Chapter 220 I am willing to do anything
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Li Luo and his two companions left the barbecue restaurant drunk and headed back towards the Four Seasons Hotel.

Along the way, Qianzhou sighed from time to time: "Go to bed early when you go back, and don't run out again, otherwise if something unexpected happens, I won't be able to explain to your parents."

"Don't worry, editor." After drinking, Xu Youyu carelessly put his arm around Li Luo's shoulders, burped contentedly, and patted Qianzhou's shoulders, "What time is the meeting tomorrow?"

"It starts at 8:30." Qianzhou said, "You'd better set an alarm for 8 o'clock. Don't be late. There is free breakfast on the second floor of the hotel. You can go in and eat with your room card."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

After returning to the hotel, the three took the elevator upstairs.

Because Qianzhou arrived early yesterday, his hotel room was arranged on the eighth floor. After the elevator reached the floor, he walked out while giving instructions again.

After the elevator door closed again and they reached the ninth floor, Li Luo and Xu Youyu returned to their respective rooms.

Li Luo originally thought that the day would end like this. After sorting out his feelings about the exposure of his vest, he sat down at the table and started typing.

As a result, after he had been writing for about half an hour, there was a knock on his door.

Li Luo knew who was looking for him without even opening the door.

After all, he only had two acquaintances in the entire hotel.

Qianzhou is sleeping downstairs, so it can only be the one next door.

Li Luo walked to the door and opened it, and as expected, he saw Xu Youyu.

But compared with Xu Youyu who was wearing a down jacket just now, Xu Youyu, who had just finished taking a shower, was wearing the thin pajamas she brought with her, with her long hair still wet on her shoulders, and her whole body exuded a fresh and refined temperament.

Seeing Li Luo open the door, Xu Youyu walked in with a notebook in his arms, wearing the hotel's disposable slippers, and his pair of white legs were clearly visible under his pajamas and shorts.

"What are you doing here?"

"Type!" Xu Youyu put the laptop he brought on the table, pulled a chair and sat down next to Li Luo, then sat cross-legged on the chair.

Seeing her insistence on staying here, Li Luo was speechless: "Can't you write in your own room?"

"It's almost too late. It's almost midnight and I still have to write 2000 words." Xu Youyu pointed at his still wet hair and said, "Help me blow dry my hair. Save me some time."

"..." Li Luo took a deep breath, feeling a bit amused, "So they're using me as free labor, right?"

"Don't you often provide free labor for Xixi when you're at home?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him. "What's wrong with letting me enjoy myself now? Hurry up, please. You have so many manuscripts saved, so it won't take a while."

Li Luo shook his head helplessly, but did not refuse. He took out the hotel's own hair dryer from the bathroom and came behind Xu Youyu.

The two of them have lived under the same roof for so long, but this is the first time he has blown Xu Youyu's hair.

I have to say, compared to blowing Ying Chanxi's hair, the temptation to resist when blowing Xu Youyu's hair was particularly great.

Especially since Xu Youyu probably bought very loose pajamas for comfort, it was difficult for Li Luo to look away when he was standing behind her and looking down at her.

Fortunately, Li Luo had experience in his previous life.

If you really want to count it, Xu Youyu was probably the first girl in his life who blow-dried his hair.

It's just that I've never tried it in this life.

Thinking of this, Li Luo turned on the hair dryer, stroked Xu Youyu's shoulder-length hair with his left hand, and his eyes suddenly fell into memories.

Recalling the steps that Xu Youyu taught him in his previous life, Li Luo played the flute very carefully.

Xu Youyu leaned back in his chair, typing on the keyboard with both hands, and surprisingly felt very comfortable.

I have to say that Li Luo's technique of blow-drying girls' hair is really skillful.

"As expected of a man who often blows Xixi's hair." Xu Youyu chuckled, "It feels so comfortable, better than when I blow it myself."

"Heh." Li Luo smiled and thought to himself that this was not something he learned from helping Xixi blow-dry her hair, but something you taught him personally in your previous life.

But some words are destined to be buried deep in the heart.

As Li Luo thought about this, his eyes softened.

After drying Xu Youyu's hair for about ten minutes, Li Luo put the hair dryer back into the bathroom and sat down next to Xu Youyu.

The two people did not disturb each other and started typing.

Xu Youyu's writing style is quite unique.

She sat on the chair with her legs crossed. Once she started typing, she began to mutter to herself, and from time to time she would imitate the dialogues of the characters in the book.

Sometimes, in order to suit the different characters' speaking habits, different expressions will be displayed on the face, sometimes laughing, sometimes angry.

When she found the feeling, her hands jumped quickly on the keyboard, and a vivid plot came into view.

But if she can't find the right feeling, her imitation is not good enough, or the deduction of a plot is stuck and she needs to choose a certain way of expression, she will hesitate to start.

After struggling for a long time and pausing for a long time, his hands finally moved a few times with difficulty.

At this time, she supported her hands on her legs in distress, her whole body swaying, sometimes closing her eyes to think, and sometimes suddenly jumping off the chair and walking back and forth in the room.

Sometimes I stop in front of the window, looking at the endless night in the distance, gazing at the night view of West Lake in the distance, letting my thoughts wander and catching the fleeting inspiration.

Then he looked very happy, and he pulled out a chair abruptly. Before he even had time to sit down, he stood up and typed on the keyboard, typing quickly.

Only after I finished writing this paragraph did I pull up a chair and sit cross-legged again, feeling relaxed both physically and mentally.

Compared to Xu Youyu, Li Luo's typing noise was much quieter.

After all, there is a memory palace in the brain, and Li Luo plays permutation and combination games in his mind most of the time.

According to the previously planned outline and detailed outline, the various plot contents that have been arranged and combined will be filled in in the form of text.

Therefore, his typing is almost uninterrupted, and the sound of "pa pa pa" continues to echo in the room, with a long and steady output.

Xu Youyu started writing at 2000: and continued until the early morning before he managed to finish the -word content.

During this period of time, Li Luo has already written more than 8,000 words.

Xu Youyu, who was standing by, uploaded the latest chapter with a look of satisfaction on his face. Then he came to Li Luo's computer and took a look at the word count, and was immediately shocked.

"You are a tentacle monster! You wrote 8,000 words in such a short time? What's wrong with your brain?"

"Calm down, it's just basic exercises." Li Luo waved his hand, saved the 8,000-word draft, and then rubbed his wrist, "I'm going to take a shower, isn't it time for you to go back to bed?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? I still have something to discuss with you." Xu Youyu sat on Li Luo's bed without any suspicion and pointed in the direction of the bathroom. "Go and take a shower. When you're done, we can have a good chat."

"Say what you want to say now, and then go back quickly." Li Luo pointed at the large floor-to-ceiling glass in the bathroom next to him and complained with a frown, "Do you still want to watch me take a bath?"

"Isn't there a curtain inside?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him. "I don't mind, but you're still shy?"

"Go away, if you have something to say, just say it." Li Luo was speechless. "Go back after you're done, and then I'll take a shower."

"Okay." Xu Youyu patted the bed, motioning him to sit down, and then said, "Then let's make three rules."

"What's the three-part agreement?"

"Of course it's about our novel writing." Xu Youyu's face suddenly became serious when he talked about this. "Now you know that I grow taller if I go to bed early, and I also know that you are rekindled. Neither of us wants others to know that we are writing novels." "So, we are on the same front now, right?"

"In this case, we must advance and retreat together and help each other."

After hearing what Xu Youyu said, Li Luo understood and laughed, "Isn't it just to help you keep a secret? I'm a very tight-lipped person and I won't spread it around. Just mind your own mouth."

"If that's all, why would I need to mention this to you?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him. "What I want to say is not only about keeping secrets from each other, but also about some other clauses."

"Just say it."

"Ahem." Xu Youyu cleared his throat, sorted out his thoughts, and then continued.

"First, keep each other's secrets. Without the other party's permission, never tell a third party that the other party is writing a novel in private."

"Second, if you find that the other party is at risk of being exposed, you should take the initiative to help the other party cover up and give timely reminders."

"Third, if necessary, you can also actively seek help from the other party, including but not limited to cooperation, covering up, white lies, etc."

Listening to Xu Youyu's methodical and clear explanation of the three rules, Li Luo's mouth twitched.

"You are really thoughtful. I admire you."

"Humph." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him. "We are now an offensive and defensive alliance, and we know each other's secrets. You'd better be serious."

"I see. Ultimately, it's better not to expose yourself." Li Luo nodded without commenting. "Then do you have anything else to do? If not, shouldn't you go back to bed?"

"What's the hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet." Xu Youyu waved his hand. "Just now we only discussed the specific terms. Now we need to confirm the actual situation."

"What's the actual situation?"

"It's about the degree of exposure we have to each other." Xu Youyu said, "Until now, my family members don't know that I am writing novels."

"You're the only one besides the editor who knows my true identity."

"So, what about you here?"

When asked this by Xu Youyu, Li Luo suddenly felt embarrassed, thinking that his confidentiality work was really poor.

He said helplessly: "My parents know about this, and then they told my uncle, so my uncle's family also knows about it."

"As for other relatives, I don't know if my uncle has mentioned this to them."

"Other than that, only Yan Zhusheng knows about this."

After listening to Li Luo's sharing, Xu Youyu showed an understanding expression on his face, but then he was dazed for a moment and asked curiously: "What about Xixi? Xixi doesn't know?"

"I do not know."

"Then why does Zhu Sheng know?"

"It's still the song 'Annual Rings'." Li Luo rolled his eyes. "I asked her to record this song secretly."

"But after uploading it online, a bunch of my readers left comments and sold me out."

"After Zhu Sheng saw those messages, he followed the clues and found my book."

When Xu Youyu heard what he said, he burst into laughter: "You are too stupid, aren't you? You can even expose this, you are a talent."

"Ha." Seeing her laughing so happily, Li Luo also laughed, and kindly reminded her with a fake smile, "So, I've been socially dead many times, and I don't mind a few more times, but it's hard to say what's going on with senior sister, right?"

When Xu Youyu heard what he said, his expression changed slightly: "What do you mean?"

"Means nothing."

"Tsk." Looking at Li Luo's arrogant look, Xu Youyu did not talk back. Instead, a weak expression appeared on his face. He looked at him pitifully with tears in his eyes. He even pulled down a corner of his pajamas to reveal his snow-white shoulders.

Then she bit her teeth lightly, blinked her eyes and said aggrievedly: "As long as you can help me keep the secret, I, I... am willing to do anything~"

"Fuck!" Li Luo was so scared that goose bumps appeared on his arms. He jumped off the bed and retreated to the window. "Senior sister, can you stop scaring me? Be more normal."

"Eh?" Xu Youyu blinked, restrained his expression, pulled up the shoulders of his pajamas, and asked curiously, "Don't you guys all fall for this?"

"But you also have to consider the compatibility of your skills." Li Luo rolled his eyes. "It's a bit weird that this happened to you."

"What do you mean?" Xu Youyu glared at him unhappily. "You still look down on me, don't you? I acted very well."

"If you've just finished four or five bottles of beer, don't say that."

"Tsk, this is just a stereotype." Xu Youyu snorted unconvinced, "How boring."

"Alright, alright, go back to your room and go to bed early." Li Luo waved his hand and said, "I still need to take a shower."

"I know." Xu Youyu climbed down from his bed, took his laptop, and then walked out of Li Luo's room in slippers.

Before leaving, Xu Youyu turned around and reminded him again: "Attack and defense alliance, you must remember this!"

"Got it, let's go."

"Then..." Xu Youyu leaned against the door frame, blinking charmingly, looking at him tenderly, and said softly, "Li Luo, good night~"

Li Luo covered his head, feeling a little headache, and hurried to the door and pushed her out: "Good night, good night, see you tomorrow."

"You are such a vulgar person." Xu Youyu frowned slightly and complained in a low voice, apparently he was addicted to acting.

"If you continue like this, I will call my uncle right now." Li Luo said expressionlessly.

"Alright, alright." Xu Youyu laughed, and then lost his temper. "I won't tease you anymore. Good night."

After saying that, Xu Youyu ran briskly to the door of his room, swiped his card to open the door, and before entering the room, he did not forget to wave to Li Luo.

Li Luo watched Xu Youyu disappear around the corner of the door, took a deep breath, then quickly returned to his room and slammed the door.

He took off all his clothes and walked into the bathroom, adjusting the water temperature in the shower to cold, letting the cold water fall on his head and soak his whole body.

Feeling the coolness on his body, Li Luo slowly exhaled.

The originally young and hot body finally calmed down slowly.

What a headache...

Li Luo rubbed his brows and laughed helplessly in his heart.

However, after the two people's identities were exposed to each other, the invisible barrier between him and Xu Youyu seemed to disappear immediately.

In the past, Xu Youyu was already cheerful and enthusiastic enough.

But after they both knew each other's true identity, Xu Youyu immediately became the person Li Luo once knew most.

Recalling Xu Youyu's various headache-inducing performances in bed just now, Li Luo smiled and shook his head, and scenes from his previous life kept appearing before his eyes.

His personality really hasn't changed at all.
