On the way to the barbecue restaurant, Qianzhou felt that the atmosphere around him was very solemn.
On the left is Li Luo, who sighs from time to time.
This guy's "I'm Really Not a Star" earned a total of 370,000 yuan in royalties last month, and he is only 16 years old.
On the right is Xu Youyu, who has an expressionless face and turns to look at the street scene on the right.
Her "Literary Age" is very much about the literary youth of the literary and artistic circle at the beginning of the century. She is one of the few treasured authors under Qianzhou who has achieved the level of fine works.
Moreover, this girl was only less than 17 years old, and she looked extremely beautiful, no worse than the girl named Yan Zhusheng that Qianzhou met at Li Luo's side.
Every time he thinks of this, Qianzhou feels in a trance, feeling that this world is really magical.
The most important thing is that these two people seem to know each other, and judging from their posture, they are probably still acquaintances.
Otherwise, everyone wouldn’t have had such a big reaction after taking off the vest.
"So what is the relationship between you two?" Qianzhou asked curiously, "Is it possible that you are relatives? Or classmates?"
"Obviously she's a classmate from the same school." Li Luo chuckled, "Didn't you hear me call her senior?"
"Shut up!" Xu Youyu said through gritted teeth, "If you say one more word, I will kill you!"
"Qianzhou is an editor, not an outsider. He knows what he knows." Li Luo said helplessly.
"It's not my fault that the editor didn't explain it clearly!" Xu Youyu couldn't help but feel annoyed when he thought of this, "How could I have thought so much? If I had known you would come, I would never have come!"
"You didn't even ask." Qianzhou said with a look of shame on his face, "Besides, I wonder if you two are quite familiar with each other online? You've already visited each other's comment section, so your relationship should be pretty good. We might have communicated in private.
Got it."
"How could I tell others about participating in a symposium offline?" Xu Youyu said angrily, "It's all the editor's fault anyway."
"Indeed." Li Luo nodded in agreement, pointing his finger at the editor.
"Okay, okay." Qianzhou was too lazy to argue with these two kids, "Okay, my problem is that I didn't make it clear. I'll pay for the barbecue tonight."
"That's not necessary." Xu Youyu muttered and whispered, "You said I was treating you."
"Why are you being polite to her?" Li Luo joked, "Although she is young, she has written about a male and female protagonist at home...well..."
"Shut up!"
As soon as Xu Youyu heard Li Luo's words, he knew what the thief was going to say. He immediately crossed Qianzhou and covered Li Luo's mouth firmly from behind.
This posture is somewhat ambiguous.
Li Luo felt like his back was being pressed hard, and he couldn't tell whether it was punishment or reward.
When Qianzhou saw this, he coughed twice and reminded, "I've been reading both of your books, so you don't have to react so much if you go to bed early."
"Girls tend to mature earlier. I can understand that. You don't have to be so shy."
"We are all engaged in online writing, no one should laugh at anyone else. Look at Li Luo, there are three female protagonists written in the book, and each of them... um..."
When he said this, Qianzhou paused for a moment. He didn't know what he was thinking of. He looked at Li Luo and then at Xu Youyu. When he thought of Li Luo's title of middle school sister, he looked a little weird for a moment.
At this time, Xu Youyu had let go of Li Luo and returned to Qianzhou to draw a clear line with Li Luo.
Qianzhou asked in a low voice: "Li Luo, the heroine in your book, the one named Jiang Mingyue..."
"Haha." Xu Youyu snorted coldly, crossed his arms and said, "You can tell at a glance that it is based on what I wrote. She is a senior, has big breasts, is greedy, likes to sleep in, and..."
Listening to what Qianzhou and Xu Youyu said, Li Luo's face suddenly darkened, but then he listened to Xu Youyu mentioning the characteristics of the heroine like a treasure trove, and suddenly said coldly, "You are very aware of your own shortcomings."
"Besides, didn't you also write it in the book?"
"The male protagonist is one year younger than the female protagonist. He is also good at cooking, playing the guitar, and can occasionally write songs, and..."
"You!" Xu Youyu glared angrily, his face flushed, and he was about to pounce on Li Luo again to tell him to shut up.
But Li Luo had already anticipated this, and dodged sideways, circling Qianzhou to avoid the attack, and directly staged the King of Qin's circle around the pillar, but Xu Youyu didn't catch him.
Qianzhou looked at the two young authors with a speechless expression, and was forced to believe that he was raising a baby.
Those who knew this noisy man clearly knew that he was working as an editor, but those who didn't know it thought he was out shopping with his children.
"Okay, okay, let's go to the barbecue restaurant." Qianzhou stopped and pointed to the barbecue restaurant on the roadside, "Do you want to eat?"
Xu Youyu stopped, snorted heavily, and walked into the barbecue restaurant with angry steps.
Li Luo followed Qianzhou into the store and found a table to sit down.
Qianzhou and Li Luo sat side by side, while Xu Youyu sat opposite Li Luo.
After taking the menu, Xu Youyu quickly ordered the barbecue, and finally waved his hand and said to the waiter: "A box of beer."
"Ah?" The only adult present was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but whispered, "It's not good to drink, isn't it?"
"What's wrong?" Xu Youyu glanced at Qianzhou in surprise, "Editor, you can't do it, right?"
"What does it have to do with me?" Qianzhou's face darkened, "You two are underage, okay! Why are you drinking outside!"
"Oh, you are not my parents, you are so lenient." Xu Youyu waved his hand, "Li Luo and I drank at home, it's okay."
"At home?" Qianzhou was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant. "What do you mean at home?"
"Ahem... we lived together when we were in school." Li Luo explained in a low voice, "My house is relatively large and there are two rooms for rent. She just rented one. She is my tenant and I am hers.
landlord."
Qianzhou: "...How complicated is the relationship between you two?"
Originally, Qianzhou thought that the relationship between the two of them was just classmates, and at most they were familiar with each other in school.
As a result, you two still live under the same roof after co-writing, right?
Both sides secretly write novels without telling each other, and neither of them knows the situation.
How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
What's even more outrageous is that these two guys are actually the authors under him.
The shocked Qianzhou looked at Xu Youyu, then at Li Luo, and couldn't help but whisper in Li Luo's ear: "You two haven't really been in love before, have you? What's your relationship with Yuan Wanqing's daughter?" "
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Li Luo was speechless when he heard the question he asked, "They and I are all friends, it's not as complicated as you think."
"What are they?" Xu Youyu asked with a suspicious look on the opposite side, "What are you two secretly talking about?"
"Nothing." Qianzhou shook his head, "I was just talking about the heroine in his book."
"Oh, this." When Xu Youyu talked about this, he suddenly laughed and said, "I am not the only one in his book. Mo Qinghan is the bamboo sheng, and Shen Dongdong is Xixi, right? He really knows how to draw materials."
When Xu Youyu said this, Li Luo suddenly had black lines in his head: "The novel is purely fictional, please do not connect it with reality, you are just thinking too much."
"Humph." Xu Youyu didn't believe his nonsense, "You have been lusting after the three of us in the book all day long. I don't even bother to talk about you. How dare you say that when you coded and wrote that kind of content, you never thought about it. How many of us are there?"
Xu Youyu is indeed the same Xu Youyu, and he doesn't mince words at all.
When she asked this question, Li Luo choked up and hesitated for a moment, saying that the material was not reality, and the novels were all fiction. He entered the flow of writing, how could he think so much... everything was said out loud, and in the end there was nothing. Tell me why.
The three of them were chatting like this, and soon the barbecue was brought to the table, and a box of beer was also placed.
Watching Xu Youyu pry open the beer cap very skillfully, Qianzhou fell into deep thought for a moment, wondering how much alcohol this girl had drank.
This action of opening the lid is more skillful than him.
But at this time, Li Luo and Xu Youyu talked about the incident of the vest meeting, and the final responsible party still fell on Qianzhou.
"Sure enough, it's all the editor's fault. His authors will come to the symposium, and I don't know who else will come."
"Indeed, the results of the essay competition have come out, and they haven't said who the other winners are."
The two people sang together and put all the blame on Qianzhou.
But soon, Qianzhou realized something was wrong.
When he figured out a logic bug here, he couldn't help but said: "That's wrong."
"Logically speaking, neither of you knows that the other is writing a novel."
"Then even if I told you that I would come to the symposium again or go to bed early, you two still don't know who the other person is."
"Don't we still have to meet each other to know who the real person is under the vest?"
"So what does this matter have to do with me? It's obviously inevitable!"
When Qianzhou said this, Li Luo and Xu Youyu looked at each other and were stunned.
After thinking about it, it seems that this is really the case.
But Xu Youyu sneered and shook his head: "You don't know that. In fact, I already knew that Zhan Ran was him. I was just pretending not to know."
"What the hell?!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Luo was so frightened that he jumped up from his seat, pointing at Xu Youyu with trembling fingers, with a look of disbelief on his face, "You, you... when did you know?"
Seeing Li Luo's expression of disbelief, Xu Youyu finally felt a little happy. He laughed proudly and showed off to him: "I knew it a long time ago."
"I've known it since you first moved in."
"I still remember the first time you cooked, I was waiting in the living room with Xixi and Zhao Rongjun."
"While we were chatting, I asked them if they had added QQ, and asked for your QQ number, thinking that I could add it as well."
"Guess what?"
"Your QQ account is actually the same as the rekindled QQ account the editor gave me!"
"What do you think it's a coincidence?"
"Actually, I guessed that it was you who rekindled it at that time."
After hearing this, Li Luo felt a little bad.
He has been hiding it for so long. In fact, Xu Youyu already knew everything?
Thinking of this, Li Luo wanted to say that he had already known that Xu Youyu would grow taller if he went to bed early.
But then he thought about it, after all, he only learned this information after rebirth, which was a bit awkward. After thinking about it, he chose not to show it off.
So Li Luo could only accept Xu Youyu's face-to-face ridicule with a dark face.
Only Qianzhou on the side was speechless: "Hezhu, you already knew it, and you deliberately pretended not to know."
"What do you mean by deliberately pretending?" Xu Youyu's eyes widened, "If I exposed him, wouldn't it directly expose my own identity? I'm not that stupid!"
"Well, we all know it now anyway." Qianzhou said helplessly, "As for the online articles, everyone understands what is written. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you talk about it. You two should also read it openly."
"What you said is quite easy." Li Luo chuckled.
"That's right." Xu Youyu echoed, having a drink with Qianzhou, "Editor, drink! If I don't get you drunk today, my surname will not be Xu!"
"Damn! We have a meeting tomorrow, let's drink less."
Chapter completed!
