"I should have run away back then."
Liang Zhirou pinched her chin and said firmly.
Chen Lu can be really naughty sometimes. Even though he had already realized what was happening, he still told her not to wander off, that he needed to go to the bathroom...
Bullying people.
"It's alright, it won't affect our daily lives anyway."
Chen Lu didn't care. After all, he had already gained some popularity for the new game, but once the hype died down, no one recognized him anymore.
He chattered on and on in Liang Zhirou's live stream for so long before one or two people thought his voice sounded a bit like the one in the video.
That's how the internet works; it has a memory, but not a lot.
He raised an eyebrow at the girl, "Your account can make more money once it gets more traffic."
Liang Zhirou's eyes lit up immediately when she heard about earning more money, and all her previous worries vanished.
"That reporter is so kind-hearted," the girl said sincerely.
She glanced at the kitchen and heard the sounds of cooking inside. After much deliberation, she decided not to go and help.
If it were Wang Xiaoxia, she would have gone over right away, but since it was Chen Guanglin inside, she felt embarrassed and didn't dare to.
Having lost my father at a young age, I now don't know how to get along with elders of this age.
In fact, she always felt a mixture of respect and fear towards Chen Guanglin.
It wasn't that he treated her badly, it's just that Chen Guanglin seemed very quiet, but I always felt that he was thinking about a lot of things, and he was constantly observing everyone around him.
Sometimes Chen Lu is like this when he doesn't talk, making her wonder if she's about to be tricked. In this respect, the father and son are very similar.
As they were chatting, Chen Mo's bedroom door suddenly opened. Chen Lu looked up expectantly, only to see Chen Mo swaggering out with a grin.
Chen Mo had a faint smile on his face, as did Wang Xiaoxia.
Now it was Chen Lu's turn to be frustrated.
Even if Chen Mo didn't cry, he should have come out with a long face, so why is he all smiles now?
What exactly did this thing say inside?
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
After Wang Xiaoxia and Chen Mo returned to the living room, the incident of handing in the college entrance exam early was completely ignored, as if it had never happened. Wang Xiaoxia even asked Chen Mo if he wanted to buy a better laptop.
Chen Lu felt as if a stone was lodged in his heart. Seeing that Wang Xiaoxia's gaze towards him and Liang Zhirou was not unusual, he didn't think much of it for the time being and stood up, saying:
"I'm going to help my dad cook."
He playfully ruffled Liang Zhirou's hair before slowly walking towards the kitchen.
This simpleton was probably too embarrassed to go and help, and then he felt it wasn't right for the young couple to just sit on the sofa and wait for dinner, since they'd probably been feeling uncomfortable for half a day already.
He might as well just go there and solve all the problems instantly.
Sure enough, Liang Zhirou looked at him as if he were a great hero who had saved the world.
In the kitchen.
"By the way, how did you propose to my mom?"
Chen Lu washed the tomatoes and asked casually.
Chen Guanglin pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Keep it a secret. Take this dish out first."
"Dad, please teach me. I really want to improve."
"At home, you should address others by their official titles."
"...I'm really afraid that one day I'll suddenly be outmatched by you in using memes."
Chen Lu grinned speechlessly. "At your age, still surfing the internet every day. Even that silly Liang Zhirou doesn't know how to use internet slang like an old man like you."
Seeing that Chen Guanglin still didn't intend to tell him, he had no choice but to continue, "Director Chen, could you please give me a little pointer?"
"Your focus was off from the start."
Chen Guanglin turned up the range hood a little, and the noise suddenly drowned out their conversation. "If a girl wants to marry you, it's already touching enough for you to kneel there with a bouquet of flowers. If she doesn't... no matter how romantic your plans are, it's all for nothing. A proposal is just to enhance the relationship when things are going well, not to actually ask her to marry you."
"I asked for advice, but it feels like you're trying to discourage me," Chen Lu said, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.
“You’re so stubborn about this. Every time you bring Zhirou back, you shout, ‘I’ve brought your daughter-in-law here,’ but you’re actually quite unsure of yourself.”
That girl is so shy, yet she dared to admit in a public interview that she's your sister-in-law. Can't you see she's more anxious than you are?
No way, I'll have to get all of Lao Mo's Moutai over here. The reason is that your daughter owes my son.
Chen Guanglin shook his head helplessly and tapped the plate of stir-fried vegetables next to him with his chopsticks.
Chen Lu seemed to realize something; this dish was freshly cooked, and it was perfect to eat now.
"You mean it's ready?" he asked quickly.
No, I meant you're bad at the game.
......
After finishing the meal.
Take Chen Mo, this panda—oh, she's not a panda anymore. She just finished her college entrance exams, and in a few days she'll be like many other students whose "national treasure experience cards" have expired—hated by everyone.
In short, after dropping Chen Mo off at home, Chen Lu didn't linger there for long. He chatted for a while and then set off back.
He was still thinking even after he entered the house.
His previous attitude towards the marriage proposal was indeed somewhat purposeful, and he neglected to consider how to make the event a lasting memory for both of them.
A marriage proposal shouldn't just be a proposal; it should at least be something that the two of them can look back on when they're old and gray, and still remember the excitement they felt at that moment.
"What are you thinking about? You don't seem very happy," Liang Zhirou asked with some concern as she sat down on the sofa.
