1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 87 Gambling and Coup

Chen Yixiu looked at Xu Yuexin's face beside her, recalling every little detail since they met, and her eyes became complicated for a moment.

This man, except for his love of taking advantage of me, seems to have advantages in every aspect.

If I had met him a few years earlier, I might have really...

"Alas, it's already this time, what's the point of asking again."

The plane continued to bump, and Chen Yixue sighed and said, "Some things are destined to happen. There are no assumptions."

"That is to say, if you met me first, you would date me, right?"

"Um……"

Facing Xu Yuexin's questioning, Chen Yixiu nodded slightly, with emotion appearing on her noble face.

After hearing this, Xu Yuexin hugged Chen Yixiu even tighter and put his other arm around her, enjoying her beautiful body to his heart's content.

Chen Yixiu didn't say anything, just let it go, and even pressed her face closer to him.

Time passed incredibly slowly, as if a century had passed, before the plane gradually stabilized.

The passengers' fear gradually subsided, and Chen Yixiu's emotions also gradually calmed down.

"Why are you still holding me?"

Chen Yixiu moved her face away from Xu Yuexin and nudged him with her elbow.

"I'm afraid you'll be nervous."

Xu Yuexin slowly pulled his arm away and said, "Look how much my hand is sore from holding it there."

Even if you get a bargain, you still behave well.

Chen Yixue snorted inwardly, then took a deep breath: "Just now, I really even thought of a suicide note."

"It's not that serious."

Xu Yuexin said casually.

Chen Yixue rolled her eyes at him and said, "You knew from the beginning that you wouldn't crash the plane, right?"

Oh no, I let it slip without paying attention.

Xu Yuexin pondered and spread his hands nonchalantly: "If I were as flustered as you, would you be happy?"

"Strong words."

Chen Yixue deliberately didn't look at him and said, "You are omnipresent."

Recalling what had just happened, she felt her cheeks getting a little hot, and the feeling when she looked at Xu Yuexin was different.

He has a harder mouth than anyone else.

Xu Yuexin complained silently and cast a contemptuous look at Chen Yixiu.

Of course, the sister-in-law's evaluation was correct. He was indeed a man who was omnipresent to women.

After the plane stabilized, it began to slowly descend, circled in the sky for several times and finally landed at the Capital International Airport.

The Capital Airport is still under construction, and the decoration of the new Terminal 1 is about to be completed.

According to Xu Yuexin's impression, this brand new terminal will be delivered and put into use on January 1980, 1.

Xu Yuexin and Chen Yixiu left the airport on a shuttle bus. It was still pitch black outside the car windows.

Since the bus does not pass through the East Third Ring Road, spending the night at Xu Yue’s new home becomes Chen Yixiu’s only option.

When the two entered the house, Chen Qiaoqiao was sleeping soundly in the bedroom. The bedroom door was open because there was no one else at home.

Chen Yixiu glanced at her sleeping sister and couldn't help but regret what happened on the plane.

"Forget what we said on the plane."

Chen Yixiu closed the bedroom door and ordered Xu Yuexin in a low but serious voice.

Xu Yuexin raised his eyebrows and spread his hands: "Whether you forget or not, it has happened."

After saying this, Xu Yuexin turned around and went to the bedroom to wash his face and prepare for bed.

After hearing his answer, helplessness appeared on Chen Yixiu's dignified and beautiful face.

Well, I still have a bet with him.

In any case, it is impossible for him to complete 20,000 words every day. At that time, I can naturally restrain him and not let him get any further.

Chen Yixiu clasped her hands under a pair of tall peaks and looked at Xu Yuexin and said.

……

Early the next morning, Xu Yuexin got up before Chen Qiaoqiao and Chen Yixiu and fried eggs and noodles for everyone.

When Chen Qiaoqiao got up, Xu Yuexin had already brought the fragrant fried eggs and plain noodles to the table.

Chen Qiaoqiao felt distressed when she saw the food on the table: her husband came home late last night and got up early today to make breakfast for her.

"Yixue is here too."

Xu Yuexin sat at the table and said to Chen Qiaoqiao, "He fell asleep in the next room."

"I'm up."

At this time, the door of another bedroom was pushed open, and Chen Yixue came out neatly dressed, "Qiaoqiao, I bought something for you and put it in this room. Come and see it later."

"Thank you! You are so nice, sis!"

Chen Qiaoqiao happily ran up to her sister, took her hand and said, showing the deep sisterly love.

The two sisters finished washing up, sat at the table and started eating breakfast.

During the meal, Chen Yixue partially revealed to Chen Qiaoqiao the bet between her and Xu Yuexin.

Of course, she didn't tell anyone about the consequences of the bet.

"I made a bet with Yue Xin whether he could write 20,000 words a day."

"Qiaoqiao, please supervise him for me and don't let him cheat or anything."

"How can I cheat?"

Xu Yuexin was very unconvinced.

Chen Yixue ignored him and just looked at her sister: "Can you do it?"

"Twenty thousand words?"

Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but gasp, and immediately assured Chen Yixue, "Don't worry, sister, I will take good care of him."

Xu Yuexin curled his lips twice and said nothing.

This sister-in-law is so shrewd that she doesn't leave anyone any room to cheat or be cunning.

As soon as Chen Yixue finished breakfast and left, Xu Yuexin immediately walked behind his wife and put his hands on her shoulders: "Qiaoqiao, can you help me write a little?"

“Ghostwriting is unethical.”

Chen Qiaoqiao looked up and asked doubtfully, "Do you really want to do that?"

"Of course not. I just want you to help me write some content, to make up 20,000 words. I won't actually publish it."

"I wrote the ones that were published publicly myself." Xu Yuexin leaned close to his wife's ear and said, "Can you do me a favor?"

"You just want to win the bet against my sister, right?"

"That won't work. She asked me to supervise you. How can I rob you?"

Chen Qiaoqiao shook her head and still didn't want to agree.

"How can this be called embezzlement? To be honest, I was set up by your sister and was forced to fulfill this bet. Otherwise, think about it, how could I accept the condition of updating 20,000 words every day? I'm not an octopus."

Chen Qiaoqiao was somewhat convinced by Xu Yuexin.

"I can help you. The problem is the handwriting. Even if I really wrote it for you, she can see it at a glance and it will be useless."

"That's easy. Just imitate my handwriting."

Xu Yuexin took Chen Qiaoqiao's hand and said, "Come on, let's go practice and see if we can sit like a lifelike person."

"Try it."

Chen Qiaoqiao said without confidence.

The two walked into the bedroom together and took out paper and pen. Xu Yuexin first wrote a paragraph on the paper, and then asked Chen Qiaoqiao to imitate it.

Chen Qiaoqiao held a pen in her hand and carefully copied Xu Yuexin's handwriting, and it turned out quite similar.

However, when Chen Qiaoqiao started writing on her own without copying, it was no longer similar.

After practicing over ten times, she still made no progress and the characters she wrote still didn't look like the original.

"Look, I really can't help you."

Chen Qiaoqiao put down her pen and said helplessly, "Handwriting is not that easy to imitate."

What should I do……

Could it be that I really have to lose the bet with my sister-in-law and can only watch her from afar and not touch her?

Xu Yuexin's mind started working at full speed.

"I'm going to the next room to see what my sister bought."

Chen Qiaoqiao stood up and said.

At this moment, Xu Yuexin suddenly had an idea and stopped his wife: "Don't worry, I have a solution."

"any solution?"

Chen Qiaoqiao asked.

"Print it."

"Erase all the characteristics of your and my fonts. It is simple and easy to learn!"

Xu Yuexin said confidently, then picked up a pen and started writing on the paper.

Printed text became very popular among high school students in later generations because it was very suitable for exams.

Xu Yuexin learned this font, but stopped using it after going to college.

Chen Qiaoqiao looked at his handwriting carefully, then shook her head: "It's neat, but it has no personality at all."

"If you want to blame someone, blame your sister for setting a trap for me."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have come to this."

Xu Yuexin intensified the brainwashing and said, "Come, learn it first."

In fact, he never explained in detail how Chen Yixiu set up the trap for her, but Chen Qiaoqiao still believed in his words.

It can only be said that Xu Yuexin’s credit record is so good that Chen Qiaoqiao believed him.

Chen Qiaoqiao took the pen and started practicing on the printed text. She learned it in a short while. At first glance, there was no difference between what Xu Yuexin wrote and what he wrote.

“See, it’s easy to learn.”

Xu Yuexin said, "Come, I'll teach you what to write next."

Then, he briefly explained the subsequent plot to Chen Qiaoqiao and told her to write it accordingly.

Anyway, I'm just using it to fool Chen Yixiu, and I won't submit it for publication. It's fine as long as it looks roughly the same on the surface. There's no need to go into too much detail.

After the briefing, Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao each started writing.

According to Xu Yuexin's plan, he can write a maximum of 15000 words a day, and Chen Qiaoqiao only needs to write 5000 words for him.

On this day, apart from eating, the two of them were busy writing manuscripts.

By the evening, Xu Yuexin took the pile of written manuscripts and counted them. He roughly estimated that he had written about 15,000 words, which was the same as expected.

"My hands are sore from writing."

Chen Qiaoqiao also put down her pen and said, "Don't make such a bet next time."

"It makes me work too."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a massage later."

Xu Yuexin comforted his wife and took the manuscripts to count them.

Wow, my wife's work efficiency is unexpectedly high. She wrote more than 10000 words.

If this continues, my sister-in-law will be in danger.

Xu Yuexin said happily and kissed Chen Qiaoqiao on the face.

"Wife, you are awesome!"

Xu Yuexin said as he hugged Chen Qiaoqiao who was flexing her fingers.

……

Autumn is deepening and it is time for the ground to be covered with fallen leaves.

After 20 days of hard work, Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao managed to finish writing the remaining 50 words of the manuscript.

In the meantime, Chen Qiaoqiao went back to school and her daily output dropped a lot. This was mainly because Xu Yuexin's speed increased in the later period, and the daily limit increased from 15000 words to nearly 20000 words.

The printed font has some credit for this; besides being easy to read, it also has the advantage of being quick to write.

On the day when the writing was completed, Chen Yixiu happened to come to the house to find Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao.

"anyone there?"

"Tuk-tuk."

"Qiaoqiao, Yuexin, are you home?"

Chen Yixiu knocked on the door repeatedly, but no one answered, so she had to wait outside.

Chen Yixue came here today to check on Xu Yuexin's fulfillment of the gambling agreement.

It is not easy to write 20,000 words every day.

Before setting off, Chen Yixiu had already gained confidence that she would win.
