At this time, it was already 6:30 in the evening, the April issue at the printing factory had already been plate-made, and Zhou Chuan's car was already waiting like a thief 800 meters away from the gate of Yuanyue Society, and everything seemed to have settled.
Yu Yao saw that the "boys and boys match" showed a suffocated expression, followed by overwhelming murderous aura, she picked up her mobile phone and called Lao Miao without saying a word. Yueshe had a dinner with someone less than 1,000 meters away, answered the phone with a drunken voice, and refused to come back to work overtime for revision.
"Okay, you come back now, or you never come back."
Yu Yao put down such a domineering sentence, hung up the phone and looked up, Chu Li was already calling the printing factory, apologizing one after another and asking the people in the printing factory to help re-make the plate, because the back cover must not be used—
Under the wind of harmony, the boss also specially emphasized that he should pay attention to responding to the call of the country. No one dares to make fun of this at the moment. It didn't take long to wait for "Little Immortal" to get out of the basket. If something happens now, there will be no "Moonlight" magazine next year.
Fortunately, the printing factory is the printing factory that the magazines of the Yuanyue Society have been cooperating with. Although everyone is unwilling to see this kind of thing happen, they still agree to wait for the new document to re-make the plate... Chu Li hung up the phone and talked with Yu Yao looked at each other for a few seconds, had no choice but to sit down, resigned himself to work overtime—
[The sailor invited by the monkey: Wait another half an hour!]
[Hiukawa: Didn't I go to wash the fish tank in the afternoon, so I will work overtime again?]
[Saijun invited by the monkey: I suddenly found that there was a problem with the board that Lao Miao was in charge of, and he refused to come back to work overtime. There was no other way but to deal with it first... I am not familiar with drawing software, so I have to waste some time.]
[Hikawa:...]
[Hikawa: It's only 6:10, you finish it before 7:00, it's my first date in 28 years, if you use "overtime" as an excuse to ruin it, I'll break your neck .]
[The sailors invited by the monkey: ... ... ... ...]
[The sailor invited by the monkey: Dating? Instead of going to dinner and cutting your hair with you?]
[The sailor invited by the monkey: Is this a date?]
[Hikawa: No, it's eating and haircut.]
[Hi Chuan: Where did I find you mentally handicapped?]
"..."
It was too late to say it, and it was too late, I couldn't care about the old seedlings, the river crabs, and the first ceremony, I immediately grabbed a mirror at hand and picked it up to take a look at my face; I opened my bag to see if I had any touch-ups Things; I finally took a look at my outfit today, ah, I knew I shouldn’t be wearing this black down jacket, it’s dead...
[Saijun invited by the monkey: Why didn’t you tell me TT in advance for the date? I could have behaved better, such as dressing up or something, at least I didn’t need to wear a down jacket.]
[Hikawa: I didn't consider your IQ, sorry.]
[Hikawa: What do you want to wear without a down jacket in such a cold day? Have you ever heard of the cold spring? I have to take you to the hospital when you are sick.]
[The sailor invited by the monkey: ... They obviously went to the movies together before.]
[Hi Chuan: Jiang and Cheng were also at that time? That also counts?]
[Hikawa: You mean the three of us shared my first date?]
[Hikawa: Who do you want to disgust?]
Chu Li saw that Hiukawa was about to come to visit and fight with her in the next second, so she didn't dare to say more, so she sent a perfunctory "Hey" and then put down her phone and rushed to the computer—
He neatly deleted Lao Miao's "Boys and Boys" completely. It took ten minutes to think about the copywriting, and finally bit the bullet like an old-fashioned hat and prepared to use "Go! Towards the Leviathan of dreams !” Such back cover words;
Then it took another 20 minutes, while calling to ask Ah Xiang, while groping a little bit like a blind man touching an elephant;
While accepting A Xiang's voice command, she studied how to use the typesetting software, and when she just touched a little bit and was ready to reprint...
The old Miao came back slowly.
Chu Li glanced at the lower right corner of the computer. At this time, almost forty minutes had passed since Yu Yao called Lao Miao. According to the place where he ate just now, it would take at most ten minutes to walk to Yuanyue Club.
Lao Miao smelled of alcohol, and when he got there, he glanced at Chu Li and Yu Yao who were working overtime. He didn't even say hello to them. and sat down next to her—
A gust of cool wind with a strong smell of alcohol came blowing, Chu Li turned his head and glanced at Lao Miao, watching him turn on the computer, Chu Li said: "You just came now, the new back cover is almost ready .”
Lao Miao still ignored him.
Instead, he opened Word on his own, and under the gaze of both Chu Li and Yu Yao, adjusted the font to the largest font size, blackened and bolded, centered, and quickly typed three words—
[Letter of Resignation].
First ceremony: "..."
Yu Yao: "..."
…
It was a quarter to seven.
Sitting in the car, Hiukawa raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist for the seventh time—under the background of modern people who habitually use their mobile phones to check the time, this action simply represents the impatience and irritability of the person who made the action. He weighed the phone in his hand, hesitated again and again, but still didn't make the urgent call.
Hiukawa sat in the car frowning, until the next second, he saw a group of people wrapped up in a ball trotting all the way approaching... She was wearing black short boots, a black skirt, and a black down jacket. Under the milky white turtleneck sweater, the whole person was shrunk from the cold, and his eyes were blown into two lines by the north wind——
She stopped not far from the Richuan car, and she looked like a meerkat, trying to stretch her neck, looking around as if she was looking for something.
"..."
Such a scene easily suppressed the man's previous irritability, and the negative emotions in his heart disappeared all of a sudden. The man unlocked the car door, turned on the headlights, and honked the horn.
Then she saw that Chu Li turned her head around all of a sudden, rushed to the side of the car and opened the door of the passenger seat as if jumping up, and got into the car with a tangy icy smell of ice and snow, she let out a long sigh, Twitching the reddened nose tip: "It's thawed, it's thawed, I feel like a quick-frozen octopus that's been frozen hard..."
"I think it's salted fish..."
Hiukawa didn't finish his words.
Two cold little paws protruding from the side pulled his hand, the man stared at his big hand being held and stopped talking for a moment, but saw that she just touched the hand with the watch on his hand and stretched out her head Glancing at his watch, he smiled happily: "Six forty-eight, ten minutes before seven o'clock, I didn't delay anything at all, I'm really a genius!"
The silly and optimistic look with a very happy smile on his face forced Hiukawa to swallow the phrase "I'm afraid you'll leave work early and I'll be here at 5:30" back into his stomach.
He just patted her on the head and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Fortunately," Chu Li rubbed his hands and put them close to the outlet of the heater and air conditioner, "I redid the back cover, and it took me 20 minutes, mainly because I don't know how to use software, so I started to learn again... Actually If Lao Miao comes back by himself or whoever is here, I think it will be fine for a few minutes, but he refuses to come back. I almost finished it before he came back smelling of alcohol. Wherever he sat, he started to use fear of being seen. Write a letter of resignation in bold font size 1…”
Chu Li thought for a while and said, "Maybe Yu Yao's attitude recently made him feel aggrieved, that's why he drank so much."
"Resignation letter? What do you think?" Hiukawa asked casually.
"I don't think much about it. I've lived through this kind of aggrieved life for a year? The only time I felt anxious and wanted to resign was the first time when your "Luohe Divine Book" was first released at the book fair, and I saw those cosplayer fans accounted for it. On the other hand, when your readers want to buy books but can't get in," Chu Li put down his hand from the air conditioner, "there was another time a few days ago, Suo Heng's "Little Immortal" had an accident, and readers had nowhere to complain. There is no way to take it, and the printing factory has no choice but to return the goods in a muffled voice or look at a loss... "
"Your head is full of readers."
"Yuanyue Club has always sold books. I used to watch "Star Trail" magazine grow up, and I didn't notice any difference... But when Yuanyue Club joined the music "Moonlight", the sales channels it faced were the same as books. When the variety increases and becomes complicated, I always feel—"
"what?"
"I always feel as if the Yuanyue Club is not in line with my ideas."
"That's why I told you not to come, but you didn't listen."
At this moment, Chu Li, who was leaning on the window and watching the scenery passing by the window quickly, was slightly taken aback. She raised her head to look at Zhou Chuan, and said blankly, "When did you tell me not to come to Yuanyue Club? I will come to Yuanyue Society." You weren't there at the Moon Club."
"..."
In the dim car, Hiukawa glanced at her, but said nothing.
After a while, the car drove to the urban area, and the surroundings finally became lively. Although it was cold in late spring and the weather was bitingly cold, the neon lights, crowds, and vehicles on the streets were as bustling and lively as a big city should be... Amidst the traffic, Hiukawa made a special trip to buy His new car was unremarkable, so he randomly found a parking space on the side of the road and entered it. When the car was parked, he turned his head and saw that the person sitting in the co-pilot who had been quiet all the way had fallen asleep.
She leaned her head against the window, closed her eyes, let out a peaceful and gentle snort, her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes, her face was exhausted after removing the cover-
On the mobile phone in her hand, WeChat is still jumping out new messages one after another. I don't know what the content is, because the owner has set it to no longer display detailed information...
Hiukawa suddenly remembered that when they first met a year ago, she was still a newcomer who didn't know anything. At that time, her mobile phone information, whether it was Q or WeChat, showed others the contents of the letter generously. For this reason, he laughed at her, saying that she has no defense against others, does not understand the world, and will suffer sooner or later.
It's only been a year—
The man raised his hand and used his fingertips to brush away the hair that fell on her face. He watched her eyelashes tremble slightly before slowly waking up, opened her eyes, looked at him approaching, and smiled reflexively. laugh.
When she spoke, there was still sleepiness in her voice: "It's here... I fell asleep."
Hiukawa: "Yes."
At this second, Zhou Chuan really wanted to ask Chu Li to resign as well. If he wanted to waste his youthful blood, it also depended on whether the cost was worth it—he also had an unknown fire burning in his heart, and he felt a sense of selfishness. The child I raised lived well, but was defiled by the dirty world outside and forced to grow up forcibly.
I used to think how could this editor be so stupid, and whether he could do a good job.
Now instead, I hope she is a little stupid, after all, the slower she grows, the less setbacks she will suffer.
"Chuli, you..."
"Why do you keep staring at me? Get out of the car, I'm hungry."
Chu Li didn't know what Hiukawa was thinking, he lowered his head and unbuttoned his seat belt, opened the door and jumped out of the car; Hirokawa also got out of the car on the other side, watching Chu Li go around the front of the car and rub his way towards him, and then in an imminent The shoulder-to-shoulder distance stopped again.
The two walked side by side to the side of the street, just when the signal light turned red, so they had to stand on the side of the street and wait while discussing what to eat for a while... Chu Li answered a little absent-mindedly, his eyes wandering, but in fact his mind was full of men hanging on him hand on the side of the body—
... want to hold on.
... I don't know if it would be bad to do so
... After all, it seems that there is no confirmed relationship. Although he said that this is a date, but can we hold hands on a date? What if we are thrown away
...but they have already kissed, so why not let them hold hands.
… Although this is on the main road.
... Ah ah, what's wrong on the main road, you fucking see that the little girl next door is almost hanging on to her boyfriend, envy.
Chu Li's eyes brightened and then dimmed, and she struggled for a long time, and finally she couldn't finish her struggle when the green signal light came on, so she could only watch helplessly as Zhou Chuan walked towards the road with long legs. Silly "ah", then hurriedly followed the man's pace...
—Death before leaving the teacher.
This made Chu Li feel very depressed: he had already made up his mind that there must be a breakthrough tonight.
The little episode when crossing the road made Chu Li feel a little sluggish, plus Hiukawa seemed to be hesitant to talk and absent-minded for some reason, Chu Li even felt that he seemed to be still unhappy about something. When I looked at her, the corners of her eyes were cold and could drop icicles.
The atmosphere is blue and thin.
The two found a restaurant with grilled fish and sat down to eat. After the food was served, they started to talk a little while eating. The reason was that Hiukawa suddenly asked if she was busy with work next. Chu Li was a little confused, so he had to tell him , busy must be busy, because next "Moonlight" will face the revision that started to be prepared years ago—
"I'm worrying about this matter. How can the revision be a blockbuster? The sales of the first issue must be sold with some gimmicks before there is an explanation."
Chuli poked the rice in the bowl with his chopsticks.
"There are book fairs all over the country on May Day." Hiukawa reminded, "Didn't the book fair last time have a good effect?"
"... invite the coser to come again, and then I have a big fight with the marketing department?"
"You can ask the author to sign the book." Hiukawa picked up a piece of fish, felt the burning eyes beside him, he paused, and calmly put the piece of fish into her bowl, "I don't have any books to sign, Can you please stop staring at me like a piece of fat?"
""Luohe Divine Book" still has less than 10,000 stocks in stock. Wouldn't it be nice for us to quickly sign, sell and reprint..."
"... Isn't "The Lost Amusement Park" just about to start in May?"
Hikawa chose to sell his teammates.
Chu Li put down the bowl, reached out and touched the phone on the table—
Hiukawa tapped her bowl with chopsticks, and warned: "Call me when you get home, and you want to call Jiang Yucheng after eating with me. Who do you want to piss off?"
Chu Li took his hands away from the phone with a look of reluctance, picked up the bowl, and found that it was already filled with all kinds of pickled fish and vegetables. He lowered his head and stuffed them into his stomach one by one. After eating, wait for her He wanted to find a place to lean against the wall to calm down, so he stood up contentedly and went to pay the bill.
There are many high-end hairdressing and styling shops in the same building. Chuli, wearing a down jacket hugging her like a little hat, followed Hiukawa into a relatively low-key one, looking at those Jimmy, Jack, Andy, Vincent saw his brother's face, and she guessed that Hiukawa was a regular customer here.
After Hiukawa put forward the simple request of "cut it short and cover your eyes", two stylists circled around Hiukawa, saying "Your hair is split" and "Didn't you follow the instructions I put on?" Take good care of yourself as I said last time", and finally said "There is no shape, you just ruined your handsome face~~~", Chu Li shuddered, and looked at Hiukawa in the glasses: It's hard for him to return Can hold the icy cold appearance.
Holding the phone, he found a place beside him and sat down. Chu Li looked at the WeChat that he had missed in the past, and found that the matter of Lao Miao's resignation had already been posted in the WeChat group—
A group of people seem to be serious.
It's just that apart from Liang Surf, there is no one to keep him. Although the coser column he carries is quite popular, everyone knows that this resource was found by Liang Surf, and anyone else would do the same.
Chu Li quietly watched a wave of Lao Miao's failure to act but was acted instead, and a spark of fire that Lao Miao might really be able to get out was actually ignited in his heart.
Hiukawa waited for forty minutes, and when Chuli raised his head from the phone again, the place was almost cleaned up. After looking at it, he found that half of the man's hair was combed up and fixed with hairspray, and the other part of hair was hanging down in front of his eyes. , the smooth forehead is exposed, the high bridge of the nose and sword eyebrows are miraculously made more three-dimensional and deeper than usual because of the hairstyle...
This "clothed beast" hairstyle also makes him look more mature, stable, and earth-shatteringly handsome.
Chu Li put down the phone in shock, and suddenly began to agree that the fact that Comrade Jimmy wailed "no shape~~~" at the beginning was simply stating the truth.
In contrast, Hiukawa's usual appearance has never taken care of himself at all!
Faced with me every day with a chicken coop, I never thought of respecting me, right? ! !
It's a pity that I put on makeup every day before I go downstairs to make you breakfast! ! ! ! !
Raised by a bastard! ! ! ! ! !
Chu Li stood up, trotted to the man's side, raised his head and glanced at him, thinking that this face could sell 100,000 copies for book signings, and even Mr. Herman would be far behind.
When Hiukawa reported the membership card number in a deep voice and was about to pay the bill, the Jimmy from just now walked to the cash register, looked at Hiukawa with a smile and said, "Little sister, I really envy you for having such a handsome brother."
Chu Li glanced at him. If eyes could kill, she would have chased him down eight streets.
However, the reality is that I can only vomit blood silently in my heart, gritted my silver teeth, and muttered in my heart like a big villain: Wait, I will fucking stand at the door of your shop next time I come to give You staged a wave of powerful German orthopedic French kisses that shattered your three views...
Before he could finish muttering, the hand hanging by his side was suddenly held by a big hand, and the man easily held her hand in his palm, and lightly said, "Sister, what sister, do you look alike?" .”
Then he led Chu Li, who was in a daze, and swaggered out of the shop.
Chu Li followed behind the man, his eyes glued to the hand held by him—
This is the main road.
on the main road.
On the main road ah ah ah ah ah!
They are holding hands.
Like thousands of lovers all over the world.
holding hands.
… He, proactively.
