Chapter 174 The Calm Before Breakup

After helping the man with his personal hygiene in the afternoon, Lin Yiyi prepared to take a nap.

But the curtains don't block out the light at all, and it feels like it's bright even when I'm lying in bed with my eyes closed.

I can't sleep at all.

Covering my face with the quilt made it difficult to breathe and it was also stuffy and hot.

Zhao Sheng sat aside, watching the lazy guy tossing and turning in the quilt, with a smile in his eyes.

"Don't move around, you're disturbing me while I'm reading."

The man didn't turn a page of the book for a long time. His eyes were elsewhere, but he spoke in a very serious manner.

Hearing the man talking about her, Lin Yiyi snorted to express her displeasure.

She kicked the quilt away, stood up, picked up the account book, and lay back on the bed. Feeling the glare of the light, she poked the man's waist twice with a pen, "Come closer."

Zhao Sheng's eyes were full of confusion, and he moved over without any hesitation. Why did she suddenly want to get close to him?

"Okay, just stay like that."

After adjusting the man's angle and posture so that he no longer felt the glare of the light, Lin Yiyi began to write.

With just a few strokes, he finished a passionate lyrical poem.

Zhao Sheng waited for a while but Lin Yiyi didn't make any move.

Later he realized that he was being used as a tool to block her light, so he lightly clicked his tongue and hit her butt with the book, earning a coquettish glare from the woman.

He is not being used for nothing, he has to be charged interest.

After writing the poem, I read it twice in my mind and thought it was pretty good, so I had the idea of ​​submitting it for profit.

Lin Yiyi closed the notebook, sat up, and moved closer to the man. She smiled and asked softly, "Comrade Zhao Sheng, who is so powerful, may I ask if you know anything about submission? Can you tell me about it?"

It would be nice to have a side job and earn some pocket money in my spare time.

Or draw some comic strips.

Zhao Sheng's eyebrows moved slightly, and he read a few more lines before putting the book down. He stood up and stopped blocking the sunlight for the woman, and said in a cold tone, "Comrade Zhao Sheng doesn't know."

They were about to separate, so it was normal to call each other by their names. Why was Zhao Sheng so unhappy?

Besides, other couples call each other this way.

You can't say, hello, hey, who is that?

Lin Yiyi felt that he was being too serious and awkward, so she had to change her words, "Comrade Zhao Sheng doesn't know, so I'll ask Comrade Xiao Sheng."

The man glared at her and said unhappily, "Comrade Xiao Sheng doesn't know either."

"Then how do you want me to call you? Tell me."

Seeing that she was pretending to be ignorant, Zhao Sheng leaned against the chest of drawers and glanced at her sideways, "Call me the same as before, just keep it the same."

Didn't everyone call him brother? He was a few years older than her.

“…”

Lin Yiyi stopped talking nonsense and thought about it carefully. In the past, in order to please men, she often flattered and called him baby, brother, and brother Sheng. Could she call him that now?

"Forget it, I'll ask someone else in a couple of days."

Lin Yiyi didn't follow the routine and didn't ask directly. Zhao Sheng's face suddenly turned black and he said reluctantly: "The submission address is on the newspaper, just write it and put a stamp on it.

But what do you want to submit? It's a complete waste of paper, stamps and time."

Listening to the man's words, Lin Yiyi shook her head in disagreement, "How is it a waste? If it is selected for publication, won't it be earned back?"

It turned out that she wanted to make money through writing. Zhao Sheng was a little surprised. Lin Yiyi used to live in the city and went to high school.

She should be aware of this.

"When you were in high school, did you go out often? Didn't you borrow books and newspapers from your classmates? From 1966 to now, there has been a zero-fee, zero-remuneration system."

Zhao Sheng's eyes scanned the woman's face, not missing any change in her expression or movement.

Even if Lin Yiyi had not had a good life at her relatives' home before, anyone who has attended junior high or high school knows that this is common sense.

Lin Yiyi felt the man's sharp gaze, and after hearing his words, she realized that she had just made a stupid mistake and asked the wrong question.

66 years, that was the beginning of the transformation and change, and a decade of internal friction during which most of the country stopped.

The original book and real history are consistent, how could she forget about this?

The original owner would definitely not ask about the royalties, but she didn't know.

And there is this liar Wang Rulan. The original book wrote that she had some royalties, but that was pure bragging and deception!

To fool the country folks who are illiterate.

Fearing that she would be exposed, Lin Yiyi acted like a money-grubber and asked the man righteously, "Why do those people keep submitting articles if there is no payment? I saw several pen names repeated in the newspaper.

He must have said no publicly, but gave it secretly. It is impossible that he paid out of his own pocket, otherwise it doesn’t make sense.”

It seems that Lin Yiyi is only concerned about money. This is all her own nonsense.

Zhao Sheng relaxed a little, his eyes were gentle, and his tone was doting: "Anyway, there is really no payment for the article. If you don't believe it, you can submit your article and try."

Just spend some stamps to have fun, as long as she's happy.

In order to make things go smoothly and prevent the man from noticing anything unusual.

Lin Yiyi pretended to take out her account book, turned to the poem she wrote and showed it to Zhao Sheng, pretending to be embarrassed and shy: "Can you help me see how it works? Will it be selected?"

Zhao Sheng took it and couldn't help wanting to laugh when he saw the beginning. He glanced at the little woman beside him and forced himself to finish reading it. The man frowned in disgust at the end and said in a vulgar tone, "What kind of nonsense is this that you wrote? It's all made up."

She obviously wrote it very seriously, but this guy's words are so rude.

Lin Yiyi put her hands on her hips, raised her chin, and said tenderly, "Write it for me, I want to see how good it is! I'll give you some comments."

Wow, this little guy still doesn't accept it.

Zhao Sheng casually took the pen and was about to show his skills, but he suddenly stopped and moved the pen to his left hand.

He had neglected to write the IOU this morning, luckily Lin Yiyi didn't react at that time.

After careful consideration, I decided that neither hand would be appropriate.

Lin Yiyi looked at the man's neat and powerful handwriting, his strokes were swift and graceful, and his beautiful words jumped out of the paper. She sighed in her heart, it is said that the handwriting reflects the character of the person, but there is still some error in this saying.

Her handwriting is round and not beautiful.

When the man finished writing, Lin Yiyi's eyes fell on his hands, and she was surprised. She shouted in a tender voice: "You can actually write with your left hand! And write so well, then why can't you use chopsticks with your left hand?"

She is really slow in reaction. Is it because she has been eating too poorly and lacks nutrition recently and has become stupid?

Such an obvious thing is only discovered now.

The man had written an IOU in the morning, but she didn't notice it because she was focused on counting the money.

When she discovered and exposed him, Zhao Sheng remained calm and did not avoid her gaze. He explained the truth seriously, "You can hold a pen with your left hand, but you cannot control two chopsticks at the same time."

In fact, he can use chopsticks with both hands.

Lin Yiyi felt that the man was fooling her and treating her like a fool.

But she couldn't prove it herself, so she could only be half-believing and half-doubting. Seeing that the poems written in the man's essays were indeed better than hers, she decisively admitted defeat.

It's not about competing to see who's better.

She just wanted to fill in the gap in what she said before.

Time passed quickly. The two of them played around for the entire afternoon, had dinner early in the evening, and went to bed to rest.

After Lin Yiyi fell asleep, the man leaned over and hugged her to sleep, cherishing every minute with her.

After tomorrow.

I don’t know how long I’ll have to wait before I can be with her like this again.

The man gently pressed his lips against the woman's cheek several times. Afraid of waking her up, he did not take any other action. He just hugged the woman and fell asleep with her.

Early the next morning.

After Lin Yiyi woke up, she got up sleepily, rubbed her eyes, walked out, and saw the man standing in front of the table.

The whole person was stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Yes, it's stunning.

He really...
