89 Implementing the First Suggestion (2/2)

Yun Bei Fen understood this but he felt that it wasn't right.]

Su Yan nodded with satisfaction and read the rest of the scene. There wasn't anything he felt should be changed. In fact, even the next part where Mei Chao Bing reminisced about his master seemed good to him. The problem was the long flashback about how he noticed his master's betrayal.

Su Yan read the part twice but couldn't decide what to do. He felt that this was important to the story but it messed up the continuity of the storyline. Argh! What to do!

Su Yan looked around and finally took out his phone and opened WeChat. He started typing a message to Nie Chang. Just when he had reached the middle, he stopped though. What was he even doing? He couldn't always ask Nie Chang. He had always decided alone what to do with his stories. There was no need to consider Nie Chang's opinion on this. He probably didn't even read this kind of story.

Su Yan put his phone away with a sigh and stared at the screen a while longer. Keeping it? Deleting it? He found it great but the system had said to have a linear storyline and that sounded logical.

Su Yan grimaced, selected the text and decisively deleted it. Well, he did leave the first and the last paragraph. This wasn't exactly a flashback but more like Mei Chao Bing's thoughts, wasn't it? It should be allowed to keep it in.

He edited the remaining part a bit to make it fit with the rest of the text and then read the next scenes.

Before he knew it Su Yan had arrived at the end of the story. It seemed … there wasn't anything more he'd have to cut out? He blinked unbelievingly and scrolled through the text once more but nothing changed: He couldn't find anything that broke the continuous flow of the story.

So, did this mean he had already managed to implement the system's first suggestion? This was great!

Su Yan perked up. Mn, then for the second and third … He was supposed to describe more, so he'd need to add some things. He could exceed the limit of five-thousand words but he still felt like he shouldn't be too outrageous with this. Thus, the first thing he did was having the program count the words for him again.

The result left him speechless though: He had already exceeded the previous limit by around five-hundred words. Oh wow. How had this story already gotten so long even without all the twists and turns he had thought of? And he had even killed one of his favorite scenes …
