Chapter 288: Senior's Night Reward

In the piano room, after the good friends finished congratulating each other, Li Luo finally walked out and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Seeing this, Ying Chanxi immediately followed him into the kitchen, put on her apron, and helped Li Luo.

When it was time for dinner, the seven of them were chatting at the table, and Li Luo learned that Zhao Rongjun had actually won the table tennis semi-finals yesterday.

"Huh?" Li Luo asked in surprise, "Then you are in the finals?"

"correct."

"It's true that when things get dark in the east, there's always light in the west." Li Luo couldn't help but smile and said, "Should you thank me for this?"

"Why should I thank you?" Zhao Rongjun's face darkened. "I won the game myself. What does it have to do with you?"

"If our class hadn't eliminated your class three last week, how could you have had more energy and thoughts to devote yourself to the table tennis game?" Li Luo analyzed to him seriously, "So you can enter the finals, you should thank me."

Zhao Rongjun: "...Thank you so much."

"You're welcome."

After dinner, because the midterm exam was coming up on Monday, the finals of the three major ball games were scheduled to be held in the gymnasium on the afternoon of the 30th after the midterm exam.

So the seven of them cleaned up the dining table and sat down around the desk in the living room to review seriously.

Halfway through, Li Luo remembered Kong Junxiang's instructions, so he got up and went back to the bedroom and called his mother.

"Hello? What's up?"

It was now past seven in the evening. Lin Xiuhong had gone with Li Guohong to look at houses and bargain with people in the afternoon, and had also had a meal outside. She had just returned home when she received a call from her son.

I have to say, since she closed the breakfast shop, in the past two or three months, Lin Xiuhong's tone of voice has become more powerful.

My body is slowly recovering.

"I want to tell you and dad something." Li Luo said, "The school midterm exam will be in two days, and then there will be a May Day holiday. Next month, it should be on Saturday, May 5, which will be the parents' meeting for this semester."

"Teacher, what I mean is that the division of our second-year high school students may involve the new college entrance examination reform system introduced by the Ministry of Education."

"So this time at the parents' meeting, we will be told about this in detail, and parents are required to attend."

Hearing Li Luo say this, Lin Xiuhong turned on the speakerphone on her cell phone, and Li Guohong's voice also came over.

"What is the college entrance examination reform? Does it affect you?"

"It shouldn't have much impact on me." Li Luo said this and then gave a general account of the college entrance examination reform.

But Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong hadn't come across the college entrance examination for many years, so they were a little confused by what he said.

Finally, Li Guohong said, "Anyway, just show up at the parent-teacher conference, right? We're sure we'll be free."

"I'm sure I'll be free anyway." Lin Xiuhong said with a smile, "It just so happens that I didn't attend your parent-teacher meeting last time. I'll come this time. You should do well in the midterm exam and try to get your mother to praise the teacher more."

"Eh?" Li Guohong reacted now, "If you join his, what should I do?"

"You can go and join Xixi's party."

"Didn't you hear what Li Luo said? Parents must be present this time. If Lao Ying is free, he must go."

"Then you just wait outside."

"I don't think it's appropriate."

"What do you mean?"

"Ahem..." Li Guohong coughed twice, then analyzed the situation carefully for her, "I think this is the case."

"Do you remember the parents' meeting last year?"

"The time when our families went to Xu Youyu's house for dinner together."

"I remember, what's wrong?" Lin Xiuhong asked puzzledly.

"Didn't we talk about this last time after dinner?" Li Guohong reminded, "At that time, the two of us were here to attend a parent-teacher meeting for Li Luo and Xixi, so we couldn't spare the time in the morning."

"This time we should only need to hold a parent-teacher meeting for Li Luo, so the remaining person can stay at Bi Hai Lan Ting and prepare lunch in advance."

"When we go to the parent-teacher conference, you can prepare lunch here. After the conference, we can come over to eat directly. How nice."

"Then why don't you cook?" Lin Xiuhong narrowed her eyes and said, "Zhu Sheng is his deskmate, and her mother is Yuan Wanqing. Are you trying to chase a celebrity and hold a parents' meeting at the same time?"

"You...what are you talking about!" Li Guohong said dissatisfiedly, "I was thinking that Xixi and Yan Zhusheng are both single parents, but Xu Youyu's parents will definitely have only one to attend the parents-teachers' meeting, so the remaining one can come to Bi Hai Lan Ting to keep him company."

"What if it's Xu Youyu's mother who's attending the parents' meeting?"

"If that's what you mean..." Li Guohong said, "Then ask Li Luo to find out who in their family is going to the parents' meeting. If her mother isn't going, you two can cook together."

"That's fine." Lin Xiuhong nodded, and then said to Li Luo, "Did you hear that? Tell Zhu Sheng Youyu and the others about dinner. Let's make an appointment in advance."

"Got it." After listening to his parents discuss the parent-teacher meeting, Li Luo listened to Lin Xiuhong's instructions on daily matters, and then hung up the phone.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, after Zhao Rongjun and the others returned home, Li Luo talked to Ying Chanxi and the other two about the lunch at the parents' meeting.

So the three girls took out their cell phones and called their parents.

After all, it concerns my daughter's future college entrance examination.

Both Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing said, after hearing about this, that they would arrange their schedules and clear the 9th of next month.

Naturally, I agreed to the lunch arrangement immediately.

As for Xu Youyu, Cui Suling originally planned to attend her daughter's parent-teacher meeting herself.

But Xu Rongsheng probably also heard about the college entrance examination reform, so he specifically said that he would come in person to attend the parent-teacher meeting and asked Cui Suling to come to Bi Hai Lan Ting to help cook and so on.

After finishing the conversation, Xu Rongsheng asked, "Is Li Luo next to you?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Xu Youyu asked puzzledly.

"Please turn on the hands-free mode. I want to talk to him."

"Oh." Xu Youyu nodded, turned on the speakerphone, and waved to Li Luo next to him.

Li Luo came over with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong?"

"My dad is looking for you."

"Uncle is looking for me?"

"Li Luo." After hearing Li Luo's voice, Xu Rongsheng on the other end of the phone said with a smile, "How is your novel going recently?"

"Uh..." Hearing this question, Li Luo suddenly had a bad feeling, but he still said, "Not bad."

"It's like this," Xu Rongsheng said, "I recently read through your book, about the first one million words, and made an outline of the paper and some specific ideas."

"I plan to take some time to read it again later, and improve the framework and content of this paper while reading it carefully."

"You are the author of this book, so you should have a more direct feeling about what I wrote."

"So when the parents' meeting comes, I will bring you an essay outline and content framework. You can take a look at it and give your uncle some opinions and suggestions. How about that?"

After hearing what Xu Rongsheng said, Li Luo's face suddenly turned dark.

Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, who were standing nearby, finished their phone calls and heard the noise here, so they came over to listen.

When Ying Chanxi heard what Uncle Xu said, he immediately covered his mouth to hold back his laughter.

Yan Zhusheng stared at Li Luo's dark face intently, finding it very interesting. Suddenly, he wanted to read the paper written by Uncle Xu.

"Uncle Xu, you..." Li Luo didn't know what to say. His face was dark and he dug his toes into the ground. He felt a little suffocated when he thought that after this paper was written, it would be circulated among Xu Rongsheng's students and the like. "It's just an online article. It doesn't have to be included in the paper, right?"

"Why not?" Xu Rongsheng criticized him seriously when he heard him say that. "Li Luo, you have to correct your attitude. As a new type of literature in the Internet age, online literature is likely to become an important research subject for the literature of this era in the future."

"I read your novel. The structure is very interesting. Whether it's the climaxes of the plot that come one after another or the emotional entanglements between the three girls, there are very clear writing techniques in it."

"Among them, some are derived from the methods of traditional novels, but some are contrary to the standards of traditional novels, and all of them are worth studying."

"Of course, if you don't want to express your opinion, I won't force you. I'm just giving you a suggestion."

Having said that, Li Luo couldn't refuse anymore, so he could only nod helplessly: "I understand, then Uncle Xu, bring it to me when the time comes. I'll take a look, but I can't guarantee that I will give you any good suggestions."

"It's okay. After all, you are the author, so you may have some perspectives that can only be discovered from an author's perspective." Xu Rongsheng said, "We'll talk about this in detail later."

"Ok."

Li Luo's mouth twitched. After he finished talking to Xu Rongsheng, the other party finally hung up the phone.

As soon as the call was disconnected, Xu Youyu and Ying Chanxi couldn't help laughing and rolled on the sofa.

Yan Zhusheng couldn't help but ask, "Can I take a look at this paper together?"

"What are you looking at?" Li Luo said with a dark face, "What's so good about it? Aren't novels enough for you to read?"

"I have to see it too." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "My dad is very professional when doing this kind of research. I have to see how he praises you when the time comes."

"You're such a bad-mouthed person." Li Luo glared at her unhappily. "I said at the beginning that your father might use my novel as research material for his thesis, but I didn't expect it to happen."

"Online literature is a new thing after all." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "My dad must be tired of reading those studies on modern and contemporary literature. It's nice to read some online literature occasionally to change things up."

"Then there's no need to choose my book. I just write a pure and enjoyable novel." Li Luo sighed, "I'm going to recommend other online novels to Uncle Xu for research. I don't know if it's too late."

"Haha." Xu Youyu smiled, and approached Li Luo with a dangerous look in his eyes. He asked calmly, "What did you say?"

"Ahem...it's nothing."

After confirming the specific arrangements for the parent-teacher meeting, Xu Youyu went to take a shower first.

Under Ying Chanxi's urging, Li Luo went back to his bedroom to type instead of being pulled into the piano room by Yan Zhusheng to play some strange music.

Finally, Ying Chanxi returned to his bedroom, and Yan Zhusheng walked into the piano room alone and played the piano for a while to relax.

However, just when Li Luo thought that he would spend the night peacefully, in the middle of the night, when he had finished typing and was about to go to bed, he heard faint footsteps outside the house.

Then the door of the room was opened.

Xu Youyu poked his head in and gave a sly smile to Li Luo who had just sat down beside the bed.

"Why are you here?" "Did you forget?" Xu Youyu walked into the bedroom with a smile, closed the door, and wearing her loose white nightgown, she lightly jumped in front of Li Luo, leaned over with her hands behind her back and said, "Didn't you win when you played basketball this morning? I'm here to reward you."

Hearing this, Li Luo immediately became alert and silently moved his buttocks on the bed: "Are you sure it's a reward? I now suspect that you are going to murder me."

"Why would I murder you?" Xu Youyu laughed, then narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Is someone feeling guilty? If you dare to recommend "The Age of Literature and Art" to my dad, I guarantee you'll die in your bed the next day."

"Senior, you're overthinking it. How could that be?" Li Luo looked away a little embarrassedly, obviously feeling a little guilty.

It must be said that this idea had actually occurred to him before, but he was kind-hearted and did not have the courage to put it into practice.

"You'd better." Xu Youyu snorted, then took off his slippers and climbed onto Li Luo's bed.

Seeing this, Li Luo immediately shrank to the head of the bed and asked hurriedly: "Wait, wait a minute...what are you doing?"

"A reward for you." Xu Youyu smiled at him ambiguously, crawled in front of him, put her soft face in front of him, and said with a smile, "Have you thought of something?"

"nothing……"

"Really?" Xu Youyu stretched out a finger, lifted Li Luo's chin, and then moved it down, across his neck and chest, gently tapping on his heart, and said with a teasing look, "Whatever you want in your heart, you can just tell me, and I can satisfy you."

"…I just want to sleep now."

"Really? It's really an embarrassing reward." Xu Youyu smiled and lifted the quilt to cover herself and Li Luo. "I really can't do anything about you, so I have to satisfy you."

"..." Li Luo looked at her lying down like this, and was speechless. "I said I wanted to sleep, I didn't say I wanted you to sleep here too."

"Well, I haven't rewarded you yet, so you can't just leave like this." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "Otherwise, wouldn't I become a person who doesn't keep his word?"

Li Luo looked at her with a headache.

At this time, Xu Youyu was wearing a white nightgown and lying in his bed.

Because he slid into the quilt when he lay down, Xu Youyu's shoulder straps became loose and his chest was propped up high, revealing a beautiful curve.

Li Luo was half lying and half sitting, with a commanding view, able to appreciate the beautiful scenery clearly.

not to mention……

After taking a shower at night, no girl would wear that...

When Li Luo thought of this, his breathing became a little faster. He finally forced himself to look away, but Xu Youyu had already moved to his side and said with a smile: "So what reward do you want?"

"Whatever... Is there anything simpler?"

"A simpler one." Xu Youyu thought about it seriously, then smiled and patted Li Luo's shoulder, "Then let's do a simpler one. You just need to lie down obediently."

"Are you sure?" Li Luo asked suspiciously, "Don't do anything weird to me again."

"Do not worry."

Xu Youyu patted his chest and assured, then he pulled Li Luo to sit up again, and he leaned against the head of the bed, spread his legs, and sat behind Li Luo.

When Li Luo saw this, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

The next second, Xu Youyu was already holding his head with a smile, and leaning him back, with the back of his head gently resting on a soft ball.

"Don't move, dear." Xu Youyu covered Li Luo's eyes with his right hand, "Close your eyes, I'll give you a massage."

As he spoke, Xu Youyu gently pressed his fingers on Li Luo's temples and whispered softly in his ear, "When my dad is tired from work, my mom will give him a massage like this."

"When I grew up, every time I saw my mother giving my father a massage, I would clamor to give him a massage myself."

"Later, I slowly learned a little bit, and now I'm letting you enjoy it."

"Hmm..." Li Luo silently enjoyed the brain pad waves of his senior sister, feeling the familiar massage techniques on his head. In an instant, his memory was pulled back to several years ago in his previous life.

He had enjoyed such treatment several times when he accompanied Xu Youyu on a trip around the country to collect materials.

Although it was not an ambiguous scene like that on the bedroom bed, it was also one of the few stories in his previous life that people could always reminisce about.

He just didn't expect that he would be able to enjoy it again so soon in this life.

For a moment, Li Luo was a little dazed. He was already feeling sleepy, and immersed in this half-asleep and half-awake atmosphere, his nerves slowly relaxed.

"There is Sister Yu..."

"Huh? What did you call me?" Xu Youyu was stunned for a moment, not quite hearing clearly. He immediately moved closer to Li Luo's face and asked softly.

But the next second, Li Luo began to snore softly.

I actually fell asleep because of her.

"You guy...really..." Xu Youyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, then he shook his head and laughed, his expression became gentle.

Her hands moved more and more gently, and her eyes softened as she felt Li Luo's warm body lying in her arms.

After confirming that Li Luo was really asleep, the hands that were supposed to be massaging him unconsciously touched his face, gently stroking his nose and lips, and carefully feeling his eyebrows and forehead.

I have to say, Li Luo looks kind of cute after falling asleep.

As Xu Youyu thought about this, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

As the night deepened outside the window, Xu Youyu held the sleeping Li Luo in his arms, and the moments that had happened in the past year gradually emerged in his mind.

When I first heard that the landlord of the rented house had changed, I was a little worried that the landlord would be difficult to get along with.

When I first met Li Luo, I tasted her cooking and it tasted even better than her mother's.

Then, I discovered clues about someone through QQ and realized that the other person had the same hidden identity as me, and I subconsciously felt a sense of identity.

After that, there were the literary club, student union, sports meet, New Year’s Eve party, various activities, and many things.

Finally, at a symposium during the winter vacation, the two people's identities were exposed to each other, and the gap that had originally existed between them was completely dissipated.

Xu Youyu didn't know why either.

I just feel that Li Luo's personality is very much to my liking.

She once fantasized about what the boy she would like in the future would look like.

After Li Luo appeared, she vaguely felt that this was like a boy tailor-made for her, and she liked him in every way.

Every move he made pleased her to the point of being a little weird.

It was so natural that Xu Youyu didn't mind at all even when he walked into his room in the middle of the night and let him lean on his arms.

On the contrary, I really enjoy the atmosphere of being alone together.

When Li Luo fell asleep due to her massage techniques, Xu Youyu even felt a sense of satisfaction.

Maybe it’s a similar feeling when mom gives dad a massage and sees his happy face.

It's really magical.

Thinking about this, Xu Youyu slowly moved away from behind Li Luo and let him lie steadily on the bed.

However, this noise still woke Li Luo up.

Li Luo opened his eyes reluctantly, glanced at Xu Youyu beside him, rubbed his eyes slightly, and yawned: "Hmm... did I fall asleep just now?"

"Yes, it seems that my massage skills are pretty good?" Xu Youyu said with a smile, "Are you satisfied with this reward, junior?"

"Hmm...very comfortable."

In every sense.

Whether it's physical or mental, or simply the back of your head, each has its own comfort.

"That's good." Xu Youyu nodded, and then deliberately teased, "But you really don't remember what you said when you fell asleep just now?"

"Ah?" Hearing her say this, Li Luo's heart suddenly skipped a beat, "What did I say?"

"You said..." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes and then said, "You said you like Senior the most and you want to lie in Senior's arms forever, without being separated for a moment."

When Li Luo heard this, his face immediately turned black, and he didn't believe it at all: "You are just making it up. How can I speak so clearly when I am asleep? Why don't you make up something more convincing?"

"Eh? Don't you think so?"

"It's okay to fool a kid." Li Luo rubbed his brows and said, "Senior sister, it's getting late. You should go back and rest early."

"Really?" Xu Youyu smiled and lay down, moving closer to Li Luo and blowing warm air softly into his ear, "You really don't want your sister to sleep with you?"

Li Luo: “…No.”

"It's really sad." Xu Youyu got up from the bed with tears in his eyes, sighed softly, put on his slippers, and threw himself into Li Luo's arms, looking up at him, "Then you must dream about me tonight~ Good night~"

Li Luo couldn't stand her continuous attacks any longer, so he nodded quickly and finally sent the senior away.

Watching her leave the bedroom and wink at him ambiguously before closing the door, Li Luo lay on the bed and sighed. He turned his head to look at the empty bed beside him and felt a little unable to sleep.

……

The next morning, Yan Zhusheng got up early, walked into Li Luo's bedroom, and called him to go for a morning run together.

As a result, when I walked into the room, I found that Li Luo was not on the bed, but the sound of faucet came from the bathroom.

Yan Zhusheng came to the bathroom door curiously and saw Li Luo busy in front of the sink, as if he was scrubbing Doraemon.

"Li Luo, what are you doing?"

"No, nothing... I'll be done with washing up soon." Li Luo saw Yan Zhusheng and hurriedly closed the bathroom door, even locking it, "Go wake Xixi up first."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng blinked, feeling puzzled, and turned around to call Ying Chanxi to get up.

Li Luo, who was in the bathroom, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After lowering his head to make sure that Doraemon in his hand was clean, he rubbed his head helplessly, then took the thing, walked out of the room, went to the balcony, and hung it up.

From now on, I really can't let my senior sister come into my room in the middle of the night anymore.

It's really terrible.
