017 [Unconventional Contact]
The night was deep.
In Luoshui, there is no decent nightlife, and after ten o'clock, it is difficult to see people wandering around the street. Patrol officers are also active during this time, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., with a curfew in place to keep the streets clear. But it's not as thorough as the ban, and some businesses and employees can apply for nighttime activity permits. This policy is mainly aimed at those who live at the bottom of the social ladder and those who are marginalized in the gray industry, preventing them from doing things in crowded public places. Behind the prosperity of Luoshui, there is also a violent and criminal side. The so-called curfew, the job of the patrol police, to put it bluntly, is to isolate these two worlds.
In the depths of the alleys, under bridges, and other dimly lit corners, it is not uncommon to see large groups of blacks gathering together to smoke and talk, and these places are, to some extent, places of acquiescence at night. But those who don't belong to that circle can't fit in, and they will be scared away by the fierce eyes of those people.
After work, adults will watch TV programs and listen to music at home, and if they are really bored, they will go to the park for a stroll, play ball or something, and go home before 10 o'clock to go to bed. As for students, most of them choose to read novels and anime on mystery websites, or write homework and watch TV with their parents. The level of science and technology is not bad, and many advanced achievements will be displayed in Luoshui first, but people's lives are always a little monotonous and lack of vitality.
Eleven.
Pepe got off the live broadcast on time, shouting about back pain, and asked Shi Shi to pinch her shoulder.
Originally, this work had always been done by Ye Cai, but Ye Cai couldn't spare it now. Since the eighth young master officially released the book, she has been completely busy, and the live broadcast has also been thrown to Pepe, claiming that the novel is the main front.
In fact, Ah Ba's book did not have much impact on the book review area of "Sword Pointing to the Sky", and dozens of Ah Ba fans left messages in a day, and it was difficult to find them among thousands of comments. Ye Cai was mainly busy mobilizing the people in the group to go to the book review area of "The Sixth Knife" to bring the rhythm, and the author Ma Jia directly said that these words were inappropriate, she opened three accounts, and asked Shi Shi and Pepe's mobile phones to come over. At the same time, he plays the triple identity of "innocent author", "uneven administrator" and "iron fan who is bent on spraying", constantly switching things and sweating.
Shi Shi has always been reluctant to do this kind of work, she is a bit like Yun's mother, she is an easy-going and lazy character. When Pepe was live broadcasting, she watched TV shows on the Internet, probably in the process of reading "Alone in the World", she had some thoughts, and found some videos related to future technology, parthenogenesis, the possibility of space bridges, etc., and watched it very devotedly.
Pepe has the habit of eating supper, hungry fast, class, code words, live broadcast or something, the daily routine is also set, supper Yun's mother will cook for them at half past ten, and go directly to eat hot after the broadcast.
"Don't talk nonsense, in the group."
I don't know what kind of brain circuit it is, and I take the initiative to attack others, but I make my mood worse. When Ye Cai returned the phone to Pei Pei and Shi Shi, he rolled his eyes, probably a little unhappy with their attitude of sitting idly by. She is now spending all her thoughts on this, wearing the original author's vest, selling pity in the group, and turning around to encourage book friends to vent her anger.
Supper is boiled noodles, very simple, but the taste is very good, Pepe doesn't play with his mobile phone anymore, three or two bites even the soup with noodles under the stomach. After a while, she had to change the text, and at night she was nervously excited, just to code words. The task is relatively heavy in these two days.
Mother Yun sat opposite and watched the children eat, looking intoxicated by the tranquility of this moment. Supporting her cheeks, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she looks like a sick idiot, and she almost adds a little blood to her eyes. Seeing that Ye Cai forgot to stuff the noodles in her mouth when she looked at her phone, and she was not angry, when Ye Cai reacted, she gently raised her chin and signaled her to eat quickly.
Shi Shi was the second to finish eating, she ate, not fast or slow, but she paid too much attention to the image, stroked her hair, took a small sip, and kept the noodle soup without drinking. Pepe handed her a tissue, sat down to eat, and saw that Ye Cai was still looking through the chat group information, so he urged her to eat quickly.
Yun's mother asked Pepe, "After we leave...... Have your parents ever been back? ”
Pepe shook her head, "I left at three o'clock in the afternoon, and her father never came back...... Emergency doctors, very rarely. ”
The tone of this speech, as if she was saying something commonplace, Mother Yun glanced at her with strange eyes, didn't mention this, got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and sighed as if chanting: "You too...... Without saying hello to us, he invited the girl to his house...... The one named Yuan Yuan, is he still in contact? ”
"What's that...... Of course I'm in contact, am I still done playing and turning my face and not recognizing people? ”
"Devil's Head ......"
Pepe knew what Yun's mother was worried about, and she didn't want to talk about it. She also doesn't know what to do in the future.
Make more money? The family is already very rich, what else is missing? Influence? Fame? What are the magical items that are rewarded in the system?
Probably neither.
She just lacked courage. Lack of that desperate belief.
It is one yard that the material conditions can be satisfied, and it is another yard whether people accept it or not, and whether the other party's family can accept it or not, and how troublesome it is, is enough to disturb it. What's more, she is making out with girls, and it seems that she is just paralyzing herself......
In fact, she has never been in a decent relationship, and she doesn't know what it is called? "Love".
Now that it's like this, I just think it's fun, and I just have this need and urge in my body, and I don't dare to think deep in my head.
It's sad to talk about this......
On the stairs, Ye Cai trotted to her side, looked at her phone and told her in surprise, "Ah Ba found the group." ”
The screen of the mobile phone is displaying the temporary session page of DuDu.
A group of friends with a cartoon facial paralysis man's avatar chatted with Ye Cai about "Hello sister" and "Is it convenient" or something, and finally sent a screenshot.
The blue and white simple page design, Pepe recognized at a glance that this was the author's background, and the work shown in the picture was "The Sixth Knife"?
Collect3752......
ISBN: 105716
Pepe looked at Ye Cai, and Ye Cai also looked at her like this, wanting to get an answer from the other party.
“…… What's this? ”
"I wonder too......"
"Myself?"
"I guess so."
“……”
As soon as Pepe's head twitched, people were much brighter, and the two soft girls ran upstairs quickly, sat down on the sofa, Pepe grabbed Ye Cai's mobile phone, and looked through her chat history with Ah Ba.
……
- "Sister, I'm Ah Ba. I've always admired you, really. No lies. ”
- "What are you going to do?" ”
- "In this way, I have a fan base in physical publishing, and the topic has been relatively high recently. And you, who happen to be the hottest writer in the online literature industry, this time I released a new book, and we had a little misunderstanding, and we are talking about it on the Internet...... I thought about it, I can take this opportunity to increase the exposure of our works, just like netizens said. Of course, I'm more interested in learning from you......"
- "Did you drink makeup remover?" ”
Then Ah Ba sent a screenshot of the author's background.
Pepe looked at Ye Cai, Ye Cai also looked at her like this, this is the second time, and the two soft girls still don't believe that this is true.
Gotta make sure.
On DuDu, behind the screenshot, Ye Cai never returned to his home. Ah Ba sent it twice, "Is it still there?" I didn't say anything.
Pepe sent a message: "Ah Ba? ”
After about three or five seconds, he replied: "Yes, I, Eighth Young Master." Hello sister. ”
Pepe: "Hello. ”
Haba: "Cooperation?" ”
Pepe: "How do you cooperate?" ”
Ba: "...... Stir up the topic. ”
Pepe: "What if things get out of hand?" ”
Ba: "No, unless you don't know which is more important, because this will affect the quality of your creation." ”
Pepe looked at Ye Cai, and Ye Cai nodded at her with a serious face.
Pepe replied, "Okay." ”
