Chapter 59: Go, Angry Mosquito!
She had already run out of saved chapters today.
The story she was currently writing was about what happened after Huo Qiu and Bai Qiu left the movie theater.
The outline for the next chapter only had one sentence written on it:
“Huo Qiu takes Bai Qiu to a hotel.”
If it were another author, they would probably start “playing billiards” on the spot.
And then…
Bang!
Like a monk meeting a giant bell, or a comet crashing into a valley.
Like a Demon King meeting the Hero, or a vampire meeting a vampire hunter.
A battle of destiny was about to begin, and once it started, it could no longer be stopped.
A perfectly good bed became a victim of war, and a perfectly good mouth lost the right to speak anymore. As for “creating life,” that was a common thing in war.
Winning and losing were normal too. Fight a few more battles in this generation, gain more experience.
That experience would surely help raise an excellent next generation, who would continue fighting for humanity’s survival, with world peace as the goal, creating a world full of harmony everywhere!
But Mu Yi would not write that.
She planned to make the main characters simply chat under the blanket.
There would not be even a little dirty content in her light novel.
Back in the editor group, there had once been a light novel author who asked her a question.
“Is a world without dirty jokes really reasonable?”
“Very reasonable.”
That was Mu Yi’s answer.
There was no way she would slap her own face by contradicting herself. Besides, writing spicy scenes was risky, so entering that field required caution.
Not every reviewer would “accidentally let it pass.”
Not every driver was skilled enough to stay on the road.
People could not all be judged the same way. One careless move and the car would drive straight into the sewer.
After thinking about the plot in her head for a while, Mu Yi quickly expanded it into nearly ten thousand words of story content.
Huo Qiu deliberately takes Bai Qiu to a hotel, then purposely pins her against the door.
He puts the collar back on her and personally changes her into a nun outfit. After that comes a series of indescribable events. Huo Qiu no longer wants to keep getting teased by the woman in front of him.
Today, he is the king, and she can only be a helpless little nun at his mercy.
But halfway through, the king loses his power. The girl Bai Qiu is the true queen today.
After the king’s defeat, the two lie under the blanket and look at each other, both realizing that their feelings for one another have changed in a way that can never go back.
…Then after cutting and deleting all the spicy parts, only around three thousand words remained.
And after removing the parts that seemed a little too suggestive—
Tap tap tap tap, tap tap tap tap.
Once she confirmed all the details and ideas for the chapter, Mu Yi quickly typed on the keyboard.
Before she knew it, 2050 words were finished.
Just as Mu Yi was about to look at the outline for the next chapter, a familiar and annoying sound suddenly buzzed beside her ear.
Bzzz bzzz, bzzz bzzz.
Mu Yi froze.
Before she could react, a mosquito flew into her sight.
It spun, jumped, and flew in circles in front of her, showing off all kinds of fancy flying moves while repeatedly trying to attack the girl’s soft pale skin. It was unbelievably arrogant.
Ugh!
Mu Yi’s eyelid twitched.
It was already the end of October, so why were there still mosquitoes?
Her long and pretty fingers tightened slightly. The moment the mosquito got close enough, she instantly raised both hands.
But just before she could clap it, the mosquito suddenly flew away at lightning speed.
Mu Yi missed completely, and her two hands stopped before making a clap sound.
She frowned slightly and carefully followed the mosquito with her eyes.
The mosquito flew up and down before finally heading toward Gu Zhiren.
Uh...
Could it be that even the mosquito could not stand him anymore?
Maybe she should just let the mosquito bite him once. No, wait, since it already bit him once, a few more bites would not make any difference. Go, angry mosquito!
Mu Yi smiled and narrowed her eyes while secretly laughing.
But after the mosquito really landed on Gu Zhiren’s face, her smile slowly disappeared, and her heart suddenly tightened for no reason.
After thinking for a moment, she still jumped up and walked over. She bent down and raised both hands again.
Smack!
The clear sound of her clap rang out loudly. At that moment, Mu Yi suddenly remembered something and instantly had a bad feeling, making her hold her breath.
Gu Zhiren woke up from the noise. His eyes looked confused and blurry from sleep.
After a short pause, his gaze slowly lowered, and a strange emotion appeared in his eyes.
“Ah...”
Mu Yi pulled her hands apart. Her pretty brows lightly frowned while a few strands of snowy-white hair brushed playfully against her cheeks.
“I didn’t mean to wake you up. There was a mosquito just now!”
Mu Yi opened her soft slender hand. Gu Zhiren lowered his eyes and glanced at the dead mosquito in her palm, and a trace of disgust immediately appeared in his eyes.
“Why didn’t you wake me up after I fell asleep?”
Gu Zhiren turned his face slightly away, not really daring to look directly at Mu Yi’s face for the moment.
“Because... because you were talking in your sleep after you fell asleep! And you even said, you even said...”
She lowered her eyes shyly and blinked softly. Her pale face slowly turned red, while she raised her left hand and lightly bit her nail.
“You said you wanted me to cook for you. Your tone sounded like it absolutely had to be me, which was kind of embarrassing.”
She gently brushed a few strands of hair from her forehead and tucked them behind her ear. Every movement looked gentle and graceful.
Gu Zhiren immediately covered his mouth by reflex, and an unbelievable expression appeared on his handsome face.
Seeing his reaction, Mu Yi felt completely satisfied and proudly smiled. Then she pretended to be troubled and held her face with both fists.
“It’s not like I can’t cook for you. But I still have to write my novel, so what should I do? This is such a hard choice~”
Hearing that, Gu Zhiren turned back to look at Mu Yi’s slightly red face. He seemed to understand the truth almost instantly, but he did not expose her lie. Instead, he agreed with her words.
“Then let’s just say I really did say it. Didn’t you ask me earlier how I wanted to be repaid? This will do.”
“Huh—you heard...”
Mu Yi widened her eyes.
“Hurry up and make it. I happen to be a little hungry.”
Gu Zhiren tilted his head and smiled lightly.
“Fine, I’ll cook then,” Mu Yi pouted. “I’ll check what’s in the fridge first, so don’t expect too much.”
If one meal could settle everything, then this was a great deal!
………………………
The only things in the fridge that could actually be cooked were eggs, plain noodles, and instant noodles.
Everything else was bread and milk.
A little later, a plate of scrambled eggs was finished first. The problem was that the eggs did not only contain eggs, they also contained a lot of eggshell pieces.
Out of curiosity about Mu Yi’s progress, Gu Zhiren walked into the kitchen. He picked up the plate and looked at it, then silently put it back down before gently asking,
“Why are there eggshells in it?”
“Huh?”
Mu Yi looked confused by his sudden question, so she turned to look at the scrambled eggs.
Was having eggshells in it really that strange?
Wait—
The scrambled eggs from takeout restaurants did not have eggshells...
Only then did Mu Yi realize the problem might actually be herself. But she did not want to admit she was wrong, so she turned her head away.
“Eggshells are very nutritious! It’s like how grapes are healthier when you eat the skin too. Same logic.”
She blinked and bit her nail lightly while confidently puffing out her chest.
“……”
Gu Zhiren looked at her for a moment, then picked up a pair of chopsticks and elegantly took a bite. After chewing twice, he calmly swallowed it.
“The taste is okay. But this lunch is too simple, so I should call someone over to help.”
“Huh? But I already prepared the noodles...”
