What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Qiu Wuji didn’t know if even this username was predetermined by fate.

If Chu Ge had any ingenuity, the water could represent her, and the sky could be referring to Chu Tiange. Thus, the water follows the sky.

But from another perspective, isn’t Chu Ge himself the sky?

He is the god of that world.

So, does the water still follow the sky?

To the point that she couldn’t even come up with a new alias for herself and could only think of this phrase subconsciously.

Looking up at Chu Ge, he is smiling brightly, and he might not be thinking about anything deeper. Most likely, he is just happy that Qiu Wuji is still using the name he gave her.

Never mind, I am Qiu Wuji. Whether I change my name or not doesn’t matter. She didn’t speak anything and just put away her phone, saying in a low voice, “Let’s go buy some groceries.”

Seeing that she seemed to be lost in thought, Chu Ge asked strangely, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I was thinking about whether I should buy a recipe book.”

“Oh, you don’t need to buy that. Nowadays, with smartphones and computers, you can just search for any dish you want to make, and there are also many cooking livestreams and videos to learn from.”

“What is that?”

Chu Ge laughed, “I should say that these two things are the most important treasures of this world. When you become proficient in using them, you become a modern person.”

…..

After returning home, Qiu Wuji carried the newly bought groceries into the kitchen, while Chu Ge continued to write. Now, he felt like he had entered a strange state of mind while writing.

In the past, he used to immediately check the comments and interact with readers after publishing a chapter, but now he just finishes writing and doesn’t care about anything else.

He didn’t want to deal with the controversies that may arise, and he felt like his mind was not really there.

The most important soul of the book was already vividly alive around him. The aroma of cooking was coming from the kitchen. The image of Qiu Wuji reading and cooking at the same time seems to be floating in his mind, so real.

So, did it really matter how well he wrote the novel? The biggest value seemed to be that it provided a complete world, making Qiu Wuji’s existence more secure. The significance of the work ended there. Praising or criticizing it didn’t matter. Even if it failed, he could always work another job.

His Zen-like mentality made him increasingly relaxed and comfortable, and he even started writing faster. He even managed to write an extra half-chapter after finishing yesterday’s quota and spending time exercising and shopping in the morning. If no one disturbed him, he might even be able to write tens of thousands of words today and break his previous record.

The main plot of Qiu Wuji’s storyline would revolve around collecting materials for the Four Symbols Array, which would help her transcend the tribulation. During the collection process, there would be various subplots that may or may not involve Chu Tiange, as he was not involved in many high-end battles.

If he followed his original plan, Chu Tiange’s storyline would be prominent, while Qiu Wuji’s personal storyline would be briefly mentioned. But now, Chu Ge subconsciously emphasized Qiu Wuji’s personal storyline, making it seem like they were both main characters.

To avoid making this feeling too prominent, Chu Ge considered adding more independent storylines for other characters, which would make it a multiple perspective approach. It was difficult to manage, and his ability was beginning to exceed the limit, but so what? He just wanted to write.

As the new chapter was published, Chu Ge was about to run to the kitchen to talk nonsense with Qiu Wuji, when the sound of “ding ding” came, and QQ notification sounded.

He glanced at it and saw that it was from his editor. His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he was facing the same situation as Zhang Qiren?

“‘What are your instructions, editor?’”

“‘You have reached a good word count. I have applied for a featured promotion for you, and the chief editor has approved it. Keep some chapters in advance these days and write a statement.’”

“‘Thank you, editor!’”Chu Ge was both surprised and puzzled. He was surprised that he had never received a big recommendation despite writing several novels, and although this kind of promotion had been surpassed by open-screen promotion in terms of traffic, it was still a sign of recognition for the work. This was something that even the big shots used to write statements for.

The editor continued, “You’ve been writing well lately, and the editorial team is very optimistic. Keep up the good work.”

Chu Ge was confused. The editorial team was already reading the new chapters of this new masterpiece, which had only recently been published. He had been writing a bit recklessly lately, but they were still very optimistic?

As an old hand in this industry, Chu Ge did not dare to ask the famous and aloof editor any more questions. He thanked him again and closed the chat window with a puzzled mind.

Another private chat window popped up, and Chu Ge immediately recognized Zhang Qiren’s profile picture of a messy-haired dude. His mood improved a bit and he opened the chat with a smile, asking, “How’s work?”

“Busy as a bird. Writing may be a challenge, but it was still more comfortable for me. Although I was poor, I was free and didn’t need to be controlled by anyone,” Zhang Qi said.

Chu Ge responded, “Actually, it’s about the same for us. We also have editors at the top… it’s just that the way they manage us is different. In the end, we still have to rely on people’s appreciation.”

Zhang Qiren replied, “Yeah, that’s right. I haven’t talked to the editors at all. As soon as I did, I was taken down, hahaha.” He casually changed the subject and asked, “You’ve been acting strange recently, Chu Ge. I haven’t seen you chatting in the author group or responding to reviews. You’re like an emotionless updating machine.”

Chu Ge evaded the topic, “You haven’t been active either.”

“I’ve been busy.”

“I’m busy too.”

Zhang Qiren joked, “Busy falling in love, maybe?” He sent a funny emoji and finally said, “I saw you out shopping with a beautiful woman.”

“Uh… I was just shopping during normal working hours, like a regular person. Did you skip work? By the way, what kind of job do you have now? Is your company nearby?”

Chu Ge was clearly changing the subject, but Zhang Qiren didn’t pursue it. He said, “I’m sort of like a security guard. It’s neither far nor close. In the morning, I was chasing a thief in that area where there were a lot of people, and we couldn’t find him. But I unexpectedly saw you there. Chu Ge, you have to be careful. The security in our neighborhood is almost non-existent. You don’t even need to swipe your card to enter or leave the neighborhood. Be careful not to get robbed.”

Chu Ge was amazed, “Can you catch a thief with your physique?”

Zhang Qiren sent a flexing emoji and said, “Thieves are afraid of tough and rugged appearance, not physical size or weight.”

Chu Ge pointed out, “But can you run fast enough? That’s why the thief escaped.”

Zhang Qiren cursed and quit the chat.

Chu Ge scratched his head and felt a little strange. Although he had dodged the question of Qiu Wuji, Zhang Qiren had also talked about his job without saying which company he worked for. They were both listening to each other’s words, but it seemed like they weren’t really communicating.

“Let’s eat,” the voice of Qiu Wuji came from the kitchen.

Just two simple words shattered all of Chu Ge’s thoughts, like a gentle breeze tickling his heart on a summer afternoon.

“What’s wrong? Why are you smiling?” Qiu Wuji asked and for some reason, wanted to hit him when she saw his expression. She spoke sternly, “Are your sore muscles better?”

“No…I received good news today. Basically, it’s like I have been rewarded by the sect and allowed to enter the Scrolls Tower. How much I can benefit from it will depend on my own cultivation.” Chu Ge used a metaphor to explain things to Qiu Wuji, which was the most straightforward and accurate way to communicate with her…

Qiu Wuji knew right away that it was indeed good news and couldn’t help but smile, saying, “So you’re getting the treatment of a main character now?”

Chu Ge blinked and looked at her without saying a word.

Qiu Wuji was stunned, and her smile turned into anger. Did that mean that she herself was supposed to receive the treatment of a main character’s heroine?

Chu Ge quickly lowered his head and started eating, “Maybe it’s because the female lead has appeared and brought good luck to me.”

The strong desire to survive filled his words…

Although it sounded good, Qiu Wuji still felt like she wanted to hit him more and more. It was different from when she first arrived here and wanted to hit him…now she just wanted to beat him up.

Both of them ate in silence. After Qiu Wuji finished her food, she collected her things with a straight face and went back to her room saying. “I want to borrow the noon-time yang energy to cultivate for a while. Don’t disturb me unless it’s urgent.”

Chu Ge really wanted to say that he had more yang energy here, pure yang energy! But he knew that if he said that, he would be beaten to death. So he went back to his own room and planned to take a nap.

This tantalizing beauty was right there, and he didn’t know when he would be able to take the next step.

On a summer afternoon, with the sun blazing outside, the air was dry and quiet, occasionally interrupted by the sound of cicadas, causing something to stir and sprout in one’s heart. Chu Ge, in a daze, wondered whether it was summer or spring.

Just at this moment of silence, a figure gradually appeared at the door.

The figure became more and more solid and walked in directly through the door.

The ability to walk through walls!
