The manuscript needs to be continued, Gu Fuqiao considered revising the short story a bit for resubmission, but the little poems can still be submitted because there’s nothing major wrong with them. The journal she previously submitted to is a core journal, which has low requirents for stories but high ones for poetry and prose.
After modifying two articles, Chen Bajin ca to her. Chen Bajin invited her to go to the bookstore to buy books together because she felt she hadn’t read enough books, making it hard for her to get published. Gu Fuqiao just rembered the bookstore she visited last ti, so she nodded in agreent.
She went to the sa bookstore as before with Chen Bajin, the bookstore staff seed to rember her. As soon as they saw her, they ca over and said, "Comrade, finally you’ve co."
Chen Bajin was a bit surprised, "Are you a regular here?"
Gu Fuqiao shook her head and said, "No, I just ca once before when I wanted to buy a book."
"I see." Chen Bajin nodded and then looked around the bookstore and said, "The variety of books here is really comprehensive, even has so foreign books."
"Indeed, our collection is very complete because upstairs is directly the Writers Association." The young man said proudly and then addressed Gu Fuqiao, "Comrade, last ti I asked our Brother Mo for you, and he said there’s no problem!"
With his reminder, Gu Fuqiao recalled that she was interested in a book at the ti, but the staff told her it was an internal exchange book by the Authors Association and not for sale.
"Is that so? Then thank your boss." Gu Fuqiao went to the shelf from before and took down the book she wanted last ti.
Chen Bajin leaned in to take a look and was a bit shocked after catching a glimpse of the content. "The perspectives in this book are really... sensational!"
"Hehe... that’s why only people inside the Writers can read it... if outsiders read it, it wouldn’t be great." The young man sheepishly rubbed his head and chuckled.
Gu Fuqiao shook the book slightly and said to Chen Bajin, "Actually, the ideas inside are quite innovative and unique; maybe many people will agree with them in the future."
"Is that so? I just find it unbelievable," Chen Bajin sighed.
Gu Fuqiao knew people’s thoughts were still quite conservative or traditional, unable to grasp novel and unique points yet. She didn’t urge Chen Bajin to understand, so she said, "Well, there are also outstanding books from other countries on the other shelves; you might want to get a couple to check out."
Chen Bajin nodded and said, "I heard Howling Manor is quite good. I’ll get one to see." Then he turned to another shelf.
Holding the book, Gu Fuqiao was about to go to another shelf when the young man stopped her.
"By the way, almost forgot to tell you, our Brother Mo said that since Comrade, you are interested in this book, you must be talented. Our Brother Mo is an editor in chief of a magazine, If you’re interested, you can submit to him too." The young man’s words sparked hope in Gu Fuqiao; she had just been rejected, was she now getting a backdoor opportunity?
No matter what, this counted as a chance.
Gu Fuqiao nodded and asked, "So what is Brother Mo’s magazine called?"
The young man said, "Southwest University Chronicles."
Southwest University Chronicles! Gu Fuqiao had seen this magazine before; it seed to be a national core journal, a very good magazine. Naturally, Gu Fuqiao also realized, if she could get published in this journal, the fee would certainly be substantial.
"Just submit directly to Brother Mo; this is the magazine’s address." The young man took a pen pinned to his pocket and scribbled the address on a slip of paper.
Gu Fuqiao took a look and found it was one of the submission addresses she had noted before, except the recipient’s na was "Brother Mo" instead of the generic magazine mail. "Thank you."
"No problem." The young man rubbed his head with an embarrassed smile, honestly, he had never seen such a pretty comrade before... prettier than flowers.
After finding Howling Manor, Chen Bajin and the two headed ho.
Gu Fuqiao revised her previously written short story and resubmitted it by sliding it into an envelope again.
After finishing all these, Gu Fuqiao recalled a rather serious issue. She had been in this world for more than a month, took two birth control pills, theoretically wouldn’t get pregnant... but why hadn’t her period co?
Could it be that even after taking the pills, she still got pregnant?
Gu Fuqiao nervously contemplated the effectiveness of the birth control pill; it shouldn’t fail, especially since she got it from the hospital, it wouldn’t be fake.
While she was anxious, Yan Zhen Guo also returned ho. Seeing her sitting alone at the bedside looking worried, he walked up and gently touched her forehead. "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing, I was just thinking... I..." Gu Fuqiao looked up at Yan Zhen Guo then lowered her head again. Honestly, being pregnant now doesn’t seem to be an issue since she’s ant to live with Yan Zhen Guo.
But with taking birth control pills... even if there’s a baby, it shouldn’t be kept, right?
Considering this possibility, Gu Fuqiao felt distressed again.
"Let’s go to the health clinic," Yan Zhen Guo saw Gu Fuqiao not speaking, thought she wasn’t feeling well, he undid his military uniform’s buttons, changed into another outfit, and wanted her to go out with him.
"Forget it, it’s so late, let’s go tomorrow; it’s not an urgent issue." Gu Fuqiao waved her hand and said.
It’s already dark, and Yan Zhen Guo has been busy all day and is so tired. Even if she’s pregnant, it doesn’t need an imdiate rush...
Gu Fuqiao is simply very conflicted.
If she had to terminate the pregnancy, wouldn’t she need to tell Yan Zhen Guo the whole story... Otherwise, how is she different from the original unfortunate female protagonist!
Thinking about it back and forth, Gu Fuqiao felt restless.
"Really don’t need to go, tomorrow morning I’ll let Chen Bajin accompany ." Gu Fuqiao pulled her hand from Yan Zhen Guo’s grip and went to the kitchen to make dinner.
Yan Zhen Guo stared at her back thoughtfully and asked, "Really nothing?"
"Really nothing." Gu Fuqiao responded to him and then turned, but used too much force and bumped her chest against the cabinet.
It felt a bit painful!
Gu Fuqiao looked down and noted her chest seed bigger than before, this... she suddenly rembered what Yan Zhen Guo said, pregnancy causes breasts to enlarge.
Is it possible that she’s really pregnant?
