In the community, the sound of cooking pots and spatulas could be heard in every household, and the thick smoke of fireworks enhanced the clouds on the horizon.
In a warm and peaceful atmosphere, there is always one family that is not so gregarious, neither cooking nor cozy.
Even...a little funny.
"Hey, what's going on? Your confession was rejected?"
Jian Yi took the freshly brewed Kang Shuaifu and glanced at Zhao Zichao, who was looking at nothing. "Idiot, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"I was scared," Lin Xi suppressed a smile, "In the script just now, he was attacked by that monster in the fog, and then... and then that was it."
"puff……"
"Hey, hey, is it funny!" Zhao Zichao was a little annoyed: "I am...this is..."
Jian Yan spread his hands and joked: "Some people always say that Zhao Zichao is a coward. Let me clarify that this is not a rumor."
"I'm so miserable! It's so scary..."
He looked at Lin Xi and Jian Yan, who had "I'll just let you make excuses" looks on their faces: "You two monsters should also understand how we ordinary people feel!"
"Hey, don't," Lin Xi immediately stood on the same front as Zhao Zichao, "My level of defiance is not as outrageous as Master's. I am still single at the age of 26..."
Today is exactly 520.
"Tch, who are you talking about being single? I am offering love opportunities to other compatriots, okay!" Jian Yan was poked at the sore point, and immediately retorted in a sinister manner: "I don't know who it is..."
"Hey wait, why are you two arguing again..."
On the side, the two people said in unison:
"Shut up!"
"Tsk..." Zhao Zichao reluctantly took out his mobile phone from his pocket: "Okay, okay, let me get down to business. The editor just sent a message, saying that he is resigning recently and we will have a new editor here."
"Oh? That's a good thing," Jian Yi was overjoyed, "Lao Li urges manuscripts every day, which makes me almost crazy... How about the new editor, male or female? Is it easy to handle? Are you in a hurry to push manuscripts? This
When will Zhou’s manuscript be due?”
"Hey, hey, I'm not a god, how do I know?" Zhao Zichao spread his hands and said, "I only know that she is a woman, I don't know anything else."
"Fortunately..." Jian Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "I can sleep well tonight."
"Have a good night's sleep? What a beautiful idea!" Lin Xi sighed, looked at Jian Yi with a retarded look, then pointed to the suitcase on the side, and instantly added: "You won't forget tomorrow.
Let’s work…”
"Tomorrow..." Jian Yi yawned, "What day is tomorrow?"
"I'm super!" He suddenly became energetic, "I'm going to have a big trip, will I go to the autograph session in S City tomorrow?"
"I just remembered...you really treat money like dirt, Master," Lin Xi picked up the luggage and looked at Jian Yi with disdain, who didn't care at all: "I was planning to leave just now, but you actually forgot, and you even realized afterward...
…”
Zhao Zichao disagreed: "Didn't Master say that money is something external to the body? This money is not an important thing after all. People, you still have to follow your heart first and don't be that kind of vulgar person. Junior sister, you are too small...
…”
"A vulgar person? Oh, yes, I am that kind of vulgar person. Since you are so noble, why don't you give me all your salary next month? How can you bear such a painful thing alone? You should give this to me
Leave the guilt to Junior Sister and let me share some of it!"
Lin Xi's starry eyes lit up: "How is it?"
"Well, well," Zhao Zichao was speechless for a moment, "Actually, the things outside of me are not completely useless. I'd better keep them for myself..."
"Co-authoring means just letting things have nothing to do with you, right?"
…
Ten minutes later, the three of them were standing downstairs, waiting for the Tuk-Tuk taxi driver to arrive.
"Master," Lin Xi glanced at the energetic Jian Yi, who was combing his messy hair: "I have a question."
"If you have something to say, tell me quickly, and if you have something to say, hurry up."
"What's going on in the game cabin next to you? We're going to sign a deal, not move!"
"Oh, you young people should be considerate of our elderly people's gaming needs," Jian Jian stopped what he was doing and said slowly, "Isn't it normal for you to want to play games in the hotel from time to time?"
"A twenty-six-year-old senior citizen?" Zhao Zichao complained, "You have to check this thing in!"
So how to explain this...
Should I tell you directly that I am sick and need to rely on games to treat it?
You wouldn’t believe it if I told you!
Fortunately, the usual persona is that of a person with slight mental problems. Even if he makes such an unnatural act temporarily, no one will say anything.
At most, I wonder if he is sick again.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you guys going to get in the car?" The driver on the roadside urged impatiently, "My wife is still waiting for me to go back!"
"Everyone has a wife..." Zhao Zichao was about to say something, but then silently looked at Jian Yi's murderous eyes and swallowed the second half of the sentence, "I didn't say anything, didn't say anything...
"
…
Although Zhao Zichao can drive and indeed bought a car, it is obviously impossible for them to drive all the way from City X to City S.
For more than 1,400 kilometers, even if Lin Xi and Zhao Zi drove in parallel, they would still be exhausted. In addition, the total cost of passing through toll stations and fuel is more than 800 yuan... It is not as easy as flying.
What? You ask why Jian Yi doesn’t drive?
He doesn't even have a driver's license, and he drives a hammer car.
But this is something that Lin Xi and Zhao Zichao often wonder about: Is this guy pretending not to know how to drive?
Helicopters, cruise ships, assault boats... He can use these strange means of transportation skillfully, but he can't drive...
…
Half an hour later, Xianyang International Airport.
"Let me tell you something," Jian Jian said while unloading things from the car: "I really don't remember there was such a thing as a book signing..."
Lin Xi, wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, spread his hands and said: "Of course you, the hands-off shopkeeper, don't remember that last month was the weekly book signing event in S City. It's just because you have been addicted to games recently and there are too many chapters in Pigeon. I'm afraid
You were beaten to death by readers, that’s why it was postponed.”
"What do I call being addicted to games? I'm obviously going out to collect information, okay?"
Jian Yi said confidently: "How can this be called catching fish? This is called accumulating inspiration!"
"Ah, yes, yes," Zhao Zichao went to pick up his luggage, "Speaking of which, Master, your game cabin still has to be checked in. It almost burst Master's trunk..."
Jian Yi shrugged and dragged the huge game cabin through the security check, seemingly not caring about the awe-inspiring looks around him.
"Mom, why is this brother dragging such a big thing?"
"So you should take cod liver oil well, otherwise you will become a fool in the future and be laughed at like that brother!"
The little boy nodded heavily: "I remember, Mom!"
Behind Jian Yi, the laughter of Lin Xi and Zhao Zichao suddenly rang out.
"Damn it, I've become a negative example, right..."
