"Teacher, have you ever thought about publishing this novella that is serialized on Weibo?"
"It's fun to write, and the short solitaire short stories after "Luohe Divine Book" will save me from getting too angry—there won't be enough space for publication."
"If "Luohe Divine Book" sells well, even if your book is only 50,000 words, the editor-in-chief Xia will put a knife on our necks and order us to sign it back..." Chu Li took away the breakfast There was a large stack of plates, and the juice glass landed firmly on it. She paused for a moment and bent slightly to get in front of the man, "Give it to me, huh?"
The man raised his eyelids, and the two of them looked at each other for a few seconds at a nose-to-nose distance... The man raised his big hand, and pushed away the face in front of him that was full of starlight instead of eyes: "Thirty Articles of the Tenant Rules As it was said in ", it is forbidden..."
"'Eight, it is forbidden to use the convenience of the same roof to do bad behaviors that go beyond the relationship between "landlord and tenant". For example, reminders, asking for any signed items (*including but not limited to signed photos) as gifts to relatives and friends, do not Day and night, the brainwashing style requires the landlord to use an artist or cover design that he doesn’t like, or force the landlord to sign a publishing contract with the first printing price as low as a beggar.’ I know, I know.” Chu Li smiled with eight smiles on his face. Teeth, "You have proved with your strength that you can sell, who dares to give you a contract like a beggar this time..."
"..."
Dangerous eyes swept over.
Chu Li cleared his throat: "Of course it doesn't mean that it was like sending a beggar last time, so it's a commercial test."
The dangerous sight disappeared.
Hiukawa turned his face away, unwilling to look at the guy in front of him who was holding a breakfast plate and smiling at him as if he seemed very convincing, and said coldly: "No matter how extravagant you are, your behavior is a waste of the "Thirty Tenant Regulations" , seriously surpassing the pure, beautiful, healthy relationship between the landlord and the landlord, bad behavior—”
"Do you know what kind of behavior is to truly surpass the bad relationship between the landlord and the guest?" Chu Li suddenly suppressed his smile and said lightly.
Hiukawa paused and turned his head back: "What?"
First ceremony: "..."
Look at each other.
silence.
Chu Li's hand resting on the edge of the plate quietly tightened, as if the force was about to crush the plate in her hand, she took a deep breath... Her eyes swept across the man's pale lips, and then her eyes became deep, her heart beat, accelerate.
After a few seconds.
She raised her hand, holding the dish in one hand, and the soft fingertips of the other hand swept across the corner of the man's lips. When the man was stunned for a moment, she steadily recovered holding the plate in both hands, her tone was flat : "There are crumbs on the corner of the lips."
Hiukawa still looked at her blankly.
But at this time, Chu Li turned around and went into the kitchen with the dishes without looking back to wash them.
Hiukawa froze in place for a long time, then subconsciously raised his hand and touched his lips: just now, the soft touch like a feather was still on his lips, and the scent of body lotion on her wrist seemed to be still lingering on the tip of her nose, Citrusy.
Just now, for a moment, I almost thought that some major accident that would lead to a qualitative change was about to happen.
"… Oh shit."
Amidst the sound of washing dishes from the kitchen, the man frowned fiercely—adolescence, what an annoying thing.
…
Six pm.
There are two hours left before the official sale of "Luohe Divine Book".
Chuli ordered takeaway, and Hiukawa got up.
I watched the man shuttle between his room and the large public bathroom with various skin care products like flowers and butterflies. The door of the bathroom opened and closed, and the man who floated out of it shaved for the first time. The second time I applied facial cleanser, I was buzzing with the facial cleanser, and the third time I applied a SKII mask—
Don't ask why Chu Li knew it was SKII, the man raised the orchid finger with two fingers and threw the mask bag into the trash can in front of her.
Chu Li, who was squatting on the sofa with a magazine in his hand, raised his head: "It's just selling books, not the Oscars—we didn't seem to prepare a post-sale public development link for you, teacher..."
Hiukawa ignored her, and turned around directly to open an aromatherapy.
——Now bathing and incense are all included, including the meatless breakfast in the morning, it is bathing, incense, and fasting.
Chu Li didn't know what impact this book would have on the book and whether it would make the book sell a few more copies, but now, being completely infected by Hiukawa's tense emotions, she hoped that the answer would be yes, and she even herself Want to take a shower.
seven o'clock in the evening.
There was still an hour left before the official sale of "Luohe Divine Book".
The takeaway was delivered, except Er Gouzi, who only knew how to eat and sleep all day long, was optimistically biting his tail to eat, the author and his editor-in-charge, who were sitting on the sofa, took two symbolic bites and then put down their chopsticks, needless to say " I'm full", can see the same emotion in each other's eyes.
"Now that I think about it, this kind of pre-sale that can see the sales volume all the time seems a bit too exciting," Hiukawa barely maintained his calm, "For an elderly person like me, my Suxiao Jiuxin Pill may need to be prepared. a bit."
First ceremony: "..."
Chu Li didn't speak, but raised her hand holding the chopsticks to the man's eyes: he could easily see that her hand was shaking.
Hiukawa: "..."
Chu Li put down his chopsticks, ready to swipe Weibo to distract his attention, and accidentally clicked into Zhou Chuan's Weibo, even though she saw him updating Weibo every day, she still couldn't help reading it with relish Once... After seeing the man's Weibo during the battle with Empress Yu two days ago, she couldn't help but read it twice.
Then he tiptoed the man who was picking at a lunch box of cumin beef and eggplant with disinterest: "What did you mean when you yelled at the cocoon lady that day?" So far, I don't think I have been regarded as anyone I have treated people's personal belongings with care and treasure.'" Chu Li said, paused, and said softly, "'If there is, I am looking forward to it'."
Hiukawa was shaken by her kick, put down his chopsticks: "literally."
"What literally?"
"Rejoice for me and laugh for me."
Chu Li stepped on the man's big feet for a while, and then heard the man say indifferently: "However, the reality is that there is no such a person. How lonely it is to sit on the top of the country and rule the world, let alone sell books." Millions of copies, even if the copyright is sold to Hollywood, there is no one to share the joy... It's strange, I am such an excellent man, only you editors who are full of money are around—ah! How can you step on people! "
"I'm afraid tonight you will only be able to face the editor who smells like copper, and witness your pre-sale together!"
"Yeah, I can't eat enough food." Hiukawa put down his chopsticks and glanced at Chuli, "You still haven't taken your pig's trotters off my feet."
First ceremony: "..."
Seven thirty in the evening.
There was still half an hour left before the official sale of "Luohe Divine Book".
Chu Li on the other side of the sofa put down his phone, stretched his legs, and kicked Riu Chuan, who was occupying the other side of the sofa and was playing games with his head down: "Don't play games to waste time, hurry up and go to Weibo to pull the pre-sale Weibo... forward it Next, mobilize and mobilize readers' emotions."
Hiukawa didn't even raise his head: "Whatever you want to do, you will always buy what you should buy."
Chu Li: "Go!"
Hiukawa: "I don't."
Three minutes later, Chu Li swiped his finger and refreshed Weibo, and found a new post from Hiukawa—
[Hikawa: There is less than half an hour left, how are you all? I am also very nervous, I wish every reader who wants to sign can get it, although my signature is not very valuable [laughs] [laughs]]
There are hundreds of replies in the next instant, all of which are "gripping and waiting", "It's not worth it, you should sign more, we want to cry", "I'm super nervous, when I went to test just now, is WiFi faster or 4G faster"...
The next 20 minutes, I don’t know how it will be for Hiukawa, but for Chuli, it’s like a year, I just stare, watching the time go by, I can’t calm down to do anything, others Talking to her is also in a trance.
At last it was seven fifty-eight.
Chu Li and the man on the other side of the sofa both sat up—
The two looked at each other and picked up the phone.
Chu Li's fingers were trembling, and he entered the password to unlock the screen incorrectly several times: "I, I, I, I swiped the sales of store A."
"... I'll scan store B." Hiukawa slid his finger and clicked to unlock it, "The count will be reported in 30 seconds, and if it does not exceed 500, we will wait in silence."
Chu Li nodded solemnly.
Sweaty palms.
When the time came to 19:59, Chu Li's eyes widened, as if he could hear his heartbeat almost stopped, tinnitus, dizziness, all kinds of reactions caused by nervousness -
Sang's time jumped to 20:00, her eyes blurred, she swallowed her saliva with a gurgle, poked into the link of a certain treasure in store A, and took a look at the sales, the first second: 1798 sales per month.
Heart, hula, I mentioned it in my throat!
Chu Li's hands began to tremble violently, and he launched a link to a certain treasure, clicked on it again to refresh, and it took about three seconds to open from the page: monthly sales of 4,566 pens.
Chu Li put down the phone, took a deep breath, and glanced at the man opposite him who was scrolling through a certain treasure page as quietly as a chicken... The light of the phone was reflected on his face, she blinked, rubbed her own face, stood in front of the man from the first day, From the moment he rang the doorbell of his house, all the memory fragments flooded into his mind together—
In the 30th second, the finger unconsciously clicked on the link for the third time, watching the sales figures change to: 11,201 monthly sales.
At the same time, the mobile phone dinged with new messages—
[Congratulations!]
[Grasshold A's homepage was directly overwhelmed and pawned 23333333333333]
[Congratulations to Chuli! The online pre-sale was a big success!]
[The marketing department is going crazy. The store page of store A has been crushed within 30 seconds of the pre-sale, and repairs are in progress... Chu Li, from now on, you will be the woman who crushed Jack Ma!]
Chu Li raised his hand and bit the back of his hand.
She put down her phone and raised her head. At the same time, the man sitting across from the sofa also raised her head: "Sales in half a minute, 13,547."
"Sales in half a minute," Chu Li said in a hoarse voice, "Eleven thousand two hundred and one."
The words just fell.
She finally couldn't help choking out a sob, her eye sockets quickly turned red, and a bean-sized transparent liquid rolled out of her eye sockets, hot and joyful.
She grabbed the cushions on the sofa and buried her face deep in—
The next second, the cushion was pulled away, and she raised her head in a daze with tears in her eyes, and then fell into a strong embrace... The man easily picked her up from the sofa, she stood on the sofa, he stood on the ground.
She froze for a moment, then buried herself between the man's warm neck and cried loudly—
Ask the world.
What joy can be compared to getting rewarded after going through all kinds of hardships, being questioned, making things difficult, and being hindered by difficulties
No.
The joy and hot tears at this moment are priceless.
She raised her hand, carefully touched the man's ear with trembling fingertips, hesitated again and again, and said in a hoarse voice that was barely audible: "Hikawa, I..."
