Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 121 [End of Text]

Lin Lu never thought that her relationship with Pei Yizhou would have the opportunity to become a book or a drama.

She was a little confused and asked, "Is our story special?"

Isn’t it just eating, sleeping, arguing and hugging?
Ms. Mu, who wanted to buy the story, seemed to be adept at answering this kind of question: "Everything is very ordinary when it happens, but it becomes meaningful when you look at it over a longer timeline. For example, you may feel that you can't eat this baked snail today, but if you want to write a book called "My Fate with Snails", this moment may be the beginning of a story with great significance."

This example is really interesting.

Lin Lu looked at the other person again.

Anyone who could get in here wouldn't be a liar who liked to joke around, but this proposal was too advanced for her.

The other party probably saw her confusion and handed over a business card with a cute stick figure drawing on it.

"There's no rush for this. You can go back and think about it. Contact me when you've made up your mind."

When Pei Yizhou came back, she turned her head and whispered about this, asking who that girl was.

"Do you recognize the number 9 card from the previous ring auction?"

Pei Yizhou was also surprised: "That's the boss lady of Changtong Group. She is said to be a very famous writer and screenwriter."

So the story of buying stories is real.

After returning home, washing up and going to bed, Lin Lu was still staring at the business card, so distracted that he didn't notice what Pei Yizhou was doing.

Pei Yizhou was dissatisfied that her attention was not on him. He frowned, took the pillow away, and held her on his lap.

"What are you thinking about so intently? Are you struggling to decide whether to agree or not?"

Lin Lu shook her head and leaned back on his chest: "I just think it's amazing. I never thought our experience was something suitable to be told as a story."

If she were to describe it, the experiences of these years were more like... a room.

The place was filled with messy little things, there were holes on the ground, and items that were liked and disliked were all squeezed together. The protagonists were entangled and hugged and lying on the only tidy bed.

Well, a more literary description would be that they were surrounded by the chaos after a summer typhoon, and Pei Yizhou was the kind of person who didn't care about tidying up his belongings and just ran over to hug her.

In short, it’s not a story that can be introduced openly.

Pei Yizhou thought exactly the opposite.

"Why not? I think it's very suitable. If I had the habit of keeping a diary like the male protagonist in the movie, publishing the contents of the diary would have been a very touching story."

"…What's so touching about it? Can you read your diary? The audience who likes to watch family dramas in the first half will be condemned, and the audience who sympathizes with me in the second half will be condemned. After watching the whole thing, the special effects artist who mosaiced the content will be condemned."

She didn't even dare to think about how embarrassing it would be to publish the diary.

Pei Yizhou was amused by what she said. The sound of his chest shaking could be heard through the pajamas. He whispered in her ear:
"Then let's embellish it a little bit and say that our story begins on a rainy day. Two childhood sweethearts develop a special relationship because of an accidental kiss. The male protagonist begins a secret love that lasts for ten years. He watches the female protagonist go abroad to study and work, and during that time, she experiences unimaginable pain..."

"What a vulgar direction." Lin Lu couldn't help laughing.

While laughing, he rewrote it: "The male protagonist should have become a psychopath since then. He would watch the female protagonist go to and from school from a dark corner every day, and even pretend to write a diary, pretending that the female protagonist accidentally saw it."

Pei Yizhou kissed her shoulder, smiled and asked, "Am I so excessive?"

"Not only that, the male protagonist also keeps an eye on others and doesn't allow them to get close to the female protagonist. If he sees the female protagonist drinking someone else's water, he will poison her the next day..."

The more she talked, the more she wanted to laugh. Lin Lu was laughing so hard that her body was shaking. Suddenly, her stomach was touched.

Pei Yizhou entangled her like a vampire vine, and its branches moved towards the water.

Lin Lu soon lost the energy to laugh and was left with only gasping sounds.

—

Tanghu Mansion was so quiet late at night that not a single noise could be heard. After a tiring day and another quarrel, both of them fell into a deep sleep.

Pei Yizhou had a dream after a long time.

In fact, the beginning of their story was almost completely different from what he said.

Except it was a really rainy day.

A big thing happened to the Lin family. The loving couple Lin family met with a car accident and both died. Lin Lu, who was at home on the weekend, hurried to the hospital to take the bodies for cremation.

The incident happened suddenly and there were no relatives to help, and in the chaos, even the Lin family forgot to close the door.

Pei Yizhou was at home, looking outside through the window.

Many neighbors had sad and sympathetic expressions on their faces. When they talked about the Lin couple, they said that God was blind.

Unlike when his parents died, those people just shook their heads with complicated expressions.

He stood by the window, not knowing what he was thinking, and couldn't explain it.

I just looked back at this house halfway.

He was the only 16-year-old boy living at home. Although the house was full of things and warm, it was as empty as a wasteland coveted by creepers. He was just a dry bamboo shoot that broke out of the wasteland and died. When his parents were around, things weren't much better.

Unlike the Lin family's house - he had been there several times, it was so warm that it made people feel uneasy, as if the house was very small, and the voices of concern and the aroma of food could easily fill every corner.

But now, the warmth of the family of three is like glass shattered by this rainstorm, and only Lin Lu, a thirteen-year-old girl, is left intact.

He didn't feel that there was finally someone as pitiful as he was, but he felt sad, the kind of sadness that came from seeing his favorite white clothes fall into the mud.

Pei Yizhou wanted to go to the funeral home to help, but there were already enough neighbors there. As a teenager, he was squeezed in the back and couldn't even see Lin Lu's head. He could only hear crying.

The crying made it difficult for him to lie peacefully in bed after he returned home.

He went to the Lins' house and stood at the last few steps, hesitating, not knowing what he wanted to do.

The door was open, he thought, at least go in and see if anything had been stolen.

After entering, he thought again, at least he could sit here to prevent someone from stealing things.

After sitting for a while, he still didn't wait for Lin Lu to come back, so he went to clean the floor in front of the living room window that was wet by the rain, and went to the kitchen balcony to close the window.

When Lin Lu came back like a ghost, two dishes were already placed on the table in the Lin family's living room.

Pei Yizhou was sitting quietly on a chair, but when he heard the noise, he stood up suddenly like a thief.

"...You're back? Have you eaten?" He greeted her awkwardly, not knowing whether to smile or cry like her.

Lin Lu looked at him blankly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you in my house?"

"I...I noticed that you haven't come back for a long time. It's raining so hard...If there's no one at home to cook, you won't be able to eat when you come back..."

The words are incoherent and I don't know what you are trying to say.

But Lin Lu was probably exhausted both physically and mentally, and didn't care about those things. He said thank you, closed the door and sat down at the table.

The dishes are delicious. Pei Yizhou was able to support himself after his parents passed away, so his cooking skills are pretty good.

But this was destined to be a sad night. Lin Lu ate her meal in big mouthfuls, swallowing with difficulty, but tears kept falling into the bowl.

Pei Yizhou poured her a glass of water and finally figured out what he wanted to say.

"Let me take care of you. I'll cook for you. You're still so young."

The dry words gained a little moisture after Lin Lu raised her head and looked at him with tearful eyes.

"——As long as you call me brother."

Lin Lu said: "I originally called you brother."

"Not everyone can call me brother. I will take care of you and you will stay with me."

Lin Lu's crying tone became more obvious: "My parents left me some money."

"My parents left me some money too. But no one wants to live alone. I want a sister."

Want a home.

Lin Lu's tears were hanging on her eyelashes, and they were about to fall: "How can anyone be like this?"

"Am I not good enough? Don't you like the food I cook? My grades are OK, and I can teach you. I am older than you, so I can take care of you and make money for you..."

He knew that he was inexplicable, but there was a fire in his heart that urged him to sell himself desperately.

At the end of the conversation, he fell silent again.

"If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it. Go change your clothes. I'll be back after I wash the dishes."

My throat suddenly felt blocked like Lin Lu's.

Pei Yizhou didn't know what his expression was at that time, whether his eyes were also blurred with tears, but Lin Lu blinked away the tears, took another bite of rice in a daze, and said, "It's delicious."

Pei Yizhou covered his eyes to stop himself from crying.

He felt that Lin Lu agreed to be his sister out of sympathy for him.

But it doesn’t matter, at least he found a home that would not be occupied by ivy on a rainy night.

—

I woke up in the early morning and it was raining outside.

Pei Yizhou gently kissed the sleeping Lin Lu. As if she was disturbed, Lin Lu frowned and turned over, burying herself in his arms.

The corners of his lips rose slightly, he closed his eyes to avoid looking at the rain, and fell asleep again in the warm room, hugging his lover.

This was a rare night when he didn't have to worry about rain tapping on the window glass, and his home would no longer become a wasteland occupied by ivy.

　There will be some small extra chapters after marriage.
