103 It’s the Little Gestures That Coun (2/2)
”I am. Especially since there only seem to be two crows.” He grinned. ”Anyway, the reason we talked about that was that question of yours. How did you come up with that? Does it have anything to do with your new story?”
”Mn.” Su Yan pursed his lips. ”The system made three suggestions on how I could improve it. I already managed to finish the first two but I have no idea how to implement the third one.”
”And that was to have a romantic gesture?”
Su Yan leaned back and sighed. ”Yeah. Well, it didn't really say romantic gesture but it's supposed to be a love story, isn't it? And the suggestion was to show their feelings through interactions.”
”So what's the story about?”
”Cultivation? And some misunderstanding?”
”So the main couple doesn't like each other at first?” Nie Chang put down his bowl and watched Su Yan. Somehow he had stopped eating along the way and knowing him he would only remember his food when he had finished explaining everything.
”That's not really it. They do like each other but they don't know each other much and then there's that misunderstanding that drives them even further apart. In the end, they manage to make up and get together.”
”Then how about just changing the number of interactions they have?”
”Huh?”
”I mean they don't know each other at first that implies that they don't have much to do with each other. And then it gets even worse. But after that they grow closer together so they're interacting more with the other one, right? So maybe it'll be enough if you just write some little interactions. It doesn't really have to be romantic since just interacting will show how they grow closer.”
Su Yan pursed his lips. What Nie Chang said sounded good but … it was a short story. Did he have enough space to do this? Then again …
Su Yan's eyes lit up and he lunged himself at Nie Chang, kissing his cheek. ”You're the best! Thanks for the food! I'm off to write!”
”Ah …” Nie Chang wanted to say something but Su Yan had already grabbed his notebook and ran into the kitchen. Nie Chang sighed. ”Well, I guess I'll just heat it up for you when you've finished.”
Ah, being a responsible boyfriend really wasn't easy.
