Chapter 218 - Chapter 218: Chapter 171 I Saw It in a Novel (5,000-Word Chapter)_2 (2/2)
“Chairman, that sister invited you to join the Archaeological Team, why didn’t you go?” Little Landlady asked with a twinkle in her eye and a smile.
“What would you do if I went and wasn’t home every day?” Lin Chuan ruffled Little Landlady’s hair as he countered.
“Hehe,” Little Landlady grinned and said, “But, Chairman, how do you know so much?”
Lin Chuan pondered for a moment before asking, “Little Landlady, I also want to ask, how do you know so much?”
“Huh?”
Little Landlady’s face froze in surprise, and then a blush crept over her face, “Chairman, I… I learned it all from study materials.”
“So did I!” Lin Chuan said, looking at her sincerely.
Little Landlady pouted, “Then carry me inside.”
“What for?” Lin Chuan blinked in puzzlement.
Little Landlady wrapped her arms around Lin Chuan’s neck, and her legs too mischievously wrapped around his waist as she clung to him and then whispered in his ear with a warm breath, “The rent is due.”
“Is this rent even legit?” Lin Chuan asked in a daze.
“There’s also utility fees,” Little Landlady murmured, smiling with pursed lips.
Lin Chuan scooped up Little Landlady in his arms and then walked into the living room, closed the balcony doors, and drew the curtains.
A prolonged battle ensued.
…
The next morning.
Lin Chuan got up from bed, thoroughly satisfied.
Little Landlady was exhausted to the point of collapse and hadn’t woken up yet.
Lin Chuan leaned against the balcony, feeling invigorated as he enjoyed the fresh breeze from the river, carrying the fresh scent of water and faint aroma of grass and trees and brushing against his face.
At that moment.
The sun had just risen, painting the sky with a faint brush of orange and red, while the river surface rippled gently, shimmering and sparkling as if countless shattered diamonds were dancing upon the water.
Occasionally, a few early-birds chirped merrily on the branches, their songs crisp and melodious.
Lin Chuan closed his eyes, quietly relishing everything.
After all, he had been through hundreds of rounds of an intense battle with Little Landlady last night, and today he switched straight into sage mode, beginning to ponder over life’s mysteries and the unsolved enigmas of the universe.
Of course.
Lin Chuan hadn’t really delved into any cosmic mysteries, so he was mainly reflecting on life.
He started to summarize his gains from the recent period.
The first volume of his newly released novel, “Touch Gold Notes,” had been well received by readers.
It’s just that there were quite a number of readers who wanted to send him blades.
Because Lin Chuan usually published his novels in full and never even missed a day of updates.
The reason behind this, of course, was his eagerness to meet the system’s requirements.
Readers had grown accustomed to reading Lin Chuan’s completed novels, and suddenly, with Lin Chuan publishing volume by volume, they became frantic.
Ahem, the initial impact was good, unaffected by Old Yao’s “Antique Wind Quest.”
