Chapter 349: Can you be a gigolo and eat from three people at once?

On Houde Road, Xu Youyu came out of the senior high school teaching building, met up with three people, and walked towards Bihai Lanting together.

Under the cover of night, it was a rare occasion on a normal school day for the four of them to go home together after school.

However, after walking out of the school gate, Li Luo did not walk towards the entrance of the community, but took the three of them to take a look at the side iron gate of the dormitory campus.

After seeing the familiar figure, Li Luo also laughed.

Only when he walked closer and took a closer look did Li Luo realize that in addition to his uncle Lin Xiufeng and the diligent Zhao Rongjun, there was actually another figure at the stall.

"Senior Sister Jian?" Li Luo recognized this person and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Jian Chun, who was helping to prepare ingredients at the stall, heard Li Luo's voice and turned to look over: "Huh? You are that...that..."

"Ahem, stop it!" Li Luo immediately raised his hand to interrupt her, "When you are outside, please don't mention my pen name."

"Oh." Jian Chun couldn't help but chuckle when he reminded her. "I finished writing the paper about you during the summer vacation. Do you need to take a look at it?"

"Senior Jane, can we not talk about this anymore?"

Fortunately, there were no outsiders here, so Jian Chun just said what he wanted to say. Li Luo was used to this level of social death.

When he got close to Lin Xiufeng, he asked in a puzzled voice: "Uncle, why did you abduct this person here?"

"Don't say such harsh words. What does kidnapping mean?" Lin Xiufeng said speechlessly. "Now that Qianjiang University has started school, she is a part-time employee in our milk tea shop. Isn't it normal for her to come over and help?"

"This is not the main business of a milk tea shop." Li Luo laughed and complained.

"She was just curious. We originally arranged for her to stay in the milk tea shop. This time she just followed over to take a look and let her experience it." Lin Xiufeng said, "After a while, she went back to the milk tea shop."

"Uncle, you already have a milk tea shop, why are you coming here?"

"Isn't it okay to make extra money? Who would complain about having too much money?" Lin Xiufeng laughed, "Once I buy a car, I won't come here anymore."

Mainly because after the milk tea shop opened, Lin Xiufeng resigned from his job as a truck driver in his relative's company.

But compared to the job of a truck driver, working in a milk tea shop is obviously much more leisurely.

Especially during the summer vacation, there is basically no business.

Today, as school has just started, there are obviously more people ordering milk tea. However, because there is a milk tea shop on Ningshan Avenue to divert customers, Lin Xiufeng's milk tea shop does not have many customers, and it relies entirely on takeout orders to support half of the business.

Even though the number of orders has increased a lot compared to the summer vacation period, it is still relatively easy for Lin Xiufeng and Jian Chun.

So late at night, Lin Xiufeng was still full of energy. He rode his electric tricycle directly to the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School to earn extra money.

After understanding the details, Li Luo no longer cared about his uncle. After receiving four servings of fried noodles, he said hello to Zhao Rongjun and went home together.

After the third evening self-study get out of class, two boarding students, Qiao Xinyan and Xu Yinghuan, came hand in hand and strolled to the iron gate next to the girls' dormitory.

When Zhao Rongjun saw them, he quietly handed them two boxes of fried rice that he had prepared in advance without charging them any money.

"By the way, why did you come together at night?" Zhao Rongjun asked puzzledly.

Last semester, Qiao Xinyan and Xu Yinghuan hardly ever walked together, so Zhao Rongjun asked this question.

"You're so stupid." Xu Yinghuan laughed and hugged Qiao Xinyan's arm. "The second year of high school will be divided into classes, and the dormitories will be reallocated. Xinyan and I are in the same dormitory now."

"Oh, no wonder." Zhao Rongjun nodded suddenly.

"Remember to go home early and don't let your family worry." Qiao Xinyan kindly reminded, "Be careful on your way back."

"Well, I know."

After watching the two girls return to the dormitory, Zhao Rongjun continued to be busy.

He also took out twenty yuan, stuffed it into the other money he had collected, and gave it to Lin Xiufeng.

……

Bi Hai Lan Ting 1502, after the four people returned home and had a midnight snack, they prepared to take a shower and rest.

Xu Youyu touched his stomach, which was filled and comfortable. Seeing Ying Chanxi had already stood up and was about to take a shower, he raised his hand and suggested, "From now on, the three of us will be living at home. It will take too much time to take a shower one by one. How about we take a shower together from now on?"

"Eh?" Ying Chanxi heard the suggestion, looked at Xu Youyu's chest, then looked at his own, and then declined, "Forget it? We will be out of school at around 8 o'clock, and it's only a little before 9 o'clock now. We will definitely be able to finish washing before 10:30."

"It's more convenient for three people." Xu Youyu chuckled, "Or let's change the plan. Li Luo's bedroom also has a bathroom. After he finishes showering, I'll go directly to his side to shower. This way, there will be two people in each bathroom, and the time spent will be more evenly distributed."

"I agree." Yan Zhusheng nodded immediately after hearing this plan, "But if we go to Li Luo's room to take a shower, we have to take turns every day."

"Okay." Xu Youyu said with a smile.

But after hearing what the two said, Ying Chanxi immediately walked back with a red face, grabbed their arms, and whispered: "I, I think it's good for the three of us to take a shower together. We are all girls, and it's a bit inconvenient to go to Li Luo's room to take a shower. Let's take a shower together."

Li Luo glanced at Xu Youyu, who had mastered the tactic of "breaking the door if you want to open the window", and shook his head helplessly. Then he got up, cleaned up the dining table, and went into his bedroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Li Luo walked out of the room, wanting to pour himself a glass of water before going back to writing.

As a result, when I passed by the bathroom in the corridor, I suddenly heard bursts of noise and the tempting sound of dripping water coming from inside.

"Xixi, do you feel like you've gotten a little bigger?"

"Yes, yes?"

"I think so." Xu Youyu laughed.

Li Luo listened to the conversation between the three girls in the bathroom, quickly went to the living room to pour a glass of water, hurried back to his bedroom, drank some water to calm himself down, and then began to type.

However, in the middle of typing, he received a message from the editor.

[Qianzhou]: I was so busy before that I forgot to congratulate you on successfully breaking through the threshold of 30,000 average subscriptions. I feel that your book has a hope of reaching 50,000 average subscriptions!

[Qianzhou]: By the way, can you keep writing until the end of next year?

[Rekindle]: It should be ok, what’s wrong?
[Qianzhou]: The main site has an average subscription of 50,000, and the channel website's performance is explosive. You are already on the path to becoming a legend with just one book.

[Qianzhou]: If you can hold on until the end of next year, even if you only have this one book to your name, it will be enough for you to get a platinum contract.

[Qianzhou]: It is rare to see great players under the age of 20, but there are some in recent years.

[Qianzhou]: But underage platinum is really unheard of!
[Rekindled]: Um... Strictly speaking, I will be 12 years old on December 21st next year, so I can't be considered a minor.

[Qianzhou]: An 18-year-old platinum author is also outrageous, okay! Don't pay attention to these details.

[Qianzhou]: Tudou was only 19 years old when he wrote Doupo. You are even more exaggerated than him.

Li Luo felt a little ashamed when he saw Qianzhou comparing himself to a potato, thinking that potatoes were much more talented than him in this area.

[Rekindle]: I will probably need to write this book for another two to three years, so I don’t have to worry about finishing it in the short term.

[Qianzhou]: Okay, I feel relieved when you say this.

[Qianzhou]: How is the preparation for the novel you mentioned before that you wanted to participate in the realism-themed writing competition going?

[Qianzhou]: When do you plan to send it? It would be best if you could let me know in advance.

[Rekindle]: I am currently writing a book. Since it is relatively short, probably only about 400,000 to 500,000 words, I plan to publish the book after I finish writing it.

[Qianzhou]: Is that so...it won’t interfere with your normal writing updates, right?

[Rekindle]: Don’t worry, it won’t have any impact. I have more than 300,000 words in drafts.

[Qianzhou]: I should say that you are worthy of being a young person... You are really energetic. You are studying and writing books, and now you want to be expelled from the party and fired. It's really outrageous.

[Rekindle]: Anyway, I’ll tell you when I finish writing it. It will probably be around the next month.

[Qianzhou]: So fast?
According to Qianzhou's idea, for a short story of 400,000 or 500,000 words, it would be good if he could squeeze out time to write 1,000 to 2,000 words every day.

Can Li Luo finally accomplish it in two months?

But for Li Luo, creating "Little Joy" was not a difficult task.

Because the original work itself is a very short novel of about 100,000 words, with only about twenty chapters in total.

Moreover, many of the settings in the original novel are quite different from those in the TV series.

So Li Luo wrote directly according to the plot of the entire TV series in his mind.

With the storyboards and lines of the TV series, this thing is not very difficult to write.

However, after writing the book, whether it will become popular after being adapted into a TV series is not something Li Luo can decide.

[Rekindle]: It's just my normal speed, don't worry. [Qianzhou]: That's fine.

[Qianzhou]: I have one last thing to tell you in advance.

【Rekindle】: What’s the matter?
[Qianzhou]: The time for this year's annual meeting has been confirmed. It is tentatively scheduled for January 1th and 30st. I will notify you in advance.

[Qianzhou]: This year’s top players and platinum list will be announced at that time, so just wait to go on stage and show off.

[Rekindled]: Well... I actually don’t have any need to show off, can you please not go on stage?

[Qianzhou]: You are one of the most representative authors this year. It is certain that you will go on stage to speak. Don’t shirk it.

[Qianzhou]: This won’t be broadcasted, what are you afraid of?

[Qianzhou]: Okay, I won’t disturb you from typing anymore, I’m leaving now.

【Rekindle】：……

After talking with the editor, Li Luo smiled helplessly and continued typing.

At this time, in the bathroom in the corridor, Yan Zhusheng had finished his shower first. After changing into light pajamas, he came to Li Luo's bedroom and asked him to blow dry his hair.

After Li Luo finished blow-drying Yan Zhusheng's hair, Ying Chanxi also came out of the bathroom and took Yan Zhusheng's place.

After Ying Chanxi finished playing, Xu Youyu came out again, sat down on Li Luo's chair with a smile, and shook his head: "One more person doesn't make a difference, right?"

Li Luo sighed helplessly, picked up the hair dryer and continued to serve the third customer. Then he couldn't help but complain: "If I could charge for blow-drying hair, I would be financially free with the help of you three."

"Blow-drying your hair can make you financially independent?" Xu Youyu laughed, "Then your charge is a bit expensive."

"Who else can be the man who blows the hair of three beautiful girls every night except their... um, um." Li Luo joked, "If you all make a lot of money in the future, won't I be financially free?"

"What sweet dreams are you having?" Ying Chanxi, who was sitting beside the bed, pouted and kicked him, saying angrily, "How can a gigolo eat from three families at once?"

"Then you can just stop being a gigolo?" Yan Zhusheng asked with his head tilted.

"That, that's not possible, right?" Ying Chanxi widened his eyes and looked at Yan Zhusheng beside him in surprise, "Zhusheng, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, just talking."

While Xu Youyu was blowing his hair, the four of them were chatting in Li Luo's bedroom. It was quite rare to see four people getting together so late at night.

After Li Luo finished blowing Xu Youyu, Xu Youyu patted his butt and went back to his bedroom, ready to start writing.

Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng sat in a row on Li Luo's bed, staring at each other, and neither of them left first.

Only after Li Luo carried them both out of the room did the bedroom return to complete silence.

Li Luo sat in front of the computer and typed the three words "Little Joy" in the newly created book document. Then he searched for it in his memory palace and began to write down the plot in the form of a novel according to the plot of the TV series.

Compared with the original work which has a pitiful length of more than 100,000 words, Li Luo's work is obviously much more substantial.

A scene in a TV series may only last a few seconds, but for Li Luo, he needs to include time, scene, characters, psychology, dialogue, etc. in text, and then eliminate those that are irrelevant and retain the parts that are necessary for the plot.

Even so, after such a huge amount of work, Li Luo calculated that a single episode of a TV series would probably take about 10,000 to 20,000 words.

It is about the length of a normal online article, about ten to twenty chapters, forming a relatively complete beginning, development, turning point and ending.

The content of the original novel, which consists of only a few hundred thousand words, is really scarce. The actual plot of the TV series still relies on the screenwriter to fill in the gaps to make it substantial and rich enough.

There are 49 episodes in total, which would take at least to words.

Fortunately, he did finish watching this drama in his previous life. When Li Luo was bored during the summer vacation, he would search and download it in the memory palace. Now when he is typing, he doesn't have to waste his brain energy to recall it.

After typing until late at night, Li Luo stretched, checked the time, and went to bed.

……

Sleep till early morning.

Li Luo felt heavy on his body. When he woke up, he found Yan Zhusheng sitting on his stomach, with her fingers sliding across his nose.

After noticing that Li Luo had opened his eyes, Yan Zhusheng retracted his fingers and said seriously: "Li Luo, I'm here to wake you up."

"I didn't hear you calling me either?" Li Luo was speechless, thinking, wasn't it you who pressed me down and woke me up?

Where did you call?
"I called you, but you didn't respond."

"Well, I'm awake now, come down quickly."

"Oh."

As he was saying this, Li Luo's door was suddenly opened.

Ying Chanxi pushed the door open and walked in, apparently intending to wake Li Luo up. But when he looked up, he saw Yan Zhusheng sitting astride Li Luo's belly. His eyes widened immediately: "Zhusheng! What are you doing?"

"I told him to get up." Yan Zhusheng had already turned over and got out of bed, saying with an innocent look on his face.

"Why did you climb on top of Li Luo when you called him to get up?"

"He didn't respond when I called him. He was sleeping so soundly." Yan Zhusheng said, "After I pressed on him, he woke up immediately."

Ying Chanxi: “…Really?”

"Really." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "Xixi can try it next time."

"What do you think I am?" Li Luo said with a frown on his face, "A mount?"

Ying Chanxi was originally a little tempted, and when he heard what Li Luo said, he was immediately amused, and then his face tightened seriously: "I didn't say I really want to try it."

"I hope that when I open my eyes tomorrow morning, it won't be you on top of me."

"What do you mean?" Ying Chanxi was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this, "If you don't think it's me, then who do you think it is?"

"…Is this the maximum comprehension ability of the top student in the grade?"

"Hmph, I want you to take care of it."

Urging the two girls to go to the bathroom to wash up, Li Luo asked Ying Chanxi to soak the senior's towel in cold water and bring it over.

Then he came to the door of Xu Youyu's room, knocked, pushed the door open and took a look.

After seeing Xu Youyu still sleeping soundly on the bed, Li Luo walked in directly, squatted beside the bed and patted her face: "Senior sister, wake up."

"Hmm...what time is it? My alarm hasn't even gone off."

"It's past six o'clock. Get up and go for a morning run with us to school."

"You want to die..." When Xu Youyu heard the time, he groaned on the bed, turned his back to Li Luo, and didn't want to pay attention to him. He muttered in a daze, "Just wait, you will see what happens to you tonight."

At this time, Ying Chanxi had already walked into the room with a wet towel, and handed it to Li Luo with a strange expression as if he wanted to laugh.

After Li Luo got the towel, he laughed and patted Xu Youyu on the shoulder: "Then I will show you something. After you read it, you can choose to continue sleeping."

"What the hell?" Xu Youyu turned around in a daze.

The next second, she felt her face being covered instantly. A chill ran from her face straight to her spine, spreading to her limbs and bones, and she shuddered all over.

Before she could scream, Li Luo's big hands had already pressed down on her, wiping back and forth on her face.

"Li Luo!"

Forced to wash his face with cold water, Xu Youyu was no longer sleepy. He jumped up from the bed with his arms and legs bared. Without even putting on his slippers, he pounced towards Li Luo with his bare feet on the floor.

Of course Li Luo would not be stupid enough to stay there and be captured, so he immediately slipped out the door.

But in the end, Xu Youyu was more skilled. He grabbed Li Luo on the sofa in the living room, pressed him under him, and said viciously: "If you don't beat me for three days, you will tear the tiles off the roof. I think you deserve a beating!"

"I'm trying my best to do this, okay? Otherwise, you can call Aunt Cui now to see if she supports you or me!"

Li Luo was pinned down by his senior sister but he still refused to give in and responded stiffly.

"Humph! My mother is not here right now, what's the point of asking her for justice? Give me your life!"

Ying Chanxi watched Xu Youyu chase out of the room. The two of them were chasing and fleeing in the living room. He was originally standing there watching the show and laughing.

But when Xu Youyu pressed Li Luo under him, Ying Chanxi's face suddenly froze. Seeing the two of them wrestling, he quickly stepped forward to hold Xu Youyu back, "Stop, stop fighting. Hurry up and wash up. Let's go for a morning run together."
