..." Tang Yanzhi said indifferently, "Friend, friend, it's for critical moments... Hey, do you have any taboos? I'll give you some hot and sour noodles. "

"You can order a bowl," Xu Chi said, smelling the strong smell in the air, "I don't like spicy food."

"If you don't like spicy food, what should I order?" Tang Yanzhi protested, "Let's go, change to the one you want."

"It's okay, you can order if you want to eat, I can watch you eat."

"I'll take you out to play tonight," Tang Yanzhi turned his head and approached Xu Chi, grinning close to his face, "Take you, come out, play, the point is you, you! You! You! Do you understand?!"

Xu Chi was confused by Tang Yanzhi, he raised his hand and pushed Tang Yanzhi's enlarged handsome face in front of him, and said helplessly: "Understood! I understand! I understand! I understand!"

In the end, the two ordered a bowl of red bean paste each, and sat down at the empty tables on both sides of the road.

"Did you eat before you came?"

"I ate..." The red beans were cooked sweet and soft, Xu Chi squinted his eyes in satisfaction, "I cooked a bowl of noodles..."

Tang Yanzhi teased, "Can you still cook noodles?"

"The noodles I cook are delicious," Xu Chi said seriously, "Don't look down on me."

"Yeah..." Tang Yanzhi echoed, "Can you tell me how to cook it? I can learn it when I go back."

"It's very simple, first..." Xu Chi organized his words, "Wash the ingredients you want to eat, and then cut them into cubes..."

"Why cut it into cubes?" Tang Yanzhi asked, "Can't I cut it into pieces?"

"Of course... But I like to cut it into cubes, which can add a sense of ritual..."

"Sense of ritual? What is it?"

"The sense of ritual of cooking," Xu Chi continued, "then put the oil, cook the ingredients you want to eat first, pour water after cooking, and finally put the noodles in and cook."

Tang Yanzhi suppressed a smile and said, "So this is a pot of stew?"

"How could this be..." Xu Chi finally realized something was wrong when he heard Tang Yanzhi's words, and he became annoyed and said, "Why are you deliberately arguing with me!"

Tang Yanzhi's laughter could not be held back in the end, Xu Chi saw Tang Yanzhi's face almost laughing into the bowl, and he laughed too.

"We're so bored..."

"Then let's talk about something not boring." Tang Yanzhi smiled, and asked while eating red bean paste, "Tell me about your unhappiness?"

Xu Chi raised his head, and couples or friends with barbecue, milk tea, and takoyaki passed in front of him one by one. He stared at the scene in front of him and said in a daze, "Didn't you already know that?"

"What do I know?"

Xu Chi turned his head, looked at Tang Yanzhi and said, "You know I'm also writing."

"Huh?" Xu Chi's shocking words made Tang Yanzhi's heart skip a beat, "What if I don't know?"

"It's okay if you don't know..." Xu Chi stirred the red bean paste, "Now that I've told you, you'll know."

Tang Yanzhi didn't deny it either, "Well, I did know, I didn't expect you to look dumb, but you are quite smart in some respects."

"Please..." Xu Chi said harshly, "I'm just dull, I'm not stupid."

Tang Yanzhi followed Xu Chi's words, "When did you think I knew?"

"When you sent me home yesterday... I asked a question like this, and you are so smart, I think I can guess it after a little thought, right?"

"So what's your unhappiness?"

"Since you are so smart, don't you know if you guess again?"

"Okay..." Tang Yanzhi began to analyze seriously, "The author's troubles are nothing more than two kinds, the work and the reader, so your troubles come from the work? Why? Carvin?"

Xu Chi looked at him with a sullen expression.

"Well, it's not..." Tang Yanzhi understood, "That's the reader's problem, what's wrong? Someone scolded you?"

Xu Chi put down the spoon, and there was a crisp sound when the metal collided with the bowl. He sighed a long time and said, "Actually, I don't want to say it. If I say too much, it will feel hypocritical. Glass heart, it's boring. You're in the car." I also understand the truth of what I told me, but I just can’t ignore it, can you understand? These are all subconscious behaviors, just like knee jerk reflexes, maybe my brain has not reacted to the aggrieved emotions before It's spreading and I can't control it."

Tang Yanzhi asked knowingly, "What type of essay are you writing?"

"Contrary to you, abusive text."

"Is it red?"

"It's not popular, it just gained some readers recently."

Tang Yan said in an affirmative tone, "So there are more readers and some negative comments at the same time. These comments make our classmate Xu Chi unhappy."

Xu Chi stared at Tang Yanzhi in silence, neither saying yes nor no.

"Then let's do this..." Tang Yanzhi pondered for a while and said, "Let's stroke it."

"Stroke what?"

"Tell me about writing. When you first started writing, you were alone. You wrote and wrote, but found that no one read your article. You didn't receive a single comment every day when you opened the website. You were sad and sad. , At this time, your idea is to have a reader who can read your article, and leave a comment to prove that he has read it."

"Then what?"

"Later slowly, more and more people read your works, they leave messages, give rewards, and remind you to update, you are very happy, very happy, but at the same time there are some negative comments, and you are at the same time The negative comments are distressing."

"Um... ... "

"But think about it at this time. Compared with your original idea, hasn't your goal been achieved? You only want one reader to read your article, but later you harvested hundreds or thousands of readers. Readers, some even became your fans, do you think you made money?"

"You..." Xu Chi was shocked by Tang Yanzhi's remarks, "Aren't you lying?"

"Why am I being unreasonable?" Tang Yanzhi asked back, "Think about it for yourself, which sentence I said is unreasonable?"

Tang Yanzhi continued: "People are greedy. If you stand tall, you want more. If you want more, you want to make yourself more perfect. So at this time, someone will say something bad about you. The psychological gap will become very big, and you will become very sad and sad, but at this time, if you think about your original purpose more, you may feel better in your heart."

"Can we do this?" Tang Yanzhi paused, "Those comments...you think so, scolding one is not bad, and boasting one is bloody."

"You don't lose by scolding, but you earn by praising your blood?" Xu Chi read out slowly.

"Just talk about those negative comments, whether you read the entire article or just the beginning, even if he only read one word, but he left a comment, didn't you achieve your original goal? You only want one Readers, don’t you own it? Are you not losing money? Besides those positive comments, while you have readers, they also affirm your works, are you earning money?”

"You are really..." Xu Chi smiled wryly, "You are really preposterous..."

"It doesn't matter whether it's irrational or not..." Tang Yanzhi slowly laughed, "I ask you, do you feel better if you think so?"

The red bean paste in the bowl had become warm, Xu Chi rubbed his hair, and said a little annoyed: "Why are you so good... I found out that I'm going to be brainwashed by you, I even think I'm going to be brainwashed by you!" Convinced...”

"Everything has two sides. I just like to look at things from another angle. Even the commercialization of the circle we mentioned before, you have to say that only commercialization can make this circle survive for a longer time..." Tang Yanzhi Suddenly changed the subject, "You should have some regular fans, right?"

Xu Chi thought for a while and said, "I don't know if there are any fan groups. I only know that there are two fans who seem to like me a lot."

"What kind of fan?"

"Two little girls..." Xu Chi described, "One is very emotional, the other is very rational, but they are both very interesting people. I feel very lucky to know both of them."

Tang Yanzhi hesitated to speak, "I..."

"Tang Yanzhi..." Xu Chi looked at him, as if he had suddenly figured it out, he let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "I think you're right..."

The corner of his mouth slowly raised, "What do you mean? I haven't been making money all the time?"

Tang Yanzhi nodded, "Every day is blood."

The two looked at each other and finally both laughed.

"Tang Yanzhi, I think we...are destined to each other? Many things happen by coincidence."

"yes... "

After all, no matter how predictable the world is, it can't be worth the "coincidence" you said to me.

Tingting: Did the male god go out to play at night? ! What's this! !

Xu Chifa's photo was of an empty cup of fried yogurt, and he replied to Tingting: I went out to eat with my friends, and this is fried yogurt.
