Chapter 242 A Family of Three



On the 31st.

Chen Lu brought the British Shorthair back from the vet.

The reason is that when this cat comes out of its cage to wander around, it is particularly easy for other cats in the hospital to bully it.

If we stay there any longer, the old wounds won't heal before new ones appear.

"How come you can't beat anyone? Do other cats have extra claws than you? Go scratch them!" Chen Lu said, sitting on the sofa with the cat high above his head, sounding quite exasperated.

The British Shorthair remained motionless after being lifted up, just staring blankly at him with its round eyes. After a long while, it let out a pitiful meow.

"...You might as well just call yourself Xiaomu Zhimu. It's really fate that she found you."

After Chen Lu finished speaking, he sniffed and suddenly realized that his nose was completely blocked.

Yes, he caught a cold.

Actually, it wasn't really because Liang Zhirou stayed tonight to take care of me that I caught a cold.

He just woke up halfway through his sleep, realized he might have caught a cold, and kicked off the blanket.

Perhaps because it was uncomfortable being held up, the cat meowed again. Chen Lu shrugged and put it down.

The kitten only rested its feet on the sofa for a moment before jumping back to the ground.

Chen Lu had been worried that the cat was too ignorant, but now he was starting to worry that the silly cat was a little too sensible.

Even though I prepared a comfortable cat bed for her, she still insists on sleeping in a secluded corner on the balcony.

Actually, Chen Lu didn't think that way at first, until he discovered that the cat walked very carefully at home and didn't jump onto the sofa like other people's cats.

Seeing it lying on the balcony sunbathing, Chen Lu didn't pay any attention to it and picked up the notebook from the coffee table and put it on his lap.

"Plants vs. Zombies, start!"

I downloaded the game after seeing Liang Zhirou play it, but because I had a lot of other things to do, Liang Zhirou finished the game more than a month ago while I still haven't finished it.

I had only cleared two levels when a light green penguin opened the door and walked in.

Seeing the pile of things Liang Zhirou was carrying, Chen Lu couldn't help but tease her, "I thought you'd been kidnapped on the way here, you're so late."

This silly girl must be a hamster, because every time she comes over around Chinese New Year, she brings a huge pile of stuff.

"The supermarket had a promotion, so I went to line up for eggs." Liang Zhirou hung her down jacket on the hanger and said happily, "I didn't spend a penny on this bag of eggs."

Chen Lu raised his eyebrows twice upon hearing this.

Your boyfriend has a seven-figure bank account, and you go to the supermarket to queue for free eggs...

Seeing the girl's happy expression, Chen Lu swallowed his words and praised her with a smile, "My girlfriend is really good at managing a household."

Liang Zhirou was even happier after being praised a couple of times. She put all the groceries she bought into the refrigerator. "I bought you some frozen dumplings. You can cook them when I'm not around. Don't eat instant noodles anymore. If you don't like them, I can make some and freeze them for you."

"I finally managed to fatten you up a few pounds, but it seems like you're about to lose all that weight again..."

She muttered to herself that the girl was wearing a gray turtleneck sweater, which was a matching pair with the one Chen Lu was wearing.

This silly boy really likes buying matching couple items now, and I often buy them for him on my own initiative—sweaters, pajamas, toothbrush cups...

She still has a very girlish heart, which also shows that her income is much higher than before.

Chen Lu shifted his gaze from the girl back to the computer screen and said softly, "If you lived here and fed me every day, I would have gotten fat long ago."

"I'll feed you every day from now on, just hang in there until then."

As Liang Zhirou spoke, she sat down next to Chen Lu and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

She likes to stay like this the most.

Savoring this pleasant feeling for a while, I opened my eyes and saw Chen Lu playing the final level of Plants vs. Zombies.

She had already completed the game a long time ago, but she was still happy to watch Chen Lu play.

For someone who hasn't played many games and hasn't seen many big scenes, the final level of Plants vs. Zombies is actually quite oppressive.

Liang Zhirou's hands were sweaty after she finished the fight.

"Why are you only using one flowerpot?" she asked in surprise when she saw Chen Lu shovel all the flowerpots down to just one.

"This is called the Self-Isolation Ninja Sect."

When you get tired of a game, all sorts of fancy tricks will come up.

Humans are always good at finding new ideas.

"You've already finished this game, have you found a game you want to play yet?" Chen Lu was still keen on "corrupting" Liang Zhirou's spirit.

“I suddenly feel like I can play this game for a long time,” Liang Zhirou said earnestly. “I didn’t even know it could be played like this.”

"It's not that exaggerated. Anyone can pass with a little luck. Actually, the system will try to give players the cards they need as much as possible so that they can pass the level." Chen Lu said honestly, but Liang Zhirou's admiring look made him secretly happy.

Chen Lu didn't go into too much detail about the underlying logic of the code, since even this simpleton might not understand it.

Liang Zhirou was amazed. "No wonder several times when I was just thinking about what to do if the BOSS spits out ice balls because I didn't have chili peppers, chili peppers would suddenly appear."

"Playing like this is fun, but not enjoyable."

Chen Lu stretched and pulled Liang Zhirou over to sit on his lap. "I haven't seen you play any game with any fun. People like you who can have fun playing any game are amazing."

Many top streamers in the console gaming community are like this; they can provide emotional value to a large audience.

Many people develop some degree of electronic addiction after working for a while, let alone someone who works in the game industry. He has inevitably reached the stage where he is no longer happy playing games.
