"Go back and read the novel later, don't peek now. •°¤*(¯`★´¯)*¤° 69𝔰𝓗𝔲𝓧.¢𝐨ᗰ °¤*(¯´★`¯)*¤°•."

Li Haoyu said.

Why?

Zhou Rong was somewhat puzzled.

"Is that even a question?"

"Of course, I'm afraid you'll be so moved by my novel that you'll end up crying in my arms."

"This is near your house now. If your parents find out, I'll get points deducted from my license."

Zhou Rong nodded. "Okay, I'll take a look when I get home. But if it's not as good as you say, you just wait and see."

Li Haoyu said, "Don't worry about that. I'm very confident in what I wrote. But I've come all this way, are you just going to let me leave like this?"

Zhou Rong glanced at Li Haoyu. "Otherwise, what do you want?"

Li Haoyu said, "I don't want to say more about this. Just do what you think is best and it all depends on your own understanding."

After saying that, Li Haoyu closed his eyes.

He looked like he was waiting for Zhou Rong to make her next move.

"Why haven't we taken any action yet?"

Li Haoyu couldn't help but urge Zhou Rong on.

Zhou Rong's eyes darted around.

Then a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

Got it!

"What's the rush? I'm thinking about how to reward you."

Zhou Rong smiled and said.

Li Haoyu said, "Then hurry up and get started, I'm getting impatient."

Zhou Rong smiled. "I did promise to give you a small reward, but not now."

"Are you trying to keep me in suspense?"

Zhou Rong paused for a moment, then asked, "Is that not allowed?"

"Besides, you're still in the probationary period. I'm not that kind of girl."

After Zhou Rong finished speaking, she could clearly feel Li Haoyu's body stiffen slightly.

But before Li Haoyu could speak...

Zhou Rong continued, "Actually, I've thought about whether you'd be unhappy if I rejected you."

"But I said it anyway, because I think if it's the right person, they won't get angry over these little things."

Zhou Rong leaned against a tree.

Her eyes were bright as she stared intently at Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu had every reason to believe that Zhou Rong was truly flirting at this moment.

Li Haoyu said, "Alright then, but I really have to go now."

Just as Li Haoyu was about to turn around...

Zhou Rong then grabbed Li Haoyu's hand.

"Wait a minute."

Li Haoyu said, "What's wrong? If you feel indebted to me now, it's still not too late to make amends."

Zhou Rong shook her head, gesturing for Li Haoyu to come to her side. 💎✌ 69SнǗx.Č𝓞爪🐍🐠

Li Haoyu naturally wouldn't refuse.

At this point, Zhou Rong said, "I have one more question. Why aren't you writing to me anymore?"

"this one?"

Li Haoyu's face showed a look of surprise.

She thought Zhou Rong had called him over to say something.

"Now that I'm right in front of you, there's no need for me to write anymore. Besides, we were just pen pals before, but now you're my girlfriend."

"Is that really the reason?"

Zhou Rong looked dejected.

Li Haoyu chuckled and whispered in Zhou Rong's ear, "Looks like I've disappointed you in person. Am I too ugly? Maybe it's better not to have met you at all?"

Zhou Rong was amused by Li Haoyu's self-deprecating remark.

Zhou Rong gave him a serious look, sizing him up from head to toe.

"It's not as bad as you say, but it just doesn't have much appeal. Actually, you're more charming when you write letters, especially since you always end each one with a little poem."

Li Haoyu said in surprise, "According to you, I've brought this upon myself? What you're saying is making me a little embarrassed."

Zhou Rong smiled, but neither of them spoke after that.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Zhou Rong also felt it was not good.

At that moment, she glanced at the novel in her hand.

She suddenly thought of a topic, "Didn't you write science fiction novels before? Is this one also science fiction?"

Li Haoyu patted his chest and said, "This time I've changed tracks; I'm not writing science fiction anymore, I'm writing romance and mystery novels instead."

Zhou Ronglu smiled upon hearing this.

After a moment, she said, "The mystery is mystery, and the romance is romance. This doesn't seem to fit together very well. If you're so willful, you might ruin the novel."

Li Haoyu sighed dramatically.

"That's right. Actually, I'm not very optimistic about the future of this novel either. Like you said, this is an experiment, and the market may not be optimistic about it either."

"If the novel flops, I might be left with nothing but the northwest wind."

"So if you fail, I'll have to take the blame."

Zhou Rong also said something.

Li Haoyu initially just said it casually, but he gradually became more and more convincing, truly acting as if he were worried about his future as a young writer.

Zhou Rong also became much more serious.

She encouraged him very seriously.

"Isn't this a great attempt? Besides, who says there can't be romance in mystery novels? I think this is a great innovation."

"Besides, it's not a big deal if it doesn't work out this time. There's always next time. Many great writers only became famous in their forties or fifties."

"You're so young, what are you worried about? Besides, I still have the hundred yuan you gave me saved up here. Keep writing, you won't starve."

Li Haoyu glanced at Zhou Rong. 🐲💞 ➅❾ѕᕼ𝓊Ж.Ⓒ𝓞Ⓜ 🐙ඏ

"Don't worry, I'm actually very confident about this little thing... I was just kidding you earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have brought it to you in person. Once you've seen it, you'll know I wasn't lying."

Zhou Rong looked at Li Haoyu and saw how confident he was.

A smile slowly spread across her face, her eyes sparkling. "Then I'll take a good look tonight, and give you a fair evaluation after I've finished."

Li Haoyu nodded, "Absolutely! I'm just afraid you won't be able to point out any of my shortcomings by then."

Zhou Rong smiled and said, "Then it's a deal. If it really is as you say, I'll increase your reward next time we meet."

Li Haoyu turned to look at Zhou Rong. "Do you know that what you're saying right now is just empty promises?"

Zhou Rong asked with some confusion, "What do you mean by 'drawing a pie in the sky'?"

"are you hungry?"

Li Haoyu explained, "This is our local dialect."

"This generally refers to making absurd and unrealistic promises, then using sweet talk to make people believe and serve them, and finally failing to fulfill those promises or running away."

Zhou Rong's smile grew even brighter.

She laughed and said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with saying that."

Li Haoyu was surprised that Zhou Rong had admitted it so frankly.

He was truly speechless.

However, Li Haoyu looked at Zhou Rong's burning gaze.

He couldn't even find the words to complain.

Because of the way he kept looking at Zhou Rong. It was a light that suddenly brightened. Like a young girl gazing at him with adoration, just like when she first fell in love.

Then there's that shy, almost inconspicuous little smile on her face.

And the proud smile that had just appeared.

Its destructive power is indeed quite significant.

Even a seasoned driver like Li Haoyu couldn't resist those adoring looks.

Li Haoyu rolled his eyes. "Couldn't you have lied to me a little? Did you have to be so honest?"

Zhou Rong smiled again, "That's not contradictory. I encouraged you earlier because I was worried you lacked confidence. But the way you are now, it seems like I don't need to lie to you at all."

"Besides, I do believe in your abilities."

Hearing Zhou Rong say this, Li Haoyu raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "Then I'll take your words as your agreement with me."

Zhou Rong pointed to the novel very seriously and said, "Don't worry about that, I never lie. I will definitely read your novel carefully when I get back."

Li Haoyu nodded. "That's settled then. Looks like I'll have to go home empty-handed today. I hope you can surprise me next time we meet."

Zhou Rong glanced at Li Haoyu.

It seems he really is leaving.

Li Haoyu added to himself, "But I'm still really looking forward to your reward, mainly because we haven't known each other for very long, otherwise I wouldn't have let you off so easily..."

"Actually, I have some thoughts about it too, but since we're already dating, there's no need to rush."

Zhou Rong did not reply to Li Haoyu directly.

"But I don't think you're being very restrained either. The way you look at me is like you want to devour me alive."

She said it, pretending not to care.

"Of course, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. You're so beautiful, wouldn't you find it strange if I didn't have any feelings for you?"

Li Haoyu took Zhou Rong's hand.

"Besides, tonight is just one of countless nights we've spent alone. From now on, we can go out for a walk like this every day and chat."

He looked at him with deep affection; "Why should I be in such a hurry?"

"Although I've stopped this time, I'll get serious next time we meet..." Li Haoyu silently added in his mind.

Anyway, it was only a matter of time, and Zheng Juan is in the same boat. Neither of you will escape!

Li Haoyu has finished his declaration.

Zhou Rong, unusually, did not continue speaking.

After a while.

Zhou Rong suddenly laughed: "Do you realize that you're wasting an opportunity? If you keep pestering me, I might just soften my heart."

Li Haoyu suggested, "Actually, I think you should use a word like 'magnificent' to praise me."

Zhou Rong was stunned for a moment.

She couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness.

She curled her lip, "You really know how to flatter yourself."

Li Haoyu's lips curled up slightly.

"After a while, you'll know whether what I said is true or false."

Zhou Rong looked at Li Haoyu, whose smug expression was even more apparent under the moonlight.

Zhou Rong gave Li Haoyu a meaningful look.

"Maybe so, but you're definitely not going to succeed today."

…………

Zhou Rong returned home quickly.

Although nothing happened, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

This also caught Li Suhua's attention.

She couldn't help but say, "Why are you so happy, girl? You're all beaming."

Zhou Rong hadn't spoken yet.

Zhou Bingkun, who was standing to the side, answered first.

"What else could it be? She must be in love. My sister has been smiling like a flower bud these past few days. She's never this happy, not even if she found money."

Zhou Rong got angry as soon as she heard that.

She rushed up to Zhou Bing and said, "Have I been giving you a lot of attention lately? Well, have you gotten too cocky now?"

At this moment, Zhou Bingkun was being choked by Zhou Rong... in a physical way.

He pounded on the table, trying to get his mother to save him.

On the other hand, Zhou Bingkun also took the initiative to beg for mercy, "Sister, didn't you realize I was just joking? Please let go, I really can't breathe."

Zhou Rong let go.

Zhou Bingkun immediately began to gasp for breath.

"Alright, stop pretending. Do you think I don't know whether I used my strength or not? Tell me, what exactly are you trying to achieve by acting all pitiful and playing the victim?"

Sure enough, Zhou Bingkun's expression changed as quickly as flipping through a book. "It's nothing really, it's just that I'm completely broke lately. Could you lend me two yuan to tide me over?"

Zhou Rong revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

She always knows exactly what she's going to do.

His reaction just now was indeed a bit too outrageous.

She took two yuan out of her pocket and handed it to Zhou Bingkun. "I'm giving you the money, but don't spend it recklessly. You won't be so lucky next time."

Zhou Bingkun immediately beamed with joy, as if he had become a completely different person.

"My older sister is generous and powerful, unlike Mom who is so indecisive. I begged her for ages but she still wouldn't give me a penny."

Li Sufang, who was standing to the side, also changed her expression. "You brat, how dare you say that to my face? Do you want to die?"

Seeing that things were not going well, Zhou Bingkun quickly slipped away.

Li Sufang then asked, "Is what your brother said true? Are you really dating Xiaoguang?"

"If it's him, it's actually not bad, but you still need to be careful about the impact."

She was still somewhat worried about Zhou Rong.

Zhou Rong glanced helplessly at her mother. "I've told you so many times, Cai Xiaoguang and I are just good friends."

"The reason why there are such rumors outside is that I haven't specifically clarified it; I just wanted to avoid trouble."

"Really?"

Zhou Rong noticed that her mother looked somewhat skeptical.

She tilted her head back and said, "I might as well tell you that I already have someone I like, and that person is not Cai Xiaoguang."

At this point, Li Sufang could no longer hold back.

"What's that boy's name? Is he also from your school? How many people are in his family? How long have you been seeing each other?"

Zhou Rong said, "I can't say too much right now, but just know that he exists. I really like him. He's the man I'm going to marry."

Li Sufang heard Zhou Rong say this.

She couldn't help but frown.

Just as she was about to ask a few more questions, Zhou Rong hurriedly ran to her room and even closed the door.

Zhou Rong sat down at the desk and carefully took out the manuscript that Li Haoyu had given her.

The new novel was originally titled "The Devotion of Suspect X".

It really is a mystery novel.

Zhou Rong was a little surprised. In fact, she also felt that since Li Haoyu was talented in science fiction, he should continue to do so and shouldn't change the subject matter for his second book.

To be honest, Zhou Rong didn't really like detective novels. In her opinion, detective novels were just about finding different ways to kill people, a meaningless activity.

However, this was written by Li Haoyu, so it might really be different from typical mystery novels.

Zhou Rong opened the novel with a sense of anticipation.
