Chu Zhuo was recovering, but the aftereffects of being completely drained were severe. He was sore all over and had little strength in his limbs. Lu Tingzhou picked him up and carried him to his bed.

Although he was visibly much better, Lu Tingzhou was still worried and did not cancel the private doctor's visit.

After examining Chu Zhuo, the doctor said, "There's nothing seriously wrong. It's just that your body is overexerted. You just need to replenish some glucose."

After saying that, he half-jokingly said to Chu Zhuo, "Little friend, did you go running a marathon without warming up?"

Lu Tingzhou: "...Enough with the nonsense, where's the glucose?"

The doctor raised an eyebrow and took out a glucose solution from the medicine box: "Take two vials a day, before breakfast and after dinner, for a week."

Chu Zhuo asked curiously, "Is it sweet?"

"Of course." The doctor looked at the boy who was leaning against the bed. He looked a little weak, but his energy had clearly returned. He casually asked, "You must be Lu Tingzhou's boyfriend. People in love are different. He used to not allow outsiders into his bedroom."

Chuzhuo: "?"

What boyfriend? Chu Zhu looked at the man with suspicion.

Lu Tingzhou forced himself to ignore the burning gaze, pretended to be calm, and got up to see the person to the door: "Go away, don't bother seeing me off."

The doctor looked at the closed door and sent a message to Grandpa Lu.

A short while later, I received a red envelope from my employer.

The private doctor accepted the red envelope, smiled slightly, and leisurely left, keeping his good deed and fame hidden.

The room remained eerily quiet.

Chu Zhuo rarely saw Lu Tingzhou looking so embarrassed, so she crossed her arms and said, "Lu Tingzhou, aren't you going to say something?"

Lu Tingzhou: "..." He was born not to talk.

Lu Tingzhou took a deep breath, quickly found an excuse, and said helplessly, "My dad has been urging me to get married for the past few years, asking me if I have a boyfriend. It got even more outrageous after I turned thirty. A while ago, I was so pressured that I told him you were my boyfriend, and he finally calmed down a bit."

"Alright, I forgive you for acting first and informing me later." Knowing there was a reason behind it, Chu Zhuo didn't press the matter. He asked a question he was concerned about, "Lying isn't a long-term solution. What are you planning to do in the future? I can't just..."

"Why not?" Lu Tingzhou gently interrupted him, his palm enveloping Chu Zhuo's hand resting on the bed. "Zhuo Bao, we'll be together for a lifetime anyway, so being together is a lifetime too. Don't you want that?"

Chu Zhu stared intently at Lu Tingzhou, his gaze sharp and unsettling. Lu Tingzhou raised his hand to cover Chu Zhu's eyes, his curled eyelashes brushing against his palm like small fans.

Just as he was considering whether to brush it off with a joke, Chu Zhuo suddenly asked, "Lu Tingzhou, do you like me?"

Lu Tingzhou pursed his lips, not lowering his hand, but instead leaning down in that position, approaching those still pale and bloodless lips, and gently pressing his hand against them.

It touched and then immediately moved away, without making any unnecessary movements.

Her eyelashes brushed against his palm more quickly, Lu Tingzhou's lips tightened, and his voice deepened: "Zhuobao, do you want to like me?"

They asked similar questions, but occupied completely opposite positions.

Chu Zhuo grabbed Lu Tingzhou's wrist and pushed away the large, thick hand that was blocking his eyes. When their eyes met, he could feel that Lu Tingzhou was obviously very nervous.

"Lu Tingzhou, there's a first-come, first-served rule. I asked first, so you should answer my question first. You like me, don't you?" Chu Zhu tilted his head, deliberately keeping a straight face so that it was impossible to tell what his attitude was.

Unsure, Lu Tingzhou gave a heartfelt and firm answer: "Yes, I like you."

The man's narrow eyes gazed tenderly at the boy on the bed, his Adam's apple bobbing uncontrollably, and an undisguised love welled up in his eyes.

"..."

Chu Zhuo looked at him quietly for a while, about ten seconds, then suddenly leaned forward, tilted her head back slightly, pouted her lips, and kissed Lu Tingzhou's thin lips. Their breaths almost mingled.

Lu Tingzhou was dumbfounded.

They remained pressed together quietly for a while, but Chu Zhuo didn't taste anything special. She withdrew her lips, sat up straight, and asked in confusion, "Lu Tingzhou, kissing doesn't seem to be anything special. Did you kiss me just now because you like me? I kissed you too, but I didn't feel anything different."

"..." It's really hard to resist when a slow-witted person goes straight for the ball. Lu Tingzhou suppressed the lust in his eyes.

The time they spent together had been enough for him to see clearly that Chu Zhuo had feelings for him, even feelings that went beyond ordinary affection. He had originally planned to confess his feelings in the next few days.

Since he'd been exposed, Lu Tingzhou reluctantly used a comparison: "If it were someone else, would Zhuobao accept being treated like this?"

"No." Chu Zhuo blurted out the refusal, then paused for a moment.

He seemed to have figured it out, his clear, watery eyes sparkling: "Lu Tingzhou, it seems like no one else can kiss me, only you can."

Lu Tingzhou could hardly contain himself; his breathing instantly became heavy, especially his clear and bright eyes, which seemed to gleam with an uncanny light. He looked so adorable.

Speaking such straightforward words in a serious manner is like a silent invitation.

"...Zhuobao, can I kiss you again?" Lu Tingzhou was about to lose his gentlemanly facade and made a feigned request, "This time I want a deeper kiss."

There was an unsettling aura about the man, which piqued Chu Zhuo's curiosity about the deeper differences. She raised her chin and said, "Go ahead and kiss me."

Just wait patiently for what will happen next.

Lu Tingzhou was so distracted by Chu Zhuo's attitude that he was already aroused before the conversation even started. He knelt on the bed on one knee, held the back of Chu Zhuo's head with his right hand to prevent him from escaping halfway, and kissed him while pinching his chin with his left hand.

The unfamiliar, rough, sticky substance stirred within Chu Zhuo, causing him to tremble with a start.

He instinctively backed away, but his head was firmly held in place by a large hand, leaving him nowhere to escape. Tears welled up in his eyes, and his mouth gradually went numb.

After what seemed like several minutes, Lu Tingzhou finally let him go. Chu Zhuo gasped for breath, noticing out of the corner of his eye the man's eager expression, as if he wanted to do it again. He covered his mouth with his hand, his voice muffled as he said, "That's enough, that's enough. Stop kissing me, or I'll go crazy."

"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Tingzhou smoothed Chu Zhuo's hair, which he had ruffled. "Baby, we're boyfriend and girlfriend now, right?"

Chu Zhuo, still recovering her strength, was then thoroughly kissed, pressing her entire weight onto Lu Tingzhou: "Yes, but it's really tiring. Do couples have to kiss every day?"

Lu Tingzhou didn't want her newly acquired boyfriend to run away, so after thinking it over, she said with some difficulty, "No need, this kind of thing will only be done when things naturally fall into place."

"Phew, that's good. You kissed me too deeply, I felt like you were going to eat me up." Chu Zhu patted her chest and complained to his face, "You're too fierce. You're not the same person when you kiss."

"Not now." Lu Tingzhou suppressed his still unsatisfied thoughts, lowered his head, and kissed away the remaining tear stains at the corner of Chu Zhuo's eyes.

Chu Zhuo didn't understand Lu Tingzhou's implied meaning and thought that her relationship was going quite well.

As 001 previously stated, he would remain in this world until his data body reached the end of its natural lifespan.

The long river and Lu Tingzhou's words seem really quite good.
