Three minutes later.
The staff lady twitched her lips: "Ms. Xiang Jiaoren, since you have found your husband..."
Zhu Chuan lowered his head and tried desperately to snatch his clothes back from the pair of white little claws: "Who is Xiang Jiaoren? I only know Han Jiaren, and I'm not her husband. Why don't you call security?... Hey, let go! Call the police!"
While Chu Chuan was struggling, Chu Li desperately tried to grab his clothes. In a moment of desperation, she blurted out, "Husband! Don't you want me anymore?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Chuan suddenly stopped pulling out his clothes; Chu Li closed his mouth as if he had swallowed a mouthful of rat poison... raised his head in despair and looked into those brown eyes——
Zhuchuan: “…”
Chu Li: "..."
silence.
The female staff member quickly retreated with an embarrassed look on her face, saying, "What the hell is this that makes me want to call the police?" When she walked away, only two people were left in awkward silence. Chu Li let go, and at the same time, Zhao Chuan quickly pulled back his clothes, narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "Husband?"
Chu Li raised his hands awkwardly, then stuffed them into his coat pockets, lowered his head and whispered guiltily, "Teacher."
Zhuchuan glanced at the guy standing straight in front of him with his head down, like a primary school student who had made a mistake... He was shocked and speechless, and wanted to bang his head against the wall to force himself to wake up from the nightmare -
Some people, when you don't know them, it's fine; when one day you find yourself having intersections with them, you will unfortunately discover that they become everywhere in your life.
Where, where, it is!
The man sighed, "Why did you come here? That's why you asked me how long I would stay here last night - because you were going to look for Jiang Yucheng? Come here in person? It's only a few o'clock, and you didn't even sleep and crossed half of China to look for someone? You are a little girl..."
Chu Li: “Ahhh.”
Zhuochuan paused and said, "You don't like it, right?"
There was a strong threat in his tone, so Chu Li shut up.
There was another silence, and Zhao Chuan frowned: "Have you had breakfast?"
The tone remained vile, Chu Li stared at his toes and shook his head.
Zhuochuan felt in his pocket and took out two meal coupons. He reached out and tugged at the hood of Chuli's coat not so gently, and dragged her towards the restaurant as if he was urging a pet: "Jiang Yucheng is still sleeping. If you wake him up now, it will be a problem whether you can return alive after signing the documents. Do you think everyone is as amiable as me... Forget it, I'm hungry, let's talk while eating."
...amiable? Who?
Chu Li was dragged into the restaurant by Zhuchuan with a confused look on her face.
The two found a seat in the corner and sat down. The man grabbed the menu and quickly ordered the dishes, then handed it to the waiter. He looked up at the person sitting next to him who was staring at him blankly, and raised his eyebrows: "What are you looking at?"
Chu Li blinked and came back to her senses. Zhuo Chuan changed his posture and said, "Tell me, what are you crazy about? You are a little girl. Shut up. Try interrupting me again this time. You are a little girl. Why don't you stay at home and have a good sleep on the weekend? Why do you run to another city early in the morning to find the author? What's wrong with you?"
Chu Li: "..."
Chu Li actually felt that she was being ridiculous, but she left dozens of messages to Jiang Yucheng last night, but he didn’t reply. She was already anxious at the time, and she joined Lao Miao and Xiao Niao in singing the same tune: “Now the whole world is going to be dragged down by you, from Yu Yao to you and even the cockroaches breathing in the editorial department, we will all have our wages deducted, be criticized and laughed at.”
She was extremely anxious at the time and impulsively booked a ticket to City B.
I didn’t sleep well the night before, and took the train to City B in the morning.
Zhu Chuan patiently listened to her finish, cursing in his heart why he had pretended to be a good person last night and pretended to be Mr. L to remind her that she could sign Jiang Yucheng... On the surface, he still looked calm: "Then how did you find me here?"
Chu Li glanced at him cautiously: "...Teacher Jiang Yucheng's Weibo is marked with a landmark."
"……………………" Zhu Chuan was convinced, "This idiot."
Chu Li raised his head, glanced at Zhuo Chuan, and then moved his butt nervously: "Teacher, do you think Teacher Jiang Yucheng will agree to give me this bookmark? It's been more than a year since I created it again. After the preface of the Weibo post was published yesterday, many editors from other companies must have asked about it..."
Zhuochuan sneered.
Chu Li shut up, raised his head and looked at Zhu Chuan inexplicably... The man was quite unhappy with the serious and innocent look, so he changed his posture and leaned back in the chair: "Are you the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary?"
Chuli: “????”
"As for the frontispiece project, anyone who knows about it would think that Jiang Yucheng was plotting against you... You've been criticized for it, and it's fine if you don't blame him," Zhao Chuan said calmly, "but now you're actually worried about whether you can successfully get this book? Do you know the important point - shouldn't a normal girl cry a little first? This is too much. You actually lied to me..."
When Zhuochuan said this, he suddenly stopped and looked up at Chuli as if he was looking at some strange animal: "Why don't you have this kind of reaction at all?"
"………………At first I felt like I was being cheated, and I thought I should find someone to ask why, but I felt like the person I should ask wasn't Teacher Jiang Yucheng." Chu Li said, "It's my fault for not explaining it to him clearly in advance."
"It's not like Jiang Yucheng, that old man, didn't know about it even though you didn't tell him. So you, the saint mother—"
"Teacher Chu Chuan."
“…”
"It's just like when Lao Miao lent three authors, Suo Heng, Nian Nian, and He Ma, to Xiao Niao to pressure me, forcing me to find other authors to do the frontispiece project - the author is the editor's weapon, and the author to the editor is like a sword in the hands of a general."
Chu Li raised her eyelids and met the man's eyes. She threw away her previous timid look and her tone became unusually firm and calm.
"If a general cannot use his weapon properly and insists on using the Heavenly Sword to cut a watermelon, and the watermelon is not cut into pieces but the table is also cut in half, how can he blame his weapon?"
Chu Li placed his hands on the table and clenched his fists slightly: "So I don't blame him. I must convince him."
Zhuchuan: “…”
Zhuo Chuan showed an expression that he found it quite interesting: "Am I also your dragon-slaying sword?"
Chu Li nodded.
Zhuo Chuan: "Then what makes you say that your Dragon Slaying Sword smells like scum?"
First Li: “……………………”
The determination and calmness in his eyes disappeared, and Chu Li felt that this was probably the legendary handsomeness that only lasted for three seconds... Fortunately, at this time, the restaurant waiter brought up the steamed buns. Zhao Chuan, who was leaning on the back of the chair, pointed at the buns and said in the tone of an emperor: "Eat."
Chu Li glanced at him. Zhuo Chuan picked up the chopsticks in front of him, picked up a bun, and put it in Chu Li's bowl: "Here, this was picked up by the chopsticks of my Dragon Slaying Sword. Come and taste the scumbag."
First Li: “……………………”
Why is this person so vindictive?
The more he said, the more mistakes he made. He was afraid that if he accidentally said something wrong, the actor would remember him for the rest of his life. Chu Li simply stopped talking and buried his head in eating the steamed buns that tasted like scum...
After looking at Chu Li who was eating buns quietly with his head down, Zhuo Chuan picked up his phone and fiddled with it for a while, then clicked on WeChat and sent a message to someone who should still be asleep -
[Zhuchuan: You asked for it. You took a hot spring bath and still marked the landmarks in a pretentious manner. ]
【Zhuochuan: Now that banana monkey has come, just to sign your crappy book! Now she is sitting in front of me eating a steamed bun - look at what you have done!】
【Zhu Chuan: How come I know a fool like you? 】
[Jiang Yucheng:? ? ? ? ? ? 】
【Jiang Yucheng: She is here? Now?】
【Zhuchuan: Are you awake? 】
【Jiang Yucheng: I was startled awake even though I wasn't awake. Why did she come? She didn't think I would give her the bookmark when she came... It was so sudden.】
【Zhu Chuan: I sent you dozens of messages on QQ, but you didn't read them, you old-fashioned guy - it's a miracle that your work attitude of never checking QQ when you're on vacation is now outdated, right?】
[Zhuchuan: And about the fact that she came here in person...it might be my fault. After all, she squatted at my doorstep for two days and I agreed to sign the contract that was like sending away a beggar.]
【Jiang Yucheng: How can I be the same as you?! You are just feeling guilty!】
[Zhu Chuan: Can I tell her that I am different from you and that I am guilty?! ]
【Zhuchuan: I am also desperate. 】
【Zhuchuan: So I'm treating her to xiaolongbao. 】
【Zhuchuan: Use your meal coupon. 】
【Jiang Yucheng: ……………………I was just wondering how I knew someone like you. My dad must have lost his mind and decided to move next door to you, ruining my life.】
【Jiang Yucheng: You calm her down first, wait for me for half an hour, I will come later.】
Zhuchuan: “…”
Zhuochuan put down his phone and told Chuli that he had already informed Jiang Yucheng that the editor he had cheated had come all the way to his house based on the landmark he had mentioned on Weibo.
Hearing this, Chu Li, who was holding half a bun in his mouth, lost his appetite instantly. His heart was in his throat. He straightened his back, put down his chopsticks, turned his head and looked at Zhao Chuan eagerly: "Is it convenient?"
Zhu Chuan looked at her flickering black eyes, like a drowning bastard looking at driftwood, thinking that now she knows how to treat me as a relative? However, the man's face remained calm: "I set the landmarks myself, and I did all the evil myself. Can he complain about the inconvenience? Does he have the qualifications?"
Chu Li: "..."
Chu Li put down her chopsticks because she lost her appetite due to nervousness... While waiting for Jiang Yucheng, Chu Li and Zhu Chuan played a game called "Guess which one of the people walking in from the door is Jiang Yucheng" -
