After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart
Chapter 159 A Day with Yu Xinyan, the End of "Miss Maybach"
Chapter 159 A Day with Yu Xinyan, the End of "Miss Maybach"
For the next three days, Xu Lin had a rather fulfilling time.
During the day, he diligently teaches classes, and in the evenings, he answers questions for his apprentices. However, because it involves practical teaching, Xu Lin usually replies here in the evenings.
Only on Friday nights do I stay at the duplex until 11 p.m. before going back to the main house.
He recently renovated the guest room and spent some money to get a music system.
Xu Lin's previous song recordings were quite sloppy.
Now that we have a complete set of equipment, the production results are much better.
After leaving the duplex, Xu Lin went straight back to the main house.
But the moment he opened the door, he saw Xia Xiyao coming out of the large bathroom naked, closing the bathroom door behind her.
"Yaoyao, why don't you take a shower in the bathroom in my room? I have an upset stomach..."
Inside the large bathroom, Rong Xiyan spoke with some pain.
They had hot pot tonight, the same kind they had with Xu Lin on Tuesday night. Rong Xiyan had a spicy beef tallow broth this time, and she also ate ice cream afterward. The combination of hot and cold caused her to have an upset stomach while taking a shower, and she's currently in the toilet.
Xia Xiyao, who had just been soaking in the bath for a few minutes, also came out.
She thought Xu Lin was still in the duplex, so she came out of the bathroom naked and barefoot, and was now stepping on the carpet.
But now that Xu Lin is back, Xia Xiyao was startled and didn't cry out. At the same time, she quickly covered her private parts.
But her chest was a different story; Xia Xiyao couldn't cover it with just one hand.
Moreover, what Rong Xiyan and Xia Xiyao said when they were chatting in the bathroom was true; Xia Xiyao's breasts were indeed more beautiful than Rong Xiyan's, but Xu Lin didn't look at them carefully at the time.
This time, it was a fleeting moment of surprise, truly trembling.
Xu Lin saw this but remained calm, whispering, "Go take a shower in the master bathroom first."
"Oh... then don't look yet..."
Xia Xiyao was extremely embarrassed, feeling ashamed beyond belief.
"It's not like we haven't seen this before. Go take a shower."
In TV dramas, when the male lead sees the female lead naked, he covers his eyes and apologizes. Xu Lin wouldn't go that far.
But thinking about it, most domestic dramas are written by women and made for women. How many normal men would do that?
Are you a grown man acting like a gentleman?
The most outrageous thing is that in some domestic dramas, the male lead is taking a shower, and the female lead rushes in naked. In the end, it is the male lead who apologizes, saying something like, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," while the woman calls him a pervert, and sometimes she might even slap him.
It's pretty absurd, really. If it were Xu Lin, he would have just yelled at him, "Damn it, you barged in here and you still dare to talk back!"
It seems that Chinese men have always been being domesticated.
As long as it's not like the previous hot spring incident where there was direct physical contact, Xu Lin didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Xu Lin, then I'll go to your bathroom to take a shower."
"Go."
Xu Lin: "I'm going back to the e-sports room first."
"Uh-huh……"
Xu Lin returned to the e-sports room to continue handling the remaining work.
Xia Xiyao went to take a shower in his room's bathroom.
This time, Xia Xiyao didn't take a long shower, even an hour, but came out in less than ten minutes.
She came into the e-sports room wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, her long legs swaying back and forth.
Both she and Rong Xiyan have long legs, but there are some differences between them. Rong Xiyan has bigger hips, so her thighs are also bigger, but they are still perfect. Xia Xiyao's legs are a little smaller, but they are still stunningly long legs.
Neither of the girls were the skinny type who felt like they were all bones.
"Xu Lin, would you like some fruit tea?"
Having just finished showering, Xia Xiyao, looking as fresh as a lotus emerging from water, said, "Let's not order Bawangchaji this time, let's drink something else."
"What other good drinks do you have?"
"There's a really popular online milk tea brand lately, I might want to give it a try."
"Ok."
Later, Xia Xiyao ordered fruit tea and then went to the outside of the large bathroom to ask Rong Xiyan.
Rong Xiyan couldn't drink iced beverages because of an upset stomach, so Xia Xiyao ordered her a heated milk tea.
"are you ready?"
Xia Xiyao asked from outside.
"Okay, I'm taking a shower now."
Rong Xiyan replied.
"I thought something happened to you."
"Yaoyao, you're the one who got into trouble!"
Rong Xiyan snorted.
Then Xia Xiyao returned and sat down next to Xu Lin.
Seeing that Xu Lin was busy, Xia Xiyao casually said, "I think your two apprentices lately are quite capable."
Five days have passed, and of the ten people in Xu Lin's batch, only two have made it through. The remaining eight haven't even started yet because Xu Lin isn't entirely satisfied and wants them to practice for another week.
So now it's just Zhao Liangchen and Xie Ting.
After another five days of development, Zhao Liangchen's Douyin followers are now approaching three million, but the growth is slowing down.
However, having nearly three million followers is already quite impressive, especially considering that Zhao Liangchen's fans are known for being very active.
Other bloggers may have millions of followers, but it's hard to say what their actual number is.
Besides the big zombie fans, there are also a large number of diving fans.
What are "lurking fans"? They are people who only watch your videos, but don't comment, like, or save them; they just glance at them and scroll past.
But Zhao Liangchen's fans are very active.
The video he posted on Sunday night was just so-so, so he re-edited it and made a higher-quality music video. He then posted it again on Wednesday night, and now, two days later, the video has received over a million likes.
Moreover, Zhao Liangchen follows the rap route, which is a popular field with many young and energetic individuals. His unique path is hard for many to accept, and they consider it unorthodox or heretical.
There was a show before, a certain hip-hop show, and apart from fans of the singer, there were also fans of a few celebrities. People would just swipe away when they saw it, they wouldn't even watch it. Rap isn't for everyone, because the industry is full of flashy and gimmicky stuff.
but.
Zhao Liangchen is different; he has the prestigious reputation of being from Jiangdu University of Finance and Economics, which naturally gives him a strong appeal to the general public.
Two days ago, some people questioned whether he went to the University of Finance and Economics to film the video, saying that he should not use the name of the key university to package himself, but should focus on his music and not do anything crooked. As a result, Zhao Liangchen directly showed his college entrance examination scores and college admission notice, and even made a separate video to pin to the top of the screen.
When everyone saw this, they were amazed. Not to mention rap, even celebrities don't have such a powerful background as him.
Zhao Liangchen scored over 650 points in the college entrance examination. This score truly reflects talent; it's a level that no amount of hard work can achieve.
Those haters have all shut up.
Believe it or not, the people who make the biggest splashes on the internet are often those who aren't very well-educated. The more you read, the more talented people you meet, and the more you realize that there are talented people everywhere in the world. It's just that they are at a higher level and have seen more of the world, so they are more humble.
Recently, Zhao Liangchen has been making steady progress.
Xu Lin will see if he can debut in the rap field.
Xu Lin's idea was simple: he trained these apprentices so they could make money for him. He hadn't considered anything else. Otherwise, would he be doing charity? Obviously not; he was only after money.
Xu Lin doesn't consider things like how many billions his net worth is. He feels that it's enough that he can buy whatever he wants.
At the same time, in this process, such as now that he is entering the entertainment industry, Xu Lin is also making a run for it, just like he did in the online novel world. This is also a pleasant and exciting life experience.
In Xu Lin's view, life is about experiences, and there's no need to worry too much about other trivial matters.
Besides Zhao Liangchen, it's Xie Ting.
Xie Ting is truly talented. Xu Lin helped promote Xie Ting before, and the very next night, Xie Ting's covers of Xu Lin's two songs on QQ Music reached the top two spots on several charts and remained there for more than a day. They are still in the top ten.
However, he could have maintained his first or second place for much longer, but because QQ Music has more big names, Xu Lin's apprentices have all surpassed him, which makes him lose face. Therefore, Xie Ting only stayed in first or second place for a little over a day.
Xu Lin's two songs are currently popular on short video platforms and are used as background music for various short videos.
In the era of short videos, whether a song becomes popular or not depends on how many short videos use it as background music.
As for cover versions, many online celebrities have also covered Xu Lin's two songs.
The same applies to his other two songs.
I just don't know when it will become a popular hit.
Xu Lin also needs to find other people to perform these two songs.
He doesn't pursue a career in the music industry; he writes songs simply to make money, and he doesn't care much about fame.
Nicholas Tse is also doing very well; he could debut in a traditional entertainment industry later on.
Xu Lin plans to write two more songs by the end of the month and then submit them to Xie Ting.
After all, this kid is a promising talent. To get three rewards in his mission, he needs to cultivate five popular musicians. Currently, only Tse Ting has the talent and potential to do so.
He's handsome, has a great voice, and can sing well; no one is more suitable to debut than him.
Hearing Xia Xiyao's words, Xu Lin said, "Things are going well for them, let's see how things go later."
"Are they going to debut as celebrities?" Xia Xiyao asked curiously.
"They both want to debut, it's up to them to decide."
Xu Lin: "Debuting is complicated. You have to sign with a company, right? And then there are all sorts of other things, right?"
"Correct."
"So I'm just responsible for producing content; as for them, they're still in the stage of waiting for the best price."
There's no news from Xie Ting yet, but Zhao Liangchen has already been contacted by a media company.
Zhao Liangchen specifically asked him about this, and Xu Lin told him to calm down and not worry about it this year.
If you sign with a company before things are stable, you basically have no bargaining power. Do you think capitalists will have any conscience? Obviously not. To capitalists, you are just a tool to make money. If you sign a contract carelessly, you will have to work for them later. If you don't have enough bargaining chips, you will be at their mercy. For the average person, a contract should be for at least three to five years. If you don't have enough bargaining chips, you should stay calm.
"What about the other eight people?"
"The eight of them aren't very good. They're okay as minor singers, but they're not very successful. Or at most, their songs are popular, but they themselves aren't."
That's just how realistic the entertainment industry is.
Xu Lin and Xia Xiyao kept talking about this topic.
Time quickly came to midnight, and shortly after the milk tea was delivered, Rong Xiyan came out of the bathroom.
She came out wearing only a short-sleeved shirt and underwear, without a bra.
Xu Lin glanced at it and was relieved that it wasn't Xia Xiyao's underwear.
The evenings are always the same old things. Today is Friday, and it's Rong Xiyan's usual feeding time. Every Friday night, I have to feed Rong Xiyan until she's full before she goes to sleep.
The next day, Xu Lin went out to play with the two girls again.
The weather has been quite nice these past two days, with plenty of sunshine and temperatures rising considerably, reaching around 15 or 16 degrees Celsius during the day.
Xu Lin spent his days taking Rong Xiyan and the other girl out to play.
Jiangdu is very large and bustling. As long as your financial situation allows, there are so many places to visit.
In the afternoon, everyone had a meal.
Xu Lin wasn't full either; he only ate a little bit. After sending them back, Xu Lin left.
At 7 p.m. on Saturday, Xu Lin went to Jiangdu University to pick up Yu Xinyan.
They usually chat on WeChat, and Xu Lin hasn't seen her for a month.
It's been a long time since then.
"Xu Lin, long time no see!"
Yu Xinyan saw Xu Lin and excitedly ran over.
She was wearing a sweatshirt and slim-fit jeans today.
Xu Lin grabbed the other person's clothes and found they weren't thick enough.
Although it was only 15 or 16 degrees Celsius during the day, it got quite cold at night, with a large temperature difference, which is typical for winter.
"Is it cold?"
"I'm not cold with you here!"
"Stop with the nonsense, aren't you cold?"
"not cold!"
Yu Xinyan quickly shook her head, "I'm really not cold, I'm not lying to you!"
"Never mind, let's go get some food first."
"Mmm, time to eat!"
Xu Lin and his group went to an affordable restaurant. According to the reviews on Meituan, the restaurant had pretty high ratings.
Jiangdu certainly has better restaurants, but they are also more expensive. However, most people are ordinary people, and expensive restaurants are not available on this app.
"Yan Yan, I want to try home-cooked meals next time."
What is "private kitchen cuisine"?
"It means having the chef cook for us what we want to eat separately, or the delicious dishes they usually serve."
"Oh, I see."
"By the way, Xu Lin, when do you get your vacation?"
"It'll be mid-January, our final exams aren't until the 12th."
"We all finished our exams on the 12th, and then we'll have a holiday."
Yu Xinyan smiled and said, "My mom said she'll pick me up in her car, let's go back together!"
"You should go back first, I still have some things to take care of."
"OK then."
Yu Xinyan didn't think much of it.
Actually, Ning Yuhan and her classmates' summer vacation starts on the 12th, so they can go straight home.
However, Xu Lin also promised Ning Yuhan that he would take her home and visit her family.
After the two finished eating, it was already past eight o'clock.
Xu Lin then took Yu Xinyan shopping.
While shopping, Xu Lin and his friends passed by a stall that also sold ring tosses.
Xu Lin saw a Mickey Mouse doll, which looked quite nice.
Do you like Mickey Mouse? I'll get you one.
"I'll love it if you give it to me!" Yu Xinyan said with great anticipation.
"Then I'll give you one!"
Xu Lin only threw the ring once this time, and he hit it, successfully winning the Mickey Mouse doll that was supposedly worth a full six hundred yuan.
Xu Lin thought to himself, "I don't believe you. This thing is worth six hundred?"
However, Yu Xinyan held the half-human-sized Mickey Mouse in her arms, unable to put it down.
Actually, the monetary value is not important; what matters is that emotional value has been created.
Yu Xinyan really likes it.
Around 10 p.m., Xu Lin checked into a hotel.
"Xu Lin, do you want to wash first or should I?"
"You wash first."
"Then I'll wash first."
Then Yu Xinyan took off her clothes. She seemed to have no more scruples now, and she took off her clothes with her back to Xu Lin without going into the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, Yu Xinyan came out, also naked. Although she had wiped herself down, she was still a little damp from the shower, and even a lotus emerging from the water couldn't look this beautiful.
"Xu Lin, it's your turn to take a shower."
Yu Xinyan was a little shy.
Xu Lin urged her to get dressed, "The hotel beds and blankets aren't very clean, so get dressed."
"Know it!"
"Xu Lin, go take a shower."
Xu Lin then took off his clothes and went into the bathroom, but he was still wearing his underwear.
When Xu Lin came out, he saw that Yu Xinyan was already dressed and sitting at the table using her laptop.
"Xu Lin, where are we going tomorrow?"
"You're free tomorrow, right?"
"Have!"
"Let's go to the library to read some books in the morning, have lunch, and then I'll take you out to play in the afternoon."
"Then let's arrange it this way!"
Yu Xinyan closed her laptop and came to the bedside.
She was bolder than before, and sat directly on Xu Lin's lap, facing him, and put her arms around his neck.
"Xu Lin has grown up."
"How do I grow up? Didn't I grow up a long time ago?"
Xu Lin was somewhat puzzled.
"That's not how it is. You used to play games all the time, sometimes even playing day and night. Now you can read books!"
"Just reading a book, nothing special."
Xu Lin didn't care.
"But you've changed so much, you've become good at making money, and you've become so outstanding."
"Then I'll grow up eventually, right?" "Yes, yes."
Yu Xinyan nodded and said, "Xu Lin, I want a kiss."
"Kissing is allowed, okay? Behave yourself this time."
"Humph!"
"What a little lecher."
Xu Lin initiated the kiss, and the two kissed for several minutes.
"Don't do that, you'll really get a sore throat."
"Ha ha……"
"Let's go to sleep, we'll get up early tomorrow."
"Uh-huh."
Snapped!
The lights are off.
The two covered themselves with the blanket.
Later, sometime in the middle of the night, Xu Lin had another nightmare.
This dream was even more outrageous. Xu Lin discovered that Yu Xinyan had stabbed him and made him carry his head across the ocean.
What plot is this?
Xu Lin woke up in the middle of the night, regretting that he had watched "School Days" out of curiosity and projected himself into the story.
"Oh shit!"
"I had another nightmare."
"What are you doing?"
"You're up to no good in the middle of the night, I'll help you out..."
Yu Xinyan knelt there, her face flushed and looking aggrieved.
"Where are my pants?"
Xu Lin's underwear was nowhere to be found again, and so was Yu Xinyan's. They were completely naked. The room was dark, but the outline of Yu Xinyan's breathtakingly beautiful figure could be vaguely seen.
"here……"
Yu Xinyan gave the underwear to Xu Lin.
"Aren't you going to put on some clothes?"
Oh shit!
Xu Lin was speechless. The main problem was that he had a nightmare. Last time, he dreamed that Yu Jianhua chopped him up twice. Xu Lin was traumatized by it.
"I'm going to brush my teeth!"
Yu Xinyan was quite happy. She got out of bed and went to brush her teeth with her bare bottom exposed.
A few minutes later.
"Xu Lin, I'm back!"
"Suit up."
"No, I always sleep naked with the bedroom door closed at home!"
Yu Xinyan lay down, brought her nose close to Xu Lin's neck, and pulled the blanket over herself.
"Xu Lin, go to sleep!"
"Damn it, if you do this again, I'm not going to sleep in a hotel with you next time. You dare to sneak up on me in the middle of the night, I was just..."
"What else?"
Xu Lin thought about it and decided not to say anything. There's really nothing to say about having nightmares, especially the nightmare of being stabbed by Yu Xinyan.
"It's nothing, go to sleep."
"Xu Lin..."
"what?"
Would Ning Yuhan help you like that?
"Go to sleep, why are you talking about this?"
"Mmm, time to sleep."
"be honest."
"Know it."
Yu Xinyan closed her eyes, buried her nose in Xu Lin's neck, and breathed in his scent. She felt a sense of peace.
Nothing happened that night, and this time it went straight to dawn.
After washing up, the two went out for breakfast.
Around 8 a.m., Xu Lin and his group arrived at the city library.
Xu Lin hasn't come out to read this week.
So this morning, he skimmed through both the Old History of the Five Dynasties and the New History of the Five Dynasties, and basically memorized the whole book.
After that, only five sets of the Twenty-Four Histories remain: the History of Song, the History of Liao, the History of Jin, the History of Yuan, and the History of Ming.
According to Xu Lin's reading plan, he can finish reading the remaining five sets of history books in a few more days this month.
"Xu Lin, do you want to study history in the future?"
When the two came out, Xu Lin mentioned that there were still five sets of the Twenty-Four Histories left to read, and Yu Xinyan couldn't help but ask him about it.
"I don't want to, I'm just curious and want to see, and now I have a more macro-level understanding of history."
"After seeing so much, I have gained a deep understanding."
"Not at all. Reading a few books doesn't necessarily give you a deep understanding. Besides, the history we're studying today is the history of the previous dynasty. We're the victors today, and history is written by the victors, so official history isn't necessarily accurate. But reading history is mainly about helping me develop certain ways of thinking. Whether it's historical or not is not important."
Xu Lin pointed to his brain, "The way of thinking that understands history, society, the nation, and human nature is even more important!"
Xu Lin felt he benefited greatly from reading history books.
History books actually record a great deal of information, from which we can learn a lot.
For example, Han Xin and Guo Ziyi were both famous meritorious officials in history, but Han Xin died a violent death, while Guo Ziyi lived to be over eighty years old and died peacefully in his sleep without suffering any persecution.
These two reminded Xu Lin of a line from the Tao Te Ching: "When one has achieved success and fame, one should retire; this is the way of Heaven."
However, Han Xin didn't understand, and just did it anyway.
History books contain countless stories of all kinds of people's lives, from which Xu Lin can learn a great deal of historical experience.
"Xu Lin, you've really changed a lot!"
"It's alright. Tell me, where do you want to go for fun?"
"I don't know either, I'll listen to you!"
"Okay, I'll go have lunch first, then I'll think about where to go for fun."
"Uh-huh."
The two had a nice lunch, and in the afternoon, Xu Lin took her to visit the scenic area.
The weather is warmer today, and it's not too cold during the day.
The two visited two scenic spots.
Yu Xinyan likes taking photos, much like Rong Xiyan.
However, there is a fundamental difference between the two. Yu Xinyan only takes pictures of Xu Lin, or pictures of her and Xu Lin together, and doesn't take any other pictures, because the beautiful scenery in front of her is very nice.
Rong Xiyan will film anything, as long as she's interested.
The two spent the entire afternoon visiting two scenic spots.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon when Xu Lin took her out for a private meal.
Private kitchens are different from ordinary restaurants. The one Xu Lin went to was a family-run private kitchen located in an ancient building.
So-called family-run private cuisine refers to the private dishes passed down from famous and prestigious families throughout history.
For example, the restaurant that Xu Lin and his friends went to was called Chen Family Cuisine.
In contrast to family-run private kitchens, there are folk private kitchens, which are the private dishes made by some outstanding folk chefs.
Xu Lin went straight to the private kitchen of the deceased.
He had heard about private kitchens online before, but had never tried them.
This time, we finally found one after a lot of trouble.
As a first-tier city, Jiangdu has quite a few private restaurants like this.
However, the price is really high.
For example, there's a dish here called "Golden Minced Meat and Jade Slices," which mainly features fish, but a single serving costs over five thousand.
For example, a dish of sika deer meat can cost tens of thousands of yuan here.
These are artificially bred sika deer; wild ones are already protected animals.
"Xu Lin, isn't this too expensive?"
Yu Xinyan looked at the price and felt it was a bit outrageous.
"It's okay, I'm not short of money, so we should eat well. Just listen to me."
Xu Lin and his group were quite unusual to come here; they had an electric scooter parked outside.
Everyone else parks luxury cars, like Maybachs or older Audi models.
Especially the older Audi models, those were not for ordinary people.
There weren't many people in the private restaurant.
Xu Lin made the reservation last night while Yu Xinyan was taking a shower, otherwise there wouldn't have been any seats available today.
They only see a limited number of people per day, and generally you need to make an appointment.
Xu Lin ordered four dishes and four bowls of rice. Because he ate a lot, the total cost was around 19,000 yuan.
He originally wanted to order venison, but ultimately didn't.
Yu Xinyan is not very accepting of eating venison.
For most people, they have only ever eaten chicken, duck, goose, pork, and beef, which can all be bought in the market. People in the north can also buy mutton, and dog meat is also common, but that's about it. Most of the meat from other animals comes from protected animals.
The Celestial Dragons can even eat protected animals. There was even a corrupt official who ate pandas before the news reports. There's nothing these people wouldn't dare to eat. Money and power can infinitely amplify a person's desires.
Xu Lin only ordered proper dishes, but the prices weren't low either; that's how it is with private kitchens.
A little after six o'clock, Xu Lin took Yu Xinyan back to school.
Goodbye, Xu Lin!
Yu Xinyan hugged her Mickey Mouse doll, reluctant to part with it. She didn't know when they would meet again.
"Let's go back, I need to go back for roll call too."
"Uh-huh."
"goodbye!"
Xu Lin turned the handlebars and drove away. Yu Xinyan didn't sigh and return to school until Xu Lin was out of sight.
It was past six o'clock, and it was already dark.
Xu Lin returned to school just in time for the class meeting.
The next few days were uneventful yet fulfilling, and Xu Lin's career progressed steadily.
In the past few days, Xu Lin has finished writing the last outline, which is an outline for an urban novel with multiple female protagonists.
However, it's not a rebirth story.
Eighteen-year-old Xu Lin dislikes rebirth stories; he can't relate to the tale of a middle-aged man being reborn.
In his own books, or in the outlines he gave to the monks, the male protagonists were all young boys.
This time it's an urban story with multiple female protagonists, and I'm giving it a rough outline for Moonlight Night.
Previously, Yueye had been thinking of collaborating with Xu Lin again, and Xu Lin had agreed, but he hadn't had time to write a new outline. This week, he finally finished it.
In the Moonlit Night group, there are five people in total. Wu Chengfeng and the other three have already taken off and are all guaranteed to be Platinum or second-tier top players this year. Only Moonlit Night is still waiting.
He was the first person Xu Lin collaborated with after entering this industry. He was a good person, and even shared his profits with Xu Lin.
Therefore, Xu Lin didn't mind giving him a hand.
Friday night.
Xu Lin sent the outline to the other party, along with the contract.
Xu Lin no longer uses paper contracts; he handles everything with electronic contracts.
He had previously created a simple website, but now it's much more complete, and Xu Lin uses it for all his collaborations with others.
"Thank you, sir!"
Upon receiving the outline, Yueye was overwhelmed with gratitude. Of the five people in the group, he was the only one who hadn't made any progress while everyone else had taken off. It would be strange if he wasn't upset.
Xu Lin: "That's all for now. Feel free to ask me any questions later. I wish you all the best in becoming a master next year."
"Thank you so much, sir! I'm in awe.jpg"
"Ah."
Xu Lin replied with a single word.
This is his last outline; he will be fading out of the industry after this.
In the world of online novels, he has already reached his peak, so it means nothing to Xu Lin anymore.
He wasn't particularly interested in writing novels to begin with.
"There are only about 100,000 words left in the novel, plus a few extra chapters. Let's finish it this weekend!"
Xu Lin didn't want to drag it out, so he decided to challenge himself and write over 100,000 words in one go to finish the novel completely.
Today is December 11th, which is mid-December.
Current time: Friday evening, 8 PM.
Xu Lin was in the duplex apartment. Because he had to work there, it was quieter as he was the only one there.
He switched WeChat back to his main account and saw the message Xia Xiyao had sent a minute earlier.
"Xu Lin, we're ordering the Overlord Tea Girl, do you want some?"
"Two cups of orange flavor for all seasons, with a little sugar and less ice."
Hey.
"Two cups?" the other person replied.
"Correct."
"Then I'll place the order for you!"
"Ok, thanks."
"Yeah, it's okay."
Xu Lin didn't reply again and started typing.
About half an hour later, Xu Lin had just typed a little over 10,000 words.
Xia Xiyao sent a message: "Xu Lin, your fruit tea will arrive soon, remember to pick it up!"
Xu Lin replied: "OK, thanks."
The other person replied with a cute nodding emoji.
After a while, someone rang the doorbell.
Xu Lin went downstairs to pick up his takeout.
After that, Xu Lin turned off his phone and threw it over the bed.
I've started to enter a state of extreme focus and dedication to my work.
This time, Xu Lin worked continuously for ten hours, from 8 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. the next day, a total of ten and a half hours.
People can be strange sometimes; they're often more excited in the early hours of the morning.
For example, between 2:00 and 3:30 a.m., Xu Lin typed more than 40,000 words in an hour and a half, which was half an hour faster than his usual speed. He usually types about 20,000 words per hour.
Moreover, aside from occasional pauses and two bathroom breaks, Xu Lin spent a full ten hours writing.
In the end, Xu Lin wrote 230,000 words, which was unprecedented.
It includes 170,000 words of main text and 60,000 words of side stories.
The ending of the 170,000-word main story is that the protagonist Xu Lin and Chi Linyue have twin girls. In addition, they have resolved all the conflicts between their families. When Chi Linyue is two months pregnant, the two get married. The protagonist Xu Lin's career is progressing steadily, but it is not a big career. For example, like in other novels, the protagonist becomes the richest person in the country or the world. Xu Lin does not write such things because he thinks they are not interesting.
After reading many history books, his thinking changed. He realized that in this world, it's best to be low-key, and that everything should be done in moderation, without pursuing perfection or the ultimate goal.
