Chapter 262 Yan Zhusheng's Little Plan
There was another knock on Li Luo's bedroom door.
This time was different from the previous time. The sound was exceptionally loud and woke up the four people in the room at once.
"Uncle, your mother is calling you to get up. She told you to pack your luggage and go back to the city in the afternoon." Li Xiang's voice came from outside the door.
"Got it!" Li Luo responded quickly, "I'm getting up, you go down first."
"Okay." Li Xiang certainly wouldn't push the door open again. After getting Li Luo's reply, he turned around and went downstairs.
This made Li Luo feel somewhat relieved.
"What are you afraid of?" Xu Youyu sat up from the mat and looked at Li Luo with a smile, "It doesn't matter if we are seen, right? It's just the last day for good friends to get together for a sleepover."
"The fewer misunderstandings there are, the better." Li Luo rolled his eyes at her. "Hurry up and get up. Have lunch at noon, and then go back."
"I'm sleepy." Yan Zhusheng, who had just been woken up, closed his eyes again and pulled the quilt to cover half of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes and little paws exposed. He wanted to continue sleeping.
Xu Youyu stood up, put on his shoes, walked out of the bedroom and went to the bathroom to use the toilet. Then he lay back on the floor, yawned and said, "Call me at noon. I slept too late last night, and Xixi kept grabbing the quilt. I was woken up several times in the middle of the night by the cold."
"Yes, I'm sorry." Ying Chanxi said a little embarrassedly, "I fell asleep and couldn't control this."
"Just hold her in your arms while you sleep." Li Luo provided a perfect solution.
Xu Youyu glanced at him, then asked with a half-smile: "It looks like you've tried it?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Li Luo was speechless, "Zhu Sheng has tried it."
"Forget it." Xu Youyu simply climbed onto the bed, and after he passed Li Luo, he squeezed into the space between him and Yan Zhusheng, and hugged Yan Zhusheng, "Zhusheng and I will sleep in the morning, you go down."
Li Luo was pushed off the bed by her and fell onto the floor.
Ying Chanxi opened his eyes and looked at him, instinctively wanting to say something, but thinking of the fact that Yan Zhusheng had taken the bed first yesterday, he immediately lifted the quilt and changed his words, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
"Um...you guys go to sleep, I'll get up first." Li Luo picked up his clothes and pants from the desk, with no intention of continuing to sleep.
Seeing this, Ying Chanxi pursed his lips, snorted in dissatisfaction, then turned sideways with his back to Li Luo, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Li Luo changed his clothes and put on his shoes, then stood at the door and glanced into the room. Seeing that the three of them still needed to catch up on some sleep, he sighed slightly, walked out of the bedroom, closed the door, washed up briefly, and went downstairs to the living room.
At this time, Li Xiang was sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone. When he saw Li Luo coming down, his face suddenly looked a little strange. The magical scene he had seen before emerged in his mind, and his heart was full of admiration for Li Luo.
"Is there something on my face?" Li Luo noticed his gaze, touched his face, and asked curiously.
"Nothing." Li Xiang shook his head repeatedly, then asked curiously, "Uncle, can I ask you a question?"
"Just ask."
"In your book, at the end, which heroine will the hero be with?"
"Ah?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Come on, I'm already the protagonist, why do I have to choose one out of the three? I must want all of them."
"But the heroine you created doesn't seem like she can accept this situation calmly." Li Xiang couldn't help but continue asking.
"It's just a novel, why take it so seriously?" Li Luo waved his hand and said, "If we really get to that stage, it will already be several million words later. Instead of pursuing realism and having the three heroines tear each other apart, it's better to write a sci-fi happy ending."
"More sci-fi?" Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this meant.
"I just don't pursue the so-called truth in my writing, just to bring readers a stable and happy ending." Li Luo explained briefly, "After all, everyone comes to online literature to have fun. If I insist on pursuing truth, depth, and connotation, why would I write online literature?"
“Everyone is happy reading it, and I am happy writing it too.”
"I've earned some money from my writings, and my life is comfortable, so everyone is happy."
After getting this answer, Li Xiang couldn't help but twitch his lips.
It turns out that his uncle himself is aware of how magical and illogical this ending is, right?
So how did you manage to get three girls to sleep in the same room with you?
This really left Li Xiang puzzled.
Perhaps only with such a wonderful and eventful life experience can one write a work like "I'm Really Not a Star".
Li Xiang sighed deeply, and finally made up his mind and opened the comment section of the novel.
[My sister kicked me]: I realized another truth today. No matter whether it is Shen Dongdong, Mo Qinghan, or Jiang Mingyue, they are all very good girls.
[My Sister Kicked Me]: But if Li Yang only chose one of them in the end, it would be a more regrettable ending for both the girl who was chosen and the two girls who were regretfully abandoned.
[My Sister Kicked Me]: The former has Li Yang's heart, but perhaps she can still only get one-third of his heart. I believe Li Yang will be a good husband, but I also believe in his feelings for the other two people.
[My sister kicked me]: As for the latter two, once a boy like Li Yang appeared in their lives, they would probably never be able to accept the approach of other men, and in the end they would just grow old alone with regrets.
[Sister Kicks Me]: If that's the case, why can't we have them all? The relationship between the three girls is not bad. Living with the four of them, except for Li Yang's kidneys suffering a little, is already the best outcome!
After a series of mental shocks in these days, Li Xiang's three views have been shattered and reorganized several times. Finally, he was reborn, comprehended the new truth, and his whole person was sublimated.
But obviously, not many people can understand this guy's fence-sitter behavior.
[Brother, I have been following you for a few days, and you really change your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book]
[I think the plot in recent days has been pushing Shen Dongdong's plot. How on earth can you jump back and forth? ]
[I guess I just watched it a few days ago. I immediately placed my bets when I saw that the relationship between the two characters progressed a bit faster in the beginning. Later, other female protagonists followed suit but were not determined.]
[It's so funny, you've been played around by Ran Ge so badly, do you still need to be taught everything? ]
[I have read countless books by my mother-in-law and aunt, and this book is considered a fresh one on my bookshelf, much better than those Chinese entertainment bulldozers.]
[The poster is still a child, let him go. Also, Dongdong is the cutest! I’ll take him away first.]
[Who said that if Li Yang chooses one, the other two will live out their lives alone? Don't worry, I will take good care of them.]
[It’s okay, I can let Li Yang die alone, I’m willing to be the one who takes over! ]
The comment section is very lively.
Since breaking through the average subscription of 15000 last month, as time is approaching the end of this month, Li Luo's "I'm Really Not a Star" is about to cross the threshold of average subscriptions.
Among the books currently being serialized, no more than ten can achieve this result.
Li Luo is already a veritable rising star in the Qidian online literature circle.
The word rising star can no longer be used to describe him.
In the eyes of most authors, as long as he continued to write this book, he would almost certainly become a god. So much so that when Li Luo occasionally popped up in the author group, people already called him "Ran Shen".
He has basically been in the top ten on the website's monthly ticket list and best-selling list, and is even in the top five most of the time.
Based on this achievement, he now earns more than 100,000 yuan in royalties from the main website every month.
In all major distribution channels, he also benefited from the huge traffic brought by the collaboration with Yuan Wanqing during the New Year's Day, which directly enabled him to gain a firm foothold on the channel websites.
This kind of stage where traffic and exposure are competed for often sees the strong getting stronger.
If you have high exposure and earn more money, those channel websites will naturally be more willing to put you in a better exposure position.
With such a virtuous cycle, Li Luo's channel royalties will probably always be much higher than those from the main site.
Especially now that mobile Internet is on the rise and computer-side web pages are still in their glorious stage, channel websites on both sides are flourishing.
The traffic of Qidian.com is actually far less than the total traffic of these channel websites combined.
Although Li Luo had heard about the exaggerated channel royalties during this period in his previous life, it was only after he was actually in the situation that he realized how outrageous the specific situation was.
All I can say is that this is truly the golden age of online literature.
The channel boom, copyright fever, and various capitals pouring into the market have indeed made the top authors of this period earn a lot of money.
Now that Li Luo has become one of them, he naturally enjoys the same treatment.
With the support of the royalties from the novels, it would be no problem for me to buy a shop on the West Street of Qianjiang University.
Maybe I can buy a few more.
Anyway, before the subway plan is officially finalized, it is never too few to buy as many shops as possible.
It all depends on how the discussion with dad goes by then.
In particular, the Times Tianjie across West Street had never been started until the subway plan was announced.
This leads to most people being insensitive to this matter.
If you can securely take over a few shops, even if you don't sell them to get the money back after the subway opens, just leaving them there for your parents to collect rent will be a good choice.
In fact, we can find something for them to do.
Moreover, West Street is adjacent to Qianjiang University and is also close to Bihai Lanting.
If Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong are interested, they can open a store on West Street according to their own interests after Li Luo is admitted to university.
Being my own boss, hanging out here every day, and meeting my son for a meal from time to time is quite convenient.
Qianjiang University itself is also open to the public. If parents are interested, they can visit the school when the store opens, feel the atmosphere of young people, and their mental state will be much better.
Maybe I won’t get any serious illness again in the future.
"I've already told your uncle about the store on West Street that you mentioned before." Li Guohong pulled Li Luo to the balcony and said to him, "I'll go over there in a couple of days. I know a few real estate agents and I'll ask them to introduce us."
"When my February royalties come in next month, our family will have more than one million yuan." Li Luo said, "If I can maintain this level in the next few months, I will be able to earn three million yuan before the summer vacation. Dad, you can be bolder and don't save money."
"How come you are more radical than me?" Li Guohong was a little shocked. When he thought that this was more than three million, his hands even trembled a little.
He had never seen so much money in his life.
"Don't worry too much, Dad. Investments are definitely risky, but this is not the only money we have." Li Luo comforted him, "I still have a long time to write this book. Just think about how much this is for the royalties?"
"Besides, Aunt Yuan and I still have some agreements, including the two songs I sold her before, and the other two that have been reserved."
"If I have more inspiration later, there will be more than just these four songs, and the revenue generated by then will not be less than that from the novel."
If Li Luo hadn't reminded him, Li Guohong would have almost forgotten about it.
My son is not only a good novel writer, but also a good song writer.
Besides, both Yuan Wanqing and the Huayue Film and Television Company where Yuan Wanqing works are very familiar to Li Guohong.
"Speaking of this, your uncle Ying did talk to me about it these days." Li Guohong said, "He said that you are not a simple guy, and what follow-up plans do you have with Yuan Wanqing? But he didn't go into detail, and I felt that it was a bit unreliable."
"Uncle Ying is right to think so." Li Luo smiled. "After all, no one has done this before. I am not sure myself. I can only say that I will give it a try."
"So what do you want to do?"
"Nothing." Li Luo chuckled, "I just wanted to arrange a new song release conference for Aunt Yuan in the book."
……
At noon, Li Luo went upstairs and woke the three girls up from bed.
Compared to Ying Chanxi who likes to grab the quilt, Yan Zhusheng has a stable sleeping posture, and Xu Youyu is more free when sleeping.
Anyway, looking at the few times Li Luo slept with her, they used different positions almost every time.
And they are all very weird.
For example, now Xu Youyu is half lying on his side, with one hand in front and the other hand behind, and his legs are spread apart, just like he is walking on the bed, but his hands and feet are the same.
I don't know how I can sleep like this.
"How did Zhusheng and Xixi come down from upstairs?" Lin Xiuhong asked curiously when she saw Li Luo coming downstairs with three girls.
"Yesterday was our last day here." Li Luo coughed and explained simply, "The three of them insisted on sleeping together."
"Is that so?" Lin Xiuhong laughed when she heard this, "You two have a really good relationship. Come and have dinner."
After lunch, Lin Xiuhong cleaned up the kitchen and told Ying Chanxi and the others, "Xixi, remember to pack your luggage. We will leave on time at 2pm. Remind your dad too."
"I know, Aunt Lin." Ying Chanxi agreed, and then said to Yan Zhusheng, "Zhusheng, let's go and pack our things."
"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded, but then said, "Xixi, you go first. I'm going to the bathroom."
After watching Ying Chanxi leave and Xu Youyu go upstairs to pack his luggage, Yan Zhusheng walked over to Lin Xiuhong and whispered, "Auntie, can I discuss something with you?"
"Hmm? What's the matter?" Lin Xiuhong was puzzled for a moment, looked at Yan Zhusheng, and said with a smile, "Don't be so polite, just say it directly."
