On the plane back home, Chu Li thought seriously about the matter of Suiguang and Axian. After thinking about it over and over again, she still felt that she couldn't figure it out. She couldn't think of any way to communicate this matter to Axian in a more convincing way... She finally realized that this new editor was really obedient on the surface but a stubborn person behind the scenes. It would only be a waste of time to force her to argue with him.

Simply blaming her for not doing a good job would only make her feel that Chu Li was biased towards the author and could not distinguish right from wrong, which would only intensify her resentment.

……………………Ah, I’m so upset.

After being annoyed for more than three hours, Chu Li got off the plane. When she was picking up her luggage, Zhu Chuan's video request came. Chu Li took the video. The man was driving at the moment, with his cell phone aside. From Chu Li's angle, she could only see his handsome profile.

"Wife, how are you? Are you not airsick?" Zhu Chuan looked ahead. "I am on my way to the airport now. Have you told your family what time your flight will arrive?"

"I'm telling you, my brother is waiting outside... Just drive carefully, why are you making the phone call? I just landed and haven't even stood firmly when you called. It's more punctual than a rooster crowing." Chu Li held the phone and complained.

The man smiled at her complaint and did not refute her.

Chu Li stared at Zhu Chuan's profile for a while, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Teacher, you and Teacher Jiang Yucheng are always quarreling with each other, don't you ever have a quarrel?"

"Who is nagging him? We quarrel every day," Zhu Chuan glanced at the phone screen beside him, "Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"

"Flirting doesn't count. I mean a real quarrel. I think I've known you two for two years and I've never seen you get really angry. At that time, you were so annoying and mocked him for being out of fashion every day, but he didn't react," Chu Li asked, "Is he too good-tempered or are you too generous?"

"…Why do you have to ask this? Do you want us to have a fight so you can monopolize me?" Zhuo Chuan held the steering wheel with one hand, "You have been becoming more and more possessive of me recently, you are so perverted!"

Chuli: “………………………………”

Chu Li said expressionlessly: "I am asking a serious question. If you don't answer it properly, I will hang up."

Zhuochuan: "Don't!"

Zhao Chuan: "Don't hang up, my husband misses you and wants to hear your voice again. Jiang Yucheng and I don't quarrel because we know each other well. With my father's experience, Jiang Yucheng knows what I hate the most. You can say anything, just don't tell me how to write... Hey, I know. Are you asking this because Suiguang complained to you about your new editor?"

"Huh?"

Chu Li was stunned for a moment, then she felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Suiguang was originally a relative of Zhuchuan, and now he complained about her, so why would he let Zhuchuan go?

Meanwhile, seeing Chu Li's stupid and dazed face, Zhu Chuan started to sneer: "If you have something to ask, why don't you just ask directly? Why are you beating around the bush with me? Do you have the IQ to do that?... I know what you are worried about. Are you worried that this matter is not the fault of the new editor alone? Then I tell you, you are right to be worried."

Chu Li tightly grasped the phone, thinking what medicine this guy gave me, he knew what I was thinking before I even figured it out... After thinking for a while, she said, "It's right for me to be entangled, there seems to be nothing wrong with this matter."

Zhao Chuan: "Literary men look down on each other, my wife. What did Suiguang say when you pressed his head and asked him to revise the outline? He said nothing, because you are the editor, and he naturally believes that what you say must be right, professional, and good for the work. But the new editor is different. The stupidest thing she did was to let Suiguang know that she is also an author. At this time, Suiguang will completely forget her identity as an editor and unconsciously regard her as his colleague... This directly leads to the question - who are you? Are you famous all over the world? Otherwise, what the hell do you have to teach me?"

Chu Li was stunned by what he said. He felt that he had figured it out, but at the same time, his mind was a mess.

Seeing her confused face, Zhao Chuan said, "Jiang Yucheng and I never quarrel because we never interfere with each other's writings. At most, we would sell our work and then say in hindsight: I told you long ago that this thing would never sell!"

Chu Li: "...your friendship is so subtle."

Zhuo Chuan pretended not to hear her taunting: "Now you know how to tell that new editor?"

Chu Li: “…Probably.”

"After worrying about the author, you still have to worry about the editor... Why do you worry about so much every day?" Zhuochuan thought about it, and finally asked as if he couldn't hold it back, "So when are you going to resign?"

"Where are you going after you quit?"

"Whatever, as long as it's not Yuanyue Society, it's fine. If you really don't want to go to Xindun Society, I can find a few authors to start a magazine for you to play with?"

“…”

Chu Li pretended that the signal was bad, waved her finger on the screen, and said "Hello" twice before hanging up the phone... Half an hour later, when Chu Li got her luggage and climbed into the car of the person who came to pick her up at the airport, it was probably because Zhu Chuan's people had also arrived at the airport, so she sent another text message -

[Actor teacher: If you dare to call me when you are so strong, I will record you as a serious offense and wait for you to be punished when I get home. ]

Chu Li sent him a "smiley" emoticon and exited the text message.

I told Ah Xian about the broken light incident on WeChat. This time I changed my tone and spoke on Ah Xian's side the whole time, telling her not to revise the manuscript so hard, as some authors might not accept it.

Tell her that it is good to fulfill her responsibilities, but she does not need to be so conscientious, as the author may not appreciate it.

Tell her again that you didn't do anything wrong. The worst thing you did was to tell Suiguang that you are also an author. This way, you have a certain level of strength in his eyes... He won't accept you.

——You did the right thing.

——It’s all Tokiomi’s fault.

——What’s wrong is this society where intellectuals look down on each other!

After a lot of nagging, the results were quite good. Ah Xian was not a complete fool. Chu Li gave her a step and she quickly climbed down. She immediately apologized to Sui Guang and said that she shouldn't have edited his text like this...

Chu Li was quite satisfied with her performance this time, so she gave Ah Xian the article written by Ah Gui, who was born optimistic and never bullied, and gave Sha Guang, who had an irreconcilable conflict with her, to the editor who had been with Ah Gui...

A few days later, Chu Li asked Ah Gui what he thought of Ah Xian.

Ah Gui’s answer was: It’s okay, the manuscript doesn’t require much revision, so I can have a good New Year.

Chu Li nodded with satisfaction and replied: Congratulations and Happy New Year.

At this point, all problems are perfectly solved.

…

Next is the Spring Festival holiday.

Putting work aside, Chu Li was so happy with the days of having everything provided for her at home that she didn't want to leave. She had become so lazy that she escaped into oblivion, using the excuse that "all pregnant women are like this".

I will naturally not participate in the cleanup.

At most, you can stand next to the washing machine and press the on and off button.

On New Year's Eve, at my grandmother's house, everyone in the house was busy pasting window decorations and couplets. At that time, the aunts and uncles were walking around preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. Chu Li was slumped on the sofa with her belly bulging, eating melon seeds and snacks with her younger brothers and sisters. She was just opening a bag of chocolate and pouring it into her mouth when her mother called her over to help paste a couplet. Chu Li's first reaction was: "Hey, at home, Xichuan doesn't even let me lift my arms."

As soon as she finished speaking, she received a death ray from her mother. The adults in the room laughed at her for being shameless, and then she was grabbed by the ears and asked, "Are you ashamed? Are you so capable of asking your husband to fly over here to protect you?"

Chu Li: "………………Your words are a bit sour."

Chu Li's mother sneered: "I am so jealous, feeling sorry for my husband who is a piece of wood."

Chu Li's father, who was sitting nearby playing cards, looked up when he heard this and pushed up his glasses: "You've gone against the grain after you got married. Don't mess with your mother. How can Xiaochuan still support you in this faraway place?"

Chu Li: "..."

This is really bullying.

Chu Li reluctantly went out to help post the couplets and sent a text message to Zhu Chuan to complain. At this time, she was told that Zhu Chuan was sitting in the study playing games with Jiang Yucheng. How weird it was that these two families were so close that they celebrated the New Year together...

Chu Li had to be extremely thankful that Jiang Yucheng was a man and Zhuochuan was straight, otherwise what would she have to do now?

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Chu Li was pulled up from the sofa and walked up and down the stairs twice to digest the food.

After going up to the second floor, she refused to move in the room with heating. She casually climbed up a window and looked out. Then she found that it was snowing outside. There were children making noises downstairs... Chuli stretched her head and looked down, holding the warm baby. She found that her brothers and sisters were making snowmen and setting off fireworks downstairs. The youngest was only two years old and could not walk steadily. He was wearing a cotton jacket and a small hat and was staggering. He laughed toothlessly...

Yeah, that's cute too.

I touched my belly subconsciously, and when I thought that next year the baby in my belly would be wearing a cotton-padded jacket and looking like a fat baby on a New Year's Eve picture for people's entertainment, I narrowed my eyes slightly, and suddenly I felt that children were not so annoying after all.

Just as I was daydreaming, my cell phone rang.

When she picked it up, it was indeed the teacher. A smile appeared in her eyes unconsciously. Chu Li raised the corners of her lips and answered the phone. "Hello", the man was very quiet because it was forbidden to set off firecrackers in the city center. She could only hear the steady breathing coming from the other end of the phone...

"What are you doing?"

"It's snowing outside. I'm on the second floor watching the kids setting off firecrackers."

"Keep the windows closed, don't catch a cold."

The man's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little nonchalant, as if he kept saying these kinds of reminders so often that he didn't even think about them before he spoke them... This quiet atmosphere made Chu Li's heart move, and suddenly, for no reason, he missed her very much.

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

"Watch the Spring Festival Gala. Turn on the TV and watch it with me."

"Why are you watching the Spring Festival Gala like an old man?"

"Otherwise, there's nothing to do," the man on the other end of the phone said seriously, "You should think you can do something else, as the saying goes, a year's plan begins with spring."

"……………………You are making such dirty remarks in front of your parents, Teacher Jiang Yucheng, and Jiang Yucheng's parents. Do you have any shame?"

"It's okay," said Chu Chuan lazily, "Only Jiang Yucheng understood. He looked up at me now... his eyes were blazing with fire."

“………………”

Holding the phone, Chu Li got up and turned on the TV on the second floor. She and her man watched the Spring Festival Gala while complaining about how boring it was. In fact, she didn't know if it was because she had someone to talk to, but she was just enjoying it...

This phone call took four hours.

When the sound of firecrackers outside the window became more and more frequent, Chu Li looked up at the clock and realized that it was almost twelve o'clock. The man on the other end of the phone sounded a little drowsy. Chu Li said "Hello" and was about to say that it was time to show off your love. Please send me a red envelope of 1,314,520 yuan so that I can post it on my Moments to crush everyone -

Before I could even open my mouth, I suddenly felt something moving in my stomach, as if I had been kicked by something.

Chu Li fell silent instantly.

When Chu Chuan heard her suddenly quiet down, he thought something was wrong with her and asked her several times, "Why don't you talk?" His tone was a little anxious. Chu Li then held the phone tightly in panic. He bent down like a thief and whispered, "Teacher, I just felt like the thing in my stomach kicked me."

Zhuchuan: “…”

Chu Li: "...your son is wishing me a happy new year, eh heehee!"

Zhuchuan: “…”

Zhuochuan: "You are lying, it's only been a few months."

"..." Chu Li ruthlessly exposed, "You are so jealous that your voice has changed."

Zhuchuan: “…”

…

The next day was New Year’s Day.

At noon, Chu Li was still sleeping soundly under the covers when she felt the door of her room opened and closed, and then the covers were lifted up... The cold air penetrated her and froze her. She frowned, thinking that some kid was messing with her. She reached out to slap him, but her mind was still confused and she still remembered to threaten him: "Go play with your aunt, or I'll beat you up if you make trouble again."

He clapped his hands twice and was grabbed by someone.

Then she was picked up along with her quilt and put into arms that still smelled of the ice and snow outside. Chu Li was stunned for a moment, then she opened her eyes dazedly and saw her husband's handsome face very close to her. He looked into her eyes and bent down to give her a kiss on the tip of her nose.

Chu Li: "..."

Chu Li: “It’s all an illusion.”

As she spoke, she closed her eyes and tried to pull the quilt to cover her face... but the quilt was held down. She felt a big hand crawling into the quilt, lifting her nightgown, and groping her belly. Then a familiar male voice rang in her head, full of perverted curiosity: "Where did it move? Where?"

“……………………………………” Chu Li opened her eyes speechlessly and looked into the man’s bright eyes. After a while, she asked helplessly, “It takes four hours between your home and mine to fly here. It’s 10:30 in the morning on the first day of the fucking New Year. Aren’t airports closed for the New Year? Did you come here by rocket?”
