Why would Chen Lu, who used to spend all his time taking her out to fish and even find such a remote pavilion, suddenly want to start a business?
Why did Chen Lu never mention the prize money again after receiving it?
Why did Chen Lu always know exactly how much money she still needed...?
She should have known.
When Chen Lu lies, he tends to say a lot of things to cover it up.
When I asked him that morning if it was true or not, Chen Lu gave an unprecedentedly long explanation.
"I'm not some pushover. How could I help you for nothing? That's something only the most foolish person in the world would do."
The words Chen Lu said at the hospital still echoed in her ears.
Yes, her boyfriend is such a naive and kind-hearted person, why can't she believe it?
"Why did you do this and keep it from me all this time...?"
After a while, Liang Zhirou muttered softly again in a tearful voice.
She thought about it for a moment, but still didn't ask the question, "Why are you so good to me?"
She knew that no matter how many times she asked, Chen Lu's answer would only be "I like you".
Chen Lu paused for a moment.
"Because although I'm not a good person, I just don't want you to live for me alone for the rest of your life."
Chen Lu said very seriously, "Don't you know what kind of personality you have?"
To be honest, Chen Lu found the idea very tempting every time he thought about it.
But it's just tempting.
His feelings for Liang Zhirou always completely crushed his human greed.
"Isn't that good?" Liang Zhirou didn't understand.
"Of course it would be great, but that's definitely not what I want."
"But I'm willing. I'm willing to live only for you from now on."
Chen Lu chuckled to himself upon hearing this, but still shook his head. "It's precisely because you're willing that it's not possible."
"So what exactly do you want?"
Liang Zhirou wiped her tears with the back of her hand and stared at him intently.
“What I want…” Chen Lu’s lips suddenly curled up slightly, “I hope you won’t just be happy because of my happiness, or sad because of my sadness.”
Instead, it's about finding someone to share your joy with, especially when you encounter something happy or realize the beauty of life.
As Chen Lu spoke, he wiped away the girl's tears with his hand, extended an index finger, and revealed a smug smile, "I just said I'm not a good person. I want to be the first person you think of, for the rest of your life."
Liang Zhirou sniffed and snuggled closer to Chen Lu, "If my mom doesn't tell, are you going to keep it from me forever?"
Chen Lu sighed deeply. He really didn't plan to let Liang Zhirou know about this anytime soon.
Aunt Xiao was just too kind-hearted to keep this secret.
“No, but I was planning to tell you when you stopped being so tense every day.” He lowered his head and kissed the girl’s hair lightly. “I swore an oath the moment you pulled me out of the mire that no matter how many knots the past left in your heart, I would untie them one by one.”
"I've been trying, but... I'm still a little short," Liang Zhirou said somewhat guiltily.
"Zhirou, let the past be the past."
Chen Lu gently stroked the girl's cheek. "If you don't slow down, you'll miss a lot of things. Don't you have anything you're afraid of missing?"
In the darkness, their foreheads gradually touched. Liang Zhirou took a deep breath and said earnestly:
"What I fear missing most... is you every single day."
It's not your turn yet!
Chen Lu shouted in his heart and was about to sit up when the moon just peeked out from the thin clouds, bright and clear.
The thin moonlight shone down on the two of them, making Liang Zhirou's already exquisite face even more beautiful.
Chen Lu looked up at the balcony window and pulled the girl beside him into his arms.
"Zhirou, look, the moon is beautiful."
