Chapter 51: I'm very good at raising

The whole book.,The fastest update I want to accompany you day and night with the latest chapter!

It is said that love and career cannot be complacent, and this sentence is not unreasonable.

Ning Chaoxi finally put the end of the chapter that she had worked hard for many months, and sent it to the publishing house for review, if it went well, the editor of the publishing house told her that it would probably be available in May next year, and when she heard the news, she didn't mention how happy she was, and she felt that she was finally one step closer to her dream.

She originally wanted to wait for the final review results to come out before telling Shen Xi, but she couldn't stand her torture, so she told her what the editor said.

Shen Xi congratulated her: "Yes, after staying up late for so many months, any dark circles and eye bags have not been in vain." ”

Ning Chaoxi touched his head: "It's just saying that, it's not necessarily." ”

Shen Xi said: "The editors of the publishing house have said so, and the time has been set for you, which must be a sure thing." ”

After listening to what her cousin said, Ning Chaoxi suddenly thought inexplicably that on the eve of the college entrance examination, when she sent Chen Xun to take the art examination, she also thought that it was a sure thing that he would be admitted to the best art academy in the country, but who knew that there were so many accidents later.

Heaven is always unsatisfactory, and many things are always difficult to go in the direction we expect and think, and there will always be so many suddenness and accidents that people are caught off guard.

People are good at immersing themselves in the beautiful fantasy of their own weaving structure, and once there is a gap between reality and imagination, it will form a huge gap and make the mood fall into a trough.

A week later, Ning Chaoxi received a notice from the publisher that her manuscript had not been approved and had not been published.

The editor said that her writing was good, but the plot setting was too bland and boring, there were no climactic ups and downs, and the character settings were relatively vague, and she did not pass the editor-in-chief's level.

Ning Chaoxi went to the publishing house to get her manuscript back, and the editor comforted her: "It's okay, there is another chance, you continue to work hard and strive to be published next time!" ”

"Thank you." Ning Chaoxi raised his lips and thanked him.

She walked out of the door of the publishing house, the smile on her face sank, this is not the first time that the manuscript has been rejected, I don't know when it started, the manuscripts she wrote were returned again and again, obviously when she was in school before, the articles she wrote were repeatedly published in newspapers and magazines, as if since she graduated from college, all this has become extremely difficult.

She was sad and irritable, walking on the side of the street, passing by a garbage can, and wanted to throw her manuscript into it, but after all, she couldn't bear to give it up, she simply stuffed the manuscript into her backpack, out of sight and out of mind.

She asked her cousin for half a day off, and now she has to go back to the bookstore to work, she suppressed the depressed emotions in her heart, hurriedly went to take the bus, got off the bus and bought a bread for lunch after passing through the bakery, the center mall has an art exhibition in January, Chen Xun is one of the invited guests, set up an exhibition hall in the hall on the first floor, in addition, the mall also invited well-known writers in the literary world to hold a signing event and a new book launch here.

These activities have now begun to be promoted, Ning Chaoxi entered the mall and saw that there were staff members pasting posters for the exhibition, she stopped in front of a poster, which advertised the photos of the writers invited to participate in the event and the new books she brought, she reached out and touched the words 'well-known writer', I don't know when such a title will be fortunate to fall on her head.

She suddenly felt that she had been busy and empty all these years, and that her efforts for such a long time had only been empty in the end, and she suddenly felt a little dazed, as if she had lost the motivation to continue to persevere in an instant.

She didn't mention this to anyone, not even Chen Xun, Ning Chaoxi swallowed all the negative emotions in her stomach silently, and didn't show any of it in her date with him after work, still giggling as usual, as if she didn't take anything to heart.

Chen Xun came to pick her up from work, Ning Chaoxi watched him lead him upstairs, and couldn't help but be confused: "Chen Xun, aren't we going to eat?" What are you taking me upstairs? ”

Chen Xun took her to the escalator before he spoke: "Buy clothes." ”

"You're going to buy me clothes?" The corners of Ning Chaoxi's eyes curved slightly, "Chen Xun, are you going to give me a gift?" ”

Chen Xun stood behind her, raised his hand and touched her long hair over her shoulders: "In two days, it is Teacher Ying's birthday banquet, and I want to take you to participate." ”

didn't expect it to be this stubble, Ning Chaoxi moved his eyebrows: "Is it that weird old man?" Infected by Zheng Xu, she now uses this title.

"Hmm." Chen Xun responded.

"Am I going too?"

"Well, I want to introduce you to the teacher."

Although Professor Ying Zhonghua's teaching methods and strange temper are unpopular, he is a highly respected master in the art world, he is a teacher-like existence for Chen Xun, as the saying goes, one day is a teacher and a father for life, so he wants to introduce his beloved woman to Ying Zhonghua.

This can be regarded as meeting parents in disguise, Ning Chaoxi also knows the importance of Professor Ying to Chen Xun, and she is also cautious about dressing up at the birthday banquet: "Chen Xun, do I need to dress more formally?" ”

The fourth floor is the women's clothing department, where the world's major brand clothing chain stores are opened. I came once or twice, accompanied her to go shopping and buy clothes, but every time she came, she was empty-handed, because the consumption level here is generally high, and simply put, the price of clothes is too expensive, and she can't afford it.

She entered a French brand clothing store, picked up an evening dress casually, just looked at the price, and was secretly shocked, her hand was taken away, Chen Xun smiled and said: "It's just an ordinary birthday banquet, you don't have to wear it so grandly." ”

Ning Chaoxi muttered, "I'm just going to take a look." He said so, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.

"See what you like." Chen Xun said to her.

Ning Chaoxi symbolically looked around, didn't look carefully, and thought to himself: What's the use of liking, the price is too expensive.

She didn't look closely, but Chen Xun helped her pick a fresh and elegant skirt, and gestured on her: "Go and try it." ”

"Oh." Ning Chaoxi took it, and secretly glanced at the tag of the skirt before turning around to go to the fitting room, and when she saw the price, she suddenly felt that her heart was dripping blood.

She went to the fitting room to change the skirt, the skirt is slim cut, it fits her very well, the plain and elegant color is very good for her complexion, the black hair is like ink, and her skin is as white as jade, she stands there, like a quiet blooming lotus in the lotus pond, the breeze is coming, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off.

Chen Xun looked at her steadily.

Ning Chaoxi was embarrassed to see that he had been staring at her, she touched her earlobe crampedly, and lowered her head slightly.

Seeing this, the shopping guide on the side sighed again and again: "Miss, you look so good in this dress, it flatters you very well." ”

Ning Chaoxi smiled.

Chen Xun came back to his senses and coughed lightly in disguise: "That's it." ”

"Wait......" Hearing this, Ning Chaoxi hurriedly spoke: "Chen Xun, why don't we go to the next one and have a look." ”

"You're not tired after walking around for so long?"

"Not tired, not tired." Ning Chaoxi immediately shook his head, "You wait, I'll go change my clothes." ”

After she changed her clothes, Chen Xun accompanied her to the next one, but still didn't see anything suitable, they went through the entire floor of the store, or the skirt she tried just now was the most satisfactory, and it was dark when she went shopping, Chen Xun directly decided for her: "Go buy the skirt just now." ”

“…… Well. "The clothes here are generally at the same price, and there is no point in shopping any further, so Ning Chaoxi answered him and went back to buy the dress.

Chen Xun paid the money, put the bag in his hand, and when he turned around, he saw her with her eyebrows lowered and listless, leading her out of the clothing store, and when she was taking the elevator, Ning Chaoxi suddenly said: "Chen Xun, I ......" She opened her lips, but did not continue.

Chen Xun seemed to know what she was going to say, his eyebrows narrowed slightly, and after getting off the elevator, he stopped and turned his head to look at her: "Day and night, we don't have to be so clear between us." ”

Ning Chaoxi pursed his lips, hesitated for a long time, and still blurted out the words in his heart: "But Chen Xun, this is your money......"

"Only outsiders can distinguish these things clearly, day and night, do you treat me as an outsider?"

"Chen Xun, I don't." Somehow, she felt that Chen Xun was a little pitiful when she said this, her heart tightened, and she subconsciously spoke.

"How could I possibly treat you like an outsider."

"Since there isn't, don't say that." Chen Xun smoothed the hair on the back of her head.

"Chen Xun, this is not fair." Ning Chaoxi looked up at him, his eyes were a little stubborn, "You have paid so much for me, but I have brought you nothing." ”

"Why not." Chen Xun hooked his lips slightly: "I was smashed by basketball in my sophomore year of high school, you gave me a bottle of bone-setting wine, when I was isolated by the whole class, only you talked to me, you won the essay competition, invited me to eat skewers, helped me tutor Chinese, and encouraged me to take the Academy of Fine Arts...... Day and night, I have remembered all your kindness to me in my heart and never forgotten it. ”

"Am I being so nice to you?" She doesn't remember anything that was too long ago.

"Hmm." Chen Xun smiled, led her to continue downstairs, and said softly: "Don't think so much, think about what to eat at night." ”

"Chen Xun, what do you want to eat?" Ning Chaoxi asked him.

He wanted to say, 'Listen to you,' but after thinking about it, he opened his lips and said, "I want to eat the food you cooked." ”

"I did it?" Ning Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, and when she saw him nodding, she said, "Okay, I'll let you taste this girl's cooking skills tonight, so where are we going?" ”

"My home."

"Do you have any ingredients at home?"

"Like...... No. ”

"I remember that there was a supermarket on the first floor, let's go grocery shopping."

In the vegetable section of the supermarket, Ning Chaoxi was choosing vegetables in front, Chen Xun pushed a trolley to follow her, she grabbed two tomatoes casually, turned around and asked him: "Chen Xun, do you eat tomato scrambled eggs?" ”

"Hmm." He nodded.

She passed by the stall and picked up the eggplant again and asked him, "Do you eat braised eggplant?" ”

"Hmm." Keep nodding.

"What about the stewed meat with bitter gourd?"

"Hmm."

"Sweet and sour fish?"

"Hmm."

“……”

"Chen Xun, why do you eat everything, don't pick anything, it's so easy to feed."

Chen Xun looked at her and smiled: "Well, I'm very good at raising it." ”

Ning Chaoxi tiptoed and patted his head: "Good boy." ”
