The breakfast plan was thus aborted.
As expected, Qiao Anchen worked overtime again this weekend, and Chu Yi didn't go out either. She's been quite busy lately. Her newly serialized comic is doing very well, with its data soaring since its publication and even generating a lot of discussion on various social media platforms.
While I was on vacation in Bali, a blogger with a small following posted screenshots of some very cute and sweet scenes from the comic "First Day of the Lunar New Year" on their Weibo account, expressing their excitement and praise.
Then it was suddenly reposted by a blogger with tens of millions of followers.
"Ahhhhh, what an amazing manga this is!!! My girlish heart, which died hundreds of years ago, has been revived."
This blogger is known for her sharp criticisms. She expresses her opinions on almost every social and current event. Although her words are harsh, strangely, they don't offend people and even make them feel that what she says makes a lot of sense. Every Weibo post gets a lot of comments, reposts and likes, and she has many die-hard fans.
Once this Weibo post was published, many people said they were convinced and even some well-known influencers reposted it.
She immediately gained a lot of attention, and her number of followers skyrocketed during those few days. She often received many private messages, but 80% of them were urging her to update more quickly.
Of course, many people confessed their feelings to her, but compared to others, the number was negligible.
Therefore, the editor even messaged her privately on the chat software, implying that she could update more frequently and that she should seize this rare opportunity from any perspective.
Before the first year of junior high school, her comic style was more serious, with characters and plots developing in a logical and conventional way. She even liked passionate sports and was keen on portraying brotherhood.
Every time she leaves the plot, the readers below protest in droves.
"Please, sir, let the children date!"
After all… compared to the carefully crafted plots at the beginning, everyone prefers to read the sweet romance vignettes she casually writes.
Chu Yi was deeply worried about this situation and felt sad and heartbroken that his talents were not being recognized.
The serialization of this new comic was quite casual. It happened around the time when Chu Yi and Qiao Anchen had finished their cold war and had confronted each other. Qiao Anchen changed his usual behavior and sent her boring text messages every day and watched random TV shows with her.
One day, when Chu Yi was drawing, he received a text message from him. For some reason, after reading it, he was stunned. A silly little man appeared in his mind, trying his best to please his wife but only able to use clumsy methods.
Chu Yi burst out laughing and wanted to record and preserve this scene. She changed the direction of her paintbrush and started working.
What started as a casual sketch quickly became an unstoppable momentum, so I simply added some plot elements and conceived a complete short story from beginning to end.
Compared to her previous works, it was too simple. Chu Yi originally just wanted to be a change of pace and it might be finished in a short time. Unexpectedly, it was very popular with readers on the first day of its release, and they all asked her to continue updating.
Chu Yi didn't expect this outcome, but since it was easy and effortless for him to draw, he continued to serialize it day by day until recently, when it suddenly became popular and its popularity skyrocketed, even showing signs of intensifying.
She felt she couldn't continue like this, so she diligently revised the outline of the comic and stopped working on it sporadically, instead sitting in front of the computer every day to draw carefully.
Of course, this little story has nothing to do with her and Qiao Anchen anymore. Art may originate from life, but life is always just a small trigger point. What truly supports the soul of the entire work is the art that is conceived.
The comic is called "My Girlish Heart" and tells the story of a lawyer with negative emotional intelligence who bravely pursues love.
In Chu Yi's eyes, everyone inside is a unique and special being.
Almost a month has passed in this busy routine. My life, filled with work, is monotonous every day and disappears in the blink of an eye. Looking back, it seems like I've done a lot of things, yet it also seems like I haven't done anything at all.
On Friday, Chu Yi suddenly received a text message from Qiao Anchen. It was the name of a restaurant, saying that he had made a reservation and that Chu Yi could just go there when the time came.
Chu Yi was puzzled and replied, "Aren't you working overtime today? Why did you suddenly decide to go out to eat?"
Qiao Anchen quickly replied, "No need. I have the day off tomorrow. We haven't gone out to eat together in a long time."
Chu Yi thought about it and realized that it made sense. After returning from Bali, the two of them had been busy with their own things and hadn't gone out together for a while.
After making an appointment with Qiao Anchen, she put down her phone, immediately finished her work, pushed back her chair, and eagerly ran to the wardrobe to pick out a dress.
When the first day of the lunar new year was over, Qiao Anchen had already arrived. Today he was wearing a very formal suit, a dark blue plaid suit with a double-breasted, slim-fit cut. He looked more refined and even had a touch of nobility than usual.
Moreover, even her hair looked meticulously styled, and she was like a pearl that had been washed clean of dust, completely unconcealing her beauty and standing there dazzlingly.
Chu Yi looked at himself and secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, she had checked the restaurant beforehand and found it to be a high-end Western restaurant, so she chose a black suspender Chanel-style dress to match.
Qiao Anchen stood beside her seat and pulled out a chair for her. Chu Yi sat down and looked at him with some displeasure.
Why are you dressed like this all of a sudden today?
Qiao Anchen paused in spreading out the napkin, seemingly flustered. "What's wrong?"
"I don't think it suits you very well," Chu Yi said seriously. "You should stick to wearing your old-fashioned, conservative suits from now on. Be more proper."
"Isn't it pretty?" Qiao Anchen paused after listening and asked her. Chu Yi muttered softly.
"It's just too beautiful..." So beautiful that she didn't want anyone else to see it.
“Anyway…” Chu Yi glared at him and spoke very seriously.
"If you want to wear it in the future, you can only wear it at home for me to see."
Qiao Anchen: "..."
Looking at Chu Yi's seemingly domineering and calm little face, with her chin raised and her courage puffed out, he inexplicably wanted to laugh.
But instinct made him unable to resist, and Qiao Anchen tightened his lips and nodded.
"Mm," he replied softly, "From now on, I'll only wear it for you."
After saying that, he added another sentence.
"I only wear it at home."
...Who would casually stroll around at home in a suit for no reason?
Chu Yi silently complained in his heart, but then another possibility suddenly came to mind, and his thoughts involuntarily went astray.
A moment later, blushing and with a racing heart, she patted her face, utterly disgusted.
First day of junior high! What kind of lewd nonsense is going on in your head every day?!
Qiao Anchen only saw her eyes unfocused, her face turning red and white, and finally, she slapped herself hard twice.
He couldn't help but ask, "Chu Yi, what's wrong?"
Chu Yi suddenly snapped out of her daze, swallowed hard, and said in a flustered voice, "Nothing! Nothing... Let's order."
This restaurant has a wonderful ambiance. A musician is playing the violin solo not far away, and the soft music floats in your ears. There are floor-to-ceiling windows right next to you, offering a panoramic view of the city.
As night fell, the sky was a deep, pigment-like blue, and twinkling lights twinkled in the dim, quiet light, making it the perfect time for a date.
And the steak was cooked exceptionally well, tender and juicy. Chu Yi only remembered after taking the first bite and looked at Qiao Anchen strangely.
"Didn't you say you don't eat Western food?" That time the steak was reheated and remade was probably something that Chu Yi would never forget.
"No," Qiao Anchen replied calmly.
"I just don't like eating undercooked food."
"Oh." Chu Yi looked at the well-done steak in front of him and made no comment.
After finishing their dinner, Chu Yi was in a particularly good mood. She took Qiao Anchen's hand and left the house, her steps swaying gently.
She had just drunk some red wine, and now, gazing at the night view, she felt dizzy and almost drunk.
Qiao Anchen didn't drive, but led her to the side. It wasn't until they pressed the elevator button to go upstairs that Chu Yi realized what was happening.
Where are we going?
"You'll see when we get there." He didn't answer directly, but instead took Chu Yi's hand and walked forward. The top floor of this building was a hotel. Chu Yi watched as Qiao Anchen led her out of the elevator, then through the corridor, and swiped her room card in front of a door.
She was shocked as soon as she opened the door.
The first thing that catches the eye is a sea of pink, with various pink and white heart-shaped balloons piled up beside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Orange fairy lights are lit on the ceiling and in the corners of the room, and four large white letters are surrounded by a large cluster of roses.
love
It was quite a sight to behold, decorated with small trees nearby, and many glowing wishing bottles hung from the branches.
There was a cake and candles on the table, and gift boxes, flower petals, and cute dolls were scattered all over the white carpet.
Chu Yi was overwhelmed by what he saw, stunned and his mind went blank.
Just then, a faint buzzing sound came from somewhere, accompanied by a breeze, and rushed straight to her face.
Chu Yi looked up and saw a remote-controlled airplane flying towards her from not far away. It was square and white, with a propeller spinning rapidly on top, making it very eye-catching in the small indoor space.
Chu Yi's gaze unconsciously shifted, and he saw a small box hanging from the bottom of the plane, swaying precariously as it flew erratically.
Then slowly, slowly, it swayed up to her.
Chu Yi stared blankly at Qiao Anchen, who was standing behind the plane, holding a remote control. After a moment, she pursed her lips and laboriously reached out to take the small box off in front of her.
Another strong gust of wind blew by, and the plane finally took off, completely ruining her carefully styled hair.
Author's Note: First Year: ? ? ? Is it really that corny?
I'll be giving away 80 red envelopes in this chapter! ^_^
By the way, that comic was made up; it borrowed from the synopsis of my next pre-order novel in my column (the helplessness of being bad at naming things). Don't take it personally, and don't say that Jiang Dalv got married! I didn't spread any rumors!
The tagline is here: "My Girlish Heart"
Qian Youyou ran away from home because she was forced into marriage, and managed to find a job through a friend's introduction.
On her first day of internship at the law firm, she made a spectacular mistake by offending Chen Yijia, a partner known as the "cold-faced devil."
From that moment on, her nightmare began.
I get yelled at when I'm on a business trip to meet with people I'm dealing with, when I'm organizing documents, when I'm photocopying files, and even when I'm just buying a cup of coffee, I get a severe dressing-down.
Everyone was worried for her.
However, not long after, at a party, everyone got quite drunk.
Someone went to the restroom. In the dimly lit corridor, the stern-faced lawyer, his long eyelashes drawn up, was holding Qian Youyou's chin and whispering a plea to her lips.
"My sweetie, give me a kiss, okay?"
Soft-tempered cutie x Cold-faced lawyer
He said one thing but did another, and ended up chasing after his wife like a man possessed.
Those who like it can bookmark it in advance qwq
39. Chapter 39
Chu Yi, expressionless, held the box in her hand and then smoothed her wind-blown, messy hair. This scene was incredibly familiar to her, as if she had vaguely seen it somewhere before.
She was deep in thought when Qiao Anchen slowly walked up to her, his anxiety growing even stronger.
