Chapter 238 It’s all my dad’s fault
In the late winter, at the entrance of Jincheng Community, under the dim street lights, next to the deserted street.
The boy and the girl hugged each other, and the dim yellow light fell on their heads, suddenly tinged with a light golden color.
The shadows fell at the feet of the two people, tangled together, making it difficult to distinguish.
"So it was my dad who told you something, right?"
Ying Chanxi buried her head in Li Luo's arms and nuzzled her a few times, as if wiping her tears.
Asked in a muffled voice.
After regaining his composure a little, Ying Chanxi thought about Li Luo's changes before and after, and Ying Chanxi could easily think of the variables involved.
Listening to Ying Chanxi's voice, Li Luo confirmed that her mood had temporarily stabilized, and felt a little relieved in her heart.
"Uncle is also worried about you." Li Luo hugged Ying Chanxi and said softly, "So, you have known about it for several days?"
Ying Chanxi didn't answer, just nodded in his arms.
Li Luo sighed and said helplessly: "Although saying this is a bit hindsight, I did intend to tell you about it during the Chinese New Year. I didn't mean to hide it from you all the time. It's just..."
"Don't talk about this, okay?" Ying Chanxi raised her head in his arms a little tiredly. She probably finally wiped away her tears before she had the nerve to look at Li Luo. Still a little down, "I shouldn't have lost my temper with you just now. It was my fault. I apologize to you."
"Um...no...it should have been me..." Li Luo looked stunned. , I didn’t expect Ying Chanxi to say this.
But Ying Chanxi had already grabbed his shoulders at this time, threw herself into his arms, pursed her lips, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions just now. "
"It's not entirely your fault. After all, I kept it secret from you," Li Luo said quickly, "It's normal for you to be angry."
"No..." Ying Chanxi couldn't help but frown when he heard what he said. She grabbed the small hand on his shoulder and subconsciously said a little harder, "I'm not telling you to write a novel without telling me. That’s why I’m so angry!”
“When dad told me that you were secretly writing a novel, I was really a little angry.”
“But that’s it. A little bit like that.”
“After all, everyone has their own little secrets, and I also have some secrets that I don’t want you to know. This is normal.”
"It's just..."
At this point, Ying Chanxi paused for a moment, and his throat choked subconsciously. The feeling of grievance that was finally suppressed by Li Luo's hug came back. Got her stuck.
Ying Chanxi took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and then continued with a little choked up:
"It's just that I heard that Aunt Yuan knew about this, and Zhu Sheng also knew about it. , but you didn’t tell me.”
“If it’s just that, I can still explain it to you. After all, Aunt Yuan is a very famous singer, and you happened to have written another song in the novel. It’s very suitable for the TV series in dad’s company.”
“So it’s understandable that Aunt Yuan and Zhu Sheng know about your novel writing.”
“But...then dad said. He said that after Aunt Yuan's song "Rings of the Year" became a hit, she participated in many activities, her popularity increased, and she even did a linked interview with the novel you wrote. "
"The effect is surprisingly good, you. The grades of my books are getting better and better.”
“Zhu Sheng knows all this, but I have always been kept in the dark.”
“It’s obviously so worth it. What a happy thing, why does Zhusheng know it but I can’t? ”
Having said this, Ying Chanxi's eyes suddenly became shiny again, tears fell down one after another from the corners of his eyes, and he said aggrievedly.
“I just feel so uncomfortable.”
“Obviously it should be something worth being happy for you, a good thing that I can celebrate with you, but I missed it all!”< br>
“There is also the matter of your participation in the symposium and winning the first prize in the essay competition. What an honor!”
“If I had known about this a long time ago, I definitely would not have done it. I traveled abroad with my father. I also wanted to see you on stage to receive the award!”
“Dad said that you also had difficulties, so I went to read your novel, although I only read one. A little bit, but I probably understand.”
“You just feel embarrassed, so you don’t want your acquaintances to know.”
“I can understand, but I just feel uncomfortable.”
< br>“I’ve been panicking when I think about this these days, but I don’t want to argue with you directly on QQ or on the phone.”
“I’m thinking of waiting to come back in a few days. I’ll ask you about this in person.”
"But, but...it's just been hard these days."
"If I can't explain it clearly to you, I'll always have random thoughts."
"I'm thinking, since Bamboo Sheng I know, does Huanhuan, who is usually very close to her, also know?”
“Then does Zhao Rongjun know?”
“Do the classmates in your class know? ?”
“I think I don’t know, but it makes me sad to think that there may be another possibility.”
“Then I thought of Aunt Lin and Uncle Li. , do they know about your novel writing?"
"After all, Dad said that you made a lot of money from this book, so logically, he should tell Aunt Lin and the others."
"But when I think about this...when I think about this..." Ying Chanxi's lips pressed together, and his whole body started to twitch with tears.
"Obviously the four of us often eat together at the same dining table. Aunt Lin is always so kind to me. I feel like I am at home, which is very reassuring."
< br>
"But when I thought about all three of you hiding it from me, I just...I just..."
At this point, Ying Chanxi couldn't hold back his emotions at all, and tears flowed down. , he choked and choked on everything he said, and buried his face in Li Luo's arms again.
Li Luo swallowed silently, Ying Chanxi's words kept flooding in his mind, he quickly held her face, trying to help her wipe away her tears: "Stop talking, don't talk "It's all my fault, okay, let's not talk anymore, okay?"
"Don't look at me..." Ying Chanxi's little face wrinkled up in tears, and she raised her hand to press Li Luo's face. Go to the side and whisper, "You're so ugly, don't look at it."
"Okay, okay, I won't look at it."
"I don't dare to talk to you these days. , I'm afraid I can't help it." Ying Chanxi cried for a while, then felt a little better, and then continued, "I think it's best to talk about this kind of thing in person."
< br>"That's what I really thought. When I came home and saw you waiting downstairs, I was already smiling very hard."
"I just wanted to control my emotions. I don’t want to lose my temper with you.”
“I should have told you as soon as I saw you, but I felt so uncomfortable. I was afraid that I would cry as soon as I told you.”
"So I didn't say it right away. I thought it might be better to wait a day, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, before telling you about it."
"But why did you sneak into my bedroom!"
"I was not mentally prepared at all. I told you that we would talk about it tomorrow, but you didn't listen. I really... I really "..."
"I might have adjusted myself after some sleep...I really didn't mean to lose my temper with you..."
"It's okay, it's not your fault. "Li Luo patted her back gently and comforted softly, "After all, it happened suddenly and it was all my fault."
"It's all my dad's fault." Ying Chanxi said on his chest. After wiping away her tears, she muttered quietly, "It would be better if he didn't say anything. Then if you tell me during the Chinese New Year, I would feel better."
"Uh... cough cough. ..." When Li Luo heard this, he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Uncle didn't think that much, I'm sure he can't be blamed for this."
"As for me writing. The novel was actually just an idea during the summer vacation. "
"Didn't I go to your house to play on the computer every day?"
"Then. At the moment I didn’t dare to tell anyone, I was just having fun on my own, but the website said I could sign a contract.”
“But I am a minor, and signing a contract with the website requires a guardian to guarantee it, so there is nothing I can do. , I told my mother about it privately.”
"I did very well in the high school entrance examination at that time. My mother's attitude towards me changed, and she agreed to my writing novels. After all, it was better than me playing on the computer every day."
"What I thought at that time Yes, what I wrote is rather shameful, so it’s better not to reveal it to my acquaintances.”
“It’s just that you found out later, because of the song “Rings of the Year”, it was accidentally found out by Yan Zhusheng. "
"It was a blessing in disguise. After Aunt Yuan made the song popular, the results of my book also improved."
"As for keeping it secret. The reason for following you... In addition to not wanting the acquaintances around me to know, it's also because..."
"Because of what?" Ying Chanxi asked curiously.
"Because I drew inspiration from you and wrote a character in the book who looks very much like you." Li Luo said a little embarrassed, "It would be too embarrassing if you saw it. "
"Is there such a thing?" Ying Chanxi cheered up, "I have only read a few chapters in the past few days. I felt so uncomfortable that I stopped reading. So when will this character come out? Appearance? "
"Um...about ten chapters, right?" Li Luo scratched his head and said with a smile, "But why don't you read it?" " "Why can't you watch it?" Ying Chanxi snorted, "Didn't Zhusheng watch it?"
"...I saw it."
"Is there any character based on her in the book?" Ying Chanxi narrowed his eyes and asked.
"...Yes."
"Okay!" Ying Chanxi gritted his teeth and punched him, "Then I want to see it too! You can't stop me."
< br>"Okay, okay, then you can read it." Li Luo raised his hands in surrender, "But the plot of the novel is all fabricated by demons. Just don't take it seriously when you read it. It's all fiction and exaggeration, do you understand?"
"I know." Ying Chanxi nodded, but soon came back to his thoughts and looked at him suspiciously, "You didn't write anything bad about me in the book, did you? In advance How about a patch here?"
"How is that possible?" Li Luo shook his head repeatedly, "Besides that the character in the book is only about half as cute as you, there is nothing wrong with him."
"Even if you say that, I won't be happy." Ying Chanxi blushed and punched him again, but the force of the punch was lighter each time.
At this time, Li Luo realized that the two of them seemed to have been hugging each other for a long time.
Seeing that the words had been spoken, he finally let go of his hand and took half a step back, wanting to temporarily end the sticky state at the moment.
But when Ying Chanxi saw this, he immediately pulled him back and threw his whole body into his arms. Then he buried his face into his chest with a guilty look on his face and whispered in a low voice: "I'm so cold, it's all my fault." You, I put on a down jacket and ran out. I was almost freezing to death."
"Then go back quickly." Li Luo looked down and helped her zip up the down jacket.
But at this time, Ying Chanxi's lower body was wearing a pair of thick-looking panda pajamas, with his ankles exposed.
Ying Chanxi was crying so hard just now that she didn't notice it. Now that her mood had calmed down, she really felt cold.
While leaning in Li Luo's arms, Ying Chanxi couldn't help but stamp her feet a few times, feeling that her feet were a little frozen.
"Put it on." Li Luo took off half of his scarf and put it around Ying Chanxi's neck, "Let's go."
The two of them walked toward the community half-hugging each other. Walking inside, Ying Chanxi leaned in Li Luo's arms, feeling the warmth brought by the scarf, and her mood gradually became clearer.
She is now grateful and a little scared. Fortunately, Li Luo chased her out just now, otherwise she really doesn't know what to do.
In fact, some things, if you talk about it like this, after the emotions are vented, it will not be so uncomfortable.
Ying Chanxi was simply suffocated during those few days abroad, and he was thinking about a lot of random things in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became.
If he really had learned about this in China and had come to Li Luo to make it clear as soon as possible, he would not have had such intense emotions.
After all, it was a mistake.
Fortunately, the ending was not bad. After the two people talked about it, Ying Chanxi was relieved. He just wanted to go home quickly and read the novel written by Li Luo to see what he wrote in the end.
But just as the two of them were walking towards the entrance of the corridor, Ying Chanxi suddenly stopped and subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Li Luo was pulled to a stop by her. He turned to look at Ying Chanxi and asked strangely: "What's wrong?"
"Look..." Ying Chanxi raised a With one hand, he gently held a piece of falling pure white elf, watching it melt little by little in his palm.
Li Luo looked at the snowflakes, then raised his head to take a closer look, and suddenly found bits and pieces of white snow slowly falling from the night sky.
It fell on the branches, on the roof of the car, in the bushes, and between the hair of the two of them.
"Wow~" Ying Chanxi watched the snow falling more and more in front of him and couldn't help but cheered, "Li Luo, it's snow! It's snowing~"
"Well, it's snowing. It's snowing." Li Luo raised his hand and swept her head with a smile on his face, "But let's go back first. It won't be fun if you catch a cold during the Chinese New Year."
"I know~"
Ying Chanxi was just happy, always feeling that the snowfall must have a different meaning after she and Li Luo reconciled after their quarrel.
This made her look particularly happy.
The two people returned to the corridor entrance in the snow and went all the way to the fourth floor.
Li Luo sent her back to 402. After watching her walk into the bedroom, he thought for a moment and then walked to the bathroom. He took out the footbath that Ying Chanxi usually used and filled it with hot water.
"Eh? What are you doing?"
After Ying Chanxi returned to the bedroom, he covered his frozen feet under the quilt and squeezed them with his hands, trying to The feet are warmed.
Then she saw Li Luo walking in with a footbath, and she was suddenly surprised.
“Let’s soak your feet and warm up your body, otherwise you’ll really catch a cold.” Li Luo put the footbath beside the bed, sat on the chair in front of the desk, and looked towards the Yingchan River. Waved, "Come here and test the water temperature."
"Oh." Ying Chanxi pursed her lips, tried hard to suppress the raised corners of her mouth, moved her butt to the bedside, and stretched out a white and tender Little feet, tested the water temperature.
Probably because he was really frozen, Ying Chanxi only felt warm and quickly put both feet into the hot water.
As a wave of heat surged up his spine along his feet and spread throughout his body, Ying Chanxi immediately let out a comfortable sigh and lay back on the bed, feeling his toes gradually come to life and twisting in the water. A few times.
This feeling of being soaked in hot water, changing from a freezing state to a warm state, with a tingling sensation in the middle, is really relaxing for both body and mind.
Especially because the worries that had been held in his heart for several days were finally resolved, Ying Chanxi was in an unprecedented good mood.
She thought for a while, took out her mobile phone, clicked on the Qidian APP that she had just downloaded a few days ago, and found the book "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" by Li Luo, and planned to start from now on. Have a good read.
Li Luo was sitting on the chair bored, waiting for her to finish soaking her feet.
But when he saw her serious look on her face and looking at something on her phone with relish, she immediately asked with an alert look on her face: "What are you looking at?"
"You "It's a novel." Ying Chanxi blinked innocently, "Didn't you say you could read it? I have to see what you wrote about me."
"..." The corner of Li Luo's eyes. He twitched, and then reminded him seriously, "I still have to correct your statement. Although the character I wrote in the book is based on you, it does not mean that the character is you. Can you understand?"
Ying Chanxi didn’t listen to what he said in detail. He just grabbed the key words in an instant. Suddenly he remembered that he still had questions that he hadn’t asked. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are you talking about? Zhusheng, there won’t be anyone else, right?”
"Uh..."
"Just tell me, I won't be angry." Ying Chanxi shook his feet in the footbath, stepped on the water and said, "Aren't we already reconciled? ?"
"Okay." Li Luo coughed twice, and then said, "In addition to you and Zhusheng, there are also seniors. Of course, some other supporting characters are also based on acquaintances around them, such as Zhao Rongjun. "
"Really?" Ying Chanxi couldn't help but ask, "So senior sister also knew that you were writing a novel? Did Zhao Rongjun already know it?" "Zhao Rongjun doesn't know." Li Luo waved his hand, "As for the senior sister...well...I only know a little bit earlier than you."
"How long is a little bit?"
"Um..." Thinking that she had to keep her novel writing a secret from her senior sister, Li Luo had no choice but to say, "You don't know how coincidental it was during the symposium."
"Writers Association Among the guests invited there was my senior’s father. Do you remember? Her father is a professor of literature at Qianjiang University.”
“As a result, he was invited to this symposium. I was recognized immediately, and then the senior sister also found out about it... It was really force majeure."
After hearing this, Ying Chanxi nodded in understanding and did not get angry again. meaning.
After all, it seems now that Li Luo's exposure of his novel writing to others was basically a passive exposure that he had no choice but to do without his own control.
Thinking about it this way, Ying Chanxi didn’t mind.
"Are you done soaking?" Li Luo looked at the time and stretched out his hand to feel the temperature of the water. "It's a bit cold already. Please wipe your feet."
As he said that, he He handed over the towel that Ying Chanxi usually used to wipe his feet.
But Ying Chanxi had no intention of getting up. He was still lying on the bed, looking at his mobile phone and lifting his feet with a smile: "You wipe it for me, I'm reading a novel."< br>
Li Luo looked at the white and tender feet in front of him, whose skin looked like freshly cooked eggs, and sighed slightly: "There is really nothing I can do about you."
As he said that, he picked up the With a towel, he held her heel with his other hand and wiped it carefully for her.
After wiping her left foot, she switched to her right foot. Then he patted her two snow-white feet and asked her to quickly retract her feet into the bed.
"Okay, go to bed early." Li Luo picked up the footbath and went to the bathroom to empty it. Then he returned to Ying Chanxi's bedroom and said to Ying Chanxi on the bed, "It's already very late. Tomorrow You still have to go shopping for the New Year, why don’t you read it now?”
“I know, I’ll go to bed after reading this chapter,” Ying Chanxi said as she huddled in bed, then waved to him. "You should go back to sleep too."
"Go to bed after reading this chapter." Li Luo walked out of the bedroom and gave her one last reminder before closing the door to her.
"Yeah, good night~"
"Good night."
