"There's not even a decent reason to do it...... The editor in charge will definitely drench the blood of the dog you scolded. ”

“……”

The trembling eggs always shivered.

Then he pulled himself together again, "That'...... Teacher Sansan, you teach me, how to fool the editor? ”

"How can I teach you? My books at a certain point are large in quantity and high quality, and they are never delayed. ”

Sansan put on an expression of "I don't understand what you're talking about at all", and refused while boasting.

“…… Also, don't call me a teacher for this kind of thing, thank you, you know, I'm a positive author......"

"......" Dan always scratches his ears and cheeks alone.

"In this case, I can only tell the editor in charge that I have fallen into a state where I can't code words."

"What do you mean?" Sansan raised his eyebrows.

Mr. Dan gave a serious example: "I went to the bank, but unfortunately I was taken hostage by the bank kidnappers or something." ”

"Uh, if that's the case, the kidnappers will give you time to contact the Edit Code Report?"

"Then what can I do......" Egg always franted, "or else?" My sister has been kidnapped, the kidnappers are asking me for a ransom, I have to hide my eyes and try to raise money, now is not the time to code......"

"Flutter!" Sansan was suddenly happy.

"What are you laughing at?" Dan's expression froze.

"I didn't laugh...... Poof, hahaha. "Tactical back-back.

"You're laughing at me! You haven't stopped! ”

"Mr. Dan, I'm professionally trained, no matter how funny I am, I won't laugh...... Unless you can't help ......"

Sansan smiled very happily.

“…… Also, you don't have a sister at all, do you? ”

"It's not important, I'll just find a girl to confess."

"Huh? You don't have any female friends at all, do you? ”

A casual sentence became a blow to him.

The egg fell silent for a long time.

After a long time, he lit a cigarette and held it, spit out a puff of white smoke rings, and looked at Sansan with deep meaning:

"Why don't you try it out in women's clothing?"

Sansan: "??? ”

wdnmd。

Let me have a wife and a daughter's women's clothing, there is really you.

"In short, don't think about these things that you don't have, it's better to have than code words."

"So, it's impossible to finish it! It's not like I'm trying to procrastinate, so I'm going to be able to drink with you guys in the evening. ”

"Forget it, I'll call Su Chen and tell him that he won't be used at night, and someone is in a hurry to catch up with the manuscript."

Sansan took out the phone.

"Don't ——!"

Egg always came over with a slippery shovel and hugged Sansan's thigh again.

"It's really rare for everyone to have time today, you must not destroy this opportunity, otherwise others will think that I have backtracked, and thus feel unhappy."

"That's a lot of...... Sansan was speechless and put away the phone.

"Forget it, you can figure it out by yourself......"

"If I don't code, I'll go back first."

"Also, Mr. Dan, I advise you to do it yourself, the rest of the day today, don't waste your energy thinking about those meaningless things, you can write one more word and concentrate on writing, you know?"

"......," Mr. Dan slumped his shoulders in despair, "Why are you like my editor-in-charge......?" ”

"It's for your own good."

Sansan sighed, and was about to open the door and leave the box.

The door suddenly opened on its own, and a man in a suit with a terrifying expression entered the box.

Looks like a mafia who has come to seek revenge.

"Hey, wait a minute, what are you doing?"

Sansan was startled by the vicious-looking young man.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

The man apologized to Sansan, "I'm the editor in charge of that stupid guy inside, the whisper of the lightning strike library. ”

It turns out that this man is the editor in charge of the egg is always afraid......

Sansan made way for the other party, looking intently and whispering.

looks like a vicious underworld, but in fact, when he speaks, it is just the tone of an ordinary office worker, so there should be no problem.

He knows very well that people should not be disguised.

Whispering didn't care about Sansan's gaze, and he glared at Mr. Dan fiercely.

The latter is like a mouse seeing a cat, a pickpocket seeing a policeman, and a cheating junior seeing a private detective, extremely shocked.

"Why, why do you know I'm ...... here?"

"Hehe, in order to prevent you from escaping, I set your phone to GPS tracking mode during the last meeting." Whispered lightly to explain to the panicked Dan Zong.

Dan always opened his mouth wide: "What?!" You're messing with my phone? This is a crime! ”

"If it's for easy publishing, then even if it's a crime – that's what an editor does."

"You're so excited about Matsuzaka sugar, right?" The egg always wipes sweat and complains.

Whispering ignored him, and continued to say in a gloomy voice: "And, don't you know? As long as it is not discovered by Jing Cha, it is not a crime. ”

"I'm going to call the police, really." The egg always wants to cry without tears.

Looking at the way these two people get along, Sansan also feels that this editor is a bit too much...... Or is this an alternative manifestation of the friendship between light writers and light editors?

An author and an editor will meet again.

Now that the matter has been revealed, the egg always simply breaks the jar and falls.

"You're good at finding this place...... Unfortunately, I'm only halfway through the original manuscript of the fifth volume of "Listen to Daddy"! ”

"Today is the deadline, and it is impossible to write half a volume in a day, so ...... You know what I mean, right? ”

Prime Minister Egg is not straightforward and strong, so he simply exposes himself and acts as hob meat.

The whispering eyes narrowed into a line.

"So...... Are you brave? ”

"Please! I'm super brave! ”

Smack——!

Whispering grabbed Mr. Egg's hand.

"Hey! What are you doing? ”

"Since I haven't finished writing it yet, I'll force you to write it, and come with me."

With his other hand, he packed the computer luggage for Mr. Dan with a sensitive movement, and with a calm face in a whisper, he escorted Mr. Dan as if he was controlling a prisoner.

"You, where do you want to take me?" Egg always panicked, "Should it be...... Are you going to take me to retreat? ”

"That's right."

The whispered and calm answer made fear appear on Mr. Dan's face.

"It's a hotel retreat under the Lightning Strike Library, right? I was also there last time ......"

"Don't be stupid, how can an ordinary retreat teach you a lesson in dealing with repeat offenders like you? This time, we're going to the small dark house in the basement of the Lightning Strike Library. Whispering sneered.

The small dark room of the lightning strike library.

This is not a joke, but a real retreat prison.

The biggest nightmare for procrastinating authors.

Egg had the privilege of witnessing that room two years ago.

- Pure white walls, a small room with only a toilet and a bed, and a table and chair for the writer to work on.

And an old computer from ten years ago, there is no network, and there is nothing but typing and minesweeping.

So at this moment, when I heard the words of the little black house, I couldn't help but awaken the dusty black memories in Mr. Dan's heart again, as well as ...... The horror of witnessing other authors being dominated by a little dark room.

He couldn't help but let out a mournful cry:

"Ahhh I don't want to be locked up in a little dark room alone! Help, Sansan! We're friends, aren't we? ”

"......" Sansan shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't help.

Dan always continued to struggle indiscriminately: "Ahhh You demon editor! Even if my body would surrender to you...... But my heart will never waver! ”

"I don't care if you don't move in your heart, as long as you can get me out of the draft."

As if carrying a chicken, he whispered calmly with one hand to control the struggling egg.

Although he is not tall, not short, not fat, not thin, but his body is very strong.

Usually too lazy to exercise, the weak can't help the wind of the dead house egg, there is no power to fight back.

Just as Whispering dragged the egg and was about to leave, he suddenly turned to face Sansan.

"Sir, are you ...... Egg Total Friend? ”

"It's kind of ......"

Sansan nodded, "Although I don't want to admit this embarrassing fact." ”

Seeing Sansan say the lines that only a very good friend would say, he whispered with an interested expression, took out his business card from his pocket and said:

"It's my phone number...... Mr. Dan may still do stupid things like dragging the manuscript and running away in the future, so please be sure to contact me as soon as possible. ”

Hand over the business card to Sansan, whispering and scratching his cheek with his free hand.

"If the publication doesn't go smoothly...... As editors, it's going to be hard for us to do that. ”

"Okay."

Sansan stared at Mr. Dan sympathetically for a while, and then nodded in agreement.

"I'll pay for the use of the box, you can stay here and enjoy it slowly."

"There's no need for this, if you're alone, you're really not in the mood to sing......"

"That's good."

Whispering turned around, pulling aside and shouting "Let go of me!" Help me! The struggling egg always left the box.

Sansan, who watched the farce end, also quickly put away his business card and left the scene.

After finding time, he called Su Chen again and briefly relayed the program that happened in the morning.

Su Chen on the other end of the phone was surprised: "You said that Dan was always chased to karaoke by his editor-in-charge and arrested, and then dragged away?" ”

"yes, that guy screamed miserably."

"Did you take a picture?"

"Huh? What the? Three-three-one stunned.

"Photos! A photo of miserable eggs always struggling in the box! You wouldn't have missed a shot, would you? Su Chen's tone sounded a little regretful.

"Ah, Chairman Su, what kind of bad taste are you......"

"Haha, no kidding......" Su Chen smiled.

"I'll call the Lightning Strike Library and ask, if there is still time before the death line of the egg boss, I will redeem him first, if there is no time, forget it, let him work hard in the little black house-"

"I'm sorry for you, Chairman."

"You're welcome, also, let's change the title, there's no need for friends to see each other like this."

Sansan replied in a stick reading tone: "Okay, big chairman, I know the big chairman!" ”

Su Chen: "......"

And said he had a bad taste or something......

Sansan, your own bad taste is not small.

After lunch.

Su Chen, who took time out, called unhurriedly and chatted with the boss of the Lightning Strike Library.

learned from the other party that the real death line of Mr. Dan is actually half a month.

In other words, the worst situation is that the manuscript will be delivered in March, and if it is delayed any further, it will be a real hardcore dead line, and even if Su Chen comes forward, he will not be able to catch up with the progress of the publishing industry.

When he learned this information, he was relieved.

60,000 words in half a month...... For Mr. Egg, if he doesn't delay, it must be easy and a piece of cake.

But considering the problem of affection, it doesn't seem good to just go in and redeem the other party......

Let the eggs in the little black house always work seriously for a while under the addition of the environment, and then let the other party come out at three o'clock in the afternoon to participate in the party, and neither of them will be delayed.

Thereupon.

After Su Chen made such a decision.

Mr. Dan, who was imprisoned in the small black room, had to code words for a full six hours before he was liberated.

When he came out early, he almost burst into tears.

It's a wonderful world out there.

It's a Sbarassi thing to be alive.

It only took ten minutes to walk from the publishing house to the apartment, and even though the scenery along the way was familiar, it could be seen that everything was so brilliant in the eyes of Mr. Dan, who had just come out of the small dark room.

After a long day's absence, in the evening, when he finally saw Sansan's familiar face again at the party, Mr. Dan let out a big sigh.

"Three-three-——!"

He affectionately gave Sansan a bear hug.

"You must have helped me inform Su Chen, right? It must be, right? ”

“…… I knew the love between us wasn't gone! ”

Sansan pushed the egg open, and his eyelids couldn't stop beating: "Don't get me wrong, just to gather people, Chairman Su said, if necessary, the lightning strike library can also invite you to sit in the small black house the next day." ”

Mr. Dan: "......"

I always feel that the meaning of this wine game has become heavy.

After eating and drinking, he went into the small dark house the next day......

What is this?

The Last Supper?

"Forget it, the little black house is a little black house......

Dan always looked depressed.

But to be honest, sitting here, having a long-lost party with a few old friends, no matter how tense his situation is, he is still very happy.

After a few minutes, Bai Yu and Styx also arrived at the meeting place.

After the two walked into the private room, they took out the Valentine's Day gifts that had been prepared long ago.

"We've got Valentine's Day beer for you."

Bai Yu took out several black wine bottles and handed them to the two of them.

Egg always fiddled curiously: "There's chocolate in it?" ”

"No, it's just the flavor of roasted malt into chocolate, which is dark beer...... Great for Valentine's Day gifts. ”

The four of them chatted leisurely while waiting for the last guest.

chatting and chatting, Su Chen soon arrived.

"We had a great time."

He came in with a paper bag.

"Wow! Long wait, great benefactor! ”

The egg is always active like a loose husky, happily welcoming Su Chen's arrival.

"...... this?" He took the paper bag that Su Chen was carrying.

"The Lightning Strike Library handed over to me, the chocolates for Valentine's Day, the reader gave to the popular light family - an egg."

When the heavy paper bag was opened, there were so many chocolates in it that there was no way to count them, and many of them also came with fan letters.

When Mr. Egg saw it, he immediately showed off with a terrible attitude of a locomotive, happy like a corgi.

Makes everyone's cheeks twitch frequently.

Anyway......

After the five members of the troublemaking team gathered, the banquet was officially unveiled.

Today, four years later, the relationship is still good, and the few people who have been in close contact with each other all show a smile from the heart.

The laughing egg is always good at sarcastically the former's three threes, the white feather who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and the dark and quiet with full personality.

Wine glasses collide above a table full of delicacies......

"Brothers! Happy Valentine's Day! ”

- May our friendship last forever.
