Why didn't he say it? He just didn't want them to know!
What is the difference between being seen by an acquaintance in your immature novel and running naked in public?
He felt like his toes were about to snap out of the three bedrooms and one living room.
"Next time, I'll tell you next time." He smiled forcefully.
It seems that the pen name [Zhenyu] can no longer be used.
It's a pity that he hasn't finished writing his book yet...
But it’s okay, no one will read it anyway, so he can just continue writing in private without publishing it.
"Hu Tao, how did you know that I was writing a novel?"
Xingqiu really wanted to know how Hu Tao knew he was writing a novel. He couldn't remember where he was exposed.
"This is what Abedo told me."
Speaking of this, Hutao put his hands on his hips, "This hall master is your poetry friend and confidant, and you actually wrote a novel without telling me, your confidant! If it hadn't been for Albedo, I wouldn't have known about it!"
It’s time for Qiuma.
Why does Hutao know Abedo?
There are so many people in Mondstadt and Liyue, why do these two people know each other?
If I had known better, I would have warned Abedo not to tell others about him being a [Pillow Jade].
Also, when did they become confidants?
He sneered and could only give a far-fetched explanation, "It's just an immature work. I don't have the nerve to tell you."
"You're wrong!" Chongyun put his hands on his hips, feeling that Xingqiu didn't believe them.
He originally just thought that Xingqiu was embarrassed to tell them, but now it seems that he clearly didn't tell them on purpose.
"It's a good thing that you write novels. Do you think we will object and stop you?"
Xingqiu waved his hands awkwardly: "No, that's not what I meant."
Xingqiu always made fun of others, but the young master rarely felt so embarrassed.
Why is he afraid of their opposition?
He just couldn't pass that test and felt very ashamed.
This guy Chongyun always misses the point.
"Huh huh~" Hu Tao crossed his arms over his chest, seeing through it without saying anything.
She didn't tell him that she had already bought "The Record of Shen Qiu's Lost Swords". She just told him that she hadn't bought it just because she didn't want him to run away.
"Come on, let's find a teahouse and have a chat about writing a novel. I've already written the specific outline, and Abedo is responsible for the illustrations. Now it's time to start writing!"
Hutao patted Xingqiu's shoulder and carried him forward to prevent him from running away suddenly.
"Great writer, you have to guide me well! You can't hide your secrets!"
Jiang Bai's eyes fell on Hu Tao's hand on Xingqiu's shoulder, and the next moment, he jumped over from the other side, naturally pushed away Hu Tao's hand, and hugged Xingqiu's shoulder.
"Yes, this matter is very important to us, we can't be careless!"
Xingqiu was pushed forward, and the forced smile on his lips became stiffer.
He was ashamed and embarrassed now. He couldn't run away and had no choice but to accept his fate.
"What do you want to write? Why do you suddenly want to write a novel?" Chongyun took out his popsicle and asked curiously as he walked.
"Yeah? Why do you suddenly want to write a novel?" Xingqiu, who had been disturbed by shame for a long time, finally remembered to ask this matter.
"Well, this is related to a business of our Rebirth Hall. The client asked us to help him publish a book to write down the story of the snow-capped mountains buried deep in the heavy snow, so as to prevent them from being buried in the wind and snow of history."
In the tea house, Hu Tao, who opened a private room, slowly told the whole story.
"I see, you really need to write it carefully." Xingqiu nodded, holding his chin in thought.
If Hu Tao just wanted to write a novel on a whim, then he could just fool him.
But if the last wish of the great adventurer is related to past history, then it needs to be written carefully.
"For the sake of the circulation and readability of the novel, I have discussed with the client before, and I will use the third person to narrate his adventure in the snowy mountains in the form of a novel, and also use his name as the name of the protagonist of the novel."
"This is what I thought at the beginning. The protagonist [Katis] found an old notebook when he was packing things at home. It was left by his grandfather. His grandfather was a great adventurer. His grandfather hid something in the notebook.
In order to find a precious treasure, he came to the snow-capped mountains based on the clues in his notebook."
Listening to Hu Tao's narration, Xingqiu agreed, "Throwing [treasure] as an inducement at the beginning is indeed a good way to promote the development of the story, and 'treasure' can also attract readers very well."
"After arriving in the snowy mountains, he originally wanted to find treasures according to the instructions in his notebook, but he found many anomalies, strange ruins, ancient murals, stone tablets covered by heavy snow, and the beautiful and melancholy soul of a dead girl.
"The protagonist is the only one who can see this dead soul. Among them, he walks with the dead girl's soul. After experiencing countless hardships and dangers, he falls in love with this girl."
"But then, the girl disappeared. The protagonist kept looking for him and discovered the girl's true identity. It turned out that she was a princess from an ancient country thousands of years ago. She had been staying here, waiting for her lover and the snow.
The day it disappeared."
Although Hu Tao's narrative is very simple, the twists and turns are really fascinating.
Xingqiu had to admit that Hutao was very good at telling stories.
Even though he had read many novels, he was attracted by this story and eager to know the subsequent development.
When he heard her stop narrating, Chongyun asked: "What happened next?"
Jiang Bai knew the story of Neil from Snow Mountain Fen very clearly, but at this time he also wanted to know the ending of Hutao's story.
"Later, the protagonist climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the culprit who caused the heavy snow. He also saw the long-dead body of the princess who had been frozen in ice for many years.
"For some reason, he recovered the memory of his previous life, but he was still powerless to do anything about the culprit that caused the heavy snow. Deep in despair, he could only dig out the princess's body from the ice, hug his lover, and die in the cold
.
"The princess finally waited for the hero to come back, but never saw the flowers bloom again."
"Can't we set up a happy ending?" Chongyun sounded a little uncomfortable.
"You don't understand, only tragedies are impressive." Xingqiu is quite experienced in this.
Hutao took a sip of tea to moisten her thirsty throat from talking too much, and agreed with Xingqiu's words.
"That's right! Snow Mountain is originally a sad story. There is no need to deliberately write a happy ending. Only the unsatisfactory ending can make people feel unforgettable and make this book spread wider!"
Xingqiu slapped his hands, his eyes brightening astonishingly, "I will join this book!"
Although the type of this book is completely different from his book "The Record of Shen Qiu's Picking Up Swords", how could he miss such a wonderful story!
On how I react when an acquaintance accidentally learns that I write a novel and asks me for the title:
1. If he wants a genuine subscription and rewards me.
"Well, in XXX, it's called XXX, it's of a certain type. If you want to see it, remember to give me a tip!"
(Although it is also shameful, but what is shame in front of money?)
2. He watches pirated copies
"What novel? Is there such a thing? Why didn't I know about it?"
