Holding the candied haws in her mouth, Wei Zhi felt terrible. She stared blankly at the man who was standing not far away in her room, frowning in impatience and trying to push the bag on the table with one hand.
Seeing the jelly shells thrown in the bag, the man withdrew his hand immediately.
I thought to myself, looking at the clean and fair little girl, how could she be so sloppy? The garbage bag was placed on the table, and not far away was her snow suit jacket thrown on the table. Wasn't she afraid that the garbage bag would dirty her clothes?
Feeling upset, he picked up the garbage bag and threw it into the trash can under the table. He turned around and was about to give a scolding when he was caught off guard by the starry eyes of the little girl not far away.
Shan Chong: “…”
Shan Chong: “What for?”
The unpleasant words rolled back and forth in the depths of his throat but he had to swallow them back forcefully. He was forced to change the subject, and the man's voice still retained the power he had just accumulated, sounding a bit stiff.
The little girl's eyes rolled around in her sockets, and she pinched the candied haws in her hand. After thinking for a long time, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Did you hear Lao Yan and Nan Feng talking on the phone?"
At that time, there were still a lot of voice-overs in that phone call.
For example, she kept asking for hotpot pork, which tasted sweet and sour...
then--
then.
Wei Zhi's face began to turn red, and she wanted to wave the flag and shout, "Sisters, stop shipping couples online. Go fall in love, have a crush on someone, and ship your own couple!"
You don’t know until you support your own CP, it’s so fucking addictive!
Eight horses are galloping, running towards the river of past life love!
Nine dragons are pulling the coffin, and it is the golden coffin for a marriage tomb!
Thanks for the invitation. I'm in a hotel. I just had my period. What I have in my hand is a diamond ring, not some candied haws!
Her mind was full of thoughts. Holding the candied haws, she wondered if technology had reached the point where food could remain uncorrupted for ten thousand years. If so, she hoped that seventy years later, this candied haws would be buried with her urn. The epitaph would read:
The urn contains an elegant woman, and next to the urn is her immortal girlish heart.
She has thought a lot.
I am already considering which city and street civil affairs bureau to get the certificate in the future.
"What phone number?"
At this moment, Wei Zhi heard a man not far away asking, "I was in the U-shaped pool just now. Did Lao Yan just call Jiang Nanfeng?"
The calm and unnerving low voice instantly brought the person, who was already thinking about crying while hugging his father at the wedding, back to reality.
Wei Zhi moved her fingertips. She was not disappointed with the answer. She said "Oh" obediently and sat down on the bed. Her back was very straight. She only dared to sit a little bit on the edge of the bed. She tilted her head and asked the man: "Why did you suddenly think of buying this!"
"I saw them on the way back. They're rare here, so I bought some." Shan Chong thought for a moment and added expressionlessly, "I bought a bunch."
“You bought it for a lot of people?”
Wei Zhi said, picking up his phone and looking at his apprentice group - it was calm inside, and he was thinking, oh, there aren't that many people, and then he refreshed all his friends circle...
Well, today the guy selling candied haws met a rich dog owner.
Wei Zhi's circle of friends is full of candied haws——
[Huayan: "Picture" The world is ending, and the person who only gave out a random red envelope with a maximum of 8.8 yuan on New Year's Eve bought the candied haws! ]
【Yan Yan: “Picture” “Picture” “Picture” I don’t know what I did right, and I even want to ask myself what I did wrong. The main reason is that I was so panicked when I suddenly received a gift?】
【Lao Yan: Picture: The master who got out of the car and bought a bunch of Tanghulu while driving?】
【Backstab: Hiccup.】
Weizhi: “…”
As she pulled it down, her eyes were almost covered with all kinds of candied haws.
Wei Zhi: “I bought quite a lot.”
"Well," Shan Chong glanced at her, "everyone has it."
Weizhi: “…”
Okay, okay, don’t fucking emphasize that after a moment of excitement, I can calm down and regain my rationality.JPG.
She felt the man's eyes on her face, and the subtle feeling of floating in the air made her feel uncomfortable... She rubbed her chin with her index finger, pinched the candied haws, and changed the subject: "You mentioned Altay just now? Why do you suddenly want to go to Altay? Have you decided to go to the competition to fight the whole world?"
Shan Chong was silent for two seconds, obviously not expecting her to ask so many questions one after another——
After asking about Tanghulu, I asked about Altay.
This question is a bit difficult to answer, and it is also difficult to fool around. After all, he seldom does such impulsive things. Should he give a reason?
He was just not very happy about the kid from Wantongtang who was persistent in trying to take his apprentice away. What's wrong with him? He couldn't be chased away...
Over in Altay, there should be fewer people in Wantong Hall.
perhaps.
But he couldn't say that.
After thinking about it, he accidentally remembered what Backstab had said before, about the equipment in the ski park being in disrepair. So the man paused and said, "It may be because the halfpipe here is in disrepair and not convenient for training."
When Wei Zhi heard this, he realized that this guy was really competing with U-shaped pool, and muttered: "You don't have to know everything."
Shan Chong raised his eyebrows and looked at her, obviously feeling that this matter had something to do with her.
Wei Zhi lowered his head in anguish under his gaze.
Holding the bag of candied haws in my hand, I could feel the candy shells crackling under my fingertips through the paper bag, and a sweet aroma filled my face.
There was a brief silence in the room for a moment.
"I'm leaving," Shan Chong said, his hands in his pockets. "If you feel uncomfortable, take a good rest."
"oh."
When the man passed by her, she stood up and walked all the way to the door in her slippers...
But when he passed the entrance, he stopped again.
The man casually glanced at the box of cake that Weizhi had placed on the entrance counter. His long eyelashes twitched, and he perfectly suppressed all emotions in his eyes: "You have dessert?"
He spoke slowly.
"Ah?" Wei Zhi instinctively followed the man's gaze and when she saw the cake box that Lu Xin brought, she said, "No, Lu Xin brought it this morning..."
She paused and added, "I forgot to eat."
After she finished speaking, Shan Chong stopped talking. He didn't say whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with her answer... He just kept one hand in his shirt pocket and the other hand hung down, swaying at his side.
The tip of his tongue lightly touched his teeth, and the man took three seconds to think about how to deal with this matter.
But he was obviously not good at thinking about this kind of thing - he couldn't even figure out why he had to "deal with" this matter subconsciously - just like he suddenly had to go to Altay to "deal with" Wantong Hall...
He never paid any attention to these things before.
Now it seems like all I can see are these things.
Tsk.
It's very annoying.
"Then you want to eat cake?" The man turned slightly to the side, looked at the little girl following behind him, and said in a not-so-clever way, "You can't eat too much sweet food in a day, just give me the candied haws."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw her reach out and cover the candied haws with her hand.
Through the brown paper, the fruit wrapped in a thin layer of rock sugar made an unbearable explosion sound.
Wei Zhi didn't care about that. Her pair of dark almond-shaped eyes looked at him warily: "You're taking it back after I've already given it to you? And I've already crushed it. Do you hear me——"
She grabbed the brown paper and shook it vigorously like a primary school student shaking a piece of Raccoon Crispy Noodles: "Who are you going to give this defective product to when you take it back?"
"I."
“…”
After three seconds of consideration, the little girl grabbed the cake box and stuffed it into his arms, "Eat this."
She saw the man looking at the cake box in his arms. He didn't resist, but just lazily glanced at her. "It's not good, is it?" He said in a completely insincere tone, "It was given to you by someone else."
"Unless he poisoned it," Wei Zhi said, "what's wrong with that? I'm in the mood for something sweet and sour. Bring us some candied haws, and we'll trade."
She continued to mutter to herself as she followed him, watching him carry the box of cake, open the door, and return to the corridor.
She yawned and was about to close the door, when a hand suddenly stretched out from outside the door, stopping her from closing the door.
"?"
So what?
"Yawning all the time? One last question. What time did you go to bed last night?"
Standing in the corridor, everyone who was about to leave suddenly asked such a strange question.
Wei Zhi didn't quite understand why he asked this. She just wanted to tell a man that if you can't bear to leave, just stay for lunch. At worst, you can call Jiang Nanfeng and ask her to bring an extra dish.
Of course, if you say this, you will definitely be scolded.
So even though she felt that the man was acting abnormal today, she still said honestly, "Two points, maybe."
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt his gaze coming at me from the crack of the door, a little cold: "Are you busy calling someone again?"
"No," the little girl said with her eyes slightly widened, serious and innocent, "No."
"Who did you call?" he asked. "SF Express? ZTO Express? YTO Express? Yunda Express? The neighbor's brother?"
"...No," she said. "Nothing at all."
"It was just after twelve o'clock when you called me."
"You have to wash up and take off your makeup after hanging up the phone - why do you remember such a weird time?"
The man outside the door was silent for two seconds. After a while, he took back his hand that was originally on the door and suddenly said inexplicably: "It's nothing. Okay, forget it this time. Remember, don't promise things you can't do. If you make a promise and then break it..."
He paused.
“I’d get angry.”
Standing in the doorway, the little girl raised her head and looked at his face, half of which was hidden in the dark shadows. She couldn't see his emotions clearly. He just looked confused and full of question marks. She couldn't figure out what he meant by what he said.
The air was filled with confusion.
This affected the person outside the door a little, and he relaxed his brows and said lightly, "Let's go." Just as he was about to turn around, the little girl grabbed his sleeve again.
He was stunned.
When he raised his head, he met her inquiring eyes that were full of desire to survive.
Then the man suddenly said, "That's the pose."
Weizhi: “Ah?”
Shan Chong: "What did you say when you pulled my sleeve last time you were drunk?"
He lowered his eyes and looked at her indifferently.
I watched her face change from confusion at first to the beginning of her ranged memories, and then that confusion was gradually replaced by a burst of red and green alternations. Finally, she let out another "ah" and then closed her mouth.
Of course, I was not calm inside. I felt the candied haws in my hand being crushed with a "crack".
【Are you unhappy? 】
【no.】
【Then I'll call you next time. 】
That day, she was much drunker than the day before. She couldn't even stand steadily, but she still knew to pull his sleeve and emphasized seriously, "I'm only calling you."
…
ah.
That’s what she said that day, like a drunk scumbag swearing randomly—
Swear to him.
Behind the door, Weizhi's face turned red from her neck to her ears, and she was about to spit out breath. She let go of his sleeve, took three steps back, and suddenly reacted, raised her foot and kicked the door shut!
Amid the earth-shaking noise, the expressionless man was locked outside the door.
Inside the door, the little girl's legs were so weak that she slid down the wall. Her mind was blank. Only the sweet aroma of fresh hawthorn mixed with rock sugar from the candied haws in her hands, which was squeezed into pieces, penetrated into her nose.
…
It was almost noon when Shan Chong left.
After a while, Jiang Nanfeng came back with a bowl of beef in her hand. She had visited three restaurants for this piece of meat and ended up with her shoulders covered in snow... When she opened the door of the room, she found that the corpse, which had barely breathed its last when she left in the morning, had been resurrected.
At this moment, Weizhi was wearing pajamas, with her hair tied up and legs crossed, sitting in front of the computer, diligently updating with a pressure-sensitive pen.
While painting, he was chewing a string of candied haws in his other hand.
To be precise, it was the corpse of a candied haws fruit. The candied haws fruit hanging on it had been carelessly pressed into hawthorn cakes. The red hawthorn slices were mixed with sugar residue, and when the little girl took a bite, there was a "crunch" sound, so crispy.
It seemed as if the room was filled with sweet fragrance.
"You went out? Where did you get this?" Jiang Nanfeng stared at her cheeks that were swollen from chewing. "Can you eat these things during your menstrual period? Aren't you afraid of bleeding? It's so cold outside, and you're still not staying still even though you have a stomachache? Are you going to die just for the sake of stuttering?"
"If I don't have anything to eat, I'll have a bloody hemorrhage," Wei Zhi groaned, still working on his drawing board without looking up, "He bought it."
"who?"
"Shan Chong."
Jiang Nanfeng paused in taking off her shoes and looked at Wei Zhi blankly, her face clearly saying "What's the matter? You two were together without informing me?" Wei Zhi glanced at her, her face calm and unperturbed: "Didn't you check WeChat?"
"I'm like the most diligent donkey in the village, looking for hot pot pork for you all over the world. I don't have time to look at my phone. I've found three stores, and every time I go to another store, I want to scold you more."
Jiang Nanfeng took out his mobile phone and refreshed it at Wei Zhi's reminder to "check the Moments". Then he also witnessed the same treatment as Tanghulu's screen was flooded with messages.
"Did you buy the candied haws for worshipping the gods?" She pointed at the screen. "Oh, I didn't buy it just for you. I bought it for everyone. Oh, there are so many people. I suspect that if the boss hadn't done enough, he might have wanted to invite everyone in Silk Road Ski Resort to have a candied haws party."
...What a loss!
Wei Zhi didn't even turn around and said, "Thank you."
Jiang Nanfeng: "Thank you for what?"
Wei Zhi: "Thank you for your crazy emphasis on me being just an insignificant freeloader among the masses, so that I won't get dizzy, lose myself, be sentimental, and lose face——"
"Come on, I haven't yet."
"Oh, it's the candied haws stall owner's fault for not doing enough."
"...at least the pot-baked pork is yours. I brought it specially for you." Jiang Nanfeng put the takeaway tape in front of Wei Zhi, "Draw it after you finish eating. What's wrong with you? You were so slow a few days ago when you had nothing to do. Now that you are on your period, your face is pale in the morning, but you are already erect and rushing to update at noon. What kind of new miserable character are you forcing yourself to create——"
"no."
Spitting out a hawthorn seed, Wei Zhi said expressionlessly, "I just suddenly had an inspiration."
…
That night, "Eighteen Ways of Cultivating in Another World" was updated, and many pages were updated at once.
Continuing from the last time, after the heroine failed to flirt with the second male lead under the table and angrily scolded him for being incompetent, fans have easily discovered that the recent plots seem to revolve around the heroine's strategy to conquer the second male lead...
After all the attempts failed, it was discovered that the male lead had an extremely charming body, but his soul and eyes were like a piece of wood, and he could not be moved or scolded.
In this update, Mrs. Otaku drew a very innocent plot, which is about the heroine's self-esteem being hurt after several failed attempts at flirting with the second male lead, and she finally gave up in anger and ignored him.
It happened to be a trip, and the heroine hid in the carriage, silent.
The carriage passed through the busy streets, but she didn't even look at it... Her mind was full of the second male lead who was riding a horse behind the carriage. She was just wondering if the sun would burn him to death, when someone reported -
The dog guard disappeared.
oh.
The dog guard appeared again.
This time the guard's absence from duty was not in vain. The heroine was about to lose her temper when the curtain of the carriage was lifted. The man on the horse bent over and his shadow covered her. He handed in a bag of osmanthus cake to the listless heroine.
……and.
In order to cover up his abnormal behavior, he bought a lot of osmanthus cakes and gave them to everyone, even the horses pulling the carriage were given a piece.
The guard was very persistent. He insisted on watching the heroine accept the osmanthus cake and eat a piece with a sullen face. Then his eyes flashed, but he remained silent and said nothing. He lowered the curtain and whistled to signal the team to move on.
Today, the update of Mrs. Otaku ends here.
Leaving the fan circle littered with corpses——
Fan 1: WTF WTF WTF So the root is a double arrow ahhhhhhhh dog guard what are you doing!!!
Fan 2: Mom, I want to eat osmanthus cake!
Fan 3: Wuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Buy some osmanthus cake, it’s so sweet. I’m dead. Why do I have to look for plot sweetness in 18X comics and look for sex in pure romance comics? It’s so disgusting! Is this the nature of human beings?
Fan 4: Aaaaaaaah the guard is so cute! I can do it!
Fan 5: What's wrong with this plot! So sweet! Is the otaku in love?
Fan 6: What are you waiting for! Haven’t you realized that you also like the heroine? Go ahead and give me your monthly tickets and rewards! Come on, kid!!!
…
The following omits thousands of comments from fans who “followed the rhythm very well but accidentally fell into the trap of the innocent plot of Otaku’s Wife.”
In room 1103.
The whole room is divided into two.
The left side was half clean, all the things were where they should be, there was a suitcase open at the head of the bed, the clothes in the suitcase were neatly stacked -
Clean and dirty items each accounted for half, and toiletries were placed in a separate bag next to it.
Two pairs of snowshoes were next to the box. They had just been wiped and were spotless.
The right side was in a mess, with half of the things collected because the owner suddenly stopped. The suitcase next to the bed was thrown randomly and opened wide, with clothes scattered here and there.
The snowshoes were scattered all over the ground, with Nitro's left foot and Burton's right foot being the closest to each other.
Backstab was lying on the bed in the middle of a pile of clean and dirty clothes, with one hand supporting his chin and the other hand swiping the screen of his mobile phone. What he was watching carefully was the update of the otaku wife today——
"Oh, this guard...if he wasn't so good-looking, he would probably be a die-hard and lonely man."
While complaining, he frantically liked the comments below that questioned "Ahhh, what are the dog guards doing?"
Just when my hand was cramping, the bathroom door opened and steam rolled out of the bathroom. The man walked out like a god from heaven with a fairy aura...
Shan Chong's hair was wet after he just finished taking a shower. With a towel on his head, the hot steam on his eyelashes turned into water when it cooled, making him look wet.
He is less aggressive and domineering than usual, and more down-to-earth.
The man wiped the water dripping from his hair with the towel hanging around his neck. He walked to the messy bed, raised his foot, and stepped firmly on the buttocks of his apprentice who was lying on the bed.
The backstab let out an "ow".
The man didn't move his feet: "It's your turn to wash, hurry up."
"Don't worry, I'll finish reading this update..." Backstab said, and suddenly seemed to remember something, pointing at his phone and said, "Master, I suddenly discovered something very scary. You said there is no parallel world in this world, right? Have you ever thought that maybe in a certain dimension you might be the male supporting role of an 18X AV?"
Shan Chong paused while wiping his hair, turned his head and glanced at him with a cold look, paused for a moment, and asked, "Are you sick?"
His tone was quite serious - at least, he was as serious as he said the four words "parallel world" in the backstab.
Backstab was not angry at all, pointing at his phone: "Don't disbelieve me, didn't I tell you before that I saw a comic strip with a supporting actor who looked exactly like you? I remember showing it to you, and you didn't even refute it... Hey, this comic strip is here again today - the supporting actor who looks exactly like you did the same thing as you!"
"What is it?"
"He who covers his ears to steal the bell."
“…”
“…”
"?"
Under the man's questioning gaze, Backstab patiently described to him in words how the poor, humble little guard cleverly used osmanthus cake to humbly and secretly please the heroine in the update of Azai Tai Tai today. For her bite of osmanthus cake, he didn't even let go of the horse——
"Is it like what you did today?" Beisai pulled out his phone and showed Shan Chong a close-up of a horse eating osmanthus cake, saying, "It's exactly the same! When Hua Yan received the candied haws you bought today, her expression was not just a little similar to that of the horse, but it was exactly the same - I was just saying that when I was reading the comics just now, I thought this horse looked so familiar - let me take a screenshot and send it to her for her to appreciate!"
While he couldn't stop talking like a backstabber and was trying to get beaten, he was too immersed in the joy brought by the chaos of the second and third dimensions...
So much so that he didn't notice that the man fell silent.
Based on the premise that "Master, you look a lot like a guard", the comic-to-text description of the backstab is inexplicable and full of ridiculous words such as "humble", "cautious", and "awkward".
Not a single word of rebuttal.
Even when he said "even the horses were not spared", the man raised his eyelids and laughed briefly and lazily.
Over there, Backstab had already sent "The Horse Eating Osmanthus Cake" to Huayan, starting with a "?" from Huayan. At this moment, WeChat was making "boo" sounds, and a new voice message was sent to his phone at a standard frequency of cursing. Backstab felt no pressure at all and was overjoyed.
"Maybe I like your little sister a little bit."
A deep male voice reached my ears.
The world stopped for about three seconds. Backstab still held the phone in his hand and turned his head stiffly and blankly.
The man threw away the towel, sat down, dragged over the medical box and began to bandage his right hand. His face was calm, as if the earth-shattering words just now had never come out of his mouth.
He seemed very calm——
You are the one who understands your own problems best.
He's been a little abnormal lately.
Although I don’t know when it started…
Maybe it started from the day he opened the car door and she looked at him and asked if he wanted a hug;
Maybe it started when she slammed the table and argued with others about how her master was the best in the world;
Maybe it started when she pulled his sleeve and promised him that she would bid before SF Express, ZTO Express, YTO Express, and Yunda Express;
Maybe it was earlier, she held the turtle he gave her like a baby, squatted in front of the protective gear she was wearing, shook her head decisively and started...
It's hard to explain.
Anyway, I just care.
At first, I raised her like an adopted daughter...
Later.
The route is a bit off track.
I want to take a few more glances if I have nothing to do. Even if I feel jealous after seeing her, I still want to pull her in front of me and take a look at her.
I get unhappy when I hear other people's names come out of her mouth, let alone the neighbor's brother, even if it's the courier.
Even when she took the initiative to suggest that her neighbor's brother might be able to buy prosthetic limbs at a discount, he refused the offer with such a bluntness that even he was surprised.
That's it. Is that enough?
He doesn't even like discounts of real money anymore——
Is that not enough?
All in all, Shan Chong accepted his abnormality calmly.
Only those who love to tease, spread rumors and make up stories will be caught off guard when they hear the victim say "You are right" in the back.
The young biker boy moved his lips helplessly, thought for a long time, and uttered fearfully, "Maybe not?"
Shan Chong glanced at him sideways with a cold look.
Backstab: "That... that situation is a little different. In the comics, it was the heroine who flirted with the supporting male lead first, and judging from the previous updates, maybe the supporting male lead has had a crush on the heroine for a long time? You are different. What happened between you and the little junior sister was nothing. At most, you pushed each other up the slope hand in hand. When you had classes, you left her behind without blinking an eye. And that candied haws, right? There is a stall selling it in front of the cable car at the top of the mountain. I pestered you to buy it for me last time, but you refused. What if today, for some reason, you feel guilty—"
He was so frightened that he gave a long speech—
As the saying goes, play is play, and jokes are jokes, and teasing can also add to the fun...
Just don't make such a shocking joke.
Shan Chong: "When I bought the candied haws, not even a hair of yours came to my mind."
Backstab: “…”
This is a bit hurtful.JPG.
Backstab: "This has to start from the human subconscious. Just because you didn't think of me at that time doesn't mean you really didn't think of me. Maybe my behavior of rolling around in Chongli Lai and asking you for candied haws has been deeply rooted in your mind--"
Shan Chong frowned, as if he didn't understand what he was still analyzing at length, and glanced at him impatiently: "If I didn't like her, why would I buy her some candied haws just after she mentioned her taste on the phone?"
Backstab: “…”
Okay.
Am I not analyzing it rationally and facing it calmly?
Are you impatient yet?
Backstab: "But you bought it for us too."
Shan Chong frowned: "What are you lifting?"
Backstab was shocked: "I lifted the bar?!"
Shan Chong: "I bought it for her. You guys just brought it along."
Backstab: “…”
Shan Chong: "Are you satisfied?"
Backstab: “…”
Backstab: "Satisfied... The question is, what can you do with me?"
Backstab: "Go and tell Junior Sister if you have the guts!"
Backstab: "Go!"
Shan Chong: “…”
Backstab: “…”
Look, you're silent again.
Don’t you dare?
Oh.
shudder.
