Fortunately, the next day was Sunday, so Chu Li didn't have to face the embarrassment of going to work despite back pain. She slept until noon and woke up in Chu Chuan's arms. She opened one eye -
The air conditioner was turned on in the room, and the curtains were opened a little, allowing sunlight to shine into the room through the gap;
A small human-shaped hill rose in front of us, blocking most of the light;
Outside the door, Er Gouzi's nose was breathing deeply under the crack of the door, making a loud noise that indicated "this dog is hungry and crazy";
Zhuchuan was still asleep. He pulled his arm out from under Chuli's neck. He turned over and uttered impatient words in his sleep. With his eyes closed, the man groped and patted the person beside him: "Go feed the dog. Let me sleep for a while."
"..." Chu Li got up and climbed onto the man who was sleeping on his side with his back to her. She looked at the dark circles under his eyes due to lack of sleep in recent days, which were almost transparent in the sunlight. She poked her head out and said, "...Teacher?"
The person with closed eyes did not respond.
The soft fingertips brushed the corners of the man's eyes like feathers.
"Teacher Zhuchuan..."
As she called out with a long tail, the man's big hand grabbed the disturbing fingertips at the corner of her eyes, then climbed up to her head, inserted it into her hair and roughly pushed her head down. The man raised his head with half-closed eyes and full of sleep, kissed the corner of her lips randomly, and let her go: "Go feed the dog."
Chu Li lay on top of him, curling up the corners of her lips——
A new day has arrived.
The sun, the dog, and her boyfriend, everything seemed beautiful.
…
He tiptoed down from the bed, walked to the door and opened it. He saw Er Gou squatting outside the door. He reached out and touched its head... At this moment, he seemed to remember something and uttered a low "ah". Then he turned around, walked to the bed, bent down with his old waist, and took out his mobile phone from under the bed.
The result of spending a whole day and night in bed was that my cell phone ran out of battery and turned off automatically.
Chu Li stuck out his tongue, put his phone in his pocket to charge it, gently closed the door for Zhu Chuan, went into the kitchen to open a can of food to feed the dog, and finally returned to his room to wash up and change clothes. When he walked out, he found that his phone had been charged and turned on automatically.
【Missed call (78) Liang Chonglang】
【Missed call (10) Yu Yao】
【Missed Calls (15) Little Bird】
There were also some sporadic calls from other people, countless unread WeChat messages, and twenty or thirty text messages urging her to call back as soon as she saw the text messages. It was as if the whole world was looking for her for something yesterday.
Chu Li was stunned.
Chu Li took a quick look and it seemed that when she and Chu Chuan were "making love" and "having fun", Chu Chuan's father, who was the vice chairman of the Provincial Writers Association, not only appeared on TV, but also did other things -
1: Teacher Zhuo Guxuan announced one thing, that is, after the "Zhu Chuan ghostwriting" incident, he had hired a group of experts to identify from a professional perspective that the book "Eastern Charming News Record" did not have any traces of modification or writing by Zhuo Guxuan himself——
Although one is good at different subjects and covers different fields, a person's writing style will not change. The "writing style" may sound a bit metaphysical, but if you compare similar sentences together, you will find that the two authors have different styles of describing the same thing, and the contrast is obvious.
Teacher Zhu Guxuan believes that this groundless slander is not only a slander against Zhu Chuan himself, but also an insult to him.
2: Collaborated with several seniors (most of whom were the ones who forwarded the online pre-sale of "Luohe Divine Book" by Zhao Chuan), they issued an evasive behavior towards Yuanyue Publishing House, which remained silent and pretended to be dead about this "slanderous ghostwriting incident" and wanted to put everything on the author's head at a critical moment. Boasting about the first print run is an unwritten potential rule in the current physical publishing industry, and this behavior itself is spontaneously operated by the "publisher". Although the author was wrong to know about it but did not report it, he should not bear the main responsibility in this matter.
3: Every industry has its own rules. I hope Yuanyue Publishing House can stand up and give everyone an explanation. Otherwise, we will launch subsequent boycott actions, and it may be difficult to cooperate with Yuanyue Publishing House on the first edition again.
The above three statements were issued one after another. Yuanyue Publishing House went from being dumbfounded at the beginning to being in a state of confusion: Yuanyue Publishing House is different from Xindun Publishing House. Yuanyue Publishing House is a book publishing company that started with traditional literature. If it is boycotted by the largest exporter of traditional literature, then Yuanyue Publishing House will be just one step away from announcing its bankruptcy tomorrow.
At this time, Yuanyueshe was in the final important evaluation stage before going public. After this incident, it was impossible to even think about going public.
So this incident was different from Liang Chonglang's initial thought that "it was just the daily ups and downs of an author's writing career". In general, it was a major event that could cause serious damage to Yuanyue Society.
The boss of Yuanyue Society put a lot of pressure on Liang Chonglang, asking him to deal with Zhechuan and the writers' association behind Zhechuan, otherwise he would have to get out: Liang Chonglang's actions, as can be seen from the problem with the last cover, he advocates the principle of "playing dead to the end", but this time, while pretending, he accidentally kicked the iron plate.
Yu Yao's last few WeChat messages to Chu Li yesterday said:
【Yu Yao: Why are your and Teacher Zhuchuan's phones turned off? 】
[Yu Yao: ...If there is no response, I will go to Teacher Zhechuan's home to visit him tomorrow at noon. The boss is driving us to death.]
Chu Li thought about it, his finger hovering over the phone screen for a long time, and finally replied with [1], indicating: I have received it, but I don’t know what to do about it.
...Chu Li really didn't know what to do.
Even if I calm down and think from the perspective of a working editor of Yuanyueshe, I will feel that her whispering in this matter is useless.
Things have been done.
If Zhao Chuan suddenly told his father to "forget it" and let the matter go, how would teacher Zhao Guxuan save his face, and how would the teachers from the Writers Association who stood up to make trouble save their face?
Moreover, at this point, it is impossible for Chu Chuan to just say “forget it”: he has smoked, drunk, and suffered so much over the past few days…
Chu Li: "..."
Chu Li put down her phone.
After preparing breakfast and placing it on the dining table, she carefully pushed open the door of Chu Chuan's room. The man was still sleeping on the bed in the same position as when she left. He moved when he heard the door open, but he didn't turn around...
Chu Li climbed onto the bed with both hands and feet, rubbing against the man's side, and whispered in his ear without caring whether he was awake or not: "Teacher, Teacher Zhou Guxuan invited an expert to verify that "Eastern Charming Records" was not written by him; Teacher Zhou Guxuan led all the teachers in the Writers Association to overthrow the Yuanyue Society, and the Yuanyue Society is facing the danger of bankruptcy tomorrow; Liang Chonglang wants to hang himself; various troll groups on the Internet came to your Weibo and forwarded messages: We are sorry, please forgive us, we are willing to make compensation for our actions and show a bunch of purchase order records of "Luohe Divine Book" and "Eastern Charming Records"... The above is the summary of today's morning news."
Zhaochuan's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"What's happened is over," the man said hoarsely, "but forgiveness or anything like that, I'm sorry to say, I can't do it."
Chu Li: "..."
really.
"At first, he attacked wantonly, as if he had finally found a place to properly vent his negative energy... After realizing that he had done something wrong, he casually said 'I'm so sorry' and walked away - he was mixed in with thousands of apologies, who would pay attention to him, and did this 'I'm sorry' have any impact on him? It's nothing more than humming a song while eating breakfast and typing a few words with his fingers," the man said lazily, "Forget about this kind of apology, isn't it better to keep it for your own personality?"
Zhuo Chuan: "You can take my phone, go to my Weibo, and tell those who said 'I'm so sorry, please forgive me' one by one: I won't forgive you, please die immediately."
Chu Li: "..."
Zhuo Chuan: "The voice of the heart, if you do something wrong, you want to be forgiven, but if you are not forgiven, you get angry and embarrassed. I want to see how ugly these people's faces can be."
Such a petty mind.
It is very popular.
How many public figures, after being bullied, grit their teeth and swallow their anger, smilingly saying "it's okay", only to be labeled as "generous" in return... But Zhu Chuan has always disdained such things.
But Chu Li certainly wouldn't use his account to go and spit at these people - even though Chu Chuan himself might have forgotten it, he was still the "gentle and jade-like Prince Chuan" in the minds of thousands of young female fans. Many of these young female fans stood by Chu Chuan from the beginning and spoke for him. Now the truth is out...
Why should we hurt them and make their worldviews so shattered that they doubt life?
Chu Li felt that she was enough as the only victim of this kind of thing.
"..." After unifying the "not easily forgiven" strategy, Chu Li nodded and pushed Zhao Chuan, "How about breakfast next time?"
"Next." Zhuochuan said, "Bring me the bed."
“……………………Huh? Did I hear you right, Zhu Chuan? Don’t push your luck! You even asked me to bring breakfast to you in bed! According to the normal routine of youth idol dramas, on such a special morning, shouldn’t you get up first, tiptoe to the kitchen to make breakfast, and then bring it to me without even bothering to eat it yourself, and wake me up from my sleep with a kiss, so that I can get up and eat breakfast and feed it to my mouth?” Chu Li reached out to pinch the man’s nose, “And you, you kicked me awake early in the morning, and the first thing you said was to ask me to feed the dog! Report the news that I missed yesterday! Now you ask me to bring you breakfast!”
"..." Zhu Chuan turned over, hugged Chu Li's waist with both hands, and buried his head in her arms, "I'm tired."
"…………??? Why are you tired? That's not what you said last night when I asked you to stop and get some sleep."
"In aerobic exercise, holding a plank for 30 seconds is considered a beat, which can burn hundreds of calories. You can calculate how long I held a plank above you last night..."
“………”
"And you just lie there."
"It's my fault after all."
"I'm just describing objective facts." Zhuochuan moved his nose, arched it up, and buried it deep in the deep groove of Chuli's chest like a dog, raised his eyes, "Did you take a shower?"
"Can I not wash it?"
“…”
The man's big hand, which was originally on her back, moved down.
Just at this moment, the doorbell rang and Er Gouzi jumped up and barked.
Chu Li slapped the man's hand away: "Yu Yao."
Zhuochuan: "Why is she here?"
Chu Li: "Save Yuanyue Society, which is on the verge of bankruptcy."
Zhuo Chuan rubbed his nose against the fair and delicate skin on her chest, and then said vaguely: "You came at the right time. It gives me another firm reason to 'never forgive me'."
Chu Li: "..."
