Studying Is Such A Damn Thing - Chapter 20
Qi Yuan didn’t care about any of that. He flipped on the computer and immediately started gaming.
You Cheche leaned in curiously toward Qi Yuan. “What game are you playing?”
“PUBG.”
“Oh…” Seeing it wasn’t a genre he could handle, You Cheche gave up decisively and turned on his own machine.
“Hey, Brother Yuan, what if I started writing a novel in my free time?” You Cheche asked, looking excited.
“Why would you want to do that?” Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow, clearly puzzled.
“Look, my grades are terrible right now, and there’s no guarantee I’ll get into college. I might as well try writing on a platform to build a following. That way, I can actually earn some money, right? What do you think?”
Qi Yuan analyzed this seriously for a moment before nodding. “I think it could work. Good luck, Cheche. I believe in you!”
You Cheche chuckled. He registered an author account on a certain “green” novel app and spent all of five minutes coming up with an outline.
It wasn’t that Cheche was a genius, but rather because he was writing about the story of Shen Yiyi and Song Chaolian, so he didn’t need to do much brainstorming.
After that, he posted the synopsis.
Then, he switched over to the school forum.
Pulling and Tugging V: Sigh, life isn’t easy, so Cheche is selling his “talents.” Sisters, please support me! I’m willing to marry all of you!
Bunny Doesn’t Eat Sugar: First!!!! Hahaha! Cheche has finally been broken by the weight of his studies! Hahaha.
Yong: I have to support this!!! Cheche, I love you!!!
Short-Haired Yu Xiatian: Wow, followed!!! Cheche, notice me!!!
Xinghe: The blurb for Cheche’s new story… why does it look so much like… SYY and SZL?
PT Ponytail Tomboy: Exactly! Thanks for pointing it out, sis!!! I never thought I’d see the day where the real-life groomsman for the “LianYi” ship writes a fanfic for them!!!
384BJ: Ahhh!!! Yes, yes, yes!
Aaaaa Cheche is so Sweet: Ahhh, Cheche, I’m your die-hard fan!!!!
Before long, the post hit over a thousand replies. You Cheche checked his phone and was stunned to find his author account already had over a hundred followers.
Looking back at the forum post, it had surpassed a thousand comments.
You Cheche was speechless. So, this is what it feels like to be popular? This feels great!!!!
He then buried himself in his work, trying even harder to save up some draft chapters.
On the other side, Qi Yuan was in the middle of a game. “Ahhh! Hit him, hit him, hit him!”
“Someone’s on the mountain!!! Someone’s on the mountain!!!!”
“Don’t go over there!! Ahhh!! How does your brain even work!!! I’m speaking Chinese to you, can you not understand? Are you a foreigner!!!? Or are you not even human?!!!! Shoot him!!! Are you a kid?!!! Do I have to teach you everything?!!!”
His temper flared as he gradually hit his breaking point.
Once the round ended, he slammed the mouse down in frustration, picked up a fork to slurp some instant noodles, and sighed, “So good!”
Then he went back to eating heartily.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Qi Yuan stood up, walked to the entrance of the internet cafe, and lit a cigarette. “Hello? What’s up?”
“Nothing much. Have you seen the school forum? Your ‘wife’ is writing a BL novel! You still have a chance!”
“What ‘wife’? And what ‘chance’? Why don’t you take that chance yourself?” Qi Yuan joked back with a curse.
But thinking about You Cheche’s personality and face… he really did suit being a little wife.
The person on the phone suddenly turned serious. “Oh right, Brother Qi, do you remember Lin Ruinuo? Tan Qing’s ex-boyfriend? A few days ago, he…”
“What about him?”
“He’s got his eyes on You Cheche. Word is he’s planning something bad. Since You Cheche is a Beta, it’s not considered a major crime.”
“Didn’t he say they broke up because he felt insecure? How did You Cheche get involved?”
“They didn’t break up on good terms. It seems Lin Ruinuo was always verbally abusing Tan Qing and even hitting him from time to time!”
Qi Yuan’s eyes widened. The irritation and anger in his heart couldn’t be suppressed. He was panicked; he was worried about You Cheche.
