Capítulo 30: This Book Is Really Good!
Editor: Henyee Translations
To be honest, Chen Pengfei was not a simple person. If he really attacked, Xiao Ran would probably be covered in injuries now.
Unexpectedly, this kid was quite brave!
"Ah," Xiao Ran agreed.
Actually, no matter what, it was best to have someone who worked hard.
After all, one had to work hard to win. People who liked to work hard were more liked under any circumstances.
Especially when Ding Wenxuan was attracted by Xiao Ran's writing just now. Now that he saw that situation, he felt that he was a rare talent.
He nodded. Xiao Ran would be the kind that will definitely have a bright future.
"The younger generation will surpass me."
Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh.
"You make it sound like you're getting old."
Ding Wenxuan looked like he was in his twenties.
It was really funny for him to say such things at such an age.
"I'm already 22 years old this year. If I had half of what you had back then, I would have earned a million yuan no matter what!"
Speaking of which, it was all tears. He was young and inexperienced back then. Because he was timid, he missed a big deal. He regretted it whenever he thought about it.
Xiao Ran chuckled. "You flatter me. I'm just tenacious."
He did this purely to protect himself.
These words hit the nail on the head for Ding Wenxuan. He seemed to have sensed something and nodded. "Well said. We're all living tenaciously."
Xiao Ran glanced at him and said seriously, "Thank you so much for today."
If not for his sudden appearance today, he would have messed up today.
Ding Wenxuan smiled. "You're welcome, brother. If you really want to thank me, write more tomorrow."
"Don't worry, it has to be 20,000 words tomorrow!"

On the other hand, Chen Kai and Chen Pengfei had already left the alley. The four of them walked on the street, two in front and two behind.
Chen Kai never dreamed that he would receive such an outcome after waiting bitterly for a day. He looked at Chen Pengfei indignantly. "Brother, what do you think we should do?"
He was really going to die of anger.
Chen Pengfei was still filled with anger. This matter had blown up.
Who knew what Ding Wenxuan was thinking even though he did not say it out loud when he bullied his brother-in-law.
If their relationship was ruined because of this, it would really not be worth it!
"What else can we do? It's already like this. Let's go home!"
The more Chen Pengfei thought about it, the more worried he became.
He couldn't help but remind him, "Let me tell you, you have to swallow this matter no matter how angry you are."
"Firstly, in your PE class, you didn't succeed in tripping him first. What does this mean? You attacked first when the two of you fought, but you were beaten up by him. How embarrassing!"
"Secondly, waiting at the newsstand. Ding Suiwan, whom you like, was there to reprimand you. What does this mean? If the girl doesn't like you, you should let go."
If he hadn't chased after her and insisted on finding trouble with Xiao Ran, this wouldn't have happened.
Ding Wenxuan was alarmed by this commotion. If this continued, wouldn't it reach District Mayor Ding?
No matter how he thought about it, this matter was troublesome.
Moreover, his brother was a bootlicker. This was really embarrassing for him.
According to his thinking, there were thousands of girls in the world. If this relationship didn't work, he would change to another girl!
There was no need to focus on one girl.
Chen Kai also knew that his brother was right, but he still felt uncomfortable.
"So we're just letting it go?"
Although he was a little touched that Xiao Ran suddenly appeared to protect him, this was a separate matter. He had even snatched his goddess away. It was embarrassing for him not to even say a few harsh words.
Chen Pengfei frowned. "Then what else do you want?"
"Let me tell you, you're still young and impulsive. You think that Ding Suiwan is beautiful now, but when you go overseas and go to university, there will be many beautiful girls. Suzhou's, Hangzhou's, Sichuan's and Chongqing's. They really have their own characteristics…"
Cheng Pengfei started to persuade his younger brother.
"And let me tell you, Xiao Ran is not a simple person. You can't beat him!"
Chen Pengfei's tone was firm.
At that moment, he understood.
He was not afraid of death!
It was better to stay away from such people.
***
It was already half past 11. The lights in Xiao Ran's house were still on, and there was a transparent old-fashioned light bulb hanging from the yellow roof.
Wu Cuifen fell asleep on the tattered secondhand sofa at home.
Hearing the door open, she instinctively opened her eyes and saw Xiao Ran walking in.
Wu Cuifen rubbed her eyes and hurriedly stood up. "Why are you back so late today?"
Xiao Ran did not expect his mother to still be waiting for him. He felt inexplicably guilty.
"I'm studying at school. Mom, I want to study at night at school every day in the future. Don't wait for me in the future. Go to bed early."
"Alright, I understand."
Hearing that her son was studying in school, Wu Cuifen was instantly relieved.
After all, studying was a good thing. Some time ago, because of family matters, this child no longer attended evening self-study in school. Now that he could start evening self-study again, as a mother, she was naturally overjoyed.
Putting aside whether his results were good or not, he must have overcome the hurdle in his heart.
"Then, then I'll give you three more yuan starting tomorrow. You'll eat dinner at school."
After saying that, Wu Cuifen entered the bedroom. She took 10 yuan from the remaining 40 yuan and pinched it in her hand. She turned around and handed it to her son.
"This period of time has been hard on you."
She had no choice. The conditions were not good now. Although she knew that her son's quality of life had decreased greatly, this was already her limit.
The newsstand could earn 1,300 yuan a month.
The debt collectors had to take away 1,000 yuan. The remaining 300 yuan was their living expenses for this month.
She had to plan to save some more for Xiao Ran and keep it as her university tuition fees.
Their days could not be said to be difficult. It was extreme poverty!
Xiao Ran held the crumpled money in his hand and hugged his mother with a smile.
"What are you talking about? How blissful is it to have Mom around? What's there to feel aggrieved about? I'm doing very well!"
It would have been fine if Xiao Ran hadn't said anything. Now that he said that, Wu Cuifen's heart ached even more.
There was no parent in the world who did not want their child to live a good life.
At that moment, she felt that she had implicated the child. Her eyes could not help but turn red.
Xiao Ran patted her shoulder.
"Alright, it's fine. Mom, believe me. We'll definitely live a good life! Definitely!"
At this moment, his book had already reached 35,000 words. In a few days, with more words, someone would definitely contact him.
Don't ask him where he got his confidence from. It was all the accumulation of an old writer's experience.
As he had expected, a middle-aged woman was sitting in a high-end residential building in Jiang City.
The slight coldness of the air conditioner made her put on a silk shawl.
She placed the coffee in her hand on the table and looked at the book called "Candle in the Tomb" seriously.
Her eyes were filled with excitement.
Her name was Annie. She was not only a senior author, but also an editor.
This book called "Candle in the Tomb" only had more than 30,000 words, but it was already so enthusiastic. Tieba was about to explode.
She had been in the industry for eight years, but this was the first time she had seen such a good book.
If such an author did not sign in to her website, it would definitely be her failure.
And she would definitely regret it in the future!
