Hi, everybody. I have recently started a new novel called Strict Wife of the ’70s Manages the Household. It already has 17 chapters. You can check it out HERE.
The house was located in the north and it was very dry during the winter, especially when there was geothermal heat. Hence, turning the humidifier on would make them feel more comfortable.
After doing all that, Tong Yan placed the phone at a spot where Xu Xinduo could easily reach with a stretch of her hand. He said, “If anything happens, give me a call. I’ll just be next door.”
“Mmhm,” Xu Xinduo hummed in a daze.
Tong Yan switched off the lights and proceeded to leave the room.
The next morning, Tong Yan planned to make some breakfast for Xu Xinduo, but he found her dressed up and ready to leave the house by the time he exited his room.
Tong Yan immediately walked over to her and asked, “What are you trying to do?”
“I’m going to work!”
“You’re sick!”
“It’s nothing more than a small cold and I got a lot better after taking some medicine. Besides a bit of cough and some snot, I’m basically fine.”
Tong Ya watched her take her bag and prepare to leave, so he immediately stood in front of the door to block her way, questioning her, “Do you not want to live anymore?”
“I do!”
“Then why are you working so hard?”
“Because it’s worth the hard work.”
“You’re saying this job is worth your life?”
Xu Xinduo nodded her head earnestly, saying, “I’m saying that this job should be worth you waiting for me for a year!”
And just like that, Tong Yan was immediately convinced.
His entire being was compelled to her reasoning.
He wanted so badly to kiss her as a send-off.
He even wanted to put the entire photoshoot production team’s lunch on his tab.
After pondering for a long time, he said, “Fine, you win.”
Xu Xinduo smiled slightly at him and even opened her bag to let him see its contents, “See? I prepared so many Nuan Bao Bao’s and tissues. They’re going to be enough for me.”
“Okay. You’re on holiday for the New Year right?”
“Of course! The production team needs to rest too! Us models work the least, after all.”
Tong Yan sighed and said, “Dad and mum are at their busiest during New Year’s, so for the time being they won’t come home either. She didn’t even notice that you didn’t return home last night. Hence, I plan to bring Grandma over, where the three of us will gather here to spend New Year’s together. So, make sure that your cold gets better before Grandma comes or you’re going to worry her.”
“Okay,” Xu Xinduo replied obediently.
Tong Yan really couldn’t resist being convinced by her— with one sentence of hers, she was capable of making him hold his tongue and choke on his own words.
In the end, he let Xu Xinduo leave to go to work. He said to her when she entered the elevator, “Don’t overwork yourself.”
“Mmhm, okay, I will be obedient.”
Once again, Tong Yan’s words were stuck in his mouth, happily suppressed by the effect her voice had on him.
Xu Xinduo’s first photoshoot was instantly a hit. The production team was also surprised by the unexpected and inexplicable response.
The reason for her viral exposure turned out to be…Xu Xinduo’s watch.
This magazine often placed the photos taken into a nine-square grid before publishing a Weibo post with excerpts from the articles in the magazine.
The photos taken by Xu Xinduo and the other two also went through viral exposure because of that.
In the official Weibo site of the magazine, every time such something was posted, even if there is a reposting lottery (1), the final reposting number would amount to 300 or 400 reposts at most.
(T/N: By this, it’s like a reposting lucky draw where you repost something and the organiser says like, “There will be one random winner who can earn cash/prizes if you repost this within xxx hours”. That kind of stuff)
This Weibo, which did not have a repost lottery, had been reposted more than 10,000 times.
