It was a completely subconscious reaction.
Gao Qinyi pulled Zhou Chu aside, and the two of them huddled at the edge of the kitchen.
She didn't know why she was doing this, but she just felt that she couldn't let Li Qiuran find out.
"Sister Qin?"
"Don't speak!" Gao Qinyi interrupted him.
The two of them huddled together in the small corner.
Because they were so close, the fragrance emanating from Gao Qinyi wafted straight into his nose.
Under the hazy moonlight, Gao Qinyi's profile became blurred, which ironically gave her a unique beauty.
She was staring intently at Li Qiuran.
At the same time, they were frantically thinking of countermeasures!
Hiding here won't work; Li Qiuran will find out sooner or later.
"Qinqin?" Li Qiuran gently knocked on the bathroom door, but no one answered.
"He shouldn't be here; the lights aren't even on," Li Qiuran muttered to herself as she walked towards Zhou Chu's room.
Although she was sleepy at this moment, she had already regained some awareness.
If we were to seize upon the fact that Gao Qinyi and Zhou Chu were alone in a room together...
This is absolute proof that they're in a relationship, and no amount of explanation will change that.
"Don't move here." Gao Qinyi reached out and pressed down on Zhou Chu's restless shoulder. "I'll go and lead her back to her room. You just need to find a chance to go back to your room."
Before Zhou Chu could react, Gao Qinyi had already stood up and walked towards Li Qiuran.
The phone was in the small pocket at the back of her pajamas.
I was so nervous just now that I didn't even notice she had changed into a brown, fluffy pajama set!
With her tall stature, she really did resemble a large, upright brown bear.
She's actually quite cute. She'd probably be even cuter if she hadn't tried to take the phone from me.
"Ranran, I'm here."
Just a second before she pushed open Zhou Chu's door, Gao Qinyi's voice rang out.
This interrupted her rhythm as she was about to open the door.
The situation was good. Gao Qinyi took a few quick steps and grabbed her hand from the doorknob.
"Where did you hide your phone? I've been looking for it for ages!"
Gao Qinyi's tone carried a hint of resentment.
But given her personality, for her to say something like that...
Zhou Chu, listening from behind, got goosebumps.
Does it have to be so unnatural?
Gao Qinyi truly lacks the talent to be an actress; this lie is ridiculously bad.
"Really?" Li Qiuran looked towards the kitchen, clearly not believing it.
"Of course it's true!"
Although that's what she said, she was actually quite nervous inside.
What if she insists on pushing open Zhou Chu's door?
What if she insists on going to take a look in the direction of the kitchen?
But in reality, Li Qiuran just looked into her eyes and chuckled.
"Okay. I just woke up and found you weren't here. I thought you went to keep your Chuchu company..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gao Qinyi blushed and hurriedly waved her hands. "How could that be!"
"I knew it, it couldn't be possible."
Li Qiuran patted her shoulder meaningfully, then turned around to go into the restroom.
She came out specifically to use the restroom.
Zhou Chu remained squatting in the kitchen, not daring to even peek out.
Zhou Chu only stood up after confirming that they had returned to their rooms.
It was so agonizing.
They almost gave themselves away!
He strode towards his room.
Until he reached the door, he inexplicably turned around and looked at Li Qiuran from the same angle she had just seen.
it turns out!
From this angle, you can see a gap right under the dining table!
The moonlight is shining brightly at this moment.
If that place hadn't been bathed in moonlight...
Isn't it just your own shadow under the moonlight?
To verify his hypothesis, he even lowered his body further.
Try to mimic Li Qiuran's height before looking at her.
You can see it clearly! But Gao Qinyi's angle makes it impossible to see at all.
This might mean that Li Qiuran actually discovered the two of them hiding there from the very beginning.
The reason I didn't expose them was because I wanted to see how they would weave their lies.
He even began to suspect that Li Qiuran's behavior in the elevator was an act.
Otherwise, how could he be so incredibly intelligent?
He obediently went back to his room and locked the door.
I opened the screen, and it was almost two o'clock.
It's really late.
As a seasoned author, what's the first thing you do when you get a mobile phone?
Of course, I'll open the Author Assistant to see how much the collection has increased!
It has already exceeded 100,000 words, so it has been put on the intelligent recommendation system.
The so-called "intelligent recommendation" means recommending books based on your reading preferences, or similar recommendations appearing under books by certain renowned authors.
Like his very talented author friend, whose book title is displayed at the bottom of the page.
For the big shots, this is just a spam push, and the benefits it brings are negligible.
But for Zhou Chu, it was already very useful.
With the smart recommendation feature, my daily collection count increases by two to three hundred.
However, while the number of collections increased, the number of readers actually followed the trend.
This means that while new readers are coming in, existing readers are also being lost!
Two members have already left the book club group, but there were some veteran readers who had been there since the group was created.
One of them was even his operations officer!
It makes me nostalgic for when the group was first created, when everyone was good friends.
This chapter mentions that there are only three or four people keeping things going, and they all know each other and are willing to help the author promote the content...
Why am I feeling inexplicably sad?
According to the editor, there should only be 180 reads so far.
We're still twenty spots away from securing a spot in the next round.
Whether I can continue posting this week is basically up to fate.
Zhou Chu sighed and lay down on the bed to go to sleep.
Then, to my surprise, I discovered—
I can't sleep!
Every time I close my eyes, I see the tragic scene of the book dying and people starving to death if I don't get a recommendation tomorrow.
And it just won't go away!
Of all the books I've written over the years, this one has definitely been the one I've poured the most effort into.
If he fails again, he'll start to doubt whether he's really not suited for this line of work.
He promptly opened QQ, and a chat window with his friends popped up.
[Chu Kuangren: Are you there? Are you still writing?]
About two minutes later, the other party replied to the message.
[Li Shiyi: Of course! What? You've started staying up all night writing like me?]
That's right, this is another author friend of his.
However, unlike the previous one, this one is a complete failure just like himself.
Even the books were published around the same time, and their word counts, scores, and recommendations were all similar.
[Chu Kuangren: Do you think we can become gods?]
[Li Shiyi: Don't ask, the answer is no]
[Chu Kuangren: I feel like I've forgotten how to write a book, what should I do? (tears welling up)]
[Li Shiyi: Then I won't write (trying hard to type.jpg)]
[Chu Kuangren: ...]
[Li Shiyi: If I one day achieve my lofty ambitions, I dare to laugh at Huang Chao for not being a true man.]
Looking at this line of text, Zhou Chu fell into deep thought.
