"Actually, I don't know either." Li Huimin scratched his head shyly. "Back then, there was an original project, so we exchanged contact information. To be honest, she was quite depressed during that time. She often chatted with me, and that's how we got together."
Zhou Chu nodded thoughtfully.
It's roughly about rescuing a sad girl.
Wang Yumeng's personality does indeed require someone with a good temper like Li Huimin to tolerate it.
"So how did you two get together?" Li Huimin suddenly looked at him, her face full of curiosity.
"Is this a trick to get information out of me?" Zhou Chu couldn't help but chuckle.
Even if you're going to use a platitude, at least be a little more subtle. He's basically just asking him the same question he just asked him.
"I don't think so." Li Huimin pushed up his glasses, looking like a wise and enlightened person. "You can tell me about it, and maybe I can give you some advice."
Zhou Chu genuinely didn't believe that such a seemingly dull boy could give her any advice.
But since they've explained everything to him in such detail, it wouldn't be good for him to say nothing.
"To be precise, we weren't together." Zhou Chu glanced at the toilet in the distance to make sure they wouldn't come out anytime soon before continuing, "We were just childhood sweethearts. Our families were neighbors, and we happened to go to the same university, so my mom asked her to keep an eye on me."
"Just watching?" Li Huimin turned slightly to face him directly. "I heard from Wang Yumeng that you've moved out. You're not living with Senior Gao Qinyi, are you?"
"It doesn't count as living together."
This kind of thing can't be hidden forever.
He doesn't live in the dormitory, so he must have found a place to stay. We can then trace it back to Gao Qinyi's rented apartment.
"You're living under the same roof, doesn't that count as cohabitation?"
"Strictly speaking, it should be called co-renting."
If you want to share an apartment...
There will be far less ambiguity.
Gao Qinyi and Wang Yumeng were walking towards them.
"Let's go have dinner," Wang Yumeng said, running over first and hugging Li Huimin. She then addressed Gao Qinyi and Zhou Chu behind her.
Her hair was tied up again, in a very neat high ponytail.
Gao Qinyi clearly had just washed her face; although she had wiped it, there were still some water droplets on her cheeks.
Her reddened eyes and nose, in particular, proved that she had just been crying.
"Sister Qin," Zhou Chu stepped forward to greet her, "Are you alright?"
"Of course it's nothing!" Gao Qinyi subconsciously wiped the tip of her nose.
...
After dinner.
The neon lights on the street were dazzling; they had already parted ways with Wang Yumeng.
Originally, everyone was going the same way, but Wang Yumeng insisted on taking Li Huimin aside to cultivate their relationship.
"Let's go." Gao Qinyi glanced at the shopping mall behind her, turned around, and pointed to the subway.
It was already past 8 p.m., and the number of people on the subway had noticeably decreased.
The carriage was quiet; the hurried workers either got on or off the train, completely ignoring everyone else.
"Sister Qin," Zhou Chu whispered in her ear, "Did you have a good time today?"
"It's alright." Gao Qinyi nodded, then turned to look at him: "I just don't know how Wang Yumeng will portray us after taking those photos."
"If I have a clear conscience, what do they care what they say?" Zhou Chu said as he opened his phone.
He didn't even look at the results of his new book after such a busy and fulfilling day!
Since it was Sunday evening, the trial run had already begun.
As for the grades...
It is still somewhat lacking compared to the same period last year.
The increase in collections is not very significant; based on the same period last year, at least 3,000 are needed to advance to the next round.
Furthermore, some readers like to "grow" books indefinitely, which lowers their reading data.
If the follow-up reading is low, the next round of recommendations will not go up, and without recommendations, he will become a complete flop.
In this regard, he could only place his hopes on his lovely book lovers—
I read it every day!
"What if I feel guilty?" Gao Qinyi suddenly asked in his ear.
This question... why does it seem so familiar?
It seems to be a line from one of Zhou's martial arts novels.
Zhou Chu looked at Gao Qinyi with a somewhat absent-minded gaze.
I didn't even notice the screen was off.
The subway keeps moving forward, shuttling endlessly, but here, time seems to stand still.
"Sister Qin, so..." Zhou Chu's question was on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't bring himself to ask it.
It's like my sister is right in front of me, how could she say such strange things?
"So," Gao Qinyi suddenly laughed, slapping him on the head, "I saw what you were looking at! Is your new book not doing so well? Did I call you out like this to take up your writing time and energy?"
So that's why I feel guilty.
Zhou Chu took a deep breath, his smile gradually returning: "It's alright. Coming out with Sister Qin is like gathering material. As for the results, I should be able to advance if I triple my current performance."
"Hmm~" Gao Qinyi's eyes darted around, and she put her arm around his shoulder: "I believe in my Chuchu! Her grades will definitely take off."
In the same familiar pose, her head rested on his raised arm, her eyes blinking as she looked at him.
"Thank you for the encouragement." Zhou Chu had a lot to say, but in the end, only this sentence remained.
As a failure, he had neither brilliant words nor dazzling achievements.
I always feel like I've let Gao Qinyi down.
Writing books has been a dream he's had since he was very young.
He has never had many supporters.
At that time, he was small, and Gao Qinyi would squat on the ground to wipe away his tears when he was upset.
“I want to be the female lead in your book!” Gao Qinyi has liked to pat his head ever since then.
"Don't touch my head!" Zhou Chu burst into laughter through her tears, reaching out to slap away the hand that was touching her: "Mom said that if someone touches my head, I won't grow tall!"
Then she rubbed it even more enthusiastically.
From beginning to end, Gao Qinyi was the only one who firmly believed that he had enough talent and that he could write an excellent work.
I'll write a few more chapters tonight, and maybe revise the earlier ones as well.
Let's go.
They didn't know when they arrived at the station, but Gao Qinyi took his hand and started to walk out.
Outside the subway station, the world was once again shrouded in darkness.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Gao Qinyi swung his hand high in the air. "Cheer up! If things really don't work out, I'll take care of you. Just go after your dreams!"
“That’s definitely not going to work.” Zhou Chu looked at her profile, which was half a step ahead of his. “Mr. Lu Xun once said that when I’ve made a name for myself in writing, I’ll come back and marry you.”
