Happiness is a secret love turned into a first love

That editor Zhang called at dinner time that day, and he was still reluctant to give up on the phone, and offered a price of seventy thousand characters plus a commission.Shen's mother waited all afternoon for such an insincere remark. She was so angry that she said lightly, "Thank you, we have decided to publish from Julian." Well, this person is not right."

Luo Wenyuan nodded, and said worriedly: "But is my manuscript not good enough?"

Shen's mother thought about it, after all, it was the first time translating, so there must be some deficiencies, but she still said: "Just send it over to have a look first, I think it should be done." She said and glanced at her son: "Everyone It’s a class of students, the gap is too big, why A Lin can’t even recognize the alphabet.”

Luo Wenyuan spat out with a 'poof', Shen Chenglin looked at Shen's mother very dissatisfied, and was too lazy to argue with her.Shen's father bowed his head to eat, and received it casually: "You are too exaggerated, you should still know the alphabet."

Shen Chenglin looked at Dad again, it seems like you didn't help much...

After the meal, Shen's father cleaned up the dishes as usual and washed the dishes in the kitchen. Shen Chenglin was behind to help wipe the table and cut the fruit. Shen's mother sat at the table and chatted with Luo Wenyuan.

"By the way, we have to go to see the house tomorrow morning, so we won't have breakfast together, you ask Lin to make you a sandwich or something."

Shen Chenglin brought fruit and put it on the table: "Then go early in the morning?"

"That's not it." Shen's mother took a strawberry casually: "It's not easy to buy a house."

Shen Chenglin sat down at the table, and couldn't help but ask, "Dad...has he been laid off?"

It's too abnormal, I haven't heard about Shen's father going to work for a month, especially after coming here this time, Shen's father will cover all the cooking, shopping and washing dishes at home. This is something that didn't happen before. It is impossible to think about it.

"Haha——" Shen's mother couldn't help laughing: "My child, you think too much. It's just that this transfer is just a vacation. You don't have to have such a strong sense of crisis when you go to work in a few months."

In fact, Shen Chenglin didn't ask, Luo Wenyuan also found it strange, Shen's parents have been at home every day since they came here, except sometimes to go out to see the house, they are really free on weekdays.

And the Shen family's parents don't know why, they always choose that weird time to go to see the house, either when it's raining heavily or early in the morning.

Father Shen came out of the kitchen at some point, and patted Shen Chenglin on the head: "You crow's mouth."

Luo Wenyuan opened his mouth to eat the strawberries that Shen Chenglin brought to his mouth, chatting with everyone, listening to the embarrassing things that happened to Shen Chenglin when he was a child, there was such a warm feeling growing in his heart, making him feel warm all over.

Really like a family.

The next day's weather did not rain, and the sky was clear, but it was accompanied by extremely sweltering heat.The Shen family's parents came back quite early, just in time to make lunch.

After walking all morning, both of them were tired, so they decided to start dinner without waiting for Shen Chenglin to come back. Luo Wenyuan helped to arrange the dishes, and they sat around the table to eat.

On weekdays, there were four people eating, and Shen Chenglin couldn't stop serving food for Luo Wenyuan, but today Shen Chenglin was absent, so this task fell to Shen's mother.Shen's mother naturally picked up a chicken leg for Luo Wenyuan, and said with a smile: "You are easy to support, unlike Ah Lin, picky eaters will die."

Luo Wenyuan accepted it with a smile, and he didn't stop thanking him politely like he did at the beginning. Then he remembered his work: "I've already sorted out the manuscript of the novel, and there are still about seven or eight chapters to go. Should I translate it first? Or wait for it?" Let’s talk about the publisher’s response?”

Shen's mother has already sent the first half of the manuscript to the publishing house and is waiting in line for review.After all, Shen's mother is no longer there to continue working, so it's not good to keep calling to remind her.

"If you don't have anything to do during the day, you can translate first, and you should also polish yourself, just don't worry about it, take your time."

Luo Wenyuan nodded in agreement, took out his mobile phone to check the time, stood up and was about to go to the kitchen.Shen's mother asked strangely: "Why are you going here?"

Luo Wenyuan took out half of the watermelon left from yesterday from the refrigerator, cut a piece and put it on the counter, and put the rest back into the refrigerator.

"Usually on Mondays, he comes back at 12:30, and there are still 15 minutes left. The weather is so hot today, he must not be able to eat when he comes back, so he must eat watermelon first. The watermelon is so cold, I take it out and warm it to save him from stomachache. .” Luo Wenyuan replied while bringing the cut watermelon to the dining table.

Shen's mother looked at him in surprise, then turned to look at Shen's father, Shen's father was not in a good mood at first, and he couldn't help being curious when he heard the words: "Ask him if he doesn't even know what time he gets off work, how do you know? "

Luo Wenyuan smiled: "It is true that his off-duty time is different every day, but it is a cycle every week, and there are traces to follow."

Shen's father and Shen's mother looked at each other with a suspicious expression.

Sure enough, just after 12:30, the door was pushed open vigorously, and Shen Chenglin strode in with sweat on his face: "I'm so hot."

Shen's mother invited him to eat, but Shen Chenglin went straight to the kitchen.

Shen's mother looked at Luo Wenyuan, then at her son who was running towards the kitchen, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, do you want to eat watermelon? This Wenyuan cut it for you, come here to eat."

Shen Chenglin turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a small piece of watermelon cut out on the table. He turned around and came to the front of the watermelon, and started to eat it, acting eagerly like a savage.

Luo Wenyuan smiled and got up to serve Shen Chenglin the meal. When the watermelon was brought back, the watermelon had been wiped out. Shen Chenglin leaned comfortably on the chair, and let out a groan.Shen's mother looked at her son and couldn't help admiring: "Wen Yuan, you are really amazing..."

It's already the end of August, and school is about to start again. During the meal break, Shen's mother asked curiously, "What classes are there for next semester?"

Shen Chenglin was startled, and turned to look at Luo Wenyuan. Luo Wenyuan had already finished his meal and was sitting next to him listening to their chat. Shen Chenglin saw that he had no strange expression, so he quickly answered.

In fact, he had nothing to worry about. Luo Wenyuan had already fully accepted this fact, and had already walked out.He listened to what Shen Chenglin said, and discussed with him the teachers who taught these classes with great interest.

But speaking of this, Luo Wenyuan was thinking about another thing in his mind. It would be Shen Chenglin's birthday in late September, so he didn't know what to give him?

I originally thought that I could use my own money to prepare a gift when the manuscript fee came, but now it seems that I can only use living expenses.Since he moved here, he has lost a lot of places to spend money. In a sense, the remaining living expenses that he can have are not all given to him by Shen Chenglin.

It's really a little guilty to use this money.

After eating and returning to the room, Luo Wenyuan was still struggling with himself, but was held down by Shen Chenglin and sat down.

Luo Wenyuan tilted his head with some doubts, and sat obediently.

Shen Chenglin squatted in front of him, blushing, took several deep breaths, and then took out a small box from his pocket: "I...I have something for you."

"What?" Luo Wenyuan asked with a smile, "It's so nice to have a gift?"

Luo Wenyuan stretched out his hand, and Shen Chenglin held his breath, like holding a fragile bubble, and gently put the box in Luo Wenyuan's hand.

The touch of velvet stunned Luo Wenyuan. He smiled and said, "What is it wrapped so delicately?" He reached out and fumbled to open the box, but when he touched the specific shape of the box and opened it, he suddenly realized He stopped when he saw something.

Luo Wenyuan didn't move for a long time, and Shen Chenglin held his breath and couldn't deliver it, his face flushed red.After a long time, Luo Wenyuan moved lightly, startling Shen Chenglin who was holding his breath.

"I... just got paid, I don't know, I don't know if you like it or not. I, I just think it looks pretty, you don't need to be stressed..."

Luo Wenyuan touched the base of the box with his fingers, rubbed it in, and touched a cool ring.

It was a silver ring, a ring with no pattern at all, very simple.Luo Wenyuan touched it with his fingers, but he didn't speak, which made Shen Chenglin hold his breath again.

In fact, Luo Wenyuan didn't know what kind of reaction he should give, and he himself was a little confused. What's going on with this atmosphere like a marriage proposal?He stroked the cool little ring with his fingers, and imagined what it looked like in his mind.

Shen Chenglin couldn't hold his breath, and almost lost his breath. He reached out and took off the ring, his hand was trembling: "I, shall I put it on for you?"

"Pfft," Luo Wenyuan couldn't help laughing when he heard Shen Chenglin's trembling voice when he came out of deep thought. He stretched out his left hand and put it flat in front of him, and then touched Shen Chenglin's head with his right hand: "Okay, good boy." -"

Shen Chenglin quickly took the ring and put it on Luo Wenyuan's middle finger, but it got stuck halfway through. His fingertips were cold in an instant, and he tried a few times quickly, but he really couldn't put it on.

Hey, he bought the ring with enthusiasm, but it turned out that it didn't fit, would he die of anger.Shen Chenglin regretted it to death, why didn't he measure it before buying it?He just remembered that Luo Wenyuan's fingers were very slender, and he bought this ring purely by visual inspection in the store, but now that he thinks about it, he is too careless.

"Haha——" Luo Wenyuan laughed again, reached out to take the ring, put it on his ring finger, and sure enough, he put it on very smoothly: "Why are you so dumb?" He said and touched Shen Chenglin's Head: "Hey, it's so cute."

Shen Chenglin's face burned up, his eyes followed Luo Wenyuan's hand up and down, staring at the silver ring on his ring finger.After a while, he stopped Luo Wenyuan's hand again and pulled out the ring.

Luo Wenyuan was taken aback, and said in a daze: "If you give it away, can you take it back?"

Shen Chenglin didn't speak, he took out a chain he used to wear, put the ring on and hung it around Luo Wenyuan's neck: "No, you can't wear it on your ring finger now."

Only then did Luo Wenyuan understand what he was up to, and hugged him with a smile: "Okay, listen to you."

"But you paid your wages, and you didn't buy anything for your aunt and uncle. I deserve it..." Luo Wenyuan suddenly asked while hugging her quietly.

"I'm going to buy it...I'll buy it on the day after work, I'm not, I can't wait to see this..."
