The sun had completely set, and dusk was gradually falling. As the sky darkened, it seemed as if the whole world had slowed down.
This is especially evident in this old neighborhood. The children who were playing downstairs have all gone home, and all the windows with their old security bars are lit up.
Only one window was dark.
After being embraced by Liang Zhirou, Chen Lu didn't move again, and naturally didn't have time to get out of bed to turn on the light. He quietly looked at the hazy night outside the window, his mood somewhat complicated.
He never imagined that his first time sharing a bed with a girl would unfold like this...
He had no other thoughts but was too worried. In just a short while, he didn't know how many times he had touched Liang Zhirou's forehead, afraid that her body temperature would rise.
Liang Zhirou slept soundly. This silly girl had no guard up at all in front of him, even though she scolded him for being a hooligan every day.
Girls are such strange creatures.
Chen Lu sighed inwardly and reached out to touch the girl's forehead again. He had to admit, this little rascal was so soft and cuddly; it was really comfortable to hold her.
Perhaps the movement was a bit too large this time, because the girl in his arms let out a soft hum and then slowly opened her eyes.
"Are you still feeling unwell? Are you hungry?" Chen Lu asked softly.
"A little bit." Liang Zhirou seemed to still be half asleep, her words were indistinct, and it was unclear which question she was answering.
Before she could even realize how octopus-like she was clinging to Chen Lu, she snuggled even closer into his arms. "What time is it?"
"It's past eight o'clock. Are you still sleeping? If you don't want to sleep, sit up and drink some water. I'll go make you some food."
"I don't want to sleep, and I don't want to eat," Liang Zhirou said in a deep voice.
"So what do you want to do?" Chen Lu asked, puzzled.
Liang Zhirou seemed to have woken up from her nap, and smiled as she lifted her face to kiss Chen Lu's neck, "I want to stay with you like this."
Chen Lu took a deep breath. The girl's temperature had gone down, but her breath was still a little warm on his neck. "Has no one taken care of you when you had a fever in a long time?"
“This is the first time.” After thinking for a moment, Liang Zhirou added, “After I can remember.”
The dimly lit room fell silent, and in the darkness, Liang Zhirou could only feel Chen Lu holding her even tighter.
He expressed everything he wanted to say through his actions.
Liang Zhirou smiled and hugged him tightly, as if they wanted to melt each other into their own bodies.
After a while.
"Will I infect you?" Liang Zhirou asked seriously. She was sweating a little, and a few strands of hair were stuck to her cheeks with sweat. She was no longer as close to Chen Lu as before.
Girls always seem to want to show their best side to the person they like, and obviously, looking sweaty doesn't meet that standard.
"No," Chen Lu said directly. "But it wouldn't be bad if I got infected; I could experience what it's like to be taken care of by you."
"You can experience it even if you're not sick."
"I'll remember what you said."
"I reserve the right of final interpretation..." Liang Zhirou added in a very low voice. She always felt that Chen Lu had ulterior motives. Now that she was sick, he was too embarrassed to act like a hooligan, but things might change later.
If you really treat Chen Lu like a patient, he might just want to bully you even more.
After all... after all, he must have some special fetishes. Miaomiao said it was something like role-playing.
Chen Lu's smile froze instantly, and he poked the girl's forehead hard. "You've gone astray."
She also has the final say on the interpretation; this silly girl is now secretly wicked.
"No, I didn't..."
Liang Zhirou readjusted her position, lying obediently on her side, her clear, bright eyes blinking as she looked at Chen Lu, and said softly, "I want to sleep a little longer, will you coax me to sleep?"
She didn't know why, but today she felt an unusual urge to act cute and affectionate. It was as if she wanted to fully experience things she hadn't been able to experience in previous years.
She felt something was off again, and reached out to touch Chen Lu's stomach, realizing she'd been a bit too willful. "You have to eat after I fall asleep. You definitely haven't eaten yet..."
"good."
Chen Lu was both amused and exasperated, never expecting that Liang Zhirou would remember to urge him to eat properly.
Liang Zhirou suddenly buried her face in his body and said in a voice so soft it was almost inaudible, "Help me take off that shirt..."
"Unravel what?"
"You're just asking a question you already know the answer to." Liang Zhirou felt wronged and embarrassed, and even contemplated suicide.
"Are you trying to be a pervert?" Chen Lu raised an eyebrow, not understanding the motivation behind this behavior as a boy.
Liang Zhirou took a deep breath, she was really regretting it to death. She should have just endured the discomfort all night. "...Girls usually take this off before sleeping. It's really uncomfortable to sleep in this."
"Is it enough to just untie it? Don't you need me to help you take it off?" Chen Lu asked very considerately, his expression looking harmless and seemingly very willing to help.
Liang Zhirou was silent for two seconds, then bit Chen Lu hard.
Chen Lu winced as he was bitten, but he became much more obedient, obediently stretching out his arms as if he were defusing a bomb.
No, it's because the knife—no, the teeth—is right against my neck.
He was willing to bet that if he did anything even slightly outrageous, he would definitely get a big bite out of him.
This was the first time in his life he had ever felt that being in a dark room was a bad thing, because it made it impossible for him to see anything.
Liang Zhirou was so embarrassed that she buried her face in her hands, not daring to look at him. He tilted his head back slightly and slowly reached his hands through her clothes to her back. When he touched her smooth skin, his heart started beating fast and pounding.
After a moment of searching and confirming that there were only three bomb fuses, Chen Lu, the bomb disposal expert, began his work.
I don’t know if it was because I was too nervous, but even though the structure seemed quite simple, it took me a while to open this thing for the first time. It took Chen Lu half a minute to untie all three small buckles on top.
The moment he removed the last hook, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest. Seeing it was one kind of thrill, but touching it was another.
Realizing the bomb had been defused, Liang Zhirou quickly grabbed his hand, not giving him any more chances to take advantage of her.
Chen Lu obediently withdrew his hand.
"No wonder some people say that most guys who can untie this thing with one hand are jerks..."
He couldn't help but sigh to himself, "It's so troublesome to unbutton this thing, especially when you can only figure out how to do it by trial and error."
