"Prepare tissues before reading? Is Xu Lu going to recommend some random, nonsensical novel to me?"
Dilraba glanced at the message, her pretty face flushed, and she couldn't help but have some impure thoughts.
However, after she clicked on the link...
She then discovered that the novel's title was not what she had imagined, but rather a very short two-word phrase: "Living".
"No way, Xu Lu actually recommended this kind of artsy novel to me? Is it really just to help me fall asleep?"
Dilraba looked puzzled.
However, since she had nothing else to do at the moment, and remembering that Xu Lu had recommended it, she clicked on the first chapter.
Actually, Dilraba wasn't very interested in novels before.
However, the word 'alive' was quite easy to understand, so she started reading right away and quickly turned to the second chapter...
"Hahaha, this gambler is such a fool, he actually lost his entire fortune!"
At this moment, Reba was still laughing, and even wondered if Xu Lu was saying something sarcastic, since this kind of novel didn't need tissues.
However, it didn't take long for her to prove herself wrong:
"Waaaaah, Yuqing... Yuqing was such a cute child, how... how could he die?"
Tissues, where did I put my tissues? Waaaaah, this is so heartbreaking!
Why did Xu Lu recommend such a sad novel to me? That guy is so mean...
Reba searched the whole room for tissues, crying uncontrollably as she did so.
Having finally stopped crying, Dilraba dared not watch any further.
The part she had just seen was so heartbreaking that she couldn't help but cry. However, when she stopped watching, she found herself wanting to know how the story ended.
"Forget it, I'll just watch a little bit more, just a little bit more. That last part must be the most tragic scene in the novel!"
Unable to resist her curiosity, Dilraba cheered herself up and clicked to continue reading.
She quickly realized her mistake, a terrible one:
"Waaaaah, Fengxia... Fengxia died too. This little girl never had a good life growing up. How could she die too... Waaaaah."
Xu Lu, you scoundrel, what kind of novel did you recommend to me? Why can't you write something that makes people happy? You just make me cry and cry, waaaaaah…”
Dilraba couldn't control herself again, throwing her phone aside and wiping away her tears.
Of course, she didn't forget to scold Xu Lu, the person who recommended the novel to her.
After all, if it weren't for Xu Lu, I wouldn't have shed tears twice just from reading a novel. I need to drink a big glass of water right away; I've cried too many tears!
After drinking a large glass of water, Dilraba sat on the sofa.
She felt that she had cried twice, so her resistance must have increased tenfold. Besides, there couldn't possibly be any more tragic plot twists in the novel later on, right?
Thinking this, she stubbornly opened the novel again, and then...
Once she started crying, she wouldn't stop.
In the novel, the protagonist Fugui's wife, Jia Zhen, soon dies of illness, Fugui's son-in-law dies in an accident at the construction site, and even his clever little grandson dies from overeating beans...
"What's going on? Why is there such a tragic plot? This novel is called 'Living,' is that even reasonable? Nobody in this story can survive!"
Reba, who was crying her eyes out, finally asked a soul-searching question.
But she suddenly realized that her voice was very nasal and her throat was very congested.
All of this was clearly due to the fact that she had cried too much earlier.
As for the two packs of tissues on the table, they were almost empty, and the wastebasket was overflowing.
Even though she had already drunk a large glass of water to replenish her fluids, she still felt dehydrated.
After all, she had cried almost the entire time while watching that movie 'Alive'.
I cried more times in one day than in all the previous years combined.
"You stinky Xu Lu, you wicked Xu Lu, I just said I couldn't sleep, and you dare to do this to me!"
The thought of this made Dilraba very angry.
Whether this novel can help her sleep is another matter, but she does feel incredibly hungry right now.
"Forget it, let's get something to eat first, and then I'll call Xu Lu and give him a piece of my mind!"
Dilraba muttered something to herself, then hurriedly got up to make herself a self-heating hot pot.
After enjoying a delicious meal, she suddenly felt sleepy.
"Forget it, I'll just go to sleep first. I can still yell at Xu Lu tomorrow..."
...
In fact, Dilraba is not the only person recommended by Xu Lu.
For example, Boss Yang's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the tissues soaked with tears were piled up high on the table.
At this moment, she truly regretted calling Xu Lu; otherwise, she wouldn't have been moved to tears by a novel he recommended.
"Who wrote this novel? Xu Lu recommended it to me saying it was 'very healing,' but I didn't expect it to be so 'depressing.'"
Mr. Yang felt he would really like to thank him.
She was, of course, furious with Xu Lu, who recommended the novel.
But for the author of this novel, it's more than just a matter of gnashing her teeth; to use a popular internet phrase, she really wants to send the other party razor blades.
But when Mr. Yang scrolled the progress bar to the front, he was shocked to find that the author of this 'alive' book only had two words on his name.
"The author's name is 'President Xu'? This... could it be a novel written by Xu Lu himself?"
Mr. Yang looked completely surprised:
"By the way, Xu Lu wrote martial arts novels, what was his name again?"
Upon realizing this, Mr. Yang quickly followed the clues and found the source of the link.
This is the author's homepage on Shuqie Novel Network.
On the homepage of the author named 'General Manager Xu', the two works 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' and 'Alive' were prominently displayed.
hiss!
Seeing this, how could Boss Yang not know that the novel that had just made him shed so many tears was actually the work of that guy Xu Lu?
This discovery somewhat lessened her urge to send razor blades.
"I never expected Xu Lu could write a novel like this, it's truly astonishing!"
Mr. Yang muttered to himself:
"But how exactly does he plan to deal with Master Zhuang and the others' attack? Could it be..."
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Boss Yang's mind. She looked at 'alive' again, her expression one of shock:
"So that's how it is! Xu Lu actually wanted to use this novel to first establish himself in the literary field."
In fact, this is the most direct and effective way to turn a conflict between different circles into a struggle within those circles…
No wonder Mr. Yang was so surprised.
Because, in theory, this is simply impossible.
But unexpectedly, it seems to have become a reality for Xu Lu.
