The taxi arrived at the JI Hotel near Jinjiang Hotel.
Li Luo sent the three of them to the hotel to register and brought their luggage to the room.
Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong lived in a double room, while Ying Chanxi lived in a room by herself.
Li Luo walked into Ying Chanxi's room. Seeing how she was about to walk out as soon as she put her suitcase down, she immediately grabbed her and said, "Why are you walking so fast?"
"Let's go to your place for a walk." Ying Chanxi said, "It's half past seven now. Let's go to your place for a walk, and then we can set off to play."
"Okay, okay." Li Luo followed Ying Chanxi out of the room. After calling the two people next door, the four of them set off towards the Jinjiang Hotel.
The two hotels were separated by a street, and Li Luo led them for a few minutes before entering the hotel lobby.
Standing in front of the poster announcing the sign of the Writers Salon in the lobby, Li Luo stopped here and introduced the three of them: "Look, this is it. It has my signature on it."
Lin Xiuhong and the other three stopped and looked around curiously.
Ying Chanxi looked at it, and there was nothing wrong with him at first. But when he was about to look away, his expression suddenly became condensed, and he asked doubtfully: "You will grow taller if you go to bed early. I remember you know him, right?"
Seeing Ying Chanxi suddenly mention Xu Youyu's pen name, Li Luo's brows suddenly jumped and he had a bad feeling.
As expected, Ying Chanxi added: "I remember he also rewarded you with the Silver Alliance, which cost 10,000 yuan."
"Oh, so many?" Lin Xiuhong was surprised, "What's the relationship between you two? Is someone giving you a reward of 10,000 yuan?"
"We released new books at the same time, and we both wrote about the same genre, so we got to know each other relatively early." Li Luo coughed twice and tried his best to explain, "Later, my grades were better, so I recommended them to readers in my own books.
Read his book."
"Because many readers have read his books, his grades have also improved."
"So in order to thank me, I gave you a silver reward."
"Then this guy has a pretty good personality." Li Guohong nodded and said with satisfaction, "He's very good at getting things done."
"Um...yeah." Li Luo forced a smile, and then took them into the elevator and stopped on the fourth floor.
After taking them to Conference Hall No. 1 for a look, Li Luo shared about the meeting he attended yesterday afternoon.
In order to delay time, he mobilized the memory palace and picked some content to introduce during the press conference. He even mentioned that he also planned to try this kind of reality-themed creation.
For example, what I talked about with Xu Youyu yesterday was discussed with the three of Ying Chanxi.
"So if this is well written, can it be made into a TV series?" Ying Chanxi asked curiously.
"Of course." Li Luo nodded, then laughed and said, "But someone has to buy the copyright, so the quality still has to pass."
"You can ask my dad to buy it." Ying Chanxi said matter-of-factly, "Isn't this what their company does? Anyway, when I watch their company's TV series, they are not very good, and I don't think they are as good as the books you wrote."
"Ahem...it's better not to say this nonsense." Li Luo looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock in the morning.
So without further delay, he took them upstairs in the elevator.
On the way, I occasionally met a few familiar authors, and when I saw Li Luo, I took the initiative to say hello.
Ying Chanxi looked at these people curiously, and nodded when he saw some older-looking female authors among them.
To be honest, under normal circumstances, those who are qualified to participate in a writer's salon of this nature are basically in their twenties and thirties.
People under the age of twenty are very rare, let alone underage children like Li Luo and Xu Youyu.
Therefore, as long as Ying Chanxi is interested, he will naturally easily find that the female authors who come to participate in the event are much older than Li Luo.
And she is definitely not as beautiful as her.
After settling down, Ying Chanxi was no longer so eager to go to Li Luo's room.
After following Li Luo all the way to the eighth floor, Li Luo took out his room card and opened his door.
At this time, the room was very clean and tidy. All the bed sheets and quilt covers had been changed by the cleaners, and the room had also been cleaned.
Seeing this scene, Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
Ying Chanxi walked into the room and took a casual look without saying anything else.
"It's expensive for a reason." Lin Xiuhong looked around, then nodded and said, "It looks quite beautiful, and the desk is also big. If it were our hotel, Li Luo's computer wouldn't even be able to fit in it."
"When did you buy this notebook?" Li Guohong glanced at the notebook on Li Luo's desk and asked curiously.
"Uh...this one belongs to Xixi."
"You kid..." Li Guohong was speechless. "How much money have you made? Why do you still use someone else's computer? Are you embarrassed?"
"No, it's okay, Uncle Li." Ying Chanxi heard this and said quickly, "I don't usually need this. It's just right for him, so it won't be left in the house and eat dust."
"Xixi, you are just too spoiled to him." Lin Xiuhong laughed and shook her head, "The computer in his room is also yours, the notebook is also yours, and you bought the clothes and pants, right? I think he will be spoiled by you.
"
"Hey, hey." Li Luo interjected dissatisfiedly, "Mom, you're talking like she's raising a pet. I bought her something too, okay?"
Ying Chanxi's face turned red with embarrassment, and he quickly said: "We have also visited here, why don't we go out and play?"
"Let's go."
The four people made simple preparations and set off from Jinjiang Hotel.
Lin Xiuhong and Ying Chanxi made travel plans early, took a taxi and headed towards their destination.
Li Luo and Li Guohong acted as companions and followed behind the two ladies.
When visiting scenic spots, it is a camera, and when visiting merchandise stores, it is a shopping bag.
But when neither of them was used, Li Luo walked behind and whispered to Li Guohong: "Dad, it's a rare trip. Do you want to be romantic?"
"What do you mean?" Li Guohong glanced at him, not understanding what this guy was going to say.
"I have an idea..." Li Luo leaned into Li Guohong's ear and whispered while Lin Xiuhong and Ying Chanxi were walking ahead.
…
Near noon, Li Luo took a taxi back to the hotel alone.
I sent a message to Xu Youyu, but no reply.
So Li Luo took the elevator back to the eighth floor of the hotel, went to the door of Xu Youyu's room and knocked on the door.
After a while, Xu Youyu, who was rubbing his eyes and feeling sleepy, opened the door, glanced outside the door, and after confirming that it was Li Luo, turned around and walked into the house, letting him come in by himself.
Li Luo walked into the room and closed the door. He watched her throw herself on the bed again and was speechless: "You didn't sleep all morning again, did you?"
"You still have the nerve to say that?" Xu Youyu lay on the bed and yawned, "I almost fell asleep after you left, but then you sent a message again, saying that Xixi was coming to visit, and I woke up immediately, okay?
.”
"I didn't know they had to come over and take a look." Li Luo said helplessly, "Fortunately, the cleaning lady here is very efficient."
"That's not what I prompted." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, and then said, "If I had known this, you might as well have slept with me yesterday. You didn't know how to be more conscious and run towards me."
"Isn't the best way for two people to sleep in separate rooms?" Li Luo's mouth twitched, "Are you sleeping well now? Come downstairs for dinner, and the editor will come too."
"I know~" Xu Youyu climbed out of bed and sighed, "Did you have fun with Xixi this morning?"
"Good."
“I haven’t even visited the scenic spots in Changning City.”
"you mean?"
"If you have a chance in the future, come and go shopping with me." Xu Youyu smiled, took his arm and said, "Forget it this time, just have fun. I was already very happy yesterday."
"Okay." Li Luo pursed his lips and nodded in agreement, "Then let's go eat first."
"Um."
The two people took the elevator to the restaurant on the second floor.
At this time, Qianzhou was already waiting at the elevator entrance. When he saw the two people coming out, he smiled and waved: "I'm here to eat."
"Let's go." Li Luo smiled and put his hand on the editor's shoulder, leading him to the restaurant. "You can order whatever you want to eat this time. I'll treat you."
"Then I'm not welcome."
Just as he was saying this, Qianzhou suddenly received a call.
As soon as the call was connected, Qianzhou said a few words, then frowned slightly, and after hanging up the phone, he said helplessly: "Something happened in the company, so I have to go back."
"Ah?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it Saturday? Is there anything else going on in the company?"
"Then what can be done?" Qianzhou sighed, waved his hand and said, "I don't have the chance to eat your meal today. Maybe next time, I will run away first."
Watching Qianzhou leave, Li Luo thought for a while and asked: "What about tonight? I have to eat dinner with others, but I can still have a midnight snack."
"Supper?" Qianzhou pressed the elevator button and thought for a moment, "That should be okay, just for today?"
"Let's do it today, she will come with us then." Li Luo pointed to Xu Youyu next to him, "It's rare for the three of us to meet, so we have to rub it in."
The office building of Wenyue Group is not far from here, only about ten minutes' walk away.
Qianzhou gestured OK to the two of them, then hurriedly walked into the elevator and went downstairs to leave.
Li Luo accompanied Xu Youyu into the restaurant. The two found a seat and sat down. After ordering, Li Luo looked at the scenery outside the window and vaguely saw the back of Qian Zhou running on the road, and couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Youyu asked strangely, holding his chin.
"It just suddenly occurred to me." Li Luo smiled helplessly, "If I hadn't written a book, I would probably be like the editor and become a social screw after graduation, working hard to make money to support myself, but in fact I didn't make any money.
Some people get more than a penny."
Xu Youyu took a sip of his drink, glanced at Li Luo, and couldn't help but smile: "You have a lot of ideas. You haven't even gone to college yet. Have you already imagined the scene of your future graduation?"
When Xu Youyu said this, Li Luo somewhat reacted.
To be honest, if a child of Li Luo's age had not grown up in poverty, he would rarely think about his future life at this time.
In Li Luo's memory, when he was 16 years old in his previous life, he was still a guy who slept in class, played basketball with friends after school, or went to Internet cafes to hack.
Where do you think about what your future will be like?
In Xu Youyu's view, this was already a bit different.
But now Li Luo doesn't have to worry about this. He just suddenly saw Qianzhou being called back by a phone call and had to give up eating with him. He felt a little emotional for no reason.
Once you are burdened with the burden of life, you will often be unable to control yourself.
Even with Li Luo's current net worth and income, he still has to be honest, right?
It just so happens that he quite likes writing novels, and being able to enjoy the fun of creating plots makes this profession very easy for him.
After having lunch with Xu Youyu, Li Luo followed her to the fourth floor. The No. 1 conference hall yesterday afternoon has now been decorated as a writer's salon event venue.
Compared to yesterday's relatively formal occasion, today's salon was much more relaxed.
By about one o'clock in the afternoon, all the confirmers had arrived. About a hundred invited authors gathered together. The president of Wenyue Group also made an appearance. After a few brief words, he invited the well-known masters in the industry.
The authors took the stage to speak and share some of their own experiences and stories.
During this period, the person in charge of the literature review also mentioned several times the call for essays on realistic themes that was just announced yesterday, and recommended it to the authors present.
I have to say that Wenyue Group seems to take this essay solicitation quite seriously.
However, Li Luo was still more interested in some of the little gossip shared by the authors privately.
After the sharing session is over, it will be time for free conversation.
Everyone walked around the venue casually to get to know each other and chat with each other. Afternoon tea was also provided nearby, and the whole atmosphere was very relaxed.
Li Luo originally thought about leaving early, but he didn't expect that there were quite a few people coming to chat with him.
There are even people looking at Xu Youyu's works, which makes the little girl a little surprised and happy.
At first, Li Luo thought he wanted to talk to him, but several big writers came over to urge him to update... Li Luo also fought back without hesitation, thinking that each of you could delay the update better than the other.
How dare you come to rush him.
…
While Li Luo and Xu Youyu were attending the Writers Salon, Ying Chanxi also followed Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong to the streets outside Yuyuan Garden in Changning City.
When passing by a hairpin experience center, Li Guohong took a second look at the store's door, and the employee inside greeted him with a smile: "Do you want to experience hairpin and Hanfu?"
"Let's take a look?" Li Guohong suggested.
Hairpins are a kind of women's headwear. Hairpins of various shapes are displayed at the entrance of this store. Ying Chanxi and Lin Xiuhong just looked at them twice and felt a little unable to walk.
So at Li Guohong's suggestion, the three of them walked into the store and tried it briefly.
Lin Xiuhong is relatively old. The waiter chose a hairpin decorated with pearls for her. She chose lavender plum blossoms, which made her look more dignified.
For clothes, she chose an off-white long-sleeved shirt, paired with a light blue horse-faced skirt. She looked clean and fresh, and made her look several years younger.
Ying Chanxi chose a hairpin made of pink peach blossoms, surrounded by some bright yellow and light red buds, which looked youthful and cute.
On her clothes, she wore a chest-length skirt with pink and blue colors that complemented and embellished each other. With the hairpin on her head, she looked even more lively and lovely.
As for Li Guohong, he changed into a dark green round-neck robe and looked in the mirror. He looked quite dignified as an official.
Originally, Lin Xiuhong and Ying Chanxi just thought they were trying it out, but Li Guohong just waved his hand and wrapped up all these sets of clothes.
"The sun is rising in the west?" Lin Xiuhong glanced at him in surprise, but her face was quite happy.
After all, since the two got married, Li Guohong rarely took the initiative to buy her new clothes, let alone such recreational Hanfu and hairpins.
"When traveling, happiness is the most important thing." Li Guohong coughed twice, then took them to buy tickets and walked into Yu Garden.
I have to say that wearing modern clothes and changing into Hanfu to visit this ancient courtyard is really different.
Walking along the corridors and paths of Yu Garden, from time to time someone would want to take pictures of them, and they mistakenly thought they were staff members who came from somewhere to play the role of ancient people.
Ying Chanxi and Lin Xiuhong were particularly happy. They walked and walked, and when they saw a good scenery from time to time, they would stop and take some nice photos.
The Yu Garden tour could have been completed in three or two hours, but the three of them spent an entire afternoon wandering around before leaving from the exit with unfinished content.
"What a pity." Ying Chanxi looked at the photos in the camera and sighed slightly.
"What's the pity?" Lin Xiuhong asked in confusion.
"It's a pity that Li Luo didn't come." Ying Chanxi whispered, "If he wore clothes similar to Uncle Li's, it would definitely look good if we took pictures together."
"Indeed." Lin Xiuhong nodded, then smiled, "But we have bought all the clothes, and we are free tomorrow."
"That's right." Ying Chanxi smiled happily, looking forward to it.
Especially when she is wearing this outfit now, I don't know what kind of expression Li Luo will show when he sees her at night.
"There is also a sightseeing ship you can take in the evening." Li Guohong looked at the time and then said, "It's exactly seven o'clock in the evening after taking the ship. You can have dinner with Zhicheng."
"Okay, let's go." Lin Xiuhong held the hairpin on her head, very satisfied with today's itinerary.
Although his son had something to do and didn't come to accompany him, he was accompanied by Ying Chanxi, who was more like a daughter than a daughter.
In particular, Ying Chanxi is very good at taking photos, which is much more useful than Li Luo.
With this in mind, a group of three people arrived at the Huangpu River, and in the last few minutes, they were able to board the sightseeing ship that departed in the evening.
As the ship's engine buzzed, Ying Chanxi, Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong sat on the open-air seats on the first floor deck, admiring the river views on both sides.
Li Guohong looked at the high-rise buildings on both sides and couldn't help but sigh: "This is indeed much more prosperous than our Yinjiang River. It can only be compared with the two sides of the Qianjiang River in Yuhang City."
"What's the use of feeling so much." Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes at him, then pulled Ying Chanxi and posed several poses on the railing beside the boat, and asked Li Guohong to take pictures of them.
Li Guohong, on the other hand, acted as a photographer while looking left and right, with a look of confusion on his face.
As the sightseeing ship sailed slowly on the river, the sky in Changning City gradually darkened.
A red sun gradually sets on the horizon, and the deep red sunset spreads on the river, like golden-red dragon scales, reflecting the winding Huangpu River like a long dragon.
Ying Chanxi stood on the edge of the railing with his hat on his head, looking at the white foam at the stern of the boat that was reflected in the golden sun, like broken gold pouring out.
She looked at such beautiful scenery with a little regret, but it was a pity that she didn't have the person she wanted by her side.
But the next second, a familiar voice came into her ears.
"Can you take a photo with this beautiful lady for me?"
As he said that, Ying Chanxi felt his shoulders being hugged.
The next moment, she turned her head sharply. When she saw Li Luo's playful side face, the surprise in her eyes suddenly overflowed uncontrollably: "You, when did you come?"
"Huh?" Li Luo tilted his head and looked confused, "Can you take a photo with me first? Or do you want to say you don't want to?"
"Yes, of course I do!" Ying Chanxi nodded repeatedly, immediately leaned into Li Luo's arms, and raised his cute scissor hands.
Li Luo also put his arm around her shoulders and made a big sign in the direction of Li Guohong.
Li Guohong smiled and took photos of the two people. Lin Xiuhong next to him saw his unsurprised expression, and then looked at the black ancient-style outfit Li Luo was wearing at this time. She suddenly asked suspiciously: "Have you discussed this with him earlier?
ah?"
"What a surprise." Li Guohong chuckled, "Isn't this Xixi very happy?"
"You two are so serious." Lin Xiuhong smiled helplessly, but seeing the smile on Ying Chanxi's face, she felt it was worth it.
"Where did your clothes come from?" Ying Chanxi touched his fabric and saw that there was a sword on his waist. He immediately pulled it out curiously and asked, "Is this a real sword?"
"Fake, fake, not sharpened." Li Luo put the sword back, coughed twice and said, "The main thing is to match the shape, it has no other effect."
"Hmph, are you secretly changing into these clothes and following us? You haven't told me yet." Ying Chanxi punched him lightly in the chest.
"Can it still be a surprise if I tell you? Just tell me, did you feel a pounding heart just now?"
"No," Ying Chanxi said harshly, but her heartbeat showed no sign of slowing down until now, and even the blush on her face never dissipated.
"Heh." Li Luo touched her head and looked closely at the hairpin, "Well, this outfit suits you very well. It's very beautiful."
"Am I beautiful in the morning, or am I beautiful in this outfit now?"
"She was the most beautiful when I saw her in the morning, but as time goes by, she becomes more beautiful every second, so she should be more beautiful now." Li Luo pinched her cheek, then stretched out his hand, "This
Let me give it to my parents first. My seat is on the second floor deck. Can this young lady please come with me to enjoy the breeze?"
Ying Chanxi glanced at Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong, and saw that they were also admiring the scenery at the railing, and didn't pay attention to them.
So he pulled back the hair beside his ears, stretched out his little hand slightly shyly, and gently placed it on Li Luo's palm: "Then... I'll reluctantly accompany you for a while."
Li Luo smiled, then took Ying Chanxi's soft jade hand and led her to the second floor deck, facing the direction of the observation ship, and stood at a position that Xu Youyu would probably be familiar with.
"Li Luo..."
"Um?"
"I'm so happy today." Ying Chanxi held Li Luo's hand tightly, facing the sunset, and pursed her lips, "I'm very, very happy!"
Chapter completed!
