Chapter 220 People...are willing to do anything

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Li Luo and the other three left the barbecue restaurant smelling of alcohol and headed back towards the Ji Hotel.

Along the way, Qianzhou sighed from time to time: "Go to bed early and don't run out again, otherwise something unexpected happens and I won't be able to explain it to your parents."

"Don't worry, editor." After Xu Youyu drank the wine, he hugged Li Luo's shoulders carelessly, burped with contentment, and patted Qianzhou on the shoulder, "What time is the meeting tomorrow?"

"It starts at half past eight." Qianzhou said, "You'd better set an alarm for eight o'clock. Don't be late. There is free breakfast on the second floor of the hotel. You can go in with your room card."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

After returning to the hotel, the three of them took the elevator upstairs.

Because Qianzhou arrived early yesterday, the hotel room was arranged on the eighth floor. After the elevator reached the floor, he asked again as he walked out.

When the elevator door closed again and reached the ninth floor, Li Luo and Xu Youyu returned to their rooms.

Li Luo originally thought that this would be the end of the day. After sorting out his feelings about the exposure of his waistcoat, he sat down at the table and started typing.

As a result, after writing for about half an hour, there was a knock on his door.

Li Luo didn't even need to open the door to know who was looking for him.

After all, he only has two acquaintances in the entire hotel.

Qianzhou was sleeping downstairs, so there was only the one next door.

Li Luo walked to the door and opened it, and sure enough, he saw Xu Youyu.

However, compared to Xu Youyu who was wearing a down jacket just now, Xu Youyu who had taken a shower now was wearing a light pajamas that she brought with her. Her long hair was still wet on her shoulders, and her whole person exuded a fresh and refined temperament.

Seeing Li Luo opening the door, Xu Youyu, holding a notebook in his arms, walked in on the hotel's disposable slippers, with a pair of white legs clearly visible under his pajamas and shorts.

"What are you doing here?"

"Code!" Xu Youyu snapped, put the laptop he brought on the table, pulled a chair and sat down next to Li Luo, and sat cross-legged on the chair with a pair of white legs.

Li Luo saw her insisting on staying here and was speechless: "Can't you code in your own room?"

"It's almost too late, it's almost early morning, and I still have to write 2,000 words." Xu Youyu pointed to his still wet hair, "Blow down my hair and save me some time."

"..." Li Luo took a deep breath, a little dumbfounded, "You are using me as free labor for co-writing, right?"

"Didn't you often work as free labor for Xixi when you were at home?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, "What's wrong with letting me enjoy it now? Come on, please. You have so many manuscripts, so you can't do it."

It’s only an hour and a half away.”

Li Luo shook his head helplessly, but did not refuse. He took out the hotel's own hair dryer from the bathroom and came behind Xu Youyu.

The two of them have lived under the same roof for so long, and this is the first time that he blows Xu Youyu's hair.

It has to be said that compared to drying Ying Chanxi's hair, when drying Xu Youyu's hair, the temptation that needs to be resisted is particularly great.

In particular, Xu Youyu probably bought very loose pajamas for comfort, which made it difficult for Li Luo to look away from her when he was standing behind her and condescending.

Fortunately, Li Luo had experience in his previous life.

If he really had to count, Xu Youyu was probably the first girl to blow-dry his hair in his life.

It’s just that I have never tried it in my life.

Thinking of this, Li Luo turned on the hair dryer, stroked Xu Youyu's shoulder-length hair with his left hand, and his eyes suddenly fell into memories.

Recalling the steps Xu Youyu taught him in his previous life, Li Luo played them very carefully.

Xu Youyu leaned on the back of his chair and typed on the keyboard with both hands, feeling very comfortable.

I have to say that Li Luo is really skillful in blow-drying girls' hair.

"As expected of a man who often blow-drys Xixi's hair." Xu Youyu chuckled, "It feels so comfortable. It's better than my own blow-drying."

"Ha." Li Luo smiled, thinking that he didn't practice this by helping Xixi blow dry his hair, but was taught by You himself in his previous life.

But some words are destined to be buried deep in my heart.

Li Luo thought about this and his eyes softened.

After drying Xu Youyu's hair for about ten minutes, Li Luo put the hair dryer back in the bathroom and sat on the seat next to Xu Youyu.

The two people did not disturb each other and entered into a state of coding.

Xu Youyu's coding style is quite unique.

She sat on the chair with her legs crossed. Once she entered the state of coding, she began to mutter words, and from time to time she would imitate the dialogue of the characters in the book.

Sometimes, in order to match the mouth habits of different characters, different expressions are matched on the face, sometimes laughing, sometimes angry.

When she found the feeling, her hands quickly jumped on the keyboard, and a vivid plot came into view.

But if she doesn't find the right feeling, doesn't imitate well, or gets stuck in a plot and needs to choose a certain way of expression, she won't take action.

It wasn't until he struggled for a long time and paused for a long time that he managed to move his hands a few times.

At this time, she put her hands on her legs in distress, and her whole body was swaying. Sometimes she closed her eyes and thought, and sometimes she suddenly jumped off the chair and walked back and forth in the room.

Sometimes I stop in front of the window, looking at the boundless night in the distance and the night view of the West Lake in the distance. As my mind wanders, I catch the fleeting light.

Then he looked very happy, pulled out his chair suddenly, and before he had time to sit down, he stood immersed in typing on the keyboard and outputting quickly.

It wasn't until I finished writing this paragraph that I pulled up the chair and sat down cross-legged again, feeling physically and mentally comfortable.

Compared to Xu Youyu, Li Luo's coding movement next to him was much quieter.

After all, there is a memory palace in his mind. Li Luo spends most of his time playing permutation and combination games in his mind.

According to the previously planned outline and details, the various plot contents that have been arranged and combined are filled in in the form of text.

Therefore, his codewords are almost never interrupted, and the crackling sound keeps ringing in the room, with long-lasting and stable output.

Xu Youyu started writing at 10:30 and kept writing until the early hours of the morning, before he could barely finish the 2,000-word content.

In this little time, Li Luo has already written more than 8,000 words.

Xu Youyu on the side posted and uploaded the latest chapter with a happy look on his face, then he went to Li Luo's computer and took a look at the word count, and suddenly his face was shocked.

"You must be a tentacle monster when riding a horse! You can write 8,000 words in such a short amount of time? How come you have such a long brain?"

"Calm down, it's just a basic thing." Li Luo waved his hand and saved the eight thousand words, then rubbed his wrist, "I'm going to take a shower, shouldn't you go back to sleep too?"

"Why are you so anxious? I still have something to discuss with you." Xu Youyu sat down on Li Luo's bed without warning and pointed in the direction of the bathroom, "You go and wash up. After you finish washing, we can have a good chat.

.”

"Whatever you want to say, say it now, and go back as soon as you're done." Li Luo pointed to the large floor-to-ceiling glass in the bathroom next to him, and complained with black lines on his head, "Otherwise, you still want to see me take a shower, don't you?"

"Isn't there a curtain inside?" Xu Youyu gave him a blank look, "I don't mind, but you are still shy?"

"Go away, you have something to say." Li Luo was speechless, "When you're done, go back and then I'll take a shower."

"Okay." Xu Youyu patted the bed, motioned for him to sit down, and then said, "Then let's make a three-part agreement."

"What's the three-chapter agreement?"

"Of course it's about our novel writing." Xu Youyu's face suddenly turned serious when he talked about this, "Now you know that I will grow taller if I go to bed early, and I also know that you will relapse. Neither of us wants others to know.

I’m writing a novel myself.”

"So, we are on the same front now, right?"

"In this case, we should naturally advance and retreat together and help each other."

Hearing what Xu Youyu said, Li Luo understood. He chuckled and said, "I'm just helping you keep the secret. I have a very strict mouth and won't talk nonsense. Just mind your own mouth."

"If this is really the case, do I need to mention it to you?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, "What I want to say is not only keeping secrets from each other, but also some other terms."

"Just say it."

"Ahem." Xu Youyu cleared his throat, collected his thoughts, and then continued.

"First, keep each other's secrets secret, and never tell a third party that the other is writing a novel in private without the other's permission."

"Second, if you find that the other party is at risk of exposure, you should take the initiative to help the other party cover it up and provide timely reminders."

"Third, if necessary, you can also take the initiative to seek help from the other party, including but not limited to cooperation, cover, white lies and other behaviors."

Listening to Xu Youyu's methodical and logical explanation of the contents of the three chapters of the agreement, the corners of Li Luo's mouth twitched.

"You are really thoughtful, I admire you."

"Humph." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, "We are now an offensive and defensive alliance, and each holds the other's secrets. You'd better be more serious."

"I know, in the final analysis, it's better not to expose it." Li Luo nodded noncommittally, "Then do you have anything else to do? If not, it's time to go back to sleep, right?"

"Why are you so anxious? I haven't finished speaking yet." Xu Youyu waved his hand, "Just now it was just the specific terms, now we have to confirm the actual situation."

"What's the reality?"

"It's just how exposed we are to each other." Xu Youyu said, "Until now, my family doesn't know that I'm writing a novel."

"Besides the editor, you are the only one who knows my true identity."

"So, what about your side?"

When Xu Youyu asked this question, Li Luo suddenly became embarrassed, thinking that his confidentiality work was really a stretch.
