Chapter 282 You can do anything~
While Li Luo and Ying Chanxi were cooking in the kitchen, Xu Youyu had already returned to his bedroom and took advantage of the time before dinner to type for a while.

Her book "The Literary Era" has maintained a very stable and rapid growth in performance in the more than one month after the Chinese New Year.

From the average subscription level of 5000 just before the start of the school year, now more than a month later, the average subscription has risen to nearly 7000.

Although this is related to her good writing skills, the more important factor is that the exposure provided by Li Luo helped her achievements snowball.

Not only during the New Year's Day, but also when Li Luo himself had a lot of exposure, he gave her another chapter promotion.

Later, when Li Luo released new chapters, he would always mention the book "Literary Age" in the writer's words from time to time.

You know, now "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" has become the hottest brand in the current urban category.

He now has over 24 readers for each chapter within hours.

That is to say, every time Li Luo publishes a chapter, at least 10,000 Qidian readers will click on his latest chapter to take a look in the following day.

In addition, "I'm Really Not a Star" and "Literary Era" belong to the same urban entertainment genre, with a large overlap in readers, so the recommendation effect is naturally better.

In this case, the better the performance of "Literary Age", the easier it is for the website to give it a better recommendation position, thus gaining more exposure.

With more exposure, there will naturally be more readers, and the performance will increase rapidly. In addition, the literary style of "Literary Age" itself has a natural advantage in word of mouth, and it quickly spread among various reader groups, forming a trend of praise from readers.

It is because of this virtuous cycle that the performance of "Literary Era" has improved so significantly.

From the early results of over 1000 first orders to the current average order of nearly 7000, Xu Youyu still feels quite a sense of accomplishment.

Thinking that a large part of the credit came from someone, Xu Youyu smiled and touched the wooden wrist rest on the table, then continued typing seriously on the keyboard.

When it was almost time for dinner, Xu Youyu received a private message from editor Qianzhou.

[Qianzhou]: April 4th, best-selling selections, don’t stop updating then.

[Qianzhou]: It’s going to be recommended. The recent growth is very good. I will arrange a recommended position for you and strive to get 10,000 subscriptions.

10000 orders...

When Xu Youyu heard the editor say this, he was in a trance for a moment.

When she first entered the industry last year, the editor pulled her into the QQ group of Qidian’s contracted authors. Full of curiosity, she lurked in the group and learned all kinds of knowledge about online literature.

At that time, for her, and even for most of the contracted authors, 10,000 subscriptions was a mysterious entity that was hard to find.

Those with excellent results may occasionally show up in the group.

As for the tycoon with tens of thousands of subscriptions, Xu Youyu actually never spoke to anyone in the group at that time.

I guess they all have their own small groups and would never speak in large groups like the contracted authors group.

But now, it has only been less than a year, and I am about to become the kind of big boss with tens of thousands of orders that I used to think of as a mysterious dragon that is hard to find?

Thinking of this, Xu Youyu burst into laughter.

She thought that she had a big boss at home who had 20,000 orders and was cooking for her, so a mere 10,000 orders was nothing special.

It’s not like I haven’t seen it before at previous seminars.

In fact, they are just a group of ordinary people.

[Go to bed early and you will grow taller]: Got it ~ Thank you editor ~
[Qianzhou]: Thank you very much for rekindling.

[Qianzhou]: This guy always tells me how good and awesome "Literary Age" is, and why he doesn't give it more recommended spots or something.

[Qianzhou]: My ears are almost callused from listening to you.

[Qianzhou]: I even suspect that you have kidnapped him.

[Going to bed early will make you taller]: No way!

[Going to bed early will make you taller]: But did he really say that?

[Qianzhou]: I have said it several times, but the recommendations are ranked according to performance and updates. I am not giving you a backdoor this time. It is just a normal recommendation process.

【Going to bed early will make you taller】: Yeah! I know.

After talking with the editor, Xu Youyu laughed and shook his head.

Thinking of Li Luo sitting in front of the computer, passionately recommending his book to the editor, she smiled with her chin propped up, and suddenly she felt the urge to tease her junior.

"Senior, come and eat."

Just then, the meal outside was ready. Ying Chanxi came over and knocked on the door, calling her to eat.

Xu Youyu responded, closed the typing interface, stood up and walked out of the room.

During dinner, seven people sat in a circle.

Li Luo ate his food while considering the matter, and then he said, "I don't know if your teacher has talked about it in private, but I got some new information from Teacher Kong about the college entrance examination reform."

"I think Teacher Sun mentioned it." Qiao Xinyan recalled, "He mentioned it to us during the competition class, saying that we would know the details by the end of the month."

"Yeah." Li Luo nodded, and then said, "I guess you have all heard about the free choice of subjects."

"Ah?" Xu Yinghuan blinked, a little confused, "What? I haven't heard of it."

The other six people present looked at Xu Yinghuan as if they were looking at a monkey in a zoo.

But think about it.

After all, Xu Yinghuan is not a top student.

Li Luo and his classmates are all top students in the class, so the head teacher would privately remind them in advance, but in fact there is not much actual difference.

Before the formal reform measures are issued, anything may change, so the teacher dare not guarantee anything.

But after all, Li Luo is looking at the problem from the perspective of the future, so he can naturally be more confident.

So he continued, "Starting from our class, when we divide the classes in the second year of high school, we may not simply divide them into arts and sciences, but choose three subjects that we like or are good at from a few secondary subjects."

"Huh?" Xu Yinghuan was obviously hearing this for the first time, and her eyes widened immediately, "Is this true?"

"It should be true. The teacher has said it privately several times." Ying Chanxi nodded and said, "I just don't know how to change it specifically."

"Is this really okay?" Xu Yinghuan frowned, "I think this is a big problem."

"For example, I mean for example." Xu Yinghuan raised a finger.

"If I had chosen physics, chemistry, and history."

"Li Luo, you chose physics, chemistry, and geography."

"During the college entrance examination, our physics and chemistry papers were the same, but history and geography were different."

"What if the history paper is harder and the geography paper is easier?"

"Then I am at a disadvantage, right?"

"Yeah." Li Luo nodded. "So this is the problem with free course selection. It's hard to balance the fairness of the college entrance examination."

"So what Mr. Kong said is that, except for Chinese, math and English, other secondary subjects may adopt the form of assigned points instead of directly using the paper scores."

"To put it simply, you take the history test and I take the geography test."

"No matter how we do in the exam, we have to compare with all the students who take history or geography exams."

"If the history paper is difficult and you only scored 89 points, but you are in the top 1% of all students who took the history test, then your actual score is 100 points."

"And when I took the geography test, even though I got 91 points on the test paper because it was easy, my ranking was only in the top 3% of all students taking the geography test, so my actual score was only 97 points."

At this point, everyone else showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then suddenly became thoughtful.

"Did Teacher Kong tell you even this kind of detail?" Ying Chanxi asked doubtfully, "Why didn't Teacher Sun mention it to me?"

"After all, I'm the only one in the parallel class who can consistently rank in the top 40 in the school." Li Luo raised his eyebrows. "And the only impact of this scoring system on you is that you can only rely on Chinese, math and English to widen the gap between your scores and those of others."

In fact, among the seven people present.

Except for Xu Youyu, a sophomore who does not need to worry about this problem, top students like Ying Chanxi, Li Luo and Qiao Xinyan can basically get 100 points in the three minor subjects under the point allocation system, as long as they don't do too badly.

For someone like Zhao Rongjun, as long as he takes it seriously and plans his exam time and review preparation well, he also has a hope of getting 100 points in all three subjects.

Therefore, the people who really need to take this matter seriously are Yan Zhusheng and Xu Yinghuan.

"In any case, the specific situation still needs to be determined by the school's follow-up arrangements." Li Luo said, "I'm just giving you a reminder so that you can be prepared."

If possible, Li Luo still hopes that everyone can be admitted to the same university in the future.

There should be no problem with Qiao Xinyan and Zhao Rongjun.

Yan Zhusheng is pursuing the path of an art student, so there should be nothing wrong with his current grades.

It’s just that Xu Yinghuan’s grades are too bad. Li Luo is not sure what her college entrance examination results were in her previous life, but based on the current situation, she is still quite far from Qianjiang University.

At least your regular academic performance should be consistently among the top 150 in the school, so that you will have a chance during the college entrance examination.

……

After eating, clear the table.

Seven people sat down around the desk.

Before, Li Luo thought it was unnecessary for his mother to buy him such a big desk.

Now looking at it, it's just right. Seven people are even a bit crowded.

Perhaps it was the topic they talked about during dinner just now that irritated Xu Yinghuan a little.

Or maybe she finally aroused her competitive desire to study when facing so many top students.

So when they studied together in the evening, Xu Yinghuan would ask questions to the people around her from time to time.

Yan Zhusheng, who was next to Li Luo, was similar. He would often pull Li Luo to explain the questions.

We studied from six in the evening to nine in the evening, and everyone felt that the study was fulfilling.

After Qiao Xinyan and the others got up, packed up, and prepared to say goodbye and go home.

Li Luo walked them out the door, but Zhao Rongjun paused, turned back, came up to Li Luo and whispered, "Can I discuss something with you?"

"What's the matter?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion.

"It's...your novel." Zhao Rongjun complained speechlessly, "The character named Zhao Xiaorong you wrote was completely based on me, right?" "You wrote me in such a miserable way. I was cheated of money by a girl I dated online, had a crush on my deskmate in high school, and was a bootlicker in college. I had a relationship once, but in the end I was just treated as an ATM and didn't even hold hands with her!"

"I felt so uncomfortable when I read it. Will you die if you arrange a better girlfriend for me in the book? You are torturing me like this!"

"Ahem..." Li Luo felt a little embarrassed when he heard him say that, but he still reminded him quietly, "The person who cheated money through online dating is not a girl. I guess you didn't look carefully. She is actually a man."

"You fucking bastard..." Zhao Rongjun's face was full of black lines. He felt so uncomfortable seeing this kind of plot that he had no mind to watch it carefully!

"This is part of the source material. You should just not put yourself in it." Li Luo said with a smile, "Other people put themselves in the protagonist's shoes when reading a book, why do you put yourself in the supporting role?"

"You're the protagonist, how can I put myself in his shoes?" Zhao Rongjun said unhappily, "Can you write me better later? Is it so difficult to give me a normal girlfriend?"

"It's not difficult." Li Luo shook his head and said, "But the female supporting roles with names in the film are basically all based on real life."

"So if you really want..."

Li Luo pointed at Qiao Xinyan and Xu Yinghuan who were waiting for the elevator not far away and asked quietly, "Which one of them do you like more? It's hard for us to match you up in real life, but you can still satisfy them in the book."

When Zhao Rongjun heard him say this, his face suddenly turned black. He subconsciously glanced at the elevator entrance, and accidentally met Qiao Xinyan's eyes. He was so scared that he quickly turned his head back, his face flushed, and finally he could only utter two words.

“…Get out!”

"Tsk, your kindness is really taken for granted." Li Luo shook his head and sighed, "It would be fine if you didn't dare to do it in real life, but you are still so timid even after writing it into the novel. It shows that the character I created is indeed very close to reality."

"You have so many twisted theories." Zhao Rongjun couldn't argue with him, so he could only turn around and walk away in anger, "I won't say any more to you."

"Hey! Are you really not going to choose one?" Li Luo asked hurriedly, "Or anyone else is fine, just pick one."

"What did he ask you to choose?" Xu Yinghuan looked at Zhao Rongjun who was walking over with confusion and asked curiously.

"Nothing, nothing..." Zhao Rongjun followed the two girls into the elevator, hesitatingly, and lowered his head fiercely. Li Luo's bewitching voice was still lingering in his mind, and he didn't dare to even look at them.

……

"Li Luo."

"What's wrong?" After Li Luo sent the person away, he returned to the living room and saw Yan Zhusheng sitting alone on the sofa.

Seeing him come in, Yan Zhusheng stood up and walked towards him, pointing to the piano room: "It's time for class."

"Where are they?" Li Luo looked around but didn't see Xu Youyu and Ying Chanxi.

"Xixi went to take a shower." Yan Zhusheng said, "Senior went back to his room."

"how about you?"

"I'll teach you a lesson."

"Okay." Li Luo laughed, "Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Yan. What class do you have today?"

"Piano lesson." Yan Zhusheng pulled Li Luo into the piano room and made him sit down in front of the piano. "Listen carefully, Li. I will teach you a new song today."

"Teacher Yan, why are you wearing a school uniform?" Li Luo teased, "Is it a fake?"

"Don't say unnecessary words during class." Yan Zhusheng said seriously with a stern face, "Take your hands out."

"What's wrong?" Li Luo stretched out a hand.

Yan Zhusheng looked down at Li Luo's hand, squeezed it with one hand, and gently patted his palm with the other hand: "This is your punishment for not attending class well."

"Then this punishment is quite pleasant."

"Listen to the class carefully and don't tease the teacher."

……

On the other side, in the bathroom.

Ying Chanxi hummed a little tune and sang a song, wrapped his hair with a towel, and stood in the shower to take a bath.

After taking a shower, she took the towel to dry her body, then wrapped herself in the towel, stood in front of the sink, and put on the bracelet that Li Luo gave her.

Looking at the bracelet on her wrist in the mirror, Ying Chanxi gave a lovely smile, then she began to wash her face, using facial cleanser and then moisturizing with toner.

After doing all this, she took out the body lotion, untied the bath towel, poured some into the palm of her hand, and applied it on her smooth skin.

By the time all this was done, nearly half an hour had passed.

This is because she didn’t wash her hair today, otherwise it would have taken even longer.

After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, Ying Chanxi walked out of the bathroom and walked towards Li Luo's bedroom as usual.

After knocking on the door, he pushed it open and looked inside. He found that Li Luo was not typing. Ying Chanxi frowned and immediately turned and walked towards the piano room.

As expected, as soon as I walked to the door of the piano room, I heard the faint sound of piano coming from inside.

Ying Chanxi opened the door of the piano room and looked inside. He saw Yan Zhusheng standing behind Li Luo, leaning over his back and stretching out his hand to teach him how to play.

Yan Zhusheng inside saw Ying Chanxi, slowly withdrew his hand, and asked doubtfully: "Is there something wrong, Xixi?"

"...It's okay." Ying Chanxi took a deep breath, smiled, then left the piano room and closed the door considerately.

However, she did not go back to her bedroom directly. Instead, she walked into the kitchen, took some fruit, washed and cut it, then carried the plate back to the door of the piano room, knocked on it and pushed it open.

"Have some fruit." Ying Chanxi put the plate on the small table next to him, and then sat down on the chair against the wall. "I'll listen for a while, too. Do you guys mind?"

"Thank you, Xixi." Yan Zhusheng picked up a grape and put it in his mouth. After thinking for a while, he took one for Li Luo as well, "You have one too."

Just as Li Luo was about to reach out to take it, Yan Zhusheng had already handed it directly to his mouth, so he had no choice but to open his mouth and take it.

Ying Chanxi looked at this scene and puffed up his lips slightly. Finally, he couldn't bear to watch it any longer and couldn't help but said, "Zhu Sheng, I've finished my shower. Senior Sister will probably have to take a shower later. Why don't you go take a shower first? Otherwise, you'll bump into Senior Sister later."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng heard her say that, so he nodded and agreed, "Then I'll go take a shower first."

"Okay." Li Luo nodded, stretched out his body while sitting in front of the piano, and when he saw Yan Zhusheng walk out of the piano room, he also stood up and said, "Then I'll go back to code..."

"Wait." Ying Chanxi pulled him back expressionlessly and pushed Li Luo back to his seat. "What did Zhu Sheng teach you to play just now? Play it again. I want to see how well you have learned it."

"It's just those few songs. You've basically heard them all."

"I want to listen."

"Okay, okay." Li Luo raised his hands in surrender. "Then I'll play and sing for you, okay?"

Ying Chanxi nodded slightly satisfied: "Then hurry up."

The melodious sound of piano could be heard again from the piano room, along with Li Luo's singing.

After singing and playing for about ten minutes, Ying Chanxi reluctantly let Li Luo go. He followed him back to the bedroom with a plate of fruit, supervised him while he was typing, and occasionally gave him a grape.

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Li Luo finished his work.

Ying Chanxi washed the fruit plate, said good night to Li Luo, and returned to his bedroom.

After lying on the bed, she stretched out her hand, without even looking, and easily grabbed Pikachu and Doraemon, held them in her arms and punched them twice.

Then she thought of the scene she had just seen in the piano room and gave Pikachu two more punches to take care of him.

Just as Ying Chanxi was venting his emotions by holding the doll, he fell asleep holding the panda doll.

Xu Youyu, who had just finished typing, stretched and glanced at his writer background. He found that the average subscription had just reached the baseline of 7000, and he immediately smiled happily.

She took a screenshot and sent it to Li Luo on QQ.

But thinking that the identities of both of them had been exposed long ago, Xu Youyu simply got up, strolled out of the bedroom, and pushed open Li Luo's door.

"Li Luo, let me tell you something... um..." Looking at Li Luo who had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Xu Youyu blinked, then lowered his gaze and couldn't help but take a few more glances, "Does your... Pikachu fit?"

Li Luo: “…”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Luo always felt like he had seen it before, as if the exact same thing had happened not long ago.

But compared to Ying Chanxi, Xu Youyu was much more generous. He was not shy at all and even looked at her a few more times.

Li Luo hurriedly walked to the bed and put on his pajamas, then said speechlessly: "You came into my room in the middle of the night, can't you develop a good habit of knocking on the door?"

"I was so happy that I forgot about it in my haste to find you." Xu Youyu curled his lips, then raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "And what do you mean by you? Xixi and Zhusheng sneaked into your room in the middle of the night?"

"Don't ask so many questions." Li Luo's face darkened, and he immediately changed the subject and asked, "What did you want to say when you came in just now?"

"Nothing." Xu Youyu snorted twice, walked to Li Luo's computer, opened his QQ and showed him the screenshots, "Look! 7000 average subscriptions! Isn't that impressive?"

"Is it increasing so fast?" Li Luo came over to take a look, a little surprised. "At this rate, I think we can get 10,000 orders in the first half of the year, right?"

"Hehe." Xu Youyu smiled proudly, "Of course, there is a recommendation arranged for me at the end of the month, I think it should be soon."

"That's great." Li Luo clapped his hands to applaud her, then smiled and said, "I don't know if you still remember that we made a bet before. If you reach 10,000 orders, you have to promise me one thing unconditionally."

"You remember it so clearly?" Xu Youyu looked at Li Luo with a smile, and then said with a chuckle, "No wonder you strongly recommended my book to the editor all day long. I thought you were so kind, but it turns out you had this idea."

"Hmm? Chizuu told you?"

"Hmm~" Xu Youyu got up from the chair, pushed Li Luo's chest, and pushed him onto the bed with a smile, with his knees in the middle, "Do you really want me to lose to you?"

"If there's something you really want me to do, there's no need to go through such a big detour."

"Junior, if you want to do something, just tell me now, I can satisfy you~"

As he spoke, Xu Youyu leaned down, lifted Li Luo's chin, and winked at him in a very ambiguous way.

Her hair fell down and landed on Li Luo's face, feeling itchy.

Because she was leaning over and her pajamas were loose, her chest rested lightly on Li Luo's chest, yet it felt heavy.

Li Luo took a deep breath, turned his head away, and barely managed to keep himself awake.

"I only have one request now, you go back to your room and go to sleep."

"You're so boring." Xu Youyu moved away from him and said with a smile, "At least cooperate with me. I don't really need anything."

"Can you please have some understanding of your own charm before you say that?" Li Luo sat up from the bed with a headache on his face and said helplessly.

"I thought you wouldn't fall for my trick." Xu Youyu laughed, "It turns out it is still somewhat useful?"

"Alright, alright, don't let Xixi hear the noise again." Li Luo waved his hand and said, "Go to bed early."

"I know~" Xu Youyu turned and walked out the door, waving at him, but before closing the door, he still poked his head in and smiled at him ambiguously, "However, when I get a 10,000-order order, I can really consider agreeing to one thing for you~ Anything is fine."
