LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 1 Writer
"You..." In the coffee shop, Gu Ruoyan put down the coffee cup and hesitated a little, "I heard you are a writer?"
The saxophone played melodiously in the cafe, and the afternoon sunlight shone on the table through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The rose in the center of the table shone with dew, delicate and fragrant.
The environment is beautiful, and Gu Ruoyan is also beautiful. For this blind date, she specially put on a long skirt that she rarely wears. Her daily smart high ponytail is also deliberately let down, and her long black hair is even more elegant.
She had expectations for this blind date, but the man in front of her disappointed her...
Although he was tall and handsome in appearance, he was dressed casually and had not shaved off his beard, which at least proved that he was not as serious about this blind date as he was. Forget it, people always feel that they lack energy, and when they see themselves, they still look nervous, like an otaku who stays at home playing games all day without seeing anyone.
Hmm...writer, maybe that's it? Decadent, unkempt, unsociable?
Writers seem to be very interesting... This is why Gu Ruoyan is willing to go on a serious blind date, although Gu Ruoyan, who claims to love reading, has never heard of this so-called writer's name.
Chu Ge sat across from him, his hands on his chin, his heart beating fast. I have been on blind dates arranged by my mother many times. It has always been a formality, and the other party has also tacitly understood it. After dinner, everyone broke up without even leaving a WeChat message.
I didn’t expect that the person on this blind date would be such an elegant and beautiful woman. Why would such a beautiful woman go on a blind date if she wasn’t going to film a movie?
I'm completely unprepared!
"Ask you..." Gu Ruoyan sighed: "Aunt Wu said that you are a writer. Can you tell me about your works so that I can read them?"
"...Ah, yes." Chu Ge coughed dryly, "I have written many novels, but I feel that none of them can fully demonstrate my true level. The ancients said it well - Wen Yi contains the Tao. Currently, I am working on the idea A grand narrative under the background of a special historical period, paying attention to the vast universe and vast nature, expressing the struggling spirit of the small people at the bottom to strive for self-improvement in adversity, thinking about the deep-seated issues about the destiny of China and even all mankind, and taking on the responsibility A writer should have social responsibility! So I have been looking for my muse..."
"Can you speak human language?" Gu Ruoyan crossed his hands on the table and lowered his eyes slightly.
Chu Ge retracted his waving hands and said, "Well, I'm currently writing a novel about fairy tales. It's a loser."
Gu Ruoyan had some realization in his eyes.
This is an... internet writer.
Are online writers considered writers?
I don't know if it counts, but it's a field that Gu Ruoyan doesn't know much about, and it's very different from her usual understanding of writers.
"How much is the monthly salary? Is it stable? Do you have five insurances and one housing fund?"
"Rousseau once said: Writing for bread will soon suffocate my genius and destroy my talent. Nothing strong, nothing great, will come from a mercenary pen. Need and greed It may make me write faster, but it won't make me write better..."
"speak English!"
"It's not very stable. Sometimes it's less. This month it's over 10,000..." Chu Ge's eyes flickered slightly, "Five social insurances and one housing fund... Actually now you can pay for social security by yourself..."
"Isn't this just a jobless journey..." Gu Ruoyan blurted out and finally held it back.
Chu Ge smiled slightly and said nothing.
Gu Ruoyan regretted her gaffe, which was hurtful... But she felt that she was already in her twenties and still unemployed, so writing an autobiography would be a waste. How was she going to get married?
She finally smiled apologetically and stood up from her seat: "I still have something to do..."
Chu Ge sighed: "Please do it."
…………
Many people once said that the name given by Chugo's parents was not very good. Being surrounded by enemies on all sides is too bad, and it is destined to be difficult to succeed in anything, except for other things. If you can't find a girlfriend, in other words, it is called a lonely life.
What's more, it sounds like Chu Ge, isn't this something you asked for?
So Chu Ge went on eleven blind dates and none of them were successful.
Of course, the reason why he failed before was actually because he didn’t want to look for it at all.
How can women have fun games? If it weren’t for my mother’s urging, these eleven times wouldn’t have existed at all.
What a pity... This time it was so beautiful, so beautiful that Chu Ge still feels a little unreal, and the heartbeat at that moment has never calmed down.
Chu Ge sat quietly, looking at the dew on the petals, without looking at Gu Ruoyan's beautiful back. After two or three seconds, he seemed to relax, leaning lazily on the soft backrest, taking a leisurely sip of the coffee he had just taken a sip.
It was as if what just happened had never happened.
A cup of coffee costs one hundred and twenty. Chu Ge wonders if this cup of bitter, as bitter as he feels at this moment, can prolong life. Why is it so expensive?
He lazily took out his mobile phone and opened QQ, and clicked on a group chat called "Roommates Fighting."
This is a small group. There are only more than 300 people in the group including Chu Ge. Compared with some dead groups that claim to have 2,000 people but are actually lifeless, although this group is not large in number, it is very lively. Everyone talks like Gatling. After going to the toilet, it will be 99+.
For a small group to be so active, Chu Ge is indispensable.
Someone once summarized what elements an active group needs to have, and they listed 20 elements. The most important one is that there needs to be a stupid group leader...
This summary is very accurate, Chu Ge is the leader of the group.
This is his book club. He is the author, and his pen name is his real name Chu Ge. "Fucking in the same room" is of course a group of readers having sex in a group...forget it.
At this time, the group seems to have reached a tacit understanding about a certain news screenshot, and the group members are rereading it.
"Fear of marriage today +1."
"Fear of marriage today +1."
Chugo clicked +1 out of habit.
Chu Ge: "Fear of marriage today +1."
"..."
The group was quiet for a moment, and then someone asked: "Chu Da? Didn't you mean a blind date? Did you show up so soon?"
"How long will a blind date take?" Chu Ge tried his best to sound calm, "GG."
The group became happy again: "Just be GG, it's not fun for a woman to write a book, you haven't updated it yet today!"
Chu Ge paused with his fingers on the keys for a few seconds and did not reply.
Most people don't care about your mood on the other side of the network. What they care about is that you haven't updated today. Therefore, Chu Ge is reluctant to ask for leave even if he is slightly ill, because the feedback he gets when asking for leave is often not "have a good rest" but "just make excuses".
Unless you are an old reader who has feelings, it is a pity that Chu Ge does not have such accumulation at present.
After all, he is still in a state of being considered a jobless vagrant by his daters...
He put away his phone and drank the half-cold coffee in one gulp: "Pay the bill."
The waiter came over: "One hundred and two."
Chu Ge was startled for a moment, where were the two cups of coffee: "You are half price today?"
"The lady just now bought her own order."
Chu Ge subconsciously turned his head to look out the window, then remembered that Gu Ruoyan had been gone for at least five minutes.
Although Gu Ruoyan blurted out something that hurt Chu Ge a little, he didn't hate it because most people in the world viewed this profession this way and were used to it.
Besides, my acting was too exaggerated when I was nervous... What the hell is that...
Chu Ge didn't know why someone with Gu Ruoyan's appearance and temperament still needed a blind date. If he guessed with malicious intent...
Forget it, why bother? A passerby in the past is doing your business?
For him now, the awkward words in the group are the reality that he needs to face: today's update has not been finished yet, and it will be discontinued if it continues.
