Chapter 556 Don’t Go Back Tonight

The selection exams were over and the concert was over, and for the next half month, life returned to normal.

Every morning, I would get up and go to the school playground with the two girls, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, for a morning run, and then go to the cafeteria to have breakfast.

After arriving at the classroom, the day's study life begins.

Although he said he was learning about life, Li Luo actually had nothing to learn now.

You don't need to attend any of the three elective courses. Among the three main courses of Chinese, math and English, you basically don't need to attend English, and there's not much use in attending Chinese.

After all, for simple questions, the memory palace is enough. Things like reading comprehension or composition cannot be improved much by relying on a Chinese teacher alone.

Many Chinese teachers hold reference answers and talk about reading comprehension in great detail.

If he is really allowed to do the questions without looking at the answers, it is unknown how many points he can get from the teacher who sets the questions.

Therefore, Li Luo now mainly does some math problems to keep his touch.

Focus on the difficulty of the last one or two questions in the multiple-choice fill-in-the-blank section.

Or it could be the type of the last big question, adding to your own database.

By the way, I also reviewed the contents of the college entrance examination papers that I took in my previous life, just to be prepared.

Because of the butterfly effect after rebirth, there is a high probability that the content of the college entrance examination papers in this life will undergo some changes.

But if some questions remain unchanged, that would definitely be the best.

But it doesn't take much time just to do the math problems.

So when Li Luo was bored during class, he would organize information in the memory palace and work on the settings and framework of his new book.

When Xu Youyu has nothing to do on weekends, the two of them would talk about the new book.

Not only will we talk about Li Luo's new book, but we will also talk about Xu Youyu's current new book.

It has been more than a month since Xu Youyu published the book in the middle of last month.

It will be put on the shelves and charged in early November.

Now with over 13 words, the plot has gradually gotten better. The protagonist has made great progress in his cultivation and occasionally shows off in front of other supporting characters.

But Xu Youyu's way of pretending is not as stiff as those of the newbies, and he prefers understated side descriptions.

This is more in line with the image of the protagonist as a hermit who begins to practice after the revival of spiritual energy.

All the data of "Gu Dao Chang Qing" are steadily increasing.

This benefited from Xu Youyu’s accumulation of the previous book and Li Luo’s help in promoting the chapter.

In addition, the novel theme of her book, "Aura Revival", coupled with the high-quality content, allowed her to stay in the top three of the new book list for a full month.

It even reached the top for less than a week, and the follow-up reading data also steadily increased to around 6,000.

Compared with the data from the previous book's new edition, this new book can be said to be a leap forward.

At this point, Xu Youyu's heart, which had been a little worried, finally calmed down completely, and he continued to update step by step.

……

At the end of October, the midterm examination of the first grade of Affiliated High School was over.

Li Luo stood in front of the bulletin board on the first floor of the senior high school teaching building, looking at the midterm exam score rankings, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Ying Chanxi next to him smiled and whispered, "Another improvement. This time we are only 3 points behind."

"Why do I feel a little proud in your tone?" Li Luo turned his head and squinted at her.

"No way." Ying Chanxi looked away guiltily, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, showing her happy mood.

Now on weekdays, Li Luo always likes to bully her, and especially likes to pin her down completely and then do some bad things.

But the only thing he could do better than Li Luo was exams.

This allowed Ying Chanxi to regain some of his face.

"The parents' meeting will be held next Saturday." Li Luo ended the discussion of grades and asked, "Is Uncle Ying coming this time?"

"Yeah." Ying Chanxi nodded gently, "Dad said he's free next Saturday, so I can come and join you."

"My mother also said she wanted to come." Yan Zhusheng on the other side said suddenly.

After saying this, the corners of Li Luo's mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to look into the two girls' eyes for fear of revealing any flaws.

But he didn't notice that Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng looked at each other, and they both knew what this meant.

With Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng's current performance, it wouldn't matter even if Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing didn't come to participate.

But this time it happened.

Attending the parent-teacher meeting was probably just a side thing; the more important thing was for the two of them to be able to get together.

Otherwise, Yuan Wanqing is now flying all over the country and holding concerts, so why would she need to make a special trip back to Yuhang City?
Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng both knew about this matter, but their attitudes towards it were somewhat different.

Yan Zhusheng was happy to see it happen and did not have much objection.

In comparison, Ying Chanxi is more contradictory.

On the one hand, she felt that her parents had a very good relationship since she was a child, and Ying Zhicheng had always been a reliable father.

Their family visits the grave three times a year, once on Qingming Festival, once on their mother's death anniversary, and once during the Chinese New Year, and they never miss a day.

Ying Chanxi always felt that his father always loved his mother, so he would never fall in love with another woman.

But on the other hand, reason told her that her mother had been dead for more than ten years.

And I am about to become an adult, and after I go to university and even start a family in the future, I will leave my original family and no longer live with Ying Zhicheng.

In the future, when Ying Zhicheng enters old age, he will need a companion so that he won't be lonely.

It’s actually a good thing to find a suitable partner again after being widowed for more than ten years.

But emotionally speaking, Ying Chanxi would be a little sad.

In particular, she couldn't imagine when Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing started to get together.

How long did you keep it a secret from her?
This made her feel betrayed for no reason and she felt very upset.

Ever since he discovered this incident during the summer vacation, Ying Chanxi has deliberately made himself forget about it and ignored it as much as possible.

But at this parent-teacher meeting, his father said he wanted to attend, which made Ying Chanxi realize the existence of this matter again.

My mood suddenly became bad.

However, Ying Chanxi did not show his emotions on his face. After pursing his lips slightly, he returned to normal.

Li Luo then said, "Then I'll tell my mom that since Uncle Ying and Aunt Yuan are coming, we can have a meal together at home."

"Okay." Ying Chanxi nodded calmly, "I'll tell Dad." Yan Zhusheng also nodded. Although she felt that even if she didn't tell her mother, her mother would find out from Ying Zhicheng, she still felt that she had to pretend.

"The registration for your provincial unified examination is about to begin, right? Don't forget it when the time comes." On the way back to the classroom, Li Luo thought of this matter again and reminded Yan Zhusheng.

"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded in response, "I remember it, and the teacher will remind me."

After returning to the classroom, Li Luo went to the office on the fifth floor again.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Kong Junxiang fiddling with a small box.

Li Luo took a closer look and found a diamond ring in the box. He immediately raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

Kong Junxiang was startled and quickly put the box away. He looked around and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that no one else had noticed it.

"How come you didn't even knock on the door before coming in?" Kong Junxiang said unhappily.

"I saw the door was open and Teacher Kong looked serious, so I didn't disturb you." Li Luo said with a smile, "When do you plan to give this diamond ring to Teacher Ding?"

"Ahem... don't tell anyone yet." Kong Junxiang nervously raised his finger to remind him not to spread the news. After thinking about it, he said, "I was planning to let you know."

"Since you've seen it, I should tell you in advance."

"But after you know this, don't tell anyone else."

When Li Luo heard this, he immediately made an OK gesture, indicating that it was okay: "It's just a proposal, you tell me what to do."

"It's like this..." Kong Junxiang pondered for a moment, and finally spoke in a low voice, "It's only two months before the New Year's Eve party. I plan to propose to you at the party. What do you think?"

"Very good." Li Luo nodded in agreement, but still said, "But there is one thing I have to remind Teacher Kong."

"How to say?"

"Confession of love is not the clarion call for a charge, but the call to retreat after victory." Li Luo said logically, "The same is true for proposing marriage."

Kong Junxiang is a Chinese teacher, so he naturally understood what Li Luo meant immediately.

"You kid." Kong Junxiang laughed and shook his head, "In fact, your teacher Ding and I have already met each other's parents in private. Everything is tacitly agreed. The only thing missing is this ceremony."

"Oh, then I'm relieved." Li Luo smiled happily, "Then how is Mr. Kong going to propose? I have a good idea."

Kong Junxiang knew that this guy had many ideas, and when he heard this, his eyes lit up: "Tell me about it."

……

October 10st, near the early hours of the morning.

As October is about to pass, Xu Youyu is sitting at the desk in his bedroom, looking at the computer screen in front of him and rubbing his hands nervously.

Because they had to go to school the next day, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng went to bed early.

But Xu Youyu hadn't gone to bed yet because his new book was about to be put on the shelves.

Li Luo also accompanied her. At this time, he fried two servings of fried noodles in the kitchen and made a plate of cola chicken wings as a side dish, which he brought into Xu Youyu's room.

With the two cocktails prepared earlier, Li Luo placed them on the empty space on the desk and said with a smile, "Eat something first to fill your stomach. There is no rush to upload it. Just upload it when the time comes."

"It's not your book, so of course you don't have to be in a hurry." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, but still happily picked up the plate and started eating the fried noodles.

Add a piece of cola chicken wing and a sip of cocktail, and this midnight snack will taste pretty good.

Her book now has 18 words, and the book will be available for sale early this morning, allowing paid chapters to be published.

Now is the time to wait for midnight to arrive.

Li Luo was quite accurate in calculating the time for making midnight snacks. When the two of them were halfway through their meal, it was already 11:1 in the morning of November 0st.

Xu Youyu refreshed the writer's backend page several times, and after confirming that the permission to put the work on the shelves had been opened, he immediately uploaded the three chapters of 6000 words of content that he had written in advance.

"I saw in your remarks on the publication that you wanted to have 6000 words a day on the first day, so how come it's only words?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"These 6000 words are all I have used up in the past few days," Xu Youyu said with a squinting look, "Besides, if I write another words tonight, won't that make it exactly words?"

“You’re good at math.”

"Humph!" Xu Youyu continued to eat noodles, not forgetting to kick Li Luo, "Who do you think is you? A tentacle monster!"

"I just recommended your chapter and made you a midnight snack, and you treat me like this?" Li Luo said innocently.

"How dare you say that?" Xu Youyu couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Readers who came from your side all teased me and asked me when I would update 50 chapters a day. You really don't treat the author as a human being!"

"It's just a joke." Li Luo said with a smile.

To be honest, with the value of his current 30 manuscripts, it would be easy for him to replicate the feat of updating 50 chapters with words a day.

It's just that it's not necessary.

Steady and steady progress is the right way to go.

He currently has a long novel of five or six million words, and there are still many plots planned for the follow-up, which feels enough for him to write until it reaches tens of millions of words.

Maybe it can be used as a family heirloom in the future.

"Let's take a look at the results." Li Luo said to Xu Youyu after about ten minutes had passed since the two of them finished their midnight snack.

Xu Youyu couldn't wait to refresh the background data, and the three most recently updated paid chapters showed the subscription data.

Among them, the number of subscriptions for the first chapter has successfully exceeded 300 in just ten minutes.

As time went by, around one o'clock in the morning, the original three hundred had exceeded one thousand.

According to this data, the first order results of Xu Youyu's new book will most likely exceed 5,000.

To be honest, the performance of their two new books is much better.

Even Li Luo's "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" only received more than 2,000 first orders when it was first released.

The main reason for his success was the initial popularity of the song "Annual Rings" and the subsequent song collaboration with Yuan Wanqing, which brought in additional traffic.

However, this time, Xu Youyu's new book has made a breakthrough based on its real strength.

Although it was also helped by Li Luo's promotion of the chapter and the innovative bonus of the theme of spiritual energy revival, it was also enough to show Xu Youyu's own ability level.

"It looks like it's stable." Li Luo smiled when he saw the data and patted Xu Youyu on the shoulder. "With 5,000 subscriptions, if you work hard for two or three months, you should be able to get 10,000 subscriptions soon. Maybe I'll call you "Go to Bed Early" soon."

"How ugly." Xu Youyu rolled her eyes, but looking at the data displayed on the writer's assistant, her mood also became better.

Reaching out and picking up the cocktail glass on the desk, Xu Youyu opened QQ Music, found a suitable song, then stood up and turned to Li Luo, motioning him to hold the glass.

Li Luo also picked up his glass, and the two of them clinked their glasses lightly before drinking the rest of the cocktail.

Then Xu Youyu gently stood on tiptoes, put his arms around Li Luo's neck, and kissed her with his sweet lips.

"Don't go back tonight?" Xu Youyu laughed softly.
