Translator: Xiaoxi
Editor: Bamboozled?
————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Zhou Chuan didn’t actually want to take the initiative to add that little fox back but half an hour ago there was a little incident—
Half an hour before.
At that time Zhou Chuan had just finished typing, and was happily sharing with his best friend, Jiang Yu Cheng, a Korean dog blood drama 1 Dog blood dramas are very cliche dramas that have scenes that are ridiculous and exaggerated. He had just gotten to talking about “The male lead dropped out from the sky and slapped the train that was about to fall off the cliff. Shit, even that’s okay? Aliens can be used as Superman ah? The screenwriter must have not even wanted her Mary Sue brain anymore….” At this time the QQ for his trumpet 2 A side account began to flash like crazy…….
Zhou Chuan paused for a moment, ever since he blocked a certain fox, the little QQ trumpet had not flashed so much in a long time.
He opened it to take a look, only to find out that the person who was talking was A’Gui, Zhou Chuan could not ascertain how he felt at that time. He raised his brows as he read the seven to eight consecutive messages that A’Gui had sent him.
[The Ghost Behind You: Have you come back from your business trip yet, boss?]
[The Ghost Behind You: Fuck! It has been so many days of nothing from you. You don’t reply to QQ messages and won’t add Hou’er 3 Nickname for Monkey Invited Water Army… ie Chu Li back, what have you been doing. On the bright side you can’t have died right?]
[The Ghost Behind You: Hey, time to come back to life!]
[The Ghost Behind You: I’m telling you know, go die! Hou’er is currently in a career related crisis, their Editor in Chief want her to to do some stupid frontal piece project thing. It needs a lot of writers to help make up numbers, I suppose you don’t know about this right?]
Zhou Chuan’s face was expressionless, in his heart of course Laozi 4 A way to address oneself (Male) knows, she has even come to find me but was turned away by my savage question mark. Hehehehehe!
[The Ghost Behind You: As a new editor how can she know any writers that can help ah. She is so anxious that she’s about to hang herself—Don’t you know quite a few writers? Small time writers are also ok, we’re not expecting you to know any Dashen. 5 Direct translation to Great God, used to refer to big wigs in this industry…ie. Zhou Chuan himself ? Why don’t you introduce a few to her?]
[The Ghost Behind You: I’m telling you now so don’t blame me for not telling you later, you have black listed Hou’er, pretended to be dead, not being the hero who saves the beauty… Little Wild Flower wants to make their move now, I heard that he has gone to find people already.]
[The Ghost Behind You: Then this hoe will dig into your corner.] 6 Someone will invade your territory…in this case steal your person away
[The Ghost Behind You: Little Wild Flower has liked Hou’er for quite a long time already.]
Zhou Chuan: “……..”
Quicker than words could tell, Zhou Chuan at that time was still shaking his legs for a moment. Within the next second his corpse sat up, even the strange smile on his face changed. He initially wanted to directly close the chat window and not listen to A’Gui’s nonsense while continuing his fake dead body play…but there was a flash of light. Zhou Chuan suddenly saw Er Gou sleeping on the sofa, a thought flashed in his mind: If Jian Yu Cheng came to tell him: “From now on Er Gou is my Baobei! 7 Translates to precious or treasure, usually used to refer to someone intimately. ” How would I be like?
Er Gou is somewhere in between silly and dumb, only knowing how to eat and only knowing how to expensively. Although that Jiang Yu Cheng may not despise him and still want him, then as the owner I would obviously be – smiling slightly while giving him a cup of rat poison water.
No complaints there.
What a joke, Da Ye’s 8 Another way to refer to oneself in a very arrogant manner. (Male) pet can also be defiled by you and other mortals??? After considering for three seconds, the man lightly coughed, realising that it was time to start showing what real acting was!
In amongst the paka paka typing noises, long fingers were dancing on the keyboard, within a few moments in the conversation with [The Ghost Behind You] a single phrase of green words appeared—
[Disappearing L Jun: A few days ago I went out on a business trip with my shidi. 9 When you have a master and he is a fellow disciple that is younger than you, ie. a junior brother. I didn’t look at my phone, the mountains didn’t have reception, what happened? I didn’t blacklist Hou’zi, 10 Another Monkey Invited Water Army Nickname nothing happened why would I black list her? It must be my shidi’s prank!!!]
[The Ghost Behind You: !!!!!!!Da Ge 11 Big bro you finally came back!!]
[Disappearing L Jun: What are you panicking for, Zhen is here 12 Zhen is what Emperors used to refer to themselves (as a personal pronoun), in this case he is being very arrogant. , I cannot tolerate the recklessness of Wild Flower. The thing you said Hou’zi was finding writers for ah, I don’t quite know what it is. Aren’t you also a writer? Why don’t you write for her then?]
Zhou Chuan wasn’t saying nonsense, back then A’Gui got to know him and Chu Li through the Jian Niang Niang incident. 13 Cocoon Lady from the early chapters When the forum was dissolved everyone was still friends, A’Gui also became a popular online writer— in the recent years they have been involved in serialising a few Pure Love stories, currently sitting at 3-4 hundred thousand Weibo fans. The fixed readership is primary and secondary school students. It would be considered not too warm but not to hot either 14 Talking about popularity. It suggest that A’Gui isn’t a small time unknown writer but they are not super popular either. , a writer with some influence.
Zhou Chuan thought that what he said had not problems, however the person on the other side had the expression of great grief—
[The Ghost Behind You: Da Ge 15 Basically calling him bro although they are not related , it’s Yuan Yue Publishing!! The last best seller book called [Zhan Di Xi Yang] 16 Translates to Battlefield Sunset was from Yuan Yue Publishing, [Zhan Di Xi Yang], I’m talking about Anti-Japanese soldiers who tore the devil with their hands! 17 I think this is the name of the writer….such a long pen name too >.< ]
[The Ghost Behind You: And I, Gui Ju Ju 18 Probably A’Gui’s pen name which means Ghost Gathering because Gui in A’Gui’s name means ghost. , am not some respectable danmei writer, danmei, do you understand what danmei is? If you don’t understand then Baidu it! 19 Baidu is the Chinese version of Google. Have a look at the Milky Way of difference between the themes of Danmei and Anti-Japanese!!]
[Disappearing L Jun: ……..]
[Disappearing L Jun: I don’t like what you just said, how will Anti-Japanese’s Danmei writing continue ah?]
[Disappearing L Jun: Besides, Yuan Yue Publishing currently needs writers that are not that respectable the most, she 20 Chu Li is in [Yue Guang] 21 Moonlight Magazine and not at [Xing Gui] 22 Star Trails, the old Magazine. , that magazine is all inclusive and doesn’t discriminate against people like you who write about the wrong themes.]
[Disappearing L Jun: Besides, you are still at least a part of this circle, I’m not a part of this circle of people at all. How could I know a few authors? Aiya, fine, first I’ll add her back then ask about what has happened…..]
[The Ghost Behind You: Hurry up and add her back ahahahahaha! I’ll give you her QQ number!!]
[Disappearing L Jun: Wait for me to add her back, no need to give it to me, I’ve memorised her number.]
[The Ghost Behind You: OMG, of course, it’s true love!!]
?
While A’Gui was unaware and muddled up due to L Jun’s sincere heart, Zhou Chuan calmly opened up his main QQ account, found a familiar avatar, opened up details, copied, opened up trumpet account, pasted, clicked add, and conveniently left a phrase: Pretty Lady, Date online?
………..
Present.
This was the process of how Zhou Chuan was persuaded in his attempt to add Chu Li back.
—There was also a secret reason, it was a comrade of A’Gui’s who was strong and powerful in his persuasion called [You Are Going to be Dug at the foot of the wall]. Zhou Chuan suddenly woke up to another important matter: a certain fox forcibly signed off his stepping stone to the top of the pyramid with an initial print of 45 thousand, now that he had black listed her, how would she have the opportunity to work as a horse and cow to repay him ah? 23 Working as a horse and cow is an idiom which means that you work very hard for them.
Of course that could not happen.
She cannot move that stepping stone away so easily for free.
In summary, half an hour later, there was this scene at this moment—
The man was sitting in front of the computer, one hand was touching Er Gou’s head, the other hand that had slender fingers were bent slightly as they tapped on the arm rest rhythmically. His face was expressionless, the pupils of his tea coloured eyes were focussed on the computer in front. Then the notification sound for a message beeped.
Light flashed across his tawny eyes.
He slowed down the finger that was tapping on the arm rest, straightening his posture a little, he grabbed the mouse and moved it to open the message, then promptly saw the words
[The other person has rejected your friend request.]
Zhou Chuan: “…….”
With a flick of his hand he angrily unplugged the computer.
He ferociously threw the sentence “add it or leave it” towards the empty room, the man stood up and put a leash on the dog that squatted beside him and took it for a walk. Within the small community there were quite a few old grandpas and grandmas who basked in the afternoon sun while playing chess and chatting. They praised the owner for raising Er Gou to be sleek, and with one look it could be seen that the owner was very loving. Gradually, it finally succeeded in stabilising the explosive anger that Zhou Chuan felt after being rejected.
Zhou Chuan: “Er Gou ah Er Gou, you tell me, in this world why are there so many ungrateful people?”
Er Gou: “ ? “
Zhou Chuan: “Hnng.”
After taking Er Gou for a walk around the community he took it outside to buy roasted chicken, while personally nursing a bowl of wontons. Dragging his feet, Zhou Chuan finally went home.
When Er Gou stepped on the doormat and started to kick and wipe his paws, Zhou Chuan plugged the computer again, then sent his second friend request. He clicked open A’Gui’s Q, leaving a pitiful four words: [She won’t add me QAQ]
A’Gui the kind child replied to him with a “ ! ” then disappeared. Zhou Chuan patiently wanted twenty minutes— enough time for A’Gui to fully play the role of lobbyist. Then he sent his third friend request.
This time it went through.
Zhou Chuan released the keyboard, put the disposable glove on his left hand and smiled like an idiot as he rushed to shake Er Gou’s paw, stuffing a piece of fried chicken drumstick into Er Gou’s big mouth. At the same time, his right hand moved the mouse to open up a certain avatar that was very familiar, the single handedly typed very quickly:
[Disappearing L Jun: It wasn’t me who deleted you.]
[Disappearing L Jun: See you’re still angry.]
[Disappearing L Jun: Ok, Ok, Ok don’t be angry anymore, seriously.]
[Disappearing L Jun:…….then we should be considered dating online right?]
The sound of Er Gou crunching on bones next to his ear.
A few moments later the notification sound dinged, it sounded very comfortable near Zhou Chuan’s ears. The corner of his lips turned up. He looked at the concise blue words in the dialogue box in the middle of the screen:
[Monkey Invited Water Army: Scram!]
The man sneered but there was a faint smile in his brown eyes.
