Zhou Wenkang also felt a little relieved and now tried his best to explain his thoughts.
"I didn't know it was you at first..."
He used the same old-fashioned affectionate style and tried hard to coax Lu Li, and his words were all about "fate is destined".
Both of them have strong confidence in themselves——
Lu Li thought: Yes.
I am so good, if anyone can see the real me, they will like me no matter what.
Although I don't look beautiful, that's because I don't have money to dress up.
Although my income is not high now, I used to have a high income.
How could you not like me?
…
Zhou Wenkang felt that——
With an image like his, he can be considered handsome among boys no matter what.
Well, it is normal for girls to be obsessed with themselves.
Besides, Lu Li's skin is now yellow, her face is haggard, her breasts are hunched over, and she is fat...
Besides yourself, who else would like such an image?
It was only a matter of time before she accepted herself from the bottom of her heart.
…
The two stood facing each other, with a forced smile on their lips at this moment, but they did not understand the core truth between the sexes——
For most men, he can be so ordinary and so confident.
For a small number of girls, even though I am fat, ugly and have no skills, there must be a man as good as a domineering president who will fall in love with me regardless of anything.
The mentality of both parties is as follows. This meeting between netizens was really a super success.
…
But even the most basic relationship cannot be filled with a sip of the spring breeze from Liudi.
Zhou Wenkang chose a good spot. Seeing that the time was dragging to noon, he stood up in an extraordinarily gentlemanly manner——
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat for lunch? I heard that there is a special steamed bun shop nearby. Do you want to try it?"
Lu Li:......?
Who wants to eat steamed buns? Shouldn’t we have Western-style steak on a date?
There was a smile on her lips, but her heated heart calmed down a little bit——
Sure enough, a country is easy to change, but a character is hard to change.
Zhou Wenkang is still so stingy.
The reason why she is in a relationship with him must be because she thinks that she is very good and can make money, right?
Lu Li felt a little sober inside, but also felt a little uncomfortable.
——Because she hasn’t made a lot of money since she changed her website.
…
The website she chose out of anger was not small in scale and very formal, but to maintain its popularity in the early stage, it required a large number of free periods. This free period alone would last at least two months.
Whether it can be put on the shelves after two months depends on the editor's mood and data from all parties, including recommendation positions.
For a fast-paced author like her, it does more harm than good.
Moreover, the new website page is very simple and has a low sense of interactivity. When Dreamweaver Literature Network continues to cooperate with major celebrities and popular TV series to do interactive activities, other websites, large and small, have been affected to some extent.
Especially female readers.
This is another disadvantage.
In addition, Lu Li's story was quite sensational at the time - she dared to fire her boss even though she earned 30,000 yuan a month, which attracted many authors to the Dreamweaver Literature Network.
Everyone agreed that with such a high income, they could scold them at will and fall out whenever they wanted...how could they be so polite when talking to editors?
It must be because the website conditions and benefits are so good.
Of course, these are all digressions.
…
But for Lu Li, her inspiration is limited. In order to write and save manuscripts more quickly, the new book is basically a new book from the previous one.
Her brainless style is marketable at all times, but even after becoming anonymous, everyone in the comment area has to mention the previous things, which will inevitably affect the reading experience.
In addition, the number of readers of the new website is not that large, so the results are barely satisfactory.
The reason why she was able to survive was that there was really no other way - she couldn't find someone to borrow an ID card and go to the Dream Weaver Literature Internet Cafe again?
Not to mention whether she can spare her face - who would be willing to lend her her ID card?
After finally putting it on the shelves, she could easily release a large number of her manuscripts. However, in today's era where the concept of "see if the genuine ones are sick" is rampant, other websites are not as hard-working as Dream Weaver Literature Network.
Life-breaking genuine benefits and a sense of accomplishment for fans...
On the Dreamweaver Literature Network, since the big boss injected capital and did not seek to make a profit in the early stage, the gift coins were generous. Calculated, if you only need to invite 3 to 5 friends to register, then the basic money donated by the backend will be enough to read the next book "One Hundred RMB"
A novel with words.
At the same time, every time you insist on being authentic for a period of time or chase a book to a specific stage, the backend of the website will give out additional rewards.
The reward is not big, but piracy doesn't have any advantage after all.
What's more, the comment section of the genuine website is so interesting...
In short, after changing the website, Lu Li did not say whether the novel was suitable or not, but just based on readers’ habits——
Does it feel good to update 30,000 times a day?
Cool!
Does it feel good to spend money to read books every day?
What? It still costs money? Then why not go to Tieba and browser?
…
Just thinking about this makes Lu Li's face go numb.
In comparison, eating steamed buns for lunch is not an unacceptable thing.
What's more, Zhou Wenkang's overall image is far different from the boy in her fantasy.
She sighed:
Forget it, let's just explain it later after dinner.
She has no money.
Even if you have money, you cannot give it to others.
She has to wait for the arrival of her destined person - the dormitory aunt's thick registration book has been written to the end. As long as she changes it, she will have a chance to see the other person's identity!
Lu Li clenched her fists.
It's a pity that school started this year, and even though she kept wandering around the girls' dormitory, she still didn't see him.
…
Zhou Wenkang had indeed made a strategy, and now he led Lu Li along the willow embankment for a while, then turned directly into the alley.
The old houses on both sides are quite unique. In the winding alleys, passers-by can be seen carrying large bags of steamed buns from time to time.
Lu Li couldn't help but look at her for a while longer.
Zhou Wenkang smiled reservedly:
"Although it's a bit crude to treat you to steamed buns for lunch, I think it's still necessary to try local specialties occasionally."
He said in his usual affectionate tone: "Do you mind?"
"But I'm here now. Even if you don't like it, I'd like you to give it a try for my sake."
If Bai Shanshan were here, she would probably give him a surprised look - is your face so good that pickles can be eaten with food?
But Lu Li is not Bai Shanshan.
At this moment, he followed silently.
…
Zhou Wenkang continued to introduce to her:
"The buns in this store are not actually a century-old store. It has only been famous for one year."
"But everyone who has tasted it says it tastes very good, there are many flavors to choose from, and the ingredients are made with real ingredients and are very distinctive..."
"The boss was forced by family debts, so she left her hometown and came to the imperial capital to make a living. Together with her husband..."
"Now both husband and wife have achieved some success..."
The other party spoke so softly, and even though Lu Li resisted in her heart, she still felt that she couldn't remain silent.
So he added: "Not only that, I heard that his husband made money and bought a building and started a decoration company."
Zhou Wenkang was choked up in his heart.
He couldn't help but feel a little irritated - buying a building, buying a house... Is it so easy to buy a house in the imperial capital now?
Why is it so difficult for him to find a satisfactory employer?
…
But this was really not the time to lose his temper, so he could only force a smile and said:
"Look, this is it -"
It was approaching noon, there were not many buns left, and there were not many people at the door. The eldest sister, who was dressed fresh and clean, turned around and said:
"When you go back to the Magic City, don't forget to show me the production line..."
The old neighbors at the door all laughed and said, "Hey, what production line are you looking at? Are you planning to build a big factory?"
The lady selling steamed buns is very skillful:
"Look, what kind of big business are you talking about? Isn't it just a bun seller? But the owner of the shopping mall that Chang cooperates with said that he is planning to open a chain store and asked me if I want to build two production lines specifically for frozen buns..."
She seemed a little embarrassed: "You said I don't understand, and I've never been outside. It happened that my man was participating in an exchange on decoration or something, so I asked him to go and inquire about it..."
…
There was a happy atmosphere at the door, but Lu Li suddenly turned pale.
Zhou Wenkang didn't know anything yet, and his expression was also very ugly - these days, why do the bun sellers look better than him?
When the first few people dispersed, the bun seller looked at the basket and said loudly:
“There’s only green pepper meat left for lunch, do you want more?”
When she raised her head, she was also stunned.
Zhou Wenkang took a step forward: "Is this the only one left?"
However, the eldest sister in front of me quickly put the cages back together: "There are none left. Please go buy them elsewhere."
"Our small business cannot get into the princess's mouth."
Zhou Wenkang:???
He belatedly turned his head to look at Lu Li beside him, and it took him a long time to express his doubts:
"You... know each other?"
…
At this moment, Lu Li's heart was already in turmoil.
All the words I heard along the way melted into my mind——
Bought a building...
Decoration company……
Steamed bun production line...
Think about the original two suites in the home...
Her whole body was trembling. She took a step forward and complained:
"So you are all on guard against me, right?"
"Obviously life at home is so good——"
"Even shit can't stop your mouth!" Pearl knocked the iron tongs used to hold the buns on the countertop.
"How shameful are you for saying this?"
…
There was a sneer on her face, and she was speaking seriously without any emotion at all.
There was no news until the end of college. The old man and the old lady were waiting at home during the Chinese New Year. After moving, they even secretly told the neighbors...
Look, as long as she is serious about being a daughter, who can stop them from being reunited as a family?!
"I'm still guarding you... God, I'm so busy that I don't even have time to spare. I don't have anyone who calls my daughter or sister to call home!"
"Oh, I forgot, these talented sisters can earn tens of thousands a month just by trampling on family members and making up stories!"
"Then you can't let me, the greedy and vicious sister-in-law, the useless and stupid elder brother, and the unreasonable younger brother, including your patriarchal parents, get involved!"
…
Pearl spoke loudly, with a loud voice that she wanted to shout through the whole alley. Lu Li seemed to feel that the neighbors were starting to poke their heads in.
Her face was ashamed and embarrassed, but more importantly, she was filled with anger——
"Is it my fault?"
"Don't you hide everything from me? Do you still look down on me?"
"yes."
Lu Li felt choked in her heart.
Pearl was clearing the countertop, and she didn't even think about arguing with her at the moment:
"Miss, when you are free, go back and make up your story. No matter how disgusting your brother and sister-in-law are, just write whatever you want - is it possible that your brother can still knock on the door?"
"He's a rough guy with no education, and he can't do this kind of thing."
…
After packing up her things, she turned around and went into the house, leaving Lu Li standing there alone, obviously full of grievances before she could express them, so she just went back.
Zhou Wenkang looked at him with a particularly strange look. Lu Li was about to complain and say a few words, when a slightly thin boy walked towards her.
The other party was carrying a schoolbag and asked politely: "Do you two want to buy steamed buns? Or do you want to see how they are dressed?"
He saw Lu Li's face clearly.
At this moment, his expression changed several times, and finally settled on boredom.
But Lu Li took a lot of effort to see clearly——
"Little sea?!"
She raised her voice in disbelief.
…
In her impression, Xiaohai was a short, dark boy. Apart from doing well in school, he talked little, was not energetic, and was not lovable at all.
But the boy in front of me must be 1.7 meters tall.
Although his skin is still a little dark, it's just a little. His eyes are bright and his cheeks have some flesh, but his long hands and feet make him look a little thin.
Wearing a blue and white school uniform, she looks particularly youthful.
"Why did you grow so tall? So fast?"
Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
Xiaohai looked up at her and said coldly:
"It's nothing. My family used to be poor, so I only ate meat once when you came back. Now that I've transferred to another school, my sister-in-law cooks fish and meat every day. It's normal for her to have grown."
…
Lu Li's expression suddenly became strange.
"Are you blaming me?"
She looked a little angry - "Do I still owe you?"
"They remember my brother sending me to school every day and lending me tuition fees. Okay, just think that I owe them - but do I owe you?"
"What's your attitude?"
She was so angry that her eyes were red.
"What do you want to do?" Pearl opened the courtyard door and hurried out, stopping in front of Xiaohai:
"Why are you angry at your brother?"
"If you have the ability to explain it clearly in person!"
"Who owes whom?"
"You owe everyone in this family!"
…
After Pearl finished speaking, she felt very happy. Now she turned to Xiao Hai and said:
"Hurry back and wash your hands and eat. Do your homework after eating. Don't let your parents hear."
"You have a lot of homework now, don't waste time here."
Xiao Hai shook his head and took a deep breath:
"Sister, please stop talking about this nonsense. It sounds boring."
"Do you think your family owes you anything? My brother should send you to school, but shouldn't he pay your tuition?"
"He and his sister-in-law have all paid off the family's debts. Why are you so brazen and yelling?"
"In this world, it is the obligation and responsibility of parents to raise children. I have never heard of my brother and sister-in-law having to raise them."
