Chapter 175 Chen Wenwen's Typographical Error
"what?"
Chen Wenwen turned around and blinked, as if she was doubting whether she had heard it wrongly.
It was not until Lu Mingfei touched the back of his head and repeated, "I said I would help you edit the magazine," that she realized she had heard it right. Lu Mingfei really said he would help her.
Lu Mingfei didn't know why he suddenly said this. Logically, he was not a member of the literature club now. In his previous life, he could be said to be a member helping the president. Now, he had no reason to follow Chen Wenwen.
What's more, he shouldn't follow her now. He is no longer the little brat who had a crush on Chen Wenwen. The little brat has already developed a relationship with the new heroine.
Both the heroic little angel and the piano beauty Liu Miaomiao are prettier than Chen Wenwen, and he has already chosen one of them. The piano school beauty's delicate hands flying on the keys now belong to him alone. It seems that he should keep a distance from other girls.
But he just scratched his head and sighed. Without waiting for Chen Wenwen to reply, he took away most of the books and materials from her hands in front of her stunned eyes.
It was his personality that made him give out sympathy cards indiscriminately. He was used to being a good guy. Although most of the time he was not able to help others, and he once missed the best opportunity because he was too hesitant even though he was able to do so... But he was changing.
It cannot be said that there was no trace of personal emotion in Lu Mingfei's actions. That would be too fake. But even if the other party was not Chen Wenwen, Lu Mingfei felt that he would still be willing to help.
I'll report this to Miaomiao later, he thought.
Feeling the weight on her hand suddenly lighten, Chen Wenwen stood there staring at Lu Mingfei, obviously a little overwhelmed by his proactive and tough action.
After a short pause, he had already walked a long way forward with the pile of books. Then, as if noticing that he was not keeping up, he stopped and looked back.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Lu Mingfei asked.
Chen Wenwen pursed her lips, and suddenly remembered the character of Lu Mingfei in her novel. She felt a little at a loss as to what to do, so she had to follow Lu Mingfei's footsteps obediently.
"Thank you." She said in a very low voice, and it was unclear whether Lu Mingfei heard it or not.
……
Because it was lunch break, there was no one else in the literature club's activity room.
After the two of them placed all the information on the large conference table in the middle of the activity room, they tacitly chose a seat facing each other and sat down.
"What should I do?" Lu Mingfei asked, "I'll follow your instructions."
Chen Wenwen spoke softly, somewhat embarrassedly directing Lu Mingfei. Editing the magazine is not a physically demanding job, but it is very laborious, and it takes a lot of time just to search for information.
Fortunately, the columns and content of the literature club's magazine can be found in past magazines, so there is no need to spend time deciding on the magazine name, columns, and content. All you have to do is follow the previous publications and copy them.
Lu Mingfei still remembers that when he was editing "Hyouka" with Oreki Houtarou and others, they had to think of the column from scratch.
After all the typesetting and editing are done, you still need to contact someone who can help, which is usually a larger printing shop. A printing factory with a larger scale will not take on such a small job.
However, Lu Mingfei knew that Chen Wenwen had connections; her parents seemed to know someone in the printing factory.
Because he had done the magazine several times before, Lu Mingfei quickly found the information he helped Chen Wenwen find with his memory, and even Yu Yun came to help Chen Wenwen. Chen Wenwen couldn't help but be surprised by his sophistication.
"Squad leader, you seem to be very skilled." Chen Wenwen asked, "Do you do this kind of thing often?"
“Haha, not really. In fact, this is the first time I’ve done something like this.”
Lu Mingfei said. He was not lying. Not counting his experience in his previous life, this was indeed his first time editing a company journal.
“Is this true…” Chen Wenwen muttered, “It’s my first time too, but my movements are so clumsy.”
"It's okay, it's okay. I can teach you. You will get used to it after doing it many times."
The more Lu Mingfei talked, the more he felt something was not right. He felt as if there was something sinister hidden in the words of the two of them.
Chen Wenwen just didn't know how to refuse Lu Mingfei because of his tough behavior. She didn't plan to let Lu Mingfei help her for too long. But now that she saw that Lu Mingfei seemed to be very experienced in making the magazine, she hesitated.
The main reason was that there was not much time left before the school anniversary celebration. If she did it alone, she didn't know when she would be able to finish it. With Lu Mingfei's help, she would definitely be able to finish it much faster.
Thinking this in her heart, Chen Wenwen silently accepted Lu Mingfei's help, and thought that after the school celebration was over, she would treat him to a meal to express her gratitude!
But speaking of it...
It seems like a good topic for the hero and heroine to compile a school magazine together for the upcoming school anniversary?
Should I try to use this experience as material and include it in my novel?
……
The one and a half hour lunch break passed in a busy manner. After returning to the classroom, Lu Mingfei immediately reported to Liu Miaomiao where he had been at noon.
Why do I suddenly feel like I am becoming more and more like a henpecked husband? Lu Mingfei muttered to himself, and inexplicably thought of his future father-in-law.
Of course, because the two of them had not yet made their relationship public at school, they only reported the matter by sending a message on their cell phones.
After learning the reason why Lu Mingfei was not in the classroom at noon, Liu Miaomiao felt a little jealous, but it seemed to be very common for classmates to help each other. And she also knew that Lu Mingfei was just like that.
She was not familiar with him at first and wanted to contact Chu Zihang through him, but he pretended to be unaware and expressed his willingness to introduce her to Senior Brother Chu Zihang.
But after she fell in love with Lu Mingfei, she realized that her feelings for Chu Zihang were not love, but just admiration and gratitude. Her feelings for Lu Mingfei were the kind of true feelings between men and women.
Moreover, Lu Mingfei would take the initiative to report to me, which shows that I am very important to him.
Liu Miaomiao was delighted and sent a QQ message with a smile on her face. Lu Mingfei's phone beeped.
Xi Yuhuai: I agree.
Lu Mingfei replied: Thank you, my beloved.
Xi Yuhuai: Hate it, who is your beloved concubine...
Lu Mingfei: Hey, who do you think it is?
Lu Mingfei didn't say a single nice word, and every word made her feel ashamed. She didn't know where he learned it from. Blushing and heartbeating, Liu Miaomiao decided not to reply to him for the time being. After lowering her head to send the text message, she put the phone into the desk and put it down.
Just then the bell rang and the teacher entered the classroom. She picked up a book to cover her hot face, not noticing that she was holding the book upside down.
Su Xiaoqiang supported his chin with his hand and looked at the sky through the glass at the back of the classroom.
……
Because he had obtained Liu Miaomiao's consent, Lu Mingfei did not leave after school in the afternoon. Instead, he went to the library with Chen Wenwen and finished the work that he had not had time to do at noon.
It just so happened that the little girl also said that she had something to do in the afternoon, so she didn't go with them. Liu Miaomiao was also picked up by her mother this afternoon, so it didn't count as delaying their time together.
The library was deserted after school, with empty study tables everywhere. The two randomly chose a seat close to the bookshelf and sat down. In fact, Lu Mingfei felt that it seemed more convenient to edit the club journal in the literature club than in the library, but Chen Wenwen said she wanted to go to the library, so he had to accompany her.
The library was quiet. The librarian on duty was standing between the bookshelves not far away, cleaning the dust on the spines of books and the shelves with a long feather duster.
The sun's rays cut a path through the air.
The air was filled with a mixture of floating dust and the unique smell of printed books, making people want to sneeze and yawn.
It was like a corner of memory was also brushed away by the feather duster in the librarian's hand. The scene at this moment made Lu Mingfei feel like he was dreaming of the past.
Chen Wenwen was drawing on the notebook, and Lu Mingfei turned all the information to the page she needed.
He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have asked Chen Wenwen this question at that time.
"Why don't we make the club magazine in the club activity room?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"There are too many people in the club activity room, which is inconvenient," said Chen Wenwen.
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he suddenly remembered this little thing, and then he heard Chen Wenwen suddenly exclaimed "Ah".
The sound of "Ah" woke him up from his memories.
"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Nothing." Chen Wenwen beside him whispered, "I was just looking at last year's club magazine and found a typo in it."
Lu Mingfei subconsciously leaned over to take a look, and Chen Wenwen immediately shrank aside.
The page in the newsletter was printed with Yeats's poem "Over the Willow Garden". The most famous poem in China by this Nobel Prize-winning poet is "When You Are Old", which is also one of Chen Wenwen's favorite poets. Lu Mingfei was also influenced by it at the time.
"It seems to be a misprint." Lu Mingfei said, "The next sentence of 'In the willow garden, I met my love' should be 'She walked through the willow garden, stepping on her snow-white feet'. The previous and next sentences are printed wrongly."
"Class monitor, you..." Chen Wenwen blinked in surprise, "...have you read Yeats's poems?"
"Well...I sometimes read some poetry collections."
Didn't I read this with you? Lu Mingfei complained in his heart.
At that time, Chen Wenwen always liked to borrow books from the library. Chen Wenwen liked to borrow several books at a time, and she would read one by herself and put the rest aside. Others in the literature club would pretend to flip through those poetry collections in front of Chen Wenwen, and Lu Mingfei had done the same thing.
"Squad leader, whose poems have you read?"
"Also Borges, Musset..." Lu Mingfei listed all the names of poets he remembered.
Chen Wenwen didn't know why, but a look of joy appeared on her face. However, she sighed softly and finally whispered:
"You really should join the literature club..."
……
The two stayed in the library until dusk, and it was not until seven o'clock when the school library closed that Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen packed up and left school.
Although Lu Mingfei could reach home in a few minutes on foot, he could not resist Chen Wenwen's insistence, so he got on Chen Wenwen's Volkswagen Passat and returned home.
During this time, Chen Wenwen also expressed a hint of surprise and asked Lu Mingfei if his home was on a certain road.
Lu Mingfei remembered that that was the place where he and Xia Mi got off the bus when he entered Nibelungen, so he laughed it off and made up an excuse to deal with it.
……
After returning home and finishing today's homework, Chen Wenwen put all her things into her schoolbag. After checking to make sure everything was correct, she glanced at the small clock on the table.
Nine fifty, it’s not too late.
Open the laptop, find a file hidden in the folder, then double-click it, and a word document pops up.
After finishing her homework, she will start "working".
Today, she and Lu Mingfei sorted out the materials for the magazine. She thought the material was very good and felt it could be added to the next chapter to be updated this week.
Of course, the protagonist of the incident should be replaced by Liu Miaomiao from himself.
On the Shilan Middle School forum, many people are urging her to update more, hoping that she can update more. But she has no choice, as she is still a student and is very busy with her studies. She can only spare a little time to write after finishing her homework every night.
More importantly, the person who commissioned her only gave her a small outline each time, so she could only update it bit by bit according to the contents of the outline.
However, the client also said that although the main story must follow the requirements of the outline, if she has good ideas of her own, she can also incorporate some small branches.
Chen Wenwen thinks that the plot of editing the magazine together is very good. It is not deliberate, can give a little sweetness, and can also quietly deepen the relationship between the male and female protagonists.
When the heroine comes to her senses, she suddenly realizes that she and the hero have experienced so much together.
But today, while writing, Chen Wenwen felt a little upset. This is a common situation when writing articles, which means that the current mood is not stable and needs to take a break and do something else to change the mood.
Chen Wenwen's way of changing her mood is to take advantage of this time to take a fragrant bath, relieve body fatigue, and then make a glass of milk to replenish energy!
The shower head sprayed out tiny streams of water, flowing over Chen Wenwen's smooth skin and well-proportioned curves, and warm mist immediately rose throughout the bathroom.
"I didn't expect that Lu Banzhang would also read Yeats..."
Chen Wenwen looked at the water drops dripping from the beginning and suddenly thought.
Perhaps it was really difficult to meet someone with similar interests in school. Chen Wenwen felt happy, but also felt sorry that Lu Mingfei did not join the literature club.
She mustered up her courage to invite Lu Mingfei to join the literature club.
In order to avoid gossip, she also specially invited Zhao Menghua to cover up.
After everything was adjusted, Chen Wenwen, wrapped in a bath towel with her wet hair still draped over her fair and smooth back, sat down at the desk again and reviewed the article she had written today from the beginning.
However, the moment her eyes swept across the densely packed words, she was involuntarily stunned.
It seemed that when she was typing just now, her mind was confused and distracted, so she didn't pay attention and made a mistake accidentally.
I wrote my own name instead of Liu Miaomiao's name in every place where it should be written.
