Chapter 411 The answer from a lifetime apart

High school, campus, rooftop, senior schoolmate.

A few simple images can outline a beautiful scene, a plot, or a memory buried deep in the hearts of many people.

But for Li Luo at this moment, it was actually happening.

The rooftop of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School is different from the campus rooftops in anime. There is no decoration at all, and the concrete floor is completely exposed.

The surrounding railings are also rather random, and are even crooked in some places.

After all, this place is usually locked and students are not allowed to come up without permission.

But no one could have imagined that during the most lively New Year's Day event in the First Affiliated School, two students refused to play class games and instead ran to the rooftop to enjoy the cold wind.

Li Luo was feeling even more uncomfortable at this time. After being provoked by his senior sister, she was not responsible for putting out the fire, which made Li Luo feel very uncomfortable.

It was not until he temporarily took off Yan Zhusheng's scarf and felt the cold wind on the rooftop that Li Luo slowly calmed down and the fire in his heart gradually died down.

He finally realized that the senior sister didn't dare to do it for real.

Last time I played flying chess at home on my birthday, I just got angry when playing against Yan Zhusheng and lost control, so I gave him a good time.

Normally, Li Luo was in an atmosphere where he was completely led by Xu Youyu. He would always be torn between the lines by Xu Youyu's teasing, which had worn out Li Luo's young body.

"School is still too dangerous. I was just teasing you." Xu Youyu moved closer to Li Luo and said with a smile, "I'll reward you when we get home?"

"Forget it." Li Luo shook his head quickly, not wanting to give her the chance to hook him into a black bass. "It's already early tonight, and I still have to prepare for the release of Little Joy."

"Oh, that's right. Your book is going to be on the shelves soon." Xu Youyu nodded suddenly. "By the way, how are your grades?"

"Usually, there are more than 2,000 follow-up readers."

"You call more than 2,000 readers average?" Xu Youyu was speechless. "When my book was put on the shelves, it didn't even have this many readers."

"Then the exposure is different, so we can't generalize." Li Luo laughed, "I have maximized the exposure since the beginning of the book, and I also have the resources for the essay competition, as well as my personal reputation as an endorsement, but in the end, there are only 2,000 followers, which shows that the potential is limited."

"When we first published our book last year, we had no pen name endorsement and no other traffic resources. We relied purely on our hard power to win the recommendation position."

"These are two completely different concepts. Senior sister, please don't underestimate yourself."

"Okay, okay, stop talking." Xu Youyu waved his hand with a bored look on his face. "I wanted to comfort you, but you turned out to be too optimistic. I thought you would be unhappy because your new book didn't do well."

"After all, it is just a novel with realistic themes, and it is not suitable for the online literature field." Li Luo said, "This book "Little Joy" is purely aimed at film and television adaptation. At least among the readers who are following it, the reputation is pretty good."

"Film and television copyrights..." Xu Youyu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this word.

Once upon a time, when she was still in the group of contracted authors, she had heard about those online literature masters selling copyrights for tens of millions.

Unexpectedly, after just a year and a half, the junior fellow around me has already become a big star and is likely to sell the first film and television copyright.

According to the nature of Wenyue Group, which holds many IPs in its hands, it always quotes high prices.

For upper-middle level authors, this is actually quite a pitfall.

Because the bid is too high, the copyright will most likely not be sold.

The only ones who are really popular are the top-level great authors and Wenyue Group, which drives up the price of IP with high bids.

However, Li Luo has now reached the level of a great god in just over a year.

To put it bluntly, it has already entered the realm of vested interest groups.

Compared with the authors below, film and television copyrights are naturally easier to sell.

Not to mention that this time there is also essay endorsement and government cooperation support.

"You will be a great writer in the future, and the gap between you and me will become wider and wider." Xu Youyu said with emotion.

"Not far at all." Li Luo took Xu Youyu's hand and pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear, "Is this still far?"

"Heh." Xu Youyu was amused by his actions, and then a little touched. But in the end, he patted Li Luo on the back and comforted him, "I didn't say what would happen. I'm not that self-abased. I would escape just because the people around me become better."

After hearing this, Li Luo suddenly felt embarrassed.

Although Xu Youyu's words were unintentional, every word hit Li Luo's sore spot.

In the previous life, wasn't it because the gap between the two of them was getting bigger and bigger, and because Li Luo owed Xu Youyu a lot of debt, that he became more and more distant from her?

Thinking of this, Li Luo couldn't help but ask: "Senior sister, I have a question."

"what happened?"

"Suppose, for example, you meet someone and fall in love with him/her." Li Luo said carefully, "But you become more and more powerful and your achievements become higher and higher."

"But the person you like can't make that much money, and may even start a business, invest, lose a lot of money, and go into debt."

"Will you still like him?"

Xu Youyu couldn't help but blink when he heard this question. After thinking for a while, he looked up at Li Luo and said, "Although I don't know why you ask this."

"But I think if the other person is so much worse than me, my mother probably won't agree."

"So at that time, I would probably work hard to improve myself, make good money, and pursue what I want without being affected by my family and living a comfortable life."

"As for whether you will still like each other..." When Xu Youyu said this, he couldn't help laughing and raised his hand to knock on Li Luo's head.

"Why do I feel like the question you asked is so stupid."

"If I like someone, why would I care whether he makes money or not?"

"Whether it's starting a business or investing, success or failure? He is still himself."

"I think instead of worrying about whether I will still like him, I should worry about him first."

"The person I like must be someone who is gentle at heart, who knows how to think from other people's perspectives, and who is considerate of others."

"So what I'm more worried about is, what if after he fails, he feels that he is not worthy of me and takes the initiative to stay away from me?"

"That's what's really troubling."

At this point, Xu Youyu couldn't help but chuckle, patted Li Luo on the shoulder and said, "I've finished answering, so why are you asking this kind of question?"

"Nothing, nothing..." Li Luo shook his head, hugged Xu Youyu tightly, put his head on her shoulder, took a deep breath, and felt his body shaking uncontrollably.

"Huh?" Xu Youyu seemed to sense his emotions at the moment and couldn't help laughing, "Could it be that you are moved by my view on love?"

"I just feel that..." Li Luo restrained his emotions and laughed softly, "It's rare for Senior Sister to be so serious."

"Tsk, what are you saying?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Then what would you do if you were faced with the question I asked just now?"

"Of course I don't mind."

"That's right." Xu Youyu nodded and said, "This world is so strange."

"It's clearly agreed that men and women are equal, but when a boy achieves higher, he can be compatible with girls who are not as good as him without any psychological burden."

"But when a girl achieves higher, even if she is willing to be downwardly compatible, many boys may not be willing to do so, or even if they are willing, they still feel uncomfortable."

"To put it bluntly, in terms of character concepts, we are still a little bit away from true equality."

Although Li Luo really wanted to refute her, he felt a little guilty when he thought about what he did in his previous life.

It feels like Xu Youyu hit it right.

……

The two chatted for a long time on the rooftop.

Normally, Li Luo and Xu Youyu don't have much time to be alone together, let alone like now, when there is nothing else to do except chatting.

So before they knew it, the two of them were chatting about many topics, things that they rarely talked about in daily life.

Li Luo also learned from Xu Youyu the answers to some questions that he had never dared to ask in his previous life.

Although there is a full six or seven years age difference between Xu Youyu in this life and Xu Youyu in the previous life.

But in terms of some concepts and ideas that have basically taken shape, there should be almost the same difference.

Wait until it's almost eleven o'clock in the morning.

Li Luo and Xu Youyu came down from the rooftop together, locked the door again, and after returning the key to its original place, the two of them walked downstairs.

At this time, there was a look of relief on Li Luo's face, but he quickly restrained it.

The two found Ying Chanxi on the second floor, and simply set out from the sky corridor on the second floor and went directly to the second floor of the cafeteria.

Not long after, Yan Zhusheng and others also rushed over from the Grade 12 teaching building, found Li Luo and the other two sitting by the window, and sat down to eat together.

"Why is senior sister with you?" Yan Zhusheng looked at the three of them puzzledly, then asked curiously.

"Senior is alone in the senior year and didn't participate in the class games, so I asked Li Luo to play with her." Ying Chanxi said simply, then turned around and asked, "Did you draw the lottery?"

"It's too late." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "But thank you anyway. It was a happy morning, right?"

As he spoke, Xu Youyu nudged Li Luo's arm and winked at him.

"Ah... yes..." Li Luo came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly, "I'm very happy."

"The club experience activity will be held in the afternoon." Ying Chanxi said, "What are your plans?"

"I have to watch over the Rock Club." As the de facto president of the Rock Club, Yan Zhusheng said, "I probably don't have much time to come out and play."

"I also have to patrol and confirm the situation of each society." Ying Chanxi nodded.

"I'm fine." Xu Youyu had finished his meal and said with his chin supported by one hand, "But I feel very tired. I want to take a nap in the classroom later."

"Then in the afternoon." Li Luo glanced at Xu Youyu, then looked at Ying Chanxi, "I'll go on patrol with Xixi first, and visit all the clubs by the way."

"Okay." Ying Chanxi nodded with a smile, and then took the initiative to say, "Then wait until Senior Sister has had enough sleep, then you can accompany her for a walk."

Yan Zhusheng on the opposite side had no objection and nodded naturally to show his agreement.

Xu Yinghuan and Qiao Xinyan, who were sitting next to them, fell into silence when they saw the harmonious communication and distribution at the table. They couldn't help but look at each other, wondering what was going on.
I always feel like the four of them have become a little closer recently.

Are you starting to allocate Li Luo’s time in a friendly manner?
