Blue Sky Cold Drinks.
Zhou Chu was pulled by Gao Qinyi to sit in a seat by the window.
They had just come down from the mountain. Since Gu Man had to go to the countryside for filming practice, Gao Qinyi took him into the store on her motorcycle after saying goodbye.
It's a very clean cold drink shop, and there are very few people.
The lighting was dim, and with many couples around, the store had an eerie atmosphere.
"Did you used to sit here often?" Zhou Chu looked out the window, and right across from him was the side entrance of Lian University.
From this angle, the school still looks quite grand, with its high-arched side gate and students using facial recognition to enter and exit.
Most of them are always seen in pairs.
At midday, single people usually stay in their dorm rooms watching anime or TV shows; they have no interest in going out to have fun.
If Gao Qinyi hadn't insisted on pulling him along, he would definitely have gone back to his dorm to enjoy the air conditioning and write.
Of course, these couples' ultimate destination was not Blue Sky Cold Drinks.
Instead, it's the Star Hotel next door.
Many people who left the ice cream shop ended up at the Star Hotel next door.
It's as if coming here is just to replenish HP.
“Of course not.” Gao Qinyi shook her head and pushed the menu in front of him: “I usually go to the private rooms upstairs.”
"Going alone?"
"Of course." Gao Qinyi rolled her eyes at him. "What are you thinking?"
"That's quite pitiful." Zhou Chu pushed the menu back.
It's really quite pitiful.
One can imagine that in the other cubicles, couples were all lovey-dovey, feeding each other.
Gao Qinyi was the only one who fed herself.
Moreover, as is well known, the soundproofing of such private rooms is often unsatisfactory.
There does appear to be a small staircase on the side.
It seems that the fact that no one was downstairs was just an illusion.
"Get lost." Gao Qinyi picked up the menu and tapped him on the head: "Hurry up and order, stop talking nonsense."
"Then why are we sitting here today?" Zhou Chu asked, flipping through the menu as he spoke.
The items are still somewhat expensive.
An ice cream alone costs six yuan, and a cup of orange smoothie costs ten yuan.
The back features snacks that aren't cold drinks, like chicken nuggets and burgers.
These kinds of packages usually cost more than thirty yuan.
To put it simply, it's the new book season now, and as a struggling author, the royalties I receive each day aren't even enough to afford a meal here.
“Today is different. I’m not going to sit in a private room with bad people,” Gao Qinyi replied, propping her head up with one hand, as if she had already guessed he would ask this.
"I see." Zhou Chu nodded, waved to the shop assistant, and a girl in a uniform rushed over.
They look like students from a school, working part-time here.
"I'm not hungry." He closed the menu and pushed it back to Gao Qinyi.
"Order whatever you like, I'll pay," Gao Qinyi said, patting her chest.
"Since you're paying, you can order. I'll just grab something simple to eat."
She hesitated for a moment, then picked up the menu and ordered.
“My usual private room is already booked.” After ordering, Gao Qinyi’s gaze drifted to the window: “This place is nice too, you can see the street view outside.”
Why did you decide to write a book?
A very profound question.
This question had been weighing on Gao Qinyi's mind for a long time.
Because of their writing, it's clear that their chances and progress in developing their relationship have been affected!
"First, it's a hobby; second, it's about making money."
Do you really need the money?
The two families had been neighbors since childhood, so she was familiar with Zhou Chu's family background.
While not extremely wealthy, they are at least a middle-class family.
"Is there anyone who doesn't need money?" Zhou Chu took the shaved ice that Gao Qinyi had ordered for him and took a sip.
It's really cold.
Gao Qinyi's glass had the same amount of shaved ice as the one he was drinking.
This at least proves one thing: Gao Qinyi is available today.
Although this knowledge point is not very useful.
"How does it feel to write novels every day?"
"What would it be like if you had to teach students every day?"
Zhou Chu looked at the paper straw, which was already somewhat soaked and mushy, and decisively pulled it off along with the cap.
He didn't want to drink a mouthful of paper scraps.
I'd rather drink straight than use a paper straw.
Gao Qinyi thought about it seriously for a full minute before answering, "Then I'll definitely get tired."
“That’s right.” Zhou Chu picked up a piece of chicken she had ordered.
She was so focused on her work that she didn't notice anything amiss.
So he popped another piece into his mouth and continued, "But what if every student listens very attentively to your lesson and actively answers questions?"
"That would definitely be much better!"
“That makes sense.” Zhou Chu put a chicken nugget in his mouth and took a sip of shaved ice.
It tasted good, but I won't try it again.
"So, it would be super fun to get feedback from readers, and even just imagining what comments or feedback readers would give on this paragraph would be very enjoyable."
"I see." Gao Qinyi looked enlightened.
She had experienced this feeling before; it was the same feeling when writing lesson plans.
If students don't follow her design in class, it's okay once, but if it happens too often, they'll feel terrible.
"If a person writes a book alone and no one reads it, he will definitely doubt himself, wondering if what he has written is a treasure or garbage, and whether he is a useless person?"
"So how are you feeling now?" Gao Qinyi asked earnestly.
Her eyes were full of concern for him.
It was the kind of expression that seemed to fear he might be doubting himself.
"It's hard to say."
"Then tell me!"
Gao Qinyi picked up a piece of chicken with her fingers and held it towards his mouth.
Zhou Chu hesitated for a moment, but then opened his mouth and decided to accept her feeding.
"Do you think I didn't notice you've been secretly eating all this time?"
The chicken nugget was clearly right at his lips, but Gao Qinyi suddenly pulled her hand back.
She ate the chicken nuggets herself!
"Will you keep writing?" Gao Qinyi blinked, her eyes filled with anticipation mixed with worry.
She quite liked Zhou Chu's persistent and hardworking nature, a side of him that she was unaware of.
Although it might affect the development of their relationship, as long as Zhou Chu can become famous, it's okay to get married later!
Why did I even think of getting married?
Gao Qinyi couldn't help but slap her head.
Spending every day with Zhou Chu, she felt like her brain was about to break down.
“Maybe.” Zhou Chu took a sip of his smoothie and gave a helpless smile. “After all, I still have a book club with forty people. My ambitions may have faded a bit, but at least they haven’t completely disappeared.”
"Open your mouth~" Gao Qinyi picked up another piece and fed it into his mouth.
