Chapter 227 Father and daughter finally meet

Chapter 227 Father and daughter finally meet

At noon, there was a Sichuan restaurant a few kilometers away from the Ji Hotel.

Xu Youyu and Li Luo were sitting in a small private room, looking at the menu.

Of course, Li Luo was mainly looking at the menu, while Xu Youyu sat opposite Li Luo, holding his chin with both hands, staring at Li Luo's face.

"Is Mapo Tofu OK? The Mapo Tofu in Sichuan Restaurant should taste good."

"Yes."

"Spicy chicken, too."

“Yes.”

“Husband and wife’s lung slices, try it?”

“Yes.”

"I don't know what the editor wants to eat. I'll order two more dishes when he comes."

"Yeah."

Li Luo asked the waiter next to him and asked for a large bottle. The fruit was orange, and then he temporarily put down the menu, looked at Xu Youyu opposite, and was stunned.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Li Luo touched his face, "Is there something on my face?"

"It's nothing." Xu Youyu came back to his senses , shook his head, and smiled.

How should I put it...

During the previous meeting, Li Luo’s book was criticized by a man named Chu Sheng. Xu Youyu thought that after Li Luo stood up, he would not be able to help but follow The other party started to curse.

This made Xu Youyu a little worried. Apart from worry, he was also a little expectant.

Because she has never seen Li Luo angry and swearing.

At most, I just couldn't stand it after being teased by her occasionally, and I was a little angry, which was different from pure anger.

But what Xu Youyu didn't expect was that Li Luo could calmly talk to others.

Although there are occasionally some strange words, the attitude is at least a state of communication, not a pure attack mode in an angry state.

This made Xu Youyu think of his father.

Xu Rongsheng is such a person.

Growing up, Xu Youyu had almost never seen Xu Rong angry.

Even though my mother would occasionally have a little temper, and she would occasionally make trouble unreasonably when she was a child, Xu Rongsheng always maintained a gentle attitude and communicated with them.

How to say it.

To those ordinary girls, maybe Li Luo stood up and cursed at Chu Sheng just now, and they might think it was very handsome.

But for Xu Youyu, who grew up under Xu Rongsheng's rational education, after seeing Li Luo's neither humble nor arrogant behavior just now, he was a little bit handsome by him.

It’s that feeling of being able to communicate rationally without worrying that the other party won’t understand what you mean!

Xu Youyu enjoyed this feeling very much.

Before, Xu Youyu was still confused as to why he felt quite comfortable when getting along with Li Luo.

Now, she probably found part of the reason.

"Sorry, I'm late."

At this moment, the private room door was pushed open, Qianzhou walked in from the outside, pulled out a chair and sat down, and was pushed by Li Luo Got a menu.

“You order two more dishes.” Li Luo said.

"Okay." Faced with a guy with a monthly income of 370,000 yuan, Qianzhou was no longer polite to him, and went straight to the most expensive order, "Sauerkraut fish, Dengying beef, that's it. "

Li Luo nodded, called the waiter in, added two more dishes, then opened the oranges and filled the glasses of the three of them.

"By the way, can't you two wait for me in front of the hotel?" Qianzhou thought of this and was speechless. "You still have to let me take a taxi here alone."

"Cough ...Well...it's a long story." Li Luo glanced at Xu Youyu, and Xu Youyu also glanced at him, both of them feeling helpless.

"Then to cut the story short, is it possible that there is something else to hide?"

"That's right." Li Luo sighed and said to Qianzhou, "Will the Writers Association invite a few people to the symposium this morning? Come to give a speech in person?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"One of them is Professor Xu from the Department of Literature of Qianjiang University, do you know?"
< br>"It seems so." Qianzhou nodded, "This is all arranged by the Writers Association, and I'm not very familiar with it. What's wrong?"

"Normally speaking, of course not. No problem, but..." Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu sitting opposite and said with a smile, "This Professor Xu just went to bed early."

"What?" Because Qianzhou is the editor, So I didn’t attend the symposium in the morning, so I don’t know what happened.

Hearing the news at this time, his mind was suddenly confused. He looked at Xu Youyu next to him with a face covered with shame: "Your family background is not simple. You go to bed early. No wonder your writing skills are so good. It turns out that you are old." Dad is a professor in the Department of Literature, does this count as a scholarly family?”

“Editor, stop talking... ugh...” Xu Youyu covered his face and was afraid to see anyone, “I’m hiding now. It's too late for him. If my dad finds out that I'm writing online articles, I won't have to live anymore."

"Actually... I feel pretty good." Li Luo smiled and coughed twice. Then he shared with Qianzhou what happened at the symposium today, and then looked at Xu Youyu and said, "You see, your dad's attitude towards Internet articles is quite good. Maybe even if he knew that you were writing Internet articles, he probably wouldn't What about you?”

"You know nothing." Xu Youyu glared at him, "You don't want to think about what I usually write? My dad is a professor in the literature department. If he knew that I was writing a book, he would definitely take it seriously and carefully. Read my book several times.”

“I can imagine that he will drag me into the study room to discuss my plot arrangements and designs.”

“And what he teaches in school is modern and contemporary literature. What if he suddenly gets a whim and gives students an assignment to read through "The Age of Literature" and write an essay?"

"Then I'm really dead!"

When Xu Youyu said this, Li Luo couldn't help but feel ashamed: "So terrible?"

One thing to say, although he was My family knew that I was writing a novel, but most people didn’t actually read it.

Except for his father who occasionally reads it to kill time, only his cheap nephew Li Xiang is reading his novels.

Li Luo estimated that even his uncle Li Guoru could only read the beginning and then stop reading.

His mother Lin Xiuhong is in a similar situation.

After all, no matter how down-to-earth the Internet articles are, the audience will be selected based on different themes.

What's more, this is especially true for people who don't have any reading habits.

The only one who is really serious about pursuing updates is Yan Zhusheng.

Of course, now Li Luo knows, in addition to this, Xu Youyu must be added. But after hearing what Xu Youyu said, Li Luo suddenly realized how terrifying Xu Rongsheng was.

Then the next second, Li Luo's expression suddenly changed.

“But your dad doesn’t know that you are writing a book now, but he knows that I am writing a book!” Li Luo was shocked, “Damn! My book will not appear in the papers of uncle’s students in the future, right? ?”

“That’s not certain.” When Xu Youyu thought of this, he suddenly laughed, somewhat gloating, “Anyway, since my dad knows you are writing a book, he will definitely read it. "

Hearing this, Li Luo suddenly had black lines on his head: "... What a stupid Chu Sheng! "

When we were in the conference hall just now, I was too restrained. I would have scolded him if I had known. Be more ruthless.

Mainly because Xu Rongsheng was also present at the time, Li Luo was still not very good at losing his temper.

Now that I think about it, it’s really a shame.

"In that case." Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu, who was smiling brightly, and his eyes suddenly darkened, "If I could drag the senior sister into the water, wouldn't it be better?"

"Nothing else!" When Xu Youyu heard this, he immediately begged for mercy in a panic, "Have you forgotten the three chapters of our agreement? You can't break the rules and violate the rules."

"That's not the case either. Are you helping each other?" Li Luo said dissatisfied, "My vest has been exposed to your father."

"Isn't it all the fault of Chu Sheng? He asked me by name on the spot. You are in the lane, what can I do?" Xu Youyu was speechless, "I can only say that you are unlucky."

"But..." At this time, Qianzhou couldn't help but interject with good intentions. He reminded, "Go to bed early. In the essay award ceremony in the afternoon, there will be one first prize, three second prizes, and six third prizes."

"Among them, the first prize is the one who Secretary Cao will award the second prize to Chairman Li, and the third prize will be awarded to three other guests.”

“In other words, Professor Xu should be there when you go on stage to receive the award. I will also give you awards..."

"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, Xu Youyu's expression suddenly changed, and her expression suddenly became pitiful, and she quickly pleaded to Qianzhou, "Editor! I have the most important request of my life! Look..."

Of course Qianzhou knew what she meant, and he was a little bit dumbfounded: "Okay, okay, I understand. I'll ask you later."

"Although according to the regulations, the winner must come to accept the award."

"But if there are some special circumstances, it is not impossible to accommodate. See if you can let me go on stage to accept it on your behalf."

“Oh haha~” When Xu Youyu heard this, he immediately cheered, “Long live the editor!”

Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu’s likely escape and clicked his tongue. Twice: "Am I the only one who is unlucky?"

"It just so happens that my dad has found out about Li Luo. It doesn't matter whether he goes on stage or not." Xu Youyu pulled up a chair and sat next to Li Luo, smiling. Patting him on the shoulder, he said, "I feel sorry for you. Sister, I'll pick you some vegetables to eat, okay?"

As he said that, Xu Youyu picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of spicy chicken for him.

Li Luo rolled his eyes at her immediately, not knowing what to say.

Now there is only the bonus of 50,000 yuan, which can barely soothe his injured heart.

But how to say it.

Once the number of social deaths increases, people begin to slowly become numb.

Now even Xu Rongsheng knew that he was writing a novel, and Li Luo felt that his shamelessness was being developed.

......

After lunch, Qianzhou called the staff of the Writers Association in front of Xu Youyu in the hotel box and lied that Xu Youyu had an unexpected incident. I have an illness and I have to go to the hospital for a check-up in the afternoon. I may not be able to come to the award ceremony.

"Who do you think it is?" Sun Jingchun on the other end of the phone asked with a frown.

"Um... my pen name is "You will grow taller if you go to bed early." Qianzhou repeated a little guilty.

"Oh, is this the one named Xu Youyu?" Sun Jingchun's tone was inexplicably weird, "What disease does she have?"

"Well...it's not a serious illness, it's just... ...My menstrual period is here, and the menstrual cramps are severe. I need to go to the hospital for a check-up. I guess I won't be able to make it in time for the award ceremony," Qianzhou said nonchalantly.

"Oh~ That's right." Sun Jingchun nodded, "Then I understand. It's understandable under special circumstances. In this case, I'll ask you to help pick it up on your behalf."

"No problem." Qianzhou nodded repeatedly and made an OK gesture to Xu Youyu who was waiting nervously at the side.

After Xu Youyu saw Qianzhou's gesture, he jumped up excitedly and happily extended his hand to signal Li Luo to high-five her.

Li Luo stretched out his hand with a speechless expression and touched her symbolically.

At this time, Qianzhou had already hung up the phone and added to Xu Youyu: "You don’t have to go on stage for the award ceremony, but the other person also said that after you come back from the hospital, you have to find someone from the Writers Association to take a photo. . ”

“After all, this is going to be posted on the photo wall of the Writers Association and the Online Writers Association. Your photo will be uploaded when the time comes.”

“There should be no problem. ? After all, your dad wouldn’t go all the way to the Writers’ Association in the city just to take a look at the photo wall.” Xu Youyu nodded happily, “That’s definitely not the case. Yes, that's no problem."

"It's really boring." Li Luo sighed, "I still want to see the wonderful expression on my uncle's face when you go on stage to receive the award."

"Hmph, can't you order something good from me?" Xu Youyu said angrily.

"I see you were gloating just now." Li Luo looked at her sideways, "What a double-standard woman."

After solving the problem of the award ceremony, Xu Youyu felt relaxed and followed Li Luo and Qianzhou took a taxi and rushed to the hotel.

However, just as Xu Youyu walked beside Li Luo with a happy and relaxed expression, walked into the door of Ji Hotel, and was about to walk through the lobby and head to the elevator, a very familiar voice came from next to him. sound.

"Youyu? Why are you here?"

When she heard this voice, her whole body froze in place.

Turning his head to look around, Xu Youyu saw that Xu Rongsheng was sitting in the sofa seating area next to the front desk of the hall. He just got up and walked over, looking at her with a surprised expression.

At this moment, Xu Youyu's brain suddenly buzzed, and his entire brain went blank.

In extreme panic, she subconsciously grabbed Li Luo's sleeve and hurriedly hid behind him, trying to pretend not to recognize him.

"Li Luo, Li Luo! Think of a way!" Xu Youyu begged in a low voice, "We're going to be discovered! What should we do, what should we do, what should we do? Help me!"

Li Luo felt the shivering senior sister hiding behind him, and suddenly felt dumbfounded and helpless.

Wasn’t it quite arrogant just now?

Now you are begging him again, right?

There is really nothing I can do against you...

"What are you hiding from?" Xu Rongsheng walked up to Li Luo and looked behind him, "I'm not blind, why are you hiding behind Li Luo?"

He said this, but Xu Rongsheng looked at him. Xu Youyu didn't seem to be suffering from menstrual cramps, so he felt relieved.

In short, just be fine.
