Chapter 6: The Lost Light 05
Yu Qianlin, who returned to the new city with Wen Shu, had a smile on his face that he couldn't suppress.
The next morning, after having breakfast with Wen Shu, he dragged his "sick body" out to work. Before leaving, he asked Wen Shu what he planned to do during the day.
Wen Shu thought for a moment and said, "Call Qi Qianchen back, and then make a draft or something."
Yu Qianlin frowned and became jealous: " Why did you call him?" He had just been brought back from Xuancheng, and he couldn't be taken away by that Qi Qianchen again!
Although Wen Shu was helpless, he still explained seriously: "Official business! It's about "Broken Wings"."
"Oh well."
Wen Shu just found it funny. Why did he look so aggrieved, like a young wife pretending to be generous?
After returning from Xincheng yesterday, Yu Qianlin's eyes full of joy and love entangled her all night. Before, she would subconsciously avoid such gazes, but now that the relationship has been confirmed , she has made up her mind. No matter whether she left him for six years because of inferiority and guilt or lack of confidence in their relationship, as long as the two of them are still together and living the life they want, it is enough.
As for the future...she wanted to learn to rely on Yu Qianlin first.
When I opened the door, I happened to run into the neighbor's elder sister who was sending her child to school. She had always felt . Seeing the two of them standing at the door, she took the initiative to greet them, "Xiao Yu, are you going out?"
Yu Qianlin nodded: "Yes."
The eldest sister smiled and praised: "You two have such a good relationship! You are a talented man and a beautiful woman."
Both of us paused in breathing. You looked at me, I looked at you, and then we quickly looked away, ignoring our pounding hearts.
When the eldest sister saw the two people's shy behavior, she smiled knowingly and took the child into the elevator.
"Wait a moment!" Yu Qianlin turned around and quickly said to Wen Shu, "I'm leaving first," then slipped into the elevator.
In the elevator, the elder sister said again: "Xiao Yu, I'm sorry for what happened last time. I wrongly blamed your girlfriend."
Yu Qianlin didn't answer, but suddenly smiled again: "It's okay, we are all neighbors."
"That's good." After the misunderstanding was resolved, the eldest sister started gossiping, "You have been dating for a few years, when are you getting married?"
Yu Qianlin was helpless. Why were there so many people urging him to get married? Just then, the elevator door opened with a ding. He quickly said, "Sister, I'm leaving first!"
"Hey! Be careful on the road." Looking at Yu Qianlin's fleeing figure, the elder sister muttered, "It's still early, and you won't be late for work! Why are you walking so fast?"
Yu Qianlin sat in the car and saw from the rearview mirror that his expression was smiling and his lips were curled up. He looked like a young boy who was just beginning to fall in love. Thinking of this, he rubbed his nose shyly, forgetting that strictly speaking, he was not much older than the young boy. Perhaps because he had experienced too many things, he thought that his state of mind had reached a very mature stage.
Just now, after hearing what the neighbor lady said, he suddenly realized that to outsiders, they had already been a couple, but he had not allowed them to really confirm their relationship until yesterday.
After Yu Qianlin left, Wen Shu's face was still hot for a long time. She ran to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water, and then she felt better. She looked at the time and remembered that she still had something important to do, so she put away her idle thoughts and didn't think about anything else.
It was still early, so Wen Shu turned on his mobile phone and prepared to browse the Weibo messages.
Recently, her comic book "Broken Wings" about child trafficking has been updated online in full swing, and it has quickly attracted a large number of people's attention. Her number of fans has also increased rapidly. Every day, countless people send her private messages, asking her to finish the comic book quickly and let the children in the story go home.
She had a selfish motive when she chose this name. In her opinion, all children who have suffered are angels with broken wings and deserve to be treated better, just like Yu Qianlin. So despite the tearful pleas from netizens, she still updated the name according to the original plan and did not make any changes.
She doesn't want "Broken Wings" to be just a flash in the pan, to be forgotten after being read. She hopes that it will touch the hearts of every reader and leave a mark in their hearts.
Only when you have truly experienced pain will you not easily forget it.
She clicked on the comments as usual, and because of the subject matter, the comment section had completely turned into a battlefield. But this time it was a bit unexpected, it turned out to be an internal conflict?
"Check in. I've fainted in the toilet."
"I want to write a letter in blood, asking you to send the children home as soon as possible!"
"It turns out that the character design and story of "Broken Wings" are not as exciting as before."
"Objectively speaking, the subject matter is good, but the story is terrible."
"Fake fans, get out!"
…………
After reading these comments, Wen Shu updated another episode. Just a few minutes after logging out of Weibo, his phone showed a call from Qi Qianchen.
She hesitated for a few seconds and finally pressed the answer button: "Editor-in-chief?"
"Wan Shu, I saw you just updated "Broken Wings" again."
"Editor-in-chief, you..." Although Qi Qianchen's tone was light, he did not sound as opposed as before, which made Wen Shu a little unsure of how to respond.
"I was too prejudiced before. I read your story from the beginning, and it is really good."
"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief."
"No need." Qi Qianchen paused, "It's like this, someone is willing to publish "Broken Wings" for a high price, but the prerequisite is that you must delete all Weibo posts related to "Broken Wings" and stop updating from today."
Wen Shufu was of course very happy to hear that Broken Wings could be published, but when he heard Qi Qianchen's request, he suddenly felt depressed: "If you want to do it to this extent, I don't agree."
Qi Qianchen softened his tone and persuaded: "Wenshu, don't be impulsive. This is such a good opportunity! Since so many people are following the novel online and it is so popular, there will be no worries about sales. And the other party also said that if you are not satisfied with the profit-sharing model, we can discuss it again!" Qi Qianchen couldn't understand Wenshu. It was obviously a good thing for her, but she refused.
Wen Shu stood firm: "I understand what you mean, but Broken Wings is a public welfare book, and I don't expect it to bring me anything. Don't you think the other party's request is too much? I know that doing so will make the book sell better, but this is not in line with my original intention, so I don't agree, no matter how much money it costs!"
"Wen Shu, you are too naive. If the work can't make money, what's the point?"
Wen Shu asked him in disbelief: "Is money so important?"
Qi Qianchen realized that he had said something wrong and quickly adjusted his tone: "That's not what I meant. I just want you to think about it more."
"No need!" Wen Shu answered firmly, leaving no room for maneuver.
Qi Qianchen took a deep breath for a few seconds, paused, and then said, "I hope you won't regret it."
"No." Wen Shu had never felt so calm before. After hanging up the phone, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Qi Qianchen did not force her to accept it.
Vaguely, Wen Shu felt that Qi Qianchen had changed, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't figure out why. She went to the balcony to enjoy the cool breeze for a while before returning to her room.
Twenty minutes had passed since she updated her Weibo, and she opened it to read readers' comments.
Unlike most of the usual comments that discuss the specific content of the comic, I don’t know who started the conversation by saying that “Broken Wings” would be discontinued, so most of the current comments are asking whether Wenshu’s “Broken Wings” will be discontinued due to publication.
Wen Shu smiled bitterly, thinking back to what Qi Qianchen had just said. After thinking about it, she simply posted a statement on Weibo:
Thank you for your support and love for "Broken Wings". I solemnly promise:
1. "Broken Wings" will not be discontinued due to any reason.
2. "Broken Wings" is of a public welfare nature and will never be published for the purpose of making money.
3. "Broken Wings" is a very clean work, and I hope everyone will truly like it.
Once the statement was released, it was instantly forwarded over 10,000 times, and netizens had different opinions.
"Ahhh! Big support!"
"You are right, this is a clean work, some people should just go away!"
"As a public figure, you are actually trying to stir up trouble and turn fans into haters!"
"It seems like they are not going to listen to our advice and return to girls' comics. +1 for turning from fans to haters."
"Big brother, we support you! From a small Yuanyuan."
Yuanyuan laughed while reviewing her homework. Did she finish her homework? She was originally feeling depressed because of the internal conflict among fans, but Zhou Yuanyuan's mischief instantly brightened her mood.
If they are compatible, they will come together. If they are not compatible, they will go apart. This is a fact that she cannot change.
Sometimes, people still need to follow their hearts!
