in the coffee shop without anyone finding it abrupt.
Every now and then, someone would raise their phone to secretly record a short clip and share it with whoever they wanted to share it with.
After a while, Lin Miaomiao walked by, humming a song and carrying a plate.
She had just walked past the front desk when she suddenly realized something was wrong, and then retreated step by step as if playing a video in reverse.
"When did you specifically learn guitar?" Lin Miaomiao's face was already showing surprise. "You played so badly back then!"
Chen Lu couldn't help but chuckle, his gaze still fixed on the strings. "I definitely did it on purpose, otherwise how would I get rid of you, the third wheel?"
"I should have known you were such a scoundrel!"
Upon reaching the kitchen, Lin Miaomiao quickly grabbed Liang Zhirou's arm and swayed her back and forth.
...
"Zhirou, your husband is playing the guitar!"
"I'm listening."
Liang Zhirou wiped the table, unable to suppress the slight upturn of her lips.
She knew that Chen Lu definitely knew she was listening.
How could we not have this kind of tacit understanding after being together for so long?
The girl smiled faintly, and her hands gradually stopped moving.
She also knew that Chen Lu had actually played this for her alone.
...
After playing a few songs that he could barely remember, Chen Lu looked up and realized that there were two girls standing in front of him.
I couldn't recognize them no matter how hard I thought about it; they looked like two college students who hadn't graduated yet.
"Um, could we add each other on WeChat?" A long-haired girl waved her phone and said softly.
Chen Lu refused in a flat tone: "According to the Gregorian calendar, I'm already twenty-eight this year."
"ah."
The girl paused for a moment, then said, "It's okay, I just like people older than me."
"I've been married for several years now," Chen Lu said with a wry smile. "I still have to pick up the two kids from school later."
Hurry up and leave, don't keep me from flirting with my wife.
The girl gritted her teeth, "Well... okay, can we add each other on WeChat?"
Chen Lu: ?
His pupils gradually trembled and became unfocused, his eyes filled with shock.
No, even if he'll be thirty in two years, is it really necessary for him to be so out of touch with the times?
Are young people these days really so lacking in martial ethics?!
Just as Chen Lu was about to refuse, his arm was suddenly gently taken. He turned his head and saw that it was indeed his wife.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" Liang Zhirou skillfully took his arm, looking at the two girls with a blank expression.
"Did I play well just now? I played it especially for you."
Chen Lu sat in the chair and looked up at her.
Liang Zhirou slowly leaned down and brought her mouth close to his ear.
Chen Lu thought this simpleton would say something nice, but to his surprise, she suddenly kissed him in the ear with a soft, seductive voice, making a soft "pop" sound out of nowhere.
?
Others can hear what you're making!
Her silly behavior made Chen Lu suspect that she had secretly drunk fake alcohol before coming over.
