Chapter 236 Ying Chanxi’s Smile
In the afternoon.
Li Luo accompanied Xu Youyu and coded in the living room for several hours.
After these days of hard work, his manuscript collection finally reached the 200,000-word mark.
Under Li Luo's urging, Xu Youyu actually had five chapters saved.
Enough for her to relax for two more days during the New Year's Eve and Spring Festival without having to ask for leave.
However, when Li Luo recommended that she could use the saved manuscripts on New Year's Eve, Xu Youyu said: "Of course I have to take leave on New Year's Eve."
"Why?"
"If I take leave on New Year's Eve, readers won't scold me." Xu Youyu said confidently, "It's a rare time when I don't get scolded for asking for leave, but you still want to waste my manuscripts? You really don't know how to live! I don’t know how to calculate carefully.”
Li Luo: “…I have plenty of manuscripts, so there is no need to calculate like this.”
"Tsk." Xu Youyu clicked his tongue a little dissatisfied, and strongly condemned, "You are a bourgeois class of coders. You have passed the stage of primitive accumulation of capital, and you can no longer empathize with the real proletarian coders!"
"How can there be any capitalists who are personally involved in the front line of production these days?" Li Luo rolled his eyes at her, "I can only be considered a senior coder."
"Oh~ it turns out that I am Cheng The capitalist's lackey!" Xu Youyu grabbed Li Luo's neck, pinched him hard, and pulled him into his arms. "That's even worse!"
Li Luo just I felt like the back of my head had sunk into some kind of extremely soft buffer zone, and I was almost immersed in a gentle land. I didn't feel the threat from the coders at the bottom at all.
"Okay, okay, it's almost evening." Li Luo broke free from Xu Youyu's arms, stood up and straightened his clothes, and then began to clear the table, "Let's go back to our homes and find our mothers. Let's go."
"Alas..." Upon hearing this, Xu Youyu's originally lively expression suddenly became lonely, "This is about to end."
"Don't say it. It’s like we’re separated for life and death, and we’ll be back after the Spring Festival.”
“But Xixi will also be back by then.” Xu Youyu sighed, feeling a little sad, “It would be nice if there were just the two of us. "
"I feel like you still have the rest of your sentence to finish?"
"Can't you be moved first?"
"I'm afraid of wasting my tears."
"Huh." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, "Don't even think about it. You plan to tell Xixi that you are writing a novel, but I have no intention of telling you."
< br>"When Xixi comes back to live, won't I be able to code with you?"
"The coding efficiency will change again."
>"Indeed." Li Luo nodded, "Then why don't you tell Xixi as well?"
"I'm not a fool." Xu Youyu chuckled, "I'm so stupid that I'm being criticized by so many people." We all know that we are writing a novel, so we have no choice but to tell Xixi.”
“Senior sister,” Li Luo narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, “Don’t be too arrogant. I don’t mind dragging you into trouble, and you don’t want your classmates to know that the president of our student union, president of the literary club, and number one in the second grade of high school can actually write that kind of novel, right?”
"You!" Xu Youyu's face turned red because of his anger, but he had nowhere to vent. He could only grit his teeth and endure it. He swallowed his last breath of anger and said with a smile on his face, "What are you talking about~ Master?" The little girl will do everything she is told, and she will not dare to complain at all."
"Yes, very good." Li Luo nodded, "Then help me put the notebook back. In the schoolbag, bring the keyboard and mouse as well, as well as the charging cable."
"Okay." Xu Youyu smiled slightly, packed his schoolbag obediently, and then asked with a smile. "Master, do you have anything else to give me?"
"My shoulders feel a little sore." Li Luo sat on the sofa and twisted his shoulders and neck.
"I'll give you a squeeze." Xu Youyu quickly walked behind the sofa and placed his two delicate, boneless hands on Li Luo's shoulders.
“My legs are a little sore too.” Li Luo lifted his feet and placed them on the coffee table.
“Don’t push me further!” Xu Youyu pinched Li Luo’s neck in annoyance, gritting his teeth and said, “It’s getting more and more excessive!”
“ Look! The truth is revealed."
"It's obvious that you are pressing hard." Xu Youyu snorted, "If it were true, I would have strangled you to death."< br>
The two people had a fight in the living room, and soon packed their luggage while playing.
At almost five o'clock in the evening, the two of them dragged their luggage out of the house and really had to go back to their respective homes.
“Hey, Li Luo.”
As he walked to the gate of the community, Li Luo was about to take a taxi home when he was stopped by Xu Youyu who was about to leave.
"What's wrong?"
"The next time we meet, it will be after the New Year, right?"
"Yes."
"Then...should we do it before New Year's Eve?" What's the last thing to do?" Xu Youyu tilted her head and looked at him. The moment before leaving, the memories of being alone in the past few days were flooding in her mind, which made her say these words.
“We’re all going home now.” Li Luo smiled and said, “How else do you want to collect materials?”
“You agree first, then we’ll know?”
"I don't care, it's just..."
Li Luo had just finished speaking when Xu Youyu over there had already let go of his hand dragging the suitcase and walked forward quickly.
Before Li Luo could react, he hugged Li Luo.
At this moment, Li Luo was stunned.
"Hold me." Xu Youyu buried his head in Li Luo's chest, feeling his heartbeat and temperature, and said softly, "We are collecting materials, hurry up."
Li Luo blinked, his hands stagnant. In mid-air, after several seconds, he gently placed his hand on Xu Youyu's shoulder.
But Xu Youyu was not too polite to him. He hugged Li Luo's back tightly with both hands, hugging him tighter and tighter.
Even if both of them were wearing thick down jackets, Li Luo could clearly feel the amazing broad mind, ever-changing in his chest.
I don’t know how long I hugged him like this.
Xu Youyu let go of Li Luo, took a few steps back and smiled at him, with a rare blush on his face, and looked at him with a smile: "The inspiration this hug gave me should be able to hold on until I’ll see you next time.”
……
After returning home, he ate the food cooked by his mother again after many days. Li Luo ate while listening to his mother’s cooking. The arrangements for the next few days were given.
"Xixi and the others will be back in the evening."
"Tomorrow let's prepare some New Year's goods together, and then return to the countryside the day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow, on New Year's Eve, let's have a good family get-together."
"On the Spring Festival day, I will visit relatives, and your dad's relatives and friends will have to walk around."
"Then on the second day of the Lunar New Year, , let’s go to my grandparents’ house in the next village for dinner.”
“We should stay in the countryside from the third to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.”
“You will start school on March 1st. We will be back on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. We will stay at home for another two days before getting ready to go to school." At this point, Lin Xiuhong turned to look at Li Guohong and asked him, "How many children will Qiqi and Lulu have this year?" They have all graduated and are working, and Jiajia is still in college, so she wants to prepare a red envelope.”
“Your second uncle’s family has one more, your third uncle’s family has three, and our family has three. ."
"Really? Did I make a mistake?"
"I missed one," Li Guohong reminded, "Didn't my second uncle Jia Guoyao's son get married last year? I just gave birth to a baby at the end of the year, and it’s just in time for the 100th anniversary of the Chinese New Year. I have to give birth to a bigger baby.”
“Yes, I was so busy that I forgot about it.” Lin Xiuhong immediately nodded and took note of it, and then couldn’t help but take it down. He sighed, "Look, all my children are getting married and starting a business. I don't know when this kid Li Luo will be able to give me grandchildren."
"Mom." Li Luo was speechless upon hearing this, "I'm still in the first year of high school. If I give birth to a baby for you, you won't be scared to death."
"I just said this, do you still take it seriously?" Huh?" Lin Xiuhong glared at him angrily, "Besides, with your current conditions, you can make money by writing books. You can't get one in high school, but why can't you get one in college? , the marriage certificate can also give you extra points."
Li Luo twitched his lips: "...You are quite wise in your calculations. You can get multiple benefits with one stone."
"Eat. It's your meal." Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes at him, "Study hard and don't let your grades down when you write. Mom will be very grateful."
"Don't talk too much about me." Luo reminded, "You and dad should also inquire more about the shops at the subway entrance. If it can be done, you two won't have to get up early every day to work in the dark. Wouldn't it be good to collect the rent and enjoy the happiness?"
"You haven't even said a word yet, so you should worry about us first." Lin Xiuhong said this, but she was very happy in her heart.
When Li Luo was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School attached to the school, Lin Xiuhong felt that her family was extremely lucky in her previous life.
I didn’t expect that this blessing was just the beginning, and better things were yet to come.
Now that I think about it, it really feels like a dream.
Lin Xiuhong's face was glowing now, and she could not wait to return to the countryside, bringing her husband and son back home in fine clothes.
...
After dinner, Li Luo helped his mother wash the dishes and then went back to the room to code.
As for Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong, since the breakfast restaurant will officially close from today and will not open until March 1st, it is rare for them to take an annual leave for themselves and go out for a walk in the evening.
I didn’t come back until after nine o’clock.
After all, the long-term biological clock is there, so I went to bed early.
Li Luo, on the other hand, kept busy until ten o'clock in the evening. He occasionally chatted with Xu Youyu on QQ, and joined the author QQ group Shuishui in the symposium to pay homage to the boss.
Then I was worshiped in reverse by the big guys like they were playing tricks. Everyone was sharing the recent trends in a friendly manner.
Perhaps because of Li Luo's tit-for-tat remarks to Chu Sheng at the symposium, the big guys in the group had a very good attitude towards him.
This temporarily formed QQ group did not gradually lose its voice like ordinary groups. Instead, it was quite active every day.
In this group, although Li Luo is quite conspicuous, he is definitely not the most shining one.
This made him feel more relaxed in the group, but he also became a lot more active.
Until about 11 o'clock in the evening, Li Luo's QQ profile picture flashed.
It was a message from Yan Zhusheng.
[Yan Zhusheng]: Landed!
[Li Luo]: Received.
[Yan Zhusheng]: Are you free these two days?
[Li Luo]: Tomorrow I will go shopping with my parents for the New Year, and I will go back to the countryside the day after tomorrow.
[Yan Zhusheng]: Okay...then when can I go to the countryside to see you?
[Li Luo]: At least until the third grade of junior high school, right? When I was in the second grade of junior high school, I had to go to my grandparents’ house for dinner with my parents.
[Yan Zhusheng]: Oh.
[Li Luo]: You can contact your senior sister first. She also plans to visit our place during the Chinese New Year. You can become friends.
[Yan Zhusheng]: That’s right, I understand.
[Li Luo]: Tell me when you get home.
[Yan Zhusheng]: Okay.
Putting down the phone, Li Luo blinked and waited silently.
But after waiting for a long time, I didn’t get a letter from another person.
So he took the initiative to send a message again.
[Li Luo]: Are you here?
After a while, Ying Chanxi replied.
[Ying Chan Creek]: Here we are.
[Li Luo]: Where are you now?
[Yingchan Creek]: On the road.
[Li Luo]: How long will it take to get home?
[Ying Chan Creek]: 30
At this time, Li Luo felt more and more that something was wrong, and he frowned and fell into deep thought.
It’s not like you’ve been traveling for too long and you’re too tired from flying, boating, and traveling, right?
Or...
Li Luo thought about his previous guess, about Uncle Ying and Aunt Yuan... Could it be a showdown with Ying Chanxi?
If this is the case, it is natural that Xixi's mood would be so low.
Thinking of this, Li Luo frowned even more.
I waited for about twenty minutes.
Li Luo stood up and put on his down jacket and the scarf that Ying Chanxi gave him, went downstairs to the corridor of his home, and stood in the cold wind waiting quietly.
In a few minutes, two blazing white car lights turned all the way from the entrance of the community and stopped at the entrance of the corridor.
Ying Zhicheng and Ying Chanxi got out of the car. Secretary Rong and the driver also got out of the car, took out the luggage from the trunk, and took the lead in sending it to the fourth floor.
Ying Zhicheng and Ying Chanxi followed behind and walked to the entrance of the corridor.
Ying Zhicheng, who was walking in front, glanced at Li Luo: "It's so cold at night, go up quickly, it's hard for you to wait for us."
"It's okay, I'll just do it Not long after we came down." Li Luo chuckled twice, then his eyes fell on Ying Chanxi and waved to her, "I haven't seen her for more than ten days, don't you know her?"
Ying Chan? Xi raised her eyes to look at him, smiled immediately, walked to Li Luo, raised her hand to help him adjust the scarf on his chest: "I have been thinking about you these past few days, and finally I see you."
When Ying Zhicheng saw this, he immediately shook his head and laughed. He ignored them and went upstairs to open the door for the secretary and driver who was carrying luggage in front of him.
At the entrance of the corridor downstairs, Li Luo looked at Ying Chanxi in front of him, always feeling that she was both familiar and a little strange.
But I can't tell what has changed.
"What are you looking at?" Ying Chanxi raised his hand and waved it in front of him, with a smile on his face. "You still want to blow the cold wind here? Go up."
