☆、15、I am a genius (2234 words)
Although the analysis was intended for Feng Zihao, it also reminded him that everything was still in its early stages of development. He didn't have such lofty ambitions; he was content to make a little money through small ventures so he wouldn't starve.
Some websites are still in their early stages. Although he doesn't have a deep literary foundation, his writing style is still quite good. He can't write any groundbreaking works, but he's more than capable of writing some novels. In particular, he knows which genres of novels will be popular in the future, and this advantage will allow him to earn some money.
Without hesitation, Li Yaxi registered an account on a website with promising future prospects. After browsing through it briefly, she noticed that most of the current themes were urban romance, martial arts, and fantasy.
Li Yaxi had read some good novels about time travel and reincarnation, and quickly drafted an outline: a time-traveling story about a concubine in the cold palace who gradually rises to become the most favored empress. She spent two days writing the outline, and once she had the main idea, the rest was quite simple.
Li Yaxi writes in her online space every day with her notebook. Writing ancient time-travel novels in a space full of classical charm makes it even more artistic, and inspiration flows like a spring. After writing most of it, she tries to slowly publish it online, updating once or twice a day.
In just about half a month, he was featured on the homepage, and the website editors extended an olive branch to him, hoping to sign him as a verified user and have him stay on the site long-term.
These days, there aren't many paid articles. Many people feel that since they've already paid for internet access, it's not worth paying more to see something, so most choose to go elsewhere. However, there are still a small number of people who are willing to buy them.
Li Yaxi was very happy and felt a great sense of accomplishment that her first post was so popular. She was especially motivated when she saw the comments piling up on page after page.
Therefore, Li Yaxi decided that his first novel would not be a paid novel. He also wrote an announcement to tell everyone that his novel would not be abandoned or paid, but the next novel would be signed for a paid subscription. Although many people said not to sign a paid subscription, some people felt that it was understandable for him to put in the effort and time to write a novel and earn some money, and they were very supportive of him.
Feng Zihao would come over every day, rain or shine, and cook for Li Yaxi. Li Yaxi would play on the computer, sometimes checking how popular her writing was, which would make her feel especially good. She would unconsciously give Feng Zihao a silly smile, though it was subtle, it still made Feng Zihao somewhat infatuated. Li Yaxi didn't tell Feng Zihao that she was writing a novel. She didn't know why she was keeping it a secret, but she just didn't want him to know.
Feng Zihao saw Li Yaxi playing "Fishing for Kittens" on the computer and smiled indulgently, "Time to eat. Give your eyes a rest, you can play again later."
"Okay, coming right away." He quickly exited the game, then walked to the dining table and sat down. Feng Zihao would bring him the food; he was already used to Feng Zihao's care. "Ya Xi, let's go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. It's been over a month; let's see if we need to change your medication."
He can go get checked out. His foot healed ages ago. He still has a month of vacation left. He just finished the outline of a long novel, and if all goes well, he can finish it in a month or two. Luckily, he has a month to dedicate entirely to writing.
Li Yaxi was in high spirits, so of course she couldn't interrupt. "No need. I change my medication every week. I went to the hospital for a check-up a while ago. There weren't many people at the hospital this morning, so I went by myself. Anyway, I'm almost fully recovered. As long as I don't run around, you can't even tell when I walk."
Indeed, Li Yaxi can walk without assistance now and seems perfectly normal. However, hearing her say she went to the hospital by herself, and imagining her holding a number, queuing up, getting checked, and picking up her medication all by herself, Feng Zihao felt incredibly sorry for her.
"Ya Xi, with me here, don't be afraid of trouble." Just rely on me a little bit more, just a little bit more!
Li Yaxi took a bite of food, smiled, and nodded. He understood what Feng Zihao was thinking that day. Everyone hopes that the person they care about can rely on them; it's proof of affirmation. Feng Zihao wouldn't understand how much Li Yaxi relied on him now; those words about independence were just casual remarks.
When Li Yaxi returned to school, it happened to be the day of the quarterly exams. Everyone was tense, and the looks they gave him ranged from reassurance and worry to gloating. Li Yaxi understood what they were thinking, but she didn't care.
Zhan Xiaoyu, on the other hand, looked at him with a disdainful expression and said, "Aren't you stupid? You could have come to school in two days. You could have avoided it, but you didn't even know to!"
Li Yaxi just smiled and didn't say anything. Could he possibly admit that those two months of leave were earned by getting first place in the quarterly exams? Could he hide it? Feng Zihao patted Li Yaxi's shoulder worriedly, "It's okay, rankings aren't important."
He was also a little worried. Li Yaxi had always been number one and the best at everything. This time, she had been injured and delayed for so long. He was afraid that if she didn't do well on the exam, she would feel uncomfortable.
Li Yaxi hooked her arm around Feng Zihao's neck like a best friend and said, "Hey, it's a deal this time. If I do well on the test, you have to treat me to a meal to celebrate. If I don't do well, you have to treat me to a meal to comfort me!"
Feng Zihao looked at him gently and said, "No problem."
"How can there be no problem! There's a huge problem!" Zhan Xiaoyu shouted loudly. "Li Yaxi, are you kidding me! It's only right that Zihao treats you to dinner to comfort you when you didn't do well on the exam, but if you did well, shouldn't you be treating us to celebrate!"
Li Yaxi looked at him with disdain, too lazy to even glance at him. "I haven't been to class for three months. If I can still do well on the exam, that proves I'm a genius. Shouldn't you feel honored to have a genius friend? Of course, you should treat me to a meal to show how lucky you are to have made a genius friend!"
Only Li Yaxi could say something so shameless. Zhan Xiaoyu was speechless after just one sentence and had no choice but to sit back down and not bother arguing with such a shameless person.
Seeing that Zhan Xiaoyu couldn't win the argument, Li Yaxi even gave Feng Zihao a V-sign with an air of superiority. Feng Zihao shook his head helplessly; Zhan Xiaoyu really wasn't afraid of being swayed by obstacles.
This time, Zhou Yang was very generous and friendly towards Li Yaxi, gently telling him not to worry about the rankings. It wasn't that Zhou Yang had changed his personality; it was just that Li Yaxi hadn't been around, and Zhou Yang, as before, had been busy taking care of Feng Zihao, which put him in a good mood. However, Li Yaxi was back now, which was something he really didn't want to see, but he couldn't show it too obviously. Besides, after being separated for over three months, Feng Zihao might have become distant towards him. Little did he know that they hadn't been apart for a single day, still seeing each other every day, and that Feng Zihao's status had risen from ordinary classmate to that of a caretaker.
The quarterly exams lasted two days, and then came the May Day holiday. Although Li Yaxi had days off every day, he only took the leave because of his foot injury, so he couldn't go anywhere except within the courtyard house. Now, of course, Li Yaxi wanted to go out and have some fun.
