Chapter 43: A Dream Come True

After a few days of warmth, Scarlett leaned lazily in Lin Weidong's arms, looked up at the stars in the sky, and sighed softly: "The night sky is so beautiful tonight..."

Lin Weidong couldn't help but raise his head and admired the brilliant and pure night with the accompaniment of unknown insects.

Shortly after taking a shower, Scarlett's hair was a little wet, the air had the faint fragrance of shampoo and the unique smell of Scarlett.

Smelling the faint fragrance of Scarlett and inexplicable feelings rippled on her body, Lin Weidong asked, "Scarlett, can we find time to sleep in the hotel outside?"

"Don't get me wrong. I don't want to do something bad, I just want to sleep in the same bed with you, without any distractions, and I will never touch you."

Wang Sica knew the elegance when she heard the string song. Of course, she could hear Lin Weidong's sweet words, but she still pretended to be confused and asked knowingly: "Why do you have to sleep in the same bed?"

Lin Weidong paused and said seriously: "Do you still remember the TV series "Legend of the New Year's Lady"? There is a lyric in the theme song "Feed Love" that impressed me very deeply."

People like Wang Sica Wang must have watched "The Legend of the New White Snake" when they were young, so they asked with great interest: "Which lyrics are you?"

Lin Weidong pondered: "I have been able to cross the same boat in ten years, and I have been able to sleep together after a hundred years."

Before Wang Sicao answered, Lin Weidong continued: "So I always wonder, if we can sleep in the same bed in this life, does it mean that we have been practicing for a hundred years in our previous life?"

"Scarlett, don't think I'm lying to you. What I said is really what I'm saying. I admit that I do want to sleep with you, but I just slept with you..."

Although she knew that Lin Weidong had other plans, Scarlett was inevitably moved when he saw that he was sincere. She held Lin Weidong's hand tightly, leaned her face against his broad shoulders, and murmured shyly: "If...you really want it... maybe...I will promise you...but it depends on your performance..."

Lin Weidong said overjoyed: "How do you want me to perform?"

Scarlett buried his face in Lin Weidong's arms and said shyly: "I don't know, you think about it yourself."

Lin Weidong nodded with understanding, paused, and then said, "By the way, Scarlett, I'm going to Shanghai next month."

Upon hearing the news, she raised her head and asked in confusion: "What are you doing in Shanghai?"

Lin Weidong said seriously: "Do you remember the banyan tree that I mentioned to you? The editor-in-chief of the banyan tree invited me to participate in the first online original competition, I want to go."

Wang Sijiacai said: "Although you have the opportunity to make money by writing novels, it is not worth the money to delay your studies because of participating in competitions."

In fact, it is natural for Wang Sica to worry. After all, not everyone can become a writer these days, and it is rare to support themselves through writing.

In order to take care of Lin Weidong's face and emotions, Scarlett tried to slow down and said: "Dear, if you want to be a people's teacher in the future, you must study hard."

"And there is no conflict between writing and being a teacher. When you get the teacher qualification certificate, you have time to create."

Lin Weidong said confidently: "Don't worry, I will not affect my studies, I have my own sense of responsibility."

Scarlett nodded and said, "I'm just talking about the proposal, and it's up to you to decide in the end."

In order to allow "E.net Love Deep" to publish traditional Chinese books on Baodao as soon as possible, in the following two days, Lin Weidong would go to Red Ant Internet Cafe all night every night, and revise the novel wholeheartedly according to the requirements of Xinchang Publishing House.

However, the strictness of Baodao Xinchang Publishing House completely exceeded Lin Weidong's expectations.

After the third revision of "E.net Love Deep" was revised, the other party quickly gave the fourth round of opinions and asked Lin Weidong to continue to revise.

What Lin Weidong didn't expect was that the fourth and fifth times followed...

"I'm really sorry, I really don't want to modify it."

When Lin Weidong said this to the editor of Xinchang Publishing House on the phone, he was actually almost unable to hold on.

Over the past few days, he has even become a little dazed in his mind. He teaches in the classroom during the day and has to go on a date with Scarlett at night. After the appointment, he has to make time to go to Red Ant Internet Cafe to revise novels all night long. He is busy almost every moment.

Now I can't even do it even if I want to stay up late. Before one o'clock in the morning every day, Lin Weidong must have been sleeping soundly on the cashier.

Of course, the most outrageous thing is that while chatting with Wang Sica, Lin Weidong fell asleep on the chair and started snoring.

"Wei Dong, I have never opposed you when you write novels. This is your hobby, but you cannot affect your health by writing novels!"

"Look at how tired you are now, you can even doze off when you date me..."

Scarlett's worried words and her worried eyes prompted Lin Weidong to make up his mind and call the editor of Xinchang Publishing House.

He felt a little unwilling. After all, after modifying so many times and working so hard, he would inevitably have regrets if he gave up like this.

However, the editor's answer was simple: "Oh, okay."

After the phone was hung up, Lin Weidong felt lost, but he was also a little relaxed, and he finally didn't have to continue to change.

If you just write the stories you want to write every day, it is actually a very happy thing for a person who loves writing, but revising them every day is really a torture for Lin Weidong.

However, after thinking about it, Lin Weidong still didn't want to give up halfway, so he called Mr. Lan, the owner of Xinchang Publishing House, to ask him for his opinion and ask him if there is really no hope for the publication.

"Goucheng, that's it. We have carefully studied your book and you have revised it well. We have already started to prepare for publication. I will tell you now about the rewards of our publishing house."

Ah? Xinchang Publishing House is willing to publish it? Lin Weidong was stunned for a moment. The good news came too suddenly, so that he couldn't react for a while.

"Oh, okay, you said." Lin Weidong responded quickly.

Mr. Lan on the other end of the phone said seriously: "Because it is the first time you published it here, you can only give you a newcomer price. Our newcomer price is floating, usually between 3,000 and 4,000 yuan."

"We comprehensively evaluated it and thought that your book has great potential, so we decided to give you the highest price for a newcomer, which is 4,000 yuan per book. Can you accept it?"

"Accept, acceptable!"

For Lin Weidong now, it doesn’t matter how much the novel can be sold. The most important thing is to satisfy his wish for publishing, which is also a matter of mind, so he agreed almost without hesitation.

What's more, Xinchang Publishing House is not only willing to help publish, but also willing to spend 4,000 yuan to buy the traditional copyright, and Lin Weidong has no reason to refuse.

Mr. Lan said: "Okay, that's it. I'll ask the editor to send you the contract later. Tell me an account and the royalties can be called to you now."

"Can you pay the royalty if you haven't published or signed a contract?" Lin Weidong asked in disbelief.

Mr. Lan smiled and said, "Yes, this is our principle in Xinchang's work. If we decide to cooperate with an author, we will believe him. We also hope that in this way, we will lay the foundation for our trust for the next cooperation."

"You may not know that our Xinchang Publishing House is the largest publisher in Taiwan's book rental market. It publishes thousands of books every year, so you don't need to worry about the manuscript fee."

"This is how to pay for manuscript fees. As long as we make a verbal cooperation, we don't need to wait for publication or sign a contract, we will immediately pay the manuscript fee for your manuscript."

"Mr. Lan, thank you, thank you so much!" At this moment, Lin Weidong felt dizzy by the sudden huge sense of happiness.
