Although Chu Li was excited when she climbed onto the bed, she couldn't help but sleep well as a young person. She buried her head in the crook of Zhao Chuan's arm and started to cry within 30 seconds, humming like a comfortable pig.

Zhuchuan: “…”

The old man, Chu Chuan, felt humiliated.

After she talked to him for a few words, his sleepiness disappeared and he became a little more awake. He was very angry when he heard the person in his arms sleeping on demand. He turned over and lowered his eyes to look at her sleeping face - her fair face was puffed up in his arms, like a longevity peach bun just out of a steamer... He couldn't help but pinch it with two fingers. It was soft and a part of it sank when his fingertips poked it.

She was disturbed in her dream and groaned in protest.

Zhuchuan had enough fun, and expressionlessly let go of her face that he had been kneading and pinching. He hugged the person in his arms to his chest as if he were a pillow, and pressed her forehead against his shoulder. Then he lifted the quilt, turned off the lights, and prepared to go to bed.

Chu Li: “Huh?”

… Chu Li, who was half asleep and snoring, seemed to hear a "click" sound of turning off the table light. She closed her eyes and raised her head slightly. She called "Teacher" in a distracted manner, and heard the man say "um". The sound sounded very close to her, and she finally calmed down as if relieved.

She nudged the man's neck with her nose and put her hands up like lazybones. Her freshly washed hair exuded a faint orange scent. She was like a big orange, and she pushed herself into the man's arms.

——Some people always ask, just sleep well, can you sleep comfortably when you hug each other like this?

In fact, it must be comfortable to sleep like this as there is room for your head and room for your legs.

Those who ask this question are obviously single people who can only sleep with their pillows hugged at night.

the next day.

Chu Li slept in a daze for several hours. When she woke up, she found that the boyfriend she was hugging had turned into a pillow, and the quilt was covering her tightly, feeling a little hot.

Chu Li pulled the quilt aside and stuck her head out. She saw her boyfriend wearing hotel slippers and with a messy head of hair, walking slowly past the bedroom door. He walked around the coffee table and sat on the sofa in the guest room to drink coffee. There was a finished breakfast next to him, probably the room service he ordered after waking up.

When Chu Li got up, he was printing some documents.

"... The hotel provides breakfast, I paid for it," Chu Li got up and yawned, "Why order room service? Just walk up two steps. What do you want to eat?"

"You're cuter when you're asleep."

In the living room, the man sitting in front of the printer crossed his legs and answered without raising his head. He took a sip of black coffee and frowned slightly when the coffee went into his stomach - the coffee was a bit bitter. Actually, he didn't like coffee: but black coffee can reduce swelling, and this is all for the sake of handsomeness.

Chu Li dropped her legs from the bed and stepped on her slippers: "Then you can poison me to mute myself."

The people in the living room sneered: "Wouldn't it be faster to feed you rat poison?"

Chu Li slept until her arms and legs were weak. She climbed out of bed, stretched her back, and went into the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out, she was refreshed, smelling of shower gel. She wrapped herself in a bathrobe and walked over to Chu Chuan. Seeing that he was typing on the computer without even raising his head, completely ignoring her, she insisted on showing off her presence to him, so she started to make small talk: "Do you think my hair has grown longer?"

Chu Chuan turned his head and saw that her hair was tied into a small bun. Just as he was thinking what the difference could be, his eyes fell on her fair neck which was still covered with water droplets.

A drop of water rolled down his neck.

Rolling all the way into the shadow of the crotch of the towel folded over her chest.

"…I don't know if your hair has grown longer or not," Chu Chuan twisted his head, "I think you really don't want to go out today."

First Li: “?”

The man stood up, sorted out the papers that had just been printed out from the printer, and handed them to Chu Li: "Read these before you go to see Herman tomorrow. These are things I learned when I read Herman's news online a few years ago. They are not very glorious, so they have not been widely circulated, and they have not been widely publicized in China. I just downloaded some and translated them for you..."

Chu Li took it and looked at the overwhelming Turkish and the Chinese translation below. He looked up at Zhuo Chuan in shock. Zhuo Chuan rolled his eyes and said, "The best way to pursue the soul of a foreign writer's work is to read the original text. Even if you are not familiar with his language, you may be able to get a completely different reading experience from reading the translation if you have a basic understanding of it."

"So you learned another language just to read Hermann's books?" Chu Li said, "You are a real fan!"

Chu Chuan rolled his eyes in disapproval.

Chu Li: "Don't be so disdainful. I remember you once said that if you don't become a writer, your life ambition is to be a gangster."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the forehead.

Zhao Chuan: "Is it not possible to be an international gangster? Who can set up his headquarters in a tea shop outside a middle school for his whole life? Gangsters also pursue progress."

Chu Li: "..."

Chu Li took the information in his hand and looked at it. He found that it was a very simple biography of Hermann, including when he created what works, what awards he won, his personality, writing style, hobbies, etc.

It seemed to be no different from Baidu Encyclopedia. Before setting off, Chu Li had already carefully studied the information about Mr. Herman on Baidu Encyclopedia, almost to the point of knowing it by heart.

Chu Li held the information given by Qi Chuan and sneered: "Your information is not as complete as what you can find on Baidu. What's so clever about it?"

The man began to seriously study the route and strategy for today's walk. Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at her: "Can you take a closer look?"

Chu Li looked at the information in his hand carefully: "What are you looking at? It says here that Mr. Herman has written about eight works since his debut, "Moon City", "Elegy for the Rose", "The Knight and the Head", "Jerusalem", "Under the Cherry Blossom Trees, Brilliant and Decayed", "Skin", "Living in No Man's Land", and the most recent one, "The Magpie on the Other Branch", which pushed you out of the stacking position... This is not right. The information you gave even lacks "Ryuuko no Trakshima", a series of works in which Mr. Herman and his best friend created the same world view in his early years. This work was very popular when Mr. Herman debuted in his early years, so he was called a 'genius writer' because of this book..."

Zhuo Chuan was holding a mobile phone in one hand, still checking the walking route from the hotel to the scenic spot. He leaned on the sofa with his elbows propped up. He thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Do you know why the editor-in-chief of "Luohe Divine Book" was suddenly changed from Lao Miao to you?"

"………………Isn't it because I'm beautiful that you covet my beauty?" Chu Li looked at Zhe Chuan, who looked back at her expressionlessly. Chu Li raised her hands and scratched her head, "Well, I remember it was because that idiot Lao Miao said something wrong and raved about how great your debut was, but he didn't know that your real debut was still labeled as never to be published and was kept in your study as a piece of sad waste paper."

Zhuchuan changed his stance.

Pointing at the stack of papers in Chu Li's hand, he said calmly, "You almost made the same mistake. If Ben Juju hadn't been here today, you and I would have been the same people that Mr. Herman would have kicked out like Lao Miao."

Chu Li: "..."

…

At the same time.

When Chu Li was wrapped in a bathrobe and ignorantly accepted Zhu Chuan's education.

Over there, Jiang Yucheng and Gu Baizhi were already dressed neatly and sitting in Mr. Herman's villa in Istanbul.

In order to facilitate communication, the two of them also brought a Turkish translator who was dug out from some unknown corner of the Xindun Society - the tour guide that Chu Li envied so much.

This translator had done written translation work of Turkish materials in the early years and had cooperated with Xindun Press. Later, as he got older, he simply stayed at Xindun Press as an editor... This type of translator has a good habit. Before doing any translation work, he will carefully check the relevant materials and try his best to meet the translation standards of the "faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance" trilogy on the day of work.

There's nothing wrong with that.

After a brief exchange with him, Gu Baizhi was very satisfied that this guy at least knew who Herman was by searching on Baidu, so he didn't think much about it and brought the translator with him that day.

The conversation could have gone very smoothly. Flattery never wears a thread. Gu Baizhi and Jiang Yucheng, two snobbish and sycophantic people, joined forces. What they are best at is using a sincere smile to deceive everything and make the whole world think that they are very sincere... They made the old man so happy that his beard twitched. They even showed them the manuscript of his first work created that year.

…even though it’s just a pile of yellowed papers with traces of scribbles and revisions on them.

However, Gu Baizhi and Jiang Yucheng are intellectuals after all. No matter how good they are at acting, they are still quite interested in "author's manuscripts" because they can best show the changes in the writer's thinking and direction when he was creating the work.

So when old man Herman took it out, both of them came over to take a look.

The translator also came up to take a look, glanced at the title of the manuscript, and told Gu Baizhi and the others that this was the manuscript of "Moon City".

Gu Baizhi remained calm. Jiang Yucheng obviously knew something before and did not raise any unnecessary questions. Gu Baizhi smiled and picked up the manuscript, pretending that she could understand it. She read it through and said, "From his debut work "Moon City" to "Elegy for the Rose", and then to "The Knight and the Head", "Jerusalem", "Under the Cherry Blossom Trees, Brilliant and Decayed", "Skin", "Living in No Man's Land", and the most recent "The Magpie on a Branch" in cooperation with our Crescent Moon Society, each of Mr. Herman's books is a masterpiece. It is a great honor to be able to see the manuscript of "Moon City" today."

Gu Baizhi said this kind of meaningless nonsense.

After the words fell, she could clearly feel the translator pause and glanced at her——

She was wondering if this brother didn't quite understand how to say Mr. Hermann's eight works in Turkish. She was just thinking of reminding him that if he really didn't know how to say them, he could just give a general translation and then tell him honestly that he didn't know much about translation. Anyway, he wasn't a professional translator and no one would care...

Before I could say anything, I heard this guy rattling off a series of book titles:

Gu Baizhi didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

As a result, when she looked up, she saw that Mr. Herman, who was originally quite happy, had a bad look on his face. She felt a pang in her heart and raised her head to ask the translator, "What did you tell him?"

"You missed the book, 'Sky Trails Carved by Dragons,'" the translator said innocently, "I added it for you."

Gu Baizhi: "What? Say it again?"

Jiang Yucheng was silent for a moment. Gu Baizhi took a deep breath and wanted to drag this unconventional and self-righteous translator to do hot air balloon jumping together.

Having been in the battlefield for so many years, she never thought that she would be completely cheated by an outside translator who was temporarily hired by the society for the sake of greed.

Gu Baizhi raised her head and glanced at Mr. Herman's expression. It was as if she saw the cooperation plan between the two parties had taken off and was flying farther and farther. She moved her lips, but she was also a little confused. She didn't know how to remedy the situation...

I don't know if jumping up and slapping the translator now will clear her of her innocence?

At this moment, she felt like the sky was falling.
