Back then, she had no relatives or friends. As soon as she received her first month's salary, she bought two fish and a basket of eggs and went straight to Chen Guanglin's house.
She didn't know who she was trying to prove to, that even without her parents' help, she could still get engaged and save up for her dowry, just like other pampered girls.
"Zhirou is treating this as her first formal meeting with her mother-in-law..." Wang Xiaoxia murmured. No wonder she had never seen this girl bring anything before, but this time she brought something so valuable.
Chen Guanglin continued watching TV leisurely, saying, "In the future, they will be one family. This is our hometown."
Wang Xiaoxia was in a daze for a moment, then sniffed, holding back her tears. She sighed inwardly, thinking how cruel fate was; unfortunate children are often both insecure and strong-willed.
Zhirou's ambition is no less than hers back then, and she's truly determined—
He's just a bit simple-minded.
......
The two returned to their rented apartment after 10 p.m.
Liang Zhirou sat on the sofa, carefully savoring the cream puff that Wang Xiaoxia had insisted on giving her, looking quite happy.
"It's so delicious," the girl said softly. "I can't believe there's such a delicious thing in the world."
"You haven't eaten this before?"
No.
Liang Zhirou reluctantly put the last piece of cream puff into her mouth, saying, "I love the cream inside."
Chen Lu glanced at the last cream puff in his hand, thinking to himself that not many girls could resist desserts, and slowly brought it to the girl's lips. "Ah~"
Liang Zhirou quickly shook her head, saying with immense guilt, "I'm not eating anymore. I've almost finished everything, and you only have that one left..."
"It doesn't matter, this stuff gets really greasy if you eat too much of it." Chen Lu had barely finished speaking when he realized that all the cream was sticking out of his index finger.
He pointed to the tissue box in the far corner of the coffee table and said softly, "Zhirou, get me some tissues."
"It's such a waste to wipe it off, why don't you just lick it?"
"But I really don't like cream," Chen Lu said honestly. He had even thrown up from eating it before.
It can only be said that some people are just not suited to eating this kind of thing; they even have to remove the cream from their birthday cakes before eating them.
"How about... you do it?" Chen Lu asked.
Liang Zhirou was stunned for a moment, then nodded almost imperceptibly.
She grasped Chen Lu's outstretched hand, brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear with her right hand, and then slowly lowered her head to suck on his index finger.
Chen Lu hadn't thought much of it, and Liang Zhirou was even less likely to think much of it.
But when he realized that the girl was actually sucking his index finger, things immediately went wrong.
Feeling the warm touch from his fingertips and the gentle licking of his tongue, Chen Lu unconsciously swallowed, his heartbeat gradually drowning out his breathing.
The late emperor deeply considered that the Han and the rebels could not coexist...
No, that's not the sentence!
Spring of the fourth year of the Qingli era...
That's not right either!
Master Chen couldn't recall the first sentence of the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng," which he used to calm his mind every day, until the very end. His mind went blank, and he was forced to focus all his attention on feeling the warm, moist sensation enveloping his fingertips.
In a short while.
"You don't like something this delicious?" Liang Zhirou licked her lips and muttered softly.
Seeing the trace of white cream left on Liang Zhirou's lips, he shook his head vigorously and quickly got up, saying, "I'm going to take a shower."
I need to calm down; if I lose control, everything will be over.
Liang Zhirou looked up at him with some confusion, and then blushed when she noticed something was wrong with Chen Lu.
It can only be said that knowledge is indeed cursed; she immediately thought of scenes that she could never have imagined even a few days ago.
Are you going to handle it secretly again?
"No! And what do you mean by 'again'?!" Chen Lu quickly retorted, "How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"
"If you're really in pain, I... I can help you..." Liang Zhirou's voice grew softer and softer until she just hugged her knees tightly, buried her head, and remained silent.
In fact, it was discovered that Chen Lu's study materials had no impact on her mindset.
If I had to put it bluntly, my perfect filter for Chen Lu shattered, but that's not meant as a negative thing, because she was actually quite happy about it.
After all, Chen Lu was exceptionally good at everything he did, which made her feel like he was just out of reach. Now she realized that her boyfriend was just a little smarter, and in other aspects he was just like any other boy his age.
Every night I was always thinking of taking advantage of her, and I was always worried that I would go too far and scare her away. I was also worried about waking her up after she fell asleep.
She's human too, how could she not have insomnia?
Chen Lu can be really cute sometimes.
Although Liang Zhirou was still shyly hugging her knees, her gaze towards Chen Lu gradually became more meaningful.
Chen Lu's cheeks flushed under the scrutinizing gaze, and he quickly said, "I'm a person with moral principles!"
Liang Zhirou was so good to him, and she had such a gentle personality, always looking like she was easy to bully...
If he keeps begging Liang Zhirou for help, wouldn't that make him seem like a pervert?
He is clearly a virtuous and upright person!
"I, Chen, have lived an upright life and would never do anything against your will!"
"I can not only tolerate you until you agree, I can even tolerate you pushing me down!"
A master of boiling frogs slowly must have obtained cheap deals through his own trickery. How can he rely on the frog's unwilling tolerance?
He has professional ethics!
Chen Lu, his face full of righteousness, patted Liang Zhirou's chest before turning around and going into the bathroom to take a shower.
Ben Chen Road.
Liang Zhirou muttered to herself.
Thinking back to the time when Chen Lu even tried to kiss her, Liang Zhirou's lips, buried in her arms, unconsciously curled up.
She's so lucky.
Night deepened.
Chen Lu looked at the cold night outside, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
He turned his head to look at the girl's chest rising and falling rhythmically with her breathing, and asked softly, "Are you asleep?"
"No, if you have insomnia, I can chat with you."
Chen Lu moved closer to Liang Zhirou, his face full of flattery, and said:
"Well... actually, my moral bottom line is quite flexible."
