Chapter 104 Nanjing City
After Lu Zhaoye and Luo Xiao finished their meal, it was already quite late, so they went back to their respective rooms.
Lu Zhaoye sat in the chair and replied to a few messages while the computer was on.
[Clear]: Brother, I'll be waiting for you downstairs tomorrow.
[Rizhao]: OK, get some rest, we need to get up early tomorrow.
Lu Zhaoye watched as the "typing" message immediately appeared in the chat box and waited patiently for a while.
[Clear]: Okay, brother.
After seeing the message, Lu Zhaoye switched to a secondary account to reply to his fellow readers.
After getting to know her over the past few days, Lu Zhaoye discovered that the reader who had previously tipped him and asked for extra chapters for Su Luoluo was actually a wealthy young woman.
As soon as Lu Zhaoye logged into his alternate account, he was bombarded with a barrage of messages.
[Don't want to study]: Why hasn't Su Luoluo appeared in any of the chapters these past few days? What are you doing, author?
[Don't want to study]: When are you going to write Su Luoluo's storyline? I want to see Su Luoluo and the male lead's interactions.
[Don't want to study]: Is it because I didn't tip you? I'll definitely tip you as long as you write, okay? I haven't had much money these past few days, so I haven't tipped you.
Lu Zhaoye smiled; he was actually quite happy to have such a dedicated reader.
Without hesitation, he quickly typed out an explanation.
[King of Rice Cakes]: Dear reader, please don't be impatient. The reason why Su Luoluo hasn't appeared in the chapters these past few days is because we're preparing a big plot. Please be patient and wait a little longer.
As soon as Lu Zhaoye sent the message, the chat box on the other end immediately changed to "typing," as if it had been waiting for his message.
[Don't want to study]: Okay, okay.
[Don't want to study]: I can wait, please don't stop updating.
Lu Zhaoye smiled, offered a few more words of reassurance, then put down his phone and continued typing.
Because he'll be out all day tomorrow and will definitely be tired when he gets back, Lu Zhaoye decided to write a little more today so he can be lazy tomorrow.
It was only eleven o'clock when Lu Zhaoye finished writing. This was the first time he had gone to bed before midnight since he started writing. Lying in bed, Lu Zhaoye thought about many things.
In the end, Lu Zhaoye realized that he lacked nothing except money.
But Lu Zhaoye really didn't know where to make money. He had no idea how to play the stock market, and he wasn't capable of starting a business.
Lu Zhaoye was quite confident that he would make a fortune writing novels, but he would have to wait another two months.
Lu Zhaoye wanted to make a quick buck in the next two months so he wouldn't be overwhelmed by unexpected situations.
He sighed helplessly, picked up his phone from beside his pillow and scrolled through it. While looking at the League of Legends match clips being pushed to him, a flash of inspiration struck Lu Zhaoye.
He hurriedly opened the recent match history of LOL. The Spring Split had long ended, and MSI had been underway for more than ten days. As a loyal LOL fan, he knew the champion of almost every major tournament.
His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly opened the calendar. The MSI finals were just around the corner, next Sunday the 23rd.
Lu Zhaoye made a decision: after returning from Nanjing, he would start raising money and then go all in to bet on the Royal Family to win the game and make a quick buck.
The 2021 Showmaker is not the same as the Showmaker a few years later; they still have a good chance of winning the championship.
Lu Zhaoye felt much more at ease and fell into a deep sleep.
......
......
At 6:30 a.m. the next morning, Lu Zhaoye woke up on time. He first listened to the door to see if there was any movement outside before running out.
To avoid being caught by Luo Xiao, Lu Zhaoye quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, then grabbed his prepared schoolbag and slipped away.
Before leaving, Lu Zhaoye paid special attention to the apartment across the hall. There were two bags of trash placed at the door, indicating that someone had already moved in.
Lu Zhaoye didn't think much of it and left with his schoolbag on his back.
When Lu Zhaoye arrived at Xu Ziqing's house, the mother and daughter were already waiting downstairs.
Lu Zhaoye got out of the taxi, his usual smiling face vanished, and he spoke solemnly.
"Don't worry, Aunt Xu, I will bring Xu Ziqing back safe and sound."
Xu's mother nodded, her eyes slightly red. Seeing her daughter's nervous expression, she managed to hold back her tears.
Seeing this, Lu Zhaoye smiled and said to Xu Ziqing,
"Xu Ziqing, hug your mother, then we should go."
Xu Ziqing was stunned for a moment. She turned around and hugged her mother, her tension easing somewhat. She whispered,
"Mom, don't worry, I'll come back."
"..."
The two got into a taxi. Xu Ziqing was still a little nervous, holding her white cane in one hand and nervously gripping her knee with the other.
Lu Zhaoye has a poor sense of balance and gets dizzy in taxis, so he fainted as soon as he got in the car and didn't notice this detail.
An hour later, Lu Zhaoye and Xu Ziqing finally arrived at the high-speed rail station.
There were very few people early in the morning, and there was no queue at the security checkpoint. Lu Zhaoye carried a bag on his back, held something in one hand, and grabbed Xu Ziqing's wrist with the other as they found a seat in the waiting hall.
Lu Zhaoye had prepared bread and milk for breakfast in advance, but unexpectedly, Xu's mother got up even earlier and bought two servings of steamed buns and soy milk for them to take with them.
While waiting for the train, Lu Zhaoye quickly finished his own meal and slowly stuffed it into Xu Ziqing's mouth.
Xu Ziqing's initial nervousness gradually subsided. Feeling Lu Zhaoye's presence beside her, she felt a sense of security. Lu Zhaoye was still chattering in her ear.
"Don't lose me when we get to Nanjing, okay? But I probably won't, I'll be holding on to you the whole time."
"It was almost noon when we arrived in Nanjing. Let's go have lunch first and then go see your dad in the afternoon. He won't get off work until then."
"Are you thirsty? Have some soy milk."
Xu Ziqing's lips curled up slightly as she sensed the concern in Lu Zhaoye's tone, and she quietly moved closer to him.
Lu Zhaoye didn't pay attention and took out the phone from inside Xu Ziqing's sun protection clothing to add his own phone number.
He had only just discovered that Xu Ziqing's phone wasn't one of those with particularly good blind mode; it was just an ordinary one, and it was quite worn out, with a cracked screen that was even a bit rough to the touch.
Lu Zhaoye didn't say much, simply putting Xu Ziqing's phone back into her sun-protective clothing pocket, and offering a word of advice.
"It's unlikely we'll break up, but if we do, and you can't find me, just call me, okay?"
Xu Ziqing nodded, a smile quietly spreading across her face, revealing a pair of small dimples. Lu Zhaoye couldn't resist raising his hand to poke them.
"Xu Ziqing, you should smile more often in the future. Your dimples are so cute."
Xu Ziqing paused for a moment, then leaned closer to Lu Zhaoye and whispered,
"So, brother, do you like it?"
Lu Zhaoye blinked and said without hesitation,
"like."
