These guys, who spend most of their time at home writing, often surf the internet and have come across news about Gu Luo, but they never imagined that the author who created such a magnificent and mysterious worldview would be so young and handsome.
That talent is absolutely terrifying.
Of all the people present, only Tang Jia Liu Shao had an extremely ugly face, as if he had eaten shit, with a stuffy feeling in his chest that he had nowhere to vent.
He had previously been convinced that Gu Luo was an alt account run by an old author, and had even made a bold statement about eating ten pounds of excrement while doing a handstand, and had even made a bet with the Jade Rabbit about dancing. Now, Gu Luo's eighteen-year-old face was undoubtedly a slap in the face for him.
What frustrated him even more was that his college student wife was excitedly covering her mouth, her eyes filled with admiration and infatuation for Gu Luo, her gaze fixed on him, not even sparing him a glance.
This instantly ignited a surge of inexplicable anger in Tang Jia Liu Shao's heart, and he even had the illusion that he had been cuckolded, so he gritted his teeth in secret.
—Isn't this kid just a tiny bit more handsome and a tiny bit younger than me?
What's so great about that!
Jade Rabbit was already overwhelmed with excitement at seeing Gu Luo Zhenren, and no longer cared about the editor-in-chief's obstruction.
With a swift and decisive movement, she pushed the sun, which was blocking her view, aside—the force wasn't heavy, but it carried an unyielding and assertive edge.
Before Taiyang could react, she had already grabbed Gu Luo's arm, her fingertips pressed tightly against his sleeve, and pulled him quickly towards her seat, her face full of a cheerful smile, her tone both intimate and assertive:
"Xiao Luo, sit with me, sit next to me, I'll protect you!"
Gu Luo was a little numb from her sudden enthusiasm. He subconsciously wanted to pull his arm back, but he was too embarrassed to break free.
After all, one doesn't hit a smiling face. The affection in the Jade Rabbit's eyes was straightforward and pure, without a trace of malice.
In addition, since he was new to this industry and didn't want to offend anyone on their first meeting, he could only bite the bullet and follow her to her seat, maintaining a polite smile.
As soon as she sat down, Jade Rabbit patted the empty seat next to her, turned to the people in the private room, and spoke loudly, her tone carrying the domineering and protective air of a leading author:
"From today onwards, Xiao Luo is my good younger brother! Everyone remember this, and when you go back, please give 'Lord of Mysteries' a good recommendation in the author's comments. Let's work together to help Xiao Luo break the 300,000 average subscription mark as soon as possible!"
Everyone present was a leader in the industry, and they all knew how strong the momentum of "Lord of Mysteries" was. They already had the intention to befriend her, and with Yu Tu taking the initiative to lead the way—as a top female author on the platform, she already had considerable influence, so naturally no one would refuse her request.
Immediately, everyone nodded in agreement, their tone enthusiastic:
"Absolutely! I'll go back and edit the copy to promote it for Xiao Luo. It has to be arranged!"
Some people, seeing Gu Luo's young and handsome appearance, couldn't help but laugh and tease him:
"Oh my god, it's so unfair! When I was eighteen, I was still secretly installing software and playing games without paying attention to the risks, while others were already writing phenomenal masterpieces!"
There was also a middle-aged author with slightly receding hair who glanced at Gu Luo and muttered half-jokingly:
“My daughter is twelve this year. When she grows up, it’s not unacceptable for her to be six years older. Xiao Luo’s conditions are just too good.”
As soon as these words were spoken, a burst of laughter erupted in the private room, making the atmosphere even more relaxed and lively.
Only the sixth young master of the Tang family remained silent in the corner, his face so gloomy it seemed to drip water, radiating a low-pressure atmosphere that stood out starkly from the lively surroundings.
Jade Rabbit never intended to go all the way. Regarding the bet, she thought she could use Gu Luo's appearance to give Sixth Young Master a way out, since they were old acquaintances and there was no need to completely ruin their relationship.
But seeing that Sixth Young Master remained cold and feigned death the entire time, showing no sign of softening, her inherent shrewishness resurfaced. She picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and deliberately raised her voice as she put it down, her tone carrying an undisguised sneer:
"Oh, I almost forgot something—it seems someone's going to dance on stage tonight, right? I hope they don't chicken out and embarrass our circle."
These words struck a nerve with Tang Jia Liu Shao, and his face instantly turned even more ashen, alternating between pale and flushed, as if the pent-up anger in his chest was about to burst forth.
