It's around six o'clock in the evening.

Although the dinner prepared here will provide food until seven o'clock in the evening, by this time, the well-fed and drunk authors have already gone out to play together.

The male authors went wherever they wanted, and the female authors also held hands and went out shopping and exploring shops.

Only Li Luo, a minor, was forgotten at the dinner.

Of course, he was also happy with it.

Taking advantage of his young age, Li Luo asked the waitress next to him to help him pack a stack of egg tarts and grilled wings, and took away a few bottles of drinks and a few cans of beer.

If this matter were to be dealt with by other big-name authors, it would be somewhat ugly.

But when it comes to Li Luo, a 16-year-old kid, it's completely understandable.

The waitress was worried that he would not feel it was enough, so she asked him if he wanted something else.

However, Li Luo was already quite full, so he didn't ask for more. He waved his hands repeatedly, then politely thanked him and followed Qianzhou out of the restaurant.

"You're really rude." Qianzhou glanced at the egg tart in his hand and couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, "After all, he's a big author with a monthly income of 370,000, but he's still greedy for such a small advantage."

"I just think it's shameful to waste food, and I can't bear to let the food go to waste like this." Li Luo said shamelessly.

"Then you're just worrying about it." Qianzhou said, "Anything you can't finish at the buffet dinner will definitely be given to the waiters. They'd rather you eat less."

"Would you like one from the editor?" Li Luo handed over an egg tart.

Qianzhou looked at it and touched his belly. He was the editor after all, and he had just shamelessly chatted with many authors.

With the help of the editor-in-chief Hongdou, I also added a lot of writer friends, and I casually dealt with a few bites in the middle. I was really not full at the moment.

So he reached out his hand, took the egg tart, and took a bite.

Of course he didn't add those author friends just to poach other editors.

But sometimes, authors also have their own circles. Occasionally, there may be friends who are familiar with the author who want to write a book, and they will recommend a few reliable editors.

Anyway, regardless of whether it is useful or not, I will add it first and then talk about it.

Especially for some big bosses, if their new book hits the market several times, they may be embarrassed to stay under the original editor.

If you want to change your vest and secretly open a new book, you may find a new editor like him.

Before Qianzhou fished Zhongran out of the new book pond, he had already doubted whether Zhongran was the reincarnation of a certain big boss.

So this possibility is not impossible.

"Follow me to the 8th floor first." After walking into the hotel elevator, Qianzhou pressed the button for the 8th floor, and then said, "I still have the certificate and bonus for going to bed early. You can come with me to get it, and then

I’m just going to pack my bags and catch the high-speed train.”

"OK." Li Luo nodded, and while eating egg tarts, he followed Qianzhou to his room and received the certificate and bonus that belonged to Xu Youyu.

However, after getting it, he didn't leave without hesitation. Instead, he stayed in Qianzhou's room, helped him pack his luggage, and then sent him downstairs and said goodbye at the door of the hotel.

"The next time we meet, I hope it will be at the annual meeting of Wenyue Group." Qianzhou waved at him and smiled before getting into a taxi, "Then it will be time to announce that you have become the great master of Qidian."

"I'd like to lend you some kind words." Li Luo waved his hand and said goodbye to the editor.

After watching Qianzhou leave in a taxi, Li Luo returned to the hotel and his room.

After taking a simple shower, he heard a knock on the door outside the bathroom.

"Coming."

Li Luo wore a bathrobe, tightened his belt, walked to the door and opened it, only to see a walking corpse, staggering lifelessly, walking in from the door, without even looking at him, and walked straight to

Beside his bed, he plopped down on the bed.

Li Luo blinked, a little unresponsive.

We went out for dinner, why did it end up like this?

After closing the door to the room, Li Luo walked to the bedside, leaned down suspiciously, and looked at Xu Youyu's profile from the side.

As a result, I saw Xu Youyu with a lifeless expression, staring blankly ahead without focus.

"What's wrong?" Li Luo raised his hand and waved in front of his eyes, "Isn't it because your novel writing was exposed?"

Perhaps this sentence triggered a sensitive nerve in Xu Youyu, and her eyes suddenly moved.

His mouth moved slightly, and he weakly responded: "It's not exposed, but it's still pretty bad."

"It would be great if it wasn't exposed. What else could be bad?" Li Luo said, picking up the second prize certificate for the essay "Entertainment Dream, Urban Spring and Autumn" and placing it in front of Xu Youyu, solemnly

Announced——

"The work that won the second prize in this essay competition is "Literary Age", and the author will grow taller if you go to bed early. Please come on stage to receive the award!"

After finishing speaking, Li Luo held the certificate in both hands and handed it to Xu Youyu respectfully.

Xu Youyu looked at his impressive imitation, and the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched.

Seeing that she still had no reaction, Li Luo took out the bonus red envelope containing cash and patted it in the palm of his hand. Then he opened the red envelope and took out a hundred red banknotes from it.

"Forget the certificate, don't you want the bonus? If you don't want it, just give it to me."

Even after swiping, Li Luo couldn't see which hand it was.

Anyway, by the time he reacted, the banknotes in his hand had disappeared, and Xu Youyu stuffed them under his stomach and pressed them firmly.

"Isn't he still alive?" Li Luo was speechless. "If you don't explain the situation, I will ask Uncle Xu."

"No!" Upon hearing this, Xu Youyu suddenly seemed to be stressed out and screamed loudly. He jumped up from the bed and hugged Li Luo, fearing that he would go out to find her father in the next second.

Li Luo was hugged by her and was stunned for a moment: "I'm just talking, why are you having such a big reaction?"

"Who knows if you are serious?" Xu Youyu's sad tone contained a hint of crying, "I'm really going to die now. I feel no different from death."

"So what happened?"

"It's not all my dad." Xu Youyu leaned on Li Luo's shoulder and cried. "After dinner, he suddenly said that he should read some Internet articles during the winter vacation. He opened the book and pointed at my book and called the name.

Said he would read this book."

Having said this, Xu Youyu felt even more sad. After letting go of Li Luo, he lay down on the bed again, tossing and turning.

Li Luo looked at her like this and immediately felt funny.

However, he still got up and came to the bedside, took egg tarts and chicken wings from the table, opened two cans of beer, and comforted Xu Youyu on the bed: "Eat something, drink some wine by the way, I will accompany you."

"I'm not very hungry." Xu Youyu touched his stomach, but when he saw the beer in Li Luo's hand, he took it over without politeness and drank most of the can.

By the time she took the second sip, she had finished the entire can of beer.

With the slight stimulation of alcohol, Xu Youyu felt much better.

Li Luo handed over an egg tart at the right time. After seeing her take it and take a small bite, he continued to comfort him: "Like the editor said, your parents will find out about this kind of thing one day."

"Since Uncle Xu's attitude towards online writing is quite good now, even if he really knew about it, he probably wouldn't stop you from continuing to write novels."

"After all, you have always been at the top of your grade. The college entrance examination is not a big problem at all. There is no reason to stop you from writing novels."

Xu Youyu bit into the egg tart. Hearing what Li Luo said, he immediately frowned and said dissatisfied: "You know what I'm worried about is this."

"I understand." Li Luo nodded and said, "It's just that you drive too much in the book, and you make dirty jokes one after another. You are more experienced than the experienced driver. If your parents discover your true nature, you will definitely be ashamed.

.”

"Stop talking!" Xu Youyu screamed "Ah!", stuffed the egg tart into his mouth, covered his head and said vaguely, "I can't stand it just thinking about it! I'm really going to die!"

"But Uncle Xu doesn't know that "The Age of Literature" was written by you, so just pretend that this didn't happen."

"Isn't that just hiding one's ears and stealing the bell?" Xu Youyu swallowed the egg tart and said with a puff of his mouth.

"But we have to face it in the future." Li Luo spread his hands helplessly, "Writing online articles is to expose the so-called dirty, dark, and ugly desires in your heart, and then use various means to satisfy them.

it."

"Wanting absolute power, a high status, beautiful cars, beautiful women, and gold and silver treasures are all normal human desires."

"Sister, the happier you are when writing online articles, the more embarrassing it will be when you actually show it in front of acquaintances. This is also a fact that you have to face as an online article author."

"Sometimes you can escape it, but when you can't, it's better to learn to face it sooner."

Xu Youyu turned over, faced up, and glanced at Li Luo: "Is this how you feel after many social deaths?"

Li Luo twitched the corners of his lips: "That's right."

"In that case, I won't hide it from you." Xu Youyu nodded and shared with a smile, "Although my dad said he would read my books, the first one he reads now is on the Internet.

The article is actually your "I'm Really Not a Celebrity"."

"He has just read twenty or thirty chapters now, and he can already analyze it succinctly while eating."

"I guess after he finishes reading it, he might really use your book as the main argument and write a paper as the research result."

"Ah?" Li Luo was stunned after hearing what Xu Youyu said, "No...why didn't you say anything when you first entered the house?!"

Xu Youyu blinked: "You didn't even ask. I decided to tell you because I saw that you were in a good mood now."

"You might as well not tell me if you are riding a horse!" Li Luo jumped angrily, "I comforted you kindly, and this is how you repay me?"

"Haha~" Xu Youyu couldn't help laughing when she saw his angry look. Then she imitated Li Luo's tone just now and said seriously, "Sometimes you can escape, but sometimes you can't.

, it’s better to learn to face it sooner.”

"Get out!"

…

The two people made a fuss in the room and after venting their feelings to each other, they felt a lot calmer.

Now that things have come to this, there is nothing to look back on.

After accepting the reality, Li Luo and Xu Youyu gathered their spirits, sat down in rows in front of the desk, and began the task of coding tonight. The sound of snapping continued in the room.

However, just after Li Luo typed for a while, the QQ avatar at the bottom of his computer screen flashed.

Li Luo thought it was another message from Ying Chanxi. When he opened it, he found that it was from Yan Zhusheng.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Are you coding?

【Li Luo】: Code words.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Can I disturb you?

【Li Luo】:Okay.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Is the symposium fun?

[Li Luo]: Not bad, I had a quarrel with someone.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Ah? Did you win?

[Li Luo]: Then we must have won.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Then do you miss me?

Li Luo glanced at Xu Youyu next to him and silently turned the computer screen a little.

[Li Luo]: If you miss me, I will force myself to miss you.

[Yan Zhusheng]: I only want to chat with you when I miss you.

[Li Luo]: It seems that he doesn’t really want to, he only comes to see me every few days.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Can I chat with you every time I miss you?

[Li Luo]: If I'm free.

【Yan Zhusheng】: Oh.

[Li Luo]: Have you had a physical examination?

[Yan Zhusheng]: I did it.

[Yan Zhusheng]: The doctor said that except for the high blood pressure, everything else looked normal. He told me to maintain a regular schedule, eat well, and continue to exercise moderately.

【Yan Zhusheng】: If you are really worried, you can go to the hospital for regular check-ups.

【Li Luo】:That’s good.

【Yan Zhusheng】:Are you worried about me?

[Li Luo]: It’s obvious.

【Yan Zhusheng】:(happy.jpg)

[Yan Zhusheng]: The gloves you gave me are very warm and I like them very much.

[Li Luo]: Just like it. When will you come back?

[Yan Zhusheng]: Mom said that a friend will come to see her on the 9th. She made an appointment with her to return to China together on the 15th of this month.

[Li Luo]: How do you plan to spend New Year’s Eve after returning to China?

[Yan Zhusheng]: I don’t know, my mother didn’t say anything, so I probably just stayed at home and had a meal.

[Yan Zhusheng]: What about you?

[Li Luo]: I went back to the countryside with my parents to celebrate the New Year.

[Yan Zhusheng]: What about after New Year’s Eve? Will you be back soon?

[Li Luo]: It’s hard to say. It depends on my parents’ wishes. Sometimes I come back early, and sometimes I stay longer.

【Yan Zhusheng】:Okay.

[Li Luo]: If you want, you can come to the countryside to play.

[Li Luo]: Our place is said to be in the countryside. In fact, with the expansion of urban areas in recent years, it has already become an urban-rural fringe area. It only takes thirty or forty minutes to take a taxi.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Can I go?

[Li Luo]: Definitely.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Okay, I remember it.

"Your computer is so awkward, can you code?" Xu Youyu was stuck writing. He turned around and saw that Li Luo was acting strangely. He had to push the computer screen away a little, and he asked in confusion.

"Why do you care so much? Code your handwriting."

"Are you chatting with Xixi?" Xu Youyu glanced over, but Li Luo held the notebook and moved it away from her, "It's mysterious. Could it be that he said something shameful?"

"

"This is normal personal privacy, please respect it." Li Luo said seriously.

"Alas..." When Xu Youyu heard this, he immediately covered his face and sobbed, "After all, domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers. I don't know how to save this relationship. I just want to ask you, do you still love me?"

"

Li Luo: "...What kind of sad and bloody drama are you putting on here?"

"I'm stuck. It's so boring." Xu Youyu calmed down his expression, kicked his bare feet, leaned back on the chair and sighed, "I'm looking for some inspiration from you."

"Is this how you borrowed the inspiration?"

"Oh, you don't understand." Xu Youyu pointed at his code interface, "I just wrote about a movie. The protagonist is playing a cheating man who is struggling between his wife and true love. I am in the process of filming.

Find that feeling and what angle should you describe it from so that it feels right."

"Then what?"

"Then...then...fuck!"

Xu Youyu suddenly jumped up from his chair, then ignored Li Luo and rushed directly to the computer and started typing on the keyboard. It was obvious that inspiration suddenly came to him.

Li Luo looked at her possessed look and was speechless. Seeing that she didn't intend to continue talking, he lowered his head and looked at the notebook in his arms.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Do you have any new manuscripts in the past few days? I finished reading the last one and it was so short.

[Li Luo]: I have only saved 30,000 to 40,000 words in the past few days. Are you sure you want to read it now?

[Yan Zhusheng]: Well... let's wait a little longer. You can send me new ones during the Chinese New Year.

[Li Luo]: Last time it was because I took your computer to show others a movie. What about next time? Is there any other reason?

[Yan Zhusheng]: A New Year’s Eve gift for New Year’s Eve?

【Li Luo】:Okay...

[Yan Zhusheng]: Then go ahead and write, I won’t disturb you anymore.

【Li Luo】:Okay.

After chatting with Yan Zhusheng, Li Luo returned to coding mode.

Next to him, Xu Youyu was typing on the keyboard quickly, with inspiration flowing out like spring water.

This lasted for more than half an hour, and Xu Youyu slumped down on the back of the chair as if he had just finished a strenuous exercise. He breathed a long sigh of relief, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Li Luo, you are great."

Li Luo: "...What's so great about me?"

"Thank you for the inspiration you gave me." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "Didn't I just say that I lack an entry point to describe the protagonist's acting."

"But just now I suddenly thought of how to highlight the details of a cheating man."

"For example, the cheating man is obviously in the same room with his wife, and the two of them are having a short chat, but he is writing a letter at the table."

"This letter is written to his lover outside."

"And right next to him, there is a letter sent to him by his lover."

"There are many details in it, describing from the side the cheating man's guilty conscience, deliberate response, perfunctory attitude, and occasional guilt when faced with his wife's concern."

"It's so perfect, so perfect!" When Xu Youyu said this, he couldn't help but jump up from his chair, jumping around Li Luo with excitement on his face, venting his joy of having just written an excellent plot.

Xu Youyu writes about the film industry at the beginning of the century. At that time, it was more popular to shoot literary films and then go abroad to win awards.

There are similar scenes in many literary and artistic films.

But when Xu Youyu is copying a movie, she doesn't like to copy it completely. She always likes to make changes in some places that she thinks can be optimized, and then uses various methods to describe the exquisite acting skills of the protagonist after the changes.

This is used to highlight the authenticity and rationality of the subsequent protagonist's winning of the Best Actor Award.

Also because her changes are so wonderful every time, readers who read along the way often become her loyal fans. They are fascinated by it and can't help but marvel.

Anyway, it must be something that Li Luo couldn't write no matter how hard he thought about it.

but.

"Why do I always feel like you are criticizing me?" Li Luo narrowed his eyes and said angrily, "How can you still find inspiration from me for cheating men?"

"Oh, let's get some information." Xu Youyu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "It's right to sacrifice. Next time you have any needs, I can also help you act."

"...You are quite a nice person."
