Early the next morning.

In the salted fish studio, the fat man Li Lixi got up early as usual, washed up, and then changed into a sports suit, and then he sat on the edge of the bed and looked out the window.

This has been his daily routine in recent months.

Every morning.

Time passed little by little, and several people in the dormitory with him were still asleep, Li Lixi leaned on the desk in front of him with one arm, his chin was supported by the palm of one hand, and half a cigarette was held in the other hand, smoking without a puff.

In fact, he is not addicted to smoking, mainly to refresh himself.

No, even with a cigarette in his hand, his head was still like a chicken pecking rice, and he lit it down from time to time.

I don't know how long he waited, he finally saw Xu Qin's figure go out from the villa gate, today she was wearing a pink tracksuit, red sneakers, and a simple ponytail, and the ponytail trembled behind her head while walking.

When Li Lixi saw her, he was in good spirits, and hurriedly stuffed half of the cigarette in his hand into the empty can on the table, and then hurriedly got up and ran to the door of the dormitory.

Soon, he also went out of the villa gate.

Not long after, he trotted to catch up with Xu Qin in front.

Xu Qin has the habit of running in the morning, Li Lixi has already figured it out, he wants to chase Xu Qin, and has been creating opportunities for himself, no, he has been playing morning jogging in recent months.

got up early every day, and then sat by the window and waited for Xu Qin to go out, as long as he saw her go out, he hurried out.

He is not lightweight, but he is not very bold.

For a few months, most of the time he was only far behind Xu Qin more than ten meters away, sometimes a little farther away.

It was only a few times before he mustered up the courage to catch up with her, pretending to meet by chance, and went for a morning run side by side with her.

As a person who writes essays to make a living, he also has some longing for his love, about how to pursue Xu Qin, what is the most beautiful appearance of their love, Li Lixi has a longing picture in his mind.

He thought he had to be honest.

Honesty should make her feel that he is an honest and reliable person.

Moreover, his chubby appearance can also add convincing power to his honesty.

He also thinks that the most beautiful love should be subtle, and the love of many heroes and heroines in movies and television is born from the contact that is about to leave, and it is born over time.

He felt that if he came forward to confess directly, he might scare Xu Qin, and then he wouldn't even have to be a friend, and it would be even more difficult to have the opportunity to contact her in the future.

Therefore, he deliberately followed her for a morning jog every day.

He didn't even mind seeing him after her when she turned back occasionally, he wanted her to get used to him following her every morning run.

Isn't there a love god on the Internet who says - when a woman gets used to you appearing in her life, she will slowly be inseparable from you.

He wanted love that came naturally, and he looked forward to the day when she would take the initiative to run to him and ask him - "You follow me every day, do you like me?"

He even thought about it, and if one day she ran up to him and asked, he would give her a warm and honest smile, and said a little shyly: "Yes, I just like you! Can you be my girlfriend?"

He believed that when the time came, she should be moved by his silent liking and silent persistence.

Because he has such a vision in his heart, he can persist for several months, and as long as Xu Qin goes out for a run every morning, he will silently follow behind.

He wants her to get used to his presence.

……

The roads in the community naturally can't all be straight, there are many winding paths, Xu Qin ran and ran, and when he passed a turn, the corner of his eye inadvertently swept to Li Lixi who was following behind.

Li Lixi is very fat.

As soon as she looked, she could even see the flesh on his face trembling as he ran.

At that time, she frowned slightly.

Turning her gaze, she suddenly stopped, and looked at Li Lixi behind her out of the corner of her eye, but found that he had also stopped.

The corners of Xu Qin's mouth twitched slightly, sighed secretly, and turned to walk towards him.

Li Lixi looked at Xu Qin and walked towards him unusually today.

I was suddenly a little panicked, and I subconsciously looked left and right, wanting to turn around and leave.

But the next moment he was happy again, because he noticed that Xu Qin's cheeks were a little flushed when he was walking towards him, and at this moment, he didn't think about whether it was because she was running just now, he subconsciously felt that she was shy.

Is she going to come over and have a showdown with me?

Is the scenario that has been dreamed of for so long about becoming a reality?

Thinking of this possibility, Li Lixi's heart was both happy and nervous.

But the longing for a better future made him pluck up the courage to stand there, squeezing out a sincere smile and watching her approach.

Not for long.

Xu Qin frowned and came to him, tilted his head slightly to look at him and asked, "Do you like me?"

Today's Xu Qin is much more beautiful than when she first came to the Salted Fish Studio, her figure has a round and jade feeling, and her temperament has also improved.

At present, there are seven women in the entire Salted Fish Studio, and her appearance and temperament should be said to be second only to Fu Lei, the general manager.

And Fu Lei ...... Because she is the general manager, few men in Salted Fish Studio dare to worry about it, so Xu Qin has become everyone's first target.

For Li Lixi, the scene in front of him, including the question she just asked, was very similar to the most beautiful scene he longed for.

Did I finally move her?

Secretly clenched his fists, he tried to maintain a sincere smile, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Yes, I have liked you for a long time, you, can you be my girlfriend?"

After saying this, he fell into an anxious wait.

He felt that there was a heaven and a hell waiting for him in front of him, and if she agreed, he would enter heaven, and if she refused, he would fall into hell in an instant.

Xu Qin rolled his eyes slightly, his expression was slightly helpless, and he said softly: "I'm sorry, I have someone I like, Li Lixi, don't waste your time on me in the future, really, it's not worth it! Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Lixi's honest smile froze on his face, his heart sank down instantly, and a sour taste spread in his heart.

At this moment, he doesn't have to act.

The chubby face lifted up little by little, the smile on his face showed a hint of grievance, his eyelashes suddenly trembled unnaturally, and he looked at Xu Qin in front of him blankly.

She is still so beautiful, with a slightly baby fat little face, so fair, her skin is so shiny, as if she is glowing, and her eyes are so bright, so like the eyes of Ayumi Hamasaki, the queen of the island country.

If his persistence in the past few months has succeeded, at this moment, he should be able to hug her into his arms, but at this time, she is standing in front of him, a little more than a meter away, but he feels so far away, she refuses him.

She said she had someone she liked......

"Understood, understood......"

Li Lixi smiled bitterly and reluctantly said these two words.

Xu Qin looked at him, nodded slightly, shook his hand, turned around and continued to run, but Li Lixi finally didn't follow this time.

He stood motionless, just watching her run away, just like Wang Dazhui in "Never Expected", looking at the sunset on the horizon, thinking of his lost youth.

Returning to the Salted Fish Studio dejectedly, Li Lixi found that many colleagues had already gotten up, some went to wash, some were playing with their mobile phones, and some were eating bubble noodles for breakfast.

Someone in the studio makes breakfast for everyone every morning, but there are always people who don't like it, and then choose to make instant noodles in the dorm room by themselves.

He Li Lixi sometimes does the same.

But today he sat on the edge of the bed, and without saying a word, silently lit another cigarette.

The roommate who slept in the bed opposite him was eating instant noodles while surfing the Internet on his private laptop, and his eyes only glanced at Li Lixi when he entered the door just now.

Suddenly, the roommate let out a "bang" and looked at the computer screen with a surprised expression.

Li Lixi and another roommate in the same dormitory attracted their attention to the "ah".

Li Lixi, who was in a bad mood, frowned and asked, "Third child, what is your ghost name early in the morning?

Another roommate also expressed dissatisfaction, "That's it, the third brother, calm down, okay? Don't be so surprised, Brother Xi and I can't stand it!"

The young man they called the third child did not argue at all, but pointed to the computer screen in front of him in surprise and shouted: "Come and see! Come and see for yourself! Look at the announcement on the official website of the starting point! The boss's new book is the first to be hung!"

Li Lixi and another roommate frowned, looked suspicious, and hesitated to come over and look at the third child's laptop screen.

In the next second, the roommate who had calmed down the third child just now burst into a foul mouth: "Damn! Really fake? The first order is more than 40,000? Is there any mistake? Is this really the first order of our boss's new book?"

Li Lixi didn't say anything, but his gaze was a little dull when he looked at the computer screen.

What did they see?

There was a big banner at the top of the homepage of the official website of the starting point, and there was an announcement on the big red banner: "Warmly celebrate the first booking of the "Wish of the Dead" on this site to break the 40,000 mark!!"

As an employee of Salted Fish Studio, Li Lixi and his family naturally knew that the book "The Last Wish of the Dead" was a new work by their boss Sun Quan.

And, contrary to all sorts of psychology, they have also been reading "The Last Wish of the Dead" recently.

Or to learn about the success of the book, after all, the book has exploded since the day it was published.

Or in order to have a chance to have private contact with the boss one day in the future, I can praise the excitement of "The Last Wish of the Dead" in a meaningful way, so that the sycophants will not be so embarrassing.

But at this moment, looking at the big red banner announcement above the homepage of the official website of the starting point, Li Lixi was shocked in his heart, and suddenly had another thought.

- If I wasn't a gunslinger, if my work could have a tenth of the boss's book, would...... Will Xu Qin still reject me today?

He didn't know the answer.

But he felt that he couldn't continue to stay here and be a gunman, and he suddenly wanted to resign and leave like Pan Yun, who had resigned and left before.

As far as he knows, after Pan Yun left here, the works he wrote were not bad, and his income was much higher than when he was here.
