Although it was said that they were buying furniture for Shen's father and Shen's mother, the two half-grown boys came to visit the furniture city, especially holding hands, which still attracted a lot of probing eyes.
Luo Wenyuan couldn't see it, it wasn't affected, and Shen Chenglin didn't care about being generous, and stretched out his hand to pull out a piece of paper.
Before he came here, he had already gone to the house to measure various sizes, and made a list of the furniture to be bought and the specification restrictions. The preparation work was very comprehensive.He cleared his throat, and reported to Luo Wenyuan with some tentativeness.
"Three rooms and two living rooms. The furniture in the living room is all newly replaced. We only need to prepare the ones in the room."
Luo Wenyuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Three rooms, a master bedroom, a second bedroom, and the third is a study—"
In fact, the master bedroom and living room are large enough, so it is not impossible to not have this study, but Shen Chenglin is not quite reconciled to changing the third room into a guest bedroom.
In the dormitory, it was still the next bed, but when I moved home, it became the next door. There is no reason for this.
Luo Wenyuan heard the overtones in the words, but still nodded, acquiescing.
Shen Chenglin stared fixedly at the list in front of him, raised his head as soon as he heard the words, and hurriedly dragged Luo Wenyuan away, as if afraid of his repentance: "Then go buy a bed first, it's a big item."
Walking through the furniture city, Shen Chenglin had the illusion that they were newlyweds. He described the pieces displayed in the exhibition hall, and then dragged Luo Wenyuan to the bed to try sitting on them.
The salesperson was a young girl. She hurriedly came forward to introduce her. She talked about everything from the material to the design of the bed frame, and she was selling with her life.After Shen Chenglin listened in silence, he turned to Luo Wenyuan and asked, "What do you think?"
The little girl had seen too many guests, and she keenly sensed an unusual aura, and instantly understood who was the master.She quickly turned to Luo Wenyuan's side again, and when she saw Luo Wenyuan's closed eyes, she thoughtfully led his hand to touch and feel it. Luo Wenyuan was thin-skinned, and nodded repeatedly under the little girl's attack: "Well... that's good of."
Shen Chenglin also took a fancy to this, and the moment the decision was made, the little girl was overjoyed: "Our double bed has two sizes, which one do you want?"
Shen Chenglin looked up at her: "Which two kinds?"
"There are standard ones, 1.5 meters by two meters, and wider ones, 1.8 meters by two meters, which are slightly more expensive."
As soon as the words fell, Shen Chenglin and Luo Wenyuan chose the standard model in unison.
It's just that Luo Wenyuan is from the perspective of saving money, and Shen Chenglin...is from the perspective of being able to hug him a little tighter.
The two were walking around when Luo Wenyuan's phone rang.Luo Wenyuan was a little nervous for some reason, and hurriedly took out his cell phone, almost throwing it out in a hurry, and stuttered when the call was connected: "You, hello."
Sure enough, the call was from the editor. Luo Wenyuan had already read the sample draft that he sent yesterday, and the efficiency was very high.The other party was basically satisfied with the quality of his translation, and it was decided that he would continue to complete the translation of the 10,000+ word manuscript of the whole novel.
Luo Wenyuan was very happy, and repeatedly promised to complete the task at a certain speed, and to ensure the same quality as the sample draft, but what should be discussed is still to be discussed. How should the reward be calculated?
The other editor listened to the voice as an uncle in his 50s and [-]s. Hearing that he was still a student who had just entered the industry, he felt a little compassion.After all, Luo Wenyuan had just entered the industry, and the translated manuscript still needed a lot of proofreading, but the editor hesitated for a while, and he opened his mouth and came up with a standard of fifty thousand characters.
This price was much higher than what Luo Wenyuan had expected, and the two parties had a very happy conversation, and the payment for the [-]-character sample manuscript was paid to the account the next day, and the manuscript was handed in every three days to ensure the quality.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Wenyuan's entire expression lit up, and Shen Chenglin, who was heard next to him, murmured for a while: "I forgot before, we need to set up a desk in the bedroom, let's go and have a look."
Luo Wenyuan grabbed Shen Chenglin's arm, with a bright smile on his face, and his voice was a little excited: "Old Shen, I want to buy this myself after I get the manuscript fee. Old Shen, I succeeded!"
"Fifty thousand words, I don't know how long the full text is, even if it is a conservative estimate of [-] words, there is still an income of five thousand..."
Shen Chenglin was infected by Luo Wenyuan's excitement, and slightly parted his mouth: "The local tyrant begs for support."
Luo Wenyuan's smile was very bright, he touched Shen Chenglin's shoulder, and patted vigorously: "Take good care of the master, the matter of nurturing is easy to talk about!"
"In order for you to have a wallet to support me, let's go buy a table first." Shen Chenglin pulled Luo Wenyuan and continued to walk forward. Luo Wenyuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Chenglin: "The money for buying a table will be paid for when the time comes. Count together."
It was late when we returned to the dormitory. Luo Wenyuan was in a good mood when he received a job for the first time, and decided to take a day off for himself. The two of them ate dinner and nestled together to watch a movie.
Shen Chenglin was still thinking about the horror movies that Shen's mother strongly recommended when she wrote letters every month. He pretended to flip through the movie list on the Internet and asked, "Is there anything you want to watch?"
Luo Wenyuan was still thinking about the manuscript fee, so he casually shook his head and said, "Anything is fine."
"Then how about this one?" Shen Chenglin quickly announced the title of a horror movie: "The score is quite high."
"Horror movie?" Luo Wenyuan thought about it: "Okay."
Shen Chenglin was a little disappointed by Luo Wenyuan's reaction, but he still turned it on with a little luck, and the volume was also amplified.
Before the movie was halfway through, Shen Chenglin felt a little regretful.Many elements of horror films are presented by music and pictures, and there are very few lines.Obviously the picture was horrifying, but the horror effect of Shen Chenglin's retelling was greatly reduced, especially Shen Chenglin himself was so frightened that he often stopped talking in fright, leaving Luo Wenyuan beside him in a daze.
The suspenseful music sounded louder and louder, and the picture was too dark to see what happened, as if a female ghost was about to jump out at any moment.Shen Chenglin's voice gradually became quieter, until he was too frightened to hold his breath, not knowing what would happen in the next second.
"Hey!" Luo Wenyuan yelled.
"Ah—" Shen Chenglin let out a low cry, as if he was about to jump up, and looked at Luo Wenyuan in shock.
"Haha!" Luo Wenyuan was so teased that he couldn't stop laughing: "You want to watch a thriller, but how can you be so timid?"
Shen Chenglin couldn't refute, and became even more depressed.
Being so frightened, Shen Chenglin was not in the mood to watch the second half of the film, and only persisted until the end of the film.Luo Wenyuan was very relaxed throughout the whole process, and he didn't feel scared at all.
And that night, in the middle of the night, Shen Chenglin was awakened suddenly.
Shen Chenglin didn't open his eyes, but he heard very clear footsteps.
ta-ta-ta--
Something was approaching, Shen Chenglin closed his eyes tightly, and felt his quilt move slightly.
A pair of cold hands came in through the gap and grabbed Shen Chenglin's arm.
"Ah!" Shen Chenglin yelled in surprise, and sat up abruptly.
Taking advantage of the faint moonlight, Shen Chenglin finally saw clearly that the person in front of him was Luo Wenyuan who laughed at him for being cowardly.
Luo Wenyuan cried with a sad face: "I, can I squeeze with you?"
Luo Wenyuan didn't feel scary when he 'watched' it, and he didn't feel scared when he heard Shen Chenglin's retelling of the plot, especially Shen Chenglin's performance at that time, which made him really laugh.
It's just that when Luo Wenyuan lay down on the bed and was about to go to bed, he was brainwashed by the soundtrack of the movie.The horrifying and eerie music reverberated in his mind over and over again. He didn't even remember what the movie was about, but he was terrified by the music.
Shen Chenglin had been asleep for a long time, and Luo Wenyuan was still tossing and turning on the bed. At first it was just music, but later Luo Wenyuan even scared himself, always feeling that something was approaching him.
So even though he joked about Shen Chenglin arrogantly before, Luo Wenyuan finally admitted his cowardice and got out of bed to touch Shen Chenglin.
Seeing him like this, Shen Chenglin was overjoyed, but on the surface he was still indifferent.He hummed, moved inside by himself, and got out of bed after thinking about it: "Go inside."
Luo Wenyuan hugged his pillow and climbed in awkwardly.
The bed in the dormitory is a single bed after all, so two people need to be careful not to fall off.Shen Chenglin put one arm around Luo Wenyuan's neck, let Luo Wenyuan lie on his chest, hugged him with the other hand, and adjusted his posture carefully, only then did he feel that he was lying more stably.Luo Wenyuan was embarrassed to say anything, and forced himself to fall asleep.
Shen Chenglin also closed his eyes again, the body in his arms was so comfortable to hold, he was careful not to move, deeply feeling that he was right to listen to his mother's words.
It's just that Shen's mother would not be very happy if she found out that her pick-up secrets were used on Luo Wenyuan.
When Luo Wenyuan woke up early the next morning, he was refreshed and devoted himself to the great cause of translation again.
Shen Chenglin...hadn't slept all night, and his shoulders were sore, so he went back silently to catch up on sleep.
