Chapter 78 Lyrics True Meaning
It's about nine o'clock in the evening.

Xu Youyu and Ying Chanxi washed the dishes in the kitchen and then went back to their bedrooms.

After a quick shower, Xu Youyu sat in front of the computer. Before typing, he opened the official QQ group of the contracted authors of Qidian Metropolis Group and took a look at everyone's chat history.

Then she remembered that today seemed to be the day when last month's royalties were announced.

So she quickly opened the writer's background and checked her royalties.

-1408.97
Well... considering her average subscription level of just 1200, this income after ten days on the shelves is considered normal.

After all, she is not as perverted as Zhongran. After it was put on the shelves until the end of the month, there were more than 10,000 updates every day.

Except for the first day when Xu Youyu gritted his teeth and updated the 10,000-word manuscript, he immediately returned to the 4,000-word state afterwards.

I was afraid that if I wasn't careful, I would use up the 20,000+ manuscripts I had saved with great difficulty.

Things will gradually get busy after school starts, so it is better to plan your savings well.

Based on this income, as long as she can maintain an update of 4000 words per day, she can surely earn three to four thousand yuan a month.

A high school student writes novels in his spare time and earns three to four thousand yuan a month.

This figure may be a normal income for ordinary workers.

But for a high school student like Xu Youyu, it is a very exaggerated thing.

At a time when most high school students only have food allowance each month and may not even have pocket money, Xu Youyu has an extra three to four thousand yuan in disposable funds each month.

Ordinary people would feel happy just thinking about it.

But Xu Youyu grew up in a well-off family, so he didn't feel much about this. He was just happy to get the royalties.

Unfortunately, there is no one in real life to share this joy with, so Xu Youyu can only look for people to share it with online.

[Go to bed early to grow taller]: Boss, look! How much did I get for my writing last month? How much did you get last month?

Li Luo was typing in the master bedroom when he received this message.

【Rekindle】: More than 7,000.

Hiss...Xu Youyu was a little envious.

When Xu Youyu thought that the guy opposite him was actually Li Luo, he was still a little confused.

I make seven thousand a month.

We are all high school students, can't you act happier?

These days, it is very difficult for an ordinary person to find a job that pays 7,000 yuan a month.

[Go to bed early to grow taller]: What is the boss going to do with this money? Buy a new computer? Change a new phone?
[Rekindle]: Pay off the mortgage, what else can I do.

Seeing this sentence, Xu Youyu was stunned for a moment.

She probably knew that Li Luo's parents bought the house with a loan, so there must be a mortgage.

But she subconsciously thought that paying off the mortgage was her parents' responsibility and had never thought about this matter at all.

But Li Luo said it very naturally, and he didn't seem to feel sorry at all.

He usually speaks so incoherently... Xu Youyu pursed his lips, finding it hard to connect Li Luo with the guy in front of him who said he wanted to pay off his mortgage.

If you do this, it will make her seem like she is very ignorant.

Xu Youyu shook his head and planned to find a few more authors to share the joy of receiving royalties.

But after reopening the QQ group of contracted authors, I found that many people were discussing the book "I'm Really Not a Star".

[Have you read the latest chapter of this book? Ran Ju did a cool trick]

[Is it that new song? Some people in my reader group are also spreading it]

[What the hell? What new song?]

[It’s the book “I’m Really Not a Celebrity”, written by a member of the group named Chongran]

[He wrote a song in his previous book called "Annual Rings", which seemed to be an original song by the author. Many people thought that he just wrote a few original lyrics to make it literary, but they didn't expect that he actually came up with a new song.]

[It is available on music platforms and QQ Music]

[Fuck, it sounds pretty good? ]

[It’s just so-so, right? I can only say that the original is pretty good, but this song is just okay]

[It’s great to be able to create original works, but are the requirements for writing about entertainment so high now? Haha]

Looking at the chat content in the group, Xu Youyu also showed a curious look.

Before Li Luo and his friends were in military training, she was at home writing and saving manuscripts like crazy, and even now that school has started, she has no time to follow Li Luo's book. Seeing this news, Xu Youyu immediately opened Li Luo's book and took a look at the content at the end of the latest chapter, and found that it was true.

So she searched for "Annual Rings" on QQ Music and clicked to play.

Singer: Sheng Sheng Never Stops

Lyrics: Reignite

Composer: Reignite

Composer: Luo Fei

The sound of music never stops...could this be Yan Zhusheng?
As Xu Youyu was making this guess in his mind, the melody of the song was already ringing in his ears.

"The circle is drawn into a fingerprint~"

"On my lips~"

Looking at the lyrics and listening to the song carefully, Xu Youyu was quickly attracted.

After listening to it once, she opened Li Luo's book again, found the chapter where the song "Annual Rings" appeared, and read it carefully.

More than ten minutes later, Xu Youyu let out a long sigh and his expression became more complicated.

She glanced towards the master bedroom and wondered what on earth this guy Li Luo might not know.

Are there really such amazing boys in the world?
Why does it seem like Li Luo is good at everything he does?
[Go to bed early and you will grow taller]: I just listened to your original song. I think you are amazing. It sounds very nice.

[Rekindle]: Thank you, as long as you like it.

【Go to bed early and you will grow taller】: Speaking of which, I know a friend who can also write songs, but his style is a little different from yours.

[Rekindled]: Really? That’s pretty impressive.

Looking at Li Luo's reply, Xu Youyu also felt it was magical. He always felt that this guy was completely different online and in real life.

How to put it... Most of the time on the Internet, Li Luo seems to be more mature, which is consistent with her previous guess that "Qionan is an uncle."

This is completely different from his humorous and often rambling style of speaking in real life.

【Early sleep will make you taller】: Who is this Sheng Sheng Bu Xi? His voice is very nice and I think his voice is familiar.

[Rekindle]: Well... he is a friend of mine, and I asked him to record this song.

It looks like it's Yan Zhusheng?

Xu Youyu recalled that last night, Li Luo said Yan Zhusheng called him and even asked for leave to go home, probably to record this song.

Xu Youyu, who discovered the truth, was still feeling smug, while Li Luo in the master bedroom was already sweating profusely.

After being asked so many questions by Xu Youyu, he was afraid that Xu Youyu would recognize his true identity.

However, Li Luo rethought and realized that without solid evidence, most people would never have thought that the person who could write a book like "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" would be a 15 or 16-year-old high school student.

After thinking this through, Li Luo felt a little more at ease.

However, Xu Youyu interrupted him and interrupted his typing. Li Luo opened his book and took a look at the comment section.

[What the hell? No...are you serious? ]

[666, is this really an original song? ]

[Last time, the one who said that if the author can write original songs, why is he still writing novels, come out! I just want to ask, what is this song "Annual Rings"! ]

[It sounds pretty good. It's amazing that I can still see the author's original new song in an entertainment novel in my lifetime.]

[I re-watched that plot and suddenly realized that the tree roots and growth rings in the lyrics can all be linked to the content of the fictional TV series in the plot. The author was thoughtful.]

[Why does it feel like they wrote the song first, forced it to rhyme with words like tree roots, and then made up a TV series about a tree demon and a flower bud falling in love? ]

[No, no, no, tree roots, annual rings, fingerprints, the meanings of these words are very good, and they are related to each other in image. I feel that there is something to it.]

[The tree roots give people a bitter taste, especially when they are cut in half, so that you can see the growth rings on them. The outlines of the growth rings are very similar to the fingerprints on a person's fingers, which is really interesting.]

[The above-mentioned horizontal waist cutting suddenly reminded me of the tree demon TV series mentioned in the main text. The ending seemed to be that the tree demon cut off its own body, took out its essence, saved the heroine, but died itself]

[Then the heroine leans against the tree roots every day to count the tree rings and recall the fingerprints that once fell on her lips, right? What the hell, can they be connected? ]

Seeing the discussion in the comment section becoming more and more heated, Li Luo fell into deep thought for a moment.

So this is what the lyrics of “Annual Rings” mean?

He just found out about this now.
