Chapter 701 The Universe Shocks Gu Luo has always been obedient, especially in taking good care of Lu Xuexue, never failing her in the slightest.
He picked up his chopsticks and ate the bowl full of vegetables and meat, leaving nothing behind, even the tripe covered in sesame sauce. The bowl was spotless, with not a single crumb left.
Seeing him eat with gusto, Lu Xuexue's smile deepened, like a little girl who had received a reward, and she immediately got busy again.
First, he used serving chopsticks to pick up a few rolls of fatty beef and put them into the boiling copper pot. Watching the meat slices slowly change color and curl up, he then casually picked up a refreshing cucumber salad for Gu Luo to cut through the greasiness.
Once the beef rolls are cooked, quickly scoop them out, coat them with sesame sauce, and gently place them into Gu Luo's bowl.
The little girl even picked up a clove of garlic, pinched the skin between her fingertips, and carefully peeled it little by little. Her fair fingers moved nimbly, and she quickly peeled a clean clove of garlic and handed it to Gu Luo.
Yu Zhou, watching this scene from the side, was completely stunned.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to break the sweet atmosphere, but he was afraid of disturbing the couple's sweet interaction, so he could only swallow his words and awkwardly eat his meat with his chopsticks in silence.
No matter how tender the mutton in the pot was, or how fragrant the sesame sauce was, it tasted bland in his mouth at that moment. His mind was filled with the loving scene of the young couple in front of him.
Gu Luo ate with great pleasure. A bite of tender mutton, a bite of crisp garlic, spicy yet refreshing, and the warm broth slid down his throat, making him feel completely comfortable.
With Lu Xuexue gently serving him, handing him vegetables and peeling garlic, her eyes constantly glued to him, what could be more beautiful than this in the dead of winter?
However, he knew he couldn't be too "dog-food-like," so he ate a few more bites of meat with Yu Zhou, then put down his chopsticks and smiled at Yu Zhou, who was still silently eating.
"Brother, I'll be able to start writing the next book after the New Year. I'll definitely need to trouble you with your help."
The words "new book" acted like a shot in the arm, instantly waking up the universe that was still in an awkward state.
He abruptly raised his head, his eyes instantly lighting up. The embarrassment and envy from before vanished. He raised the wine glass in front of him, tilted his head back, and downed it in one gulp, not even noticing the wine trickling down his chin. He wiped his mouth cleanly.
"Don't worry, brother! I can't guarantee anything else, but all the recommendation slots I have are yours!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, his tone full of certainty:
"You're now our website's new star. Your novel, Lord of Mysteries, is a hit across the internet with countless fans. As long as you maintain this level of quality, your new book will definitely be a massive success!"
After a pause, as if remembering something, Yu Zhou hesitated slightly before speaking:
"Well... bro, isn't this transition a bit too fast? Lord of Mysteries is a Western fantasy novel with a grand world view, rigorous settings, and a solid reader base... but your new book is about the entertainment industry... isn't that a bit too big of a leap?"
In his heart, he actually wanted to advise Gu Luo to stick to writing Western fantasy—this was clearly Gu Luo's comfort zone, and continuing to write this genre would be a safe and effective way to gain fans.
Once you switch tracks, the competition in the entertainment industry is fierce, and you're prone to writing poorly because you're unfamiliar with the industry rules, which can easily lead to a flop.
However, Gu Luo is now a big shot on the website with considerable influence. As the editor in charge, there are some things that are not suitable to say too bluntly and can only be hinted at.
Gu Luo naturally saw through his thoughts, picked up her glass, took a sip of beer, the cold liquor soothing the dryness in her throat, and explained with a smile:
"Brother, don't worry, my entertainment industry novel is different from the others on the market."
"Different?" Yu Zhou became interested, leaning forward slightly as he pressed on:
