"Oh, is it with a very good friend? So that's the case..."
When Xiaoxi heard He Yunzhou's answer, she paused, and whispered embarrassingly on the other end of the phone.
"However, if you are with very good friends, you should not be in a hurry to go abroad at this time, and it will take so long..."
Xiaoxi then said again.
"Because my friend said that it's rare to go out once, so it's better to stay there for a longer time, and I don't have anything to do with it?"
He Yunzhou replied smoothly.
In fact, he also felt a little bit, ever since Huo Zheng agreed to go on a trip, he was as excited as a primary school student going on a spring outing. Reminiscent of Huo Zheng's heavy work during this period, and that mother who makes people wonder where to start, He Yunzhou can understand his desire to go out and relax.
So, when Huo Zheng decided on a vacation that was much longer than ordinary people going out for a trip, He Yunzhou followed his will and agreed.
The only thing that made He Yunzhou a little worried was probably the pumpkin, but Huo Zheng confidently showed He Yunzhou the pet care function of the CALO system he designed—it has to be said that after seeing such complete facilities, He Yunzhou has no worries up.
And after Huo Zheng saw He Yunzhou's admiration for the CALO system, he looked so proud that he wanted to raise his tail to the sky, which also made He Yunzhou feel more and more affectionate towards him.
"Well, but, but..."
Xiaoxi's embarrassing voice dragged He Yunzhou back from his memories to reality.
Even though he didn't meet Xiaoxi face to face at all, He Yunzhou could easily hear that Xiaoxi seemed to have something unspeakable to hide. After all, Xiaoxi is indeed a person who is not good at lying.
"Is there something inappropriate?"
He Yunzhou couldn't help asking.
Xiaoxi faltered and hawed on the phone for a long time, and finally spoke with some bitterness.
"Well, I'm actually hesitant to tell you about this matter, but, I recently got a very reliable news that you will still be the illustrator for the book of God Cat."
"God cat?"
He Yunzhou frowned, he never expected that Xiaoxi would talk about this.
He and the publishing house were in trouble like this, and the so-called beautiful illustrator Jing Wang Luohua was inserted in the middle, but now he is told that he is still the illustrator of the magic cat
"Aren't you too obsessed with the work of this book? I almost forgot about it. You still remember that I was so nervous when I went on a trip."
He couldn't help jokingly said.
When Xiaoxi heard He Yunzhou's light reply, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"Listen to me, this time I'm telling the truth. It was Li Fu himself who personally found the editor-in-chief of the publishing house and made a big fuss. You don't know, that shitty editor has resigned because of this matter. Leaving Fu Da said in front of the president of the publishing house that if you hadn't drawn the illustrations for this book, he would rather terminate the contract and find another publishing house to publish it... "
"This is too exaggerated. Termination of the contract is not such a simple matter. The publicity has been out for so long."
He Yunzhou laughed dumbfounded.
"Where did you hear the gossip again? It's too outrageous."
"I… "
Xiaoxi's words stuck in her throat.
That's not gossip at all! I'm right there!
Xiaoxi wanted to yell directly into the phone, but at the critical moment, her rationality managed to hold back and calm her down.
"Brother Chuan, it's true, and I can't say anything else, but there is one thing I can assure you - Li Fuda really likes your pictures very much! He will definitely give you an explanation!" Paused Suddenly, she lowered her voice and added cautiously, "You may miss this opportunity if you are traveling at this time."
He Yunzhou sighed, then chuckled.
"Actually, it's because I don't want to cooperate with the people there anymore. Actually, you know, my character is not suitable for this kind of high exposure job. I think it's better to take it easy and draw something I like. The manuscript is happier."
"Wait, don't you like god cats very much?!"
God knows why Xiaoxi suddenly became agitated. She suddenly raised her voice on the phone.
He Yunzhou couldn't help muttering: "After that incident, I think that liking a novel and drawing for that novel are two different things. Besides, it's not that I haven't drawn pictures for novels that I like very much before, and I don't think so. There is no shortage of experiences like this.”
"but… "
"And, to be honest, I don't want to miss this trip."
Unknowingly, He Yunzhou's voice became serious.
Because no matter what, I don't want to see that person disappointed.
He Yunzhou didn't say this.
I want to make that person happy, I want to see his bright eyes and happy face, I have never felt this kind of mood before.
Should it be affection or pampering
It seems a little different...
Anyway, He Yunzhou didn't hate himself being immersed in such emotions.
Because of this, although he didn't have much obsession with going to Hokkaido, just thinking of Huo Zheng being happy because of this, he couldn't help but look forward to this trip for two.
"That's the collector's edition of God Cat, think again? You think about the printing volume of this book, think about your manuscript fee..."
Xiaoxi still tried to persuade He Yunzhou to postpone the trip for a few days.
But at this moment, He Yunzhou turned around and found that the soup in the earthen pot on the stove had jumped out due to excessive boiling.
He Yunzhou didn't care about other things, he hurriedly talked to Xiaoxi, hung up the phone, and went to deal with the messy stove.
"Really..."
Looking at the overflowing soup on the stove, He Yunzhou muttered in distress.
"Today's cooking is Tiger Palm Mushroom..."
Half a native chicken and half a catty of pork bones, plus dried tiger palm mushrooms sent by friends from the place of origin.
For today's dinner, He Yunzhou specially cooked this chicken soup with mushrooms. Tiger Palm Mushroom is already famous for its strong aroma when it is fresh, but when it is dried, the aroma becomes richer and richer. Unfortunately, its yield is not high, and good quality is even rarer. He Yunzhou observed that Huo Zheng seemed to be busier at work than before, and Ku Xia had no appetite, so he took out the dried tiger's palm fungus at the bottom of the box to make soup.
Fortunately, although a lot of them came out, at least half of the pot was left in the pot. As soon as Huo Zheng pushed open the door of He Yunzhou's house at night, he couldn't help admiring "It smells so good".
"Go wash your hands, and then drink soup..."
Seeing Huo Zheng still wearing a suit, He Yunzhou followed the scent and slipped into the kitchen, poking around beside him with Pumpkin, and couldn't help sighing and exhorting.
Little did he know that this helpless look of his fell into Huo Zheng's eyes, making the latter's heart, which was filled with secret happiness because he secretly prepared to propose a marriage proposal, thump as if it was covered with syrup.
This is probably the feeling of family.
Huo Zheng couldn't help thinking.
Otherwise, why did He Yunzhou's next sentence "Why are you so stupid today" so pleasing to the ear
"Did you skip lunch again? Could it be hypoglycemia..."
He Yunzhou shifted his attention away from the cutting board and observed Huo Zheng carefully.
Huo Zheng: "No, I just think it's very happy to be able to have soup as soon as I get home."
Of course, what he really wanted to say was that when he returned home, he found that there was He Yunzhou, a cat, and delicious meals at home—it really made him feel extremely happy.
Huo Zheng's reply didn't make He Yunzhou feel at ease, he forcefully drove Huo Zheng out of the kitchen, let him cook at the dining table, and then put a bowl of soup in front of him.
"Drink, dinner will be ready soon."
He Yunzhou said.
Fortunately, he did not cook too complicated dishes tonight.
That bowl of mushroom chicken soup was already delicious and rich enough, so He Yunzhou just stewed a pot of rice with sausage, peas, and diced boiled salted duck eggs.
Then I pulled a handful of juicy green vegetables, chopped them, added seasonings and stir-fried them for a while, then poured the chopped green vegetables into the stewed sausage rice. Vegetable rice.
In addition to vegetable rice and mushroom soup, there is another side dish, which is an omelette fried with bitter gourd and sauerkraut. All the meals are served on the table, light and clear, and there is a summer atmosphere in an instant.
Huo Zheng didn't feel hungry at first, but as soon as the food came, he ate deliciously as usual.
"Om—"
However, the sudden beeping of the mobile phone interrupted the quiet and peaceful dinner time between the two.
He Yunzhou picked up the phone and looked at the screen. The number belonging to Xiaoxi on the caller ID stopped his finger that was about to press the answer button.
Almost subconsciously, He Yunzhou looked at Huo Zheng across the table.
That beautiful green-eyed man was seriously eating his ordinary and simple dinner with a bowl.
He Yunzhou's heart suddenly became very soft.
He pressed Xiaoxi's incoming call.
This behavior was actually a bit abnormal for He Yunzhou, and it immediately attracted Huo Zheng's attention.
"What's wrong?"
he asked.
"It's nothing." He Yunzhou broke the bowl again, and he replied calmly and casually, "It's just some trivial matters related to the god cat."
He Yunzhou spoke casually, but Huo Zheng's chopsticks suddenly stopped in mid-air.
God Cat... Illustration... Watching the Falling Blossoms...
He suddenly remembered that not long ago, he clearly agreed to let He Yunzhou handle those things by himself, but in the end he couldn't hold back his unhappiness, and directly bypassed He Yunzhou, and asked the public relations company to report to the publishing house and that shit on the Internet. The teacher made a move.
Huo Zheng actually didn't intend to tell He Yunzhou about this matter before.
But now, the two of them are about to get married—because of emotion and reason, Huo Zheng shouldn't hide this matter from He Yunzhou.
"Yeah, sorry—"
Huo Zheng said dryly.
Then, he looked at He Yunzhou with a blank face, and told everything he had done.
The author has something to say: He Xuedi probably doesn’t know that for many years, the pet accessories of the CALO smart home system have killed similar products in seconds. The reason why there is no other product comparable to it is because President Huo wants to put aside a certain Fat Light Bulb…
