Chapter 21 About the Little Matter of Sister Su Xi's Blind Date
"Sister, do your parents often force you to go on blind dates?"
Cui Geng observed his expression and thought of some possibility.
"Yes."
Su Xi nodded, without any intention of covering up: "The reason why I ran out to live alone is, on the one hand, because my daily routine influences each other, and on the other hand, I also want to hide from them. Otherwise, they would arrange for blind dates to meet me every now and then, which would be very annoying."
It's really because of this.
Cui Geng looked at Su Xi who was gnawing ribs and asked carefully: "Sister, are you Gui Geng this year?"
Gui Geng?
Su Xi was stunned and looked at him with a squinted eyes: "Do you deserve a beating?"
In modern society, the word "Gui Geng" is generally used for middle-aged people, and girls are always a little sensitive to things like age.
"Well, just kidding."
Cui Geng asked again: "How old is sister?"
“22…year-old.”
Su Xi glanced at him: "I went to school early, I switched twice in the middle and skipped another level, so I graduated early."
twenty two?
Cui Geng was a little surprised: "Sister, do you have to go on blind dates every day when you are only 22 years old? Your family is very conscious of being prepared for danger in times of peace."
"What is blind dates every day?"
Su Xi was dissatisfied when she heard this and emphasized: "I'm talking about this kind of experience every few days, and it will take about one or two weeks to get it."
"OK."
Cui Geng nodded quickly: "I just didn't understand. Sister Su Xi is so beautiful, with a gentle personality and kind heart. Why does the family seem to be afraid that you can't get married?"
"You're just sweet-mouthed, right?"
Su Xi was praised and said helplessly: "It's my fault for saying this. When my cousin got married, my dad joked that it was my turn next time. Then I said that I was a non-marriager and had no plans to get married... In addition, I have never had a boyfriend since I was a child, so they suspected that I might have a problem with my sexual orientation, so..."
This led to a series of subsequent blind date plans.
All of this is the two elders suspected that their daughter had been “betrayed” and wanted to use this method to force Su Xi’s aesthetic back.
"Sister, have you never had a boyfriend since you were a child?"
Cui Geng looked at her, his strange eyes seemed to have discovered a new world.
“Is this the point?”
Su Xi curled her lips disapprovingly: "It's not that I am the only girl who has never had a boyfriend. I have a good girlfriend since I was a child, and she has never had a boyfriend. We are all unmarried people."
"Autumn bean sack!"
Cui Geng quickly interrupted her: "You mean you have a 'best friend' who has been 'someone since childhood', and he is also a non-marriager? Your family should also know about this, right?"
A few of the words are very biting.
He had already fully understood why Su Xi's family suspected that there was something wrong with her sexual orientation.
"You can shut up."
Su Xi already knew what he wanted to say, so she picked up a braised prawn with oil and said unhappyly: "Go to eat your meal!"
"Okay."
Cui Geng was afraid of poking her pain, so he stopped gossiping and buried himself in his head for a meal.
I ate quietly for a while.
Cui Geng observed the words and saw that she only ate braised pork trotters and pork ribs, but did not move the shrimps at all, so he asked, "Sister, do you need help peeling the shrimps?"
Su Xi's little hand with ribs was paused, and looked up at him, looking at him with eyes facing each other.
A few minutes later—
Cui Geng took out a small plate, peeled the shrimp with disposable gloves, and then pushed it to her, showing a smile: "It's because my little brother was not considerate and forgot to prepare the gloves."
If you braised prawns without wearing gloves, it will leave a lot of oil stains on your hands.
For a young lady like Su Xi who pays great attention to hand care and does not touch the water of her fingers, she would rather not eat shrimp than make it so troublesome.
"I think you did it on purpose."
Su Xi's cheeks were a little red, and she asked others to help peel shrimps... How could she say that, this was the first time she had enjoyed this kind of experience.
"Sister, are you really not considering downloading a codec software? The kind that can spell it together."
Cui Geng saw that the other party was in a happy mood, so he sent another invitation: "My hand speed has increased to nearly 5,000 words per hour, so it should not be much worse than you. Let's play together."
Things like spelling may be a nightmare for the author of turtle speed, but for the author of the tentacle monster and the "Eagle Speed" who is close to the level of the tentacle monster, it is a very pleasant enjoyment.
The Eagle Speed Strong people long for a refreshing "battle" with people, especially after a "battle", they can not only experience the pleasure of spelling, but also gain thousands or tens of thousands of words of manuscripts. This is all money... Bah, this is all love.
Cui Geng is not a real tentacle monster now. After all, his hand speed is only around 5,000 words. The authors who can be called tentacle monsters have at least 7,000 hand speeds. They only need one or two hours a day to easily complete the small goal of "10,000 per day".
Cui Geng now likes this feeling of constantly "becoming stronger".
Just so happened that he always felt that the hand speed of an old author like Su Xi must be particularly fast, so he really wanted to compete with the other party.
"Not considering it!"
Su Xi said firmly: "You have to remember that the most important thing in writing novels is not how fast you write, but how attractive the stories you create are. Hand speed is never the most important thing, don't fall into misunderstandings."
"I realized it!"
Cui Geng suddenly realized.
At this moment, he thought of the top master in a martial arts drama. As the number one master in the world and the number one swordsman, he pursued speed and sharpness at the beginning, and finally abandoned all martial arts, and realized the supreme realm of "heavy swords have no edges, great tricks are not craftsmanship", and took his martial arts to the next level.
Perhaps, Su Xi is such a person.
In her eyes, "hand speed" is nothing more than something that people trapped in the secular world value.
Su Xi:???
What have you realized?
She was a little speechless, feeling that since the other party wrote the novel, she was a little strange.
Forget it, let's have a meal first.
"By the way, when will your new book be released? Have you discussed it with Zhang Ning?"
Su Xi changed the topic while eating the peeled shrimp.
As we all know, online novels are to be put on the shelves, and readers spend money to subscribe, and then the author can get some meager income from them.
For commercial novels, this is also the only way to prove a book is successful or failed.
"I haven't communicated yet. After all, I just signed the contract and am still following the recommended PK process. There is no need to hurry to put it on the shelves."
Cui Geng shook his head: "I asked Zhang Ning before, and she said that she could prepare to be put on the shelves when the recommendation process is completed or if the PK fails. If I'm not too unlucky, it should be put on the shelves in June."
"oh."
Su Xi nodded thoughtfully: "Then remember to tell me before you put it on the shelves."
"Is there anything?"
Cui Geng was confused.
"You will know then."
Su Xi did not tell him the reason and kept it confidential for the time being.
Chapter completed!
