Chapter Ninety-Nine: Being an Internet Writer
The vibrating sound of the mobile phone on the table interrupted Yu Weisheng's memories, he walked over and turned on the phone, and a concise text message jumped out, "Mom is here." Then another one popped up, "Yours." "
Yu Weisheng dialed the number, and there was a little noise on the other end of the phone, "Where is it?" "
"Market groceries, wait. Zero Zilu covered the microphone and said to the person next to him, "Is so much enough for three people to eat?" "
"Little girl, buy vegetables for the first time, these dishes are enough for five people, so you can return some vegetables to me." The vegetable seller looked at the deer with a smile.
A flush flashed across Zero's face, "Thank you then." "
"It's okay, it's okay, just come and take care of Auntie's business often in the future. "
A smile appeared at the corner of Yu Weisheng's mouth on the other side of the phone, "Why are you cooking at home?" "
"I can't let my mom think that the two of us are not at home. Zero's voice returned to its usual calm.
Yu Weisheng paused, "When this time is over, let's go on our honeymoon." "
Zero Zilu's hand holding the phone tightened, "Okay." Anyway, I'm going home. "
She and Yu Weisheng met on a blind date, met three times in a month, and then got married.
About a week after the blind date, Xiao Yi asked her to meet at the magazine, saying that there was something to discuss, so she casually put on a coat and went out.
"How's it going? Xiao Yat poured her a glass of water.
The corners of Zero Deer's mouth curved, "You don't need to greet you like this, just say something if you have something." "
"I care about your current situation for Yuanyuan. After saying that, Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile, Yuanyuan and Lingzilu have to meet at least twice a week, and they are in touch every day, "Actually, that's the case, we have received feedback from many readers recently, and they want you to hold a signing meeting." "
Ling Zilu put down the cup in her hand, the water in the cup rippled, she raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Yi, "What I said two years ago will not change." "
Xiao Yi looked at the good face of Ling Zi Lujiao, and thought that at that time, when Yuan Yuan said that he would introduce him to a quasi-fire author, he still didn't believe it, but for Yuan Yuan's sake, he helped her get on the magazine, but he didn't expect that the magazine that had been selling mediocre magazines became popular because of her novels, and then became the No. 1 selling magazine in the magazine club, and since then she has become the resident author of that magazine, and that magazine is "Suddenly", and then he knew that this Seven Joys was Yuanyuan's friend in City C.
He smiled helplessly, "When I told Yuanyuan last night, she said that you won't change your original intention, forget it, although you show up, we should benefit more from each other, but from the position of a friend, I respect your own wishes, and if there is such a request in the future, I will ignore it." "
Zero Zilu's eyes showed a sincere smile, and it happened that there was a knock on the door at this time, and the little assistant looked at Zero Deer, then looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Editor-in-chief, Mr. Yu is here." "
Xiao Yi nodded, "Please let him in." The assistant closed the door and looked at Zero Deer again.
"Then I'll go first, and we'll have dinner together another day. Zero Deer stood up as he spoke.
"Okay, then let's do this first, be careful on the road. Xiao Yi stood up and helped Ling Zilu open the office door.
As soon as he went out here, a slender figure walked over, "It turns out that the guest in your office is Miss Zero," Yu Weisheng looked at Zero Zilu, "We met again." "
Xiao Yi immediately walked over, "Zero Zilu, this is Yu Weisheng, the one you mistook last time in Yuanyuan's café." "
Yu Weisheng raised his eyebrows, last time they had a blind date, and after the misunderstanding was resolved, they knew each other, and Xiao Yi introduced it as if they met for the first time.
Ling Zilu said politely, "Mr. Yu, you talk slowly, I'll go first." Zero Deer's back was straight, and there was no trace of nostalgia in her back.
It wasn't until the back could no longer be seen that Yu Weisheng followed Xiao Yi into the office, "Xiao Yi, is my face too unpleasant?" So much so that she didn't even want to say a superfluous word to me? "
Xiao Yi shook his head and said with a smile, "Why do you have time to come here today?" "
When Lingzilu came home, Yu Weisheng's mother was sitting on the sofa, her face was a little unpleasant, Lingzilu put down the bag in her hand, poured a glass of water, and walked to her side and sat down, "Mom, what's wrong?" "
Mother Yu looked at Zero Zilu, she was originally a little depressed, but calmed down slightly, "Zero Zero, did you quarrel with Tail Sheng?" You tell Mom honestly. "
Zero Zilu shook his head, "Mom, we didn't quarrel. "
Mother Yu looked at Lingzilu's expression as if she was lying, "Then how do you sleep in separate rooms?" Mom didn't mean to probe on your privacy, but I bought a tie for Oyu, and I just wanted to put it in your closet, but when I opened it, I found that it was full of Oyu's clothes, none of yours, Zero, Zero, your pajamas are in the next room. "
Ling Zilu was stunned, and said slowly, "Osheng has been busy with work recently, I have been on period these days, and I often go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, for fear of waking up Oyu, so I discussed with Osheng, and I will sleep in the next room first." "
Mother Yu nodded, and her complexion improved, "It's good that you don't quarrel, you young people must spread out and say something if you have something to say, don't take it to heart." "
Zero Zilu showed a hint of a smile, "Well, Mom, I'll go cook first, and in a while, Oyoi should come back too." "
"Mom will help you. Yu's mother also stood up as she spoke.
"No, Mom, I'll be fine for a while, you can watch TV here for a while. Zero Deer took the food and went to the kitchen.
Lingzilu washed the pork ribs she bought, thought about her father's usual cooking steps, and got busy in the kitchen.
"Mom, I'm back. Yu Weisheng changed into a pair of home shoes, put down his bag, and prepared to go to the kitchen to see Zero Deer.
"Osheng, come here, Mom has something to tell you. Yu's mother patted the seat next to her and motioned for Yu Weisheng to come over.
"Osheng, you haven't known Zero Zero for a long time, it can even be said to be very short, at that time Mom thought you were going to get married because you loved each other, but now it seems that there are still a lot of places to know between you, just now Mom asked Zero Zero, why do you sleep in separate rooms, Zero Zero said that she was on her period, and she was afraid of waking you up in the middle of the night. Mom knows that Zero Zero must not be telling the truth, Mom doesn't want to be mixed up between you, Mom only hopes that since you have chosen the path of marriage, then manage the marriage well. "
Speaking of this, Yu's mother looked at the kitchen, the figure who was busy in the glass door, and continued, "Zero, this kid* is quiet, you still have a lot of roads to go in the future, whether the road is flat or rugged, it's all up to the two of you, maybe more in you, Osheng, do you understand what Mom said?" "
Yu Weisheng's private affairs, Yu's mother basically didn't ask, and now that she said such a paragraph, Yu Weisheng's already not calm heart also had a trace of waves, he nodded, "I know, I'll go see her." "
The glass door of the kitchen opened, and Zero Deer looked back and saw Yu Weisheng standing by the door, "It'll be fine soon." "
Yu Weisheng watched Lingzilu stir-fry the vegetables in an orderly manner, and suddenly felt a little more stable in his heart, as if life should be like this. They have been married for two months, but they have never cooked a meal at home, when Ling Zilu is alone, most of them eat fast food outside, and when he has no entertainment at night, the two of them also eat out, and occasionally go to Xiao Yi's house to eat.
"It looks so skillful, I can smell the food. Yu Weisheng took out the dishes and chopsticks from the cabinet next to him and washed them with hot water.
Ling Zilu thought for a while, "Maybe in the future, Xiao Yi's magazine will go out of business, and I can become a chef." "
Yu Weisheng first glanced at Zero Deer in surprise, and then let out a series of laughs, from the first time they met to now, almost five months, it was the first time he heard Zero Deer also joke. The corners of Zero Zilu's mouth raised a good-looking arc, Yu Weisheng's eyes were slightly deep, she had such a sincere smile, he had rarely seen it, and the corners of her mouth on the wedding day were all that kind of faint and polite smile.
He couldn't deny that for such a woman, he was moved, maybe not deeply, but enough to be the reason why he wanted to start this relationship with her seriously.
And Yu's mother in the living room heard her son's cheerful smile in the kitchen, and her heart finally let go. For dinner, the three of them ate very harmoniously, Yu's mother was full of praise for the cooking skills of Lingzilu, Yu Weisheng looked at Lingzilu's slightly shy expression, and only felt that today's dinner was unusually appetizing.
The only thing that made Ling Zilu distressed was that Yu's mother said that she lived here today, and she could only move to the second bedroom to take underwear and pajamas and take a bath, and then went back to the master bedroom slowly, but fortunately Yu Weisheng was dealing with some things in the study at this time and was not in the bedroom.
Zero Zilu scratched her head, lifted the corner of the quilt, and shrank into a small corner, the room was unfamiliar, and her thoughts drifted to the day of the wedding.
She and Yu Weisheng got married in a hurry, and the wedding photos were taken with the help of his friend, and they got it in only ten days, but they didn't want to extravagant weddings, which were still a little beyond Ling Zilu's expectations.
At that wedding, it was not only Yu Weisheng's friends or the senior executives of his company that came, but also his father's friends, who were basically officers of no low rank. Zero's father is a teacher, and Zero's mother is the human resources director of a private company, and the usual contact is not a school teacher, or a company employee.
She only remembered that her parents were slightly stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal, and her mother said at the time, "Zero, I just hope you won't regret it in the future." ”
In the evening, after everyone dispersed, only Yu Weisheng and her were left in this new house, Yu Weisheng was poured a lot of wine, and his mind was not very clear, Ling Zilu helped him back to the master bedroom, took off his coat for him, covered the quilt, and went to remove his makeup and take a bath.
She had already fallen asleep in the second bedroom, when she suddenly heard a sound outside, so she got out of bed and opened the door.
The moment he closed the door, there was a trace of waves on Zero Zilu's calm face, and she looked at the door for a long time.
Zero Zilu is in City B, alone, except for Zhan Yuan and his wife, she has no other friends, she doesn't feel lonely, she cleans and cleans every day, and then types in front of the computer, look at the messages that readers give her, she likes to interact with readers in Weibo, do yoga when she is tired, go to the fast food restaurant downstairs when she is hungry, even if she is alone, she rarely eats instant noodles and other fast food.
Counting her life is still relatively regular, plain but calm, but when she dreams back at midnight, she wakes up and feels the dampness and heat on her face.
Her mother was not very relieved, so she arranged a blind date for her again.
"Zero, this young man this time is the son of your uncle's friend, a civil servant, who also happens to work in City B, and he is also honest, and the conditions of our family are also comparable, see you again." She listened to her mother's voice, and her nose was a little sour.
"Okay." If it's suitable, she wants to get married.
She painted a light makeup to make her already beautiful face even brighter, and the man opposite was indeed honest as her mother said, but his personality was arrogant and old-fashioned.
"What does Miss Zero do?"
"Just an ordinary web writer."
A hint of disdain flashed in Mr. Wang's eyes, "Miss Zero, I hope that after you marry me, you can find a new job, after all, writing novels is not a legitimate job, and you can't make any money." When the time comes, I will ask my family to introduce you to my unit, and I will keep an eye on you all the time. ”
In his eyes, an online writer is to publish articles on the Internet or something, as for publishing or others, he actually doesn't know anything, anyway, he doesn't think it's a good job.
The corners of Ling Zilu's mouth hooked up a vague smile, "Mr. Wang, first, please don't question my work, and second, I don't quite understand what you mean by looking at me, spying on me?" ”
"Miss Zero, now that the world is declining, you also know that you are beautiful and let you work in another company, I am afraid that you will always be worried about your unspoken rules. So naturally, I feel at ease when it's under my nose. ”
Mr. Wang paused, "And I don't think Miss Zero is wearing a bargain from top to bottom, so it costs a lot of money for that bag." Although our family conditions are good, we don't like luxury and waste, and I hope that after getting married, Miss Zero will change her taste. ”
Lingzilu usually doesn't like to talk, and at the moment she doesn't even have the desire to speak, she took out a hundred yuan from her bag and called the waiter to pay.
Mr. Wang on the opposite side smiled on his old-fashioned face, "Miss Zero, I am very satisfied with you, we can get married, but I will take care of the property after marriage." ”
"Mr. Wang, I'm not satisfied with you, so I'll stop here."
"Miss Zero, what do you mean by that? We originally came on a blind date with the purpose of getting married, and we had a good chat before, why don't you say you want to do it now? Mr. Wang grabbed Lingzilu's arm, and every word was an accusation.
Zero Zilu's brows furrowed, a look of disgust flashed on his face, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw the hand on his arm being raised.
"Who are you? Let me go. Mr. Wang looked at the man who suddenly appeared angrily.
"Don't you see that people don't want to, do you want me to send you to the police station?" The man said coldly.
"This is my business with her, what does it have to do with you, you let go."
"She's the one I admire, do you think she'll choose you or me?" The man let go of his hand, "Arrogance, it also depends on whether you have the conditions for arrogance." Zero deer, let's go. ”
The man took Lingzilu's hand and walked out the door, and Mr. Wang said angrily, "Lingzilu, I see how you explain to your uncle!" I have a boyfriend and come on a blind date! ”
Zero Zilu stopped and turned to look at the somewhat ugly figure, "Do you think they will believe you, or me?" She grabbed the man beside her and walked out without stopping.
"Thank you just now." Zero Zilu let go of the man's hand and said to him.
"You're welcome, it's an acquaintance."
Zero Deer's brows furrowed, "Have we met?" She pursed her lips when she saw the man's handsome face with undisguised surprise, "Maybe we met, but I really don't remember." ”
"The first time in Zhan Yuan's coffee shop, the second time in Xiao Yi's magazine, Lingzilu, I am Yu Weisheng."
Ling Zilu had some contradictions in her heart, she stood there and didn't know what to say, if it was someone else, then she could leave without hesitation, but Yu Weisheng, he was Zhan Yuan's friend of them.
"There's a coffee shop in front of you, if you have time, let's talk?" Yu Weisheng's face was inquiring, and Zero Zilu nodded.
The two of them picked a seat by the window and sat down, Ling Zilu's gaze stayed on the person opposite, his appearance was impeccable, and his temperament was outstanding, but even if they met a few times, she still didn't remember.
"Zero deer, do you have face blindness?" The reason why she asked this question was not only because of her performance just now, but also because of her indifference in Xiao Yat Magazine last time, and Xiao Yat's general introduction.
He guessed that Zero Deer had facial amnesia, and he would forget it when he saw it.
Ling Zilu grabbed the hand of the cup, tightened, she picked up the cup in front of her, drank a sip of water, the cup covered the look in her eyes, and when she put it down, her face changed back to indifference, "Mr. Yu, even if we meet twice, we are not friends, so this is my private matter, please don't ask." ”
Yu Weisheng looked at the Lingzi deer suddenly like a hedgehog covered with thorns, and only after a while did he speak, "If you want to get married, why don't we get married together." ”
Ling Zilu's gaze returned to him, and there was a slight puzzle in his eyes, "Mr. Yu, I don't understand." ”
"I remember the first time we met, you were on a blind date, I am Chinese New Year's Eve two years now, three years older than you, it is better to marry me than to go on a blind date with a man who is not good-looking and arrogant. Yu Weisheng paused, "I'm not a cardamom young man, and I won't say these things to you on the spur of the moment. Zero deer, I'm serious. "
Ling Zilu looked at him, his eyes were a little confused, "Why me?" You're not afraid that the next time I meet you, or won't you be recognized? Mr. Yu, not only may I not remember you, but I will also be unable to remember your relatives and friends. Don't you mind if your wife is such a person? "
"If you can't remember once, then twice, three times, until you remember me, as for others, the future is long, and important people will always let you remember. Yu Weisheng's expression was faint, but his voice was extremely firm, "Why is it you, I think it's probably fate." "
Yu Weisheng looked at the Lingzilu who was thinking on the other side, why it was her, in fact, he didn't know, he just felt that if she had to get married, then that person was only suitable for him.
When he said these words, he felt that the big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, but he was nervously waiting for her answer.
"Good. That afternoon, Ling Zilu and Yu Weisheng, who had only met three times, were ready to get married.
Ling Zilu didn't expect that the fourth time they met, she actually recognized the figure at a glance in the crowd, and in that group of people, only he was in her eyes. She couldn't express the shock in her heart at the time, maybe because he was the first to point out that she had face blindness, Zero Zilu told herself.
Everything went well, they had known each other for a month, and the wedding took place two months later.
It was also at that time that Yu Weisheng knew that Zero Zilu's face blindness was targeted, and she could clearly remember the faces of the elderly, children, and women, while she couldn't remember the appearance of others.
Xiao Yi said, "Osheng, did you drug Lingzilu, I spent two months in front of her every day, and then set the photos of me and Yuanyuan into her computer desktop, and she remembered me." How did you see her a few times so she could remember exactly what you looked like? "
Yu Weisheng looked at him with contempt, "Naturally, it's because I'm better than you." Hearing Xiao Yi's words, his heart was pleasantly surprised, he knew how embarrassing face blindness was, even if it was a mild one like Zero Deer, it usually took several months, and he could only remember it when he saw that person often, but Zero Zilu remembered him in this short time.
Yu Weisheng looked at the Lingzi deer leaning on his shoulder, and printed a kiss on her forehead, because those executives are from his company, so she is afraid that she will not recognize them and be embarrassed, and it is more likely that people will think that she is tall and has no one in her eyes, Zero Zero, even if you protect yourself so well, but I, is it also a little bit to your heart.
"Zero, I'll take you back. Yu Weisheng hugged the deer.
"Somebody is watching. "
"We care about what others do, and we are happy. "
Zero Zilu bit his lip and buried his head in Yu Weisheng's arms, "Weisheng, then you carry me and run back." "
"Okay, hold it tight. Saying that, Yu Weisheng ran on the beach with the Lingzi Deer in his arms, because of the long-term exercise and the relatively light weight of the Lingzi Deer, he didn't feel too tired when he carried the Lingzi Deer to the hotel.
Zero Deer jumped out of his arms and filled the bathtub with water, Yu Weisheng was watching her every move with a smile in his eyes, she has always been like this, when she is shy, she will change the subject or find something else to do.
Ling Zilu took out a change of clothes from the box, and Yu Guang glanced at Yu Weisheng, who was sitting there leisurely, and struggled for a moment before saying, "Do you want to be together?" As soon as he finished speaking, his face was already crimson.
Yu Weisheng's smile suddenly condensed on his face, and he was stunned, "Zero, what did you say?" "
Lingzilu glanced back at him, and when he saw his somewhat incredulous expression, his heart softened, "I invite you to take a bath with me." "
The woman in front of him, every move, is all affecting his emotions, he thinks, this is probably love, at the age of thirty-one, when he first met Zero Deer, maybe he was destined to fall in love with her.
In his eyes, there is undisguised love, such a gaze, Ling Zilu is familiar, and the past she didn't want to recall would look at her with the same eyes.
Ling Zilu looked at Yu Weisheng's face, her expression was a little ethereal, and it was not until a pain in her chest that she pulled back her thoughts.
Yu Weisheng, in the past 20 years or so, you are the first person I have only met three times, and when you can meet for the fourth time, you can recognize it at a glance in the crowd, not by listening to the voice, not by your clothes or temperament, not by the smell, but by really recognizing that face.
Yu Weisheng, it turns out that the feelings are really uncontrollable, no matter how I hold on, but you still step in.
A week on the island, no work, no meetings, waking up every morning to the kiss of Yu Ao, and ending the day every night with Yu Aosheng's overwhelming victory.
Zero Deer has left behind the shackles of the past, and if she hadn't met this person in her life, then her life would have been lonely and uneventful. But now that she had met, and this man he loved her and gave her a warm but peaceful life, she thought, even if fate played tricks on her again, she would admit it.
Yu Weisheng clearly felt the changes in Zero Deer, she was not always in a calm daze or looking into the distance like before.
"Zero, when we are old, we will come here to settle down, be accompanied by the sea, and sleep with the white sand. "
The corners of the eyes of the deer are crooked, "The sea is the companion, and the white sand sleeps together." Aoi, are you sure? "
Yu Weisheng paused, he said this casually, thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be very good. He pinched Zero Deer's nose, "It's always together." "
It's all together, who would have thought that just because of this sentence, Zero Zilu completely opened his heart to Yu Weisheng.
On the return plane, Yu Weisheng had just fastened his seat belt for Lingzilu, and a figure sat down next to Yu Weisheng, but he was wearing a hat and sunglasses, his head was tilted outward, and he didn't say a word.
"Osho, let's go back to City C next month. "Zero Zilu's voice seems to say, "Let's go home."
Yu Weisheng looked at the Zero Deer, the corners of his mouth lifted a big arc, and he kissed the Zero Deer's forehead, "Okay, I'll go back next month." From the time she decided to get married, she never let him go to City C, and she called her parents about their marriage, and her parents came from City C to meet his parents, and then finalized the date of the wedding.
He asked her what she thought about the wedding, and she only said that the wedding could only be held in City B, and when the guest list was finally counted, she was there only her parents. As for the bridesmaids, they were Zhan Yuan's cousins who were temporarily found.
His instincts told him that all of her past was in City C, memories she couldn't touch but didn't want to touch, and now, the door of her heart finally stopped keeping him away.
The big boy on the side finally took off his sunglasses and hat, "So you are also from City C?" Hey, fellow. "
Yu Weisheng raised his eyebrows, "Anyway, it's a long road, do you want me to explain human anatomy to you in detail." "
Sure enough, the boy who was still in good spirits just now immediately turned his head away, he was really cheap, no matter how boring he was, he couldn't chat with the man next to him, it was too terrifying.
"Is it the one who sat next to me when he came? "
"Do you remember? A hint of surprise crossed Yu Weisheng's eyes.
Zero Zilu shook his head, "I just remember that you talked to the man next to you about this at the time. "
Yu Weisheng smiled, "Who asked him to talk to my wife?" "
Zero Zilu glared at him, "However, how do you understand philosophy and human anatomy so thoroughly?" "
"When I was majoring in economics in college, I happened to have a former medical school student in my dormitory, and when I had nothing to do, I flipped through his books. Yu Weisheng paused, "There are people in the dormitory next door who like to study philosophy, and often like to publicize loudly at the door of the dormitory. ”
Lingzilu was silent, when someone is bored, will they find medical books to pass the time, and when someone is annoyed, will they go to read more nerve-wracking things like philosophy.
The big boy next to him moved slightly, is this man a freak, so he flipped over, and he turned it over even more powerful than other professionals, okay! It's lonely enough to travel alone, but I don't have an affair, and I meet a guy who has nothing to talk about.
After returning to City B, Yu Weisheng began to be busy again, and the delivery date of Lingzilu also arrived, one was busy in the company and the other was busy at home.
"Zero, isn't the island beautiful! Come out and see you tomorrow! I haven't seen you for many days, and you don't want to be a homemaker. Ling Zilu smiled and read Zhan Yuan's text message.
"Okay, it's just time that the manuscript has just been written, and I'll look for you in your store tomorrow."
"Gift !!"
As soon as Zero Zilu was about to reply to the text message, another message was sent over there.
"Zero, I suspect that Xiao Yi is having an affair behind my back! My friend at the magazine told me quietly! ”
"Don't believe what others say, there may be a misunderstanding, don't think about it, meet tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll try not to kick him under the bed today."
Ling Zilu smiled, not worried about the two of them at all, Xiao Yi is a man, he will never let Yuanyuan down.
"Zero, I'm back. "
"Just right to eat. Zero Deer came out of the kitchen with the dishes.
Yu Weisheng's eyes lit up, "Did you go shopping today?" "
"No, two days ago, I suddenly found that there was no apron when I was cooking, so I bought one online. "
Yu Weisheng put down his bag and hugged Zero Deer from behind, "Zero Zero, I thought you were in that me." It's summer, and Zero Deer is wearing only a knee-length loose T-shirt and a white apron over it.
"Is it hot? I'm going to turn on the air conditioner. "Zero Deer's face is a little red, this Yu Weisheng, an apron can be used.
"Zero, I'm hot here. Yu Wei moved vividly.
