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

"'Caged Bird'?"

Luo Ye looked at the article sent by Long Jin and showed a thoughtful expression.

To be honest, Long Jin's work is quite immersive and well-written, depicting a very repressed youth.

If this is what Long Jin experienced, and if every word he writes is a plea for his dream of escaping the cage...

So Luo Ye now has a basic understanding of this person.

Judging from the fact that someone can be recognized as a literary prodigy in high school, their experiences must have been extraordinary.

Long Jin: How was it, teacher?

Upon seeing the message, Luo Ye paused for a moment, then immediately replied.

Luo Ye: You don't need to call me that. I'm just taking a look. It's pretty good, there's nothing wrong with it.

After sending the message, Luo Ye hesitated for a moment, then sent another message.

Luo Ye: It's better written than mine.

Long Jin: Senior, don't be so modest.

Luo Ye did not reply to any further messages.

His attention was drawn to something else.

He was about to finish his meal at the school gate when he noticed that many people were walking in the same direction.

That direction was precisely the direction of Zhouye Bookstore.

It seems that after this period of operation, Zhouye Bookstore's popularity is growing.

The owner of the small restaurant who brought Luo Ye his meal also saw this scene. He exclaimed in admiration, "That's really amazing. To open a bookstore near a school and not only not go out of business, but to do so well, is something I've never seen before."

Opening a bookstore near a school is tantamount to competing with the school library for students.

There have been people who did this kind of self-defeating thing before, only to end up losing everything.

But Zhouye attracted students from another angle, making everyone fall in love with the place. Basically, anyone who went once would go a second time, so the number of customers increased and the bookstore's business got better and better.

As Luo Ye ate his stir-fried green peppers and pork over rice, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, are you acquainted with the owner of Zhouye Bookstore?"

"We're not that close, but she seems like a nice young lady. When the bookstore opened, she greeted every shop on this street and became a familiar face to everyone."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye was slightly surprised, not expecting that his senior had done such a thing.

It's clear that she really wants to run this bookstore well.

After finishing his meal, Luo Ye asked the owner to pack another portion for him. He then carried the bag containing the takeout box towards Zhouye Bookstore.

The shed at the entrance has been set up. The fairy senior has left Zhang Xiyan a place where she can be sheltered from the wind and rain, so that she can sell sausages in peace.

The line for grilled sausages was also very long, but the sausages sold out very quickly, usually within two hours of the stall opening.

After selling out, she would go to the bookstore to help out, so she was practically a part-time employee of the bookstore.

Luo Ye walked into the bookstore and found that there was a long queue at the front desk. Fortunately, Shen Qiao was there, otherwise Qin Yuwen would have been too busy to handle it all by herself.

However, it seems that a considerable number of these guests came specifically for Shen Qiao.

With the addition of Qin Yuwen, this high-profile duo explains why the bookstore's business has been booming lately.

Even without the help of the fairy senior, these two are enough to uphold the reputation of Zhouye Bookstore.

Luo Ye stepped onto the stairs, preparing to go to the second floor to deliver food to his fairy-like senior.

The second floor was also very crowded; there were people sitting at almost every table.

One of the figures was sitting at a table.

Now, the fairy-like senior has bought more professional equipment to draw comics, and she is currently sketching on a sketchpad, carefully drawing with a metal pen.

Meanwhile, the laptop screen in front of them was displaying a synchronized image.

She went from being an amateur illustrator to a more professional and mature cartoonist.

It's clear from the comics that the visuals have improved significantly, and the comics are updated weekly in the [Zhouye Weekly] for readers who come here to watch.

Zhouye Weekly is an idea from Fairy Senior, and it is gradually being implemented.

This stage, inspired by the book, will solicit submissions from all the bookstore's guests. Anyone who is willing can participate in this stage and update their own little stories on it.

Finally, the book will be reviewed by Zhouye Bookstore. Once approved, it will be printed as a collection of stories and updated weekly.

This helps retain guests and creates a unique character for Zhouye Bookstore.

Luo Yeguang was very excited about this idea, but since it was just launched, there weren't many submissions. So, the senior student updated the comic "Youth Continues" on it.

Of course, the person who reviewed the manuscript was Luo Ye.

A cold and beautiful woman often appears on the second floor; this is something that regulars at Zhouye Bookstore all know.

But this cold beauty's aura of keeping strangers at bay still keeps people away, and no one dares to approach her for any contact information.

Moreover, some senior students from Jiangcheng University seemed to know this aloof girl.

Seeing a young man carrying a lunchbox sit down in front of this aloof beauty, some freshmen showed expressions of admiration, and then began to gloat.

Wow, you're really brave to sit here! Aren't you afraid of being kicked out?

They even brought their lunchboxes to sit down. Did they expect to eat in front of others?

Some of the older students, upon seeing Luo Ye, seemed to realize something and immediately reacted.

This person must be the one who, according to rumors, has returned to his roots, right?

In their minds, the only person who could get so close to the aloof school beauty was her boyfriend, who was also the author of "Youth Continues".

The bookstore's signboard features physical copies of "Youth Continues," while online only pirated copies are available. This bookstore even has autographed copies of "Returning to One's Roots."

Some people suddenly realized who the real owner of this bookstore was.

He's not a fan of the "returning to one's roots" movement; he's a person who embraces it.

That's not wrong, after all, who could have imagined that the actual boss would be his girlfriend who had returned home?

Su Baizhou picked up the boxed lunch, then stood up and walked into an empty bookstore to eat.

Seeing this, a freshman next to him smiled.

As expected, I was rejected; they left before I could even say a word.

The other person, however, looked puzzled.

what's the situation?

If you're going to refuse, then refuse. Why did you take the food away?

Luo Ye smiled slightly, then got up and left, returning to the first floor.

After intense deliberation, some of the freshmen who remained on the second floor finally came to a conclusion.

That guy must be a food deliveryman.

The older students looked at the new students with smiles but no words.

This young couple really knows how to have fun.
