NOVEL WEB Chapter 83

—After eating, He Yunxiao practiced his martial arts moves for a while and estimated that it was almost time. Then he set off again to study in the study of the Fan House.
The Fan House’s young lady, Fan Ziruo, did not go out much.
Except for the Qingming Festival every year, when she would definitely go outside the city to pay her respects at her mother’s grave. Other times, only occasionally, she would take advantage of a light rain to take a carriage and go to the Buddhist temple outside the city.
As to why she would go out when it was raining, it was because Fan Ziruo did not like noise and it was quiet when it was raining. If it was raining heavily, it would be inconvenient, so she would only go out when it was raining lightly.
When He Yunxiao came to the study of the Fan residence this time, she was not alone in the study.
Fan Ziruo was still in her former position, quietly reading a book, while next to her was another beautiful woman, Du Yinyun, the sister of Du, that He Yunxiao had been longing for.
In the eyes of outsiders, Sister Du has always been aloof, cold, and indifferent.
Her “not talkative” is “I don’t like you, don’t come near me”.
And Fan Ziruo’s “not talkative” is “Excuse me, who are you?
One is a stranger and the other is quiet.
Of course, the “stranger” in Du Yinyun’s “do not enter” is specifically interpreted as “someone other than He Yunxiao”. Not to exaggerate, this also includes her good sister Fan Ziruo.
He Yunxiao reckons that even Fan Ziruo has never seen what Du’s sister’s true character is like.
To protect the 50 hard-earned favourability from Fan Ziruo, He Yunxiao chose to stand at the door of the study, knocked courteously on the door, and, upon entering, greeted the two girls courteously.
Seeing that He Yunxiao had arrived, Du Yinyun knew that they were going to start “studying”, so she gave up her desk and got up to say goodbye.
Fan Ziruo was reluctant to let her sister go, but thinking of Du Yinyun’s nature, she thought she probably wouldn’t like to stay with He Yunxiao, so she didn’t say anything to stay.
He Yunxiao was also reluctant to let Du Yinyun go. If she stayed, he might be able to have some fun under the nose of her current sister Fan, just like the time he was at Jiang Wuyou’s place.
Although she did not want to leave, she was a guest at Fan’s house, after all, and making strange requests would annoy people. He Yunxiao intended to keep Fan Ziruo’s favourability, so he did not make an effort to keep sister Du.
Now, there were only two people left in the study again.
Fan Ziruo was quietly reading a book as usual. Unlike last time, this time, she did not look at the weapon illustrations, but changed to a history book to read.
When He Yunxiao saw Fan Ziruo’s attitude, those who knew, understood that she was preparing to write a ; those who didn’t know, thought she was going to publish a thesis.
He Yunxiao pretended to look at the book, but in fact, the corner of his eyes kept staring at Fan Ziruo beside him.
As expected, after putting down the martial arts and picking up the history book, Fan Ziruo suddenly fell asleep on the table after reading for a while.
Having the experience from last time, He Yunxiao knew that Fan Ziruo would be particularly dazed when she first woke up, so he naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
Specifically, waiting for Fan Ziruo to fall asleep. He Yunxiao reached out and nudged her.
“Miss Ziruo? Sister Ziruo? Sister Ziruo wake up.”
Fan Ziruo’s sleepy eyes lifted her head.
“Well~ Who are you?”
“I’m He Yunxiao, be a good girl and bring me the you’ve written, okay?”
“Sure.”
Fan Ziruo got up from the desk, walked towards the bookshelf, and opened a box, took out the manuscript paper from it, and …… then froze in place.
When He Yunxiao saw her freeze, he exclaimed, “Oh no, she’s woken up.
He immediately got up and hurriedly said, “Miss Ziruo, why are you standing still?”
Fan Ziruo herself was puzzled; she felt her memory was foggy. She was clearly reading a book just now, how come she suddenly walked over to the bookshelf and suddenly took out the martial arts she had secretly written?
She was planning to write a martial arts , and when she finished it, she was planning to publish a book as well.
But a half-finished product and a finished product are not the same thing.
To an author, a semi-finished product is like having no clothes on, and how can you just show someone something that is not dressed?
She was about to put the back.
He Yunxiao didn’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
I have to find a way to make her bring the to me to read! That way, we’ll have a shared secret!
Once two people have a common hobby, and a common secret, then their relationship with each other will progress very quickly.
He Yunxiao said, “Miss Ziruo, are you afraid that I will spread it everywhere?”
Fan Ziruo was puzzled, “Afraid of you spreading what?”
He Yunxiao said, “Don’t worry. If you are willing to show me the , I will naturally keep it a secret for you.”
Fan Ziruo asked rhetorically, “I am willing?”
He Yunxiao said rightly, “Yes. Otherwise, who else would you show the to?”
Fan Ziruo frowned at the memory, unable to remember that she had promised to read the to He Yunxiao.
He Yunxiao pretended to be lost and lamented, “Alas, I thought I would be able to enjoy the girl’s work, but unfortunately you changed your mind on the spur of the moment, so it was my bad luck.”
Fan Ziruo: “I ……”
He Yunxiao then said, “It’s also my fault that I only know some martial arts and can’t write, so I can’t give you even a little advice.”
Fan Ziruo can only recall that she did not do anything, but for some reason guilt suddenly rose in her heart for He Yunxiao. She was nudged awake by He Yunxiao’s next statement and realized that He Yunxiao knew martial arts and must be able to see the mistakes in her , regarding martial arts.
With these two points in mind, she finally overcame her shame and handed over the half-finished without clothes to He Yunxiao.
He Yunxiao carefully received the rolls of manuscript paper in his hands, and then very carefully picked up the martial arts written by Fan Ziruo and read it.
Fan Ziruo was sitting on the side, looking at He Yunxiao with bated breath.
【Fan Ziruo’s favorability level changed from 50 to 60】
【Fan Ziruo’s favorable level changed from 60 to 40】
【Fan Ziruo’s favorability level changed from 40 to 45】
……
When He Yunxiao was reading the , he stole a few glances at Fan Ziruo. Although he couldn’t see it on her face, he could notice from this drastic change in her favorability alone that the girl was really embarrassed.
It took a lot of courage to take out a half-finished product and show it to others.
He Yunxiao could understand this feeling, as an old bookworm. He also had the thoughts of writing a , thinking of becoming a genius with one book. Unfortunately, reality told him that he was just an old slob. He could not even be considered an old founder. He could only be considered an ” Old Eunuch “.
During the first few days of publishing the book, he read the comments section every day to see what readers had to say about him. Later, after reading more, he became a veteran, not afraid of boiling water, saying that he was a eunuch.
The story of Fan Ziruo, with He Yunxiao’s years of experience as a bookworm and his experience as a half-witted online writer, can only be summarized in four words: too literary.
It is really too literary!
Many of the words used in this were unintelligible to He Yunxiao, and although he couldn’t understand them, it didn’t stop him from feeling, from the bottom of his heart, that it was well-written and magnificently beautiful.
Every paragraph was like this.
Each little piece, a beautiful chapter.
But together, it was simply odd.
Not even remotely related to a martial arts .
He Yunxiao didn’t know quite how to evaluate it, in short: if Fan Ziruo were to write s for a living, even if she wasn’t a big eater, she would starve to death.
Under Fan Zewei’s expectant gaze, He Yunxiao slowly turned to the last page and slowly put the novel aside.
With a solemn face, he said to Fan Ziruo, “Miss Ziruo. This novel of yours is really well-written! It’s so good!”
【Fan Ziruo’s Favorability level changed from 45 to 65】
