Ming Shu didnât dare to let Chu Hui go out like this. Hence, she had to go out herself and even bought him some outerwear on the way back.
âYou need to pay me back,â Ming Shu said angrily.
âYou are a nice big sister.â
â...ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBig Sister, do you live alone?â
âNope.â
Chu Hui scanned his surroundings. He asked curiously, âThere are other people here?â
He didnât see any products for males.
Ming Shu smiled brightly. âYes.â
âWho is it?â
Ming Shu pointed to the tortoise that was lying on its shell.
Chu Hui: â...â
âI didnât expect you to be raising a tortoise. Other people raise cats and dogs. Why did you choose to raise a tortoise?â
Ming Shu packed up her things and stood up. She looked down on Chu Hui and said, âIt is delicious.â
Chu Hui: ???
Chu Hui and Gold Ingot stared at each other.
Gold Ingot wiggled its short legs. Let me turn around!
Chu Hui stayed at Ming Shuâs house for a few days due to his illness. He realized that Ming Shu didnât have any regular schedule at all. She just did what she wanted. Sometimes, she would be awake the whole night writing and sometimes, she would laze around for a day.
Sometimes, she would fiddle around with Gold Ingot for an hour.
But, no matter what she did, she always had snacks with her.
The things she said were also extremely irritating. It made people want to beat her to death.
...
Ming Shu had her legs propped up as she looked at the snow. She wondered when the snow would stop. She wanted to go out and have fun.
The snow didnât stop her passion for snacks, though.
It did, however, stop the shop ownersâ passion and they closed their shops for the whole day. Where was she supposed to get food? Was she going to survive on air?
So angry.
Silverfish: Hey.
Silverfish sent her a message.
M: What?
Silverfish: Why did you change your name?
M: Is that any of your business?
Silverfish: Canât I just ask about it?
M: No.
Silverfish: When are you launching your new book?
M: Not launching.
Silverfish: Why not?
M: It is snowing.
Silverfish: ???
What does snow have to do with writing a new book?
Ming Shu returned to the chat screen. Most of the group chats had 99+ messages. She scanned through the messages.
The guru group chats were all talking about the annual meeting.
Ming Shu was not interested in the annual meeting but someone mentioned Lin Yuxin. She needed to give some notice to her little cutie.
Ming Shu clicked into the chat.
The Cold Wind: Lin Yuxin is going to the annual meeting. I saw the photo of her invitation in another group chat.
Feng Miaomiao: Her last two novels were extremely popular. It is normal for her to be invited. However, after her issue with Guru Wei Ran, she became quite lowkey for this period of time. I heard that she is finishing up her current novel and is preparing to write a new one. Her speed is amazing.
Gu Tangtang: I am so jealous of people who write fast.
Walk Past Heaven: There will be many gurus attending the annual meeting. Maybe I can even see Ice Lake Snow.
Hei Xi: Guru Ice Lake Snow is going too?
The Cold Wind: Ice Lake Snow didnât come last year.
M: Whether Ice Lake Snow is going or not, it has nothing to do with all of you. Stop daydreaming. Go and bathe and sleep.
No one talked in the groupchat for a while.
Around 30 seconds later, someone sent a message.
Mumu: Wei Ran, what do you mean?
M: I am trying to offend you all.
Mumu: ...
Hei Xi: Guru Wei Ran, are you going a little overboard. We didnât provoke you.
They were just talking among themselves when she popped out and said something so offensive.
M: I just want to offend all of you. What can I do? I canât control myself. Why donât you all hate me?
Come on, give me more Hatred Points!
Ming Shu acknowledged it so blatantly that no one knew what to reply.
Feng Miaomiao: Erm, what are you all wearing during the event? Last year, I wore the same clothes as someone else. It was so awkward.
If they couldnât reply to her, they could just change the topic.
M: The best way is to not go at all. Then, you will not need to worry about clashing with someone.
No matter what the people in the group said, Ming Shu was able to talk back in some way or another. Everyone wanted to beat her to death.
Ming Shu went to all the group chats and left her mark.
After everyone said that she was crazy, she went offline in satisfaction.
...
Since the company was at the city Ming Shu was staying at, the editor just gave her an address. The editor was probably planning to give her the rest of the materials after she arrived.
Since her snacks coupon was coming, Ming Shu definitely needed to go.
âYouâre going out.â
âYes.â
âWhen are you coming back?â
Ming Shu glanced at him. Chu Hui looked at her obediently. She couldnât sense anything amiss from his expression.
âIâll come back at night.â
Chu Huiâs smile got brighter. âIâll wait for you to come back.â
Ming Shu felt that Chu Huiâs smile was weird. âIf you donât want me to tell your brother, be more obedient.â
Chu Hui: â...â
Ming Shu smiled brightly and left.
Ming Shu took a taxi to the hotel. She needed her invitation to enter the place so she waited for White lemon outside.
âIs that Lin Yuxin? Sheâs beautiful...â
âShe is beautiful. I heard that Guru Ri Mu Chang Jiang is chasing her.â
âReally?â
âI donât know. I heard it from other people.â
Lin Yuxin was secretly elated as people discussed her. Her eyes lit up with arrogance.
Lin Yuxin saw Ming Shu and walked over voluntarily. âSenior Wei Ran, are you waiting for someone?â
Her voice was still as delicate as ever. It seemed as though nothing happened between Ming Shu and her.
Ming Shu glanced around. No one noticed them. She smiled and replied, âIâm waiting for you.â
âWaiting for me?â Lin Yuxin was surprised. âIs there anything you need to tell me?â
âYes, come with me.â Ming Shu reached out and grabbed her elbow. She brought her to the washroom in the hotel lobby.
âSenior Wei Ran...â Lin Yuxin almost from fell when Ming Shu grabbed her. She was worried. However, there were many people around so she couldnât struggle. Most importantly, Ming Shu was too strong.
There was no one in the washroom. Ming Shu pushed Lin Yuxin in.
Lin Yuxin looked around. She was on her guard. âSenior Wei Ran... what do you want to tell me?â
âDo you think that I will just let the matter go?â
Lin Yuxinâs heart dropped.
Her eyes turned dark but she still wore a timid look on her face. âSenior Wei Ran... that matter was Meteor Rainâs doing. I thought that she was my friend. I didnât expect her to do this.â
âYou can fool other people but you canât fool me,â Ming Shu said. âDo you think that I am as stupid as others?â
Lin Yuxin crumbled her clothes tightly. Her expression seemed uncomfortable. âSenior Wei Ran, I am speaking the truth...â
âEven if you are speaking the truth, I will still beat you.â
Lin Yuxin: !?
Beat her?!
Is she crazy?
Lin Yuxin was pushed into a cubicle. She sat on the toilet bowl. The cold made her shiver.
She shrunk back instinctively and stammered, âDonât come over. Itâs against the law to assault someone.â
She dared to...
This is a hotel.
âTell me about it. I just need to pay some fines, right?â Ming Shu stood at the entrance of the cubical with a smile on her face. âI have money anyway.â
The money from selling the film copyrights was enough for her to play with.
Lin Yuxin knew that Ming Shu really wanted to hit her. She got up quickly and made to rush out.
âDonât be in such a hurry.â Ming Shu pushed her back easily.
âWei Ran!â
Lin Yuxin got agitated. She called the Hostâs full name. Her expression changed. Anger appeared on her face.
Ming Shu tilted her head and smiled gently.
