Wen Ziyin: Effort

Unexpectedly, Yuxue would ask such a question, and Xia Yu looked at her incredulously.

Yan Wei is fine, but Yan Li is your best friend, and she's only in her first year of junior high!

"I don't like any of them," Xia Yu flatly refused.

"Eh, it's clear that as long as big brother hooks his finger, they will come to you," Yuxue lamented for two seconds, and then asked, "So, do you like Feng Yujia and Feng Yumo?"

"Not interested," Xia Yu refused again.

Speaking of the Feng sisters, Xia Yu recalled something he had discovered after they left.

The convenience store where he used to work and where Feng Yujia also worked was actually part of the Feng Group's business.

At that time, Feng Yujia's hourly wage was unusually high, and she ran away without working a full month, with no one looking for her, which Xia Yu found strange.

He originally thought that the Feng family would be so confident in letting their two beautiful daughters live in another city, but now it seems that they were prepared for this in secret.

"Do you like Gui- ah!"

Before Yuxue could finish speaking, Xia Yu's hand knocked on her head.

"If you don't like women, then you must like men, right?" Yuxue muttered.

"... These four people cannot represent all women."

"Do you have to find a girlfriend in college? Isn't it convenient to find someone you know?"

"What do you think having a girlfriend is? Why is there even the term 'convenient'?" Xia Yu felt that Yuxue's view on love was problematic.

"Isn't it just a mutual benefit between two people?" Yuxue's answer left Xia Yu unable to refute. Upon careful consideration, interest was the main theme of human activity, both material and emotional, and nothing could escape it.

No, has this girl's Buddhist talent awakened?

"This is not something children should worry about." Xia Yu wanted to end this topic.

"But I don't want you to bring home a woman I don't know." Yuxue grabbed Xia Yu's hand and said pitifully.

Xia Yu wanted to tell the girl that she would definitely know, but the results hadn't come out yet, and he didn't have the habit of boasting in advance.

He chose to change the subject again: "It's not necessary to find a girlfriend in college."

"But those who don't have girlfriends are losers, and they'll be laughed at, right?" Yuxue said something very surprising to Xia Yu.

Holding the girl's face, Xia Yu said, "Apologize to those single dogs!"

In his previous life, Xia Yu had been in a college of engineering and didn't have a girlfriend, so Yuxue had mocked him as well.

"It was Feifei who told me!" Realizing her mistake, Yuxue quickly passed the blame, "She also said that successful men should have several!"

"Stay away from her!" Xia Yu released Yuxue and said.

"So, big brother, are you going to continue being single in college?" The girl continued to ask.

Xia Yu had no way to answer; of course, being single was impossible.

"You see, after saying so much, you still have to find a girlfriend!" Yuxue puffed up her face.

"Don't worry, it will definitely be someone you know." Xia Yu vaguely promised.

Yuxue thought about the girls she knew who her brother could meet in college.

She wasn't aware that Xu Youxiang was planning to return to school for further studies, so she eliminated her first.

After such screening, only one person remained.

After being silent for a while, Yuxue patted Xia Yu's shoulder: "Come on, youth is all about experiencing hardships!"

Yuxue continued: "After bumping into many southern walls, one learns to choose the easier path."

I am, after all, a rare and talented young man in the world. At just eighteen, I have my own company, worth tens of millions, and have participated in world-class piano competitions, being hailed as the next leader of the Flower Sect and a key figure in the Guzheng community, right?

Wait until I start school, and let you see how amazing I am!

"Don't be discouraged, brother, you must be great."

Why are you starting to comfort me now?

Feeling the negativity in her own words, Yuxue gave Xia Yu a boost of encouragement.

But this encouragement feels like when a child says they want to be an astronaut, and parents and grandparents buy them astronaut-like snacks, it's not reliable at all.

"Come out for some refreshments!" Yan Wei's voice came from the living room.

The topic finally stopped, and Xia Yu and Yuxue went out to eat some refreshments.

In the evening, Yan Wei said goodbye and left, while Yan Li wanted to stay here to play games but was dragged away by Yan Wei.

Lying in bed for a while, Xia Yu wondered where to go today.

The situation at Xu Youxiang's place was basically stable. It was enough to visit once every two days, so he decided to visit someone else today.

After some consideration, Xia Yu chose Wen Ziying's column.

Yin Shulan's column had already been deleted, and Yin Shulan had returned to her hometown. However, Yin Ling stayed behind, living with her mother, Yin Wan, in An Siyao's villa.

It was thanks to the Feng sisters that Yin Ling was able to stay.

The two sisters tried to reason with Yin Shulan and even offered to arrange jobs for her sons, but Yin Shulan still refused. In the old woman's view, living a stable life at home was best; going to the big city only brought pain.

In the end, it was Yin Ling's tearful reluctance to leave her mother and the delicious snacks that softened Yin Shulan's heart.

Yin Ling tried to hold onto Yin Shulan and not let her leave, but Yin Shulan left resolutely.

The Feng sisters wanted to take Yin Ling to Zone 11, but they were not successful.

After confirming the exchange, Xia Yu entered Wen Ziying's body.

It was 8 PM. After the darkness in front of his eyes, what Xia Yu saw was the laptop screen. The familiar Word document interface reminded him of his past life when he used to write novels.

Wen Ziying was working on her new book.

"You're back! Let's go do some flying eaves and walking walls!" Wen Ziying said excitedly.

"I refuse." Xia Yu came into Wen Ziying's body to brush up on his proficiency in inspiration.

Inspiration played a huge role in the process of making potions and had a significant impact on the language composition during the college entrance examination. Previously, it was also thanks to inspiration that he had created the piano piece "The Origin of Isolation from the World."

It was an indispensable companion for research and creative work.

"How about we do something else? What else can you do?" Wen Ziying wanted to gain new and exciting experiences.

"What do you need so many experiences for?" Xia Yu asked the question again.

"As a writer, the things in my head are limited. Only by having new and exciting experiences can I maintain the peak of my creative ability," Wen Ziying said.

"You're already so successful, yet still working so hard, that's really rare." In his previous life, Xia Yu had seen a web novel author who, after making money from his book, indulged in games and women, couldn't even maintain daily updates, and finally collapsed his achievements.

After that author started a new book, his performance was even better than the previous one, but in the end, he still fell into a dead fish state, and his performance collapsed.

Compared to that, Wen Ziying could be considered a model author.

"Creating requires hard work, otherwise…" Wen Ziying stopped, not continuing her words.

From the girl, Xia Yu felt a mix of indescribable emotions – anger, sadness, fear, and various negative emotions intertwined together.

There was indeed something strange about this girl.

When he saw that the already well-known author, Wen Ziying, was still living in an old and rundown apartment, Xia Yu felt that something was off. Now, he was sure of it.

He didn't pry further and used ten experience cards to begin his level-up quest.
