Non-Human Egg Guide

During this period of time, the dream has been repeating, repeating everything I dreamed that night, time and time again, constantly consolidating the impression in Yan Xu's mind.Yan Xu couldn't sleep peacefully every night.It's like women are always running away with their children, and they never stop, every night.

Yan Xu woke up again in the middle of the night, and Jing Qichen was sleeping soundly beside him. Fortunately, Jing Qichen slept well, he didn't grind his teeth, snort or babble, Yan Xu looked at the moonlight coming in from the window. Looking at Jing Qichen's face.

With Danfeng eyes, high nose bridge, flying eyebrows, and knife-thin lips, Jing Qichen must be a cold-blooded heartless man according to his appearance.

Yan Xu smiled, he lowered his head and kissed Jing Qichen's forehead, nose tip and lips.

Jing Qichen hugged Yan Xu's neck in a daze, his voice was soft, hoarse and magnetic, full of masculine allure: "Why don't you continue? Huh?"

Yan Xu smiled and said, "I won't accompany you."

"I know you are very tired." Jing Qichen hugged Yan Xu into his arms.

Jing Qichen's shoulders are broad, his chest is thick, and there is a fragrance of shower gel on his body.If it wasn't for Yan Xu having sex with Jing Qichen before going to sleep, and now his waist is uncomfortable, he would definitely throw himself on this man who belongs to him like a beast.

Yan Xu suddenly asked: "How can you cooperate with humans?"

"That's a long story, I'll get you a glass of water." Jing Qichen went to the living room in his slippers, and returned after pouring two glasses of water.

Yan Xu leaned on the head of the bed, watching this man busy for himself, he has been wandering for so many years with no one to depend on, and now he has a home, a lover who thinks of himself, they love each other and gave birth to life, how is this so? Amazing process.

Jing Qichen put the water glass on the bedside table next to Yan Xu, and then he fell asleep on the bed. He put his arm around Yan Xu's shoulder and said, "That was hundreds of years ago. I didn't come here at that time." The world of people. I have been cultivating in the deep mountains and old forests—not really cultivating, but just living in a daze.”

"A human found me. It was an old man with a white head and a white beard. He said that he had been looking for the phoenix all his life. He believed that the phoenix did not exist."

"That person is very interesting." Jing Qichen said to Yan Xu, "He knows a lot, and told me some stereotyped articles."

"At that time, it was the last dynasty, right? The last dynasty?" Yan Xu still understood the history of his country, knowing that it was the last feudal dynasty in history.

Jing Qichen nodded: "I thought he was interesting, so I gave him one of my feathers, which can protect his health. He won't suffer from illness, even if he dies, he won't die of disease."

"He dedicated that feather to the emperor at that time, in exchange for the glory and wealth of himself and his descendants." Jing Qichen seemed to be telling a story, Yan Xu was not even born hundreds of years ago.

It was a dynasty that Yan Xu had only seen in books.

Jing Qichen smiled: "The emperor found me. He followed my feathers. He came to me and said that he is the emperor of the real dragon and I am the phoenix. Naturally, he should submit to him and protect his country for thousands of years." , Immortal. Father to son, son to grandson, life is endless.”

"You didn't promise him." Yan Xu was determined.

"Am I like a phoenix who would surrender to others?" Jing Qichen took Yan Xu's hand and gently kissed the back of Yan Xu's hand, "I only surrender to you."

The back of Yan Xu's hand was a little itchy, and Jing Qichen's love words were always so easy to say.

"I told the emperor that there have been no dragons in this world for a long time, let alone the possibility of a dragon transforming into a human. The emperor is not a dragon, nor is he just a mortal."

Jing Qichen's eyes were empty, and his memory seemed to go back hundreds of years ago: "He is dying, so come and beg me to give him a few more years. His country is on the right track, people live and work in peace and contentment, prosperous and powerful, ethnic groups It is also converging, and everything is going in a good direction.”

"He also said that I am an auspicious beast and should protect human beings. He has been flattering me. I seldom touch human beings. Although the phoenix itself is proud, it is the first time I have been flattered by others. I agreed to him. I gave him my A drop of blood. He got ten years of life." When Jing Qichen said these things, his face didn't fluctuate at all, and there was even a little bit of disgust, as if he was disgusting with his former self.

"And then?" Yan Xu's curiosity was aroused, he asked, "And then?"

"Then? He got a longer reign. I don't know if the human life at that time was as good as he said. But I was punished by the heavens. I lost thousands of years of cultivation and became weak .Because I influenced the fate of a dynasty." Jing Qichen said suddenly, "Whether it is a demon or a god, as long as you influence a human dynasty, you will be punished. Because I am a phoenix, the punishment I get is relatively light. .”

"You know, we were also created by the Dao of Heaven, and we were born in accordance with the will of the Dao of Heaven. But humans, those weak creatures are the real children of the Dao of Heaven. Compared with humans, we are all raised by stepmothers." This description is really ridiculous, Jing Qichen himself laughed.

"One day, I was summoned by the Dao of Heaven, and the Dao of Heaven told me that I had to help humans." Jing Qichen said, "Since then, I have started to plan my current company to help humans manage monsters and teach them how to help humans." Dealing with monsters, how to control monsters."

Yan Xu didn't know what to say, after all, for Jing Qichen, this was not only a unilateral deprivation, but also controlled Jing Qichen's freedom.He was imprisoned by the law of heaven, and he couldn't even let himself go back to his free world, but could only work for human beings for nothing.

Even the wages of employees have to figure out their own way.

God knows when human beings ask Jing Qichen if he needs to be paid, how uncomfortable he feels when he says no.

Those of his property are his collections, his treasures.

But they couldn't keep any of them, and the collections they still had in their hands would be sold one after another in the future.

"Is there no way to get rid of the way of heaven?" Yan Xu asked, "After so many years, should I let you go free?"

Jing Qichen didn't seem to care much, he kissed Yan Xu's forehead: "I'm used to it, you see, if I hadn't cooperated with humans and been enslaved by Heaven, how could I have met you? Maybe Heaven finally understood, Give me a sweet date after you give me a stick."

Yan Xu smiled and said, "You compare me to a sweet date."

Jing Qichen looked at him, didn't speak, neither did Yan Xu, their eyes were entangled.I don't know who kissed him first.By the time Yan Xu realized it, the two were already inseparable.

Even Jing Qichen disheveledly opened Yan Xu's pajamas with both hands, while Yan Xu weakly resisted, at the same time he couldn't help pandering.

When Jing Qichen reached for Yan Xu's waist, Yan Xu finally abandoned his reason.

Low back pain is not enough to make you reject your lover.

The result of such a night of indulgence was that Yan Xu couldn't get out of bed at all the next day. He felt that his waist was about to break, and the culprit was making breakfast in the kitchen in his sexy shorts.

Eggy and Xiaodun were still awake, Yan Xu rubbed his waist, he went to the bathroom to check his belly, the veins had disappeared, and he looked healthy.

Yan Xu touched his stomach, he could feel an egg inside.Just like when he had balls.

But because it is not viviparous, the induction with the child is not as strong as that of a human pregnant woman.

This child's vitality is really tenacious. I have experienced so many things during this period, and this child is still fine in his belly.

However, Yan Xu's figure didn't lose shape, and his stomach didn't get bigger. The egg was so small that it was about the size of two fists when he touched it through his belly. Yan Xu even suspected that the child was malnourished.

Jing Qichen had already made breakfast. He walked into the bathroom, put his arms around Yan Xu's waist from behind, and rested his chin on Yan Xu's shoulder. He looked in the mirror. The two people in the mirror were very intimate. I know they are lovers.

"Did you finish brushing your teeth? I'll wake the kids up."

Yan Xu raised his head and kissed Jing Qichen: "Do you think I brushed my teeth?"

Jing Qichen laughed, he had a pair of red phoenix eyes, and he was very seductive when he smiled.

"Go." Yan Xu said.

The children woke up sleepy. Children of this age are always lethargic. Eggy sleeps for ten hours a day, but when she just woke up, she still looked sleepy.

"Mom, what are you having for breakfast this morning? I don't want to eat bread." Eggy's tone was pitiful. During this time, Jing Qichen has been slacking off, and breakfast usually consists of bread or sandwiches.

Jing Qichen rubbed Dandan's little head, his son's hair was limp, Jing Qichen was very proud: "I have porridge today, and there are steamed buns, steamed buns, fermented bean curd."

Eggy still seemed dissatisfied, he pouted, "Eggy wants to eat fried dough sticks and drink soy milk."

"How about tomorrow? Mommy will go out and buy it for you tomorrow." Jing Qichen coaxed.

Eggy quickly let go of all dissatisfaction, and threw herself into Jing Qichen's arms, with her little head on Jing Qichen's chest: "Mom is the best."

"Where's Xiao Dun'er? Is there anything you want to eat?" Jing Qichen looked at Xiao Dun'er who was standing beside him.

Xiao Dun'er thought about it, he has fully integrated into this family now, he is no longer as timid as before: "I want to eat corn, I want to eat two corns tomorrow morning."

Probably because of getting along with classmates at school, Xiao Duner no longer calls himself by his nickname like before.

"Okay, buy soy milk fritters for Dandan and corn for Xiaoduner." Jing Qichen picked up both children and put them on their stools.

Yan Xu pretended to walk steadily, and sat down in his own seat.

After breakfast, Yan Xu and Jing Qichen sent their two children to school. In addition, Yan Xu also went to the publishing house.There was no negotiation on the price with the other side, and Yan Xu's group of photos on the official website of the event became the main background of the title bar of the official website, and took the first place.

Unlike other events where there are a lot of firsts, this event has only one, which has a high gold content.

Yan Xu sat in the car and opened Weibo to read, and found that his private messages and comments had exploded, all of which were congratulations from Qing Yishui, and then asked him when the photobook would be published.

Several editors from publishing houses in other places also left messages and private messages to him, asking if there is any opportunity for cooperation this time.

Now is the Internet age, many things have been exposed, and the price is basically transparent.

The publishing house that Yan Xu is now going to is his old club, and he did cooperate closely with him a few years ago, and the number of cooperations is also many, but this is not the reason for him to sell his works at a low price. So short of money.

"How much was it before?" Jing Qichen asked suddenly, he didn't quite understand how to calculate money, "Did the publishing house give you all the money at once? Or something?"

Yan Xu shook his head: "What you're talking about is a buyout. As long as you're not too stupid, you won't do it. Usually it's divided. It's based on the edition, and it's divided once each time it is released. Generally, the publishing house gets [-]%, and the photographer Take [-]%."

"But this time they want [-]%, and I can only take [-]%. I can't accept this. If I can't agree, I will switch to another company."

Yan Xu is also very tired now. It is the industry's rule to take the third tier, and other publishing houses do it like this.But this time the [-]-[-] opening is really a bit too much.

It's working time now, the street is very congested, and there are cars everywhere, crowded and blocked on the road.A red light can block hundreds of meters.The driver next to him was sitting in the car with the windows open and cursing. This one seemed impatient.

Fortunately, Jing Qichen was not in a hurry, nor was Yan Xu, the two of them just sat in the car and waited. When there was a traffic jam, there was an old lady running between the cars, knocking on the windows one by one, asking the car owner if he wanted to buy flowers, and occasionally they could buy flowers. It sells, and occasionally it doesn't.It has been raining lightly for the past two days, and the road is wet and slippery. The old lady is wearing a pair of cloth shoes, and she looks quite old.

She finally knocked on the window on Yan Xu's side, and Yan Xu rolled down the window.

"How much are these?" Yan Xu asked.

Knowing that she had met a good man, the old lady hurriedly said: "There are 32 in total, let me count you as thirty."

Yan Xu handed over the money, and the old lady took the money, with a more sincere smile on her face: "Young man, you are so kind."

"Even if you bought them all now, she would still pick the flowers and sell them. What's the use?" Jing Qichen didn't quite understand.

Yan Xu smiled: "Maybe she can go to rest for 10 minutes now."

When the light turned green, Jing Qichen started the car.

Jing Qichen is not human, and sometimes he can't understand human feelings, such as sympathy and the like.

After crossing the overpass and crossing most of the city, Yan Xu and Jing Qichen finally drove to the downstairs of the publishing house.

This is not a particularly large publishing house. Although the name is famous and it is considered one of the best in China, it is actually just a small branch. The entire office is less than [-] square meters, and there are seven or eight employees sitting there.The working environment isn't bad, but it's not really great either.

Yan Xu's editor was inside, Yan Xu called her first, and saw the woman running down in a hurry.

She was wearing a white shirt, a black hip skirt, and a pair of black high heels.Her hair is brown and wavy, and she wears aunt's red lipstick. She is not beautiful, but she is not ugly, and she has a special temperament.

"Come up and sit with me first, our boss will talk to you in person." The woman was very enthusiastic, with a smile on her face, and she seemed to have a very close relationship with Yan Xu.This editor has been in charge of Yan Xu, and the relationship between the two is not bad, and occasionally they chat about what to shoot for the next theme.

Yan Xu sighed, and finally decided to give his old editor a face.

The conference room and the office are integrated, but there is an extra transparent door. The outside can see the inside clearly, and the voice of speaking can also be heard.

The boss is a middle-aged man with a not too big beer belly, wearing a suit and trousers, very formal.

The editor asked Yan Xu to sit in the conference room first, then poured Yan Xu a cup of tea, and the boss came over after a while.Jing Qichen was waiting at the door, but didn't go in.

"Sorry, I was too busy just now, and there are many things." The boss apologized as soon as he opened the door, and then shook hands with Yan Xu.

Yan Xu didn't pay much attention to these things, and asked straightforwardly: "Three sevens are fine, but twenty-eight I definitely won't do it."

The boss obviously didn't expect Yan Xu to be so straightforward. Logically speaking, shouldn't he compliment and test each other first, and come and talk with me for a while before discussing money?The boss was a little confused, but obviously he didn't want to let go of his own interests: "Haven't we been cooperating for so long? We were selling your photo album at a loss, and we knew how many copies we sold, but we didn't even get back the money. "

Yan Xu didn't quite believe it: "You are businessmen, not a charity organization. If you really lose money, you will keep looking for me? I'm not stupid."

The boss has an expression of "what I say is true, you have to believe me". He is fat, big-eared, very handsome, and he smiles like a Maitreya Buddha. That is to say, I also saw that you were in a difficult life before, and you have been cooperating with us, so I never said it in order not to hurt your self-esteem. And you also know that you were not well-known at the time, and you couldn’t get good results if you went out to find other publishing houses The price, maybe even the manuscript can’t pass.”

"You want to repay your kindness?" Yan Xu felt a little uncomfortable, "And you can't say it's a kindness, right? I exchanged my work, and you don't think it's worth it. Give me the money."

The boss lit a cigarette and shook his head: "You should know that booksellers are not easy to do now. Who would pay for the text and pictures that can be downloaded on the computer? The Internet is so developed and there are so many pirated copies. If it weren't for us I'm advertising for you, helping you distribute goods, and you still have money for food?"

"The record industry is almost doomed because of piracy." Boss Xiaozhi reasoned emotionally, "It's not easy for us all, and we should work together at this juncture, right? Otherwise, only those piracy websites will benefit .”

After talking for a long time, Yan Xu was almost dizzy, he waved his hand: "No, we are here to discuss the manuscript fee, I will not talk about this with you first."

Yan Xu didn't want to directly say that he could find another publishing house to do it. This publishing house has cooperated with him for a long time, and both parties still know each other well, and there is a friendship, so it is not good to directly say such hurtful words.

"Three sevens, I can't accept twenty-eight." Yan Xu said, "You agreed to send me a copywriter before, but you didn't send anyone afterward. This set of photos has nothing to do with you."

The boss smiled: "Don't just agree, we still have room for discussion."

It seems that this person didn't intend to give up, and he didn't intend to continue talking at this point, Yan Xu stood up, his face was very cold: "My bottom line is this, if you can't come out, I will find another publishing house .”

"You knew how we treated you before. I'm afraid it's not good to make the relationship so difficult for such a small amount of money? We still have a little influence in the industry." The boss smiled like a smiling tiger.

Yan Xu was stunned: "Are you threatening me?"

"I didn't threaten you." The boss's attitude seemed to be good, with a smile all the time, but his language was aggressive.

As a businessman, this is impossible.

Yan Xu knew that there would be no agreement this time, so he shook his head: "Then we have nothing to talk about."

The boss didn't force him to stay: "Okay."

Yan Xu pushed open the glass door, and the editor was sitting in front of his desk. Seeing Yan Xu coming out, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.But after seeing his boss, he still kept his mouth shut.

After waiting for Yan Xu to leave, the boss touched his stomach and said to the editorial department: "Send the manuscript."

Yan Xu and Jing Qichen left the office building. Looking at Yan Xu's expression, Jing Qichen probably guessed that there was no negotiation. He patted Yan Xu's shoulder: "Didn't we agree?"

Yan Xu nodded: "He made me look like an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, but I have always been honest and made a fair deal. He felt that he was losing money, so he just didn't sign me. What's the point of saying this now."

What Yan Xu was angry with was not that they were so ruthless about suppressing the manuscript fee, but that they made themselves worthless, as if they were nothing without them.The work was also slandered, Yan Xu couldn't accept it.

Even clay figurines are three-point bloody, and rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry.

"Losing money?" Jing Qichen didn't quite understand, "Do you need anything to publish a book? How about I give it to you?"

Yan Xu shook his head: "It's mainly troublesome. Printing is convenient. Just find a printing factory. But you have to buy ISBNs and buy them in bookstores. These are the most troublesome places. You have to contact e-commerce companies, which takes a lot of time."

Yan Xu went to the milk tea shop on the street to buy two cups of green tea, it was still early and Jing Qichen was not busy, so he found a place to sit and chat.

Jing Qichen listened to Yan Xuhe's conversation with the boss of the publishing house, and Jing Qichen understood it. He asked, "Is it a loss when he said that he lost money? You take a share. If you really lose money, you How can I still get the money?"

Yan Xu sighed: "He was talking about my first photobook, and only one batch was sent out, which is indeed a loss. But the problem is that all the signings after that made money. I don't feel bad, they are in I made more money than I lost.”

The issue of money is not the main issue, but the issue of this superior attitude.

If the publishing house is short of money, tell yourself seriously, it's okay for you to regress.

But I really can't accept this kind of almighty gesture of charity.
