Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 803 Zhu Sheng Goes Astray

Li Luo started typing.

After plugging in the mechanical keyboard that Xu Youyu had given him, the loud clapping sounds filled the live stream room.

"No... it's starting already?"

[They got into this state of mind way too quickly! Didn't they even think about it first?]

I'd like to see how many words you can type in half an hour.

[Two thousand for half an hour, four thousand for an hour, even if you only work eight hours a day, wouldn't you still have to write more than 30,000 words?]

[Thinking about it this way, it seems like the God of Burning has been too lazy lately!]

【Laughing to death! 】

What if he deliberately writes less?

At this rate of activity, there can't be any less, right?

"Ahem." Seeing that everyone in the live chat was discussing Li Luo's writing, Yan Zhusheng deliberately coughed twice to attract everyone's attention. "Stop looking at him, look at me instead, okay?"

"I am the owner of this live stream, so don't let him lead you astray."

"Let's keep singing."

After Yan Zhusheng finished speaking in a serious tone, she started playing the accompaniment according to the song list she had prepared earlier, and added, "There are three more songs left. I'll go and disturb him after he finishes singing."

What I hate most when people talk next to me while I'm doing my homework is having someone talk to me.

That's true, but if Zhusheng were singing next to me, I'd definitely be happy to.

That's a pretty good idea.

[Didn't Burning God already update today? Does this mean what I'm writing now counts as an extra chapter?]

[You're overthinking it. This bastard probably has a lot of drafts saved up. Otherwise, how did he manage to update 100,000 words a day several times before?]

[If I guess right later, could you please ask this guy to release all his saved drafts? I was so frustrated by the missing chapters yesterday.]

[Holy crap, who is this? What are they doing typing on the keyboard next to Zhusheng?]

In the live stream, many readers were still talking about the rekindling of the flame; they were clearly his readers.

Some people who had just entered the live stream were completely bewildered when they saw a man typing on a keyboard next to Yan Zhusheng. It was the first time they had ever seen someone else on a singing live stream.

Yan Zhusheng, meanwhile, had already started singing according to the song list.

After each song was sung, he would take the opportunity during the break to interrupt Li Luo for a couple of lines.

"Are you just going to type like this without interacting with the comments?" Yan Zhusheng asked.

"I'm afraid that if I look up at the comments, my dear readers will tell me to hurry up and write more," Li Luo chuckled.

[Stop joking, no matter how much you write, it won't be published today. What's the point of criticizing you?]

Come on, let's chat!

[Holy crap, I almost forgot to interrogate this kid! He led us astray, and we forgot to ask them what their relationship was!]

Aren't we good friends?

Is it a superior-subordinate relationship?

Can pure friendship truly exist between superiors and subordinates?

[A lip-to-lip friendship might exist.]

"Don't talk nonsense," Li Luo glanced at the comments, then chuckled, "My relationship with Zhu Sheng is very pure."

"Besides, our company has signed more than just Zhu Sheng; we have other artists as well."

"It's just that I'll be responsible for preparing all her subsequent albums, so she simply signed with me."

"It's convenient that the company is close to the school, but Aunt Yuan's place is too far away. It would be quite troublesome to come and go all the way here."

Explanation is just a cover-up.

[Ha, I didn't believe it at first, but after your explanation, it suddenly seems suspicious.]

Is it really that simple?

"They don't seem to believe me," Yan Zhusheng asked, tilting her head. "What should we do?"

"There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me," Li Luo said helplessly, spreading his hands. "Wait, aren't you guys interfering with my writing?"

"No." Yan Zhusheng shook her head, then rolled her eyes and moved a little closer to Li Luo, saying towards the camera, "Okay, I admit it, we are actually a couple."

Li Luo: "...?"

【? ? ? 】

【what? 】

"No... you're admitting it already?"

I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!!!

"Really? Now that you mention it, it sounds like it's not true..."

Didn't you say you were good friends before?

“Look,” Yan Zhusheng pointed at the comments section and turned to Li Luo, “Actually, even if you said we were a couple, they wouldn’t believe you.”

Upon hearing this, Li Luo immediately twitched the corners of his mouth: "...Don't go too far, or I'm afraid Aunt Yuan will come over with a kitchen knife and chop me up right now."

“No, that’s not the case. Mom wouldn’t dare,” Yan Zhusheng said. “She’s still counting on you to continue writing songs for her.”

[Okay, okay, let’s play like this, right? 】

[That really startled me!]

So you were just kidding us?

I knew it! It was definitely fake.

[When people admit something, they usually say they're someone's girlfriend or that someone is their boyfriend. Who says "we're in a relationship"? That's way too formal.]

It seems like there's really no connection between them.

It's hard to say, what if they did it on purpose?

Why ask so many questions? Hurry up and play the next song, Zhusheng!

Yan Zhusheng stirred things up, and seeing that the reactions in the comments were fairly normal, she glanced at Li Luo with her eyes before continuing to sing.

After all the songs on the playlist were sung, there were only seven or eight minutes left before the live stream ended.

"Let me see how much you've written." Yan Zhusheng leaned over to Li Luo and peeked at his computer screen. "It doesn't seem like much."

"Isn't that enough?" Li Luo glanced at her. "Don't give the audience the wrong information, or they'll blame it all on you if they guess wrong."

Is that a lot?

"I think you don't have a proper understanding of the typing speed of a normal person."

"It doesn't matter." Yan Zhusheng shook her head. "I'm done singing. Now I'm going to start bothering you."

"Go ahead," Li Luo chuckled. "You were singing so loudly just now, but it didn't bother me at all."

"How about this?" Yan Zhusheng reached out and poked Li Luo's lower back.

"Hey, stop!" Li Luo slapped the guy's hand away and said irritably, "I told you before, no physical interference. You've already touched me."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng blinked, obediently withdrawing her hand, then looked at the comments and asked, "So, do you guys have any good methods? Teach me." [Ahem, Zhusheng, are you wearing a skirt or pants today? Show Chongran your long legs, I guarantee he won't take his eyes off you!]

You've got a really clever plan going on!

[Absolutely, I also suggest showing off your long legs!]

"Then I'll give it a try." Yan Zhusheng stood up, walked to the desk, and took off her trousers.

The camera was pointed at the window, so it couldn't capture the side of the desk at all, which immediately alarmed the viewers in the live chat.

【Hey! Why did you run off?!】

[Holy crap! That would be giving Chongran a free ride! No way! Zhusheng, come back quickly!]

Let's try another approach! Forget about this one!

Looking at the barrage of comments, and then glancing at Yan Zhusheng who was deliberately presenting him with such an alluring scene, Li Luo twitched the corner of his mouth and said to the comments:
"This guy's pants are too tight. He just rolled up the cuffs to show his ankles. What's so interesting about that?"

That's what he said, but Li Luo kept glancing at him with his eyes, feeling a little excited.

However, he still gestured to Yan Zhusheng with his eyes to quickly put his pants back on and not to do anything reckless in the live stream.

Yan Zhusheng blinked, obediently put her pants back on, and sat down in front of the camera again: "This trick isn't working very well, you guys try another one."

I thought about it carefully, and I had a lot of ideas in my mind, but then I realized they were all just trying to rekindle this guy's flame for him.

It's better to just scratch an itch.

I was just about to suggest that I could breathe warm air into his ear or something, but then I thought better of it!

[Let me be the one to reignite things; let Zhu Sheng torment me.]

Yan Zhusheng looked at the comments and felt that no one had any interesting ideas, so she rolled her eyes and simply stood up and said, "Let's leave it at that for now, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Li Luo, could you reply to the comments for me? I'd like to chat with everyone."

Let's stop here for the word count.

Li Luo glanced at Yan Zhusheng, thinking that the girl really just wanted to go to the toilet, so he nodded in agreement.

At this point, there were only five minutes left before the live stream ended.

Li Luo moved his laptop aside, watched Yan Zhusheng walk to the door and open it, then looked at the live chat and said, "Let's chat then, everyone feel free to speak your mind."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Luo saw Yan Zhusheng open the door and then slam it shut again, without leaving the room.

Instead, Yan Zhusheng turned around and crawled under the table.

Li Luo: "???"

This is different from the plan we discussed in the meeting this afternoon!
When will "The Great Qian Night Patrol" be completed?

"It should be writing until April next year," Li Luo replied calmly, his right hand already silently reaching under the table to block someone's head from misbehaving.

Why don't you ask when "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" will be finished? It's almost ten million words!

"Ahem... It's still early, still early. We've only just gotten to the part about going abroad," Li Luo chuckled.

What's the new TV series? Is it a TV adaptation of "The Great Qian Night Patrol"?

"It's a script I wrote in private. As for 'The Great Qian Night Patrol Division,' the film and television adaptation might be put on the agenda after it's finished next year."

Is it similar to "A Little Reunion"? Or is it "A Little Reunion 2"?

"It's not 'A Little Reunion 2.' As for the genre, let's talk about that next year. We've only just started filming, so there's no rush," Li Luo replied with a smile.

Good grief, are you turning Zhusheng's livestream into a press conference?

[Now that you've finished writing "The Great Qian Night Patrol Division," are there any plans for new books?]

“Yes,” Li Luo replied, stroking his chin. “And it shouldn’t be after ‘The Great Qian Night Patrol’ is finished. I estimate that the new book will be released after the New Year.”

[Holy crap?! Three accounts open simultaneously?!]

Are you even human?!

【Awesome! 】

Is it really possible to write all of this?

Please give "The Great Qian Night Patrol" a proper ending! It would be better if you didn't start a new book and disrupt the updates there, right?

“You’re overthinking it,” Li Luo said with a laugh. “I should finish writing ‘The Great Qian Night Patrol Division’ first, but according to the website’s requirements, it’s impossible to release it all at once, so I’ll only finish it in April.”

That's ridiculous, a seamless transition?

[Sure! I'll definitely support the new book!]

[A new drama and a new book, you really don't rest at all! No wonder you're making so much money.]

The barrage of comments filled the screen.

Li Luo also tried his best to keep calm and finally managed to hold the person down and prevent her from doing anything reckless.

Seeing Li Luo's tight security, Yan Zhusheng, who was hiding under the table, finally gave up and obediently crawled out from under the desk. She even opened the door first and then closed it, pretending that she had just returned.

"Time's almost up." Yan Zhusheng returned to her seat, showing no trace of the fact that she had been squatting under the table, and said calmly, "Everyone, guess how many words Li Luo wrote."

As soon as he finished speaking, the live chat was instantly flooded with various numbers.

Some said one thousand, some said two thousand or three thousand, and some even guessed ten thousand.

[Ten thousand is an exaggeration; even copying directly wouldn't be that fast!]

[I think a little over a thousand is about right?]

He was chatting with us for several minutes just now, but he actually only wrote for about twenty minutes.

[In twenty minutes, I could write at most three or four hundred words.]

Yan Zhusheng watched the comments and waited until the time was almost up. Then she picked up Li Luo's laptop, pointed the screen at the camera, and announced the answer to everyone.

"There are a total of 3158 characters, so all the viewers who guessed 3000 characters guessed correctly," Yan Zhusheng said. "The assistant will draw lucky viewers from among those who guessed correctly in the live stream and send them a private message to claim their prizes. Don't miss it."

"Alright, that concludes today's live stream. See you next time!"

"Bye~"

Yan Zhusheng waved to the camera in the live stream, and Li Luo next to her also said goodbye.

The screen was filled with goodbye comments.

The live stream was shut down very quickly.

Seeing that the live stream was about to close, Li Luo got up and checked several times to make sure the camera was off before covering his forehead and saying helplessly, "What were you doing just now? Huh? What if you got caught?"

"It's so exciting!" Yan Zhusheng blinked innocently, looked at Li Luo standing in front of her, sat down in her chair, raised her hand, and poked Li Luo's underwear. "Look, it's still like this now."

Li Luo: "...But you can't just do whatever you want, okay? Including taking off your pants just now. Don't do this kind of thing again."

"Don't you like it?" Yan Zhusheng moved her chair closer to Li Luo, hugged his waist and rubbed against him. "I feel like you like it quite a bit."

Feeling the girl hugging him, Li Luo took a deep breath to calm his burning anger, and then impatiently lifted her off the chair.

"I'll deal with you when we get home."

"If you want to punish me, you can do it here." Yan Zhusheng stood up, then leaned over the desk, sticking her little bottom up towards Li Luo. "I just locked the door. Do you want to take advantage of me?"

Li Luo: "...Why do I feel like you've suddenly become a lot more mischievous since you started live streaming?"
