Chapter 326 One-day Couple Experience

There are about three or four stations on the high-speed rail line from Yinjiang District to Changning City.

When the high-speed train stopped at the penultimate station, Xu Youyu woke up slowly, raised his head from Li Luo's shoulder, took off the blindfold on his face, and looked around.

When Xu Youyu saw that Li Luo had also fallen asleep, he smiled immediately, moved closer with some curiosity, and took a closer look at Li Luo's sleeping appearance.

Li Luo himself is quite handsome, and in this life he has gained the maturity and stability of an adult, which combined with the boyish look on his face gives him a very unique temperament.

Xu Youyu really likes the way she gets along with Li Luo in daily life. That way of chatting makes her feel very relaxed. She doesn't have to hide her true nature at all and can let herself bloom in front of Li Luo.

She also likes Li Luo's style of doing things and the way he speaks in front of his elders.

Especially when talking about some serious things, Li Luo can always speak eloquently and get to the point, unlike some boys of the same age who are outspoken and boastful, saying things that they think are awesome, but in fact seem childish and ridiculous to others.

She also likes the books written by Li Luo, even though they are also urban harem novels, but Xu Youyu can see the difference between Li Luo and other male authors.

In this age when the great god of river crabs has not yet arrived, the city is filled with all kinds of stud bulldozer male protagonists, and the female protagonists are basically just vases and tools with a label, and it is rare to be able to write the female protagonist with flesh and blood.

Among them, Li Luo is an outlier.

He also likes driving in the book, but it is always very obscure. He also likes to write about harem, and wants the protagonist to have more girlfriends, but he treats every heroine sincerely, and the plot in which they interact with each other can deduce the emotional progression.

Instead of the male protagonist showing off his domineering attitude and acting as a hero to save the beauty, the female protagonist immediately throws herself into his arms and offers herself to him, and then the cycle of pushing women begins again.

As for the heroine who has been overthrown?

Is that the heroine?
But she is just a tool that the male protagonist pulls over when he needs to vent his sexual desires.

Apart from having sex with the male protagonist, there is basically no trace of this person, and she has absolutely no connection with the main plot.

This was partly the reason why Xu Youyu decided to write his own book.

She was fed up with the way heroines were portrayed.

We are all human beings, so can't the heroine also play some normal role in the plot?

Therefore, whether he is writing a book or reading a book, Xu Youyu is very concerned about the role and positioning of the heroine in the book.

For example, in Li Luo's book "I'm Really Not a Star", the three female protagonists are used to lock in the three career lines that the male protagonist wants to develop, and he becomes the man behind the three female protagonists.

Xu Youyu really appreciates this structure and technique, which combines the heroine's own talents and strengths with the resources and works that the protagonist can provide, and then combines the two to achieve an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

At this point, the heroine is no longer just a consumable in a hero-saving-the-beauty plot, but an important character with a clear long-term positioning and who occupies a certain main plot line.

She is a long-term character first, and the protagonist's spouse second.

There is a clear sequence of events here.

Whenever he thought of this, Xu Youyu couldn't help laughing.

Looking at Li Luo who was sleeping soundly beside her, she secretly reached out her hand and gently touched his face a few times, her fingers sliding over it, outlining his nose and eyebrows.

To be honest, when I first read the beginning of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity", because of the mature writing style, Xu Youyu once thought that this was a middle-aged uncle.

But after getting to know Li Luo in depth, Xu Youyu found that it was not strange at all that he could write such a book, but rather quite normal.

Thinking of this, Xu Youyu stroked Li Luo's facial contours and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

But just when she wanted to do something secretly, the high-speed train started again, waking Li Luo up from her sleep.

Feeling the touch on his face, Li Luo opened his eyes dazedly, glanced at Xu Youyu who had just retracted his hand, and subconsciously touched his face: "What are you doing?"

"I didn't do anything." Xu Youyu looked out the window with a little guilt.

Li Luo quickly took out his mobile phone and looked at his face with the camera, looking left and right.

Seeing this, Xu Youyu was speechless and asked, "What are you doing?"

"See if you are messing with me." Li Luo said, "I thought you secretly drew something on my face, luckily you didn't."

"Who do you think I am?" Xu Youyu narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, aren't you that kind of person?" Li Luo laughed, "Maybe you were planning to do something bad just now, but I just happened to wake up."

"You're starting to make false accusations, right?" Xu Youyu snorted, put his hands around Li Luo's neck, and started to launch a shock wave attack on him.

After a struggle, Li Luo finally admitted defeat and raised his hands in surrender, defeated by Xu Youyu's endless attack like waves.

I looked at the time and it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

In about ten minutes, we will reach the high-speed rail station in the center of Changning City.

Li Luo sent a message to the editor to say hello, then suddenly remembered something and looked up Zhao Rongjun's QQ again.

[Li Luo]: So how is today? Are there any three-person study groups?

【Zhao Rongjun】：I am studying...

【Li Luo】：Where?
[Zhao Rongjun]: At Xu Yinghuan’s home.

Seeing this, Li Luo was immediately happy.

[Li Luo]: Just the three of you? Where are Xu Yinghuan's parents?

[Zhao Rongjun]: It seems her parents are not at home... Of course I am not sure, because her house is so big...

【Li Luo】：What do you mean?
[Zhao Rongjun]: There is a villa area a little north of the No. 1 Middle School. Did you know that?
[Li Luo]: I have some impression, you mean?

[Zhao Rongjun]: Her house is right here... There is a small garden at the entrance, and you have to walk a short distance to reach her door. There are four floors in total, and we are in the study on the second floor.

[Li Luo]: Wow, how come we never heard that her family was so rich during our three years in junior high school?

[Zhao Rongjun]: She never mentioned it before! If I hadn’t been to her house, I wouldn’t have known how powerful her family was.

[Li Luo]: So Xu Yinghuan is still a small rich woman?
[Zhao Rongjun]: Why are you saying this?

[Li Luo]: It’s okay, it’s okay. Just keep studying hard. Come on.

After checking on his good brother's condition and seeing that he did not die from a social phobia attack, Li Luo felt a little relieved.

I have to say that the desensitization training over the past year or so has been more or less effective.

If it had been in the past, if Zhao Rongjun had really gone to the girl’s house, he would probably have found an excuse to run away out of shame.

Now I can still stay there and study with two beautiful girls, which is a huge progress.

I can only say it's cause for celebration.

Li Luo smiled and thought that with such training results and progress, it shouldn't be too difficult for Zhao Rongjun to find a girlfriend when he goes to college.

This will also avoid a fate like in my previous life, where I spent hundreds of thousands on a blind date and married a tigress and housekeeper, and then had a bad relationship with her and could only drink with her on weekends to relieve my sorrow.

He often pays for drinking...this guy doesn't even have his salary card in his hand.

Thinking of this, Li Luo shook his head helplessly.

If Zhao Rongjun had a normal and ordinary marriage in his previous life, Li Luo would not bother to meddle in it.

But his marriage in the previous life was so miserable, and he is still my good brother, so he should have a good ending in this life.

Thinking of this, Li Luo laughed and shook his head. As the high-speed train drove into the platform of the high-speed railway station in Changning City, he stood up as the speed of the train slowed down and helped Xu Youyu take down their luggage.

As a result, after dragging the suitcase off the high-speed train, Li Luo was walking in front, and was suddenly followed by Xu Youyu, who hugged his empty hand.

Seeing this, Li Luo was speechless and said, "Senior sister, what are you doing?"

"Xixi will be here tomorrow, right?" Xu Youyu said with a smile, "I won't compete with her for the next two days, but today you are mine. I want to play the one-day couple experience game!"

"What the hell is this..." Li Luo said helplessly, "During the last symposium, wasn't it a one-hour couple experience game?"

"Then the game has to be upgraded." Xu Youyu hugged his arm tightly and said confidently, "If hide-and-seek can be upgraded, why can't the couple game be upgraded?"

"Do you have to play this?"

"Of course." Xu Youyu nodded and said, "This is a rare opportunity to collect materials. I don't even have this opportunity at home."

"Okay." Li Luo sighed, "But we have to make three rules."

"You said."

"When we're around acquaintances, we can still have a normal relationship, okay?" Li Luo said, "When we meet the editor later, let go of your hand. I don't want him to look at me with strange eyes."

"Why is he looking at you strangely?" Xu Youyu asked puzzledly.

"Anyway, just do as you are told. Just play couple games in private and don't expose them."

"Okay, I promise you." Xu Youyu nodded reluctantly.

The main thing is that Li Luo recalled that last year, when editor Qianzhou came to Yinjiang District to find him for the first time, he saw him and Yan Zhusheng coming out of the school together.

I guess he had misunderstood me at that time.

If he saw Xu Youyu hugging his arm again after they met, Li Luo didn't dare to think about what the editor would think of him...

As the crowd walked towards the exit, Li Luo was leaning against Xu Youyu, and his expression was somewhat dazed. He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, when he accompanied Xu Youyu on a national tour, the two of them also walked side by side in the crowd, dragging their luggage like this.

This scene even made him feel as if he was in another world, with a magical feeling of time travel.

But compared to the time when he accompanied Xu Youyu on his nationwide tour, the young Xu Youyu now seemed to be more intimate with him.

The more mature Xu Youyu in his previous life, although very open in attitude and tone, appeared relatively restrained and calm in specific interactions, and was not as enthusiastic as the 17-year-old Xu Youyu.

All I can say is that each has its own flavor.

But Li Luo could never have imagined that after getting to know the mature version of Xu Youyu in his twenties, he would actually have the opportunity to go back in time and get to know the slightly immature Xu Youyu in his teens again.

This makes people feel a little emotional.

"We're almost at the exit." Li Luo said in a low voice.

"Oh, I see." Xu Youyu's hands had already been intertwined with Li Luo's fingers without him realizing it.

After hearing Li Luo's reminder, Xu Youyu gently scratched Li Luo's palm twice with the tip of his index finger, and then, like a kitten that had done something naughty, he let go of his hand with a smile and moved a suitable distance away from Li Luo.

Li Luo felt itchy on his palms when she tickled him, and his heart felt even more itchy. He scratched his palms a few times with his fingertips, and only then did the itchiness ease a little.

After swiping their cards to exit the station, the two began to look around.

"Here, here!" Qianzhou's voice came from the crowd, "Rekindle! Go to bed early!"

"Here we are." Li Luo saw the chubby Qianzhou, waved at him, and walked over with Xu Youyu, "Long time no see."

"Indeed, we haven't seen each other for half a year." Qianzhou saw the two people coming over and greeted them with a smile, then said, "Let's go, I'll take a taxi to take you to the hotel, it's not far from here."

After taking the two people into the taxi, Qianzhou continued in the passenger seat: "You can take care of yourselves at noon. There is also a restaurant in the hotel, but only breakfast is provided every day."

"There will be a meeting jointly held by Wenyue Group and Changning Press and Publication Bureau in the afternoon. It is not part of this salon event, but authors who arrive early can go and sit in if they are interested."

"There is also the participation of Changning Writers Association and Publishing Association, and it is news about the first realistic theme essay solicitation."

"Then there will be an informal salon cocktail party in the evening, in the form of a buffet, in the buffet restaurant on the third floor of the hotel. There will be nothing else to do today."

After listening to him, Li Luo asked curiously, "A realistic essay solicitation? What's the specific situation?"

"It's mainly due to the requirements from above." Qianzhou smiled helplessly, "I always hope that there will be a few decent books published online, so I launched this essay contest."

"But this time the intensity is much greater than your last essay contest on entertainment themes."

"The government attaches great importance to this and will provide corresponding resources for support."

"Qidian will also carve out a reality category from the city and treat it as a new category."

"This time, the essay solicitation is mainly aimed at new books published in the reality category."

Xu Youyu was not interested in this. He quietly reached out his hand, used Li Luo's backpack to block their arms, and then held Li Luo's hand.

Li Luo glanced at Xu Youyu and saw her winking at him with a smile. He had no choice but to accept this reality. While being secretly played with by the senior sister's little hand, he continued to ask: "What's the benefit? This new category probably won't have much reader traffic, right?"

"It's mainly aimed at physical publishing and film and television adaptation." Qianzhou knew nothing about what happened in the back seat, and continued, "To put it simply, if you write well, it will be easier to get recommendations for film and television adaptations, and the official will also strongly support you and give you the green light."

Hearing this, Li Luo also began to think about it, but finally shook his head: "After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. It's too troublesome."

"Your book is gaining momentum right now, and you will also be collaborating on an album there in the future. There's no need to lose sight of the main point and consider this." Qianzhou also said with a smile, "I just want you to go and have a look when you have time and learn more about it. I didn't say you have to participate."

Li Luo and Xu Youyu nodded to show that they understood.

After chatting with Qianzhou in the car, Li Luo quickly found an opportunity to pull his hand back, then took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Ying Chanxi that he had left the station and was heading to the hotel.

Seeing this, Xu Youyu came over immediately and glanced at his chat interface. Although he didn't see the specific content, he knew that he was chatting with Xixi, so he smiled and whispered in Li Luo's ear:

"Little brother, you are my date today. Isn't it a bit wrong to chat with other girls in private like this?"

"The editor is here now, so it's time for a ceasefire." Li Luo said in a low voice.

"Then I don't care. The editor didn't see it." Xu Youyu snorted. "If my girlfriend gets angry and jealous, what should I do as a boyfriend?"

"Leave her alone for a while, so she can calm down?"

"You're quite smart." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes, then was amused by him and almost couldn't hold it back.

I don't know where this guy learned all these nonsense.

Qianzhou, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw the two people behind him whispering to each other, but he didn't pay much attention.

After all, we knew about their real-life relationship during the previous symposium.

In school, they are senior and junior students; at home, they are landlords and tenants; online, they are authors of new online books at the same time.

With this kind of fate, it is not surprising that the relationship is close.

When the taxi arrived at the entrance of Jinjiang Hotel, Qianzhou got off first, helped the two people take out their luggage, and then took them into the hotel.

First, register at the front desk and get a room card, then sign in as a writer at the check-in counter in the lobby set up by Wenyue Group.

Afterwards, Qianzhou took them to the eighth floor of the hotel by elevator.

"8017, 8018..." Xu Youyu muttered these two numbers and soon followed Qianzhou to the doors of the two rooms.

Xu Youyu and Li Luo each took out their room cards, swiped open the door of their room, and put their luggage inside.

Qianzhou glanced at the time, it was half past ten in the morning, so he said, "Then I'll leave first? You can take a break first, have lunch at noon, and go to the essay contest press conference in the afternoon?"

"Okay." Li Luo nodded, then asked, "Editor, would you like to have lunch together?"

"No, you can handle it by yourselves." Qianzhou shook his head, "I'm still at work, I'll go back to the company after I send you off."

"Ah?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was still Friday.

For workers like Qianzhou, today is still a working day. Even for editors, there may not be the concept of weekends. After all, even on weekends there will be a lot of authors looking for them for things.

"Only the editor-in-chief is eligible to attend this salon event." Qianzhou smiled helplessly, "It's only because you two are minors that I can apply to come and guide you. It's just right for us to take a walk and breathe some fresh air."

"Okay, editor, you go back first." Li Luo nodded and said, "I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free in the next two days."

"OK." Qianzhou made a gesture, confirmed that they were fine, and then waved goodbye.

Li Luo and Xu Youyu watched Qianzhou leave, and then they looked at each other at the door of their respective rooms.

The next second, Xu Youyu smiled at him, closed the door of his room, and walked straight towards Li Luo's room.

"Well...why don't you take a nap first? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Li Luo took a half step back and suggested considerately, "Let's go have lunch after you wake up."

"Sure." Xu Youyu came closer, and slowly stroked his chest with both hands, then came to his shoulders, and with a light touch and a push, he pushed Li Luo into the room.

Soon, the door of room 8018 was closed.

Xu Youyu smiled and pushed Li Luo onto the bed, then he lay down on it himself.

Just when Li Luo thought something was going to happen, Xu Youyu opened the quilt, lay down inside, yawned and said, "I'm going to sleep first."

Li Luo was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Xu Youyu.

Xu Youyu also looked at him at this time. Seeing his somewhat surprised eyes and expression, he immediately smiled ambiguously and reached out to touch his chest: "Your heart is beating very fast. What were you thinking about just now? I just listened to you obediently and planned to catch up on some sleep first."

Li Luo helplessly covered his face, took a deep breath, and then got into bed. After exhaling, he said, "Then let's go to bed. I'm a little sleepy too."

This time, Xu Youyu didn't do anything tricky. After all, he didn't sleep well last night.

I only managed less than an hour of sleep on the high-speed train.

Now that she was lying on the soft big bed, she gradually felt sleepy.

As a result, at this moment, Li Luo's cell phone suddenly rang.

Li Luo, who was about to go to sleep, suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and took out his mobile phone.

Looking closely, I found that it was Ying Chanxi calling.

"Hey?"

"Li Luo, have you arrived at the hotel?" Ying Chanxi's puzzled voice came from the other side, "Didn't you just say you were leaving? You should be at the hotel by now, right?"

"Yeah, I just arrived at the hotel." Li Luo nodded, and felt Xu Youyu's soft body suddenly leaning against him, and subconsciously held his breath. "The editor helped me check in a room and registered. I just sent him away, and was about to send you a message."

"Oh, I see." Ying Chanxi nodded. "Auntie Lin is making lunch right now, so she asked me to ask you. Now that she's here, we'll be relieved."

"Well, it's still early. I plan to take a nap first." Li Luo glanced helplessly at Xu Youyu who was leaning in his arms. Seeing her smiling and tapping his chest with her fingers, he couldn't help but sigh.

Ying Chanxi didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Okay, then you should have more rest, and see you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Li Luo put the phone away and said helplessly to Xu Youyu in his arms: "Senior sister, didn't you say you wanted to go to bed?"

"I feel close to Xixi's voice when I hear her voice." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "I suddenly can't sleep."
