As they were talking, there was silence inside again. The man, who was sitting on the attic stairs with his chin in his hand, looked down at his phone and found that he had been blocked again... Women really can turn against each other at any time. They blocked the man right after he had said what he wanted to say, without even giving him a chance to ask: Am I your boyfriend now?

...Maybe it counts.

...or maybe he was dumped.

Zhuochuan suddenly felt that the one-day online romance between Mr. L and Monkey, how they quickly got together and broke up, was simply a huge flag...as if it had laid an unshakable foundation for the ups and downs of his relationship a year later.

Zhao Chuan frowned the whole night. When it was almost midnight, the sound of a car engine was heard outside. Er Gouzi raised his head from the doghouse and took a dazed look. Then he found that it was Jiang Yucheng who came with beer and barbecue. He put the things on the table and stretched his head to look in the direction of the attic.

"It's time to go to bed." Zhuo Chuan took out a disc and said, "What are you looking at? You can't leave even if you keep looking at it."

Jiang Yucheng made no secret of his disappointment: "In my imagination, she should slap you and then go back to that Ah Xiang's house in anger... It doesn't seem right for you to lock someone up in your own home like this, does it?"

Hearing this, Zhuo Chuan glanced upstairs thoughtfully. The door was still tightly closed. He didn't know if he was really asleep or if he heard the noise downstairs and was still pretending to be a corpse. So the man withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "It doesn't matter. Just lock him up for now. No matter whether he is dead or alive, at least he can still be seen. It's better than knowing that he can't be seen even if he is alive."

"…………You are so perverted. If you were in ancient times, you would have been a tyrant." Jiang Yucheng said, "When I have a daughter in the future, I will tell her to stay away from men who are over 25 and have never been in a relationship. They are still single because they are perverted."

Zhu Chuan glanced at Jiang Yucheng sarcastically, picked up a can of beer, and opened it with a slurp: "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Yucheng's expression changed again when he heard that. He picked up a can of beer and clinked it with Zhuchuan with a smile: "I think you just spent all this time with Chu Li when you came back this afternoon. You probably haven't been on Weibo or anything like that, right?"

Zhuchuan glanced at him, then slowly picked up his phone and took a look—

Only then did I realize that there were already an overwhelming number of news releases online about Jiang Yucheng's book signing in the afternoon.

[Writer Jiang Yucheng's book signing was so crowded that tens of thousands of people gathered, and the book signing had to be postponed until lunch break]

[Breaking rumors, readers called him "a man who could have made a living with his looks, but chose to rely on his talent" and "the Chen Daoming of the author circle"]

[After several years of silence, Jiang Yucheng returns with his new work "The Lost Amusement Park". The hero is still as good as ever - the first print run is close to 1.5 million! He stands shoulder to shoulder with the popular new generation writer Zhu Chuan! ]

【“The Lost Amusement Park” is really, really good. I finished reading it in one afternoon. I felt like I missed out on many exquisite details. I will read it again for the second time” - Selected Reader Reviews. 】

【On the afternoon of the first release of the book "The Lost Amusement Park" at the book fair, pre-sale sales on all major e-commerce platforms reached the top, an unprecedented boom, never seen before! 】

…

There are countless press releases like the above.

Even under Chu Chuan's Weibo, there are a lot of people discussing Jiang Yucheng... Mainly discussing his looks, and then coming to the conclusion: Jiang Yucheng is so handsome, our Chu Chuan must be even more handsome than him.

The logic is touching.

But Zhaochuan thinks it can be considered a blessing in disguise, right?

Having said that, Jiang Yucheng's writing talent is still there these years, but because he has been silent, he has been unable to find a breakthrough to break this silence... Today's book signing has finally given him the opportunity to return to people's attention. God knows how long it has been since the various gossip and literary forums outside mentioned "Jiang Yucheng"... But today, his name was flooded with mentions again within a month (the first time was when the news of the book signing was announced).

——These were all brought to him by Chu Li. It was as if there was a new road ahead that Jiang Yucheng had to walk on by himself, and Chu Li had only paved the way for him to take the first step with a brick.

"So besides showing off to you tonight, I also want to thank Chu Li properly." Jiang Yucheng said.

"What a show-off! You've risked your entire old face, and the only thing you can achieve is 'shining like the sun and the moon with Chuan'. Is this all you want in life?" Chuan shook the half-empty can of wine in his hand, "Also, don't always try to find excuses to stick with her. She's your editor, and it's her duty to do this. If I had known this would happen, I should never have introduced her to you to write this book, 'The Vanishing Amusement Park'..."

Zhuchuan threw away the wine bottle and muttered to himself, but there was a hint of insincerity in his words...

Er Gouzi, with his ears drooping, climbed out of the doghouse with sleepy eyes, picked up the bottle and threw it into the trash can.

People with OCD have dogs that also have OCD.

He opened another can of beer, clinked his glasses, tilted his head back and gulped it down. The two grown men sitting side by side on the sofa had their own thoughts tonight... Zhu Chuan glanced at Jiang Yucheng who was drinking happily, as if he was drinking some sweet syrup. He raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "You are drinking so happily, why do I feel that this brand of beer is not tasty?"

"Why doesn't it taste good?"

Zhao Chuan looked at the can in his hand seriously and was silent for a moment: "It's a bit bitter."

"I see you are suffering."

“…”

…

The next morning, Zhuochuan and Jiang Yucheng drank a case of beer. They were not drunk but fell asleep in a daze. They each took an end of the sofa and slept soundly... Ergouzi was woken up early in the morning because he was hungry, and found the food bowl was empty. The big dog weighing over 100 pounds jumped onto the sofa and stepped on the two of them in turn but failed to wake anyone up. In the end, he was so angry that he went to knock on Chuli's door.

Chu Li yawned and got up from the bed - to be honest, he hadn't slept so soundly in almost a month. The bed was big and soft.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Er Gouzi with his tail drooping, his ears pressed against his head, looking at him with a wronged look on his face. Chu Li stretched his head to take a look while lying on the second floor stairs. Before he could see clearly what the two things lying on the sofa were, he smelled the lees of leftover wine...

It is already May, and the south has entered the spring rainy season. After the continuous rainy days, there are days with southerly winds. The whole house is stuffy and hot, like a sealed petri dish.

The smell of grilled oil and alcohol fermented in the culture dish overnight, successfully making Chu Li cover his nose with a look of disgust and retract his head.

After taking out a can of dog food from her room and feeding Er Gouzi, Chu Li took the time to wash up, and went downstairs in her slippers to look at the mess in the living room. The man sleeping on the sofa raised his hand to rub his belly, and the gurgling sound made her want to go back to her room and get a pillow to smother the two of them to death.

However, at this moment, the man who had been chewing his belly with his eyes closed opened his eyes.

At first, Zhuchuan only smelled the pleasant scent of shower gel swirling around his nose, and the sound of Ergouzi's diligent paws tapping on the wooden floor... He opened his eyes dazedly, and saw a slender figure with its back to him, holding a garbage bag and bending over to pick up the beer cans that were scattered all over the table...

She was still wearing the long nightgown with suspenders, the hem of which reached her ankles, and as she moved, small waves of water rose up... The man's eyes moved from her hips, which were slightly raised due to her bending, to her slender white arms, and then to her back——

Everything in front of me was blindingly white.

I have a pimple on my back near my neck, and I don’t know if it’s because someone made me angry.

When Chu Li swept the last can into the trash bag and turned slightly, the man behind her could see the small piece of loose fabric hanging down under the armpit of her nightgown. From his angle, he could just see a vague curve hidden in the shadow, extending from behind the small piece of white and delicate skin under the armpit, slightly raised...

“…”

she.

Not wearing...

No underwear.

The man's eyes darkened, and he suddenly felt that he was possessed... Even the jeans he was wearing became a little tight. He sat up, and pulled a coat from the sofa over Jiang Yucheng's face like a corpse. He stretched out his big hand and pulled the small arm that was dangling in front of him——

Soft to the touch.

Her hand felt like it was grabbed in a pool of water, so soft that he could pinch her bones with a light squeeze. Although it felt a little cold, the palm of his hand felt hot.

Chu Li turned around and was caught off guard by the man's eyes. The other man's eyes were clear and she didn't know how long he had been awake... Her gaze moved and fell on the big hand that was tightly holding her arm at this moment. She paused: she watched helplessly as the big hand just pulled her slightly at the beginning, and the fingers moved, and the slightly rough fingertips silently rubbed a small piece of tender flesh on the inside of her arm.

Caressed it.

Chu Li's ears turned red.

However, before she could say anything, the man had already let go of her. He retracted his hand as if he had been stabbed by something and coughed lightly.

"Put on a coat." The man's voice was a little hoarse because he had just woken up. "There are outsiders here."

Chu Li paused, looked at Zhuchuan seriously, then raised his head to look at Jiang Yucheng, who was sleeping unconscious with his face covered by his coat at the other end of the sofa, then pulled his arm out of his big hand... and looked him up and down with his dark eyes as if he was examining him, then turned around, went upstairs, put on a coat and came down.

When we came downstairs, the air conditioner in the living room was turned on, and the air was no longer so hot and smelly. Er Gouzi lay down where Zhu Chuan had been, wagging his tail in a relaxed manner.

Zhuchuan held an electric toothbrush and leaned against the bathroom door, watching her clean the table. Chuli raised her head while holding the trash can: "You just watch? Come and collect it yourself!"

Then he threw the trash can.

He turned around and went upstairs to his room.

Zhuchuan: “…”

When he was asleep, she was still gently swaying in front of him, but in just a short time, she turned her face away and ignored him.

When we met, he started grinning.

The man holding the electric toothbrush sighed and spit out a few toothpaste bubbles in frustration.
