Chapter 340 Can it be just the two of us?

Seeing Yan Zhusheng in front of him with an expression as if she had succeeded in her evil plan but was pretending to be serious, Li Luo couldn't help but pinch her face.

"You have more little thoughts than hairs on your head now."

"No way." Yan Zhusheng was pinched on the face by him, and she immediately looked up at him, allowing him to pinch her.

"Even if we want to exchange, I just touched it and showed you one chapter at most." Li Luo laughed, "You want to exchange my hundreds of thousands of words for just touching it? It's a bit unreasonable."

"Really?" Yan Zhusheng tilted his head, and after Li Luo let go of his face, he lay down on his bed, stretched out his long legs, and said to Li Luo, "Then I'll sleep here with you today, and you can touch me while I watch, okay?"

Li Luo: "...I'm surprised you came up with this idea."

"I think it's okay." Yan Zhusheng blinked, "Maybe after a good night's sleep, you'll owe me hundreds of thousands of words."

"You are really calculating." Li Luo rolled his eyes. "Alright, alright, I still have to write. Don't bother me. Go back and have a rest."

That’s what I was saying.

There was a knock on Li Luo's door.

Then Ying Chanxi pushed the door open. When she was wiping her hair with a towel and saw Yan Zhusheng lying on the bed, her eyes immediately narrowed.

"Zhu Sheng is here too?" Ying Chanxi sat down on Li Luo's chair calmly, shook his head, let his wet long hair fall down, and then asked casually, "What are you doing here?"

"Li Luo said he wanted to touch my legs." Yan Zhusheng confessed honestly, "So I lay down."

"......?" Li Luo's face was immediately filled with black lines when he heard this, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't ask to touch you, you insisted on asking me for the later manuscripts."

Ying Chanxi's expression changed slightly, but then immediately returned to normal.

She knew Li Luo very well, and there was no way she would take the initiative to say something like touching his legs.

Besides...if you really want to touch it, you can find her...

When Ying Chanxi thought of this, he blushed slightly, and then whispered: "Zhu Sheng, don't joke, Li Luo, help me blow my hair."

"Coming." Li Luo responded.

Before he could pick up the hair dryer on the table, Yan Zhusheng rolled over and got out of bed, snatched the hair dryer, and said to Li Luo: "Didn't you say you wanted to write? Let me help Xixi blow dry the hair."

As he spoke, Yan Zhusheng patted Ying Chanxi's shoulder again and said, "Xixi, you don't want to delay Li Luo's work, do you?"

Ying Chanxi originally didn't want Yan Zhusheng to blow, but after hearing what she said, Ying Chanxi pursed his lips, then stood up from Li Luo's chair and sat down on the bedside with a bit of gloom: "...Then I'll trouble Zhusheng."

Seeing her sitting on the bed, Yan Zhusheng climbed back onto the bed without hesitation, knelt on Li Luo's bed and came to Ying Chanxi's back, then handed the plug to Li Luo: "Li Luo, plug it in, I'll blow Xixi."

"Okay." Li Luo plugged in the hair dryer and sat in front of the computer. "You guys blow dry your hair while I write first."

The sound of a hair dryer buzzing could be heard in the bedroom, but with the memory palace in hand, Li Luo was not affected by the hair dryer at all, and could even play music in his head.

About ten minutes later, after Yan Zhusheng helped Ying Chanxi blow dry her hair, both of them had nothing to do for a while, but neither of them had any intention of leaving Li Luo's bedroom.

So after the sound of the hair dryer stopped for a while, Li Luo immediately turned his head to look at the two people on the bed, and saw that these two guys were lying on the bed and refused to leave...

"Can't you two just go back to your bedrooms?"

"I don't feel very sleepy." Ying Chanxi whispered, "I'll stay for a while, and leave when I feel sleepy."

"Me too." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "There are some manuscripts saved, I want to read them."

"No."

"Xixi must want to watch it too, right?" Yan Zhusheng approached Xixi and encouraged her, "I've already laid the groundwork for the filming with Shen Dongdong, so I'm sure I'll write about it later. I can't just keep writing about the variety show 'I Am a Singer', otherwise the plot won't be delayed until next Friday."

After being reminded by Yan Zhusheng, Ying Chanxi also reacted and became interested. He stretched out his hand to Li Luo and said, "I want to see the manuscript too."

Li Luo: "...You two have also learned how to form alliances, right?"

"Li Luo said before that if you want to read the manuscript, you have to let him touch your legs for a whole night." Yan Zhusheng whispered in Ying Chanxi's ear, "Let's each let him touch one side, and we can read the manuscript together, okay?"

"This, this... Zhusheng, how could you agree to such a thing!" Ying Chanxi was not as open-minded as Yan Zhusheng. When she heard such a condition, her face immediately turned red with shame and she couldn't help but said coquettishly, "Li Luo, you are a pervert!"

It would be fine if I just let him touch my legs, but why do I have to touch them all night?
Who can bear this?

What’s more, Zhu Sheng and I were touched together... How could this be allowed!

At least I have to wait until Zhu Sheng returns to the room before I can do it secretly...

"Don't listen to her nonsense, okay?" Li Luo rolled his eyes. "If you make any more noise, I'll throw you all out."

"There's no harm in taking a look at the saved drafts." Ying Chanxi muttered softly.

"The main thing is that it's useless for you to watch it now." Li Luo said helplessly, "Because after Aunt Yuan's "Hollow" is broadcast this time, there will definitely be various public opinions in the future."

"Although I also made some guesses when I was writing, after this time, I will definitely adjust the specific content slightly according to the actual trend of public opinion."

"So even if you look at it now, there will still be some differences when the official version comes out."

Seeing that Li Luo had said this, Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi stopped making trouble.

Just as it was almost dawn, when Li Luo was thinking about how to invite the two girls on the bed back to their respective rooms, his door was knocked again.

Xu Youyu pushed open the door and poked his head in with a smile on his face, but when he saw the two girls lying on the bed, his face froze, and then he restrained his expression, coughed and said, "Xixi and Zhusheng are here too?"

"Is there anything I can do for you, senior sister?" When Ying Chanxi saw Xu Youyu, he had originally planned to go back to his room to sleep, but now he wanted to stay.

Yan Zhusheng was similar. She tilted her head and looked at Xu Youyu, curious about what she wanted to see Li Luo in the middle of the night.

"Ahem..." Xu Youyu silently put the two empty wine glasses in his hands behind his back, rolled his eyes, and his gaze fell on Yan Zhusheng. Then he said at the door, "I just remembered that Zhusheng's birthday is in two or three days. I wanted to ask Li Luo what gift he prepared. I plan to take a look at it."

"Oh, right." Ying Chanxi on the bed suddenly reacted and turned to look at Yan Zhusheng beside him, "When is your birthday? The 24th?"

"Yes." Yan Zhusheng nodded gently, "August 8th."

"Oh, it's a good thing that senior reminded me, otherwise I almost forgot to prepare a gift." When Ying Chanxi thought of this, he immediately started thinking about what gift to buy for Yan Zhusheng.

Li Luo, who was typing, nodded and said, "I have prepared the gift."

"What have you prepared?" Xu Youyu asked curiously.

"The real owner is right here. If I tell you, there won't be any surprises." Li Luo rolled his eyes and said, "You can go there to buy whatever you want."

"What do you think Zhusheng will come up with?" Xu Youyu asked Yan Zhusheng on the bed with a smile, "How about we play another thrilling game of Monopoly?"

Li Luo: "...Can we try something different?"

"Sure." Xu Youyu nodded and said, "I have made some improvements to Monopoly. I promise there will be new tricks."

"I'm talking about other things besides Monopoly." Li Luo frowned, "Why are you so passionate about your Monopoly?"

"Then we can play hide and seek." Xu Youyu recommended enthusiastically, "We haven't played the new version of hide and seek yet!"

"Forget it, you better stop talking." Li Luo sighed, "How to arrange the birthday at that time is up to Zhu Sheng himself, don't interfere."

"Tsk." Xu Youyu pouted and prepared to go back to his room. But before leaving, he did not forget to tempt the birthday boy who would come in a few days, "Zhu Sheng, please think about it~"

After watching Xu Youyu leave, Li Luo sent Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng back to their rooms.

However, when Yan Zhusheng was pushed into his bedroom by Li Luo, he turned to Li Luo and asked, "Will everyone come on your birthday?"

"Of course." Li Luo nodded and said, "I'll buy you a birthday cake then. We'll find something fun to do during the day and celebrate for you in the evening."

"But my birthday is on Monday." Yan Zhusheng reminded, "Xixi and the others have to go to school in the afternoon, right?"

"That's true. We can definitely get together in the evening anyway."

"If that's the case." Yan Zhusheng poked his belly and whispered, "Can it be just the two of us during the day?"

"Ok?"

"Just... as long as you accompany me, no one else." Yan Zhusheng blinked and looked at Li Luo expectantly, "Just consider it an early birthday wish."

"Just during the day?"

"Well, during the day." "What do you want to do then?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Yan Zhusheng shook his head, "Just do whatever I think of when the time comes."

"You're the birthday girl." Li Luo touched her head and smiled helplessly, "I'll do whatever you say."

……

Late at night on August 8, Li Luo and the other three had already returned to their rooms to sleep.

But for many night owls, the discussion about this episode of "I Am a Singer" has gradually reached a higher peak.

Yesterday, the series of causes and consequences of Yuan Wanqing's retirement and comeback now were all on the hot search in the form of interview transcripts.

After the show was broadcast tonight, topics such as "Yuan Wanqing's "Hollow"", "I Am a Singer Yuan Wanqing First Place", and "Yuan Wanqing's new album pre-sale" also successively appeared on the hot search list.

The traffic on Weibo suddenly shifted to Yuan Wanqing.

Of course, Huayue Film and Television, led by Ying Zhicheng, has been silently working behind the scenes, but the subsequent stabilization of this wave of popularity is also closely related to Yuan Wanqing's own perfect performance.

At night at Yuan Wanqing's house, Ying Zhicheng was lying on the bed with his arms around her, and the two of them were scrolling through messages on their phones.

On Yuan Wanqing's side, many friends in the industry, including her best friend Luo Fei, sent congratulatory messages.

Ying Zhicheng has been receiving various information from the company, judging and analyzing the current trend of public opinion, and then implementing subsequent plans steadily.

For example, he is behind several trending searches this time, and he is trying to maximize the exposure by relying on the popularity of this challenge.

"Don't be too stressed." Yuan Wanqing glanced at Ying Zhicheng's subconsciously frowned brows, and reached out to help him smooth them down. Then she said softly, "It's still early before the appointed time, isn't it?"

"It's said to be five years, but we didn't achieve any great results in the first three years. The board of directors has already complained about it." Ying Zhicheng said helplessly, "This time, thanks to your achievements, I can give you some explanation."

"But the company still has to develop in the direction of TV dramas. If we can't make this business, it will be easy for people to bring it up later."

"Originally, I wanted to find a few young actors to open up the market, but now it seems that I took it for granted. The data indicators of the TV series are not very good."

"The board of directors has its own information channels, and there is no way to fool around with them. If I don't hurry up and make achievements, I will probably be fired."

"Don't be impatient." Yuan Wanqing couldn't come up with any good ideas, so she could only say, "Anyway, the effect of this challenge was very good. I think Li Luo's subsequent songs will also have a chance to achieve similar results as today."

"You said that a talent like Li Luo can write successful online articles and also write hit songs."

"Didn't you say before that he was planning to write realistic novels that could be easily adapted into movies and TV shows? Maybe that will be your next opportunity."

After hearing what Yuan Wanqing said, Ying Zhicheng smiled helplessly: "I can't put all my hopes on this guy Li Luo, right?"

"You don't have to believe it completely, but how about at least believing it once?" Yuan Wanqing covered her mouth and chuckled.

Because last year's "Annual Rings" and this time's "Hollow" have brought Yuan Wanqing unprecedented popularity and traffic.

Therefore, Yuan Wanqing has more confidence in Li Luo than Ying Zhicheng, and it is even almost a case of blindly following him.

Especially after knowing that her daughter had a very good relationship with Li Luo in private, Yuan Wanqing not only did not stop it like other parents, but instead seemed to acquiesce.

Even when Yan Zhusheng wanted to go to Changning to find Li Luo, Yuan Wanqing agreed and could also meet Ying Zhicheng at the same time.

The success in career gave Yuan Wanqing an illusion that Li Luo was her lucky star.

Although it's a bit metaphysical, given the talent Li Luo has shown now, Yuan Wanqing feels that it's worth a try to make Ying Zhicheng trust him once.

"I will definitely continue to follow up on this aspect." Ying Zhicheng nodded and said, "But the details will have to wait until his new novel is finished. Right now, your side is more important."

As he spoke, Ying Zhicheng received another message. He took a look at it and then raised his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Wanqing asked curiously.

"Nothing, you can check Weibo." Ying Zhicheng smiled, "This can be considered a blessing in disguise."

Yuan Wanqing didn't understand what he meant, so she immediately opened her phone and checked Weibo, and then she saw the topic that was currently at the top of Weibo's hot search list.

——[Yuan Wanqing: I’m really not a star]

If you click on this topic, you can see the most popular related post, which briefly explains the relationship and cooperation between Yuan Wanqing and the book "I'm Really Not a Star".

But because the topic entry was so deceptive, many passers-by who were interested in the singer Yuan Wanqing tonight subconsciously clicked on this topic.

After all, no matter how Yuan Wanqing retired from the entertainment industry before, she has now returned to the public eye. However, she said, "I'm really not a star," which is a bit too modest, and even gives people the suspicion that she is deliberately showing off.

But after everyone was tricked into it, they found out that this thing was completely different from what they had imagined.

And with the huge traffic of the character Yuan Wanqing tonight, this special topic quickly topped the hot search list.

Upon seeing this, Ying Zhicheng immediately gave orders to keep the popularity of this wild post.

So under such a coincidence.

When Li Luo woke up the next day, the hot search related to "Who is Reignited" had quietly entered the top 30 of Weibo's hot search list.

Li Luo had gotten up early in the morning, accompanied Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng for a morning run, had breakfast, and fed his senior sister. Then he returned to his room, opened the writer's backend, and wanted to see the results of last night's battle.

As a result, as soon as I went online on QQ, I was tagged by several people in the author group.

Li Luo clicked on it and saw that he was on the trending search.

At first he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just because of Yuan Wanqing, and that she just mentioned the author of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" in passing, and it shouldn't be a big deal.

However, when he saw someone in the Qidian premium author group tagged him and asked if Ran Shen was really a high school student, Li Luo realized something was wrong and quickly went online to check the trending searches.

And under the hot search of "Who is Reignited", many people have already commented.

Among them, most people only know that Chongran is the author of "I'm Really Not a Star", serializing online novels on Qidian. At the same time, he also writes songs for Yuan Wanqing and has the ability to create original songs.

But amid such popularity, some of the authors who had met Li Luo at symposiums and writers' salons before apparently also noticed this trending search.

In addition, most of these authors are night owls. When they occasionally see their colleagues on the hot search list on Weibo, some of them naturally can't suppress their desire to express and share, and introduce to everyone what kind of person offline Rekindling is.

When everyone learned that Chongran was actually still an underage high school student, public opinion was in an uproar.

Originally, all the public opinion last night was focused on Yuan Wanqing, but by this morning, at least half of the attention was focused on Chongran, the online writer.

"Minor", "Online writer", "Original songwriter", "Million-dollar annual income", "High school student"

A few keywords that were supposed to be unrelated, when put together, formed a huge tornado of public opinion.

So much so that after Ying Zhicheng got up the next day, he received a message from his subordinates saying that there was no need for them to secretly maintain the popularity anymore... The popularity of this thing just couldn't be lowered!
By noon, the two topic entries, "Yuan Wanqing: I'm really not a star" and "Who is Chongran", were jumping back and forth between the first and second lists.

Yuan Wanqing's "Hollow" topped the QQ Music New Songs Chart, Hot Songs Chart and Rising Songs Chart.

Li Luo's "I'm Really Not a Star" also successfully topped the monthly ticket list and best-selling list of Qidian.com, and the data from major channel websites were all positive, with remarkable results.

Especially for Li Luo’s three chapters last night, the subscription data displayed on the backend of Qidian’s main site even tripled from the original basis, reaching a full 50,000 subscriptions!
Obviously, many people did not read what he wrote before, and just took a look at the content of these chapters that were linked to "I Am a Singer".

Judging from this momentum, it is a foregone conclusion that "I'm Not a Celebrity" will break through the 30,000 average subscription mark.

The connection between "I'm Really Not a Star" and Yuan Wanqing's new album has also been talked about on the Internet.

The production team of "I Am a Singer" was happy to see this happen, even though it was Yuan Wanqing who borrowed the traffic to ignite the popularity.

But the longer the topic related to Yuan Wanqing continues, the more benefits it will bring to the program team.

Everything is going in the best direction.

In addition to the hot search "Who is Reignited"!
Li Luo couldn't help but feel a toothache when he saw the term "Who is Rekindling" which often jumped to the top of the hot search list on Weibo.

Fortunately, the famous authors who knew him didn’t know which school he attended, otherwise Li Luo would be really afraid that the news that he was studying at the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School would be leaked.

Fortunately, the students in Class Eight are relatively confidential, although they may secretly chat about this kind of gossip with their acquaintances in private.

But if it really comes to exposing it online, no one would do it.

After confirming that his true situation had not been exposed, Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the rekindled internet craze?
What does that have to do with him, Li Luo?
