After Being Bent by Reader

Since Murong Shi took over the company, the company's performance has been getting better day by day, the benefits have been improved, and everyone's workload has increased. In previous years, the annual leave was nearly half a month, and this year there are only eight days. Xu Chuanchuan returned to the county as soon as he was on holiday.

Dad Xu still didn’t give her a good face as usual, Xu Chuanchuan bit his scalp and greeted him. Dad Xu gave her a faint look, then faintly responded, and said: "Your mom makes dumplings and puts them in the refrigerator. You will be yourself when you are hungry. Cook some."

This was the first time that Xu's father took the initiative to speak to her since the Cold War. Xu Chuanchuan was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He called to tell Murong Shi the good news that night.

Murong Shi was also happy when she heard it, and asked her: "When does your family go to visit relatives?"

"The second to the third grade."

"Then I go to your house on the fourth day of the junior high school?"

Before coming out of the closet with her family, Xu Chuanchuan had considered bringing Murong Shi home to see her parents during the Chinese New Year. She was very willing to come, but because of Xu's father's current attitude, she was afraid that Murong Shi would be wronged.

"My dad is still the same."

"Then I will go even more."

On New Year's Eve, every family set off fireworks and firecrackers, which is full of flavor. Xu's father, Xu's mother and grandpa and grandma Zhang watched the Spring Festival Gala in the living room, Xu Xiangxiang secretly broadcast live in the room, and Xu Chuanchuan locked the door and video of Murong poems.

The curtains were not drawn, Murong Shi saw the gorgeous fireworks outside from the video and said: "I haven't set off fireworks in nearly 20 years."

While talking, Xu Xiangxiang knocked on the door of her room: "Sister, do you want to set off the fireworks together? Yuanyuan and Quanquan are waiting below."

Yuanyuan and Quan are all daughters and sons of Xu Chuanchuan's cousin, and two bear children. Xu Chuanchuan thinks they are too noisy and rarely takes them to play. But Xu Xiangxiang is very carefree, and can play with anyone.

Xu Chuanchuan was too lazy to move, and said, "I'm not going anymore, you guys can play. Be safe."

Dismissed Xu Xiangxiang, Xu Chuanchuan continued to video with Murong Poems. Thinking of Murong Shi's coming to be a guest at home in a few days, Xu Chuanchuan's head was so sad that he discussed with her how to deal with it.

Xu Ma’s current attitude is neither support nor opposition, as long as they concentrate on pleasing Xu Dad.

Early in the morning on the first day of the new year, Xu Chuanchuan woke up without waiting for Xu's mother to hit the door. After washing up, she took three big red packets out for breakfast and handed two of them to her parents.

The money is not much, it is Xu Chuanchuan's year-end bonus that doubles one month's salary. She doesn't keep a single point and divides it into three red envelopes for her parents and grandfather.

Xu Ma took a look and said, "You gave us 30,000 yuan last time when you came back, so you don't have to give that much this time."

Xu Chuanchuan smiled and said: "We will be paid in a few days after taking leave. These are for your honor."

After learning about her novel, Xu’s mother knew that she was a little bit of money, so she no longer refused, put the red envelopes away, and said to the silent Xu dad: “Seeing your daughter is so filial, don’t behave like this. He has a bad face."

Dad Xu didn’t say anything. He didn’t pick up the thick red envelope until breakfast was over and said, “No matter how rich other people’s homes are, you must be careful not to take advantage of others to avoid being looked down upon. I have paid my family for a month, so you should save some for yourself."

Xu Ma said this the last time he went home, but Xu Chuanchuan sounded a different feeling at the moment. The sound of firecrackers outside came one after another, and on such a festive day, she suddenly wanted to cry.

Dad Xu didn't say it explicitly, but Xu Chuanchuan knew that the "other" in his mouth was suggesting Murong Shi. He spoke vaguely, but his tone was obviously softened.

Is this a compromise?

I'm afraid it's not that fast. But since Dad Xu is willing to say so much, Xu Chuanchuan thinks optimistically: at least Dad is still reluctant to accept her.

Later, Xu's mother also said: "Your dad is a bit stubborn with a stinky temper, how could he be cruel to deny you."

In fact, Dad Xu loved her very much when she was young, but after Xu Xiangxiang was born, the family's financial pressure became heavy and Dad Xu became busy and had to ignore her. Dad Xu is not good at words, but his love for her Xu Chuanchuan is in mind. It was precisely because of caring that she felt so uncomfortable in her heart during the cold war between Dad Xu and her.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Chuanchuan went downstairs early in the morning to meet Murong Shi. The two people miss each other a little after they haven't seen each other for a few days, but they dare not get too close due to the occasion.

Xu Chuanchuan helped her get her bag: "Are you nervous?"

Murong Shi smiled softly and said, "A little bit."

Xu Chuanchuan pretended to be surprised: "Are you also nervous?"

Murong Shi sighed, "I feel nervous every time I see your parents. I didn't sleep well last night."

Xu Chuanchuan noticed the dark circles under her eyes and hugged her.

The most embarrassing thing about Murong Shi’s arrival was Dad Xu. He wanted to sneak out, but was caught by Xu’s mother. He said, “Xiao Shi is a guest and brought you so many gifts. Coming over so far, you can’t make a stir-fry for a treat?"

These housework are usually contracted by Xu's mother. The reason she said this is just to remind Xu's father to show some affection.

Dad Xu hesitated, took off his shoes, and went into the kitchen muffled.

That day's lunch was all made by Xu's father. Although it was just home cooking, Murong Shi felt that it was more delicious than the chef in a five-star hotel. She graciously praised: "Uncle, your craftsmanship is really good."

Dad Xu said with an unnatural expression: "There is no good food, eat more if it is delicious."

"Thank you uncle."

Fortunately, Xu Ma was still enthusiastic. She pointed to a bamboo shoot with fried bacon and said: "I dug this bamboo shoot myself. This bacon is our Sichuan specialty. You can try it."

Murong Shi took a bite and was full of praise.

"I have made a lot of bacon this year, and you will bring some to your parents when you go back."

"Thank you auntie."

Murong Shi stayed in Xu's house until the day before the company took leave, Xu Chuanchuan took her around the county town.

Because it was too exciting, Murong Shi forgot to report the situation to his family, and Murong Mingshu called in anxiously: "What is the attitude of Chuanchuan's parents to you? Isn't it going well? If it really doesn't work, Aunt Lian and I will go there in person. Come on? I think it might be easier to communicate with the elders."

Murong Shi couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "You just need to get my dad done. We will do the business ourselves."

As a parent, Sun An was the last to know about the two of them.

It was the eighth day of the day when I went back to work, and in the evening Xu Chuanchuan and Murong Shi went back to her home to pay their old age.

Sun An is also there. When eating, Xu Chuanchuan felt that Sun An's eyes looked weird when she looked at her. People who usually talk very little actually asked her about her parents. Xu Chuanchuan answered truthfully, feeling strange in his heart.

After returning to the room, Murong Shi told her that Sun An already knew what they were together, so he asked in such detail just now.

Xu Chuanchuan was surprised.

It turned out that Murong Mingshu found a chance to confess to Sun An when they returned to the county seat. No one knows what the couple said specifically, but judging from Sun An's attitude today, he can accept it. Regardless of reluctance, at least he didn't say anything against it.

"In this way, your father is not as unreasonable as you said." Xu Chuanchuan still remembers that Murong Shi was slapped by Sun An.

"After all, it's my mother's credit."

Xu Chuanchuan was confused.

"Since my brother died, my dad has been very guilty of my mom, and he will listen no matter what my mom says." Murong Shi paused and looked at her, "The person my mom likes, he must like it too."

At this point, both parents have finally settled.

No worries, Xu Chuanchuan can concentrate on codewords. She went to work during the day and went back to catch up the manuscript at night. She had a very fulfilling life.

Afraid of delaying the publication process, Rosa asked her to finish "After Being Bent by Readers" within a month, and Xu Chuanchuan did not dare to slack off.

After working hard for a month, Xu Chuanchuan sent the previously published manuscript to Rosa in the form of a document, adding the content written later, totaling a total of 500,000 words.

Half a year later, the Taiwanese traditional version of the novel "After Being Bent by a Reader" was officially launched. Xu Chuanchuan asked the publisher to give her a few more sets as a gift to some of her best friends, and she kept a copy for herself. commemorate.

In addition to preparations for publication, Xu Chuanchuan has finished writing another novel in the past six months. Although his achievements are not as good as the previous one, he has made considerable profits.

A lot of things have happened in the past six months, most of them are trivial things, but there is one thing that Xu Chuanchuan remembers deeply.

Xu Xiangxiang learned of her pen name by accident and secretly downloaded the serial article on APP chasing her. After reading the update every day, she asked her about the next chapter on WeChat, which made Xu Chuanchuan very helpless.

Once annoyed by questioning, Xu Chuanchuan threw the written outline of the story to her. After reading the outline, Xu Xiangxiang knew the direction and ending of the story, completely lost interest in the novel, and never bothered her again.

Xu Xiangxiang and Xiao Yan still have a good relationship. When they are bored, they will go out shopping. If it is the weekend, Xiao Yan will invite her to eat at home.

Xiao Yan's room is almost all pink, and you can smell the sweet fruit scent as soon as you enter it, which is full of girlish air. Xu Xiangxiang was very envious, and said, "I will be rich in the future, and I will decorate my room like you."

Xiao Yan was silent but smiled.

The two were tired from shopping and lay on the bed and played with their phones.

Xiao Yan thought she was playing a game, so she came over and took a look: "You also read novels? What did you read?"

Xu Xiangxiang's big mouth told Xiao Yan about Xu Chuanchuan's writing of the novel.

After listening, Xiao Yan said with a look of admiration: "Quan Chuan is amazing!"

"It's pretty, do you want to watch it together?"

"Okay, okay." Xiao Yan said enthusiastically, but gave up after reading a few chapters, "No, I feel so awkward."

"The two girls are sweet and soft, don't you think they are very loving?"

Xiao Yan smiled politely and said, "...I'll continue to watch my Tanmei."

Xu Xiangxiang couldn't understand why Xiao Yan liked to watch two men fall in love. She tried to read the article Xiao Yan recommended, but she couldn't bear it. Xu Chuanchuan wrote that she read with gusto, and couldn't sleep without reading it every night.

After reading three books in a row, Xu Xiangxiang suddenly found that something was wrong with him.

She has been distracted in class recently, always thinking of the sultry scenes described in the novel in her mind. She imagined that she became one of the heroines, and that the other heroine was replaced by her in Xiaoyan's face, and she felt that there was no violation. She can even make up for the scenes of her hugging Xiao Yan and kissing even those cryptic intimacy scenes. Thinking of the girl's room full of fruits and sweet smell, she was a little curious if Xiao Yan's mouth was so sweet...

As soon as this thought came up, Xu Xiangxiang was so frightened that she did not dare to look at her cellphone.

Suddenly one day, Xu Xiangxiang couldn't help but find Xu Chuanchuan on WeChat: "Sister, I seem to be bent."

Xu Chuanchuan: "What did you say???"

Xu Xiangxiang: "After reading your novel, I seem to be bent...always want to have a girlfriend."

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."

Xu Xiangxiang: "I said, if I confessed to Xiao Yan, would she agree?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "..............."

Unfortunately, before Xu Xiangxiang could speak, Xiao Yan ran over to look for her and said shyly, "Xiangxiang, our party secretary invited me to watch a movie last night. He...he confessed to me, and I have promised to be him. girlfriend."

"..." Xu Xiangxiang only felt like a bolt from the blue.

The budding goodwill was so easily killed by Xiao Yan with a single sentence, Xu Xiangxiang was very sad, and ran to find Xu Chuanchuan and cried for a long time.

Xu Chuanchuan felt distressed and helpless, and comforted her for a long time.

After Xu Xiangxiang left, Xu Chuanchuan self-examined and felt that it was his fault. Knowing this would happen, she closed her waistcoat tightly so Xu Xiangxiang could not see it. Now Xu Xiangxiang is also bent like her, is this okay?

Thinking about it, she thought it was ridiculous. It was obvious that Xu Xiangxiang liked boys before, how could he bend after reading her three novels?

Murong Shi disagreed, and said, "You can bend yourself, why can't she bend herself?"

"..." Xu Chuanchuan was speechless.

In the past six months, An Ji has been staying in Shanghai. Although they couldn't meet each other, Xu Chuanchuan still kept in touch with her as before.

The first physical novel sold well, after which Xu Chuanchuan successfully signed the second one. She has little experience in publishing, and An Ji has given her a lot of help.

Xu Chuanchuan suddenly thought of something: "The editor sent me a message in the morning, saying that I would go to this year's author conference. I still hesitate to go."

An Ji: "Why don't you go for such a good opportunity?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "Then why didn't you go in previous years?"

An Ji: "Lazy [Tan Shou]"

Xu Chuanchuan: "If you go, I'll go. I don't know other authors, and I don't know what to do if I go alone."

An Ji: "Let's be together then. I haven't seen you in half a year, weird."

There are not many great gods among Lily authors, and Xu Chuan series can’t even reach the little gods. If she is based solely on the reader base, she is not qualified to participate in the author’s conference. The reason why she was invited is that she has achieved very good results in two recent novels Yes, they have signed the entity again, and the editor is very optimistic about her.

The matter of attending the author conference was so decided.

When it came time, Xu Chuanchuan asked her: "How long have you not seen Fang Qin?"

An Ji: "It's almost a month."

Xu Chuanchuan: "Are you tired from long-distance dating?"

An Ji did not answer.
