Chapter 174: Something Extra in the Bag (Asking for Subscription)
When I came back, I left Wutong Town at two o'clock, although I didn't take the highway, but at three o'clock, Lin Lu and Li Xingruo had also returned to southern Jiangsu City.
The surrounding road conditions gradually became familiar, Lin Lu turned off the navigation of his mobile phone, and turned his head to look at Li Xingruo in the co-pilot, the sister next door who had just said that she would not sleep, was sleeping comfortably at this time.
She curled up slightly on the chair with her hands around her hands, the seat belt was slanted in front of her, pulling out a graceful arc, a pair of big eyes were softly closed, and her long eyelashes like a row of small brushes occasionally fluttered slightly, her head was tilted to the side of Lin Lu, her small mouth opened a little bit, her waterfall-like hair was naturally scattered, and her sleeping face looked well-behaved and cute, which made people want to take a bite.
While waiting at the intersection of a red street light, Lin Lu leaned over and popped on her soft little mouth a few times, because she had eaten toffee before, the taste of this sister next door was particularly sweet.
"Hmm......"
"Sister Xingruo, wake up soon, it's time to Sunan."
Li Xingruo opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw his face close in front of him, he responded first and smacked him twice, then rubbed his eyes, sat up straight, and stretched slightly.
"So fast!"
"Does it feel like you're crossing in again?"
ββ¦β¦ When did I fall asleep? β
"You've been asleep for more than half an hour, chatting with me, chatting and chatting and then there is no sound, and you fall asleep when you turn around!"
"I'm sure you're all to blame, if I was in the car by myself, I would never sleep."
Li Xingruo felt that Lin Lu must have changed from sleeping pills, every time he was with him, he had a hazy feeling of sleepiness, especially wanted to sleep with him, thinking about where he usually dared to sleep so peacefully when he took the car, not to mention the distance from Liangxi to southern Jiangsu, every time he went back in the past, he took the high-speed rail, and he had to change to the bus and subway all the way bumpy, but now he sat in his car, closed his eyes comfortably, and opened his eyes to southern Jiangsu.
As a road idiot, she doesn't know which specific position she is currently in, but it doesn't matter, it's enough to know that Lin Lu is by her side.
Take out the water bottle and unscrew it, and hand it to Lin Lu first.
"Now, drink water, you don't have an urgency to urinate this time, right?"
ββ¦β¦ I went out to the toilet first this time, of course there was no hurry. β
"Hmph, why didn't you go to the bathroom first last time?"
"Don't be in a hurry to go back to Liangxi with Sister Xingruo, just forget about it."
Lin Lu took the water bottle she handed over and took a few sips of water, the green light turned on, he handed her the water bottle and started the car smoothly.
Sure enough, the best way to improve driving skills while driving is to run a small long distance, compared to when he first got his driver's license, Lin Lu is now as stable as an old driver.
Li Xingruo took the water bottle he had drunk, and also took a sip of some water, his throat was a little dry when he first woke up, and he was more energetic after moisturizing.
"Shall we go home first, or should we go to my mother's first?"
"Well, let's go to Auntie's side first! Anyway, there's nothing else to do when I go home at this time, my mother stuffed me with a lot of things, and when you go back to school tonight, you have to go back to school again, and you have to go to military training again in half a month, I can't finish eating so many things, bring some to Aunt Uncle Wen, and then pick Xiaoman back. β
"Sister Xingruo's manuscript is still enough, you haven't coded for the past three days, you're lazy!"
"It's almost bottoming out! It just so happens that you don't need to disturb me when you're not at home, I can save the manuscript with peace of mind, and I can play again when I wait for the National Day. β
"It's really fake, when I'm not at home, is there more code words for Sister Xingruo?"
"When, of course!"
From July 22nd to now, Li Xingruo's book has been on the shelves for almost two months, and the update is quite diligent, with a stable 5,000 words every day, and now it is more than 300,000 words, and the average order of the book has come to more than 8,000, which is a very top-notch new book in Begonia.
Originally, the plan was to write about 400,000 words, but I found that I was quite able to write water, and it was estimated that I could write about 600,000 words at most, which is a lot of words in the female frequency.
Since there is still water, Li Xingruo is not in a hurry to finish first, after all, the more words you can make, if you can break through 10,000 orders during the serialization period, then it will be more advantageous to negotiate with major publishers for the first printing.
Now I think about it like a dream, I have been on the street for so many years, and suddenly I opened my mind to write a fire book, the current results are unimaginable before, and now when I really write this achievement, the mood seems very calm, there is a sense of calmness from the flower bee, probably this is the kind of confidence and confidence accumulated by Lin Lu painting for many years.
Li Xingruo's current requirements for Lin Lu are not high, she just needs him to study hard and accumulate experience, as for making money or something, my sister can support him, should I say it, her current manuscript fee plus salary is also forty or fifty thousand a month, and after the physical publication, it will definitely skyrocket, and it is more than enough to maintain this stinky brother.
However, most of the authors in this line are more melancholy about the future, after all, everyone will have the day when inspiration disappears, just like a writer once said, the words that people can write in their lives are limited, and when they reach that number of words, they can no longer write a word, so while they can still write, Li Xingruo redoubles his efforts to write more, and when he can't write in the future, her stinky brother has grown up, and he will take care of her at that time, after all, his profession is different from her, art and art design or something, the older he gets, the more popular it is.
Thinking about it this way, Li Xingruo felt that the two were really a good match, and when they saved a lot of money in the future, they could go around playing with him.
Lin Lu seemed to know what she was thinking, and asked again: "Then when I finish my military training and the National Day, there will be seven days of leave, where does Sister Xingruo plan to play?" β
"Hmm, find a place farther away!"
"Back to Liangxi?"
ββ¦β¦ You're tanned after military training, why should I take you back? β
"Sister Xingruo, I feel that Uncle Li and Auntie seem to see that I am not twenty years old."
"Huh? Did they ask you, my mother? β
"That's not true, when I just got in the car to get something, Uncle Li also said that Sister Xingruo, the big umbrella in my trunk, had brought it back before."
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
Yes, it was probably raining during the Qingming Festival before, Li Xingruo exchanged umbrellas with him, she took his big umbrella home, and her father also asked her who gave her the big umbrella, and she said that it was given by the high school student who taught her.
"Ugh."
"What's wrong, Sister Xingruo."
"Life is not easy, sister sighs, drive your car!"
Regardless of whether the parents can see it or not, in short, if Li Xing can see it, the parents are really satisfied with Lin Lu, and this time they have successfully pulled the parents into the camp of the waiting faction, so there is nothing to worry about for the time being.
When I came to the community where my mother lived, Lin Lu parked the car, Li Xingruo sent a message to Liangxi's parents to report that they were safe, and the two went upstairs with their things together.
It was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, my mother was collecting clothes on the balcony, Uncle Wen was sitting on the sofa and playing chess with a laptop, and the younger sisters were pulling the little fat cat to play peek-a-boo together.
Seeing Lin Lu and the two coming back, Momo and Yanyan pounced.
"Brotherββ!
"Sister ββ!"
"Xiaoman doesn't know where to hide! We searched for a long time but couldn't find it! β
"Huh?! Is Xiaoman lost?! Li Xingruo was startled.
Lin Lu was also stunned, and after listening to his sisters' nonsense explanations, he raised his head and looked around, and easily saw the cat lying on top of the refrigerator looking over here yawning lazily, originally Xiaoman also planned to come over to greet him, but he finally found such a good place to hide, but he couldn't let Mo Mo Yanyan find out.
"I didn't lose it, Xiaoman isn't in the house." Lin Lu said with a smile.
"Where, where! I've looked under the bed, but I didn't see Xiaoman! "My sisters are dying.
Uncle Wen and his mother on the side also came over.
"You're back, how is it, is the road going well?"
"Very good." Lin Lu straightened his waist a little proudly.
"Auntie, Uncle Wen, these are all brought back from Liangxi, some home-grown vegetables, and some special products." Li Xingruo also greeted with a smile.
"Ah, so much! If you take it home to eat, you don't usually have to go grocery shopping. β
"There are still in the car, I can't finish eating it myself, some of them are also my mother they asked me to bring to my aunt Uncle Wen, there is also a killed local chicken, and this bag of fried fish, all of which were caught by my grandfather, the fish is not big, but the fried is very fragrant and crispy!"
Li Xingruo and Lin Lu helped to pack up all the things, such as small snacks and plum candy, the younger sisters saw that their eyes were bright, and when they took out the bag of dried fish, a fluffy head melon squeezed from among the sisters.
"Meow whoa?"
ββ¦β¦ Xiaoman! Xiaoman, why did you suddenly appear again?! β
The younger sisters admired the little fat cat so much that they threw themselves to the ground, and they really played the game of peek-a-boo, and they couldn't play it in their lives.
With the acquaintance with each other, now Li Xingruo is more and more comfortable in Lin Lu's house, Zou Wanrou is particularly fond of this virtuous, sensible and gentle girl, and she also likes the kind and caring aunt Uncle Wen and the cute and clingy sisters.
Dinner was made by Li Xingruo with Zou Wanrou, but it didn't take much effort, after all, Auntie and they also brought back a lot of delicious food from their hometown, plus she and Lin Lu brought it from Liangxi, two different flavors of food together, it was another hearty dinner.
Because I have to go to work tomorrow, Lin Lu has to go back to school at half past eight for a class meeting, deliver things, and have dinner together, Lin Lu and Li Xingruo hugged the little fat cat and prepared to go back.
Before leaving, Zou Wanrou stuffed Li Xingruo with a lot of things she brought back from her hometown, and the things in the car were not missing at all.
At half past seven in the evening, Lin Lu, Li Xingruo and the little fat cat finally returned home.
After feeding the little goldfish who had been hungry for two days, the sister and brother lay lazily on the sofa with the cat, looking at the luggage and gifts that would fill the living room when they brought back, and they didn't want to move for a while.
People are always like this, they will feel bored and panicked after staying at home for a long time, but when they come back after a long trip, they will feel that they are really comfortable at home, and the muscles of the whole body are sour and numb lying on the sofa, without a trace of pressure and urgency, and the mood will float up after completely relaxing.
Lin Lu was the first to move, he reluctantly sat up straight from the sofa, hugged the soft meowing sister next door into his arms, closed his eyes and kissed her for three minutes.
Li Xingruo softened, but Lin Lu became stronger, and then she pushed away in shame.
Seeing that the time was not early, Lin Lu left from the sofa, got up and came over to pack up the things he brought back, put them in the kitchen, and put them in the refrigerator.
"Just wait for me to clean up later, don't you have a class meeting at half past eight, don't you hurry back to school, it's not a shame to be late as the class leader."
"It's okay, just tidy up a bit."
Seeing that he was tidying up, Li Xingruo also let him, took his backpack, went to his room to help him put all the things he was going to take to school into his backpack, like pants and socks, and some anti-heat stroke medicine, gastrointestinal medicine and cold medicine or something, and stuffed him with a pack of tangerine peel, which can usually be soaked in water and drunk, he wore camouflage uniforms for the next half a month, and there were some clothes in the dormitory, but there was nothing else to bring.
"Do you want a large Band-Aid?" Li Xingruo asked him with a mocking smile.
"What a large band-aid...... I'm kidding! Whoever stuffs this stuff in his shoes will not be laughed to death. Lin Lu understood, and his old face was embarrassed.
"The essence of a band-aid is preparedness!"
"I don't want ......"
"Well, let's go to school." Li Xingruo handed him the packed backpack.
"Then I'm leaving, if Sister Xingruo misses me, remember to sneak into the school to see me." Lin Lu took the backpack and smiled at her.
"I miss you a lot! See for yourself if there's anything missing. β
"What? The backpack that my sister Xingruo helped me pack, can there be anything missing? β
Lin Lu carried the backpack behind him, hugged her and kissed her before leaving, and finally rubbed the little fat cat's head.
"Then I'll go."
"By the way, you can bring all these snacks to your roommates, we can't finish eating so much."
"Okay."
"Clockwork a message at school!"
"I know, if Sister Xingruo can't sleep tonight, remember to go to my room to sleep."
ββ¦β¦ . β
"Then I'll get out."
Lin Lu walked to the door, got in through the crack in the door, kissed her smooth forehead, and then waved his hand to close the door.
He was not at home, Li Xingruo immediately felt that the house was a lot empty, and almost every minute and second of these days was glued together, and when Lin Lu walked, the little girl suddenly felt unaccustomed.
She ran to the edge of the balcony and looked down, it was nearly eight o'clock in the evening, and night had already fallen, and it was the height of the twenty-third floor, and she could not see him clearly.
After squinting at the old man for a while, he had to give up and go back to the house to continue to pack his things.
When something is done, the clutter will be reduced a lot, and after collecting all the things she brought back, she simply cleaned the house, and then took out the computer and went to his room to code words.
The computer was hung with WeChat, and at 8:20, the WeChat in the lower right corner jumped, and Lin Lu sent a message that he had arrived in the classroom to prepare for the class meeting.
Probably this is the emotion of worry.,Fortunately, in the book she wrote recently.,The plot happens to be the plot of the male and female protagonists who are temporarily separated from each other because of work.,The mood at the moment is combined with the plot in the book.,Not to mention.,This damn parting melancholy actually came in handy.γ
Writing a book is like this, when the author's emotions fit the content of the book, the emotion will be revealed when she writes, otherwise she is in a melancholy mood now, but she wants to write the sweetness in the book, and then the ironclad Kavin will be stuck to go crazy.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Li Xingruo completed today's code word task, closed the computer and went back to his room to prepare to take a change of clothes and take a shower.
The suitcase was not packed yet, she opened the suitcase and took out her clothes one by one, and Lin Lu's clothes in it, which were also folded one by one.
When she opened the small bag that was placed aside, Li Xingruo was stunned and saw what was in the small bag that did not belong to her.
What, this is ......
She curiously took out the contents of the small bag and looked at it, the packaging was silver, a bit like the packaging of wet wipes, directly above was the leaf-green letter logo, in the middle was a big 'transparent' two words, and a few small words 'texture ultra-thin', at the bottom were two black characters '岑ζ¬', and a line of small words.
The little girl whispered in a confused voice: "Natural rubber avoids ...... Avoid......??!! β
When she saw the last three words, her pretty face turned red in an instant, as if she was holding some hot potato, and she hurriedly threw the things in her hand aside.
What the heck! What the heck! Who the hell stuffed it in!!
Fortunately, there is no one else at home, Li Xingruo's little heart is pounding, as a girl who has been a single mother for twenty-two years, she has heard a lot of this thing, but it is the first time she has seen it in her life, not to mention how strong the shock is.
The embarrassed little girl was about to pick up her mobile phone, planning to send a message to Lin Lu to ask if he had put it.
But the words in the input box were not finished yet, and she even pressed the delete button to delete the words in the box.
It wasn't put by Lin Lu, and if you think about it, you know that even if he has the courage to buy it, he doesn't have the courage to put it in her bag with great fanfare.
He must have secretly hid himself, and at some point, she said, 'It's okay if you're not prepared,' and then he magically took it out and said, 'Don't worry, I'm ready', that's right.
So since it wasn't put on Stinky Forest Road, who else would put it?
Li Xingruo blushed and thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that her mother had stuffed something into her bag before leaving, and she asked what it was, and her mother said with a strange face that it was a talisman......
That's right, the amulet!
Li Xingruo hurriedly rummaged through the bag again, but let her turn the bag upside down, where did she find any talismans!
Isn't that it?!
The little girl's little face suddenly became embarrassed as a little tomato, and she lay on the bed with a whimper, as if she had no seams, and writhed and rolled around like a little stinky maggot.
My dear mother! What have you been thinking all day! Where have I been with him! Is it really okay to stuff this thing with a reserved girl! How could it be ......!
recalled that day when she talked to Lin Lu about whether her parents would suspect that they had something, she also swore that she would never do, but she didn't expect to turn around and stab her mother in the back.
Li Xingruo is no longer the little girl who needs her mother to teach her to use Band-Aids, and she has also experienced her mother's good intentions, probably this is the implicit nature of Chinese-style parents, since her mother pretended not to know, then she naturally tacitly agreed......
"Meow whoa?"
The little fat cat jumped on the bed and sniffed the box of gum curiously.
In short, God knows this, my mother knows Xiaoman, she knows, and she must not let Lin Lu know! Otherwise, he would have been even more presumptuous!
Li Xingruo blushed and took the box of chewing gum, the embarrassment gradually dissipated, she looked at it with great interest, opened the box, and took out ten instant noodle seasoning packets from it, wrapped in a smooth plastic bag, and could feel the bulging circle in it.
She curiously tore open one and looked at it, this chewing gum was not the same as she imagined, it was greasy to the touch, and there was a faint fragrance.
The little girl was frightened and ashamed, her mind was full of strange things, and the ghost made the gods worse, she studied how to use it, pinched the circle and put it on her fingers.
With her fingers moving, she looked stunned, then blushed, hurriedly took it off, wrapped it in a tissue and threw it in the trash.
What the heck! What the heck!
The phone vibrated and startled her, and when she picked it up, she saw that it was a message from Lin Lu.
"Sister Xingruo, have you finished writing, I have already gone back to the dormitory to take a shower and lie down, do you want a video?"
"Don't."
"Are you taking a shower?"
"Hmm."
[Video Call Request]
[Hang Up Video Call Request]
"What are you doing! I ask you, have you ever opened my bag? β
"No, what's wrong, did you lose something?"
"I didn't lose it, a few more pieces of candy."
"Sister Xingruo put it herself."
It seems that he really didn't put it, Li Xingruo disposed of the outer packaging box as well, took the remaining nine chewing gums and thought about where to hide them, and finally hid them in a coat and coat in the closet that he didn't often wear.
Like a thief, Li Xingruo panicked and took a change of clothes and towels to the bathroom in Lin Lu's room to take a shower.
After taking a shower and lying on his bed with a small quilt, even so, I still had a shameful insomnia tonight......
There are gains and losses.
She felt like she had grown a lot, at least she knew what to do with it in the future......
