“They’re not in the same style, so they can’t be compared.” Yu Shu said, “It’s like romance and no-CP, no one would ever compare these two channels that aren’t on the same starting line.”

“Then I won’t compare Yuan Zi Jiu with no-CP authors. I’ll compare the plots of Xianxia & Xuanhuan authors with hers.” Yan Jin said, “One is modern romance, one is Xianxia & Xuanhuan, they’re both romance, so they can be compared, right?”

“Are you kidding?” Yu Shu said in disbelief, “The walls between modern romance and other channels are so thick, how can it be compared to the popular hell arena of Xianxia & Xuanhuan?”

Yan Jin: “But the few books Yuan Zi Jiu wrote after switching to Xianxia & Xuanhuan can’t compare to the plots written by other authors in that genre either.”

“You not liking it doesn’t mean other readers don’t like it.” Yu Shu argued reasonably, “After Yuan Zi Jiu switched to Xianxia & Xuanhuan, her first place on the Tyrant List, ‘Don’t Want to Talk,’ didn’t leave her either, and still fiercely threw deep-sea torpedoes like before. Wait…”

Thinking of the username of the first-place reader on the Tyrant List, Yu Shu was suddenly startled, “That ‘Don’t Want to Talk’ couldn’t be your reader account, could it?”

Yan Jin frankly admitted, “It’s me.”

“…Then you indeed have the right to say her plot isn’t good.” Yu Shu was a bit lacking in confidence, “After all, you threw at least 200,000 tyrant tickets at her.”

Yan Jin: “If I didn’t pay, how could I have the audacity to nitpick?”

Yu Shu said, “But you never said anything about the plot not being good in the comments section.”

“Because she’s not writing just for me.” Seeing Yu Shu looking puzzled, Yan Jin explained, “If it were a commissioned work I requested from her, then I could make all sorts of demands. But I didn’t pay for a commissioned work, so how could I have the nerve to require her to write completely according to my demands?”

[I take back what I said before. Yan Jin only complains in private and never gives writing instructions in the comments section, only silently throwing torpedoes. She’s the most beloved type of reader for authors!] [ I refuse to accept writing instructions, but she threw 200,000 at me.] [Compared to throwing torpedoes, I think the hacker reader who wrote 10,000 words for the author is more godly. After all, that’s 10,000 words, no author can refuse 10,000 words.]

Yu Shu had just felt touched for a second when he heard Yan Jin say regretfully, “Actually, I had already decided that when I threw 300,000 at her, I would request a commissioned work from her. At that time, I’d arrange a luxury suite for her, including three meals, late-night snacks, and fruit. She wouldn’t be allowed to leave the room until she finished writing.”

“…” Yu Shu immediately retracted his feeling of being touched and at the same time decided to tightly wrap his small vest, resolutely not letting it fall off, otherwise he would be caught by Yan Jin and locked up in a small dark room.

“Since you also know about Yuan Zi Jiu, you should also be a web novel enthusiast and should have the same dream as me.” Yan Jin looked at Yu Shu, “Providing a luxurious package for your beloved author, three meals a day, and then using a whip to urge her to write 30,000 words every day.”

Yu Shu: “…Hehe.”

He wasn’t that perverted.

[Speaking of… don’t you guys think Yu Shu’s attitude is a bit strange? Always feel like he’s paying too much attention to Yuan Zi Jiu.] [What’s strange about it? If it were me, hearing my favorite author being said to have a terrible plot, I would also argue with her reasonably.] [I’m a fan of both Yu Shu and Yuan Zi Jiu. I seem to have discovered something incredible. Yuan Zi Jiu previously mentioned that this pen name was because she was chubby when she was born, like a round ball. And the childhood photo Yu Shu shared before was also chubby.]

…

[So annoying, can the popular artists stop clout chasing? Isn’t the pure and clean image enough for you to fabricate? You have to drag my treasured author into it.]

Because when Yan Jin went out to buy things for the experiment in the morning, Yu Shu had already bought freshly made clean bedding and pillows with Xu Junde at a familiar shop, and hung them in the courtyard to air them out until they were fluffy and soft.

After making the ginger sugar, Yu Shu only then brought the pillows and bedding back to the room and made his own bed.

After waiting for a long time in the courtyard without seeing Yan Jin come out of the room, Yu Shu couldn’t help but go take a look. Seeing Yan Jin holding her waist and panting non-stop, with a layer of fine sweat on her forehead, “This quilt is too heavy.”

Yu Shu was both amused and annoyed. He went up to help Yan Jin put on the quilt cover while grumbling, “My good sister, there’s still me in the house. If you don’t have the strength, just call me, no need to struggle with the quilt alone. You were fussing for so long without coming out, I thought something had happened to you.”

So after the two finished eating the Bohua Gong and returned to their home in Anping Lane, they went straight to sleep.

Before going to bed, Yan Jin even specifically gave Yu Shu a heads-up, “You don’t need to wake me up tomorrow, because I might not wake up until late morning.”

Yu Shu reacted calmly with an “oh”, “Then I’ll keep my voice down when I practice singing.”

Seeing Yu Shu so calm, Yan Jin felt a bit uncomfortable, “You don’t have to wait for me to eat either, just buy and eat whatever you want first.”

“Since I’m going to buy breakfast anyway, I’ll bring a portion for you too.” Yu Shu asked Yan Jin, “What do you want to eat? Congee and pickles, soy milk and fried dough sticks, or wonton, or something else?”

“Soy milk and wonton.” Yan Jin emphasized, “Put more green onions in the wonton.”

Yu Shu made an “OK” gesture, and the two returned to their respective rooms to sleep.

After finishing his stretches, Yu Shu was about to go to bed when his gaze fell on the white sugar cake on the table. He sighed, broke off a small piece, and ate it very reluctantly.

[Host Yu Shu, if you can’t eat it, don’t force yourself.]

“Even if I can’t eat it, I have to.” Because Yan Jin wasn’t by his side now, Yu Shu could talk directly to the system, “You don’t know how rare and precious it is for someone with Yan Jin’s personality to think of bringing back something I like to eat. As for the taste…”

Yu Shu swallowed the white sugar cake with difficulty, “As long as it doesn’t kill anyone, I have to finish it all.”
