Chapter 291 Senior Sister's Bet
After the basketball game, many people were still reminiscing about the thrilling long-range three-pointer that ended the game.
After comforting the members of his own class, Ying Chanxi finally made some time, trotted to Li Luo, and barely stopped the car.
"Congratulations, you won." Ying Chanxi patted Li Luo's shoulder, and the smile on his face finally didn't need to be concealed, and it bloomed completely in front of Li Luo, "The last ball just now was amazing."
"The ones before are not that impressive?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly.
"That's impressive." Ying Chanxi nodded vigorously, "But how did you practice that? I don't think Liu Shaowen and the others can defend against it."
"Ahem... I picked up a martial arts secret book a while ago, and I've learned a lot recently. This move is just the tip of the iceberg."
"You just keep talking nonsense." Ying Chanxi rolled his eyes at him. "School will be over soon, shall we celebrate?"
"Yes." Li Luo nodded, "Let's call Zhao Rongjun and the others, so we can celebrate our table tennis and badminton champions together."
"Okay, I'll talk to Xinyan."
When Ying Chanxi returned to the stands, the award ceremony began on the court.
First came the two table tennis champions, then badminton, and finally the basketball team of Class 8.
Among them, only the champion will receive a trophy and a certificate provided by the school, while the other top eight contestants will only receive a certificate.
After the award ceremony, everyone left in an orderly manner.
After returning to the classroom, I studied until 5:30 in the evening, and then the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School let out on time.
Ying Chanxi packed his schoolbag and took Qiao Xinyan downstairs to meet up with Li Luo and the others. He curiously went to his desk and looked at the trophies on Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng's desks.
"Can I touch it?" Ying Chanxi asked, pointing at the trophy in front of Li Luo.
"You can touch them as you like." Li Luo said, "But you won't take the trophy and certificate back with you. Will Zhu Sheng take them back with him?"
Yan Zhusheng also shook his head: "Put it in the classroom."
"Then put it on the podium." After taking the trophy back from Ying Chanxi, Li Luo picked up Yan Zhusheng's and put them on the podium together.
Afterwards, the seven-member study group successfully gathered together and walked towards the Bi Hai Lan Ting together.
Because there were still a lot of snacks left from the previous purchase, the seven of them went to the vegetable market together to buy some vegetables and then went back together.
Ying Chanxi decisively grabbed the right to use the apron and followed Li Luo into the kitchen to work, while the other five people played cards in the living room.
While cooking, Ying Chanxi was humming a little tune and was in a very happy mood.
Li Luo glanced at her and couldn't help laughing: "If I didn't know, I would have thought your class won the game. You're so happy."
"Humph." Ying Chanxi pulled his feet out of his slippers and stepped on him. "You idiot, I wouldn't be that happy if Class 1 won."
"Your class lost, but you're happy?"
"Of course it's because you won." Ying Chanxi angrily hit him with her head, "I have to say it myself, you obviously know it! And you deliberately said it to me, just to irritate me, right?"
"Hey, hey, hey." Li Luo quickly washed his hands, wiped them clean, and then held Ying Chanxi's head, laughing and said, "I know, I know, I won't tease you anymore."
Ying Chanxi angrily slapped his hand away, pushed him again, then returned to the chopping board and continued to help him cut vegetables.
Compared to Yan Zhusheng who is so slow even in washing vegetables, and Xu Youyu who can only wash vegetables, Ying Chanxi plays a much greater role in the kitchen.
Especially from last year to now, after the two of them have cooperated more often in the kitchen, Ying Chanxi basically knows his habits of preparing food, and consciously cooperates with him when cutting vegetables.
A table of dishes that usually takes more than two hours to prepare can now be prepared in about an hour and a half with Ying Chanxi's help.
At around seven o'clock in the evening, the two of them brought a table full of sumptuous dishes to the table and invited the five people sitting on the sofa to come and eat.
To celebrate, Xu Youyu dragged out a box of beer from his bedroom and smiled at them.
Ying Chanxi blinked and asked helplessly: "Senior sister, when did you buy all these? How come I never noticed you?"
"I usually buy several boxes during holidays. It's normal that you don't know." Xu Youyu waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Do you want to drink today? Tomorrow is a holiday, why don't we have some?"
At Xu Youyu's enthusiastic invitation, except for Qiao Xinyan who only drank juice, everyone else poured some beer.
At the dinner table, Xu Youyu couldn't help but recommend while eating: "I recently figured out a new way of playing hide-and-seek..."
"Stop!" Li Luo raised his hand to stop her when he heard her say this, "Please be quiet. It's already past eight o'clock after dinner. If you play for a while, Qiao Xinyan and the others will go home. Don't make trouble."
"Tsk." Xu Youyu was a little dissatisfied when Li Luo stopped her. The new version of hide-and-seek failed to come to fruition, so she had to punish Li Luo under the table.
So the next second, Li Luo, who was sitting opposite Xu Youyu, stiffened, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he pursed his lips and suddenly stopped talking.
"What's wrong with you?" Ying Chanxi asked curiously when he saw that he suddenly stopped eating, "Is there a fish bone stuck in your throat?"
"No..." Li Luo forced a smile, then glared at Xu Youyu opposite him implicitly, and lowered his head to eat two mouthfuls of rice.
Feeling the feet drawing circles on his belly, Li Luo took a deep breath. Just as he reached his hand under the table to launch a counter-punishment, Xu Youyu had already retracted his hand nimbly.
As soon as Li Luo raised his hand, she launched another sneak attack, her main strategy being to retreat when the enemy advances and harass when the enemy retreats. She had a deep understanding of the essentials of guerrilla warfare and left Li Luo unable to take care of himself.
But she didn't insist on playing hide-and-seek. If Li Luo didn't want to play, she didn't say anything.
After dinner, it was Ying Chanxi's turn to wash the dishes today, and Qiao Xinyan took the initiative to go into the kitchen to help her best friend.
Li Luo invited the rest of the group to play cards. When passing by Xu Youyu, he warned him in a low voice, "We were almost discovered by Xixi just now. Can't you take it easy?"
"That means we haven't been discovered." Xu Youyu said with a smile, and then leaned close to Li Luo's ear and asked softly, "Also, I seem to have accidentally touched something just now? Did I hurt you?"
After hearing what Xu Youyu said, Li Luo's face suddenly turned red and he stammered and couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Yan Zhusheng at the side immediately asked in confusion: "Li Luo, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, nothing." Li Luo quickly sat on the sofa and took out a deck of playing cards. "Play cards, play cards."
Xu Youyu looked triumphant as if he had returned victoriously. He covered his mouth and smiled as he sat down next to Li Luo. When he saw the reaction on his face, he found it very amusing.
As an experienced driver among male online writers, although she is young, she is well-read, knowledgeable and familiar with various driving skills.
Naturally, they are not very shy about this kind of thing.
Especially towards Li Luo, he had no grudge against him at all. Instead, he could tease Li Luo with a normal expression.
After playing poker for a while in the living room, Ying Chanxi and Qiao Xinyan came out of the kitchen to join the game after washing the dishes.
When it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, Zhao Rongjun and the other two got up, said goodbye and went home.
Xu Youyu had to write at night, so he went back to the bedroom first.
Ying Chanxi went to take a bath first.
So only Yan Zhusheng and Li Luo were left in the living room.
When the sound of dripping water came from the bathroom, Li Luo's eyes met Yan Zhusheng's gaze. As soon as he saw Yan Zhusheng's expression at the moment, he knew what this girl wanted to do.
"Just a moment."
"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded, with a happy look in his eyes. Without waiting for Li Luo to stand up, he crossed his legs, sat on Li Luo's thighs, and hugged him tightly.
"Wait……"
"What are you waiting for?" Yan Zhusheng blinked and asked in confusion.
"I haven't stood up yet."
"It's okay, just sit down."
"but……"
"Li Luo." Yan Zhusheng moved his little butt and blinked his eyes. "You put something in my pocket. Is it a cell phone?"
As he spoke, Yan Zhusheng reached down, trying to knock Li Luo's phone away.
Seeing this, Li Luo quickly held Yan Zhusheng's hand and said seriously, "Don't worry about the phone. It's enough to hold her for a while, right?"
"Well... I haven't congratulated you on winning the championship today."
"You congratulated right after the game ended." Li Luo reminded with narrowed eyes.
"Congratulations on your last buzzer beater." Yan Zhusheng broke away from Li Luo's hand, listened to him and ignored the phone, hugged him again, "That three-pointer was so cool."
"Well..." Li Luo also hugged her back and patted her back gently, "It's okay now."
"and many more."
"What are you waiting for?"
"I'm thinking."
"Thinking about what?"
“Think about what else to celebrate.”
"Alright, alright." Li Luo quickly carried her up from the sofa, then loosened his arms, letting her stand up straight, and pried her hands apart before finally breaking free. "It's time for music class, right? Teacher Yan should teach me piano."
Yan Zhusheng was still a little unsatisfied, but after hearing what Li Luo said, he immediately nodded: "Well, then, classmate Li, follow me."
……
After staying with Yan Zhusheng in the piano room until half past nine, Li Luo estimated that Ying Chanxi had almost finished his bath, so he finished the music class and went back to the bedroom to write.
Yan Zhusheng, who stayed in the living room, waited until Ying Chanxi finished taking a shower, then went into the bathroom obediently to take a shower and prepare for bed.
After taking a shower, Ying Chanxi went straight to Li Luo's room and asked him to blow-dry his hair as usual.
Li Luo held a hair dryer and helped her dry her hair while watching her fiddling with her computer. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you logging into QQ here?"
"Looking for someone." Ying Chanxi looked serious. He clicked on a QQ friend and sent a bunch of messages. Then he saw several videos sent by the other party.
"what is this?"
"The video of your basketball game." Ying Chanxi said, "Students from the photography club are usually responsible for taking photos and videos of school activities. I asked them for the video of today's basketball game. Take a look."
Ying Chanxi pointed to the six or seven videos he received on QQ.
"These are the four competition videos of your four quarters."
"And this is the cheerleading performance before the basketball game."
"This is the video of your award ceremony."
"What about the last one?" Li Luo glanced at the seventh video, which seemed to be only a few seconds long.
"This..." Ying Chanxi pursed her lips and said in a low voice a little embarrassedly, "This is the part where you scored the last goal." "They even cut this out separately?" Li Luo asked in surprise.
I haven't seen anyone from the photography club edit these videos and send them somewhere in the school.
It is possible that it will appear in some schools’ official promotional videos in the future and be used as a promotional background board.
"Hmm..." Ying Chanxi's eyes flickered, and he stammered a little, and answered in a low voice, "She edited it herself... I just asked a classmate from the photography club for a copy."
As they said this, a new video was sent over from the other side.
[The last one is the Li Luo goal collection you asked for. It was just edited. I watched it and found it really handsome. Hehehe]
[Is Li Luo your cousin or your brother? Do you have a girlfriend? If not, can you recommend one?]
Upon seeing this reply, Ying Chanxi's face instantly turned red. She quickly rushed to the computer and covered the screen so that Li Luo could not see it.
But Li Luo was staring at the computer. Although it was only for a moment, his view was blocked by Ying Chanxi. However, with the help of the abnormal memory of the Memory Palace, he was able to easily see what the message sent by the girl opposite was.
"Why are you feeling guilty?" Li Luo laughed, "What did she post?"
"No, nothing... I just sent some private stuff between girls, so it's not convenient for you to see it." Ying Chanxi blushed and argued in a low voice, then continued to block the computer so that Li Luo could not see it.
By the way, he tapped on the keyboard and issued a serious statement to this female classmate.
[Ying Chanxi]: You are not allowed to have any ideas about him. He is still in high school. I promised his parents that I would keep an eye on him and not let his early love affair affect his studies.
[Okay, okay, I was just joking. A handsome guy like Li Luo would definitely not be interested in me. Only a cute and pretty girl like Xixi is worthy of him. It's a pity that you two are relatives.]
[Ying Chanxi]: He’s not as good as you say. This guy has a lot of problems, but you just don’t know them.
[Haha~ I would only say that if you two are close. Oh, by the way, I have a picture to send you.]
As he spoke, another picture was sent over from the other side.
Ying Chanxi clicked on it in confusion and found that it was a side-on photo of Yan Zhusheng holding Li Luo's coat and trotting to congratulate Li Luo after the game.
The angle of the photo was very good. The sunlight from the ceiling of the gymnasium was slanting down and shining on the boy and girl's profiles.
[This photo is the one I am most satisfied with in this show. I give it to you for your appreciation. I think Li Luo and this girl are quite a good match. They are also partners in the rock club, right? You can show it to him.]
[Ying Chanxi]: Oh, thank you.
When Ying Chanxi saw this, his face suddenly darkened. After a simple reply, he clicked the mouse twice and angrily closed QQ.
"Are you done?" Seeing her sitting back in her seat, Li Luo continued to blow her hair.
"Yeah." Ying Chanxi nodded gloomily, then turned his head to look at him guiltily and asked in a low voice, "Did you see anything just now?"
"No." Li Luo shook his head.
He only saw the first two sentences. The following conversation and photos were indeed blocked by Ying Chanxi, so he didn't see anything.
Seeing his answer and reaction, Ying Chanxi felt a little relieved. After Li Luo helped her blow-dry her hair, she obediently got up and gave him her seat, then went back to her bedroom so that Li Luo could write well.
As for Ying Chanxi himself, as soon as he returned to the bedroom, he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone, open QQ, and download and save all the videos in the chat history one by one.
Then she couldn't wait to click on the Li Luo shooting highlights video, hugged the panda doll, squeezed her legs together, and hid in the quilt to savor it carefully.
……
Just as Ying Chanxi returned to his room to review Li Luo's heroic performance on the court today, Xu Youyu, who had just finished typing, stretched in the bedroom. After drinking the beer at hand, he got up and quietly walked towards Li Luo's bedroom.
When the bedroom door behind him was pushed open, Li Luo, who was typing, sighed. There was no need to guess, it must be the senior student who came.
It feels like the three of them have made an appointment now.
After dinner in the evening, first it was time for Yan Zhusheng's music class, then it was time for Ying Chanxi to blow dry her hair after taking a shower, and finally it was time for the senior sister to reward him late at night.
The next morning, it was time for Yan Zhusheng to wake us up again.
They are all more punctual than the other.
Li Luo felt like he was in school and an invisible timetable had been formed.
These three guys really turned a deaf ear to the house-sharing rules he prepared earlier... There was no effect at all, and instead they became more and more aggressive.
"Junior."
After the bedroom door was closed.
Li Luo had just finished writing the paragraph he was writing when he felt someone hugging him from behind.
Two arms as white as lotus roots hugged him from behind his neck, and the hot and itchy air blew on his ears, causing Li Luo to tremble all over.
"Senior... stop making trouble and wait until I finish writing this chapter."
"Why haven't you finished writing today?" Xu Youyu looked puzzled, and then couldn't help complaining, "I already have more than 200,000 words in stock. Can you please stop working so hard? How can a 4,000-word party like me survive like this?"
"I've made an appointment with Aunt Yuan. There will be a whole very important plot later that needs to be promoted. It will be a very big hot spot." Li Luo rubbed his forehead and leaned his head back, and ended up leaning into a soft harbor.
After realizing what it was, Li Luo quickly tried to look up.
But Xu Youyu had already pressed his head back with a smile, and said with a smile: "Okay, I don't mind, it's a good opportunity for you to take a break."
As she spoke, she gently massaged Li Luo's head like she did last time, and asked, "What's the explosive plot? Did you follow Zhu Sheng back to her house to find Aunt Yuan before? Is this related to this?"
"Yeah." Li Luo felt the soft and comfortable touch on his head, slowly closed his eyes, and began to enjoy it. He responded, "Aunt Yuan is a singer, you know that, right?"
"I know."
"Didn't I write a few songs before? I've sold them to Aunt Yuan, and she plans to make them into a new album." Li Luo said this, and then added, "The new album has nine songs, all written by me."
"Ah?" Xu Youyu was stunned for a moment, and his hands paused for a moment. Then he asked in surprise, "I know you can write songs, like the previous song "Annual Rings", but this... a whole album... does Aunt Yuan trust you so much?"
“Can’t it be because my songs are good?”
Although everyone says that the period at the beginning of the century was the golden age of Chinese music.
But we can’t say that all the new songs released after 15 years are rubbish.
After careful selection, there are still many good songs.
It’s just that there is no longer as much flourishing as before, and most of the time we are still bombarded by Tik Tok’s divine songs.
"You're the only weirdo in the entertainment industry." Xu Youyu covered his mouth and chuckled, "You don't even know that many authors of entertainment novels have been complaining about this in the group recently."
"What are you complaining about, me?"
"Although I'm not complaining about you directly, you deserve some credit." Xu Youyu continued with a smile, "Because you wrote two original songs in the book, and the response was quite good."
"Plus, your book has a lot of readers, and most of them are fans of entertainment literature."
“So there are many readers who have read your books and are also reading entertainment written by other authors.”
"As a result, some people complained about their book, saying that the protagonist only knew how to copy songs from real life. Why couldn't they create a few original songs for the protagonist to sing?"
"They recently complained about this in the group, and even joked that Ran Shen had set a bad precedent and raised the bar for them to write about entertainment."
"If you can really write a hit song, who would want to suffer the pain of writing online articles?"
Li Luo twitched his lips. He didn't expect there would be such readers.
But in fact, he had never created any original works. Others could only plagiarize old songs, but he could even plagiarize future songs into his book.
And the key point is that the songs he wrote became popular.
This is the most important thing.
Because for most readers who read entertainment novels, they want to see the protagonists copy those classic works, because there are real achievements behind the classic works to endorse them.
So the author skips the intermediate process of proving that these works can indeed be successful.
Because everyone knows that these works have already been successful once in reality.
Therefore, even if there is an author who can really create an original song, it is useless to write it into a book because there is no actual song performance to endorse it.
Li Luo's move was an accidental success. "Annual Rings" became popular by accident due to the traffic from that bad TV series.
In addition, this song was originally an insignificant side story in his novel and had no impact on the main plot.
This will bring about the subsequent advantages and benefits.
The following entire section of the plot related to Yuan Wanqing's new album is Li Luo's first attempt to write these new songs into the main climax of the plot.
Li Luo was not completely sure in his heart.
But after learning that Yuan Wanqing would be able to perform on the stage of "I Am a Singer", I became a little more confident.
"Come to think of it." Li Luo suddenly thought of something and immediately clicked on Kaidian Chinese website and flipped to the recommended section of [Best Sellers]. One of the books was "Literary Age". "It's recommended. How's the average subscription?"
"It hasn't increased much recently, it's still around 7,000." Xu Youyu leaned over the computer and said, "I don't know when we can get 10,000 orders."
"I remember your birthday is June 6th?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"How about we change the bet and make the previous one void?" Li Luo said with a smile, "If you can get 6 orders before June 8, I win. If you can get orders after that, you win. How about that?"
"Oh?" Xu Youyu raised his eyebrows, "Sure~ But..."
She leaned close to Li Luo's ear and whispered, "What's the bet?"
"Or rather... what does Junior want me to do? Hmm?"
Li Luo was stiff: "I haven't thought about it yet."
"I've already thought about it." Xu Youyu said with a smile.
"So if you win, what do you want me to do?"
"If you don't tell me, I won't tell you either." Xu Youyu snorted, "I'll tell you when I win."
"Why don't you go back to bed? It's getting late, and I still have a few hundred words to write."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Youyu laughed in his ear, "Just now we were talking about the bet of Wan Ding, but I haven't given you the reward for winning the basketball game today."
"Wait... at least wait until I finish writing..."
"It's just a few hundred words. I'll write it tomorrow. Come here, dear."
