It was just a love letter; I'm really no great writer!

The BMW slowed down and stopped in the parking spaces along the road. Zheng Qianyun's face was ashen, like a dark cloud, and she asked sharply:

"Confrontation? What are you going to confront?!"

Why are you being so fierce?

Are you trying to eat people?

No wonder some classmates said she could scare people to death.

In the three months since the female tyrant ruled Huaizhong, all she did was check exercises, crack down on early relationships, and ban cell phones, creating an atmosphere of extreme tension.

A student like Lu Ran, who sleeps in class and writes love letters, would be considered extremely wicked, if not unforgivable, in Zheng Qianyun's era.

However, Lu Ran's dissatisfaction with her was not entirely due to her strict and unreasonable management style.

Rather... it's related to Zuo Hanzhi.

Tian Luojiao mentioned to Lu Ran that when she went to help Zuo Hanzhi move her luggage, Zheng Qianyun had some complaints: "What kind of behavior is it for men and women to share a room!"

Lu Ran later discovered this.

It turns out that Zuo Hanzhi's introverted personality was also deeply influenced by her aunt, Zheng Qianyun.

Zheng Xianyun's parents are both in the education system, and she herself is also engaged in education. She habitually imposes strict self-discipline on each of her children.

Ning Ning was so engrossed in writing that she neglected her family interactions with Zuo Hanzhi.

This resulted in Zuo Hanzhi lacking care during her childhood, which was replaced by her aunt's strict discipline.

Lu Ran originally thought Zheng Qianyun had a naturally fierce appearance.

But seeing her laughing and chatting with her "idol" today, I realized that those who are arrogant towards others will inevitably fawn over those who are superior.

So you're saying you're tyrannical and domineering towards us students?

After accumulating a multitude of emotions, Lu Ran finally erupted from his silence:

"So what if I write poetry and get cocky? So what if I'm arrogant? When you're old, I can easily write a hundred poems of that caliber, and I'm not proud of it! I haven't become complacent; I spend my days studying and writing, and I'm constantly improving! Yes, I've gotten carried away! I don't resent not seeing the ancients, I resent that they didn't see my arrogance!"

His words echoed in the car.

I don't resent that I didn't see the ancients; I resent that they didn't see my madness!

How incredibly reckless and unrestrained this is!

Zheng Qianyun was both shocked and furious, her heart aching with anger. She clutched her ample chest and said, "You... I'm not guilty of nagging you... I'm your principal... I'm Hanzhi's aunt..."

In Zheng Qianyun's subconscious, Hanzhi was like a daughter.

She regarded Lu Ran as Zuo Hanzhi's childhood sweetheart, essentially equivalent to her future son-in-law.

Because of intergenerational trauma, her way of expressing affection is to hit or scold as a sign of love, which is why she is so harsh on Lu Ran.

Little did she know, Lu Ran wouldn't tolerate her at all: "You can manage me, but you can't use my book to suppress me."

"Your book..."

Zheng Qianyun's pupils dilated suddenly, as if she had plunged into an icy lake in winter. "You...you...you...don't lie to me..."

Deep down, she already believed it to be 80%.

As a die-hard fan of the books, she knew the plots of both books by heart, even better than Li Kangze.

Secondly, Li Kangze's manner of speaking is very formal and methodical, which is completely different from the humorous and witty online teacher, Teacher San.

It's clearly riddled with flaws, like a sieve.

However, due to the preconceived notion that "Teacher Umbrella is a middle-aged man," I didn't think about it too much.

But what if Teacher Umbrella is that little rascal Lu Ran?

He wrote love letters that shook the poetry world at a young age, which goes without saying that he was precocious. He also wrote articles and plays with ease.

Lu Ran is like someone who carries a knife but no umbrella on a rainy night...

Even if one is unwilling to admit it psychologically, the facts and logic are irrefutable.

"You're definitely kidding me... Do you have an old man who's always with you...?"

Zheng Qianyun's eyebrows furrowed, like a paper tiger putting on a brave front.

"Hahahaha." Lu Ran was amused by her. "Yes, yes, in my dream a celestial being told me that I am the reincarnation of the Purple Star."

The dream of the parallel world was almost forgotten by Lu Ran after he woke up.

But those historical figures have all become the source of his creative inspiration, an inexhaustible wellspring of ideas.

It's just that the thoughts of literary giants like Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Kafka, Joyce, and Proust were too profound for him to fully grasp.

As for writers like Yu Hua, Jin Yong, Gu Long, Su Tong, Liu Cixin, and Jiang Nan, who are often paid three- or two-fee writers, Lu Ran had already fully grasped their essence during the writing process, surpassing them in skill.

Eliminate their weaknesses, take their talents, and combine them into a hexagonal three-star Lu Ran!

The night was quiet, and the car became a little quieter.

"Let me see your drafts."

Zheng Qianyun crossed her arms, her fair face as red as a sunset.

"Here you are."

Lu Ran opened the drafts folder on his phone and handed it to her.

Zheng Qianyun bit her red lips, carefully looking at the words that had once stirred her emotions or brought her peace every night.

It's him.

In the drafts folder, you can still see the revisions made to the original text of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," such as the detailed adjustments to lines, actions, and expressions.

Revisions are the best indicator of a writer's true skill.

Lu Ran also believed in this truth.

Cao Xueqin revised and edited the book five times over ten years; Tolstoy rewrote the opening chapter of "War and Peace" 15 times and revised the entire text eight times.

"After finishing a piece, read it at least twice, striving to delete any unnecessary words, sentences, or paragraphs without hesitation." "The best way to learn writing is to read the drafts and revisions of great writers." — Lu Xun

For example, after Jin Yong retired from writing, he revised all his previous works. Although the latter were not as well-received as the serialized versions, it was somewhat a case of losing more than he gained...

This further illustrates that revisions require just as much effort as creation.

When creating, Lu Ran never follows old paths; he always incorporates his own literary framework.

"..."

"..."

Silence is spreading.

I hope I won't be too harsh on her... Lu Ran glanced at Zheng Qianyun.

Her cold brows were furrowed, her breathing was rapid and shallow, and her knuckles were white as she pressed her rounded arm, a sign that a volcano was about to erupt.

Suddenly, she turned around, her hands stabbing out like the sinister claws of the Nine Yin!

Finished!

Enraged, this woman tried to kill me...

Lu Ran swallowed hard. My life is over!

But then Zheng Qianyun solemnly straightened his collar and asked without a smile, "Lu Ran, are you feeling quite smug?"

"No, no..." Lu Ran said awkwardly, shrinking his chin.

This female Tyrannosaurus Rex actually gave in?

"Heh, you know perfectly well that I am Qianqian. Not only did you humiliate me in online chat, but you also deliberately asked your uncle to impersonate me today. You just wanted to see me make a fool of myself, didn't you?" Zheng Qianyun glared at him coldly.

Deep within the woman's alluring eyes, a hint of hurt and resentment struck his heart.

"No! I had no idea that Qianqian was you!" Lu Ran said, feeling extremely wronged. "I bumped into my uncle by chance, and I was afraid you would be angry, so I asked him to cover for me..."

"What a coincidence!!" Zheng Qianyun was furious.

"...It's just such a coincidence."

"You're kidding me!"

"..."

Zheng Qianyun's chest heaved violently a few times, and she gasped for breath: "I need to see the draft."

"That won't work."

"Show me!"

"No, no way! Don't bite! ...Hey, are you a dog or something?!"

Fortunately, Zheng Qianyun was appeased by paying the price of ten extra chapters.

It turns out that the principal is also fierce and domineering in private. Fortunately, Hanzhi inherited her mother's intellectual and aloof temperament.

After being taken home, Lu Ran discovered that Qianqian had blocked him...

That's true, she posted so many embarrassing things about herself, she probably can't bear to look at them.

But what's the use of just blocking me? My chat history is still there.

However, Lu Ran kept his promise and released ten chapters of his draft in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as an extra chapter to reward his readers.

The comment section was like Chinese New Year, with everyone spamming "Boss Qian is awesome".

I hope this will comfort her.

……

The next day, morning.

Lu Ran was awakened by a fragrant and soft breeze.

What a wonderful dream...

"Mr. Xiaotian, how did you end up in my bed..." He opened his eyes, suddenly shocked.

I forgot to lock the door last night.

Boys really need to know how to protect themselves when they're out and about.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I suddenly have five million more in my account! What did you do this time!" Tian Luojiao rushed over after receiving a call from the supervisor early in the morning and hurriedly shook Lu Ran awake.

"Oh, calm down, calm down."

Lu Ran suddenly stood up.

I strolled casually to the bedroom and the balcony.

She yelled "Surprise!" and abruptly pulled open the curtain that resembled a JK skirt—

The light, damp drizzle in the early morning slightly spoiled the atmosphere, while the cool blue sunlight streamed in.

"...You'd better put your pants on first!" Tian Luojiao covered her face and ran away.
