Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 704 The First Lesson with Xu Youyu

After finishing the elective course with Ying Chanxi, Li Luo asked Ying Chanxi to take him to try Zhu Luxuan's cafeteria, saying that he had never been there.

In fact, he now has some psychological trauma, and is afraid that he will run into his acquaintances again when he is eating with Ying Chanxi in the school cafeteria.

It would be terrible if his classmates, classmates in the same department or Xu Youyu's roommate saw him having dinner with another very beautiful girl, and the two of them were talking and laughing and interacting sweetly.

You can't let Xixi be your cousin again, right?
With such cautious thoughts in mind, Li Luo instigated Ying Chanxi and took him to Zhu Luxuan's dormitory cafeteria for a simple meal.

After lunch, the two went their separate ways and went to different classrooms to continue their classes.

After a few days of college life, Li Luo has gradually become accustomed to this rhythm.

It has to be said that university life is not even a little bit different from the junior college life he experienced in his previous life.

In my previous life, I studied to be a chef for two and a half years, throughout my college career, which is quite different from my current life with a lot of money.

From a living perspective, the biggest difference is the management system.

Li Luo remembers it very clearly. He thought he had finally graduated from high school and would be able to relax a little when he went to college.

As a result, the dormitories in junior colleges still close and lights are turned off at 10:30 p.m., and the dormitory supervisor will still check the rooms.

Attendance, unified work and rest schedule, mobile phone control...

It feels like I went to high school again, except that the content of my studies has changed.

But when I got to Qianda, the dormitory building said it would close at 11 o'clock at night, but in fact, it was okay to go back later as long as you asked the dormitory manager.

No one cares whether you turn off the lights or not. As long as all four roommates agree, no one will bother you if you keep the lights on all night.

Not to mention being able to drive straight home for the night.

Although the school rules explicitly prohibit staying overnight outside the school, no one will care unless someone reports it intentionally.

Li Luo thought about all this, humming a little tune as he came to the teaching building, met up with his roommates, found a seat in the classroom and sat down, then prepared for class.

Before the class bell rang, Cheng Xin curiously asked Wen Zexuan, "How is the progress with the girl I met at the gym yesterday?"

"There were some twists and turns, but it went smoothly." Wen Zexuan laughed, "But I'll share it with you when I have more concrete results."

When Li Luo heard this, he thought that Wen Zexuan was trying to seduce the two new girls he met yesterday.

After confirming that this guy had given up Jiang Lai, Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

The crisis is temporarily over.

……

He went to college peacefully, wrote some words in his spare time, and moved back and forth between Ying Chanxi and the other two. Li Luo lived a carefree life.

On Thursday afternoon, Li Luo made an appointment with Xu Youyu to meet at the entrance of the teaching building, and then go to the course "Appreciation and Research of Online Literature" together.

"I've been looking forward to this for a long time." When Xu Youyu saw Li Luo coming towards him at the entrance of the teaching building, he stepped forward and hugged his arm, saying with a smile.

"I remember my aunt knows about your novel, right?" Li Luo was led by her into the gate and said casually, "Then as your father's disciple, does this teacher Si also know about your book?"

"How could they know?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him. "Except for my dad and aunt, no one else could know. I told my dad not to talk nonsense."

"It's strange," Li Luo said, "There should be quite a few people in your high school class who were admitted to Qianda University. Why didn't anyone promote your book?"

"What are you thinking?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him. "Most of the people from our school who can get into Qianjiang University won't choose the College of Arts, okay? This major doesn't have much future."

"Is it appropriate for the vice-president's daughter to say this?"

"That's the truth." Xu Youyu laughed. "For our major, the mainstream is to take the postgraduate entrance examination or the civil service examination. The employment opportunities are too narrow. Some teachers are even wondering if they can recommend graduates to write online articles."

"Pushing students into the fire pit? This teacher is too evil."

"Writing for the Internet is a hell of a pit, so what are we?"

"Is he the Monkey King in the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun? He is also the real gold that is not afraid of fire."

"You still talk in a very different way."

"Then how else can you write online articles?"

The two of them chatted as they walked to the classroom door.

At this time, many people have already chosen their seats here.

Xu Youyu took Li Luo into the classroom and immediately attracted many people's attention.

Xu Youyu, who is already a sophomore, is quite famous in the School of Arts. Many people have heard of this golden flower in the External Relations Department.

Too bad I already have a boyfriend.

Li Luo quite enjoyed this kind of gaze and sat in a corner of the back row with Xu Youyu.

After taking a quick look in his memory palace and confirming that there were no acquaintances among the people he had just seen at the classroom door, Li Luo felt relieved.

Normally, it is relatively rare for freshmen to choose elective courses.

On the one hand, courses that are fun and interesting or easy to earn credits are usually snatched up early by sophomores and juniors.

On the other hand, the first semester of freshman year is mainly focused on adapting to school life.

So, except for Li Luo, a freshman, all the students who came to take the course "Appreciation and Research of Online Literature" were sophomores or juniors.

"Speaking of which, what should you do if the teacher talks about the book you wrote during class?" Xu Youyu laughed softly, "Then you can just stand up and tell the teacher that I wrote this book. Wouldn't that be pretentious?"

"Aren't you embarrassed?" Li Luo was speechless, and then said, "I will only tell the teacher that the book you mentioned is just so-so, not as good as "Gu Dao Chang Qing"."

"go away!"

"You hurt each other. It was obviously you who started it first."

"Your entire class already knows about your book writing, so what does this little scene have to do with it?"

"Then didn't your entire high school class know about your book?" Li Luo laughed, "Why are you still hiding it after entering college? Isn't it better to be open about it?"

"Not good." Xu Youyu snorted, and when he heard the class bell, he ended the topic and turned to look at Teacher Si Huanian who had just walked in. "Hey, you know what, Teacher Si is quite pretty."

At this time, Si Huanian walked into the classroom as the bell rang. He was wearing a thin brown windbreaker, jeans and long boots, and had short hair. He looked quite handsome.

"She is pretty, and has a neutral vibe." Li Luo nodded and commented, then asked, "How old is Ms. Si?"

"It looks like it has a C?" Xu Youyu raised an eyebrow and said, "It's not small."

“…I was asking about age.”

"Haha~ About twenty-five or twenty-six." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "She just graduated with a master's degree, so she's not that old."

"Hello, everyone." At this time, Si Huanian had already walked up to the podium, turned on the computer in the classroom, plugged in the USB flash drive, opened the courseware, then greeted everyone, turned around, wrote down his basic information on the blackboard, and gave a brief self-introduction.

Then she wrote another string of numbers.

"This is our class's QQ group, everyone please join it." Si Huanian said, "I will notify you in the group if there is anything in the future. If you have any questions, you can communicate with me directly in the group." "Next, let's get straight to the point."

As she spoke, she opened her PPT and entered the directory first.

"According to the plan for this semester, our elective course has a total of 16 weeks and 32 class hours. The main content is these, which are divided into the following parts."

"First, we need to have a preliminary understanding of online literature and systematically understand the development history and current situation of online literature."

"The second is to study online literature and determine our research tools, directions and angles."

"The third part is the specific case part. In this part, we will divide everyone into groups. Each group has a maximum of four students. We can group them freely."

"At that time, each group will choose an online novel to appreciate and come on stage to present it."

"There are more than 40 students in our class, and there will be at least 10 groups by then."

"So starting from the week after next, we have to arrange the groups to go on stage one by one in order."

“The performance of the lecture will be included in the daily rating.”

"The fourth part is the current creative ecology of online literature, including the rules of some platforms, the current situation of the writer group, etc."

"For this part, our other teacher in this course, Xu Rongsheng, has some connections in this area. We can invite some well-known online writers to share some industry news in our class."

At this point, Si Huanian smiled and said, "I know that you all chose this course. You should have read online articles more or less on weekdays."

"If you are interested in any author, you can tell me in the QQ group and I will see if our teacher Xu Rongsheng can invite him over."

Hearing this, Xu Youyu in the audience almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He covered his mouth and hummed, trying to hold back his laughter in an uncomfortable manner.

"What are you doing?" Li Luo asked speechlessly.

"Where did my dad get all those connections in the online literature circle?" Xu Youyu said with a snicker, "Aren't they all our connections? The main ones are yours."

"Then this also counts."

"I guess Teacher Si never thought of this." Xu Youyu laughed softly, "My dad's biggest connection is already taking her class."

Si Huanian didn't know that there were two well-known online writers sitting in this classroom, and they were talking about the content planning of this course on the stage.

“After talking about the creative ecology, there is also the reader ecology.”

"Then we will discuss the social criticism and appreciation of online literature and the controversy over values."

At this point, Si Huanian paused, then smiled and said, "The final assignment is a discussion on the values ​​of online literature, and the requirement is a discussion of more than 3,000 words."

“It would be best if it could be written in the form of an essay.”

"but……"

"I have another option."

Having said this, Si Huanian clicked the mouse and the PPT jumped to the next page.

Several icons are displayed above.

“These are some of the more mainstream online writing platforms on the market.”

Si Huanian said, "As long as you create an online novel privately during this semester and sign a contract with one of the platforms, you can pass the exam directly."

“Not only do you not have to write an essay, but you can also get full marks from me.”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a lot of discussion in the classroom.

Li Luo and Xu Youyu also looked at each other in bewilderment, and then felt a little amused and helpless.

"What should I do?" Li Luo asked. "I don't care. I can just take out my book and get the full score right away. Does that mean I don't have to go to class anymore?"

"You're dreaming." Xu Youyu glared at him, "You're here to accompany me to class, okay? Do you want to slip away?"

"Then you should also take out your "Gu Dao Chang Qing", the master of early sleep~" Li Luo said with a smile, "Just pass it, and then we can do something else during class time in the future."

"Don't even think about it." Xu Youyu gritted his teeth and said, "If you dare to expose me, you'll be dead."

"Then I'll open a small account when the time comes." Li Luo said with a smile, "Writing a 3,000-word essay is quite troublesome, so I might as well just write a beginning and throw it to the small account and ask Qianzhou to sign it for me."

"It's not impossible." Xu Youyu muttered to himself when he heard him say that, "But does this count as cheating?"

"Signing a contract is not difficult for us." Li Luo spread his hands and said, "But for newcomers who have never been exposed to online writing, it can directly screen out 99% of the people. Otherwise, Mr. Si would not have said so confidently."

Signing an online article contract has little to do with education level. As long as you can type, you are basically on the same starting line.

The key is whether the author's thinking can be transformed from the traditional student writing perspective to the online writing perspective.

If this cannot be done, signing a contract will be extremely difficult.

Many liberal arts students with high academic qualifications and wide reading range are more susceptible to this kind of thinking limitations. They cannot turn around and are easily stuck here.

This has little to do with your writing skills.

If you ask an online writer in the industry to help you write the beginning of an article, and he or she only praises you for your good writing style in the end, then the problem is most likely here.

"OK, then the above is the main content of this semester." Si Huanian clapped his hands, pulling everyone back to reality from the fantasy of signing an online article contract, and then clicked the mouse to enter today's formal learning content.

The scene on the screen changed.

The content above will be displayed - the definition of online literature.

"To understand online literature, we must first know where this thing called online literature came from." Having said this, Si Huanian continued to click the mouse and began to talk about the past and present of online literature.

Well... Li Luo curled the corner of his mouth and suddenly thought of the complaints about domestic education in later generations.

No matter what you learn, you have to start with a definition.

"I feel a little bored..." Xu Youyu yawned. He was already sleepy after the first class in the afternoon, and now he felt even less energetic.

In order to boost his spirits, Xu Youyu glanced at his classmates and the teacher on the stage, then quietly took Li Luo's hand and placed it on his thigh.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm so sleepy, I want some excitement."

"Then why don't I tell Mr. Si to let you go up and share "Gu Dao Chang Qing"."

"Haha, there is a difference between seeking excitement and seeking death. I think you are itching for trouble."

"I don't know if I am itchy or not, but someone is really itchy."

"Hmph~ Then let's go home after class?"

"I've made an appointment with Zhu Sheng. I'll go see her later."

"Tsk, you bastard." Xu Youyu kicked him lightly, "Don't let Zhu Sheng drain you dry."
