Chapter 189 Chu Dexi
Seeing Shen Xuewei glaring at him, he reached out and suddenly smacked her on the head, slipping her two bills before she could get angry.
Wu Yuhong, who was standing nearby, also slipped Wu Yuhong a fifty-yuan note.
"Alright, go back to school now. Here's your allowance, buy whatever you want."
Wu Yuhong held the fifty-yuan note helplessly, wanting to return it.
"Brother Yang, I can't accept it."
"Alright, it's just fifty yuan. You've already called me brother, so just take the money."
He added one last thing to Shen Xuewei: "Study hard, your second uncle will come back to see you when he has time."
After saying that, he rolled up the car window and drove away.
Wu Yuhong looked at the money in her hand and felt a little embarrassed to take it, so she simply stuffed it into Shen Xuewei's pocket.
Shen Xuewei pulled her along, and as they walked toward the school, she stuffed the money into her hand.
“Take it. Your second uncle doesn’t need this fifty yuan, and neither do I. He said it’s for you, so it’s for you. Spend it as you please.”
She didn't intend to argue with Wu Yuhong over the fifty yuan, so she simply quickened her pace and walked ahead.
After going up to the dormitory building, the two went their separate ways back to their own dorm rooms.
Shen Xuewei washed her face, filled a bucket with water, and took a bath.
After she finished packing, she put on her backpack and headed to the computer lab.
The novel she's currently writing is expected to be around a million words long, and she plans to spend a semester on it.
Her first CEO romance novel will finish serialization next month, and her next one is estimated to be serialized on Lock Love in December.
The payment for the article is expected to be deposited into her account in January.
In her collaboration with Bie Yang, the royalties were usually only deposited into her account after the serialization of the work was completed.
The collaboration with Lock Love results in faster payment of royalties.
Basically, the entire series will be distributed to her the month following the first serialization of the work.
The book she has in her hand, once finished, will be serialized in the Locked Love magazine, and it's estimated that it won't be published until the second half of next year.
Once all these royalties arrive in her account, she'll probably have over 800,000 to nearly 900,000 yuan.
However, thinking about the taxes deducted from her novel writing over the years, she felt so heartbroken she almost fainted.
Why should so much tax be deducted? She's still a minor!
She tried to comfort herself, and it took her a long time to calm down.
He channeled his energy into writing, constantly producing words with surprisingly high efficiency.
In just four hours, he wrote nearly 20,000 words.
Noticing that it was already 6:50, Shen Xuewei quickly saved the file, shut down the computer, locked the door, and rushed back to the classroom with her backpack.
Campus life passed by, still fulfilling and busy.
As October drew to a close, short sleeves were gradually replaced by long sleeves. When Shen Xuewei returned home for the weekend, she heard the news that Chen Fangli had safely given birth to a child.
On Saturday, she followed her grandmother, carrying the gifts she had bought for her second aunt, and headed to the Chu family's house.
Chen Fangli is still in her postpartum period and it's inconvenient for her to be exposed to drafts or see people, so she hasn't been seen by outsiders much.
Shen Xuewei and the other person arrived, and she called to them from inside.
Shen Xuewei brushed the dust off her clothes and then brushed the dust off her grandmother before slowly opening the door and entering the house.
Grandma Xi sat by Chen Fangli's bedside, gazing kindly and lovingly at the child in her arms.
"This child is really good-looking."
Chen Fangli smiled and waved to Shen Xuewei, who had just closed the door.
"Weiwei, come here quickly and take a look at him."
Shen Xuewei slowly approached and looked at the baby in her arms.
The baby, only a few days old, has a pointed head, swollen eyelids, and is squinting as if still sleeping.
It doesn't look very good...
At this moment, Grandma Xi looked at the child and said, "This child is handsome. He looks a bit like A-Yang. He will definitely grow up to be a handsome young man."
Shen Xuewei looked at him several times, but couldn't see any resemblance between her little cousin and her second uncle.
Chen Fangli's eyes softened. "They say a nephew resembles his uncle. If he grows up to look like A-Yang, that would be a good thing."
She was plain-looking, but if her two children were good-looking, she wouldn't have to worry about them suffering because of their appearance.
I still can't see where this child resembles Chen Fangyang's Shen Xuewei. I silently asked myself:
"Second Aunt, has he been named yet?"
Chen Fangli gently tapped the child's flat nose. "He's up. Your second aunt's husband found a fortune teller in town a few days ago. His name is Chu Dexi."
She took Shen Xuewei's hand and gently placed it on Chu Dexi's hand.
"He doesn't have a nickname yet. Weiwei, can you help me come up with one?"
Grandma Xi disagreed, saying, "How can a mother not be so capable as to let others choose the child's nickname? If you let Weiwei choose it, what if Afu and his father have objections later?"
Chen Fangli, however, was unusually persistent.
“I told them that I would decide the child’s nickname, and I wanted Weiwei to name the child. Besides, Weiwei is not an outsider.”
"Sigh..." Grandma Xi sighed, but didn't say anything more, letting her decide.
Facing Chen Fangli's expectant gaze, Shen Xuewei looked at the tiny baby holding her finger and seemed to see that silent, frail figure from many years later.
After a long pause, he said softly:
"Kang Kang, let's call him Kang Kang as his nickname. I hope he will be healthy and safe all his life."
I hope he can live a healthy, peaceful, and accident-free life.
"Okay, then we'll call him Kang Kang from now on."
As Shen Xuewei left Chen Fangli's room, she noticed Chu De'an glancing towards the room from time to time in the living room.
Upon seeing Shen Xuewei come out, Chu De'an quickly turned his face away, pretending that he hadn't seen anything.
Shen Xuewei knew what he was thinking and sat down beside him.
"I just saw Kang Kang, and he doesn't seem as good-looking as you were when you were little."
Chu De'an's lips curled up slightly, then he quickly suppressed it, looking somewhat awkward as he said:
"Sis, you're only a few years older than me, how would you know what I looked like when I was little? Kang Kang...wait, Kang Kang..."
Shen Xuewei nodded slightly, "Kang Kang is your younger brother's nickname. You also have a nickname, An'er, which means 'I hope you will always be safe and sound.'"
Although the nickname and formal name are not much different, it's fine as long as it exists.
“I’m a few years older than you, of course I know what you looked like when you were little, there are still photos to look at. Oh, right, I also have photos of you when you were little without pants…”
Chu De'an was furious and embarrassed. "Ah—it must have been my mom who showed it to you. No, sis, you're not allowed to mention this again!"
Looking at Chu De'an who jumped up, Shen Xuewei tried hard to suppress her smile.
"Hmm, I won't mention it."
She showed Chu De'an the twenty yuan she was clutching in her hand, and waved it in front of him, "I have money here, do you want to go...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Chu De'an immediately interjected, "Go, go to the convenience store right now."
With a smile in her eyes, Shen Xuewei was pushed out the door and headed towards the village store.
Little brat, how could she not handle this kid?
After buying a lot of snacks at the convenience store, the two played with the village children for a long time before finally returning to the Chu family home.
After having dinner at the Chu family's house, Chen Fangli was reluctant to let Shen Xuewei leave. Shen Xuewei also wanted to stay at the Chu family's house for another night, so she begged Grandma Xi to let her stay as well.
Grandma Xi used Chen Fangli's phone to call Grandpa Chen, saying that she wouldn't be going home that night and would stay at the Chu family's house for the night.
The next morning, after having breakfast, the two left the Chu family home.
