In Xianyu Studio, Fatty Li Lixi got up early as usual, washed up, and then put on a sports suit. Then he sat on the edge of the bed and looked out the window.
This has been his daily routine in the past few months.
It's like this every morning.
Time passed little by little, and several people in the same dormitory with him were still fast asleep. Li Lixi put one arm on the desk in front of him, resting his chin on his palm, and held half a cigarette in his other hand, taking a sip.
Smoking.
In fact, his addiction to cigarettes is not big, it is mainly to refresh himself.
No, even with a cigarette in his hand, his head was still like a chicken pecking at rice, nodding down from time to time.
He didn't know how long he waited, but he finally saw Xu Qin walking out of the villa door. Today she was wearing a pink sportswear, red sneakers, and a simple ponytail. As she walked, the ponytail appeared on her
The back of my head trembled.
When Li Lixi saw her figure, he perked up and quickly stuffed half of the cigarette in his hand into the empty can on the table, then quickly stood up and ran towards the door of the dormitory.
Soon, he also walked out of the villa gate.
Not long after, he jogged to catch up with Xu Qin in front of him.
Xu Qin has the habit of running in the morning. Li Lixi has long figured it out. He wants to chase Xu Qin and has been creating opportunities for himself. No, in recent months, he has started running in the morning.
He gets up early every day and sits by the window waiting for Xu Qin to go out. As soon as he sees her going out, he will follow her out quickly.
He is not light, but not very courageous.
For a few months, most of the time he was just a dozen meters behind Xu Qin, and sometimes even farther away.
Only a few times did he pluck up the courage to catch up with her, pretending to meet her by chance, and go for a morning jog with her.
As a person who writes articles for a living, he also has visions of his own love. Regarding how to pursue Xu Qin and what the most beautiful love between them would look like, Li Lixi has visions in his mind.
He thought that he should act more honest.
Being honest should make her think that he is honest and reliable.
Moreover, his chubby appearance can also add to the persuasiveness of his simplicity.
He also thought that the most beautiful love should be implicit. The love between many male and female protagonists in movies and TV shows was born out of close contact over time.
He felt that if he came forward to confess his love directly, he might scare Xu Qin, and then he would no longer be a friend, and it would be harder to have the opportunity to contact her in the future.
Therefore, he deliberately followed her in the morning jog every day, not far or near.
He didn't even mind when she occasionally looked back and saw him following her. He wanted her to get used to him following her when she went for her morning jog every day.
Isn’t there a love guru on the Internet who says that when a woman gets used to you appearing in her life, she will gradually become inseparable from you.
He wanted love to come naturally, and he longed for the day when she would take the initiative to run up to him and ask him - "You follow me every day, do you like me?"
He had even thought about it. If one day she ran up to him and asked like this, he would give her a warm and honest smile and say shyly: "Yes, I just like you! You can do me
Girlfriend?"
He believed that by then, she would be moved by his silent love and silent persistence.
Because he had such a longing in his heart, he could persist for several months. Whenever Xu Qin went out for a run every morning, he would silently follow behind.
He wanted her to slowly get used to his presence.
…
Naturally, the roads in the community cannot all be straight. There are many winding paths. Xu Qin was running, and when passing a corner, the corner of his eye accidentally caught sight of Li Lixi who was following behind.
Li Lixi is very fat.
At a glance, she could even see the flesh on his face trembling while he was running.
At that time, she frowned slightly.
Turning her eyes, she suddenly stopped and looked at Li Lixi behind her from the corner of her eye, only to find that he had also stopped.
Xu Qin curled her lips slightly, sighed secretly, turned around and walked towards him.
Li Lixi saw Xu Qin walking towards him uncharacteristically today.
I suddenly felt a little panicked and subconsciously looked around, wanting to turn around and leave.
But the next moment, he felt happy again, because he noticed that Xu Qin's cheeks were a little flushed as she was walking towards him. At this moment, he didn't think about whether it was because she was running just now. He subconsciously felt that she was shy.
Is she going to come over and have a showdown with me?
Is the scene that I have dreamed of for so long about to become a reality?
Thinking of this possibility, Li Lixi felt happy and nervous at the same time.
But his longing for a better future gave him the courage to stand there and watch her approach with a simple smile on his face.
Soon.
Xu Qin frowned and came to him, tilted her head slightly and looked at him and asked: "Do you like me?"
Xu Qin today is much more beautiful than when she first came to Xianyu Studio, her figure has become rounder and her temperament has also improved.
There are currently seven women in the Xianyu Studio. Her appearance and temperament should be said to be second only to General Manager Fu Lei.
And Fu Lei...because she is the general manager, not many men in Xianyu Studio dare to care about her, so Xu Qin becomes everyone's first target.
For Li Lixi, the scene before him, including the questions she just asked, were very similar to the most beautiful scene he had dreamed of.
Could it be that I finally touched her?
Secretly clenching his fists, he tried hard to maintain a simple and honest smile, lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes! I have liked you for a long time, can you, can you be my girlfriend?"
After saying this, he fell into anxious waiting.
He felt that there was a heaven and a hell waiting for him in front of him. If she agreed, he could enter heaven. If she refused, he would instantly fall into hell.
Xu Qin rolled her eyes slightly, with a helpless expression on her face, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I have someone I like, Li Lixi, you better stop wasting your time on me in the future. It's really not worth it! You understand me.
Do you understand?"
Li Lixi's honest smile froze on his face, his heart sank instantly, and a sour taste filled his heart.
At this moment, he doesn't have to act anymore.
The chubby face lifted up little by little, the silly smile on his face revealed a hint of grievance, his eyelashes suddenly trembled unnaturally, and he stared blankly at Xu Qin in front of him.
She is still so beautiful, with a little baby face, so white, her skin is so shiny, it seems to be glowing, and her eyes are so bright, so like the eyes of the island country's diva, Ayumi Hamasaki.
If his persistence over the past few months was successful, he should be able to hold her in his arms at this moment. But at this moment, she was standing in front of him, a little more than one meter away, but he felt so far away. She refused.
Got him.
She said she has someone she likes...
"I understand, I understand..."
Li Lixi reluctantly said these two words with a wry smile.
Xu Qin looked at him, nodded slightly, shook her hand, turned around and continued running, but Li Lixi finally stopped following him this time.
He stood motionless, just watching her run away, just like Wang Dachui in "Unexpectedly", looking at the sunset on the horizon, thinking of his lost youth.
Returning to Xianyu Studio dejectedly, Li Lixi found that many colleagues had already gotten up, some were going to wash up, some were playing with their mobile phones, and some were having instant noodles for breakfast.
Someone in the studio makes breakfast for everyone every morning, but there are always some people who don't like it and choose to make noodles in the dormitory by themselves.
Li Lixi also does this sometimes.
But today he sat on the edge of the bed, silently lighting up another cigarette.
The roommate who slept in the bed opposite him was eating instant noodles and surfing the Internet on his personal laptop. His eyes only glanced at Li Lixi when he entered the door just now.
Suddenly, the roommate said "Yeah" and looked at the computer screen with a surprised expression.
The attention of Li Lixi and another roommate in the same dormitory was attracted by the "yeah".
Li Lixi, who was in a bad mood, frowned and asked: "Lao San, what is your name so early in the morning? Is your idol dead?"
Another roommate also expressed dissatisfaction, "That's it! Third brother, please calm down, okay? Don't be so surprised. Brother Xi and I can't bear it!"
The young man they called Lao San didn't argue at all. He just pointed at the computer screen in front of him in surprise and shouted: "Come and see! Come and see for yourselves! Look at the announcement on the Qidian official website! The boss's new book is available for first order."
It’s crazy!”
Li Lixi and another roommate frowned, looked suspicious, and hesitantly came over and looked at the third child's laptop screen.
The next second, the roommate who just asked the third child to calm down swore: "Holy shit! Is it true? The first order is more than 40,000 yuan? Is there any mistake? Is this really the first order for our boss's new book?"
Li Lixi didn't say anything, but his eyes looking at the computer screen were a little dull.
What did they see?
There is a big banner hanging above the home page of Qidian's official website. The big red banner has an announcement: "Warmly celebrate that the first order of "Dead Man's Last Wish" on this website has exceeded the 40,000 mark!!!"
As an employee of Xianyu Studio, Li Lixi and the others naturally knew that the book "The Last Wish of the Dead" was the new work of their boss Sun Quan.
Moreover, contrary to their various psychology, they have also been reading "The Last Wish of the Dead" recently.
Or to learn from the success of this book. After all, since the day this book was published, various data have increased explosively.
Or maybe one day in the future, when I have the opportunity to have private contact with my boss, I can praise the wonderful features of "Dead Man's Last Wish" with some words and words, so that the flattery will not be so embarrassing.
But at this moment, looking at the big red banner announcement at the top of the home page of the Qidian official website, Li Lixi was shocked and suddenly had another idea.
——If I were not a gunman, if my work could achieve one-tenth of the results of the boss's book, then... would Xu Qin still reject me today?
He doesn't know the answer.
But he felt that he could no longer stay here and be a gunman. He suddenly wanted to resign and leave like Pan Yun who had resigned before.
As far as he knew, after Pan Yun left here, his works were quite good and his income was much higher than when he was here.
