Senior, don't be afraid, I'll protect you.

Luo Ye stood at the entrance of Zhouye Bookstore. He looked up and glanced at the glaring sun overhead, feeling a wave of heat wash over him.

On his phone was a message from his fairy-like senior.

The senior student is eating ice cream.

Luo Ye left the bookstore and went to the nearby Snow King Milk Tea shop, where he bought an ice cream for two yuan.

He also took a picture and sent it to the fairy-like senior.

Mr. Luo: I have this.

Just as Luo Ye finished eating, he was about to take a bite when he lost his balance and tripped over something.

Fortunately, he had good balance and reacted quickly, regaining his footing.

But the ice cream wasn't so lucky. Luo Ye stared at the ice cream that had turned into a lump on the ground, his face full of black lines.

All he had left in his hand was an ice cream cone.

Luo Ye's lips twitched, and he took another photo to send to the fairy senior.

Mr. Luo: [Image].

Mr. Luo: It fell to the ground (crying emoji).

Upon seeing this message, Su Baizhou, sitting alone on the sofa, couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile.

The junior is so pitiful.

Lady Zhou: [Animated emoticon] (Luo Ye: I can't live anymore, the little figure leaps down.)

She thought Ouyang Mingyue must be a genius to have captured such interesting expressions from her junior.

She feels she can use this emoji for the rest of her life.

Mrs. Zhou: Why don't you ask the staff to add some more for you?

Mr. Luo: That's not a good idea...

Mrs. Zhou: Their shop is pretty good, you can go and tell them.

Since they were all shops on the same street, Su Baizhou was somewhat familiar with the other shops as well.

Moreover, she studied at Jiangnan University for three years and was very familiar with the shops on the street opposite the school.

With a try-it-and-see attitude, Luo Ye returned to the Snow King Milk Tea Shop and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Um, I dropped this..."

The shop assistant smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll make you a new one."

Luo Ye's ice cream just fell to the ground, which she witnessed firsthand, and she almost couldn't help but laugh.

The ice cream was refilled, and Luo Ye began to eat.

Back in the bookstore, with the air conditioning on and ice cream in hand, it was so comfortable.

Now that he had some free time, Luo Ye went back upstairs after finishing his ice cream and started writing.

As time passed and the sun gradually set, Luo Ye sat by the window, stretched, and finally finished writing tomorrow's update.

At this moment, the door to VIP room number 3 opened, and Long Jin came out. After noticing that Luo Ye was still there, she hesitated for a moment, then walked over and asked in a low voice, "Instructor Luo, do you usually write here?"

Upon hearing the sound, Luo Ye instinctively looked over.

"Not necessarily," Luo Ye said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Long Jin bit her lower lip, revealing a pitiful expression.

Of course, it wasn't that she felt sorry for herself, but rather that she didn't know what to say. She wanted to strike up a conversation with Luo Ye about the novel, but she didn't know how to begin.

After all, she had basically never spoken to any boys, let alone taken the initiative to get to know them.

Seeing that Long Jin was still beside him, looking conflicted, Luo Ye looked over and asked expressionlessly, "Is there anything else?"

“Um… Instructor Luo.”

"I'm not an instructor now," Luo Ye said calmly.

"Senior Luo..."

Long Jin said softly, "I also want to write a novel, but I don't know where to start."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye was slightly taken aback.

This was Long Jin's main purpose. After arriving at Jiangda University, her greatest interest was getting to know this author and exchanging ideas about writing.

She had never taken the initiative before, so she didn't know how to get to know Luo Ye.

As for whether she has feelings for Luo Ye, as Shen Qiao said, at least for now, she doesn't have that thought in her mind.

After all, she hadn't met Luo Ye yet; she just thought he was very capable and was somewhat curious about him.

In my grandfather's words, at an age when one should be returning to one's roots, being able to write such a wonderful work already makes him an exceptionally talented person.

Perhaps Luo Ye is not as good as Long Jin in literary creation, but in novel writing, Long Jin is worlds apart from Luo Ye.

This is the real reason why Long Jin wanted to see Luo Ye.

It's important to understand that while literary creation may sound sophisticated, in this fast-paced era, few people are willing to appreciate literary works.

Online novels have become mainstream in society.

However, compared to most formulaic novels, the fact that an excellent online novel can stand out is enough to demonstrate the creator's strength.

Long Jin has the talent, but she has no experience in novel writing, so she doesn't know much about these things.

Luo Ye never expected that the granddaughter of the chairman of the Jiangcheng Writers Association would want to write a novel.

"Long Jin, come with me."

Luo Ye stood up and led Long Jin to the first floor.

The environment on the second floor is not suitable for discussing business.

On the first floor, Luo Ye casually sat down at a table by the window, while Long Jin sat in front of him, asking with a face full of curiosity, "Senior, how did you write the book 'Youth Continues'?"

"Heartbroken."

Luo Ye said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Long Jin was stunned, seemingly unable to believe her ears. She asked in surprise, "What, heartbroken...heartbroken?"

"Yes, only through experience can you write stories that are more immersive."

The opening of "Youth Continues" tells the story of a high school graduate who is heartbroken.

Of course, that's not entirely accurate, since it ended before he even fell in love with anyone.

Fortunately, his relationship with Tang Enqi was not bound by any romantic feelings; their relationship was simply a pure friendship.

"What are your thoughts?" Luo Ye asked.

"idea?"

"When writing a novel, you need a plot outline, right?"

Upon hearing this, Long Jin revealed a serious expression and said, "I also want to write about romance."

"Have you ever been in love?"

"No...no."

"Then let me ask you a different question: Have you ever had someone you liked?"

"No...no."

"Then I don't think you can write it."

Luo Ye glanced at Long Jin.

"Does writing a novel necessarily require experiencing something firsthand? But how could those cultivation and martial arts novels possibly have experienced those things..."

"Cultivating immortality and martial arts are actually experiences, but they are released in an imaginary form."

Luo Ye pondered for a moment and then said, "For example, why are there so many scenes of people showing off and then getting slapped in the face?"

"Because in reality, many people are under pressure from life, so this kind of novel can become a way for many people to release stress."

"Whether it's fantasy novels or other genres, the core issue is always [human needs]."

"What society needs is what determines the stories you write so that they can be recognized by everyone."

Upon hearing this, Long Jin lowered his head and began to think seriously.

"Youth Continues" is a novel about pure romance.

In today's fast-paced world, more and more people are betraying love, which leads to a growing desire to find someone who truly loves them.

She seemed to understand something.

"But shouldn't I be able to write whatever I want in a novel? From what my senior said... it seems that I can only write what people want to read."
