Modu, as dusk fell.

The last traces of the sunset’s afterglow quietly faded away with the rising city lights and the flickering neon signs.

A gentle breeze blew through the streets, swaying the plane trees on both sides, rustling their leaves, bringing with it the moist air from the riverbank, mixed with the faint scent of gardenia, brushing against Lin Chuan’s face.

Lin Chuan, new to Modu, received an enthusiastic welcome from Youyou, the “host,” to this “fierce general.”

From the airport to the police station, then to the hotel.

Throughout the journey, not to mention her company, Youyou now took Lin Chuan to a traditional restaurant called ‘Moon Full Over West Tower.’

“Youyou, you’ve worked hard.”

Lin Chuan was moved.

Even a scene from a struggling author’s fantasy would be like this.

Youyou sat in the restaurant, which was adorned with simple and elegant decorations, in a flat-shoulder, flower-patterned short dress, looking like a graceful female lead stepping out of an ink painting with the soft sound of a guzheng playing in the background.

She smiled and said, “How could I not be diligent when you’re coming from so far?”

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, “It’s not rare. If you greet me like this every time, I’d have to come more often.”

“Not only should you come more, but it would be best if you could settle here.”

Youyou blinked and took the opportunity to say.

“You really dare to think big,” Lin Chuan chuckled.

“If you were to settle down in Modu, I could supervise your writing every day.” The dim lighting in the restaurant shone on Youyou, who was smiling beautifully, bright and radiant.

“So that’s your scheme!”

Lin Chuan laughed heartily.

The guzheng in the restaurant played softly, like a mountain spring rippling, its sound echoing in their ears.

Shortly after, a Mediterranean man in his forties, wearing a black suit and a smile, walked into the private room. As soon as he saw Lin Chuan, he greeted him warmly.

“Is this the famous Mr. Lin?”

Lin Chuan stood up to greet him, saying, “Chief Editor Zhang, I’ve long admired your name.”

“It is I who should say I’ve long admired your name, as I often see you topping the trending search charts,” Zhang Yixing said with a hearty laugh.

Youyou smiled at the side, “It seems you two know each other, no need for me to introduce.”

Laughter immediately filled the small private room.

The chief editor, section editor, and the author exchanged pleasantries and quickly became well-acquainted.

At that moment,

before the waiter served the dishes, Youyou took out a brocade box and placed it in front of Zhang Yixing, “Chief Editor, this is an art piece Lin Chuan brought for you.”

The chief editor’s eyebrows raised as he looked at Youyou and Lin Chuan with curiosity and asked, “Is this the ‘Qing Kangxi Five-colored Fish and Algae Pattern Douli Bowl’ that Author Lin made himself?”
