Although Qingxi has a tropical climate, known as spring all year round, and no snow can be seen all year round, it is still cold in winter, and this temperature may not be a big deal for northerners, but the locals still find it unbearable.

Zhang Qiuxi had already put on a down jacket, and for the first time in his life, he put a scarf around his neck, and after covering himself tightly, he finally didn't feel cold when he walked out of the door.

The scarf is a good thing, but Zhang Qiuxi in the previous life never used it no matter how cold it was, this is not a woman's patent, but men without women are generally embarrassed to use it, if others ask how it came about, it will be a shame, others are given by sisters, but they are bought with money, can it not be ashamed.

For men, winter is boring, there is no killing to see death, and it is not the season suitable for finding a girl, and even the amount of milk cannot be visually detected, how to find it? Therefore, smart people will find a good time in the spring and autumn seasons, and then sleep together when it is cold, so some people define winter as the season of mating.

For women, winter is the season to breathe a sigh of relief, under the layers of coats, not only poor breasts can not be seen by others, but even a little more fat around the waist is fine, there is no need to lose weight as desperately as in summer.

If you want to say that there are things tempting in winter, then it should be regarded as shabu-shabu, as a foodie red bean, you naturally will not miss this enjoyment, so Zhang Qiuxi, who had made up his mind to stay at home, was asked out.

"What do you two want?" The waiter at the hot pot restaurant came over and asked.

"I want a clear soup (I want spicy)." The two responded at the same time, but the answers were different, and the waiter said: "Then it's the mandarin duck pot, please wait." ”

"Eating too much spicy stuff will cause acne, aren't you afraid?" Red beans are as contradictory as all women, they want to eat and are worried, but Zhang Qiuxi has no such thoughts at all, and he has never eaten less, nor has he seen an extra acne on his face.

Of course, it's better not to say this kind of thing, Hongdou is still worried about the affairs of the European pie, and she can't give her any more reasons to be jealous, so she said: "Eat less, it's okay if you don't get angry." ”

"That's right." Foodies are easy to find reasons to convince themselves in terms of eating, and the red beans are not entangled, but take out a paper bag and say, "Oh, my sister's gift to you." This is what I brought back from France to my international student friend who returned to China for the winter vacation, and it is absolutely genuine. ”

"Cosmetics? Our school doesn't allow makeup. Zhang Qiuxi took it and looked at it, and put it aside casually, she has been a girl for a while, but she has never thought of putting on makeup, and she will be a little resistant when she sees all kinds of cosmetics.

Hongdou said: "Don't let makeup or maintenance, your skin is so tender that you can pinch out water, don't tell me that even if you don't maintain it, it's fine." ”

"Haha, Sister Hongdou, isn't your skin also very good." Zhang Qiuxi laughed dryly, the skin of the red bean is indeed very good, she has already identified it, and the whole body is fair, delicate and smooth and hairless.

Hey, it looks like some strange word has been mixed in.

"That's it." Hongdou nodded, she herself was quite proud of this, and said: "Looking for you today, in addition to giving you cosmetics, there is actually something I want to ask you." ”

"Ale, isn't the purpose of eating hot pot today?"

"Isn't it okay to ask by the way, I said do you want to hear it?" Azuki glared, and then continued, "The question is, why didn't you go to the semi-final of the New Concept Essay Contest in the first place?" ”

"It's all a matter of the Year of the Monkey, why are you asking this?" Zhang Qiuxi was a little surprised, how could he have thought that after such a long time, the matter of the essay contest would be brought up.

Hongdou said: "It's not that I want to ask, it's that many reporters have called the magazine, and even sprout magazine has come to ask, can you not respond?" ”

Zhang Qiuxi put the fat cow into the pot and said indifferently: "Why are they suddenly interested in this matter?" Sprout Magazine wants to know if it's okay to call me directly, why bother to turn your hand. ”

"Do you think that people are only interested in the topic of whether the mechanical public enemy will collapse now, the influence of the New Concept Essay Contest is so great, people find out that you are in the circle and did not participate in the semi-finals, can you not talk about it?"

After the signing meeting, Zhang Qiuxi's identity information was completely disclosed, and "Wen Yiju Moonlight Wine" also caused a small sensation at the beginning, but she was not famous at that time, and an essay did not become popular for long, so it quickly subsided.

Now everyone knows that Xiqiu is Zhang Qiuxi, and the popular science fiction writer is the author of "Wen Yi Pot of Moonlight Wine", which is also a topic, and it is not surprising that it will be turned out, and it is very common for public figures to be "dug ancestral graves".

It's not surprising that people would turn this up, but it doesn't seem like there's much to talk about, right? Zhang Qiuxi said: "Didn't you just go to the semifinals, what is there to talk about." ”

"The writers who came out of the New Concept Essay Contest have always attracted a lot of attention, and this competition has a lot of fans, and I have always been proud of it, and you should have been one of them, but you didn't go to the semi-finals, can you not wonder why you quit the competition? Now there is a lot of talk on the Internet, and there are many people who suspect that there is a shady scene in the competition, and there are many people who say that you are dissatisfied with the organizing committee, and there is a lot of pressure over there. ”

At the beginning, people also wondered why the person who could write the article "Wen Yiju Moonlight Wine" did not win the award, so the organizing committee also clarified that if Zhang Qiuxi had been obscure, no one would care about this kind of thing, but she is now famous, and people's curiosity has been adjusted.

There are all kinds of voices on the Internet, and it is not surprising that someone will take the opportunity to muddy the waters, Zhang Qiuxi said: "Actually, there is no special reason, it's just that the rematch is held in the magic capital, so I can't go, you also know my situation, how can I afford to live in a hotel at that time." ”

――――――

Rumors are such a thing, even if no one will believe the parties, it is still necessary to clarify that the organizing committee of the New Concept Essay Contest and Zhang Qiuxi himself are the same as the matter of withdrawing from the competition, and they cannot be left to others to speculate.

Now many people have thought that she is dissatisfied with the shady scenes, so she quit the competition angrily, the organizing committee has stood up and once again emphasized that the competition is open, fair and just, and if she is silent, others will think that she is acquiescing, so as not to believe the words of the organizing committee, the final result will only be an inexplicable grudge.

"The well-known science fiction writer Xi Qiu entrusted the editor to make a clarification statement on the withdrawal from the semi-finals of the New Concept Essay Contest, stating as follows: I have never been dissatisfied with the New Concept Essay Contest, let alone found that there was a shady scene in it, on the contrary, I deeply regret not being able to participate in the semi-finals.

The withdrawal is completely due to personal reasons, because of the special family situation, I can't afford to participate in the semi-finals, this is the fundamental reason, please don't speculate, and thank you for your concern. ”

After this statement was reprinted and disseminated by other media, the matter did not stop immediately, and there are still many people who are puzzled, because it doesn't cost much to go to the magic capital from Qingxi, and now there are still people who can't even take out this money, which is incredible in the eyes of many people.

Zhang Qiuxi didn't bother to respond to this kind of question, the full man didn't know that the hungry man was hungry, the people in the Western Jin Dynasty suffered a famine and had no food to eat, and many people starved to death, and Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty wondered why these people didn't eat meat.

Although she didn't respond again, but in the Internet era, celebrities basically have no secrets to speak of, and besides, it is not a very secret thing, and the family situation is easy to be dug up.

So the death of her parents was quickly made public, which made everyone believe that she really didn't have the money to go to the magic capital to participate in the semi-finals, and the matter of withdrawing from the competition was a smooth past, but the topic about her did not stop, but caused more waves.

Alone, writing books to make money and eventually becoming famous, how could such an inspirational and positive story media let go, as a result, her name was frequently published in the newspapers, swiped on the Internet, and many fans also called for donations to her, which brought a lot of distress.

The only estimation that I am happy to see this situation is the magazine and the publishing house, the magazine wanted to use this to hype it up, because Zhang Qiuxi opposed it, but now it is the media itself that has stirred it up, and it is completely to reap the benefits, where to find such a good thing.

What makes people laugh and cry is that after the organizing committee of the New Concept Essay Contest learned the reason for Zhang Qiuxi's withdrawal, he was full of regret that such a thing would happen because they did not think it through, and the contestants should not bury their talents because of family difficulties, so after discussion, the organizing committee decided to reimburse the contestants for car travel and accommodation from the next competition to avoid such a thing from happening again.

In fact, even if she can be reimbursed for a qiē fee, Zhang Qiuxi may not necessarily go, because at that time, compared to going to the magic capital to earn manuscript fees, the most important thing is to make her purse bulge.

Aside from the manuscript fee for serialization, the first printing of 200,000 copies of the single book of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" has already been a lot of royalties, and the novel has been selling very well, and according to the news from the publishing house, it will be reprinted soon, and it will be another income when the time comes.

Originally, the novel itself was already very interesting, and now the topic is constantly talking, and if the sales are not good, it is estimated that the people in the publishing house have already laughed crookedly.

Although Zhang Qiuxi is reluctant to use this kind of thing to hype, he can face it calmly after the matter has come to this point, although it has brought some troubles, but it will eventually pass after a while.
