This time, not to mention Qin Yun who was being closely stared at by Lu Chuan, even Qi Kuang who had been chattering non-stop just now was stunned.
They were all from the same batch of new authors, and by coincidence they gradually became close friends.
When Lu Chuan just made some achievements, he was plagiarized by an old master, and he even turned the tables at the annual writers' meeting.
While Lu Chuan was still thinking about how to get on the color palette and produce solid evidence, the two of them just started working by typing on the keyboard.
Besides, that mouth can make a person's coffin fly, not to mention Qin Yun - because he has always been fat, he was often laughed at by other children when he was a child, and he had many fights, so his fighting skills are particularly tricky...
All in all, that annual meeting was indeed very exciting.
As a result, the three of them became close friends.
Qin Yun is not a bad person, he is even very brotherly.
When Lu Chuan was hospitalized, he and He Kuang rushed over to see him overnight. He still remembers the way he cursed in the ward:
"You bastard! You dare to act like a hero before you even finish writing the book!"
It is precisely because of this that Lu Chuan is so angry now.
Both of them were stunned.
And in this dull interval, the heavy wooden table suddenly made a "click" sound. Looking closely, one could see a crack spreading rapidly, extending to 10 to 20 centimeters in an instant.
If such a kick hits my leg...
Qin Yun took a breath.
Moreover, he crossed his legs without leaving any trace, trying to smooth things over:
"Not really... Not really... Qin Yun said he didn't do anything, so he definitely didn't do anything. I can still believe that..."
"I thought you were more capable than the rest of us, so I asked you to persuade him..."
Lu Chuan looked at Qin Yun with deep eyes:
"Whether you didn't have time to do it or it was a misunderstanding, I know it, and you know it in your heart too."
"You said you didn't do anything to make Chen Li want a divorce. Let me ask you, after you had a child, how many times have you watched a movie with her alone? I looked at WeChat Moments, and the last time was during the Chinese New Year, right?"
What's more, he pursed his lips.
He just felt something was wrong when chatting with Qin Yun, and wanted to ask Lu Chuan to persuade him, and also to persuade Chen Li—
This is a bit pitiful. Chen Li is a loyal reader of Lu Chuan, and she particularly likes his style of having a single female lead or no female lead and no entangled emotional drama.
Unlike them, writing about them is inevitably a bit... cough cough cough.
But listening to what Lu Chuan said now, why... why doesn't it seem like he is trying to persuade reconciliation
And...and is it that serious
Qin Yun's forehead was gradually covered with sweat. The hot tea in front of him was faintly steaming in the air-conditioned room, so that his vision was blurred due to nervousness.
However, Lu Chuan's words were like a knife piercing his heart, revealing all his embarrassment.
"Eat, go shopping, and watch a movie... A movie lasts two hours, which is enough for you to write 10,000 words. According to your writing fee, the starting price for this 10,000 words is 2,000."
"Qin Yun, if you had no other thoughts, would you be willing to waste these two hours? As a friend, I can understand you to this extent. Do you think Chen Li doesn't understand?"
Qin Yun took a deep breath: "But I really wasn't like that at the beginning... Besides, she could have told me! Instead of getting a divorce without saying anything."
"I made a mistake, I can change it! I really didn't realize it, I just, I was just eating or something... She should tell me!"
"And she said she couldn't win an argument with me. When I got home, the divorce agreement was ready, just waiting for me to sign it. The child just started elementary school, and she just ignored me and let her emotions get the better of her..."
At this moment, He Kuang's face fell.
Lu Chuan fell silent.
In this almost suffocating silence, the subtle fragrance of tea became increasingly quiet, so much so that Lu Chuan took a sip of water and suddenly sighed.
"She wanted a divorce because she understood that although this was the beginning, she couldn't stop the mental infidelity and she really couldn't maintain the family."
"It's just like you said. The child has just started elementary school, but you're already impatient and don't care. If she doesn't divorce, is she going to wait for you to have a bunch of children outside and trample on her self-esteem?"
"Qin Yun, when two people have been together for a long time, losing love is not a terrible thing. What is terrible is losing a sense of responsibility and morality."
Qin Yun's face turned pale.
He wanted to say that he didn't have that intention, but since the beauty invited him, he had to give her face.
Or, how could he have so many children outside? His daughter is the cutest in the world, no one can compare to her.
The worst thing is that he really didn't cheat mentally, he really values his family...
But under Lu Chuan's gaze, all of these things could not be said a word.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, he became anxious instead - it's not easy to have a close friend these days! He really didn't want to break down because of this!
At this moment, I quickly persuaded him:
"You just can't get over it! Wasn't Chen Li young and pretty when she was dating you? She had to endure hardships with you, so she didn't have the time to dress up!"
"What are our levels? We are all just slogging our way through life! You're not good-looking, and you were broke as hell when you were writing your book for the first two years, but she was willing to be with you then... Do you think she can see through your future success?"
"Touch your chest. If you were to go back to the you of five years ago, you would meet a beautiful woman, have dinner, go shopping, and watch a movie. If you give her a bouquet of flowers, she might refuse to accept it because she thinks it's embarrassing!"
"Think about it again. When you are in your seventies and are hospitalized for emergency treatment, and the doctor says there is still a glimmer of hope, will it be Chen Li who will take care of you and keep the oxygen tube for you, or will it be the ones you marry later who will ask to remove the tube?"
"I'm telling you, cheating means you're not smart! You're courting death!"
Now that things have come to this, if Qin Yun doesn't say anything, he would be a fool.
His voice was hoarse, his eyes were red, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he touched his trouser pocket:
"I'm going to have a cigarette."
What's more, I felt relieved instantly.
Lu Chuan raised his hand and pointed at the terrace: "Go out and smoke."
Qin Yun: …
The moment he pushed open the terrace door, he instantly took a step back and closed it.
"It's 39 degrees today and you want me to go out on the terrace to bask in the sun?"
"Yeah." Lu Chuan said casually, "By the way, let me show you your waterlogged brain."
Qin Yun: …
Without saying a word, he pushed the door open and went out again.
As soon as the door was closed, he grimaced: "Oh my god, I'm so anxious, my forehead is sweating!"
"Damn it, if he really dares to divorce, these brothers will never get along well in the future. Chen Li is really amazing. When I was poor, she bought instant noodles for Qin Yun and didn't forget me. If I call someone else sister-in-law again, wouldn't I be an ungrateful person?"
"It was you who stunned him right away! You saw through his thoughts - we are all men, who doesn't love beautiful women? My wife loves them more than I do! But can the beautiful woman outside be my wife?"
"Lu Chuan, you are so hateful in your heart? You are using all your strength, right? Look at the legs of this table - you will have to ask Qin Yun to compensate you with a new table later."
