What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 92

During the meal, Chu Ge still felt that the scrambled eggs he cooked were not that good. He had put too little salt, so they were too bland. Although they weren’t terrible, they were far from the level of the scrambled eggs Qiu Wuji usually made.

Chu Ge didn’t eat much himself, mainly focusing on the twices-cooked pork and pan-fried fish that she made after taking over.

Qiu Wuji, on the other hand, kept eating the plate of scrambled eggs and soon almost finished it.

It seemed like a game of “I eat yours, you eat mine”…

Chu Ge couldn’t help but say, “These eggs are not that great… Eat more meat.”

Qiu Wuji smiled slightly and replied, “I think they’re good. Maybe I had too many sweets today, so it’s nice to have something light.”

Chu Ge tilted his head and looked at her for a while, not quite getting it.

Qiu Wuji smiled, lowered her head, and continued eating. He wasn’t as skilled as the characters in his own book, and that was fine. If it were those characters he wrote about, they probably would have already flirted and teased each other. But that wasn’t what he was thinking. It would shatter the mood if it went that way. His own silly and confused expression was quite adorable.

She slowly spoke, “I think you can cook too. If you’re helping me with work, does being my assistant in the kitchen count?”

Chu Ge felt a bit apologetic and said, “Honestly, I’m really busy right now, so I can only do it occasionally.”

Qiu Wuji thought for a moment and, although somewhat regretful, nodded in agreement.

He was currently practicing and writing at the same time, so his time was indeed tight. It had been the same before. She went to buy groceries and cooked just to make sure he wouldn’t be bothered by trivial matters and could focus on writing.

For both of them, Chu Ge’s work was of utmost importance. It wasn’t just about earning money to support the family; it encompassed much deeper significance. Qiu Wuji felt that at least in this aspect, she had to assist him well.

What? In the early days, she thought about taking a sword and finishing him off?

Did such a thing ever happen?

Chu Ge was still speaking, “When I have free time, I’ll accompany you to buy groceries and cook together. After updating the book, we can also go to other places for fun. There are many interesting places you haven’t been to yet. Oh, right, bring your laptop. We can even consider going on a trip since you have your ID now…”

Qiu Wuji chuckled helplessly and said, “What about the pandemic? We can talk about traveling later.”

“Some places can still be visited,” Chu Ge said. “Also, I just checked, and today the payment for my book arrived in my account, including the income from Zhang Qiren’s support. This month’s earnings are considerable. Plus, there will be bonuses coming in a few days. I’ve never had such a substantial fortune… If there’s something you like, you can buy it…”

Seeing his proud expression, Qiu Wuji shook her head, stood up, and started cleaning the dishes. “The income from Zhang Qiren and the reward from the wanted criminal is not a regular source. Where would all those Zhang Qiren and Rong Fu characters come from? Calm down and go back to writing, Master. Haven’t you finished your ten thousand words today?”

Confused, Chu Ge returned to his room to continue writing, feeling that Qiu Wuji’s attitude was strange today… He couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was off.

But he didn’t dwell on it. Today, there were too many things going on, and he hadn’t completed his tasks. Chu Ge even planned to write a bit more because of today’s recommendation.

Furthermore, he now had some rankings on the power rankings. The rankings were calculated based on word count and performance. So even though his ten thousand words were far behind the twenty or thirty thousand words written by others, his ranking wasn’t low, and he had decent exposure. Chu Ge intended to maintain that.

The highly recommended bestsellers and the considerable income that arrived today were like injections of good motivation, enough to make one roar and charge forward.

Chu Ge quickly immersed himself in the storyline and didn’t frequently interrupt his writing to chat with Qiu Wuji… It was something he couldn’t do often as it easily disrupted his thoughts. He tried his best.

Qiu Wuji finished cleaning the dishes and tidied up the kitchen, but she didn’t continue writing her autobiography.

She leaned against the door and quietly watched Chu Ge immerse himself in his creative process. The keyboard rhythmically clacked, and it had a certain sense of rhythm. Occasionally, it would pause, and he would lean back in his chair, contemplating. His hand would unconsciously reach for the can of cola on the table and take a sip.

After taking a sip, it seemed like his thoughts resumed, and he hurriedly put down the can and continued typing.

People say that men engrossed in their work are the most charming, but Qiu Wuji didn’t feel that way. She only felt that he was working hard. After attempting to write herself, she had a deeper understanding of it.

She pondered for a moment and suddenly turned around to boil a pot of water.

As Chu Ge continued typing, a fragrant breeze brushed past him, and a cup of tea was placed on the table, emitting steam. He turned his head in astonishment and met Qiu Wuji’s smiling face. “Drink less cola and have more tea. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the tea shop and buy something decent. This ten-yuan-per-pack tea really won’t do…”

Chu Ge still looked confused. They had been together for so long, but Qiu Wuji had never voluntarily poured tea for him before…

“What’s with that expression?” Qiu Wuji snorted and walked away. “Isn’t that what your apprentice, employee, assistant… should do? Oh, right, Panda got injured. I need to go remind him about the avatar. It’s been so long…”

Chu Ge stood there with his mouth half open. He couldn’t have imagined Qiu Wuji would become so addicted to cosplaying in the group as an employee and assistant.

Too bad she was wearing pajamas. If she wore that early version of the OL skirt and black stockings, it would have been even more fitting.

Qiu Wuji sat back at her computer in a huff, opened QQ, and was about to scold some characters. It had been so many days, and it was just an avatar. Other people have made several figurines already, you know! If even the avatar is like this, what about birthdays and cards in the future!

Just as she opened QQ, a message flashed in the pinned group chat:

Blue Pill: “Is my avatar awesome?”

Group members: “It is.”

Blue Pill: “This is our Autumn’s Q-style avatar!”

Group members: “What the hell? You’re using your privileges for personal gain! Master Qiu hasn’t even changed it yet, and you’re already using it?”

Panda sent a crossed-arm emoji: “I’m working even while injured. I’m still in the hospital, and I’m still beating up people. Isn’t this kind of personal gain expected?”

The group members paid no attention to his hospitalization and had no idea that his so-called “beating up” was actually real. They commented on the avatar: “Isn’t it too cute? Where’s the domineering Master Qiu?”

There were also those who opposed: “It’s hard to make a Q-style avatar look domineering. Once the domineering aspect stands out, it takes away from my Qiu Qiu’s intellectual charm!”

“Get lost! Who said Qiu Qiu is yours?”

“My Qiu Qiu is also cute. The image of her banging her head on the stone gate is still imprinted in my heart…”

The group chat started to go off-topic.

Qiu Wuji: “…”

She clicked on Panda’s avatar, and indeed, the previous panda head had been replaced with a Q-style ancient costume girl. She carried a long sword, had a big head and big eyes, and was clearly trying to convey a sense of dominance, but she ended up looking like a spoiled and cute character.

Is this me?

Qiu Wuji felt a bit dazed.

Such a cute version of me.

“Ding, ding, ding,” a private message notification sounded. Qiu Wuji clicked on it in a daze, and it was Panda seeking approval: “Master Qiu, what do you think of this avatar?”

Qiu Wuji saw her own fingers moving: “It’s pretty good, let’s go with this one.”

“Great!” Panda happily replied, “I think Master Qiu is just this cute!”

Qiu Wuji typed: “How’s your injury?” After realizing her mistake, she deleted the message and replaced it with: “Why are you in the hospital?”

“Wuwuwu, Master Qiu is so good. You care about my hospitalization, those heartless people…”

Qiu Wuji: “It’s only natural. Are you okay?”

Panda replied, “I’m fine, just a minor injury. This old brother has the help of the Calabash Brothers to fight off monsters and cross water as if it were flat ground.”

Qiu Wuji: “?”

“I want Qiuqiu to come and comfort me…” Red exclamation mark. Message failed to send. Please add the recipient as a friend first.

Panda: “?”

Sitting on the hospital bed, Panda was puzzled. How did he get blocked? He was just helping her with the avatar, and in the previous message, she was still concerned about his well-being. How did it turn into a block?

With a stern expression, Qiu Wuji saved the avatar image, first changing it for the author backend, and then changing her QQ and WeChat avatars as well.

Finally, she became a person with an avatar and didn’t want to use that penguin one anymore.

Blocked? You still want the help of Calabash Brothers, but I’m the Sixth Brother! I’ll block you until next year!
