What makes you think I will always like you?

What she said just now exhausted all the courage Liang Zhirou had accumulated over the years. She could no longer say anything. She just buried her face in Chen Lu's clothes and cried.

Time flies by without leaving any trace.

After so many years, it seems like everything has changed, and yet it seems like nothing has changed.

The little girl who was hiding in the corner of the park and crying secretly still cried in front of the boy when she grew up.

The difference from then is that she has grown up and so has he.

Although the little girl still cries, she has become the sole breadwinner of the family, and the little boy has worked hard enough to take on the responsibility for the girl's future.

"Little crying bag."

After being quiet for a long time, Chen Lu said with a smile, his tone full of doting and uncontrollable joy.

"Of course, but why do you think you are a burden?"

Liang Zhirou didn't seem to react for a while, and after a while she said timidly: "Because I'm useless, and I have to take care of my mother..."

"None of this should be your responsibility."

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, what kind of fairy girlfriend is this?

"Can I turn around?" he asked softly.

"No, no..."

Liang Zhirou thought that she was crying like a little cat, and it would be better to die if Chen Lu saw her.

Chen Lu shrugged helplessly, his hands moving around restlessly, not knowing what he was doing.

"Otherwise, how can I call you stupid?"

"You said that I..." Liang Zhirou whispered, her words full of grievances.

Although she hasn't accepted the reality yet, after hearing Chen Lu's promise, she hugged him a little tighter and pressed her cheek tightly against Chen Lu's back.

Chen Lu took a deep breath and continued to pour the things in his hands while saying seriously: "I am capable of taking on your future. If you want to be my burden, you are not heavy enough."

He never worried that Liang Zhirou would not dare to accept his confession because of her low self-esteem or family background, because he had proven to himself that he had that ability.

What he had always been worried about was that Liang Zhirou didn't like him.

Now, this problem has been solved easily, because the answer is obvious——

She likes herself.

This fool didn't even know how much courage he had to take the initiative to confess.

"No...those are all my own affairs."

Liang Zhirou really didn't want Chen Lu to pay a penny for her family's affairs. Just when she was still hurriedly implementing her little stubbornness, Chen Lu suddenly turned around.

Then, he knelt down on one knee under the girl's blank gaze.

"Liang Zhirou, I like you, I like you more than you like me."

He held the ring he had folded out from the hotel receipt in his hand with a gentle tone.

"Be my girlfriend, okay?"

Chen Lu had a slight smile on his face, and his breath was inevitably a little alcoholic.

This folded paper ring was his response to this fool's confession. He really didn't expect that it was always Liang Zhirou who was made blushing before, but in the end it was this fool who confessed first.

It was like he was always in control of the ball, but in the end Liang Zhirou shot his own goal.

A girl who usually dared not say a few words mustered up the courage to take the initiative to confess her love. How could she get away with it if word got out?

Just when Chen Lu's thoughts were racing, Liang Zhirou was still stunned.

At first, she could still clearly see the ring folded out of paper in Chen Lu's hand under the light of the distant street lamp, but now she could no longer see it clearly.

Her vision was completely covered by water mist and became blurry.

"I'm very tired like this."

After another unknown period of time, Chen Lu said with a chuckle.

Liang Zhirou finally reacted, quickly pulled Chen Lu up with both hands, and responded softly with a tearful voice:

"it is good."

Chen Lu gently took the girl's left hand and put the ring on her left middle finger.

"Tsk, it's a bit big." Chen Lu was a little dissatisfied, "It's all because you don't usually hold my hand."

"...Rogue." The corner of the girl's eyes curled up, and Li Uo also laughed.

The tears never stopped, and from time to time a few drops would streak down her delicate cheeks.

"You just confessed your love to the gangster." Chen Lu said proudly, holding the girl's left hand tightly with his left hand, and wiping her tears with his right hand.

Only then did he notice the bracelet on Liang Zhirou's wrist and asked curiously: "How did this thing get to you?"

After hearing this, the girl sniffed and wiped away her tears, with only a happy smile on her face.

"Because it's mine."

"your?"

At first, Chen Lu thought he had made a mistake or saw the same style, but it took him a few seconds to fully realize it.

He held the girl's face blankly, looking left and right, "Is it really you?"

His memory of the little girl back then was so blurry that it couldn't be any more blurry. He only remembered that the girl was cute, helpless and strong, which made people feel heartbroken.

They all matched up. Whether it was the outrageous bubble machine avatar that Hanhan used or the same bracelet he saw at Liang Zhirou’s house, they all confirmed this fact.

All these factors together could not make Chen Lu guess this fact, but now it all seems so natural.

"It's really me." Liang Zhirou quickly wiped away the tears that fell again and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Thank you."

"Thank you both then and now."

Thank you for holding my hand when I was most helpless.

Thank you for coming back to me that night when I was being bullied.

"I should also thank you...forget it, let's not talk about this." Chen Lu gently took the girl's hands, "I have worked hard for you these past years, let's go together from now on."

After a long time.

Chen Mo was sitting on the sofa, happily watching short videos.

After hearing the sound of the door opening, he quickly put his phone away and took out his English book.

"abandon."

"Stop pretending, it's me." Chen Lu said speechlessly.

When Chen Mo heard this, he immediately threw the English book a few meters away, "You should have told me earlier."

Only then did she see Liang Zhirou, who was huddled behind Chen Lu and looked timid.

"Sister Zhirou! You're back!" Chen Mo opened his arms and ran to hug her.

"I'll call you sister-in-law from now on." Chen Lu curled his lips and said calmly.

? ? ? ?

Chen Mo froze there instantly, even still keeping his arms open.

"What did you say?!"

"She just told me to go out and come back as my sister-in-law?!"

......

early morning.

After Chen Lu sobered up for a while, he suddenly woke up from the bed. He held his forehead with his right hand and kept thinking.

Damn it, is this a dream?

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality. He took out his phone and wanted to send a message to Liang Zhirou.

After typing a few words, I remembered the time.

Three in the morning.

Send a hammer message at this time.

Chen Lu shook his head and complained to himself in his heart.

Just then, his phone vibrated suddenly.

It was from Liang Zhirou.

"why do not you talk?"

? ? ! !

Chen Lu was startled, looked up and looked around for surveillance, and then remembered that Hanhan might have seen the input being input.

He tapped the screen with a shocked look on his face and continued to send the message.

Chen Lu: Why aren’t you asleep yet?

There was no response from the other party.

Chen Lu: Why don’t you speak anymore.

Liang Zhirou: I'm sorry to say...

Chen Lu: What the hell?

A few minutes later.

Liang Zhirou: I'm so happy that I haven't fallen asleep yet...

Chen Lu: I thought I was dreaming just now.

Liang Zhirou: I still feel this way.

Chen Lu couldn't help but smile, and pressed the voice button, "Go to sleep, good night, my dear girlfriend."

after an hour.

Chen Lu looked at the dim light outside the window and sighed deeply.

Sleep with a hammer.
