Chapter 512 [Extra Story·Yuyu] (3) First Visit
After the second dinner date and the agreement to become each other's rental partner, the relationship between Li Luo and Xu Youyu became closer.
Originally, when they were online, the topics of conversation between the two were limited to online articles and content related to movies and TV.
After the first meeting, the conversation expanded to some local memories about Yinjiang District.
After the second meeting, the topics of their casual chats basically covered most of the things in their daily lives.
After that, whenever they had some free time, they would go out for a drink and look for restaurants in Yinjiang District that they had never tried before.
This way of getting along made Li Luo immersed in it.
There are always some different emotions coming out from deep inside my heart.
But soon, this budding idea was extinguished by himself.
After knowing each other for a long time, Li Luo has a good understanding of Xu Youyu's personality.
She said she is a non-marriage advocate and a single person.
I really enjoy the feeling of living alone, free and carefree.
Apart from typing, I can do whatever I want.
Especially at the final stage of her current book "Gu Dao Chang Qing", she basically only updates one chapter every few days.
When you are stuck in a writer's block, just let it go and do something you like. After you relax, you'll suddenly get inspiration and you'll be able to write a chapter in no time.
Li Luo was quite envious of her.
But after understanding the other person's living habits and goals, some of the fantasies in my heart will naturally be dispelled.
Being able to meet such an outstanding woman online is already like pie in the sky. It would be unreasonable to ask for more.
So after spending some time together, Li Luo calmed down and tried to treat Xu Youyu as a normal friend of the opposite sex. He was not as nervous in their daily interactions as when they first met.
Time quickly passed from the hot summer to the Spring Festival.
After the Chinese New Year, Li Luo received news from Xu Youyu.
[Go to bed early to grow taller]: Are you free the day after tomorrow? !
[Li Luo]: That depends on what it is.
【Going to bed early will make you taller】: What does that mean? Are you still judging people by their appearance?
[Li Luo]: I have to write, sister. If you have something important to say, I will finish writing it one day in advance.
[Going to bed early will make you taller]: Wow~ This is so touching!
[Li Luo]: ...Be more normal, what's going on?
[Going to bed early will make you taller]: Haven’t you read my book?
【Li Luo】: I’m watching.
【Go to bed early and you will grow taller】: Where is the latest chapter? !
[Li Luo]: Let me see... You just updated it a minute ago, how could I have time to read it?!
[Going to bed early will make you taller]: Then look at this!
【Li Luo】: Oh, wait a minute.
Li Luo glanced at the latest chapter of "Gu Dao Chang Qing" and thought it would contain some explosive content, but it turned out to be just an ordinary ending. Some foreshadowings were revealed and some holes were filled.
It was not until the end that Li Luo understood what Xu Youyu meant.
[This book is expected to end with the last chapter! See you in about two days! ]
【Li Luo】: Is it going to end?
[Going to bed early will make you taller]: Hmm~ let’s come out and celebrate when the time comes.
[Li Luo]: Sure, where are we going to eat this time?
[Going to bed early will make you taller]: I was just wondering! I think we have already eaten at all the restaurants nearby!
【Li Luo】: I see.
[Li Luo]: Then I have a presumptuous suggestion, I wonder if you would like to try it.
[Going to bed early will make you taller]: What do you think?
[Li Luo]: Do you have a kitchen over there?
[Going to bed early will make you taller]: Yes, what's wrong?
【Li Luo】: Let me cook you a meal to celebrate your completion.
【Going to bed early will make you taller】: Huh? You can also cook?
……
October 2th, Thursday.
Li Luo took a shower before going out, washed his face with facial cleanser, and shaved his beard carefully.
Lin Xiuhong came back from the breakfast shop to catch up on her sleep. When she saw him in this state, she knew what this guy was going to do.
He usually looks unkempt when typing at home, and only dresses up properly when he goes out to play with the little girl named Xu Youyu.
"What's the matter?" Lin Xiuhong asked casually when she saw him putting on his down jacket and about to go out.
"That's it." Li Luo put on his shoes and opened the door. "I won't be home for dinner. I'm leaving first."
"Got it, let's go."
Lin Xiuhong did not object to Li Luo going to find the little girl named Xu Youyu.
Over the past few months, she has managed to find out everything from Li Luo.
The girl has a strong ability to make money and her family comes from a scholarly family. To put it bluntly, if Li Luo can really pursue her, then their family would be considered marrying above their station.
When thinking of her future daughter-in-law, another slim figure flashed through Lin Xiuhong's mind, and she couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing Li Luo go out, after thinking it over, he took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message.
[Lin Xiuhong]: That boy went out and didn’t even come for dinner.
[Xixi]: Are there cola chicken wings tonight?
[Lin Xiuhong]: Of course there is.
[Xixi]: Then I’ll come after get off work and help Auntie Lin~
Lin Xiuhong looked at the WeChat message and sighed again. She really didn't know what to do.
This girl is also stubborn. As long as Li Luo is here, she will not come over no matter what.
Lin Xiuhong thought for a while and then sent another WeChat message.
[Lin Xiuhong]: He went out on a date with a girl.
[Xixi]: Oh.
This cold reaction...Lin Xiuhong didn't know what to say.
And the other side.
Li Luo walked out of the house, glanced at the door opposite as usual, and then went downstairs.
As a result, before he even reached the subway station, his cell phone vibrated several times.
Li Luo thought it was a message from Xu Youyu, but when he opened his phone, it turned out to be a WeChat message from Zhao Rongjun.
[Zhao Rongjun]: Are you free today? Let's go out for a drink.
[Li Luo]: I’m busy. I have something to do.
[Zhao Rongjun]: What else can you do if you write novels at home?
[Li Luo]: I've made an appointment with someone to have dinner, and I'll ask you out for a drink next time.
[Zhao Rongjun]: Who? You have a new lover, so you abandoned your buddy?
[Li Luo]: What are you thinking about? I’m just a senior who writes online articles.
[Zhao Rongjun]: Male or female?
【Li Luo】: Female.
[Zhao Rongjun]: Is there any situation?
[Li Luo]: You think too much, it’s not true.
[Zhao Rongjun]: I advise you to tell the truth.
[Li Luo]: She also graduated from Qianda University, how could she fall for me?
[Zhao Rongjun]: Huh? Is he my schoolmate? What's his name? Maybe I know him.
[Li Luo]: There is a senior girl who is one year older than you and works in the Department of Literature. Her name is Xu Youyu. You definitely don’t know her.
[Zhao Rongjun]:...Are you sure this is her name?
【Li Luo】:What’s wrong?
[Zhao Rongjun]: She was the president of the student union when I was in high school, and Ying Chanxi took over her position in the second year of high school. [Li Luo]:?
[Li Luo]: Can you please not mention her?
[Zhao Rongjun]: How do you know her?
[Li Luo]: You have too many questions. Let’s talk about it next time when we have a drink.
After entering the subway, Li Luo cut off the topic and then sent a message to Xu Youyu.
[Li Luo]: Take the subway and you’ll be there in a few minutes.
[Going to bed early will make you taller]: Okay, I'm ready to go out too.
At this time in a certain company, Zhao Rongjun took a screenshot and forwarded the chat record to someone.
Seeing the "thank you" from the other party, Zhao Rongjun shook his head helplessly and muttered softly:
"It's been so many years, and these two people are really outrageous."
……
Facing the street on the north side of Yintai City in Yinjiang District, at the gate of Ansheng Home, Li Luo rushed here as soon as he got off the subway and saw Xu Youyu waiting there.
It was a rare occasion that Xu Youyu was not late today, after all, the gathering was at the gate of the community where she rented a house.
At this time, she was wearing a short snow-white down jacket, paired with a high-necked beige sweater, and a pair of high-waisted jeans on the lower body, which made her legs look slender.
The waistband of the pants extends all the way to the waist, and the full curve of the chest is tightly wrapped in the beige sweater when the zipper of the down jacket opens and closes, looming, like a black hole that can attract people's attention.
Xu Youyu has a perfect figure. Apart from not liking sports and having a slight belly, there is almost nothing wrong with him.
Li Luo didn't know why this homebody who stayed at home all day could maintain such a figure.
At this time, the two met up. Xu Youyu saw Li Luo walking towards him from the subway entrance, so he waved to him happily and walked towards him.
"Wuhu~Let's go, let's go buy some groceries!"
Xu Youyu came in front of Li Luo, patted his shoulder, and walked towards Yintai City opposite impatiently, with a happy look on his face, looking very excited.
"I'm just going to buy some vegetables, why are you so excited?" Li Luo laughed as he looked at Xu Youyu who was jumping in front and made a little complaint.
Xu Youyu turned his head back and laughed, "When I was writing Gu Dao Chang Qing, I got stuck in the later stages and my scalp was numb. I was losing my hair every day!"
"Now that I'm finally free, how can I not be happy?!"
"Today I am going to eat and play to my heart's content! You should walk faster!"
"Here I come." Li Luo caught up with Xu Youyu's brisk footsteps and was very envious of his living conditions.
It would be great if I could rent a house and live alone someday.
Li Luo thought so in his mind, but his current financial strength could not support him to make this decision.
Although the average subscription of 6000 novels now brings in considerable income, he is not confident that he can maintain the same performance for his next book.
In comparison, Xu Youyu, whose own strength level is already online, will have a good new book as long as he performs normally, and he does not have to worry about money at all.
"What are you thinking about?" On the way to the fresh food supermarket on the basement floor of Yintai City, Xu Youyu looked at Li Luo strangely, "You look like you have a lot on your mind."
"I'm just a little envious of Sister Youyu." Li Luo sighed, and thinking that today was the day to celebrate the completion of her work, he quickly swept away his dejection and changed the subject, asking, "So Sister Youyu, have you decided what to write in your next book?"
"Well~" Xu Youyu raised his head and thought for a while, then said, "I wrote "Gu Dao Chang Qing" and had enough fun. I don't want to write this kind of upgrade article anymore. I plan to try my hand at entertainment again."
"Eh?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment. "It took a lot of effort to transform from entertainment to a big track like spiritual energy revival, why are you thinking about going back?"
"I don't think about this kind of thing when I write books. What's important is that I enjoy writing them." Xu Youyu shook his head, then smiled, "Besides, entertainment literature has a very fixed audience group, so the performance is still very guaranteed. At most, the upper limit is not high. And I plan to try something else this time."
"What else?"
"I plan to write about the Dream of the Red Chamber." Xu Youyu raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "The protagonist goes back to the last century to make a living, and I won't write about the entertainment industry at the beginning of the century."
"This is quite rare." Li Luo pondered for a moment, still unsure of what the subject matter was like, and did not dare to make a random judgment.
Xu Youyu didn't expect Li Luo to give any good advice, so after mentioning it, he brought the topic back to today's celebration:
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this. I just finished it, so I need to at least have some fun and enjoy myself for a few months!"
The two walked into the fresh food supermarket. Li Luo also put the previous topic behind him and began to select ingredients. As he walked, he asked, "What kind of home-cooked dishes does Sister Yu prefer?"
"Hmm... well." Xu Youyu thought for a moment, then said, "How about stir-fried pork with green peppers? I prefer this kind of dish to go with rice."
"No problem." Li Luo nodded and picked a piece of pork tenderloin and some green peppers.
Xu Youyu followed and watched curiously. Apparently, he rarely came to places like this. “Can you make Mapo Tofu? My mom can’t make it, but I quite like it.”
"Oh, this." Li Luo nodded, indicating that it was no problem. "Of course I can make it. If you want to eat it, I'll buy some tofu."
"Great!" Xu Youyu followed along, jumping and skipping. He didn't seem to be here to buy vegetables, but rather to visit an amusement park.
Li Luo glanced at her and laughed, "Don't you usually cook for yourself at home?"
"Definitely not." Xu Youyu shook his head repeatedly, "I usually eat takeout."
"Wait." Li Luo couldn't help but ask after hearing this, "So do you have kitchenware at home?"
"Yes, I do." Xu Youyu nodded. "The landlord left a set of kitchen utensils. They look quite new. I hardly used them. At most, I made some instant noodles or something."
"Where's the seasoning?"
"Forehead……"
"Okay, I understand." Li Luo said helplessly, "Let's buy them all later."
"Hey, then I'll leave it to you!" Xu Youyu patted Li Luo's shoulder, waved his hand, and handed all these things over to him. He happily became a hands-off boss and only took out a few bottles of beer when he passed by the wine cabinet.
"Anything else you want to eat?" Li Luo looked at the beer in her hand, and asked again without saying anything.
"I've already ordered two dishes, and the two of us can't eat much, so you can pick two that you like." Xu Youyu said.
"Then..." Li Luo glanced at the dishes nearby, and without thinking too much, he subconsciously said, "Coke chicken wings, and then tomato scrambled eggs?"
"all right."
After buying vegetables, the two people came out of the fresh food supermarket, each holding two large bags in their hands.
Li Luo followed Xu Youyu, crossed the road, and came to the gate of Ansheng Home Community, where Xu Youyu took her to the downstairs of her home.
"There are four households on one floor here. I rented an 80-square-meter two-bedroom apartment in..."
"The 18th floor, right?" Li Luo put the plastic bag in his left hand into his right hand, then freed one hand and pressed the elevator button for the 18th floor.
Xu Youyu, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment, a little surprised: "How did you know?"
"You mentioned it when we met for the second time." Li Luo said, "Didn't you even open the window and say hello to me across the street?"
"Oh, that's right." Xu Youyu smiled knowingly when he recalled it.
But although Li Luo looked relaxed on the surface, he was actually quite nervous.
If we exclude the experience of visiting the neighbors every day when he was a child, this was probably the first time he visited the home of a girl of the same age.
Especially if the other person lives alone.
They even drank some wine...
Thinking of this, all kinds of messy things subconsciously emerged in Li Luo's mind.
It wasn't until the elevator door opened and Xu Youyu called him out that Li Luo came back to his senses.
"Here we are. This is Room 1802." Xu Youyu went straight to the door of Room 1802, which was opposite the elevator door. He unlocked the door with his fingerprint and it opened.
next second.
Before Li Luo could see the inside of the house clearly, he heard a meow.
Then Xu Youyu skillfully stretched out his foot and hooked the belly of a tabby cat that wanted to escape from prison, and kicked it back into the house.
"OK, the door opening mission is complete, follow me in."
Xu Youyu was holding two plastic bags in his hands. He could only lean sideways to push the door open. He turned his head and smiled at Li Luo, "Except for the innermost bedroom on the right, you can go anywhere else. You are welcome to visit my home."
