Chapter 599: Where did the fourth woman come from?
After the release of "Daqian Night Patrol", Li Luo's life remained the same as usual without much change.
It just gave the students in the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School something more to talk about during their casual conversations.
Most girls are not very interested in the books written by Li Luo.
The same is true for the previous "I'm Really Not a Celebrity". If many people hadn't found out later that the prototypes of the male and female protagonists in the drama were Li Luo and someone around him, many girls probably wouldn't have watched it seriously.
However, "Little Joy" is popular among both boys and girls, and many students from the Affiliated High School No. 1 watched it very seriously.
Before, "Little Joy" came to the school to film, and many people were looking forward to the day when it would be released.
The appearance of "Daqian Night Patrol" has set off a new wave of enthusiasm for watching the series among the boys of Affiliated No. 1 Middle School.
Not all little boys like the kind of fame gained by plagiarizing like in "I'm Really Not a Celebrity".
But in a drama like "Daqian Night Patrol", where she is the fiancée of a big family, Princess Zhaoyang, the dragon girl of the Dragon Palace and the lord of the fox demon in the Ten Thousand Mountains in the South, it actually attracts the attention of these passionate young people even more.
In addition, the protagonist is a government official, and was later absorbed into the Night Patrol Department directly under the emperor.
With the investigative experience from his previous life and the golden finger's ability to judge injustice, he solved cases like a god and quickly established himself as a righteous person.
Although Li Luo also described some contents such as the Jiaofangsi, he did not completely copy the handling methods of Dafeng.
In those days, readers’ demands for pushing women were not as persistent as in later generations.
And if you look carefully at the emotional line of the book Dafeng, you will find something very interesting.
In the early and middle stages of the story, apart from going to the Jiaofangsi to hang out with the girls, the protagonist didn't push any of the main female characters in the plot.
That's the beauty of selling newspapers.
The existence of the Jiaofangsi, in addition to being required by the plot, actually serves as proof that "the male protagonist is not a eunuch."
"My protagonist is not a eunuch, he will act when required," this is the message that the newspaper seller wants to convey to readers through the content of the Jiaofangsi.
But in fact, the more attractive female characters in the plot, such as the two princesses, the two female disciples of the supervisor, the princess in the back, the saint of Tianzong, the head of Daozong...
All of these characters, in the early and middle stages, with more than two million words, not a single one was promoted.
It was not until the climax of the book, in which the protagonist kills the emperor, that the foreshadowing of the Taoist leader's dual cultivation began.
Many laymen say that selling newspapers depends on driving and telling dirty jokes, which is understandable.
It would be stupid for authors in the circle to think so.
In his previous life, Li Luo often talked about these things with Xu Youyu, and learned these little knowledge from her.
Most outsiders can only see the surface of the internal logic of many popular books.
If you really want to learn how to drive like a newspaper seller, your grades won't be very good even if your book isn't banned.
Li Luo had been trained by Xu Youyu in his previous life, so he would not take detours in this regard.
Otherwise, simply absorbing the popular elements of various hit books may not necessarily lead to the ability to write high-quality online articles.
"So there is no role for me in the new book?" Yan Zhusheng asked Li Luo seriously while chatting after class.
"It's in the old books."
"Where's the new book?" Yan Zhusheng insisted, and then said, "I think that fiancée is very suitable for me."
"The family of the fiancée is an old friend of the protagonist's family, but the protagonist's family has fallen into decline in recent years." Ying Chanxi in the front row turned his head, obviously also reading the new book seriously.
After saying this, she continued, "If we really want to say who is the right person for a fiancée, it won't be you, Zhu Sheng, right?"
"How come it's not?" Yan Zhusheng blinked and said seriously, "My family and Li Luo's family are also old friends."
Ying Chanxi: “…”
Li Luo: “…”
What a great old friend!
As expected, it’s Yan Zhusheng.
When Ying Chanxi heard this, the corner of his eye twitched.
You are just an adopted family friend! How dare you say that?
Qiao Xinyan next to him was even more confused: "How come Zhu Sheng and Li Luo are family friends?"
"Because I'm Xixi's cousin." Yan Zhusheng said, "Xixi and I are from the same family. Xixi and Li Luo's family are old friends, so I am one too."
Can it still be calculated this way?
After hearing this, Qiao Xinyan was a little amused and helpless. Then, looking at her best friend's speechless face, Qiao Xinyan immediately covered her mouth and laughed.
"The fiancée in the book is more like Xixi." This was the official approval from the author. Li Luo glanced at Ying Chanxi, who looked a little depressed, and said with a smile.
"After the protagonist was imprisoned, although his fiancée had never seen him since childhood, she still asked people to use their connections to find a way to rescue the protagonist and his family."
"This aspect of my personality is more in line with Xixi's."
When Ying Chanxi heard Li Luo's approval, his original depression suddenly disappeared. A slightly smug smile appeared on his face, and he deliberately glanced at his sister.
Yan Zhusheng was a little unconvinced, so he continued to ask: "What about the others you mentioned in your introduction?"
"The others." Li Luo thought for a moment, his eyes fell on Yan Zhusheng's delicate face, and then he concluded, "You should be more like the Dragon King's daughter in the Dragon Palace."
He is ignorant of worldly affairs, stays in his bedroom all year round, and rarely communicates with outsiders, which causes his thinking circuits to be different from those of ordinary people.
Although Li Luo did not try to stick to the original style when writing the book, he still subconsciously used elements he was familiar with when he actually started writing.
"What about the senior sister?" Yan Zhusheng asked curiously.
"A fox demon." Li Luo said, "After transforming into a human, it borrowed the body of a daughter of a noble family, sneaked into the Luming Academy in the imperial city, and secretly learned the classics of the human race."
"So the female talent in Luming Academy that I wrote about recently is actually a fox demon?" Ying Chanxi added, and then he showed a look of sudden realization, and couldn't help but whispered, "And she deliberately seduced the protagonist."
“Hey, hey, hey…” Li Luo quickly raised his hand to stop Ying Chanxi, “Don’t spoil the plot, I won’t say any more.”
"Who is Princess Zhaoyang?" Yan Zhusheng asked in confusion, "There are already three of them, why is there one more?"
After hearing what Yan Zhusheng said, Ying Chanxi narrowed his eyes instantly and looked at Li Luo with a dangerous look: "Oh, right, why are there four female protagonists this time?"
"What are you thinking? Did I say there were several female protagonists?" Li Luo was speechless. "Besides, this time we are writing a serious drama about the court and the underworld, so the emotional scenes will be relatively restrained."
"On the surface, there is only one obvious love storyline between the male protagonist and his fiancée."
"Other important female characters will only be important figures in the main storyline, not just sexual conquest objects for the male protagonist."
"The emotional content will probably be dealt with later or in a separate episode."
In this regard, Li Luo is also laying the foundation for possible film and television adaptations in the future.
He writes harem novels, but tries to focus on the main storyline as much as possible, with the emotional line focusing on the story between the male protagonist and his fiancée.
Try to just touch upon other people's love lines briefly and pass them over in passing.
If you want to expand, go to the extra chapters.
As a result, when Ying Chanxi heard that the main plot was mainly about the relationship with his fiancée, his face suddenly lit up and he nodded in agreement: "I think this idea is very good."
Yan Zhusheng was a little unhappy and said bluntly: "If my fiancée was writing about me, Xixi would definitely not say that." "I, I am speaking purely from a creative perspective, Zhusheng, don't talk nonsense." Ying Chanxi blushed and flatly denied it.
The two of them were about to quarrel.
Fortunately, the bell for class rang at the right time. Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng each hummed, and then stopped when they saw the teacher walk into the classroom.
Li Luo looked at the two girls with a headache, wondering why they became more and more impolite in their words since they knew each other clearly that they were cousins?
Especially after Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing got their marriage certificate, they are now considered sisters.
The words they spoke to each other became more and more aggressive.
I don’t know why.
……
On this Saturday morning at the end of the month, the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School rarely stopped the high school self-study classes, allowing the students to move freely and go to the playground and basketball court to watch the finals of the three major ball games.
According to the practice in previous years, all teachers and students should have gone to the gymnasium to watch the finals.
It's also a good opportunity for high school students who are about to take the college entrance examination to relax.
However, ever since Li Luo and his classmates started tearing down and rebuilding the gymnasium in their second year of high school, there has been no hope of it being fully completed so far.
It is said that it will be completed this summer. By then, it will not only be a gymnasium, but also integrate multiple functions such as school cultural center and community activity center.
In particular, a tunnel was opened underground that leads directly to the dormitory campus across the street.
From now on, students of the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School will no longer have to cross the road outside when traveling between the dormitories and the teaching building, thus avoiding many potential dangers.
But this has nothing to do with Li Luo and his classmates.
"I'll accompany you to take the fourth subject test this afternoon. You should be able to pass it in one try, right?" Li Luo stood at the northernmost position of the playground audience seats, looking at the final situation in the direction of the basketball court, and said to Ying Chanxi next to him.
"Of course there will be no problem." Ying Chanxi nodded and said, "I have never been afraid of theoretical examinations."
As he spoke, Ying Chanxi stood beside Li Luo and stood on tiptoe to look in the direction of the basketball court.
Yan Zhusheng was now standing on a higher step behind Li Luo, with his hands on Li Luo's shoulders and looking into the distance.
"Is Li Luo going to buy a new car for my sister?"
"Correct."
"No," Ying Chanxi explained, "I actually bought it for Aunt Lin. I was just afraid that Aunt Lin would not agree, so I said I bought it for me."
"Is there a possibility?" Yan Zhusheng blinked, looked at Ying Chanxi, then looked at Li Luo, and then said, "Li Luo actually wanted to buy it for you, but was afraid that you would not agree, so he said he bought it for Aunt Lin?"
"Ah?" Ying Chanxi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Li Luo.
Li Luo coughed at what Yan Zhusheng said. Seeing Ying Chanxi looking at him suspiciously, he waved his hand and said, "The car has already been booked. Why are you still talking so much? Besides, the car is not expensive."
"More than 100,000 is not cheap at all." Ying Chanxi bit her lip lightly, feeling that she was deceived by Li Luo again, but she felt warm in her heart, "So Zhu Sheng is right?"
"Both." Li Luo said helplessly, "You and my mother are the same. If I say I want to buy you a new car, you will definitely not agree. But if I change the excuse, it will be different."
"It's okay." Yan Zhusheng hugged Li Luo's neck with both hands from behind, and pressed most of his body against him. "I won't be like this. I'll take whatever you buy for me."
"Then after your birthday this year, go get a driver's license." Li Luo said with a smile, "I'll buy you a new car then, okay?"
Yan Zhusheng shook his head: "I'll just take your car, and Senior Sister and Xixi can drive their own cars."
"Your calculations are quite sound." Ying Chanxi snorted.
"Sister is so smart." Yan Zhusheng praised.
"Alright, alright." Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Li Luo immediately interrupted, "Butler Liu sent a renovation plan. Let's take a look at it together tonight and give some suggestions."
"When can we pick up the new car?" Ying Chanxi asked.
"If you can get your driver's license this afternoon, I'll take you to pick it up tomorrow."
"Auntie Lin won't be angry, right? I didn't even tell her about buying a car."
"Why are you so angry?" Li Luo said with a smile, "I bought this car for you, but you don't drive it for the time being, so I just lent it to her."
"Who said I won't drive anymore? I can drive on weekends." Ying Chanxi said, "Sometimes when I need to go to a location to shoot a music video, I don't have to take a taxi anymore."
"The director still thinks it through carefully."
……
After finishing the fourth subject test in the afternoon, Ying Chanxi successfully obtained his driver's license.
I returned to Bi Hai Lan Ting in the evening and received the decoration plan sent to my mailbox by Butler Liu.
From the three-dimensional map of the entire villa, to the specific structure of each room, to the basic materials and furniture needed, almost everything is complete.
All I can say is that he is truly professional.
Butler Liu is indeed outstanding in this regard.
After the decoration plan was preliminarily determined, Li Luo accompanied Ying Chanxi to the 4S store to pick up the car on the next day, Sunday.
When the two of them went to look at new cars before, Li Luo's budget was within one million.
But Ying Chanxi has many things to consider.
On the one hand, this was bought by Li Luo for himself, but on the other hand, it was also prepared for Lin Xiuhong.
Therefore, Ying Chanxi prefers economical, fuel-efficient and suitable models for women.
After much selection, I finally chose a white Fit from Honda.
Even if Li Luo installed all the necessary configurations and extras, the final price would still be around 140,000 yuan.
Compared with the Mercedes-Benz SUV that Li Luo bought for Li Guohong before, it is indeed quite cheap.
However, the small Feiben is indeed a good match for the petite Ying Chanxi, and it is also quite suitable for Lin Xiuhong to drive.
After Ying Chanxi got the car, he couldn't wait to sit in the driving seat and took Li Luo for a ride.
The car was not driving fast, so it was very cautious.
Li Luo sat in the co-pilot seat, supporting the back of his head with his right hand, looking sideways at Ying Chanxi with a slightly dazed look in his eyes.
I guess Xixi also learned to drive in her previous life.
It’s a pity that I have no chance to see it.
Now, from the current Ying Chanxi, we can see a hint of her maturity that will make her an urban beauty in the future.
When Li Luo was thinking this, Ying Chanxi had already driven back to the parking space downstairs of Bihai Lanting.
Lin Xiuhong happened to come to make lunch for them and saw the young couple getting out of the car. She was stunned for a moment.
"Hey! You two!" Lin Xiuhong came over in surprise and looked around the white Fit in front of her. "Where did the car come from?"
