Her fiance is at it again~ This time with red bean and barley porridge~ Did you know that this is high in fibre and also a diuretic? So if you have water retention and feel tired all the time in the morning, this helps!
Zhao Wenhua? Lu Xi relaxed and leaned against the back of the chair with a pensive expression on his face.
At the neighbouring villa.
Meanwhile Su Jin was diligently crafting a new update status for her latest chapter when she unexpectedly received a message from her editor, Min Fei.
Min Fei: [Is the Master Su Jin online?(1)A staff member from Sheng Ming Productions contacted us about wanting to adapt your web novel 'Sunflower'. They hope to meet with you face to discuss this- are you interested?~]
(1) (sù jǐn dà dà) 素锦大大 - This might seem like Su Jin has done a foolish thing to use her own name online, however, the Chinese characters used are slightly different in her online alias. The character sù '素' here refers to the meaning plain while the character jǐn '锦' means brocade fabric that is made with silk multi-colored threads; alluding to the name meaning to become 'a plain brocade.' As for her own name Su Jin '苏锦', 苏 refers to the Chinese basil (wild red basil) or commonly known as the perilla plant. This is likely due to her imagery of her appearance as being a resplendent beauty that is commonly connected to the color of red.
In Internet slang, da da '大大', is used for the purpose of describing someone as an expert or as a capable person. Namely, this is a way of addressing someone with regards to their work (of art). It indicates the person's (who is speaking) respect towards the writer. Often, this shows incomparable veneration and worship for someone.
Su Jin stared at this message in shock for a short time until the continuous beeping sound from QQ kept buzzing and snapped her out of her daze.(2)
(2) QQ - Also known as Tencent QQ, it is an instant messaging software service, like WhatsApp or Skype, developed by the Shenzhen Tencent Computer System Co., Ltd. It is available in many languages and offers services such as online social games, music, shopping, microblogging, movies and group and voice chats. It is the second most popular virtual community from China, the first being WeChat, with a total of 868 million active user accounts as of December 2016.
Min Fei: [I've already looked it up on my end, and it is definitely a person from Sheng Ming and not some swindler of unknown origins.]
Min Fei: [What Master signed before was only for the online copyrights, therefore, our website will not have a part in the adaption. If Master is interested, I can have the other party's contact details sent to you, and then you can have a meet up?]
