Chapter 109: Entering the Boys' Territory
About twenty minutes after Xu Youyu called Yan Zhusheng, the doorbell rang.

Xu Youyu, who had nothing to do in the kitchen, took off his apron, ran to the door and opened it for Yan Zhusheng.

The two girls gathered together on the sofa in the living room and talked about something.

The chat was interrupted only when Li Luo called them in to serve the dishes.

"Have you finished your homework?"

While eating, Yan Zhusheng raised his head, looked at Li Luo opposite him, and asked.

"It's finished."

There are exams from Wednesday to Friday.

Li Luo had the Memory Palace in hand, so there was nothing to review.

Basically, teachers will assign weekend homework in advance after the exam.

So during the self-study classes outside of the exam time, Li Luo had already finished all his homework.

Although Yan Zhusheng didn't finish writing it at the beginning, he finished it all in the two days after returning home.

So she said, "The president asked me to ask you, if you have finished your homework, can we practice together during the evening study session?"

"Rock Club?" Xu Youyu asked curiously.

Yan Zhusheng nodded and looked at Li Luo with some anticipation in his eyes.

"Sure." Li Luo nodded in agreement, "But can you go to the evening self-study class? This is not within the club's activity time, right?"

"The president has gone to the teacher to apply." Yan Zhusheng said, "After all, they will be performing at the parents' meeting and the sports meeting, so it's normal to give them more time for training and running-in."

"That's true." Xu Youyu nodded, then frowned and realized, "Yes, only the parents of the high school students can see the rock club performance. What a pity."

"Can't parents of high school students watch it?" Li Luo looked confused.

"No." Xu Youyu shook his head and said, "The parents of the second and third year students had already visited during the first year. The next two years were just simple parent-teacher conferences, and they left immediately after the meeting."

“The planning of campus visits and club visits is usually specifically for parents of high school seniors.”

"Otherwise, it would be difficult to arrange if there were too many people. The main purpose is to show the style of the school to the parents of the senior students."

"But..." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes, "I can let my mom sneak in, so she can enjoy your performance."

"Is your mother coming to the parent-teacher meeting? Where's your father?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"My dad is quite busy." Xu Youyu waved his hand. "He has to teach classes and supervise students during the week, and he has various meetings on weekends. My mom is quite free."

"Oh, right." At this point, Xu Youyu remembered something and said to Li Luo, "My mom said that after the parents' meeting, she wants to invite you and Xixi's parents to have a meal together."

"After all, we live together, and my mom wants to get to know and be closer to all the uncles and aunts so that they can take care of each other if anything happens."

"Well..." Li Luo touched his chin, "Xixi's father is busy on Saturday and can't come to the parents' meeting. I guess only my parents can come then."

"Eh?" Xu Youyu was a little disappointed, then looked at Yan Zhusheng, "What about Zhusheng? How about you and your family come together?"

Yan Zhusheng also shook his head: "Probably not, my mother may not be available."

"We'll see when the time comes. There's no rush." ​​Li Luo said, "If it doesn't work out, it's okay for us to just have a meal together."

After dinner, there is still plenty of time before the school’s evening study.

So Li Luo went back to the bedroom and continued typing.

Xu Youyu and Yan Zhusheng went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

After washing, Xu Youyu returned to the bedroom, turned on the computer and took a look. She was surprised to find that someone had rewarded her for being the leader.

Looking closely, the ID was rekindled.

Well...it turns out to be this guy Li Luo.

Xu Youyu raised the corner of his mouth, thinking that this boy was quite polite and knew how to reciprocate.

However, when she opened the comment section as usual, she saw Li Luo, under the alias of Rekindled, leaving a long message in her comment section.

[Rekindle]: This book, "The Age of Literature and Art", is my favorite entertainment work this year, no doubt about it.

Afterwards, Li Luo elaborated in detail why he thought the book was well-written, starting from the content of the work, writing style, plot tone, rhythm, and some very small points.

Xu Youyu's eyes sparkled with surprise, and he couldn't stop feeling excited when Li Luo praised him. This kind of praise that was well-founded and reasonable made him feel much more comfortable than simply praising him.

There is a sense of pleasure as if I had a spiritual spa.

One of the paragraphs about acting made Xu Youyu feel the same way. He also felt relieved and moved as if he had met a close friend and was deeply understood by Li Luo.

[Rekindle]: I write about entertainment myself, but if I want to describe a character’s good acting skills, there are usually only two ways.

[Rekindle]: First, it is a side description, through describing the emotions of the bystanders, from the initial disdain to the later admiration, it indirectly highlights the exquisite acting skills of the character.

[Rekindle]: The other type is a side description of the character itself. It also does not write about the acting itself, but focuses on describing what efforts the character has made for the play, such as an actress cutting her long hair, a fat actor losing dozens of pounds in a month, and so on.

[Rekindle]: This book "Literary Age" is different. While it is adept at using the two techniques mentioned above, it also dares to positively describe something as mysterious as acting.

[Rekindle]: It’s like solving a problem. Use a film-stripping technique to list out the performance requirements of the film, and then directly describe the details of the actors’ body language. In an instant, that feeling is sketched out.

[Rekindle]: This kind of positive treatment method of using words to restore "acting skills" is something that 99% of entertainment writers cannot do.

Just on this point, Li Luo wrote a long article of several hundred words. If you count the entire long review, it would probably be several thousand words.

Xu Youyu bit his lips subconsciously.

People who don’t write books may not understand this.

Many times, even a simple comment from a reader like "very good" can make the author happy for a long time.

And a long review like this one, with its well-reasoned and point-by-point praise, will make the author feel as if he has met a close friend.

I felt like my whole heart was trembling and my body was numb.

"This guy is quite good at praising." Xu Youyu put his feet on the chair, hugged his knees with his hands, and read the long review carefully several times.

He laughed every time he watched it, from the initial smile with pursed lips to the smile spreading across his entire face in the end, Xu Youyu himself didn't even realize it.

[Go to bed early and you will grow taller]: It’s worth it that I rewarded you as the leader, and I pinned it to the top of the list!

……

At around six o'clock in the evening, Yan Zhusheng, who was relaxing in the piano room while playing the piano, glanced at the time.

Then she stood up, walked out of the piano room, and came to the door of Xu Youyu's bedroom.

But she thought about it and didn't knock on the door. Instead, she continued walking deeper into the corridor until she came to the door of Li Luo's bedroom.

dong dong dong.

"Please come in."

Hearing Li Luo's voice, Yan Zhusheng pushed open the door and poked his head in curiously.

This was her first time entering a boy's bedroom.

As if exploring an unknown world, Yan Zhusheng walked in cautiously and looked at Li Luo who was sitting at the desk.

Perhaps because he already knew that Yan Zhusheng knew he was writing a novel, Li Luo didn't guard against Yan Zhusheng. He continued to type on the keyboard and said without turning his head, "I'll finish it soon. You sit down for a while."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng blinked and looked around, but couldn't find a chair to sit on, so he had to walk to the bed and sit down on the edge of the bed next to the desk.

The soft mattress supported his hips, and Yan Zhusheng supported the bed with his right hand, feeling a slight strangeness rising in his heart.

"Ahem, ahem... don't look at it." Li Luo noticed Yan Zhusheng was looking at his screen, and immediately raised his hand to cover it, saying a little embarrassedly, "I can't write with someone watching me."

It's like going to the toilet. If there's someone watching you the whole time, you'll always feel like something's wrong and you won't be able to use your strength.

"Oh..." Yan Zhusheng obediently looked away, put her hands back on her knees properly, and waited quietly, but her eyes were darting around, wanting to take a few more looks at Li Luo's bedroom.
