Chapter 327 I like it~
After taking a nap, when I woke up again, it was already past noon.

Li Luo woke up slowly, rubbed his eyes, picked up his mobile phone to check the time, and then stretched out in bed.

Turning his head to look at Xu Youyu, who was still sleeping soundly, Li Luo did not disturb her and looked at his mobile phone on the bed.

[Qianzhou]: The press conference for the realism-themed essay contest will be held this afternoon in Conference Room No. 1 on the fourth floor of the hotel. It will start at 2 o'clock. If you are interested, you can go and sit in at any time. Just show the certificate issued when you sign in.

【Rekindle】: Received.

After a brief reply, Li Luo looked at the other messages.

Ying Chanxi had already had lunch with Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong, and was now planning to take a nap.

Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong went out to visit a hot pot restaurant, intending to give some instructions on the work there before traveling.

Later, Li Luo received another message from Zhao Rongjun.

Above is a picture of a dining table with a table full of sumptuous dishes.

There were two bowls of rice on the opposite side, and it seemed that three people had eaten lunch at Xu Yinghuan's house.

[Li Luo]: Are you three having dinner together? Where are her parents?

[Zhao Rongjun]: Her parents are not at home, probably they are working outside. Lunch is made by her nanny.

[Li Luo]: What about a nanny? Is there also a housekeeper?

[Zhao Rongjun]: That’s not the case…

[Li Luo]: Then I suggest you apply for the job, which will immediately put you half a step into the threshold of success.

[Zhao Rongjun]: ...I'll eat first.

After chatting with Zhao Rongjun, Li Luo threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to use the toilet.

When he came out, he found that Xu Youyu had woken up and was looking at him with his eyes open.

"Did I wake you?"

Xu Youyu shook his head, stretched lazily on the bed, and said in a lazy tone: "I've had enough sleep."

"Then get up and go downstairs to have a meal." Li Luo said, "Let's go to the essay contest this afternoon to join in the fun."

"Okay~" Xu Youyu responded, but he didn't mean to get up. After yawning, he stretched out his hands to Li Luo and said sweetly, "Honey~ pick me up."

Li Luo: "...Senior sister, please be more normal."

"This is the normal state when you are in love! Try to get into the role more." Xu Youyu said dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, okay." Li Luo smiled helplessly, walked to the bed, grabbed Xu Youyu's hands, and pulled them up hard.

"I asked you to pick me up, not pull me." Xu Youyu sighed. After being pulled up from the bed, he sat up straight and took the initiative to hug Li Luo's waist beside the bed. "You are so stupid. What will you do if you really find a girlfriend in the future?"

"Then what do you want?" Li Luo rolled his eyes, then simply bent down, lifted the quilt, and picked Xu Youyu up from the bed.

"Ah!" After Xu Youyu was suddenly picked up by him like a princess, she suddenly felt her body floating in the air and quickly put her arms around Li Luo's neck.

After coming back to his senses, Xu Youyu smiled happily, leaned in Li Luo's arms and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, that's it, you are very good at it."

"Senior sister is really hard to please." After Li Luo picked her up from the bed, he put her on the ground and let her stand firmly.

But Xu Youyu sat back on the bed, lifted up his two feet in white socks, and gently rubbed them on Li Luo's knees and thighs: "Husband, help me put on my shoes~"

As she said this, she actually hooked one of Li Luo's legs with her legs and seduced him towards the bed.

Li Luo quickly slapped her away, and felt his ears tingling. His body went limp when Xu Youyu called him "husband".

"Be serious... Ours is a one-day couple experience, not a one-day husband and wife experience." Li Luo squatted down, picked up Xu Youyu's shoes, put them on her, and couldn't help complaining.

"Yes, a couple experience." Xu Youyu nodded and said, "It's common for boyfriends and girlfriends to call each other husband and wife, right? You're obviously writing an urban harem novel, so don't be so ignorant, okay?"

Li Luo: "...Okay, I'm ignorant."

After putting the shoes on Xu Youyu, she finally stopped being so pretentious.

Maybe he was really hungry, so he stood up, hugged Li Luo's arm and walked out of the room.

The two of them took their room cards, went downstairs to the restaurant on the second floor, and ordered a few simple dishes.

As a result, during the meal, Xu Youyu was not content. She would pick up food for Li Luo from time to time, and then ask Li Luo to feed her a bite.

It can be said that Xu Youyu intends to try all the things that a couple can think of.

Li Luo also went from being uncomfortable at first to slowly becoming numb and gradually getting used to this way of getting along.

So when Li Luo stood up after lunch and noticed Xu Youyu walking towards him, he naturally took her hand, which made Xu Youyu, who originally wanted to take the initiative to hold hands, stunned for a moment.

"Junior boy, you learn very quickly." Xu Youyu said with a smile, and then interlocked his fingers with him.

Feeling the entanglement of fingers and the touch of palms, Li Luo pursed his lips and said, "It's all thanks to my good teaching."

Since you can't resist, just enjoy it.

Thinking this way, Li Luo stopped resisting.

The two held hands and came to Conference Room No. 1 on the fourth floor of the hotel.

When I met a familiar author, I silently let go of his hand and said hello to the other person.

Those who are invited to participate in the writers' salon are guaranteed to be Qidian's authors with over 10,000 subscribers, and some are platinum masters.

Although Li Luo is very popular now, he is not too proud and remains very humble when dealing with these seniors.

However, online literature has only been developed for about ten years, and the concept of hierarchy is very weak. No matter whether it is a big writer or a platinum writer, they may have an annual income of tens of millions, and they are all quite approachable offline.

Most of them rose from grassroots, and even those who graduated from prestigious universities basically did not come from wealthy families.

So basically it all comes down to strength.

If the books you write are good and your achievements are impressive, then you are great, and it has nothing to do with when you entered the industry.

If you still act like this after more than ten years in the industry, it would seem that you are not that great.

For someone like Li Luo who has just started writing books for a year and has already made a name for himself, there is a high probability that he will be selected as a top talent at the end of the year. Many people are very enthusiastic when they see him and will not look down on him just because he is a minor.

Especially now that "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" is so popular on channel websites, many people have tasted the flavor.

If Li Luo can keep writing for another one or two years, with this book, and maintain this trend, it is very likely that this book will go platinum in the future.

"Big brother, are you also interested in essays on realistic themes?" Li Luo saw a fantasy master who was quite familiar to him at the previous symposium, and went over to ask curiously.

The other party recognized Li Luo and immediately smiled: "We were just pulled over by the editor to make up the crowd and make the scene look bigger."

Then he pointed at the platinum bosses in the front row and said, "If we sit down, the scene will look good. People will have something to say about it when the report is published. The leaders have successfully completed their tasks. We can also go on a free trip, with flights and hotels all included. Everyone will be happy."

When Li Luo heard this, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Could this salon event be just for the sake of filling up the scene for this press conference?"

"Part of the reason." The other party smiled, "Anyway, since these things have come together, Wenyue has achieved multiple goals at once, which is the best of both worlds."

After briefly understanding the actual situation, Li Luo found a seat and sat down with Xu Youyu.

To be honest, the press conference was pretty boring.

For more than two hours, it was basically just a few leaders speaking politely on the stage.

What about the impact of the development of the Internet on real literature... After more than a decade of development, online literature has become a new way of expression in the new era... We online writers should still pay more attention to the ordinary little things in our real life...

After a long talk, the most crucial point is actually the content and requirements of the essay writing competition mentioned by the vice president of Wenyue Group.

It includes the scope and regulations of participating works, the establishment of actual awards, and the subsequent support and resource allocation corresponding to each level of awards.

The most touching thing is naturally the priority recommendation for film and television adaptations mentioned by the vice president.

After all, in this day and age, anyone who has been involved in the online literature circle knows that subscription fees are just a small part of the income. The real big part is copyright!
Especially for the current male-oriented online literature, the major copyrights are film and television and games.

For any popular online article, the copyright fees for these two items basically start at tens of millions.

The key is that this is not just a number, there are really people willing to pay for it.

At this stage, we are in the golden age of online literature copyright. Various film and television and game companies are spending huge sums of money to purchase various copyrights and hoard them to form their so-called moats.

After a few years, when the capital market woke up and the film and television industry and the game industry experienced a cold winter, this wave of copyright fever for online literature gradually cooled down, and prices gradually fell back to a relatively normal range.

Li Luo didn't encounter this opportunity in his previous life, but he encountered it this time.

However, it is relatively difficult to sell the copyright of entertainment works, and I don’t know whether it is possible to sell them for a good price if some original content is added.

In the afternoon, Li Luo attended the press conference for the realistic essay contest. She was sleepwalking throughout the whole process, playing with her senior's hand under the table. Occasionally, Xu Youyu pulled her hand to touch her thigh.

However, there was a great figure sitting next to him, so Li Luo did not dare to be too presumptuous. After being forced to enjoy himself for a while, he finally waited for the end of the press conference.

Li Luo and Xu Youyu are still working on the book they are currently working on, and it is unlikely that they will write a new book specifically for this kind of writing activity.

Xu Youyu simply didn't have the energy, and Li Luo didn't want to waste the effort.

If he were really asked to write, he could think of some good topics, but the priority recommendation right for film and television copyright alone would not really impress him.

"If you were asked to write this essay, what would you like to write?" After the press conference, on the way to the salon cocktail party, Xu Youyu asked curiously while being held by Li Luo's hand.

"Do you have any ideas, Senior?"

"The idea is nothing." Xu Youyu shook his head. "If you want realism and want to adapt it into a TV series, then you have to stay as close to truth, goodness and beauty as possible. No matter what the process is, in the end you have to praise the image of positive characters and have a good intention... In short..."

"In short, it's not realism." Li Luo laughed.

"Well... you're being too blunt." Xu Youyu smiled helplessly, "I think we can still have the best of both worlds, but it's obviously more difficult and a bit thankless."

"If I were to write it," Li Luo thought casually, "I would probably write something about high school and the college entrance examination. This is the topic that is closest to our current lives, and it resonates with almost all families."

"That's true." Xu Youyu nodded, "Then do you want to write it?"

"No." Li Luo shook his head immediately. "Recently, I've been very tired just preparing for the plot with Aunt Yuan. I don't have time to think about this."

“I make money just to enjoy life better.”

"Now that I'm making a lot of money, it's time to enjoy myself more."

"You are quite clear-headed." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "So after the party, why don't you go out and enjoy yourself with your dear girlfriend?"

"What do you want to enjoy?"

"This place is quite close to the Huangpu River. Let's go to the riverside later?"

"Row."

The two followed the crowd after the press conference and came to the buffet restaurant on the third floor.

It is quite different from the scene many people imagine of people in suits and ties drinking and chatting.

When online writers come to eat at the buffet, they really just come here to eat at the buffet.

Everyone was wearing simpler clothes than Li Luo, and some even came downstairs in the hotel's disposable slippers. No one paid much attention to their image at all.

If someone came in wearing a suit at a time like this, it would seem very different.

Familiar authors gathered together to greet each other, eat and chat, and everyone was very casual.

But it was a cocktail party after all, and most people who came drank some wine. Xu Youyu was a little greedy, so he secretly took two glasses of red wine and handed one to Li Luo.

"What kind of drink is this?"

"Cola."

“Why are there no bubbles?”

"Maybe it's been left for too long and all the air has escaped." Xu Youyu blinked, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then squinted his eyes comfortably.

Li Luo was thirsty at the moment, so he didn't think much about it and just took a big gulp of the drink. By the time he could react, it was too late.

Although he could drink quite a bit, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach after swallowing such a large gulp of wine.

He looked at Xu Youyu speechlessly, and seeing that she was still laughing, Li Luo immediately reached out and tapped her on the forehead: "You're still drinking when you're out, right? What if you get drunk later?"

"I won't get drunk, it's just one glass~" Xu Youyu shook the red wine glass and gently clinked it with Li Luo's glass, "I won't drink too much, just taste it."

Li Luo had no choice but to drink some red wine with her.

After finishing dinner, seeing that it was almost time, the two of them temporarily excused themselves.

As for the other authors, they obviously had private activities scheduled. Li Luo and Xu Youyu, both minors, could not fit into the world of these adults.

Holding hands and walking under the sunset of Changning City, the two people walked towards the river. They didn't have a specific destination, they just went wherever they wanted.

Xu Youyu took him walking on the street, and when he saw any store on the roadside that interested him, he took him in to take a look.

By the time we reached the river, it was already past seven in the evening.

Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu standing by the river with his long hair blown by the wind, and felt a little emotional for a moment.

However, Xu Youyu obviously had no idea what Li Luo was thinking and was just enjoying his time alone.

There happened to be a ticket entrance for a sightseeing ferry by the river. When Xu Youyu saw it, he couldn't wait to pull Li Luo over and bought the last boat ticket for the night.

Following Xu Youyu onto the second-floor deck of the ship, at 7:30 in the evening, the sun had just set below the horizon. In the dim sky, there was still a hint of afterglow from the sunset at the end.

The ship started with a hum and slowly moved along the Huangpu River.

The tall buildings and bright lights along the river are all within sight.

As night falls, these tall buildings light up with colorful lights, illuminating the entire city.

Xu Youyu held onto the railing on the deck, feeling the evening breeze from the river, and didn't feel stuffy at all.

Li Luo stood behind her, unconsciously holding her slender waist, and gently hugged her from behind.

"Guess what I'm thinking?" Xu Youyu turned his head to look at him and laughed.

"Are you thinking about Titanic?" Li Luo smiled, "I feel like we are quite similar now."

"Haha~ How did you know?" A hint of surprise flashed across Xu Youyu's eyes, and then she felt a sense of surprise that it was hard to find a soulmate, but she was lucky enough to have met one. She couldn't help but open her arms and cheer to the wind.

"This can be considered as telepathic communication." Li Luo held her waist steady and let her open her arms to enjoy the moment.

Xu Youyu leaned in his arms, closed his eyes, and suddenly smiled evilly: "But I remember that the male and female protagonists of Titanic, in theory, should be considered to have cheated, right?"

"You're just talking about something irrelevant." Li Luo rolled his eyes. "You've completely ruined the good atmosphere."

"So what do you want to do in such a great atmosphere?" Xu Youyu turned around, put his arms around Li Luo's neck, and looked charming in his eyes.

Li Luo's breathing became a little rapid. He quickly avoided Xu Youyu's teasing gaze and regained some of his rationality.

But the next second, Xu Youyu stood on tiptoe, hooked his neck tightly, and pressed his lips lightly on his face.

This time, Xu Youyu kissed for a long time, and it was no longer short and quick like the previous two times.

When she finished the kiss and her head rested in Li Luo's arms again, Xu Youyu blushed and said softly, "This time it's not thanks or excitement, it's love~"

Li Luo swallowed his saliva, his expression was dazed, and his mind was in a mess.

But the next second, Xu Youyu smiled and joked: "Of course, only couples who like to experience the game can do so."
