Su Mingyang chuckled and said, "Really?"
"Hmm, it seems Ziqiao has really changed now, and I should change my attitude towards him a little too," Lin Wanyu said, tilting her head.
"Change your attitude? Is that abnormal?" Su Mingyang joked.
"You're the pervert." Lin Wanyu rolled her eyes.
"Haha."
The two were playfully fighting.
Guan Gu Shenqi knocked on the door and came in, asking, "Mingyang-jun, do you have any old books here?"
"What kind of lousy book is this?" Su Mingyang and Lin Wanyu exchanged a puzzled look.
Guan Gu Shenqi explained, "It's like this, my Chinese teacher assigned me an assignment to write an essay, but I have no clue what to do. I've heard people say that as long as you talk about something, God will come to your aid."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyu said with a wry smile, "Guan Gu, this saying means that if you read ten thousand books, your writing will flow like a god's. It's a proverb."
Guan Gu Shenqi frowned and asked, "What is a proverb? Is it another language?"
Lin Wanyu explained, "Proverbs are sayings from the ancients, including colloquialisms and allegorical sayings, which are frequently used."
Guan Gu Shenqi was somewhat exasperated: "How come there are two more languages now? When will I ever graduate from my Chinese class?"
Su Mingyang was amused by Guan Gu's strangely stunned expression and comforted him, "Haha, Guan Gu, don't panic, just take your time."
"Well, that's all we can do for now." Guan Gu Shenqi sighed. "Can you recommend some books for me to read? I'd like to find some inspiration from them."
Lin Wanyu blurted out, "Mingyang's 'The Immortal Slayer' is quite good."
“I’ve watched this, and more than once,” Guan Gu Shenqi said.
"I see." Lin Wanyu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then noticed the eagle on the sofa. She picked it up and handed it to Guan Gu Shenqi, saying, "How about we look at this?"
"Neurotic Couple?" Guan Gu Shenqi read aloud, looking at the large characters on the cover.
"This is The Return of the Condor Heroes, which should give you some inspiration. Like Mingyang's The Immortal-Slaying Sword, it has a very touching love story. I cried eight times while reading it," Lin Wanyu strongly recommended.
Su Mingyang looked at Lin Wanyu with amusement.
Of all the books I could recommend, this one is absolutely terrible. It's like feeding Guan Gu Shenqi garbage.
If he saw Little Dragon Girl being defiled, wouldn't he be so angry that he'd go to the author's lair and commit seppuku?
Tsk tsk.
However, he was quite looking forward to seeing the guy's reaction.
You should know that this incident almost gave him psychological trauma when he was a child.
Guan Gu Shenqi, unaware that the book contained poison, said, "Really? If it were me, the most touching story I've ever read is Dongji's Love Story. I cried ten times while reading it."
"Is the love story of Dongji also touching?" Lin Wanyu asked.
"It's not just touching, it's incredibly touching," Guan Gu Shenqi corrected. "Haven't you seen it?"
Lin Wanyu shook her head: "No, I mostly watch Korean dramas, I haven't watched many Japanese dramas."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Su Mingyang, who was playing Fruit Ninja, and asked, "Mingyang, have you seen this?"
"What have you seen?" Su Mingyang asked, looking up.
"(Wang Qianhao) Dongji Love Story".
"No, don't you know I rarely watch TV?" Su Mingyang replied casually.
"Oh." Lin Wanyu nodded.
Guan Gu Shenqi said, "Then, Mingyang Jun, I suggest you watch this TV series with Wanyu. It's incredibly touching."
“Okay, I’ll watch it when I have time,” Su Mingyang said.
"Okay, I'll be going now." Guan Gu Shenqi said goodbye, then picked up the Condor Heroes and went to find some fun.
Lin Wanyu also pestered Su Mingyang to watch the angst-filled love story of Dongji together.
Chapter 300
It was afternoon tea time.
Bar downstairs.
Su Mingyang and Lin Wanyu sat at the bar playing Plants vs. Zombies.
Guan Gu Shenqi watched The Return of the Condor Heroes while crying and sobbing.
Zeng Xiaoxian was holding a fire extinguisher and trying to persuade Guan Gu Shenqi to buy a second one.
But the other person was so engrossed in the novel that they completely ignored him.
He then turned his attention to Su Mingyang, but the result was the same.
I'm so tired...
As he kept wavering between the two.
Lin Wanyu and Su Mingyang got tired of playing and stopped to rest.
Looking at Guan Gu Shenqi, who was engrossed in his studies, Lin Wanyu asked, "How's it going, Guan Gu?"
"Excellent, truly wonderful!" Guan Gu Shenqi exclaimed excitedly. "By the way, how was your 'Winter Chicken Love Story'?"
Lin Wanyu said, "Mingyang and I looked all morning and saw that Lixiang had put a small snowman with his name on it under the table under the table during winter break."
Su Mingyang smiled slightly and said, "You know what."
This TV series is quite good; it immediately hooked him.
Guan Gu Shenqi got excited when he heard Lin Wanyu's words: "What follows is even more exciting!"
Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian asked curiously, "What happened next?"
Guan Gu Shenqi looked at Zeng Xiaoxian with a puzzled expression: "Teacher Zeng, you haven't seen it either?"
Zeng Xiaoxian would never deny the fact that he hadn't watched it. He rolled his eyes and denied it, saying, "How could that be? I missed this episode."
Guan Gu Shenqi nodded and said clearly, "The rest is like this: Rika still ignored Kanji. Kanji saw Rika's gift and was completely overwhelmed. Rika said to Kanji, 'I want you to use magic to make me happy.'"
Lin Wanyu shook her head and said indignantly, "I won't listen! I won't listen! I won't listen!"
Seeing Lin Wanyu's adorable appearance, Su Mingyang couldn't help but chuckle and pinched her little cheek.
Lin Wanyu immediately pinched it back.
Zeng Xiaoxian, barely suppressing his discomfort from being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), said, "I think Guan Gu has excellent writing skills; he can write an entire article."
At this point, he turned to look at Guan Gu Shenqi: "Your classmates definitely can't reach this level. I have high hopes for you."
Guan Gu Shenqi was very pleased with these words and happily gave Zeng Xiaoxian a high five.
Lin Wanyu pouted, "But we can't say everything out loud, or we'll ruin the suspense."
As she spoke, she looked at Su Mingyang for help: "Mingyang, what do you think?"
Su Mingyang, however, did not stand up for her. Instead, he comforted her, saying, "It's alright. It's not a suspense drama. Spoilers won't have much of an impact. Besides, Guan Gu didn't do it on purpose. There's no need to be so angry."
This is what he really thinks.
Often, before choosing to watch a TV series, he would first look up the plot on Baidu before deciding whether to get hooked.
Moreover, as a romance drama, what suspense could Dongji Love Story possibly have?
It's all about clichés and melodramatic tropes.
"Okay." Lin Wanyu pursed her lips, not wanting to dwell on the issue any further.
Unfortunately, Guan Gu Shenqi blurted out a sarcastic remark: "Mingyang-jun is right. Dongji Love Story is not a mystery or suspense story, so it doesn't matter whether there are spoilers or not. However, I think there is another point: you are reading too slowly. If you were reading faster, I wouldn't be able to spoil anything. I can read Chinese books faster than you now."
Lin Wanyu couldn't take it anymore and sneered, "I was too slow reading, fine."
She glanced at the chapter Guan Gu Shenqi had turned to and quickly said, "Yang Guo wanted to marry Xiaolongnü, but Huang Rong objected, so Xiaolongnü left. Guo Jing wanted to marry his daughter to Yang Guo, and on the wedding day, Guo's husband even cut off Yang Guo's right hand."
"I didn't mean to just now." Guan Gu Shenqi's expression was like he had eaten shit, full of regret.
Lin Wanyu raised her chin triumphantly; victory was ultimately hers.
Su Mingyang looked at the two of them, both amused and exasperated. They were clearly planning to hurt each other.
Guan Gu Shenqi, holding his breath, continued to spoil the plot: "Okay! Later, Rika took the initiative to request a transfer overseas. She hoped that Kanji could keep her, but Kanji said, 'I can't delay Rika's future.' Rika slapped him and left him."
"Oh." Lin Wanyu nodded nonchalantly, then rolled her eyes and said dismissively, "Little Dragon Girl was wiped."
"What?!" Guan Gu Shenqi's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he instantly collapsed, clutching his head in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
Lin Wanyu smiled and delivered the final blow to Guan Gu Shenqi: "That's right, it was Yin Zhiping who did it."
"Stop talking!" Guan Gu Shenqi almost coughed up blood.
"Pfft haha~" Su Mingyang laughed so hard he almost peed himself. Wan Yu had delivered a killer blow!
He patted Guan Gu on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, Guan Gu. You'll see this sooner or later anyway, so knowing it sooner will prepare you mentally."
"Pfft!" Guan Gu Shenqi spat out a mouthful of blood and died on the spot!
Chapter 301
"Don't be sad, Guan Gu. I was even more upset than you when I saw this part of the story. I was so angry that I almost burned my house down. When my parents came back, they beat me severely. I hated the author for a long time after that. If we hadn't had a few fire extinguishers at home, I would have been completely finished," Zeng Xiaoxian said quietly.
