Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 655 Who will Li Luo choose?

Just when Li Luo went to Changning City to hold a book signing event, Lin Xiuhong and Cui Suling were lying down and doing skin care projects in a beauty salon in Yinjiang District, Yuhang City.

At this time, Lin Xiuhong's project had been completed. While waiting for Cui Suling, she was watching the live broadcast of the "Little Joy" signing event on her mobile phone.

At the same time, the sound was played out loud so that Cui Suling could also listen.

The two of them started chatting about the autograph session.

"Li Luo is really amazing." Cui Suling closed her eyes and applied a facial mask, sighing, "Before, I only knew that he wrote good online articles, but later I heard that he also wrote a novel with a realistic theme and even sold the film and television rights. I think he is amazing."

"Now the physical book has been published, and a book signing event has been held."

“He’s already a great writer.”

The older generation is not very sensitive to various data on the Internet. Even though they knew that Li Luo was very powerful, there is no particularly clear standard as to how powerful he is.

Now, when a book signing event is held, I can sit at the same table with those well-known authors of physical best-selling books.

From their point of view, physical books are obviously more upscale.

To put it simply, it means being classy and making you look good when you talk about it.

"There are only about 300 to 500 people." Lin Xiuhong said modestly, "Don't praise him all the time."

Having said that, Lin Xiuhong was still very happy to hear Cui Suling praising Li Luo.

If one day she stopped praising him, she would feel uncomfortable.

But then again, when Lin Xiuhong looked at Li Luo, who was sitting on a chair and talking in the live broadcast room, her face was dazed.

Three years ago, when the boy was at his most rebellious, she would never have imagined that her son would grow up to be such a talented person.

But just as she was thinking this, the live broadcast room had already entered the interactive question-and-answer session.

After Li Luo interacted with Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi, Cui Suling, who was listening to the Q&A session in the live broadcast room, couldn't help but frown and asked in confusion: "Are Xixi and Zhusheng both sitting on the stage?"

"Yes." Lin Xiuhong nodded, "They are all sitting down."

"What about Yu?" Cui Suling asked again, "Didn't this girl go with him?"

"You Yu..." Lin Xiuhong was stunned for a moment, then looked carefully, "She's not on the stage. Let me take a look. The one in the middle of the first row below seems to be her."

Hearing this, Cui Suling suddenly felt a little disappointed, thinking that Xixi Zhusheng knew to get close to Li Luo at this time.

Why are you so generous?

It's comfortable to sit in the audience, right?
I don't know whether to demonstrate my sovereignty over Li Luo in such a public occasion?

However, just as Cui Suling was thinking this, Lin Xiuhong silently breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Cui Suling could not look at her phone at this time.

Otherwise, if she saw the comments in the live broadcast room, I don’t know what expression she would have.

[Okay, okay, I'm going to pinch your neck, right? Are you showing off your affection like this? ]

[Let Zhu Sheng strangle me, I will accept it even if you strangle me to death! ]

[I am more suitable than my mother~ Why does it seem like Zhu Sheng is still jealous of Sister Qing? ]

[One can sing and the other can write, they are a perfect match, let’s get together quickly! ]

[How do you know they are not together in private? I suspect they have been dating for a long time]

[Look at Zhu Sheng's eyes. They only soften when he looks at Ran Shen, as if they are glowing.]

[You can tell it glows? You're awesome!]

This is the comment after Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng interacted.

When it came to the third question, Li Luo and Ying Chanxi were flirting on the stage, and the content of the barrage suddenly changed.

[Fuck! Why do I feel like this couple is so cute? ]

[Ran Shen, what are you doing! How could you betray Zhu Sheng! ]

[What do you mean by betrayal? They are my childhood sweethearts, okay? We have lived next door to each other since we were young! ]

[It's outrageous that they both got the same provincial top scorer]

[Working together to win the top spot in the college entrance examination... Even romance novels don't dare to write like this]

[No wonder I felt familiar with her. The MVs for several of Ran Shen’s songs seemed to be shot by this girl, right? They even appeared together.]

[Damn it! It's ok that the protagonist has a harem in this damn book, but he wouldn't have a harem in real life, would he?]

[That shouldn't be the case. These two girls both look very good. How could they be willing to be with the same boy?]

[I support Zhusheng! One writes songs and the other sings, they are a perfect match! I felt this way when I went to their concert before! ]

[I think childhood sweethearts are better? They grew up together, studied together, and even won the provincial championship together. This relationship is really special.]

Lin Xiuhong was quite happy when she saw the comments.

After all, she likes both Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng very much.

But Cui Suling was lying next to her, and Lin Xiuhong did not dare to show it obviously, for fear that her good sister would discover her ambition.

At this time, the question-and-answer interaction is still going on.

The next reader fan stood up and asked:
"Teacher Chongran, I heard someone say that when a novelist is writing, he or she often inadvertently projects his or her own shadow onto the protagonist."

"Then I would like to ask you, when you were creating Little Joy, did you project your own characteristics onto the protagonist Fang Yifan?"

"After all, we all know that Fang Yifan is a poor student in school, but you are the provincial champion. Does this cause you to feel disconnected when you are creating?"

Hearing this question, Li Luo thought for a while, then picked up the microphone and said slowly: "Actually, Fang Yifan and I are quite similar. Even in terms of academic performance, there are similarities."

"You may not know that my grades were very poor when I was in junior high school. At one point, I even had a chance of not being able to get into a regular high school."

"The guy next to me has been a very good student since he was young. After entering junior high school, he firmly occupied the top position in the grade."

Li Luo said this, turned his head and glanced at Ying Chanxi, then smiled helplessly and said, "She lives across from my house."

"Because her parents are very busy with work, my mother often invites her to our house for dinner."

"As a result, every time after the test, my mother would nag me, saying, look at Xixi, her grades are so good, and then look at you, you don't know how to learn from her."

"That caused me to kind of dislike this guy for a while."

Ying Chanxi sat next to Li Luo and listened to his story. He was a little happy at first when he heard him mention that he had often gone to Li Luo's house for dinner since he was a child.

But when she heard the latter part, her heart trembled and she felt uncomfortable.

So was this the reason why Li Luo became increasingly cold and distant towards her... Ying Chanxi bit her lip subconsciously. She didn't expect that Li Luo was in such a mood at the time.

She even felt complacent, thinking that since she had been praised and recognized by Lin Xiuhong, she could continue to come to Li Luo's house for meals frequently.

From Ying Chanxi's perspective, she felt that it was not good to always eat for free, so she could only study hard and show her own value, and then she would have the nerve to go to his house every day under the pretext of "tutoring Li Luo".

As a result, this became a weapon for Lin Xiuhong to urge her son, and in turn turned into a sharp dagger that hurt the self-esteem of Li Luo when he was young.

“But I came to my senses later and secretly studied hard before the high school entrance exam.” Li Luo smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly when he said this.

In fact, there is no such thing as secretly reviewing.

It's just that the soul of a 35-year-old middle-aged office worker has returned to a young body and was unexpectedly reborn.

But when it comes to rebirth, it may not be considered a review, but it is probably a preview of the next twenty years of life.

Returning to his past self 20 years ago, Li Luo made a choice that was completely opposite to what he made when he was young.

All I can say is that people always grow.

But after hearing what he said, not only did it deeply affect Ying Chanxi, but Lin Xiuhong, who was far away in Yinjiang District, also looked stunned and could not come back to her senses for a long time.

During these three years, Lin Xiuhong has been very happy because Li Luo has continued to excel in all aspects, so much so that she feels that there is nothing wrong with her previous educational methods.

Especially after attending several high school parent-teacher conferences and being envied and praised by other parents, Lin Xiuhong had this illusion even more.

So much so that sometimes, even if Li Luo didn't do anything, Lin Xiuhong would still subconsciously say a few words.

For example, when Li Luo was in the first year of high school, he ranked in the top 40 in his grade. Lin Xiuhong would advise him to be humble and look at Xixi, and encourage him to work harder.

For example, before the college entrance examination, Li Luo had a clear chance of being admitted to Qianjiang University, but she still kept finding faults and giving him advice, just like she did when Li Luo was in junior high school.

These are all continuations of past experience.

It was not until she heard Li Luo speak his true feelings that Lin Xiuhong realized her previous mistakes.

Is this what my son was thinking?

Lin Xiuhong pursed her lips and felt a little ashamed for the first time.

Before this, she even had some proud thoughts, thinking that Li Luo was able to get the provincial top score in the college entrance examination this time, perhaps because of her perseverance and constant encouragement.

But now it seems that this is actually a burden.

If Li Luo hadn't come to his senses and become sensible enough, their family might be in a completely different situation now.

"Xiuhong, what's wrong?" Cui Suling found that she suddenly stopped talking and couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing." Lin Xiuhong smiled awkwardly, "I just think that Li Luo, this brat, speaks very well."

"In a word," Li Luo also shared his past experience in the live broadcast room, "I performed exceptionally well in the high school entrance examination and was admitted to the No. 1 Affiliated High School. Then, under the influence of a top student in the grade, I continued to improve and successfully caught up with her in the college entrance examination."

"As for Fang Yifan choosing the path of an art student in the college entrance examination..." Li Luo turned his head to look at Yan Zhusheng, touched his chin and said with a smile, "I think if I were to take the art exam, someone's top scorer in the art exam might be out of place."

"It doesn't matter." Yan Zhusheng shook his head without minding at all. "That's better. You can go to the same college as me."

[You're telling me we're not together? ]

[Zhu Sheng, be more reserved! Do you have to be so obvious?]

[Sister Qing, are you watching? Take care of your daughter! ]

[Sister Qing is probably laughing behind the screen. Come on, daughter, win the song "Rekindle"! From now on, both of us will have no shortage of songs! Hahaha~]

Now it is the next reader's turn to ask:
"Teacher Chongran, I really like the character of Qiao Yingzi, and I also like the relationship between her and Fang Yifan. Did they get together after they entered university? Or will Fang Yifan still pursue his goddess?"

"Well..." When Li Luo heard this question, he subconsciously glanced left and right, and then suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Xu Youyu in the audience watched the show with a smile on his face, propped up his chin and looked at Li Luo, very curious about how he would answer.

Finally, Li Luo had to cough and said, "After the story is over, the characters still have their own lives to go on. This is not something the author can decide. Sometimes leaving blank space is also a kind of beauty."

However, thinking that the subsequent plot of "Little Joy" is actually quite obvious, Li Luo looked at Yan Zhusheng helplessly, and then added: "In terms of probability, the possibility of Fang Yifan and Qiao Yingzi getting together is greater."

Hear this answer.

Not only the reader who asked the question in the audience showed a satisfied smile.

Ying Chanxi on the side also smiled happily, and when he turned his head to look at Li Luo, his eyes seemed to be sparkling.

[I can’t stand it anymore…Qingmei’s eyes are melting when she looks at him]

[What virtue and ability does this bastard have! ]

[Why do I suddenly feel that Qingmei is similar to Shen Dongdong in "I'm Not a Celebrity"... Yan Zhusheng also seems to correspond to Mo Qinghan]

[According to what you said, is there another Jiang Mingyue in Chongran? I don't believe it! ]

[I heard that Rekindling and Early Sleeping have a good relationship. Early Sleeping is a female author. She is said to be very beautiful.]

[Stop talking, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control my hand that picks up the kitchen knife]

"Then, let's invite the last reader to ask questions." The host looked at the time and felt that it was about time, so he said this and then called on the last reader who raised his hand.

The reader stood up and jumped up excitedly. After getting the microphone, he couldn't wait to say, "My question has nothing to do with Little Joy. It may be a bit presumptuous, but I still want to ask, that..."

As he said that, he took out something from his backpack and showed it to Li Luo, "Ran Shen, I am your loyal reader. I also like your "Da Qian Night Patrol" very much."

"This year I was admitted to Aurora University in Changning City, and I just received the admission letter."

"So... the promise you made when you published the book, that you would update the book once a reader is admitted to a 985 university, is it still valid now?"

When the audience heard this, they all laughed out loud and looked at Li Luo on the stage as if they were watching a show.

Li Luo was also confused at this time. He didn't expect that there would be readers who brought their admission letters with them to the scene. He was a little amused and helpless.

"Let me check it." Li Luo stood up, walked to the reader, and carefully checked his admission letter. "Okay, okay, Gong Ao, right? I'll remember you."

"Hehe." The reader named Gong Ao scratched his head and then said with a smug smile, "Will you update more?"

"Add it, right now." Li Luo nodded with a smile, took out his mobile phone, logged into the writer's backend, and sent out a chapter on the spot, "Please check it."

Gong Ao was stunned, then he immediately took out his phone and took a look. He found that "Daqian Night Patrol" had really updated a chapter. He was immediately shocked: "You still have manuscripts saved?!"

"Isn't it normal to have saved manuscripts?" Li Luo laughed, then leaned over to take a look at the guy's phone, "Hey, hey, hey, don't you still have two monthly tickets? You're a loyal fan, but you don't even know how to vote?"

"Vote! Vote now!" Gong Ao nodded immediately, clicked the button to vote for monthly tickets, and sent out all the monthly tickets he had.
