I rely on talking to brush the copy

Le Jing stepped out of the house and looked at the blue sky above his head, feeling as if he was in another world.

Including today, he had not seen the sky for ten days. In the past ten days, he had been bedridden due to severe withdrawal reactions, feeling confused and half dead. Even though he had always been mentally strong, he would still be terrified when he thought of the pain and embarrassment of those days.

At that time, he was really like a mad dog. If he hadn't asked the servants to tie him up, he would definitely kill the servants who refused to provide him with opium - even if the servants were just following his previous orders - no wonder Le Zhengye said that drug addicts were no longer human.

But his hard work was not in vain. After a week, his withdrawal reaction slowly subsided. After three days of conditioning in bed, he was finally able to get out of bed and walk a few steps today.

He should be thankful that Li Jingran, this dude, is just a heavy smoker. He has not (or has not had time to) try heroin, cocaine, morphine and other drugs that are more addictive and more harmful. Otherwise, he may have to quit drugs for life.

As soon as Li Shuran walked into the courtyard, she saw her elder brother standing at the door with a sick face. She trotted over and said, "Brother, why did you come out? You are not well yet, go in and lie down."

Meeting Li Shuran's eyes full of concern and worry, Le Jing was slightly startled, and his heart was a little complicated. If Le Jing took Li Shuran away from the Li residence before just to take on the obligations of the original body, then after these few days of getting along, it is difficult for him to regard Li Shuran as a cold responsibility.

Li Shuran is a good girl. Even though Li Jingran was not a good brother before, after she learned the "truth" from Le Jing and realized that everything was a "misunderstanding", the child immediately approached and took care of Le Jing with more than ten times the enthusiasm before.

During the ten days when Le Jing was lying dead after drug rehabilitation, Li Shuran asked about everything from time to time and cared about everything. If it weren't for the difference between men and women, the little girl would have wanted to take over the servant's job to help Le Jing clean and dress.

Like a stray cat, clinging to the kind-hearted person who adopted her.

Although Le Jing was drowsy these days, he saw all of Li Shuran's actions. Although he was naturally indifferent to emotions, he was still somewhat touched by the little girl's offensive.

So facing the little girl's concerned eyes, the smile in his eyes was rare and sincere: "It's okay." He waved his hand and smiled: "I have been lying in bed for more than a week. It's time to move around, otherwise my body will rust."

The boy's smile was warm and gentle. Being watched by such gentle eyes, Li Shuran felt as if she was bathing in the sun, and her whole body was warm.

Li Shuran's face flushed, and when she saw the thin clothes on Le Jing, she frowned again and said anxiously: "Why did you go out in thin clothes? What if you catch a cold?!" She walked into the room quickly, picked up the coat from the bedside and put it on Le Jing, and then her eyes were red for her brother's thin body, and her tears were crystal clear: "Brother, you are my only relative, you have to take care of yourself!"

Le Jing gathered his coat and repeatedly assured the little girl that he would take good care of himself in the future, and then coaxed the little girl to laugh.

His crazy and miserable state of drug withdrawal in the past few days scared the little girl, so it's no wonder that she treated him like a porcelain doll.

Recalling the little girl's sobbing in his ears during the days when he was bedridden and confused, Le Jing couldn't help but feel a little complicated. Although Li Shuran was only a few years younger than him, it might be because he was too precocious that he subconsciously always treated Li Shuran as a child.

He couldn't help but reach out and rub the little girl's head, sighing in his heart: What a naive and silly girl. The dirty and dark Li family can still give birth to such a child, which really proves the old saying: good bamboo shoots come out of bad bamboo.

A good girl like Li Shuran deserves to live a carefree, happy and healthy life.

Looking down at Li Shuran's dark eyes full of surprise and deep admiration, Le Jing uncomfortably withdrew his hand, coughed lightly with embarrassment, and calmly changed the subject: "It's windy outside, come in and talk."

He led the little girl to sit in the living room, talked and laughed with her for a while, and then got to the point when the atmosphere was harmonious: "Did anyone from home come to visit me during the days when I quit drugs?"

Li Shuran, who was originally smiling, turned pale when she heard the word "home". She rubbed the corner of her clothes in panic and whispered: "At first, my wife sent someone to ask, and then my father... the master also came."

Le Jing only heard Li Shuran call Li Tingye the master, and he knew Bai was not without resentment towards Li Tingye. He patted her hand in a soothing manner and said softly, "Don't be afraid. I'm here and won't let them bully you again."

"I'm not afraid." Li Shuran shook her head, her eyes sparkling, and her face couldn't help but curl up: "Uncle scolded the master away." She snickered, "Uncle was so fierce that the master almost fell when he came out."

What Li Shuran didn't say was that after discovering Li Shuran standing aside, Li Tingye glared at her fiercely, his eyes were angry and cold as if he was looking at a disobedient dog. It was that look that completely broke the thin father-daughter relationship between Li Shuran and Li Tingye.

Le Jing felt relieved. Although he knew that Li Tingfang's character was recorded in history books, he still breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Tingfang really kept his word. There were still twenty days left before the one-month deadline between him and Li Tingfang, and he had to hurry up.

But before that, there was one thing that needed to be confirmed.

Le Jing probed: "Shu Ran, if the master and the mistress ask you to go home one day, will you go back?"

Li Shu Ran immediately shook her head and answered firmly: "Even if they ask me to go back, they must have bad intentions, so I won't go back!" She grabbed Le Jing's sleeve and said anxiously: "I want to follow my brother, wherever my brother goes, I will go!" She was not stupid. Compared with the master and the mistress who treated her like a cat and a dog, it was naturally the elder brother with a warm smile and eyes who was more worthy of reliance.

Le Jing carefully observed Li Shu Ran's expression and understood that these were her true words. In this way, his biggest concern disappeared completely.

He nodded and said solemnly: "I understand. You will follow me from now on. Big brother will let you live a good life."

Thinking of the lousy couple Li Tingfang and Wang, Le Jing was so angry that he was even a clay man. He lowered his eyes to hide the dark coldness in his eyes, and whispered softly in Li Shuran's ear: "Shuran, do you want to destroy the Li family?"

He waited patiently. After a short silence, a crisp voice sounded: "I don't want to." The girl's expression was sincere and serious, "Brother has more important things to do, there is no need to dirty your hands for those people."

Le Jing blinked, the coldness in his eyes faded, and he rubbed the girl's head with a sigh and a smile: "Good child."

Such a clear and clean child can especially arouse his desire to protect.

Only Li Jingran, that idiot, is blind. Not only did he miss this good girl, but he also regarded the kind-looking but bitter wife as his own mother.

"Master, I have bought the newspapers you asked me to buy."

Li Shuran looked towards the door, her eyes fixed on the thick stack of newspapers in the servant's arms. No wonder there was no one serving in my brother's room just now. I didn't expect that my brother sent him out to buy newspapers. My brother never read newspapers before... Was that a trick to deceive his wife? He is worthy of being my brother!

Le Jing had no idea that Li Shuran, the new brother, had praised him again in his heart. He just took the newspaper from the servant and glanced at it.

There are more than a dozen newspapers here, all of which are popular on the market, including local tabloids and national newspapers. The content of these newspapers not only reflects the contemporary aesthetic trends more comprehensively, but also reflects the style of each publication. If Le Jing wants to contribute, he must think about these things thoroughly.

After careful consideration, he picked out two newspapers, one is the more famous local tabloid "Fengtian Miscellaneous News", and the other is the national newspaper "Literature Newspaper".

The former is somewhat similar to the street literature in modern society (such as storytelling), which publishes eye-catching and bizarre stories. Le Jing saw a novel called "The Case of Affair and Dismemberment" on the front page, which is both erotic and thriller. Therefore, although "Fengtian Miscellaneous News" is widely circulated in the local area, it has never been on the stage (after all, those who like to read this kind of newspaper are not serious intellectuals).

The status of the latter "Literature Newspaper" is beyond the reach of "Fengtian Miscellaneous Newspaper". "Literature Newspaper" is headquartered in Beiping. It is a national newspaper and magazine. It enjoys a certain degree of popularity in various provinces of China. It also has a branch in Fengtian City. The works published in the newspaper are all masterpieces of famous writers, with elegant content and profound thoughts. Many works have even been included in the Chinese textbooks of later generations.

From a selfish point of view, Le Jing wanted to submit his works to "Literature Newspaper". It was too tempting for him to have his works published in the same newspaper with those writers and writers who left their names in history! But after calming down, he still chose "Fengtian Miscellaneous News" as the platform for publishing his first work.

"Literary Newspaper" is a national newspaper after all, with high thresholds for publishing works and strict editors. Although he carefully studied the style of the Literary Newspaper in modern society because he admired several writers in the "Literary Newspaper" of the Republic of China, and also imitated the semi-literary and semi-vernacular style of the time to write several articles. But that was just for his own amusement. If the work he sent out this time was rejected, his time and energy would be wasted. And what he can't waste the most now is time.

He "ran away from home" too suddenly this time, and he was almost penniless. The money for buying newspapers was "pocket money" given by Li Tingfang, so he had to save enough money for the remaining 20 days to run away. Therefore, "Fengtian Miscellaneous Newspaper", which has a low entry threshold and few rules, is his best choice.

As for "Literary Newspaper", it won't be too late for him to test the waters after he and Li Shuran settle down.

The author has something to say:

"Fengtian Miscellaneous News" and "Literary Newspaper" are both fictional newspapers I created. The same is true for other newspapers and magazines. They are all fictional and have no prototypes. Don't take them for granted.

Guess what Le Jing's first novel will be about? Let me make it clear first, it's not an erotic novel233333
