Chapter 322: Senior Sister Continues to Cheat
"August 8th", "Changning City", "Travel".

How could Xu Youyu not be familiar with these key words?
The Wenyue Group writers' salon event she is invited to attend next month is held on August 8th to 14th, right?

How come we just happened to bump into each other?

When Xu Youyu thought of this, he was startled, but then he thought, Changning City is such a big place, it shouldn't be such a coincidence that they would run into each other.

After all, their writers' salon activities were all held in hotels, and when Lin Xiuhong and her friends went to Changning for a trip, they should have gone to some tourist attractions or something.

Thinking of this, Xu Youyu breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she thought, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong chose to travel to Changning at this time, so wouldn’t that coincide with Li Luo’s salon time?

"Auntie, how did you decide to go to Changning on the 15th of next month?" Xu Youyu asked curiously, "I remember Li Luo mentioned to me before that he was going to attend a salon event next month?"

"Yes." Lin Xiuhong nodded with a smile, "He also wants to go to Changning. Li Luo said that we can go with him. Xixi and her father will also go. It's a good opportunity to take advantage of the free time during the summer vacation to go on a trip."

"Oh~" Hearing this, Xu Youyu reacted immediately, glanced at Li Luo meaningfully, hummed silently, and finally knew who was behind this.

"Do you want to go fishing?" Lin Xiuhong asked, "I see you stay here every day, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. Your mother is right sometimes. You should go out and move around. Otherwise, you will suffer when you are old and in poor health."

"Well..." Xu Youyu was able to fight back bravely when facing Cui Suling, but he was too embarrassed to fight back when facing Lin Xiuhong's nagging, so he could only nod obediently, "I know, Auntie, but I won't go on the trip, just have fun."

When Ying Chanxi heard the senior sister say she was not going, he felt a little relieved.

Just now when Lin Xiuhong asked Xu Youyu whether he wanted to go, Ying Chanxi was so nervous.

Only at this moment did he slowly loosen his curled toes, and the hand that was holding the chopsticks gradually loosened its grip.

It was not easy to get an opportunity to travel alone with Li Luo like Yan Zhusheng's group trip this time, and Ying Chanxi didn't want to have it ruined like this.

It was just that Lin Xiuhong took the initiative to invite her, so Ying Chanxi couldn't stop her.

Fortunately, Xu Youyu was lazy enough and directly refused, which made Ying Chanxi feel relieved and thankful.

"What about Zhu Sheng?" Lin Xiuhong asked again.

At this moment, Ying Chanxi's heart, which had originally settled down, suddenly rose to his throat again, and he subconsciously looked towards Yan Zhusheng beside him.

Fortunately, Yan Zhusheng was also beyond Ying Chanxi's expectations, and actually shook his head: "I should go to accompany my mother."

"Hmm?" When Li Guohong heard about Yuan Wanqing's matter, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What happened to your mother?"

"My mother will go to Hu Lan's place to record the sixth episode of I Am a Singer on the 14th of next month." Yan Zhusheng said, "I have made an appointment with her to go and watch and cheer her on."

"Oh, there is this thing." Li Guohong nodded suddenly, "As for the singer program, I remember that except for the finals, the other programs are indeed recorded in advance. So, in this case, we can know the results of this episode in advance?"

Speaking of this, Li Guohong suddenly became excited.

"Yes." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "Uncle, do you want to know in advance?"

"Forget it then." Li Guohong thought about it and shook his head. "After knowing the result, watching the show will be meaningless. I'd better watch it myself when the time comes."

"The show that Aunt Yuan appeared on." Li Luo thought for a moment, "If I remember correctly, it should be broadcast on August 8st, right?"

"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded.

"That means there is still more than a month left." Li Luo calculated for a moment and then smiled.

He now has 30 words of manuscripts in reserve, and the actual plot has already been written to the point where Mo Qinghan takes the stage as a singer.

However, the actual broadcast time of "I Am a Singer" will start on August 8 when Yuan Wanqing will appear on the stage in the sixth episode. If all goes well, it will proceed to the finals on October 21.

It lasts for one and a half months.

If he wants to make it just enough time for the weekly performances on stage, and coordinate well both inside and outside the book, it will be a great test of Li Luo's ability to arrange the plot.

After all, in reality one has to wait a week before singing a song, which means that with Li Luo's current update of about 6,000 words a day, every time Mo Qinghan sings a song, he has to prepare at least 30,000 to 40,000 words of transitional content.

On the one hand, the story can be interspersed with the advancement of the other main plots, and on the other hand, more sweet interactions between the protagonist and Mo Qinghan can be written.

You can even use this as a prelude to the scandal between the two, and bring Mo Qinghan's mother out to strengthen her character image.

In short, as long as you are willing to think, there are always more solutions than problems.

"Speaking of that great appointment of yours," Lin Xiuhong suddenly thought of this matter again, "Should we find a lawyer to take us with us when the time comes?"

"Oh, this one." Li Luo nodded, "I know, I will find it."

"Do you want to find a lawyer to help you negotiate the contract with the big boss?" Xu Youyu asked curiously.

"Yes, some terms can be negotiated based on demand."

"Then you can ask my dad." Xu Youyu said.

"Isn't uncle a professor of literature?" Li Luo asked in surprise, "He also knows law?"

"That's definitely not the case." Xu Youyu laughed and shook his head, then said, "But he is a professor at Qianjiang University after all. He must know professors at the law school. There are not too many famous lawyers who graduated from Qianjiang University. Just let my dad recommend a few to you."

"That's true." Li Luo nodded suddenly, "Then I'll find some time to ask uncle?"

"Leave it to me." Xu Youyu patted his chest and said, "I'll ask for you."

"Row."

Chatting while eating.

After dinner, it was Xu Youyu's turn to wash the dishes.

After dinner, Xu Youyu stood up consciously and helped Lin Xiuhong clear the table.

Originally, the other two also wanted to help, but they were driven away by Xu Youyu, who asked them to go aside and rest.

As for Li Luo, he returned to his bedroom after dinner, opened the typing software, found the editor's QQ, and sent a message.

[Rekindle]: There is something I seem to have forgotten to tell you before.

[Rekindle]: Do you still remember Yuan Wanqing, the one who did the joint cooperation last time?

[Qianzhou]: I remember, what’s wrong?
[Rekindle]: She will be on the singer's challenge stage next month, the one called "I Am a Singer". You know this show, right?

[Qianzhou]: I know, but what does this have to do with us?

[Reignite]: Yuan Wanqing is performing new songs from her new album on stage this time. All her songs were written by me. Do you understand what I mean?

【Qianzhou】: What the hell?!

[Qianzhou]: No...Brother, please let me take my time. I just finished my meal and haven’t had time to digest it yet.

[Rekindle]: To put it simply, do you still remember the last "Annual Rings"?

[Reignite]: This new album has a total of nine songs, all of which were written by me. When the time comes, they will be based on the plot of my book and will be sung on stage by my heroine.

[Rekindle]: In reality, these songs will be released as songs from Yuan Wanqing's new album and will debut on the stage of "I Am a Singer".

[Rekindle]: If it is handled properly, there will be a linkage between the book and outside the book, and the effect should be very good.

[Rekindle]: I just want to ask, similar to the last joint interview activity with "Annual Rings", are Wenyue still interested?
After reading the message sent by Li Luo, Qianzhou fell silent for a moment.

Then he immediately said.

[Qianzhou]: I will talk to the Propaganda Department when I go to work tomorrow. The last collaboration effect was so good, I don’t think they will refuse.

[Rekindle]: Okay, then please give me the news as soon as possible. If possible, we can find a time this month for the three parties to sit down and discuss the specific details of the cooperation.

[Qianzhou]: No problem!
[Rekindle]: There is another thing. Since you have time to talk about cooperation, can you ask the copyright department if you want to take the opportunity to chat with my great writer in advance?
[Qianzhou]: Sure, that’s no problem. I’ll just tell the editor-in-chief and the copyright department.

After discussing this, Li Luo ended his conversation with the editor and officially started typing.

After finishing typing late at night, Li Luo took a shower and prepared to go to bed.

His bedroom door was pushed open by someone.

Li Luo glanced at Xu Youyu who sneaked into the room and couldn't help but sigh: "Senior sister, why do you always like to come to me at this time?"

"I have to write some words too, okay?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes. "I'll have time to come find you after I finish writing."

"Then you might as well go to bed right after you finish typing. Go to bed early and get up early, and you can go jogging with us in the morning."

"Haha." Xu Youyu sneered twice, then threw himself on the bed, sat directly on Li Luo's stomach, grabbed Li Luo's neck with both hands, and said viciously, "Don't change the subject, I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

"No...what are you settling?" Li Luo asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"How dare you ask?" Xu Youyu gritted his teeth and said, "It was obviously the two of us who went to the salon, why did you invite Xixi and uncle and auntie along?"

"We only brought Zhusheng with us on the group trip. Xixi always makes a fuss, so we just let her go on the trip with us."

"Then you haven't thought about me?" Xu Youyu said unhappily, "If they find out that I'm here when they go there, how am I going to explain it? If my true identity is exposed in the end, I'll just kill you!"

"You are so cruel, Senior." Li Luo pulled her hands apart and then consoled her, "Don't worry, I will ask them to book another hotel and they will not stay with us."

"Except for attending the salon, you probably stay in your room the rest of the time."

"If you're careful, you won't be discovered."

"Oh, that sounds nice." Xu Youyu snorted, "But this still increases the risk of my identity being exposed. So, how are you going to compensate me?"

"Well... then I'll do it reluctantly and kiss you as compensation." Li Luo sighed and said as if he was at a disadvantage.

"Damn it! How dare you say that?" Xu Youyu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

"Didn't senior kiss me before?"

"Can this be the same?"

"You are discriminating." Li Luo laughed, "If a girl kisses a boy, it can be rewarded and thanked, but if a boy kisses a girl, it can't be counted?"

"What you said makes sense." Xu Youyu sneered twice, then rolled her eyes, her look became charming again, leaned over and put her face in front of Li Luo, and said with a smile, "Since you said so, then kiss me, let me feel what your compensation feels like."

Seeing Xu Youyu's fair and tender face so close to him, Li Luo was suddenly confused. He was just joking, but the senior sister was serious?

"Why don't we just forget it?" Li Luo swallowed his saliva, "Should we try another way?"

"Why are you so slow?" Xu Youyu laughed, "It's just right for me to pick a material. A kiss won't make me lose any meat. Why do you look more scared than me?"

Feeling the real weight of her sitting on him, the faint fragrance lingering between his mouth and nose, and the strands of her hair that accidentally fell on his face, all made Li Luo's breathing quicken.

Li Luo raised one of his hands and gently stroked Xu Youyu's face. Feeling the touch of his fingers, Li Luo took a deep breath slowly. Finally, he couldn't help it. He raised his head slightly and touched her face.

Different from Xu Youyu’s previous surprise attack.

This time, both of them were fully prepared mentally.

So much so that at the moment of the kiss, Xu Youyu felt as if an electric current was surging and his body was trembling slightly.

However, Li Luo was still restrained enough. He just kissed her lightly like a dragonfly touching the water, then immediately pulled back.

Xu Youyu turned his head and looked into his eyes, his eyes seemed to be entangled and entangled with thousands of emotions.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, their breathing becoming a little rapid.

Xu Youyu supported himself on the bed with both hands, his fingers clenched subconsciously, and then he said softly: "I said I was collecting materials, and you just kissed me once, and I didn't have time to feel anything."

"So, what do you want to do?"

"Try again?" Xu Youyu's cheeks were slightly red. She turned her face slightly to the side and leaned closer to Li Luo and said, "I haven't had time to react yet. Can you at least... kiss me a little longer?"

Faced with such temptation, Li Luo really couldn't bear it anymore. He touched the other side of the senior sister's face again, pressed down gently, then raised his head and kissed her again.

This time, it took a little longer.

It was so long that in just a few seconds, it seemed as if one second was a century.

And during this kiss, both of them unconsciously enjoyed the caress between lips and skin.

So much so that neither Xu Youyu nor Li Luo realized that her face slowly turned back and Li Luo gradually kissed the corner of her lips.

But at this moment, Xu Youyu finally woke up, suddenly raised his face, stretched out his fingers to block Li Luo's mouth, and said with a red face and a smile: "What do you want to do? I kissed my face, don't you want to let go of my mouth?"

Li Luo came back to his senses at this time, his eyes were still a little dazed, he just felt that Xu Youyu's smile was particularly beautiful at this time, and his mind was a little unclear.

Seeing his cute reaction, Xu Youyu couldn't help but continue teasing him. He fiddled with his rosy lips with his other hand, leaned over and said, "Actually... if you really want to give it a try, it's not impossible, right?"

"Senior sister..." Li Luo only felt his lips and tongue were dry at this moment. The lips in front of him seemed like an alluring spring. If he got close to it, he would be moisturized.

But the next second, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

It suddenly awakened the two people from the ambiguous atmosphere.

Xu Youyu turned over and got off Li Luo, quickly put on his slippers, and tidied his pajamas and hair.

Outside the door, Yan Zhusheng's voice was heard: "Li Luo, I'm coming in."

As she said that, she pushed open the bedroom door.

When she saw Xu Youyu standing by the bed and Li Luo lying on the bed, she was stunned for a moment: "Senior is here too?"

"Yeah." Xu Youyu tucked the hair by her ears, then walked out of the bedroom and said with a smile, "I asked him to help me find a lawyer. I'm going back to sleep first."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded, watched Xu Youyu leave the room, and then closed the bedroom door.

At this time, Li Luo on the bed had regained his sanity. He sat up from the bed and asked Yan Zhusheng, "What's the matter?"

"Hmm..." Yan Zhusheng walked to the bed, took off his slippers naturally, and climbed onto Li Luo's bed. "I want to ask you something. You are going to Changning to attend a salon event next month. Do you know which hotel you are staying in?"

"You can ask, but can you please not climb up?" Li Luo said helplessly.

"Did senior sister climb just now?" Yan Zhusheng asked with his head tilted.

As soon as these words came out, Li Luo was choked.

Yan Zhusheng had already reached out to his pillow, picked up a strand of hair and said, "It belongs to my senior."

As she spoke, she had already climbed onto Li Luo and continued to ask, "So have you booked a hotel?"

"As for the salon event..." Li Luo sighed as if resigned to his fate, and then said, "It's booked at the Changning Jinjiang Hotel, but why are you asking this?"

"I want to go too." Yan Zhusheng said without any concealment.

"No... that's not what you said at the dinner table just now." Li Luo asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going to accompany your mother to participate in the show?"

"Yes." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "But the recording of the program is on the 14th, and my mother will also fly to Changning to participate in an event in the next two days, and I will go with her."

Li Luo: “?”

"Changning Jinjiang Hotel." Yan Zhusheng muttered twice, wrote it down, and nodded, "I'll ask my mother's assistant to book a room here when the time comes."

Li Luo: "...I think it would be better if you booked somewhere else nearby?"

"Is there any difference?" Yan Zhusheng asked doubtfully, "Is your website reserved?"

"That doesn't mean..."

It's a five-star hotel, and it's just a small salon event for Wenyue Group. How could they book out the entire hotel?

"Then it's settled." Yan Zhusheng nodded happily, "Don't worry, I'll come to play with you at night, and you can just play with Xixi at other times."

After saying that, Yan Zhusheng got off Li Luo obediently, without giving Li Luo a chance to refuse, and walked out of the room in her slippers. Before leaving, she waved to him considerately: "Good night."

……

The next day, Monday, the seven-member study group gathered again and continued to advance their summer study plan in an orderly manner.

Editor Qianzhou also sent a message saying that the Propaganda Department was very interested in this type of content linkage and planned to discuss it in detail with Li Luo and Yuan Wanqing.

After Li Luo told Yuan Wanqing about this, Ying Zhicheng also received the news and said that they could set a time to discuss it in detail.

Xu Youyu told Xu Rongsheng about the contract agreement with Li Luo.

So, with the help of Xu Rongsheng, a professor from the law school recommended to Li Luo a lawyer who was more professional in writers' copyright contracts.

Subsequently, the tripartite meeting was scheduled for early August.

However, at the end of July, Li Guohong was the first to receive good news.

"The storefront of that hot pot restaurant has been confirmed to be available for sale." At noon on the weekend, Li Guohong said to Li Luo at the dinner table.

Recently, because he often has to go to Qianjiang University West Street, Li Guohong basically eats at Bihai Lanting.

Now that the result was finally out, he immediately reported the situation to his son.

Li Luo raised his eyebrows, then smiled, "Has the contract been signed?"

"It's already been signed. We just have to wait for the loan to be approved." Li Guohong took two bites of rice and continued, "The price is a bit cheaper than before."

"Because there was a hot pot restaurant open, we could charge a little more."

"Now that the hotpot restaurant has closed down, there are not many people coming to inquire about renting a house, so I bargained a little bit."

"But the landlord bought it when the price was 7,000 to 8,000 yuan per square meter, so he made a profit anyway. The contract was signed quite quickly."

"That's good." Li Luo nodded, feeling very satisfied.

You know, on West Street, the hot pot restaurant with the best geographical location in the future, apart from Lin Xiufeng's milk tea shop next to the west gate of Qianjiang University, is this hot pot restaurant next to the future subway entrance.

Together with a fruit shop in the middle, with these three storefronts in hand, once the subway is opened in the future, the Li family's assets will usher in another wave of crazy growth.

However, for Li Luo today, he does not necessarily have to sell the store in exchange for cash flow after the price of the store goes up in the future.

Anyway, after the success of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity", he was not really short of money. After buying the store, it was not a problem for him to just leave it there.

Thinking of this, Li Luo said, "Dad, if you have nothing to do, why don't you buy that hot pot restaurant as well."

"Huh? What does that mean? Hasn't the house already been bought?"

"I mean, the hot pot restaurant itself." Li Luo emphasized, "Didn't the owner of that hot pot restaurant decide not to renew the lease? Doesn't he have to sell the things in the restaurant to raise funds? Then why don't we just buy it?"

"Is this possible?" Li Guohong frowned. "They gave up the lease because they were not making any money."

"That's because the rent is expensive." Li Luo reminded, "If the hot pot restaurant owner doesn't have to pay rent, do you think he can make money? At least he can make a small profit."

"And just because we don't make money now doesn't mean we won't make money in the future."

"Once the subway is opened, maybe the flow of people will increase in the future."

"Dad, you don't have much to do right now, so it's okay to open a hot pot restaurant for fun."

"You don't have to cook for yourself, just take a walk every day when you have nothing to do, and leave the rest to the employees."

After hearing what Li Luo said, Li Guohong was somewhat tempted.

After all, these days, apart from enjoying the air-conditioning in the office with Lin Xiuhong every day, he would go to West Street to negotiate the housing price contract.

Now that the housing price contract has been negotiated, I have some free time.

Lin Xiuhong can still come here to cook and find something to do.

Li Guohong was very bored being alone.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "That's great. I'll go over there this afternoon to take a look."

"I'll go with you," Li Luo said, "It's a good opportunity to see how my uncle's milk tea shop is doing."
