"I see—I understand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Thinking of this, Jiang Yucheng couldn't help but smile softly.

"There's... What's so funny?"

"No—it's just that I never thought my work could have such a miraculous curative effect......"

"Uh......h Hate ......"

Shanshan clenched her little fists all of a sudden—this should be tsundere again! Of course, although the speculation is so, in order to prevent her rare favorability from falling again, it is better not to die.

It stands to reason that at this point, Jiang Yucheng should have all the questions he wants to ask

Just when Jiang Yucheng was guessing what she was thinking, she spoke again:

"That's right...... It's rare to talk about it once...... I'll just ask..."

Jiang Yucheng had always asked questions just now, but this time it was Shanshan who took the initiative to ask, "... Why do you take such good care of me? Isn't it good to leave me alone? Someone like me..."

I see!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yucheng had a brain-opening idea: In the future, he will find a few classmates from the School of Information Science to start a business together, and then he can directly let Shanshan be the product manager......

"Because, although I was illustrating my brother's novel, my brother didn't know about it before...... Shanshan added.

At this point, Jiang Yucheng already has a little understanding of what he wants to ask - just like Xiaoqi, who is a childhood sweetheart, and Xiaoqi, who is a witch Nana, have completely two attitudes towards herself, Shanshan also has two levels of cognition of herself. So the question is - it has nothing to do with the external identity of the right hand king and the little fat man, what does Shanshan, as a younger sister, think of herself?

"Actually, this is what I want to ask-" Thinking of this, Jiang Yucheng opened his mouth and asked rhetorically, "Why did you follow Xiaoqi to the hospital when I collapsed at home before? Since Xiaoqi is here, isn't it good to ignore me at all and put me aside?

"Liars ......"

"Huh?"

"Brother is a liar!!traitor!!Big bad!!!"

Like a fried kitten, Sansa shouted in a loud voice—and then, tears flowed down Lori's cute cheeks......

"How...... What's the matter?" Jiang Yucheng panicked all of a sudden, "Don't ......"

"Get out! Get out of the big bad guy!!"

The girl cried as she knocked Jiang Yucheng out of the door......

――――――――――――――― Dividing Line―――――――――――――――

Sitting at the dining table, Jiang Yucheng ate Xiaoqi's dinner without saying a word - he still couldn't figure out where he had stepped on the thunder before, but now Shanshan had shrunk back into the room. There was no way, Jiang Yucheng had no choice but to divide the dinner prepared by Xiaoqi as before and send it to Shanshan...

Normally, if Jiang Yucheng didn't say a word while eating, there was a good chance that he was dining alone - but this time it was completely different, Xiaoqi sat across from him and moved chopsticks with him. The two of them didn't talk to each other, just concentrated on destroying the food in front of them.

If it was before, Jiang Yucheng would definitely feel that such a quiet meal would be a little too dull - although the threat of the god Wu Nana still exists, but since the incident of righteousness and bravery, the relationship between himself and Xiaoqi in reality has returned to the same as before, frank, natural, and nothing to talk about.

It stands to reason that Jiang Yucheng should feel uneasy when it is so quiet now, but now, Jiang Yucheng feels that even if there is nothing to say, the current environment is still very frank and natural.

"Xiaoqi, I still have to thank you for this time..."Half a bowl of rice, Jiang Yucheng still broke the silence first.

"Brother Yucheng, you're like this again..."Regarding what Jiang Yucheng said, Xiaoqi did not hide his good-natured impatience, "Could it be that when I encounter danger, Brother Yucheng will stand by and watch?"

"That's definitely not going to happen," Jiang Yucheng hurriedly shook his head, "As long as I'm there, I'll definitely protect Xiaoqi's ......"

"Yes—and vice versa. Xiaoqi said, "So Brother Yucheng don't ......"

"No, I'm not talking about the hospital. Jiang Yucheng interrupted Xiaoqi's words, "This time, I want to thank you for helping me take care of Shanshan during this time." ”

"Oh?"

"Shanshan, this kid... The personality is a little eccentric.,And I don't like to communicate with people very much.,Always like some... Well, it's always a bit troublesome to take care of things that are not easy to accept..."Jiang Yucheng wants to communicate with Xiaoqi about his parenting experience... Let's raise a sister. Of course, although the gratitude is real, "it's a bit troublesome to take care of", this is completely polite for Xiaoqi - Shanshan's attitude towards Xiaoqi is much better than her attitude towards her own real brother......

"Well, actually, Shanshan is very well-behaved..."Xiao Qi smiled softly, "This kid is actually more sensible than he seems on the surface... But she is very thoughtful, thinks a lot, and sometimes doesn't like to say it - I personally think that Brother Yucheng should try to communicate with her as much as possible, as long as she has patience, little by little, she is actually very willing to open her heart. ”

I see, patience? It seems that the important thing is not to be impatient, not to mess with oneself -- Jiang Yucheng secretly wrote it down.

"By the way, Xiaoqi," Jiang Yucheng suddenly thought of something, "I'm ashamed to say it-"

"Huh, what's wrong?"

"I've been trying to keep my painter for a while, and I've made some brainless efforts to do this..."Jiang Yucheng said a little embarrassed, "but I've never asked where your work is going..."

"Well, if my work progress..."Speaking of his work, Xiao Qi, who is a writer, suddenly became interested, ""Ambition Sky" is about to be put on the shelves recently-although this is just a casual write--but since it has become unexpectedly popular, then I must pay more attention, after all, business writing, making money is the king. ”

I see...... It seems that if the subscription is exploded this time, it will not be a pit-Jiang Yucheng thought secretly. In the writer's circle, Nana has always been a staunch pragmatist - although Xiaoqi often emphasizes that she should read famous books rather than online articles, her own writing style is the type that caters to and controls the preferences of readers......

Of course, it's still too early to say whether the book can be completed - after all, regardless of how the physical circle is, at least in the online literature world, the god Wu Nana is a famous pit god. She has four or five books to her name, and only one book is finished, minus the serialized "Ambition Firmament," which we can assume with good faith that it will be completed this time. And it's the only one that completes the work.,It's also obvious that a lot of volts haven't had time to be closed at all.,It's a typical unfinished work.。

"Over there... The original manuscript of the new work has been completed, and it will be sent to the publishing house after the eleventh holiday," Xiaoqi continued, "The editor asked me to confirm the illustrator as soon as possible, but Brother Yucheng, you also know that this work was prepared from the beginning to win the joining of the right hand king..."

That's it--although Xiao Qi's tone didn't fluctuate, neither Jiang Yucheng nor Xiao Qi himself would take this understatement lightly: if Jiang Yucheng wanted to keep Shanshan or Xiao Qi wanted to get Shanshan's cooperation, now was the last chance. It's rare for the atmosphere to be so frank, so let's ask what you want to ask directly! Jiang Yucheng then opened his mouth:

"Speaking of which, Xiaoqi, I have a question for you... Is the right hand king really that important to your new work?"

"How important is it?" Xiao Qi lowered her eyes and frowned, "Well... I can't say for sure right now, because there's no proper ruler. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Qi suddenly turned his head to face Jiang Yucheng and asked rhetorically, "So, how important are Brother Yucheng, Shanshan, or the Right Hand King, to you?"

“… Of course, it's extremely important. ”

Although the language used to describe it is a bit lacking, Jiang Yucheng's semantics are very solid.

"No matter what, I don't want to give up Shanshan, give up the right hand king..."

Seeing Jiang Yucheng so resolute, Xiao Qi was a little embarrassed for a while, but after thinking for a moment, she smiled:

"If that's the case, then let's compare the importance!"

"Huh?" Jiang Yucheng was stunned, "... Compare?"

"That's right, let's compare!" Xiao Qi nodded, "As the saying goes, words are the voice of the heart, the more important the position in the heart, the more excellent works should be written, right?"

“… That's true..."

"Then please ask Brother Yu Cheng to write impressive works as he once promised! Although there is no first and no second, but this time, just find Shanshan to be the judge! If Shanshan thinks that your work is better than the article I carefully prepared after reading it, then I can only admit that it is better for the right hand king to be your painter. ”

"Well..."

Jiang Yucheng thought about it in his heart, and felt that it was really difficult to make another breakthrough when "War Queen's Plan" was written to this extent. And if you want to compete with Nana's article for Shanshan's favor, it is not easy to use the existing structure. As if sensing Jiang Yucheng's hesitation, Xiao Qi added:

"It doesn't have to be "Battle Ji Project", if Brother Yucheng thinks it's more convenient to play from scratch, it's okay to open a pit alone. In terms of length... It's like a single book, about 100,000 words, so that the two sides are equal. ”

"That is to say... Shall we each use a one-liner to compete for the winner?"

Jiang Yucheng was a little embarrassed to come to this conclusion, but Xiaoqi, or Nana, admitted with a smile:

"That's right. ”

Jiang Yucheng's heart began to accept such conditions a little: "The deadline is the end of the eleventh holiday, right?"

"I don't mind, but the editor can't wait any longer. Xiaoqi smiled, "In addition, if Brother Yucheng wants to, it's okay to take a look at the manuscript I wrote first!"

"Is it okay?..."

"Of course. ”

Listening to Xiaoqi's words, Jiang Yucheng was really a little moved--Nana's unpublished works should be able to bring him a lot of shocks and surprises as before, right? But he thought about it again: This is the enemy he has to face, the goal he wants to surpass, if he "can't stop" after watching it, wouldn't it be equivalent to surrendering his gun? Jiang Yucheng waved his hand and said with a little trepidation:

"Well, forget it - I'm looking forward to the new book or something, but I'll wait until I officially show the work..."

Xiao Qi smiled understandingly.

"Well--wait until October 7th, I'll come to you with my work..."Jiang Yucheng said, "Although it's a bit big to say this, I think you can also look forward to it a little bit, Xiaoqi..."

"Okay!" Xiao Qi smiled and nodded, "Then, I'll wait for Brother Yucheng's work to be born!"

―――――――――――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――――――――――

On September 28, there are two days left before the National Day holiday

Although nominally speaking, the last weekend before the eleventh long holiday is a string off, but it just so happens that there are no classes on these two days, so for the frustrations of the chemistry department, it is equivalent to a nine-day holiday in a row. Students living in other places are discussing taking this opportunity to have fun in the city, and Jiang Yucheng's roommates have also put forward many plans, such as organizing a group to go to the Songjiang River for barbecue, or going to the European style of Fleet Street. However, Jiang Yucheng refused all these invitations - because a difficult battle awaited him!

"I would agree to a duel with Nana... This is self-defeating!"

When Jiang Yucheng thinks back, he will also be surprised that he was actually blinded by the harmonious atmosphere at the dinner table, and did not realize the surprising nature of the matter:

"If you don't die, you won't die..."

"Ha, that's exactly what I want!"

Compared with Jiang Yucheng, Yu Baochen was very interested in this, "If you don't do anything, you won't stop doing it! This time you must defeat that guy Nana!"

"I said..."Jiang Yucheng looked at this Baitou Mountain Born Divine General - he had already noticed an abnormal problem: although this Divine General was usually very calm, but whenever he mentioned the Divine Witch Nana, this guy would be like seeing triethyl aluminum in water, "... ・Why are you so keen to go against Nana?... ・”

"Oppose?" The natural god conceitedly pinched the brim of his hat with his right hand (Note 1), "It's not a rivalry, this is called fighting when the enemy is seen! Now is the time to raise the Z-shaped flag-England_expects_that_every_man_will_do_his_duty!"

After a few seconds of rethinking it with great ambition, the god will realize that there is a hole in the sentence he just said:

“… and_her_duty！”

"Well... Then let's fight him..."Jiang Yucheng sighed - he found that although the god and witch on the Internet Nana were sharp-toothed, spoke harshly, and often fought with people on the forum to hundreds of floors, but in reality, Xiaoqi herself had a very gentle personality and was not an aggressive person, and she didn't really care too much about those things. But Yu Baochen is the opposite - all the plot developments related to "fighting" can make her as excited as if she had been beaten with chicken blood...

The appearance of the innate god dancing at this time is indeed as if he is standing on the three-story cannon deck. However, with her appearance, it was still a bit difficult to co-play Admiral Nelson: it was not just a matter of having an extra arm and an extra eye (Note 2). She was still wearing the same sports vest tennis skirt as she had been in the hospital, and Lord Nelson would not have worn such a cool outfit even when commanding the Battle of Aboukir in the scorching Mediterranean sun.

It's been days... Her clothes should have been washed, right?--Jiang Yucheng asked with such concern:

"It's nice to be able to wear a skirt... But is that all you have is this dress?"

Without thinking, God will answer:

"I don't even have this dress, it's what my mom wore when she was playing. ”

Yes, Jiang Yucheng thought to herself, Aunt Huang's height is not as good as her daughter, no wonder the skirt looks so short, and the top is not long enough, and the waist is a little... Uh-huh. And if you compare your appearance with Xiao Qi, although the god will have an overwhelming advantage in other aspects, only the thick legs are overtaken by Xiao Qi......

However, Jiang Yucheng's complicated expression seemed to make the gods mistaken, and she was a little dissatisfied:

"Why, are you dissatisfied?--Wearing a skirt is not such a simple matter, and I have specially plucked all the leg hairs one by one!"

"Pull ...... Plucking leg hair?" Jiang Yucheng had to admit that as an otaku, he had never considered this problem.

Yu Baochen snorted: "How do you think Nana's absolute realm is so white and tender?"

No! Xiao Qi's beautiful legs don't grow any hair, Xiao Qi's beautiful legs are originally white and tender!-Jiang Yucheng protested in his heart. But then again, maybe it's because he just plucked his hair, and Yu Baochen's rounded thighs are also white and red...... Such an attractive skin dangled in front of Jiang Yucheng's eyes, even if the legs were too thick, even if he knew that it was a natural god, Jiang Yucheng still felt a little ...... Calm can't ......

As for the fact that he had not worn a skirt before, the god would explain that he had been riding a bicycle for seven years in middle school, so he had never worn a skirt - this would not seem so strange when explained: Yu Baochen and Jiang Yucheng had only been out of high school life for a year, and they still had many habits of middle school students, in fact, her short hair was the same!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yucheng suddenly had an idea: If Yu Baochen values his opinion so much...

"Now that they're all wearing skirts... Do you want to keep it black and straight?" he suggested

"Huh?" Admiral Yu Baochen, who was climbing on the top of the girder and pointing at the country, was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Yucheng added: "Wouldn't it be more ... ・Hmm, Kakui a little?"

Yu Baochen immediately showed a serious thinking expression: "Is the black long straight?... Well~~~ It may be a bit troublesome to take care of, but it's a good choice..."

"Look..."

"Alright!--decided," the Divine General's face was full of high fighting spirit, "If this duel can defeat Nana's guy, I'll keep my hair black and straight!"

"That's right..." Jiang Yucheng was just about to be happy, and suddenly felt that the words of the god general seemed to have left a little tail:

"What if you don't defeat it?"

"Then I'll shave my head. ”

"What a rice ?!......"

Jiang Yucheng was shocked again. But over there, the god himself is saying in a serious way:

"There's nothing wrong with shaving your head - not only do you not have to get a haircut, but you also save ...... time to wash your hair."

"Don't mind... ・Jiang Yucheng's expression began to distort: Girl, you are hanging like this, what should I do if Aunt Huang and Uncle Yu come to me to settle accounts!

Note 1: Pinching the brim of a hat with the right hand is a classic Royal Navy salute gesture, and if you are not wearing a hat, you can do the same in the air on your forehead. This gesture of pinching the brim of the hat later evolved into a widely popular military salute of raising hands.

Note 2: On July 12, 1794, Horatio Nelson was struck by a flying stone during the siege of Calvi and lost his sight in his right eye. On July 22, 1797, Nelson suffered a knife wound and had his right arm amputated during the Santa Cruz landings.
