A sleepless night
........
The next day, Lin Feng woke up early and went downstairs to run in the morning light. At seven o'clock in the morning, he came back from running and bought two breakfasts. However, when he found that the door of the second bedroom was still closed, he ate his own breakfast and went to the study to turn on the computer.
"Which book should I refer to?" Lin Feng fell into thought.
"Is it the one that says, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't despise the young and poor"? Or is it the one that says, "He who makes decisions for eternity?" Lin Feng thought for a long time, but still had no clue. At this moment, the phone rang suddenly.
"Editor?" Lin Feng murmured in a low voice.
"Hello? Is this Lin Feng?" A sweet voice like a yellow oriole singing in a valley came from the other end of the phone, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
Lin Feng came back to his senses and quickly responded, "Yes, it's me!"
"I noticed that the novel you updated last time was doing pretty well. It's been finished a few days ago. What are your plans for your next book?" The gentle voice still came.
Lin Feng thought that the other person must be a beautiful woman.
"Well, editor, I do have plans to write a new book, but I don't have a clear idea yet! I wonder if you can recommend one to me?" Lin Feng replied after thinking for a moment. He had just traveled to this world and knew nothing about the current trends. What if he copied... well, borrowed from it, and it flopped? He had to hit a big bomb to achieve a comeback!
Obviously, there was silence on the other end of the phone.
"You might consider writing a fictional historical novel." Not long after, the other party gave a suggestion.
"Imaginary history?" Lin Feng whispered. Then he lowered his head and thought, history? Since the culture of this world is different from that of the original Earth, are the historical dynasties also different?
"Wai? Are you still there?"
"Oh, sorry editor, I was distracted just now." Lin Feng said.
"Oh? Looks like you have an idea?" the other side whispered.
Lin Feng: "Yes, we have a general direction, but we still need to think about the details."
"Okay, let's add WeChat later. You can give us feedback if you have any questions in the future."
Lin Feng said OK and hung up the phone. A message requesting to add a friend appeared on his WeChat. Lin Feng looked at the profile picture. It was a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with two phoenix eyes like clear water. Although he was looking at the camera indifferently, there was an indescribable clarity and tenderness in his eyes.
Lin Feng just agreed to a message from the other side.
"Clouds, rain, and clear skies"
"Okay," Lin Feng said
Yun Yuqing: "If you have any questions, please ask me on WeChat"
Lin Feng: "Okay, I'll think about it in the next two days and send it to you after I organize my thoughts."
In fact, when Yun Yuqing proposed the fictional history, Lin Feng had a spark of inspiration in his mind. The history and culture of this world are completely different from those of his previous life, so can he directly copy the history of his previous life?
"So what should this book be called?" Lin Feng thought for a moment. How about "The Heritage of China"? Or "A Thousand Years of China"?
.......
When Lin Feng was thinking in the study, the door of the second bedroom opened gently. Meng Qing had not been able to get a good rest in the past few days. She fell into a deep sleep as soon as she got on the bed and slept until after nine o'clock. This was perhaps the most comfortable night's sleep she had had in these days.
Meng Qing walked into the living room and her eyes fell on the breakfast on the table. She couldn't help but feel conflicted. She really wanted to eat it, but she wasn't sure if it was prepared for her. Moreover, this was not her home, so Meng Qing was still a little shy.
Lin Feng sorted out his thoughts and came to a conclusion: "Let's call it "Huaxia"!" This name is majestic and domineering. With the title of the book, Lin Feng felt much more relaxed and walked out of the study.
As soon as Lin Feng stepped out of the door, he saw Meng Qing sitting on the sofa. Her beautiful eyes were as bright as gems, but she was staring at the breakfast on the table. Her aggrieved look of wanting to eat but not daring to eat made Lin Feng's heart itchy as if it was scratched by a cat's claws.
Lin Feng said softly, "Eat it. I bought it for you. I didn't wake you up because you were resting."
Meng Qing turned her head and gave Lin Feng a grateful smile: "Thank you."
Meng Qing walked to the table and started eating without paying any attention to her eating manners. Maybe she was really hungry. She hadn't eaten for several days because she didn't bring her wallet when she went out and her phone was accidentally lost. She only had a bowl of noodles yesterday, so she was already starving.
Lin Feng sat on the sofa, quietly looking at Meng Qing's back.
......
"Ge~" Meng Qing quickly covered her mouth with both hands, and looked at Lin Feng on the sofa with a blushing face. If Meng Qing at this moment were to be expressed in an idiom, it would be coquettish and lovely, making people feel pity.
"Come and sit down." Lin Feng said softly.
Meng Qing stood up, walked slowly to the sofa, and sat down at a distance of two or three people from Lin Feng. Fortunately, the sofa was big enough.
Lin Feng looked at the beauty in front of him and asked, "What are you going to do today?"
Meng Qing looked at Lin Feng and answered softly, "I don't know."
Lin Feng was silent for a moment.
Meng Qing looked at Lin Feng with her beautiful eyes and said tenderly, "I don't want to go home. I finally escaped. I don't have any friends. I don't know where to go..."
As she spoke, the light in Meng Qing's eyes gradually dimmed.
Lin Feng couldn't bear it, and sighed, "...Then you can stay here for the time being."
Lin Feng looked at the pitiful beauty in front of him and couldn't bear to let her live on the street. After all, she was a weak woman. What if she met a bad guy? Fortunately, the royalties from his last completed book had arrived, more than 100,000 after tax, plus the previous savings, he should be able to make ends meet.
Meng Qing looked at Lin Feng with gratitude.
Lin Feng asked again: "Why were you downstairs yesterday?"
Meng Qing pouted, thought for a moment, and replied, "I don't know how I ended up downstairs. I saw the lights were still on in your house, so I just sat downstairs."
In fact, Meng Qing did not tell Lin Feng that she was attracted downstairs by the beautiful piano sound. In her world, someone who can play such beautiful music must not be a bad person...
Lin Feng smiled helplessly and said, "Let's go. I'll take you shopping. Buy some clothes and daily necessities. Since you're going to live here, get your daily necessities ready first."
When she heard that she was going to buy something, Meng Qing's beautiful eyes instantly flashed with excitement. Does this mean that she can really live here, and Lin Feng will not drive her away?
Meng Qing is wearing Lin Feng's shirt and shorts, and the unique outfit exudes a unique beauty.
Lin Feng planned to go to the mall first to buy a set of clothes for Meng Qing. As soon as he stepped into the women's clothing store, the salesperson came up to him enthusiastically. Seeing the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of him, the salesperson's eyes lit up and exclaimed: "The two lovers are really a perfect match."
When she heard the word "couple", Meng Qing lowered her head instantly, her cheeks flushed, while Lin Feng touched his nose a little guilty and replied: "Well, pick out some clothes for her."
The salesperson smiled and took Meng Qing to choose clothes. Lin Feng was sitting in the rest area bored, his mind wandering. Hearing a sound behind him, he turned his head and was stunned for a moment.
A woman was seen wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a denim skirt. Her black hair fell on her swan-like neck. Her arms were particularly charming against the denim skirt. The denim skirt just reached her calves, revealing her straight and tender calves. She was wearing a pair of Martin boots, and she looked like a fairy descending from heaven.
"Fuck? So beautiful?" Lin Feng couldn't help but shout out.
Meng Qing's face turned red, and Lin Feng was stunned. Meng Qing couldn't help but feel a little happy. After all, every woman doesn't like beauty, and she will be happy when praised.
Lin Feng immediately came back to his senses, and asked with a trembling voice, as if he was a little uncertain: "Meng Qing?"
Meng Qing's voice was as pure as ice and jade, yet it also revealed a hint of tenderness, and she responded softly.
Lin Feng touched his nose and said, "Then pack this one, and go pick out a few more changes of clothes and underwear."
Mengqing nodded and turned back to try on clothes.
......
When they came out of the shopping mall, the sun was setting. Lin Feng was hungry and thought that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, so he took Meng Qing to the nearest barbecue restaurant.
As soon as Lin Feng and Meng Qing entered the store, they attracted the attention of the few customers. After all, handsome men and beautiful women walking side by side is a beautiful scenery. Fortunately, it was not yet dinner time, so there were not many people in the store. After Lin Feng and Meng Qing sat down, the waiter came over with a tablet for ordering dishes.
The waiter smiled and said, "Whatever you want to eat, just place the order on the tablet." After that, he handed the tablet over.
Lin Feng looked at the various dishes on the tablet and ordered a few slices of meat. After all, they were here to eat barbecue, so after ordering, he handed the tablet to Meng Qing and said, "Order what you like."
Meng Qing shyly replied, "No, I'll eat whatever you order."
In fact, Meng Qing was a little embarrassed. After all, those clothes were worth thousands of yuan, which was not a small amount for an ordinary family. Moreover, she was currently unable to repay the money, and was really embarrassed to cause more trouble. Although Lin Feng had been very helpful.
Seeing this, Lin Feng said no more and handed the tablet to the waiter.
"I will return the money for buying clothes to you later." Meng Qing said softly.
Lin Feng looked at Meng Qing in front of him and asked, "What are you going to pay me back with?"
Meng Qing was stunned for a moment... She had neither a job nor any savings, and she really didn't know how to repay the debt... Fortunately, the waiter brought the dishes and resolved the embarrassment.
Seeing this, Lin Feng began to prepare skillfully, while Meng Qing stared at the barbecue, then impatiently picked up four or five slices of meat with chopsticks and placed them directly on the baking tray.
Lin Feng watched this scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. He used a pair of tongs to separate the slices of meat that were stuck together by Meng Qing, and said helplessly: "You can only burn the two sides like this, and the middle is still raw. You have to roast these slices of meat separately."
Meng Qing nodded obediently and picked up three more pieces and placed them on top.
Seeing this, Lin Feng was speechless for a while, and could only sigh: "...Forget it, I'll do the grilling."
After saying that, he picked up the meat slices he had placed at the beginning and put them on Mengqing's plate. Seeing this, Mengqing happily picked up the meat slices with chopsticks and started eating.
Meng Qing took a bite and secretly praised in her heart: "Hmm~ It's really delicious, even better than the steak I eat at home."
Lin Feng looked at Meng Qing, who was as innocent and lovely as a little girl in front of him. He felt a little silent and relieved in his heart, as if a father was satisfied when he saw his daughter eating to her satisfaction.
Meng Qing lowered her head and ate the barbecue, not noticing Lin Feng's gaze. At the moment, she felt a little embarrassed. Looking at the remaining barbecue in front of her, she was salivating and wanted to continue to feast on it, but her stomach was already full. She could only stare at Lin Feng feasting there, feeling annoyed in her heart.
As she looked at him, Meng Qing suddenly discovered that the man in front of her had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His eyes were as bright as the stars, clear and deep, and contradictory like a mysterious gem, emitting charming light, just like a third-grade child who should be innocent, but his eyes revealed a depth beyond his age.
Lin Feng noticed Meng Qing's fiery gaze, and he raised his eyes, and happened to meet her gaze. But at this time, Meng Qing was still immersed in her own thoughts, and was not aware of this awkward gaze at all.
Lin Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said in a teasing tone: "Why? Are you attracted by my handsome appearance?"
Meng Qing came back to her senses, quickly looked away from Lin Feng, and turned her head to the other side.
However, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart: "What kind of person is this man in front of me? The piano piece he played was something she had never heard of. Although he was a little narcissistic, he was very sensible."
Meng Qing is quite confident about her looks, however, she did not cross any line yesterday. In fact, she was also betting yesterday that the person who could play such a beautiful piano piece would be a good person...
Seeing Meng Qing's reaction, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly and continued to eat the barbecue. He muttered to himself, "I was just grilling meat for you, but I didn't even have a bite."
It was already five o'clock when Lin Feng and Meng Qing came out of the hotel.
He originally planned to leave directly, but then he thought that Mengqing didn't have a mobile phone, so it would be inconvenient for her to move around, so he took her to buy a mobile phone. When they arrived at the mobile phone store, Lin Feng asked Mengqing if she liked any mobile phone, but Mengqing remained silent. Maybe she didn't want Lin Feng to spend money, or maybe she had other considerations...
Seeing this, Lin Feng had no choice but to choose by himself. After choosing for a long time, he finally chose a middle-priced Poop phone, which was not expensive, more than 5,000 yuan. This phone has good photo effects and beautiful appearance, which is very suitable for girls to use. If you don't play games, the appearance and photo function are enough.
After leaving the mobile phone store, Lin Feng took Meng Qing to apply for a card. Unfortunately, Meng Qing was unable to apply for one because she did not have an ID card. Lin Feng had no choice but to use his own ID card to apply for a card for her.
During this period, the business hall took advantage of the situation and recommended a couple package service to them, which provided free phone calls. After a little thought, Lin Feng felt that the price was affordable, so he readily applied for it.
Meng Qing never opened her mouth to explain. After all, since they left home, people had been mistaking them for a couple. She was used to it and even numb to it.
However, Meng Qing's gaze involuntarily lingered on Lin Feng's back, a little absent-minded.
This strange man in front of me, whom I have only known for two days, has bought me clothes, a mobile phone, and let me live in his house. Doesn't he worry that one day I will leave without saying goodbye, leaving his money in vain?
However, Meng Qing was still a little surprised. Lin Feng didn't seem to ask her too much about why she ran away, nor did he urge her to go home...
Lin Feng stared at the thoughtful woman in front of him. She was like a pure lily, with a delicate beauty that made people linger, pure and weak, making people feel pity. Suddenly, Lin Feng shouted: "Hey!"
Meng Qing was startled by the sudden roar, and was stunned. Her beautiful eyes were instantly filled with grievance.
Lin Feng touched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Let's go, it's time to go home."
Meng Qing followed Lin Feng with her head down like a wounded fawn. They passed by a busy night market, and a little girl grabbed Lin Feng like an elf and said, "Handsome brother, do you want to buy flowers? Your girlfriend seems to be mad at you, buy a flower to appease your beautiful sister."
Lin Feng turned to look at Meng Qing and found that she was still keeping her head down and silent. At this moment, Meng Qing accidentally bumped into Lin Feng.
"Ouch." Meng Qing covered her nose, then apologized softly, and continued to stand beside Lin Feng silently. Seeing this, Lin Feng suddenly felt guilty and had no choice but to agree.
I bought a rose from the flower girl and handed it to Meng Qing. At this time, Meng Qing's thoughts had already drifted far away.
Suddenly, a gorgeous rose appeared in front of her eyes, like a shining pearl, emitting charming light.
She then raised her head and looked at Lin Feng's slightly apologetic expression. The anger in her heart had mostly dissipated, but she still pretended to be proud and moved her head to the other side.
Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to tease you, I didn't mean to scare you." Meng Qing thought to herself: What's the difference? Forget it, for the sake of this beautiful rose, I won't bother with you.
After Lin Feng finished speaking, Meng Qing slowly reached out and took the rose, but still said nothing. However, a hint of imperceptible satisfaction was revealed in her arrogant expression. Seeing this, Lin Feng also smiled with satisfaction.
Lin Feng's eyes fell on the claw machine not far away, and he asked softly, "Do you want to catch a doll?" Meng Qing also looked over, and her eyes suddenly shone like two twinkling stars.
Lin Feng took Meng Qing to the nearest claw machine and put in a few game coins. He concentrated on operating the grab bar, and every movement was as natural and smooth as flowing water. "Perfect!" Lin Feng cheered in a low voice.
Meng Qing looked at Lin Feng's skillful operation and couldn't help but be amazed. Then, Lin Feng caught a few more dolls. The children around him were attracted by the full hands of dolls. They circled around Lin Feng, their eyes full of envy and admiration.
Meng Qing looked at Lin Feng curiously, and saw him share the doll he caught with the children around him, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
Meng Qing also picked up the ten game coins that Lin Feng gave her and put them into the claw machine. She thought that it would be easy to catch the dolls by following Lin Feng's instructions, but that was not the case.
Although the claws caught the doll, the doll would always be thrown away the moment it was pulled up. Meng Qing did not admit defeat and she tried again and again.
Once, twice, three times, and then Meng Qing found that she couldn't catch it at all. Just when she was upset and put it in for the last time, suddenly a pair of big hands covered her small hands. Meng Qing turned her head and saw that it was Lin Feng who had appeared next to her.
Lin Feng said: "You can't catch the doll just by being impatient. Don't believe what you see, go with your feeling, right now." Meng Qing seemed to understand it immediately, and grabbed it randomly and quickly. A pink white rabbit hat was caught. Meng Qing was very happy and didn't notice that her little hand was covered by a big hand.
Lin Feng calmly moved his hand away and touched his nose. (It was not something he wanted to smell) He said, "Let's go home."
It was already very late, and Lin Feng was waiting for a taxi on the side of the road, wondering whether he should buy a car later. Forget it, he decided to wait until the royalties came in.
After arriving home, Lin Feng simply ordered a bowl of noodles. Because Meng Qing had eaten too much in the afternoon and was not hungry now, Lin Feng said, "Take a shower and rest."
Mengqing responded and took the newly bought clothes back to the bedroom. After a while, her little head popped out and asked, "Do you want a v?"
Lin Feng took out his QR code and asked Meng Qing to scan it. Meng Qing then returned to the bedroom and went to take a shower with Lin Feng.
On the other hand, Lin Feng sat in front of the computer in the study and began to think about the outline of the novel.
