This time, little beauty Sun Jiexin celebrated her birthday and received a bunch of gifts.
After returning home, Sun Quan sat on the sofa with his daughter in his arms and played with her, while Yuan Shuiqing opened the gift boxes one by one with the help of Cai Yanan.
Every time he opened something, Yuan Shuiqing carefully wrote down in a small book with a pen, who gave it, what it was, etc.
When they were not paying attention, Sun Quan quietly took out a small gift box from his arms. After opening it, there was a pendant with a white jade piggy attached to a red string.
This pendant looks ordinary, but if you look closely at the carving of the little pig, you will find that it is very exquisite, lifelike and vivid.
As soon as the pendant was taken out, the little beauty Sun Jiexin's big eyes lit up and she reached out to grab it.
Sun Quan chuckled and tied the pendant around his daughter's neck.
This is his first birthday gift as a father to his daughter.
This pendant looks simple, but it was custom-made by him specially from a jade shop.
The quality of the jade is also high-quality mutton-fat white jade. Even though this small pendant seems inconspicuous, it is very expensive!
He quietly tied it up for his daughter, and quietly raised his finger to his mouth to signal his daughter to be silent and not to make any noise. But how old is the little beauty Sun Jiexin? She is only one year old! How can she have such a tacit understanding with him?
Her attention was completely attracted by the pig pendant on the red rope. The red rope was tied around her neck. She grabbed the pendant and pulled it there with her little hands. Not only did she pull hard, she also made a babbling sound from her little mouth.
When Sun Quan reached out to cover her mouth, it was already too late.
The eyes of Yuan Shuiqing and Cai Yanan, who were counting the gifts, were attracted.
At a glance, he saw the white jade pendant in the little guy's hand and the red rope around his neck.
Before Cai Yanan could do anything, Yuan Shuiqing had already walked over with a frown on her face, stretched out her hand to open her daughter's little hand, and said coaxingly: "Xin Xin, open your hands, let's show it to mom, mom, just take a look..."
After reading it, she looked at Sun Quan with suspicion in her eyes, "Who gave this pendant to me? It's not cheap, is it?"
"you guess!"
Sun Quan smiled and raised his eyebrows at her.
"Your parents gave it to you? That's not right! Didn't your parents already give you a gift?"
Yuan Shuiqing was guessing as she untied the red rope around her daughter's neck.
When Sun Quan saw it, he was a little anxious, "Hey, why did you take it off? Doesn't it look good?"
Yuan Shuiqing made three strokes, put the pendant and red rope into the palm of his hand, and rolled his eyes at him, "Don't you see that Xinxin keeps pulling at you? The rope will strangle her neck. Her skin is so tender, why are you so nervous?
?Who gave it to me?"
After a pause, Yuan Shuiqing suddenly looked up at him, frowned and asked, "You didn't buy it as a gift, right?"
Sun Quan looked at the shallow red mark on his daughter's neck and sighed, "Yes! I bought it. If I had known that Xinxin couldn't wear it now, I would have bought something else."
"Did you really buy it? How much did it cost?"
Yuan Shuiqing asked casually.
Sun Quan shook his head, "Don't worry about how much it costs. It's for Xinxin anyway. It doesn't matter how much it costs. It's quite expensive anyway. Just keep it!"
Yuan Shuiqing glanced at him, smiled, didn't ask any questions, and went back to count the gifts.
Mr. Sun, on the other hand, was a little depressed. After much thought, he specially customized the first birthday gift for his daughter, but he couldn't wear it for the time being.
The little pig carved on the jade pendant is his daughter's zodiac sign. When he customized it, he felt that such a pendant was very meaningful to his daughter, so he placed the order.
The pendant was taken away by Yuan Shuiqing, and the little guy twisted around in Sun Quan's arms, babbling non-stop.
Then Yuan Shuiqing brought a music box, and the sweet music sounded. As the little angel statue on the music box slowly rotated, the little beauty Sun Jiexin was finally diverted, staring at the music box with a pair of cute big eyes.
The music box is gone.
When Yuan Shuiqing put the music box into her hand, the little beauty Sun Jiexin giggled.
I couldn't put it down, and then I twisted the head of the little angel on the music box...
"Who gave you this music box?"
Sun Quan laughed as he watched his daughter twist the angel's head and asked Yuan Shuiqing with a smile.
"It's from Huo Yiyi. Well, Lorna didn't come today, but she asked Huo Yiyi to help her bring a gift to Xinxin. It's a white princess dress. It's very beautiful!"
Huo Yiyi? Rona?
When these two names hit his ears, Sun Quan blinked, nodded, said oh, and didn't ask anything else.
The suspicion of melons and plums still needs to be avoided.
He had always known that Yuan Shuiqing had suspected that Luo Na was interested in him, and he gradually discovered that Luo Na seemed to be really interested in him.
Therefore, sometimes he would subconsciously avoid suspicion.
As for how to avoid it?
Let’s put it this way!
When walking in someone else's melon field, don't squat down to tie your shoelaces even if your own are loose; similarly, when walking under someone else's plum tree, even if the hat on your head is crooked, don't raise your hand to straighten it.
This is Mr. Sun's experience. He recently wrote it in the plot of "The Sword of the Gods in the Clouds", so I can encourage you all!
Speaking of "The God-killing Sword in the Cloud"...
This month, San Shao's "Douluo" performed very vigorously, and the activity to ask for monthly votes was very lively. San Shao seemed to have already taken the stance of vowing to win the monthly ticket championship this month.
Sun Quan held off for several days and found that he was unable to do anything.
The recent plot of "Douluo" seems to be very popular with readers, and it is in a very exciting plot stage. In comparison, the current plot of his "Sword of the Clouds" is a bit dull.
After one plus and one minus, "Douluo" is currently firmly at the top of the monthly ticket list this month.
Sun Quan's "The Sword of Killing Gods in the Clouds" cannot topple "Douluo", nor can Broad Bean's "Fighting the Sky".
If nothing else, the champion of this month’s monthly ticket rankings should be “Douluo”.
Although Sun Quan felt a little regretful about this, he did not insist on competing for the monthly ticket championship this month.
His book "The Sword of Killing Gods in the Cloud" has won the monthly ticket championship for three consecutive months, achieving his third consecutive monthly ticket championship. He is satisfied with this honor and wants to continue to dominate the list?
He thinks that he doesn't have the strength yet, nor has he accumulated enough popularity.
Mentally giving up fighting for this month's monthly ticket championship, the pressure on him to update every day has been reduced a lot, and he has more time to carefully craft the subsequent plot.
On the monthly ticket list, as soon as he relaxed a little, "The Sword of Gods in the Clouds" slipped to the third place, and "Fighting the Sky" rushed to the second place.
Sun Quan remained unmoved by this.
For him, there is not much difference between second and third place if he cannot get first place.
Even if it drops a few more points, he doesn't really care.
He calmed down and began to review the plot of "The Sword of Killing Gods in the Clouds" that had been written so far.
The story of "The God-Slaying Sword in the Clouds" is different from his previous book "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon", that's for sure.
The story of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" is not so much one story, but actually a collection of several stories, and the thread that connects those stories... is actually the Ring of the Immortal Dragon.
Because of the immortal dragon ring, the male protagonist was reincarnated several times after his death.
Several stories seem to be separated from each other, but there are always many connections because the reborn male protagonist goes to the place where he lived in his previous life.
"The God-killing Sword in the Cloud" is not a collection of stories like that. The male protagonist never died once.
At the beginning of writing this book, Sun Quan set the biggest selling point, or novelty, for this book - the revival of spiritual energy.
In the context of the modern urban world, the legendary spiritual energy necessary for cultivators reappears on the earth, and then naturally causes various changes.
These include the mutations of humans, the mutations of birds and animals, and the mutations of various plants.
After these changes begin, it is inevitable that the entire human society will be changed, and many existing rules and regulations will be broken one by one.
As human beings gradually master some incredible powers, their ambitions gradually grow uncontrollably.
This is inevitable!
The protagonists in Marvel movies like to say: With great power comes great responsibility.
In Sun Quan's "Sword of God-killing Clouds", the greater the ability of an individual human being, the greater the ambition.
Some people who have gradually become stronger due to the recovery of spiritual energy are not competing to take on any responsibilities, but are competing for various resources, various rights, and beautiful women needed for cultivation...
As the spiritual energy recovers longer, the abilities of individual humans become stronger and stronger, and the whole world becomes more and more chaotic.
This kind of story actually becomes more difficult to control the later it gets written.
Because there are so many things that need to be considered and taken into consideration.
It is necessary to depict the continuous changes of the entire world, the collapse of the old order, and the emergence of the new order...
We also need to create strong human beings with different abilities, different personalities, and different behaviors after becoming strong.
As characters in a novel, these people must be good or bad, some just and some evil.
All of the above required Sun Quan to spend a lot of pen and ink to render and depict.
But anyone who knows Internet literature knows that the plot of an Internet novel cannot be separated from the male protagonist for a long time.
Before Sun Quan was reborn, an editor once said to him: Don't always write about supporting characters, write more about protagonists and heroines, and try to have most of the content related to the protagonist in each chapter! Let me tell you this,
Readers of online articles generally have very little patience. They would rather watch the protagonist in a daze than see the other supporting characters working hard...
Sun Quan didn’t quite agree with the editor’s rhetoric.
But he also knew in his heart that what the editor said was not completely unreasonable, so in the works he wrote later, he consciously did not let the male protagonist disappear for a long time.
If nothing happens, take the hero out for a walk.
But "The God-Slaying Sword in the Clouds" broke this habit of his, because this book needs to depict the changes in the world after the spiritual energy is revived, and the characters of some important supporting characters must also be established.
And these all require a lot of pen and ink.
This creates a conflict - Sun Quan cannot always write around the male protagonist, and often has to focus more on some important supporting characters.
This, to a certain extent, weakens the excitement of the main line of the book.
The above are his thoughts after reviewing the current plot of "The Sword in the Clouds".
He plans to appropriately adjust the focus of the plot in subsequent plots.
