The Novelist Forced to Become Famous

Chapter 49: The flowers have faded

Views:

Before Zhao Xuan's question was answered, Cheng Jiayou had already put down what he was doing and came over with a concerned look on his face to ask, "Jian Jing, Liu Kai said you fell down? Are you okay? Do you want to go to the infirmary?"

"Nothing." She combed her hair again, and in response to the vague inquiries, she said with a smile, "I met a fugitive, but luckily I wasn't hurt."

"Fugitive?!" The others were shocked. "There's a fugitive here?"

Jian Jing hurriedly said: "The police have arrested everyone, including the criminals who robbed the bank vault. The gold has also been found."

Several other girls praised her with satisfaction: "Great job, Jian Jing, you are really amazing."

"It's too reckless." The boys all expressed their disapproval, "He might have a gun, you should deal with him, it's too reckless to just attack him directly."

Zuo Xin: "Are you instructing her on her work? Can you do it if it's your turn?"

"What's wrong with that? I can knock you down with just one move." The other party insisted.

The two sides started a war of words.

Cheng Jiayou did not join the argument. He sat next to Jian Jing and said worriedly, "It's too dangerous. You, a girl, are going to deal with criminals..." He shook his head, very disapproving, "Fortunately nothing happened."

Regardless of gender, people will always feel a little dissatisfied with those who like them.

Jian Jing also said gently, "I know."

Cheng Jiayou smiled again and said sincerely, "Don't do this next time."

Jian Jing was stunned for a moment, then stared at him and slowly shook her head.

“No,” she said. “Maybe I’ll do it again next time.”

Cheng Jiayou was surprised and confused: "Why? It's so dangerous, you might get hurt."

"Yes, I know." She raised her head and looked towards the distant purple sunset. "But, maybe."

With a 10% success rate and a 90% mortality rate, I definitely won’t go.

Even with a 20% success rate and an 80% mortality rate, I wouldn't go.

What about a 50% success rate and a 50% mortality rate

What about 60% and 40%

She couldn't pat her chest and say she always stood up to the challenge.

But if you can, why not

Cheng Jiayou suddenly fell silent.

The hiking activity was very successful. After the barbecue dinner, everyone took group photos beside the barbecue and uploaded them to their social media and campus. Of course, I was the only one who did the skin resurfacing and face retouching, and at most I would bring my bestie with me. No two photos were the same when they were posted.

Jian Jing was lazy and stole Zuo Xin's picture to post on her own circle of friends. After she was done, she didn't pay much attention to it. She took a nap in Cheng Jiayou's car and woke up when she was almost home.

"Thank you for today." She and Cheng Jiayou thanked her, "Please pick me up and drop me off."

Cheng Jiayou opened his mouth, with two words in his mouth, not knowing which one to say - should he ask her if she is free to watch a movie tomorrow? He had such an impulse in his heart, but his reason told him that he should not waste any more time.

Of course he likes quiet girls. He always likes quiet girls, who are well-behaved and sensible, don't make noise or quarrel, and it doesn't matter if they are a little spoiled.

Jian Jing was just like her name, quiet and peaceful, not as noisy as other girls. She was also a writer and pretty, which was very consistent with his aesthetic taste. Therefore, he took the initiative to pursue girls, which was rare.

However, after getting in touch with her, he realized that she seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

Cheng Jiayou has been popular with girls since he was a child and claims to understand girls a little.

For example, Zhao Xuan, she didn't say anything, but he knew she liked him. The same was true for others, the girls who pretended to be ignorant to ask questions, the girls who casually called him brothers, he knew it all, but he just didn't say it.

Jane Jing is different.

He couldn't see through her, couldn't grasp her pulse, just like at this moment, their eyes met, but he had no idea how much she liked him.

Cheng Jiayou didn't like this feeling, it made him feel very insecure.

Therefore, the word on the tip of the tongue hesitates for three seconds and changes its appearance.

He said: "You don't have to be so polite between classmates."

The word "learning" is very interesting, it can be used for both offense and defense. It can be mentioned casually, but it also seems to have a metaphor. If she is interested, she might take the initiative after hearing this word. If she is not interested, he can speak first to define the boundaries of "learning", so as not to face the embarrassment of rejection.

Don’t think that boys are not scheming. Men who are like bootlickers all have their own little thoughts.

Unfortunately, Jian Jing did not get his temptation and only understood the meaning of the two words "‌learn".

Although she couldn't help wondering why it ended so suddenly, she more or less understood the crux of the matter and nodded happily: "Okay, see you later."

"… Goodbye." Cheng Jiayou said goodbye reluctantly and fled to the car, his cheeks slightly hot and feeling extremely embarrassed.

The night is dark.

Jian Jing walked into the elevator, leaning against the button, thinking: This peach blossom came and went quickly, she didn't seem to know why he liked her, but she was very clear about giving up - she was not the girl he imagined.

Come to think of it, the girl that most boys like wouldn't be the type to rush out alone to fight the fugitive.

But she likes herself this way.

It doesn’t matter whether Cheng Jiayou likes it or not.

Ding Dong—when the elevator arrived, Jian Jing had completely gotten rid of her slight melancholy and couldn't wait to go into the bathroom to take a hot bath.

After taking a shower, I saw two missed calls on my phone, from Kang Mucheng.

She called: "Looking for me?"

Kang Mucheng's opening remarks were very casual: "Did you go out to play today?"

"School activities." She chatted relaxedly.

"Are you having fun?" Kang Mucheng was also very casual.

Jian Jing smiled: "Happy."

She could secretly enjoy the achievement of catching Zhou Bing for three years, but she couldn't tell Kang Mucheng about it. If he got scolded, she would be asking for trouble.

Kang Mucheng misunderstood the reason and hesitated for a moment, then asked in a calm tone, "That's good. By the way, who is the boy next to you? I don't think I've seen him before."

Jian Jing: "...Ah!" She understood Kang Mucheng's intention.

"Boyfriend?" Kang Mucheng asked in a teasing tone.

Jian Jing looked at the clock: "An hour ago, it was the boy who pursued me."

Kang Mucheng frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It means that an hour ago, he felt that it was not very good and gave up on it." Jian Jing was open-minded and said as a joke, "People felt that it was not very good."

"Who?" Kang Mucheng's tone suddenly rose eight degrees, "Dump you?"

Jian Jing said, "You can't say I dumped him. I didn't agree to him. During the mutual evaluation process, we both felt that he wasn't suitable." To those close to her, she spoke more honestly, "To be honest, there's nothing good about him except his face, and even his face can't compare to others."

Her contact with Cheng Jiayou was not so much because she was interested in him as a person as she was interested in the act of "love".

But the result was not what we expected: in fantasy love is involuntary, there is attraction between each other, but in reality it requires calm assessment and judgment, whether the personalities are compatible, and whether there is tacit understanding when chatting.

It’s not a blind date, but it’s not far away either.

"Anyway, it's not what I thought it would be." Jian Jing said, "It's not interesting."

It's not as fun as catching fugitives.

Kang Mucheng was silent.

"Mr. Kang?"

"Tomorrow afternoon, my mother will have a tea party." Kang Mucheng recalled, "Her friend's child is going abroad. I'll take you there to sit for a while and meet more people."

He knows the children of his mother's friends very well. Some of them are studying abroad, some of them are starting their own businesses, and at the very least, those who love to play are professional players who are proficient in eating, drinking and having fun.

Jian Jing should spend more time with them. Even if they don't hit it off, she can still make a few more friends.

"I don't want to go." Jian Jing refused. "The weekend is only two days. I have fun today and I have to write an article tomorrow."

Kang Mucheng: "Combining work and rest."

Jian Jing: "I need to work."

Kang Mucheng was afraid that she was shocked and felt disgusted, so he did not force her: "It was my mistake. I should have introduced a few more friends to you."

Jian Jing held her forehead with her hand, as if she had returned to the days when her parents forced her to go on a blind date.

She skillfully responded with a few perfunctory remarks and was the first to hang up the phone.

But this is not the end.

There are new unread messages on your phone.

Jiang Baiyan: [Teacher Jingjing, I have just finished filming the second episode and will be at home these two days. When can you treat me to coffee?]

Jiang Baiyan: [No, no, I'll buy coffee for Teacher Jingjing. She must help me with the tutorial.]

Jiang Baiyan: [This is too difficult. My intelligence drops when I see the password. Can the teacher give me a make-up lesson?]

Jiang Baiyan: [Cat kneeling on the ground.jpg]

Jiang Baiyan: [Cat begging.jpg]

Jian Jing was amused by him and said without thinking: [ok]

She waited for more than ten minutes before replying, but Jiang Baiyan immediately replied: [Thank you, Teacher Jingjing. I will arrange a time with you after I have arranged my schedule next week.]

Jian Jing knows that artists have busy schedules and has no objection: [OK]

Jiang Baiyan: [Cat makes a heart.jpg]

After finishing the business, the chat continued: [Teacher Jingjing, did you go hiking today? Was it fun? There is a similar variety show that wants to invite you to be a pilot. Are you tired?]

Jian Jing: [A little bit, we have a decryption mission]

Jiang Baiyan: [Then Teacher Jingjing must be the first one ‌(^u^)ノ~]

Jian Jing was worried that no one could share her joy with her, but when the topic came to this point, she naturally shared today's adventure with him.

Jiang Baiyan sent emojis crazily.

[Cat surprised.jpg]

[Cat is confused.jpg]

[Cat kneeling.jpg]

At the end of the post, Jian Jing suddenly realized something was wrong: [Your emoticon looks familiar]

Jiang Baiyan: [Cat meets cucumber.jpg]

Jian Jing: [‌I have a die-hard fan who also likes to post this emoticon pack]

Jiang Baiyan: [Teacher Jingjing, the assistant told me to go to bed. Good night, teacher. See you next week!]

Jian Jing: […]

He went offline, but the new messages never stopped.

Ji Feng sent a message, unfortunately, it was bad news: [Sorry, your money is gone]

Jian Jing immediately became alert: [why? ! ! ]

The amount of money is not important; what is important is the commemorative significance.

Ji Feng: [Zhou Bing is not a wanted criminal, we only released Li Li’s]

Jian Jing: […]

Ji Feng: [‌I’ll treat you to a meal, a big one]

Jian Jing: [Hehe]

Ji Feng also felt a little guilty, as he had failed to figure out the real culprit in the past. Today, he was not only hunting down the fugitive, but also gold worth millions of dollars.

He tried hard: [There is 30,000 yuan for Li Li's information. I will try to get it for you. Do you want a certificate? I have asked. It can add credits.]

Jian Jing: [Heh]

doesn't work.

Ji Feng thought about it, opened his phone, took a photo and sent it to her: [This is Lao Gao, he is currently in ICU, he has a wife with whom he has a very good relationship, and a pair of twin daughters who just started elementary school this year]

She really asked: [Is he okay?]

Ji Feng: [One breath left]

Jian Jing: [Please try to get 30,000 yuan and wrap it in a red envelope for him]

Ji Feng couldn't help but smile a little. He leaned his head back on the stainless steel chair, and his sleepiness was like a chainsaw, torturing his nerves.

But he couldn't sleep, at least not until Lao Gao's wife came.

He held up his eyelids and chatted with Jian Jing: [Teacher Jian, I have decided to become your fan. Remember to give me an autograph next time.]

Jian Jing: [You are so fake]

Monsoon: [More Than Gold]

This is not all flattery. Those who are braver than her are not necessarily smarter than her, and those who are smarter than her are not necessarily prettier than her. He does not mean to flatter her.

Ji Feng: [But, I am a little worried]

Jian Jing: [? ]

Ji Feng: [People become stupid once they fall in love, you have to be careful]

Jian Jing: “…” She felt that everything about love was going wrong today.

Not only has the peach blossoms blown away, but others don't seem to be optimistic either.

Maybe this is what everyone expects, I'm destined to be a single dog.

But she absolutely couldn't admit it, she asked back: [Is this the reason why you are single?]

Ji Feng said confidently: [That’s right]

Jian Jing: “…”

The two chatted about the case for a few more sentences, and the system's settlement finally came.

[Mission Name: Find the Gold Robber (Completed)]

[Task Reward: 20 basic courage points + 10 special contribution points (capture one fugitive alone)]

[Note: Courage can be used to draw cards (normal), each time costs 5 points; Contribution can be used to draw cards (special), each time costs 10 points]]

Without having time to take a closer look, she fell asleep drowsily.

Two o'clock in the morning.

A haggard-looking woman hurriedly ran out of the ward. Her eyes turned red before she could say anything: "Ji Feng, my family's Lao Gao he...he..." She covered her mouth with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, Lao Gao is out of danger." Ji Feng cheered up and comforted her, "It's not a big problem, don't worry."

The woman's expression relaxed. Although there was worry between her brows, there was a hint of despair: "What happened to him?"

"I was stabbed and then electrocuted," Ji Feng explained. Lao Gao was quite skilled, and Qian Tong only cut his back with the knife. Later, he used electric shock shackles to knock him down.

He said: "I will stay here tonight, you can come tomorrow, the children still need someone to take care of them."

"My sister is at home taking care of them." The woman urged him to leave, "I'm here, go ahead. Thank you for taking care of our Lao Gao."

Ji Feng waved his hand: "What does this count as?"

"Go ahead, it's time for you to rest." said the woman.

Ji Feng didn't insist any longer. He gave a few instructions and then left for home.

Before he even reached the door, he habitually stepped lightly, turned the door lock, and tiptoed into the house. He was afraid of disturbing his sleeping sister, so he didn't turn on the light and just stood at her door.

There were sounds of laughter and the turning of pages coming from inside.

Ji Feng was so angry that he knocked on the door frantically: "Ji Yunyun, what time is it? Are you staying up late reading novels again?"

The room suddenly became quiet.

"Go to bed!" He didn't have the energy to teach his sister a lesson, so he warned her and went back to the room.

He had no energy to wash or change clothes. The intense work for several days had consumed all his energy. The moment he touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.

In the dim light, a figure came in stealthily, spread out the quilt folded at the end of the bed, and shook it on him.

"You don't even know how to cover yourself with a blanket, and you still have the nerve to teach me a lesson?" The figure complained silently, but left without making any sound, using the same soft footsteps as his brother.

This is an ordinary yet extraordinary day in an ordinary police family.
