Chapter 545: Let’s just talk about the book, why are we getting started?
After the plane landed, Li Luo and his group of seven picked up their suitcases and took a car to the Grand Hyatt Hotel near Wangfujing to check in.
Along the way, Lin Xiuhong looked left and right, occasionally making a sound of admiration, with a lot of emotion in her heart.
If we go back to more than two years ago, Lin Xiuhong, who had to get up at three or four in the morning every day to work in the breakfast shop, probably would never have imagined that her life would undergo such a drastic change two years later.
Given their family’s financial situation two years ago, how could they have the conditions and time to travel?
Even if you really want to travel, the best you can do is take a stroll around West Lake in the city, which is already pretty good.
But now, Lin Xiuhong has been to Changning City, which is the closest to Yuhang City, and has seen the prosperous metropolis.
I went to an island like Qiongzhou City, saw the sea view, tried diving, and soaked in hot springs.
I just went to Yuzhong City this summer vacation and experienced the spicy hot pot and the mountain city buildings that looked like a 3D maze.
And at this moment, we have arrived in the heart of our country's capital.
Li Luo basically did not discuss the specific arrangements with his parents when planning this trip.
When Lin Xiuhong entered the hotel room, she found that it was much larger than any other hotel she had stayed in before.
When you walk into the room, you can't even see where the bed is at first glance. The first thing you see is a very spacious living room with a sofa and an LCD TV, and a huge desk by the window.
Only after turning around the living room can you see a soft and spacious bed. When you open the curtains and look outside, you can see the magnificent scenery of Wangfujing at a glance. When you look into the distance, you can even vaguely see the outline of the Forbidden City.
After putting the suitcase in the living room, Lin Xiuhong stood by the window and sighed again.
Li Guohong, who was standing next to him, walked over and took a look at his wife, then laughed, "When we were young, we said we would come to the capital for a trip after we got married. Now you've fulfilled your promise?"
"How dare you say that?" Lin Xiuhong couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "You only benefited from your son's help. Otherwise, I would still be suffering with you."
"Didn't we raise our son?" Li Guohong hugged Lin Xiuhong and said with a smile, "It's all our own credit after all."
"Go away, your chin is prickly." Lin Xiuhong pushed him away with a look of disgust, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
On the other side, Cui Suling opened the suitcase, took out some things she needed, and then looked at Xu Rongsheng who was sitting at the desk.
"Youyu, it's been more than a month since you started college. How is your performance in school?"
"Why don't you ask her directly?" Xu Rongsheng glanced at his wife. "I'm the vice-dean, not the counselor of their class. How can I know so much?"
"You don't even care about your own daughter." Cui Suling rolled her eyes, "Don't let anyone bully you right under your nose."
"Just don't bully others." Xu Rongsheng laughed, "I heard from Lao Li that she often took her roommates to Lao Li's hot pot restaurant for dinner, and never paid."
"This damn girl!" Cui Suling was immediately anxious when she heard this, "Why is she so shameless?"
"Old Li asked the store manager not to charge money." Xu Rongsheng said slowly, "Their family doesn't lack this now, but they are starting to enjoy their spiritual needs."
"Before, they only had a cooperative relationship with our college, but later they sponsored some activities in the college."
"This semester, I teamed up with the Work-Study Program and was offered a few part-time waiter positions in the store."
"Oh, by the way, there's also the milk tea shop opened by Li Luo's uncle. The first sponsorship your precious daughter got after joining the External Relations Department came from here."
After hearing this, Cui Suling couldn't help but mutter, "This girl doesn't know how to be ashamed? You know it very well, don't you?"
"I heard about this from Old Li when we were having dinner together. I don't have the time to ask about this." Xu Rongsheng waved his hand. "Anyway, your daughter is having a good life in school. Don't worry about her."
……
"This room is so big." Xu Youyu's eyes lit up as he entered the room. After unpacking his suitcase, he ran to the desk, "It will be convenient for me to write at night."
"Senior, do you still need to write when you travel?" Ying Chanxi looked puzzled, "Don't you have any manuscripts saved?"
Xu Youyu: "...Don't say such hurtful words anymore."
Although she had managed to save more than 10,000 manuscripts before publishing the book, after more than half a month of consumption, the manuscripts were no longer there!
Especially now that it is a new book, her book is still on the recommended list of the platform, so she must not stop updating.
So even if he went out to travel during the National Day holiday, Xu Youyu still had to continue working hard on typing.
Fortunately, my ideas were clearer during the new book period, the outline was relatively complete, and the characters and plots had not yet been laid out, so it was relatively easier to write.
If you write 4,000 words a day, you can finish it in two or three hours if your thoughts are clear.
"Have you packed your things?"
Just as Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu were chatting and packing their luggage, Li Luo knocked on the door.
Ying Chanxi came to the door and opened it, then heard Li Luo say, "This place is very close to Tiananmen Square, we can go for a walk in the afternoon."
"Okay, just wait a moment." Ying Chanxi welcomed Li Luo into the room, then turned around and took out everything he needed from his suitcase and put it away.
After finishing the packing, the three of them went to meet up with Lin Xiuhong and the others. The group of seven walked out of the hotel, strolled on the streets of Jingzhao City, and soon arrived at the Tiananmen Gate Tower.
After all, it was National Day. Even though there were not as many people as when the national flag was raised in the morning, there were still crowds of people in front of Tiananmen Square.
Xu Rongsheng had been here once when he was young, but except for him, everyone else present was here for the first time.
Well... this is Li Luo's second time here. In his previous life, he came here with Xu Youyu and even stayed up late to queue up to watch the flag-raising ceremony.
However, it was indeed the first time in two lifetimes that I watched it with my parents.
Looking at his parents' gaze towards the Tiananmen Gate Tower, Li Luo smiled and once again felt the meaning of rebirth.
Then he looked at Ying Chanxi again, and seeing that she looked towards Tiananmen Square with a hint of loneliness in her eyes, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"I'm fine." Ying Chanxi shook her head gently, glanced at Li Guohong and his wife, then looked at Xu Youyu and his family of three, pursed her lips, and finally whispered to Li Luo, "It would be nice if Dad could come too."
"Ahem...Uncle Ying is busy with something." Although he could guess where Ying Zhicheng was right now, Li Luo still tried his best to cover for his future father-in-law.
Unfortunately, what Li Luo didn't know was that Ying Chanxi already knew all this clearly.
Therefore, after hearing what Li Luo said, Ying Chanxi just snorted lightly, and then stopped mentioning the matter, and silently put his little hand into Li Luo's palm.
Standing behind the four parents, Li Luo held Ying Chanxi's hand tightly and whispered in her ear: "It's okay, I will always be with you."
The seven of them took a walk around Tiananmen Square, and then returned to Wangfujing in the evening, where they went to Quanjude to eat roast duck.
I don’t know if it’s because of the brand value, but it tastes okay anyway.
In addition, Ying Zhicheng brought Yuan Wanqing and Yan Zhusheng, and the three of them also had dinner together.
Ten people gathered together, and the atmosphere of the dinner was quite good. After dinner, everyone strolled around Wangfujing Commercial Street to digest the food.
After returning to the hotel, Xu Youyu began to type frantically.
Not only does she have to finish today's 4,000-word update, but she also has to visit the Forbidden City tomorrow and watch Yuan Wanqing's concert in the evening, so she also has to finish tomorrow's 4,000-word update in advance.
Ying Chanxi did not disturb Xu Youyu. After taking a shower in the room, he took his cell phone and ran out of the room and went to Li Luo's room.
As for Yuan Wanqing and Yan Zhusheng, they had rehearsals in the evening and disappeared after dinner.
“Are you typing too?”
After knocking on the door, Ying Chanxi walked into Li Luo's room and saw the laptop she bought for Li Luo on his desk.
"No." Li Luo shook his head. "I've been out playing these past few days, so I won't be writing for the time being. It's just that I have nothing to do right now, so I'm planning something for the new book."
"Oh yeah, I heard you talking about this with your senior this afternoon." Ying Chanxi sat down on the bed and looked at Li Luo curiously, "Why don't you write something about ancient fantasy or something like that?"
"Everything I want to write about urban genres has already been written in I'm Really Not a Celebrity." Li Luo said with a meaningful smile.
Ying Chanxi blinked, probably guessed something, and immediately hummed, turned around, and crawled into Li Luo's bed.
"So what exactly are you going to write about in your new book?" Ying Chanxi asked curiously.
"Where are we now?" Li Luo pointed to the ground below him.
"In the hotel."
"I'm asking in which city?"
"Jingzhao City." Ying Chanxi said, "It's our capital."
"The capital." Li Luo nodded. "Or the capital. Throughout history, many major events of dynasties have taken place in the capital of a country."
"My new book is probably centered around the capital. It starts with a small figure in a certain exclusive organization under the emperor, and grows up little by little."
"It's just that I still need to prepare a lot of information to enrich the story."
"I think I understand." Ying Chanxi nodded. "So will there be a female lead?"
"Of course there is."
"There are still many female protagonists?" Ying Chanxi asked with narrowed eyes.
"Well..." Li Luo pondered for a moment, "I have considered the copyright impact in this regard. Rather than saying she is the heroine, it is better to say she is a confidante."
The charm of a female character often lies in the fact that she has not yet been obtained by the protagonist.
This unavailability can be purely physical, or it can be spiritual and emotional.
When a female character is completely devoted to the protagonist with all her heart and soul, that is when her charm as a character is completely exhausted.
Compared to this, Li Luo wanted to highlight the charm of a female character as a "supporting role" rather than just her sexual charm.
"So what kind of story will it be?" Ying Chanxi asked again.
"The main plot is probably the old-fashioned story of overthrowing the old emperor, supporting a female emperor to take the throne, and finally saving the people." Li Luo said with a smile.
Then he walked to the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down, then hugged Ying Chanxi in his arms.
"What are you doing?" Ying Chanxi's face turned slightly red and she struggled for a while, but she seemed to be reluctant and finally leaned on Li Luo's chest.
"Let me tell you in detail about some of my current ideas."
"Just tell me, why are you holding me?"
"If I tell you this in your ear, you should listen carefully." Li Luo hugged Ying Chanxi's soft body tightly, and his hands became a little dishonest.
After Ying Chanxi held down the thief's hand with a red face, Li Luo cleared his throat and continued, "I have read a lot of ancient cases recently, and I plan to start from this aspect."
"case?"
"They are just some unjust, false and wrong cases, or some famous serious cases in history." Li Luo put his hand into Ying Chanxi's skirt and stroked her flat and smooth belly. "Take the old emperor as the big boss, start with some small cases in the early stage, lay the foreshadowing little by little, and finally support a huge network and close it at the climax."
In his previous life, Li Luo often talked with Xu Youyu about some theoretical techniques of online writing.
There is a lot to talk about regarding secondary and tertiary structures.
What impressed Li Luo the most was probably the main storyline framework which was simplified to "killing the emperor".
This is the case with "The Son-in-Law", "Lord of Mysteries" and "The Night Watchman of Dafeng".
Starting from the early first-level structure, the protagonist only participated in some small events, and after resolving them, he only dealt with some small BOSSes.
Although he discovered something was wrong, he was unable to delve deeper due to his low status.
After several primary structures, we come to a secondary structure, which reveals deeper inside information.
After laying out several secondary structures, it is finally revealed that behind many cases, there is actually an invisible big hand plotting something.
The culprit behind all the unjust, false and wrong cases in the past that caused so much suffering turned out to be the master of the entire world.
The long-term accumulation of emotions, until the explosion at the last moment, will turn into an unstoppable torrent, pushing the protagonist to the climax of "killing the emperor".
The tertiary structure is completed.
This thing sounds simple, but when it comes to actual practice, it is full of difficulties.
Li Luo was chatting about these things with Ying Chanxi on the bed. Ying Chanxi listened with a vague understanding and occasionally responded.
As the night deepened, Ying Chanxi felt his cheeks getting hotter and hotter. He pursed his lips tightly and his eyes gradually became moist.
Those thieving hands were no longer on her belly.
"In the end, the protagonist, with his sword, cut his way through a bloody path until he reached the Meridian Gate, where he personally cut off the emperor's dog head in front of all the dignitaries."
Ying Chanxi listened to the story slowly being told by Li Luo, and finally her little mouth couldn't hold it in anymore. She opened it slightly, gasping for breath and making humming sounds.
"You... have you touched enough?" Ying Chanxi's cheeks were flushed, his eyes were blurred, and he felt his whole body was burning hot.
My head is about to go dizzy.
