Chapter 38

From Yinghe to Penang, it takes ten hours by train.It was already late at night when Lu Chen and Shen Yi got off the car.Sitting for a long time is really tiring, and the result of the long-term lack of contact between the muscles and the bones is that the sound of activities is very crisp.

When Lu Chen got up, he first did an exercise of twisting his arms and buttocks.The whole body was rattling like a symphony.

Shen Yi waited patiently for him to finish the radio gymnastics, and couldn't help but say, "You are a habit and you should change it. Why do you sit still like a zombie when you sit down?"

Lu Chen turned his head and said very seriously: "I didn't move when I fell asleep, okay?"

Shen Yi opened his mouth and made an expression of sudden realization, "Oh~ I slept in nine and a half hours during the ten-hour drive. Well, yes, you still have room for improvement."

Lu Chen: "..."

"Get ready to get off the bus, don't be poor."

Lu Chen walked to the luggage rack and took out their suitcases, Shen Yi smiled and followed behind him.

There was already a long queue at the door, the sky was dark, and the lights of the street lights were dotted in the night, looking down from a height like stars in the night sky.The sky in Penang looks very low, as if you can touch it with your hand.Looking up is also starlight, and looking down is also starlight, which can be regarded as a beautiful scene.Penang in summer is still very beautiful, but the stinky salty fish smell that is surrounded by the sea and blowing in the wind is really a bit cheap, and the intoxicating scenery can also wake people up.

Lu Chen took out the coats he prepared in advance and put them on.Penang is very windy at night, he knows it well.In fact, the wind here...doesn't matter how big or small it is, anyway, it doesn't stop all year round.

Summer is coming soon, the air conditioner is saved, and a window is opened at the front and back, and the wind is uninterrupted for 24 hours.

power saving.

"Fatty asked us to be a model for him, remember?" Lu Chen got out of the car door and stood on the side of the road, stretching out his paws and shaking them in the air, letting the wind dry the sweat on his palms--if you sleep too long, you will also bleed sweaty.After all, sleeping is hard work.

Shen Yi looked at Lu Chen who was baring his teeth and claws, wishing he could play disco music for him, arched his nose and lowered the corners of his mouth.

"Why, he wants to take a few photos while the students are not in school?"

Lu Chen's paws were in the air, and he looked at Shen Yi in surprise, "Did he tell you?"

"No, I guessed it myself," Shen Yi said frankly, "But it seems that I guessed it right."

Lu Chen smiled, "Really, getting smarter and smarter. Then guess where the fat man will hang the photo?"

Shen Yi: "...Where is it hanging?"

Why does it sound weird?

The sweat in Lu Chen's palms dried up, stretched his arms, twisted his waist, pulled the suitcase casually, and said as he walked, "Fatty opened an online store and needs photos. I just took a few photos before school started. We are all busy when school starts, and none of us have time."

Shen Yi: "Then you need a professional photographer and studio."

Lu Chen nodded, "Yes, that's right. He has already contacted him about this matter."

Shen Yi grinned in embarrassment, "I have never been to his shop, the clothes..."

Can you see the clothes?He didn't have the nerve to say this, because the fat brother's daily attire was really simple, and he always felt that this person's taste was worrying.

Lu Chen said: "I've been there, hey, it's just ordinary school clothes, mostly casual Korean style. The style is okay. But... do I look a bit old-fashioned and green-painted when I wear it—pretend to be tender?"

Shen Yi really couldn't hold back this time, he lowered his head and smiled.

This suspicious shoulder kept shaking, as long as you are not blind, you can see it.

Lu Chen went up and kicked Shen Yi's ass.Of course, it's just a pose, without real effort.

Shen Yi staggered forward, "No, brother, you will never be."

Lu Chen rolled his eyes at him, "It's not too bad."

After exiting the station, Lu Chen dragged Shen Yi to line up in the taxi waiting area.

"We have a meeting tomorrow morning, and we will meet the fat man in the afternoon."

Shen Yi: "Oh, then I'll go directly to his shop and wait for you?"

Lu Chen gave a "tsk", tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's fine, just stay here and don't run around."

"Ah."

"I heard from Fatty that two new snacks and a milk tea shop have opened in the school's second restaurant. Let's try it together at noon?"

Shen Yi nodded, he is very picky about what he eats, and he has no rules when he is picky.Therefore, I generally only eat what I have eaten, and rarely try new foods.

Shen Yi: "If I can't finish it, you can eat it for two."

Lu Chen looked at Shen Yi's side face and smiled helplessly, "You are really difficult to support, hey, it's not easy to drag so much!"

Shen Yi: "..."

The taxi driver opened the trunk and thoughtfully put the luggage of the two into it.Lu Chen opened the door for Shen Yi and let him go in first.This action is nothing at all, but... the eyes are the windows to the soul.Shen Yi glanced at the driver from the corner of his eye and was obviously stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered his professionalism.

Lu Chen got into the car and closed the door, "Let's go downstairs and order a takeaway. I haven't eaten well all day, and I'm easy to wake up hungry in the middle of the night."

Shen Yi nodded, "Yes."

Lu Chen took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Fatty: Brother Fatty is not at home, can I bring you a meal?

Fatty: ... have an appointment.

Then he made a mean and coquettish expression.

Lu Chen: About... what?

Fatty: Get out!Anyway, we are also graduates of Penang University, and this quality is deeply rooted in purity.

Lu Chen's stomach hurt from laughing, Shen Yi leaned over to look at his mobile phone, "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Chen turned on the phone screen and showed it to Shen Yi. Shen Yi glanced at it, didn't even bother to roll his eyes, sighed and turned to look at the scenery.

The darker the day, the more humidity and coldness in the air.Lu Chen got out of the car and dragged out his luggage, and looked at several colorful neon signs.

"What to eat?"

"Well... rice noodles, it's a bit cold."

Lu Chen looked at several rice noodle restaurants, and picked the one he used to go to, "Take away or eat here?"

"...Take it away, I want to go back soon."

Lu Chen looked at Shen Yi who was holding his arms, stopped and was about to reach out to take off his coat, but Shen Yi stopped him.

"Don't...don't, I'm going back now, let's go in and warm up for a while."

Lu Chen nodded.

The rice noodles are out of the pot in 10 minutes. Shen Yi does not want to be numb, not spicy, not onion, ginger and garlic. In short, the lighter the better.Lu Chen is relatively simple, in one sentence: Just look at it.

Carrying two tightly packed disposable lunch boxes, the two stood at the door of the store and mustered up their courage before stepping into the cold wind.

Five minutes later, the two little flowers swaying in the cold wind finally arrived at the nest sheltered from the wind and rain.

I didn't expect the fat man to maintain good hygiene after not being at home for a few days.

Shen Yi put the rice noodles on the table, and Lu Chen pushed the suitcase into the bedroom.

Lu Chen walked out of the bedroom to look around, and then went to the bathroom to look, "See, even if you don't clean, the fat brother will clean. You are too diligent, and you don't give people a chance to show your skills."

Shen Yi smiled, "How do you know that he didn't make a special trip to clean up just for us? And it's only been a few days? He can't get dirty by himself."

Lu Chen waved his hand, "All right, you're right anyway."

Shen Yi opened the packing box, and the aroma of rice noodles permeated the air instantly.His stomach, which had been hungry for a whole day, screamed crazily without showing his face.

Shen Yi took out his notebook, ate with chopsticks in his right hand, and typed something on the keyboard with his left hand.

Lu Chen took a sip of rice noodles and looked up, "What are you busy with? The food doesn't taste good?"

Shen Yi didn't take his eyes off the screen, "Oh, I've heard an email from the editorial department that published the work, saying that they organized an event and invited me to participate. The editor sent me a WeChat message today, but I haven't read it yet."

Lu Chen said vaguely while chewing, "What activity?"

Shen Yi glanced at the screen and said: "The most popular writers of the year are selected by contracted writers. The most popular writer No.1 seems to have a prize, and physical books will be printed and distributed. The top three will also organize a signing event."

Lu Chen had half of the rice noodles in his mouth and half in the bowl. He stayed in this awkward position for a long time before suddenly sucking the rice noodles into his mouth.

"A signing party?"

"En." Shen Yi nodded, "But I don't plan to participate in the signing event, but the other rewards are not bad. No.1 will be very popular with the film and television crew."Shen Yi glanced at Lu Chen with a smile in his eyes.

Lu Chen licked his lips, "Why don't you participate in the signing? With your image, you will definitely be popular."

Shen Yi smiled, "I don't need to sell myself to support you for the time being."

Lu Chen: "..."

This kid dared to tease him!

Lu Chen pinched Shen Yi's chin, and gave him a spicy rice noodle-flavored kiss.

Just as I was about to bow my head and continue eating, I suddenly remembered the video that was circulated on the Internet-do those readers and fans know that it is the author they like?What would happen if we found out?

Lu Chen felt sour in his heart.Seeing Shen Yi's serious face, he was speechless.

He has read several of Shen Yi's works, and he has subscribed to every issue of "In the World" magazine, and has been paying attention to the official account.

It's just... Lu Chen tentatively flipped through Shen Yi's childhood works before. At that time, most of the writing was ideal, with the expectations of children of that age for the future-although in Shen Yi's writing, this expectation was buried very deep.

After I grew up, my writing style became obviously sad and extreme, and most of my novels ended in tragedy.

Now...it's actually quite sad, but the ending is still a reasonable happy ending.

From a person's pen, we can often see the person's mental journey.Otherwise, there would not be so many writers constantly studying the personalities and thoughts of those great writers who died for an unknown number of years.

Lu Chen cleaned up the kitchen waste, "Then are you busy next time?"

Shen Yi shook his head, "It's the selection of completed works, well, at most there will only be a few business trips, I'm still in school, and they will try their best to arrange the meeting time on weekends."

Lu Chen subconsciously said, "Do you need me to accompany you?"

Shen Yi smiled, "If you happen to be not busy, then let's go together."

"Eh..." Shen Yi grinned, "Why do I feel like you look at me like a child, and it's not like I can't come back because I don't know the way?"

Lu Chen raised his face, "Ha, I'm going to take this opportunity to travel, who saw you?"

Shen Yi gave him a meaningful look, and couldn't help laughing, "...Oh."

Lu Chen arched his nose, "It's getting late, if you have nothing to do, go to bed early. I have to get up early tomorrow, and I have to take pictures of the fat man. There are a lot of things."

Shen Yi closed the computer, "Okay. What time does it start tomorrow?"

Lu Chen thought for a while, "Seven o'clock, I can still have breakfast."

Shen Yi: "Well, anyway, I have nothing to do tomorrow morning, it doesn't matter sooner or later. Just don't get up late, school matters are more important."

Lu Chen hugged him and rubbed against his neck, "How can I be so unreliable? When was I late for work?"

Shen Yi patted him on the back, "Let's go, go to bed early. But will sleeping too much during the day affect your sleep at night?"

Lu Chen: "If you accompany me, I won't."

Shen Yi put his arms around his waist, and pushed him to the bedroom, "Let's go, stop acting like a baby."
