Chapter 5 - Story 17-18 (2/2)
Xu was finally persuaded by such words. He was now in no mood to write and playing out might be a good choice.
“Fine.”

Meanwhile the other side of the city…
On the computer screen was the chatting between Tang Yanzhi and Tingting.
Tingting: The two guys have put me in a rage!!! What are they?
Tangtang: The comments are gone.
Tingting: What?
Tangtang: Refresh your page and you will find that the two guys’ and our comments are all gone.
Tingting: My goodness!!! It is true!!! What happened?
Tangtang: Shortie might have asked the backend editor to delete all the comments.
Tingting: Why?
Tangtang: If you make a piece of cake with all your time and energy, what will you do after it is spoiled by someone?
Tingting: I will kill that person!!
Tangtang: Talk about something realistic.
Tingting: I will be quite angry and sad…
Tangtang: Anger and sadness are common feelings, and they cannot change the fact that the cake has already been spoiled.
Tingting: What should be done then?
Tangtang: The best way is to remove the spoiled part.
Tingting: (Crying.jpg)Those guys! You could exit as soon as you found the story uninteresting. Why did you make such a negative comment to displease us? Were you trying to bully our lovely baby Shortie?(Sobbing.jpg)
Tangtang: (Petting you on the head.jpg) Now, some readers are just like this. They are difficult to please. As long as they don’t like the story, they will stereotype the writer as immoral. As for sad stories, a decreasing number of writers are writing campy stories following the old style. They are afraid that they will be criticized by such readers and that their explanation will do little to change the stereotype… The nice writers will always be treated badly.
Tingting: Stop… I am crying aloud. I no longer want Shortie to become a popular writer. He can just write his stories and broadcast his games free of worries. Even before he gains popularity, there appears so much criticism. Then he is likely to invite much more criticism after becoming a popular writer. I shall stop promoting his stories on Weibo. I need to hide him!
Tang Yanzhi kept on looking at Tingting’s reply for long. Then he smiled and entered the writer’s page on the X website.
New story. Title: You Deserve Someone Better. Tags: bad ending and description… Tang used his long fingers to click here and there, and then closed the page contentedly.
The description column had just 3 characters: As you please.
“Boss! Time to go for the activity!” The boy with a baby face walked out of the washroom, his rosy lips and white teeth standing out more clearly against the red scarf around his neck. Tang took the black trench coat from the chair and put it on. His roommate stuck out a thumb and praised: “How handsome you are! No one is as attractive as you in the A university!”
Tang patted on his roommate’s head and said：“No more talk. Let’s go.”
“Boss… How many girls do you plan to meet tonight?”
“To meet girls? I have no such plan.”
“There are a great many beautiful girls in the Management Department. You cannot miss the chance!”
“Are we going to the vegetable market?”
“You will not say such words after reaching the site. What type of girls do you like? I can help you find one! ”
“What type do I like?” Tang smiled mischievously. “The one I like must be talented, yet plays games badly, and fly into a rage from time to time. Can you find the one?”
“Um…” The roommate took Tang’s words seriously. “Playing games badly… This kind of girls are easy to find. But being talented… How can I tell one is talented?”
“I’m counting on you,” Tang moved forward. “It is you that have offered to find me one.”
“You can rest assured!” The roommate walked quickly to catch up with Tang. “I will do my best!”
