What makes you think I will always like you?

"I won't cry." Chen Lu chuckled.

"I didn't mean that..." Liang Zhirou became a little anxious and didn't know how to explain.

Chen Lu looked at her funny, "I know, I'm just teasing you."

Liang Zhirou puffed up her cheeks. Just when she felt that Chen Lu was very kind to her, this man started to bully her.

Too much.

There is absolutely no way to get angry. You can only maintain your life by protesting like this.

Chen Lu didn't care about anything along the way. He followed Liang Zhirou wherever she went.

Fortunately, Liang Zhirou was very familiar with the road and quickly led him to a small mound.

She pursed her lips, suppressed her sadness, and stepped forward to pull up the weeds around the mound.

"I'll help you."

Liang Zhirou raised her head blankly after hearing this, and saw Chen Lu squatting on the other side doing the same thing, carefully and neatly.

She didn't say anything else, just sniffed, continued to lower her head, and pulled out as fast as possible.

The girl knew that she couldn't persuade Chen Lu, but she also knew that as long as she moved faster, Chen Lu would have less work to do.

Time passed quickly when I was busy, and before I knew it, it was already dusk all around, and the sky was getting darker, which made people feel depressed.

By this time, the two of them had almost pulled out the weeds around the tomb. Chen Lu stood up, clapped his hands, and said to the girl, "If you have something to say, I'll stand over there and come back later."

Liang Zhirou's eyes remained on Chen Lu's mud-covered hands, and she nodded with a complicated expression.

Then he took out the paper money he bought from his canvas bag and drew a circle on the ground with his finger.

Chen Lu leaned on a tree in the distance and looked at the girl silently.

After a few minutes, all he could see was a flame in his eyes.

The firelight that kept dancing in the night illuminated the surrounding area clearly, and also illuminated Liang Zhirou's delicate and beautiful side face, and the line of clear tears that kept sliding down her cheeks.

......

Liang Zhirou's eyes were dry due to the high temperature, and she closed her eyes unconsciously.

She knelt on the ground quietly, patted the soil gently with her hands, and then slowly spoke in a very low voice:

"Dad, I'm sorry..."

"I am still slowly saving up the money for my mother's medical treatment. It seems that I will have to wait until after graduation anyway."

"I'm still so useless, but I really tried my best."

"By the way, Dad, I found a boyfriend, and he is very, very good to me."

"I really like him."

"I really didn't just talk about friends and ignore my mother. Don't blame me..."

Perhaps because she expressed her most fragile thoughts, the girl became a little choked up.

"If you don't blame me anymore, come and see me in my dream. You haven't been here for a long, long time."

"I almost forgot what you look like..."

She muttered, and suddenly saw a figure standing next to her from the corner of her eye.

Then it got lower and lower, until it was about the same height as she was kneeling.

Chen Lu also knelt there with her.

The movements are neat and not sloppy at all.

"Hello, uncle, my name is Chen Lu."

In the girl's shocked and dull eyes, he said in a deep voice:

"Leave everything to me from now on."

Liang Zhirou's mouth kept opening and closing, but in the end all the words were stuck in her throat.

In fact, she didn't know what she wanted to say now.

He had no choice but to turn his head and silently pass the paper money into the fire, watching them turn red and finally turn into ashes.

The firelight became extremely blurry in her eyes, but the two lines of tears on her cheeks could not be stopped.

She was crying and convulsing, and Chen Lu knelt beside her and stayed with her without saying a word.

Liang Zhirou felt that if many years later, someone asked her when she first wanted to marry Chen Lu.

She thought she might say she wanted to marry him every moment.

But if you ask yourself the moment when you most wanted to marry Chen Lu.

That must be now.

From this moment on, the scars caused by all the hardships she had suffered over the years truly began to heal.

......

"It's scary walking in the mountains at night."

Chen Lu complained while taking a tissue and gently wiping the tears on the girl's face.

The two of them sat in the car, and Chen Lu rarely turned on the car audio.

Don't ask, just asking because you suddenly want to listen to music has nothing to do with being brave.

Only now did he realize that the moonlight also had a lighting effect.

Unlike the city, when there is no moon here at night, it is really hard to see.

There was no light at all.

"You are actually afraid of bugs." Liang Zhirou said with a tearful voice.

Chen Lu was worried. How could his reputation be ruined by a little insect? "Can we forget this?"

"No."

There was still a teardrop hanging from the corner of Liang Zhirou's bent eyes, but Chen Lu could see that she was indeed smiling at the moment.

Chen Lu looked at the girl and unconsciously curled up his lips.

Forget it, a lifetime of fame is useless.

As long as this idiot is happy.

"Actually, I wasn't afraid of bugs when I was a kid." Chen Lu started the engine and said helplessly.

"It wasn't until later that I took a magnifying glass and observed their mouthparts, especially those of crickets and spiders."

He shivered slightly, "I've been afraid of bugs since then. I really can't accept such things coming into contact with my skin."

Liang Zhirou was a little frightened by what he said. She rubbed the corners of her eyes and said softly: "Isn't it unsafe for you to be so tired? Otherwise... or just sleep in the car all night."

She mustered up the courage to make a suggestion that she would never make in her life.

"Sleeping in the car all night might make you suffocate to death, silly." Chen Lu poked her in the head.

If it was just him, he might just open the car window a little and make do with it for the night.

But I can't take this Hanhan with me. I don't feel relieved if I don't send her home.

"Then just sleep for a while." Liang Zhirou whispered again, as if she was afraid that Chen Lu would refute her opinion again.

Chen Lu was really tired, she could tell. The empty bottles of Red Bull next to it can also prove this.

As she spoke, she cast her gaze to the seats behind her.

"You can... sleep on my lap."

The girl's voice became quieter and softer, until she was completely inaudible.

Needless to say, when Chen Lu heard this, he felt sleepy immediately and became very energetic.

However, the remaining reason still prompted him to ask with a smirk: "We are in the wilderness now. No one will come to save you even if you scream until your throat is broken. Aren't you afraid that I am planning something evil?"

Liang Zhirou shook her head firmly, "Don't be afraid, you are not that kind of person."

"What if I am?" He approached the girl and asked with a deliberately evil smile.

The girl thought about it for a while, looking nervous and scared, but she still said seriously with a trembling voice:

"Then, then I like you too..."
