At noon, a Sichuan restaurant a few kilometers away from the Ji Hotel.

Xu Youyu and Li Luo were sitting in a small private room, looking at the menu.

Of course, Li Luo was mainly looking at the menu, while Xu Youyu sat opposite Li Luo, holding his chin with his hands, staring at Li Luo's face.

"Is Mapo tofu okay? The Mapo tofu in Sichuan restaurants should taste good."

"Um."

“Let’s have some spicy chicken too.”

"Um."

"Husband and wife's lung slices, try it?"

"Um."

"I don't know what the editor wants to eat. I'll order two more dishes when he comes."

"Um."

Li Luo asked the waiter next to him for a bottle of large orange juice, then temporarily put down the menu, looked at Xu Youyu opposite, and was stunned.

"Why are you staring at me like this?" Li Luo touched his face, "Is there something on my face?"

"Nothing." Xu Youyu came back to his senses, shook his head, and smiled.

How to say...

During the previous meeting, Li Luo's book was criticized by a man named Chu Sheng. Xu Youyu originally thought that after Li Luo stood up, he would not be able to help but start a scolding with the other person.

This made Xu Youyu a little worried, and besides being worried, he was also a little expectant.

Because she has never seen Li Luo angry and swearing in the street.

At most, I just couldn't stand it after being teased by her occasionally, and I was a little angry, which is different from pure anger.

But what Xu Youyu didn't expect was that Li Luo could calmly argue with others.

Although there are occasionally some strange words, the attitude is at least a state of communication, rather than a pure attack mode in an angry state.

This made Xu Youyu think of his father.

Xu Rongsheng is such a person.

Growing up, Xu Youyu had almost never seen Xu Rong angry.

Even though his mother would occasionally have a little temper, and he would occasionally make trouble unreasonably when he was a child, Xu Rongsheng always maintained a gentle attitude and communicated with his mother.

How to say it.

To those ordinary girls, maybe Li Luo stood up and cursed at Chu Sheng just now, and they might think this was very handsome.

But for Xu Youyu, who grew up under Xu Rongsheng's rational education, after seeing Li Luo's neither humble nor arrogant behavior just now, he was a little bit handsome.

It’s that feeling of being able to communicate rationally without worrying that the other person won’t understand what you mean!

Xu Youyu enjoyed this feeling very much.

Xu Youyu was still confused before, why he felt so comfortable when getting along with Li Luo.

Now, she probably found part of the reason.

"Sorry, I'm late."

At this moment, the private room door was pushed open, Qianzhou walked in from the outside, pulled out a chair and sat down, and was pushed a menu by Li Luo.

"You order two more dishes." Li Luo said.

"Okay." Faced with a guy with a monthly income of 370,000 yuan, Qianzhou was not polite to him, and went straight to the most expensive items, "Sauerkraut fish, Dengying beef, that's it."

Li Luo nodded, called the waiter in, added two more dishes, then opened the oranges and filled the glasses for the three of them.

"By the way, can't you two wait for me at the door of the hotel?" Qianzhou was speechless when he thought of this, "You still have to let me take a taxi here alone."

"Ahem...well...it's a long story." Li Luo glanced at Xu Youyu, and Xu Youyu also glanced at him, both of them feeling helpless.

"Then to cut the story short, is there anything else you can hide?"

"That's it." Li Luo sighed and said to Qianzhou, "At this morning's symposium, will the Writers Association invite a few people to come and give speeches?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"One of them is Professor Xu from the Literature Department of Qianjiang University. Do you know?"

"It seems so." Qianzhou nodded, "This is all arranged by the Writers Association, and I'm not very familiar with it. What's wrong?"

"Normally, of course, there is no problem, but..." Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu, who was sitting opposite, and said with a smile, "This Professor Xu just went to bed early with her father."

"What?" Qianzhou didn't participate in the morning symposium because he was an editor, so he didn't know what happened.

When he heard the news, he was confused. He looked at Xu Youyu next to him, who was covering his face with shame: "Your family background is not simple. Go to bed early. No wonder your writing skills are so good. It turns out that your father is a professor in the literature department."

, does this count as a scholarly family?"

"Editor, stop talking... ugh..." Xu Youyu covered his face and was afraid to see anyone, "I don't even have time to hide from him now. If my father finds out that I am writing online articles, I won't have to live.

"

"Actually... I feel pretty good." Li Luo smiled and coughed twice, then shared with Qianzhou what happened at the symposium today, then looked at Xu Youyu and said, "Look, your dad said to the Internet article

My attitude is pretty good, maybe even if I knew you were writing online articles, I wouldn’t do anything to you, right?"

"You know nothing." Xu Youyu glared at him, "You don't want to think about what I usually write? My dad is a professor in the literature department. If he knew that I was writing a book, he would definitely take it seriously and carefully.

Read my book several times."

"I can imagine that when the time comes, he will drag me into the study room and discuss with me some of my plot arrangements and designs."

"And what he teaches in school is modern and contemporary literature. What if he suddenly gets a whim and gives students an assignment to read through "The Age of Literature" and write an essay?"

"Then I'm really dead!"

When Xu Youyu said this, Li Luo couldn't help but feel ashamed: "So scary?"

There is a saying that although family members know that I am writing a novel, most people will not actually read it.

Except for my father who occasionally reads it to kill time, only his cheap nephew Li Xiang is reading his novels.

Li Luo estimated that even his uncle Li Guoru could only read the beginning and then stop reading.

His mother Lin Xiuhong is in a similar situation.

After all, no matter how down-to-earth the Internet articles are, they will choose their audience based on different themes.

What's more, this is especially true for people who don't have any reading habits.

Yan Zhusheng is probably the only one who is really following the update seriously.

Of course, now that Li Luo knows, Xu Youyu must be added to the list.

But after hearing what Xu Youyu said, Li Luo suddenly realized how terrifying Xu Rongsheng was.

Then the next second, Li Luo's expression suddenly changed.

"But your dad doesn't know that you are writing a book now, but he knows that I am writing a book!" Li Luo was shocked, "Damn! My book won't appear in the papers of uncle's students in the future, right?"

"That's hard to say." When Xu Youyu thought of this, he suddenly laughed, somewhat gloating, "Anyway, since my dad knows you are writing a book, he will definitely read it."

When Li Luo heard this, his head was filled with black lines: "... Chu Sheng is so stupid!"

Just now in the conference hall, I was still too restrained. If I had known, I would have scolded him more harshly.

The main reason was that Xu Rongsheng was also present at the time, and Li Luo was still not very good at losing his temper.

Now that I think about it, it’s really a waste.

"In that case." Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu, who was smiling brightly, and his eyes suddenly darkened, "If I can drag the senior sister into the water, wouldn't it be better?"

"Nothing else!" When Xu Youyu heard this, he immediately begged for mercy in a panic, "Have you forgotten that we have a three-part agreement? You can't break the rules and violate the rules."

"Then I don't see you helping each other?" Li Luo said dissatisfied, "My vest has been exposed to your father."

"Then it's all Chu Sheng's fault. He called you by name on the spot and wanted to fight with you. What can I do?" Xu Youyu was speechless. "I can only say that you are unlucky."

"But..." At this time, Qianzhou couldn't help but interrupt, and kindly reminded, "Go to bed early, for the essay award ceremony in the afternoon, there will be a total of one first prize, three second prizes, and six third prizes.

"

"Among them, the first prize was awarded by Secretary Cao, the second prize was awarded by Chairman Li, and the third prize was awarded by three other guests."

"That is to say, when you go on stage to receive the award, Professor Xu should be there, and he will also give you the award..."

"Ah?" As soon as these words came out, Xu Youyu's expression suddenly changed, and soon her expression turned pitiful. She quickly pleaded to Qianzhou, "Editor! I have the most important request in my life! Look..."

Of course Qianzhou knew what she meant, and he was a little dumbfounded: "Okay, okay, I understand. I'll ask you about it later."

"Although according to the regulations, the winner must be the one to receive the award."

"But if we encounter some special circumstances, it is not impossible to accommodate. Then we will see if I can be allowed to come to the stage to collect it on my behalf."

"Oh haha~" Xu Youyu cheered when he heard this, "Long live the editor!"

Li Luo looked at the way Xu Youyu might have escaped, and immediately clicked his tongue twice: "Am I the only one who is unlucky?"
