Chapter 1 Trial
Hot, super hot.
Gu Fuqiao was parched from the heat.
"Master, I swear I'll submit the manuscript soon, don't mess around..." Gu Fuqiao said in a daze, unwilling to open her eyes.
The 'Master' in Gu Fuqiao's mouth is her novel's editor and roommate.
Having an editor as a roommate has its pros and cons; Gu Fuqiao, for missing deadlines, has had the air conditioning turned off three times this month as a warning from the Master.
"Really, hurry up and turn on the air conditioning, I'm going to die from the heat." Gu Fuqiao muttered in protest, but she didn't hear any response from the editor.
Unable to endure the heat, Gu Fuqiao licked her lips with her tongue and rolled over, trying to reach the edge of the bed to get the air conditioning remote.
Her leg was draped over something hard; was there a stick on her bed? Could it be the Master found some weird object to pressure her to write? Placing this random thing on her bed?
Whatever, getting beaten is minor, dying from heat is major!
Gu Fuqiao continued to reach out blindly for the air conditioning remote.
Her small hand swayed around, until suddenly... it landed on something hard, yet slightly elastic.
