109 The Child Still Needs a Name (1/2)

”All set.” Nie Chang pushed the notebook back to Su Yan and slid to the side.

”Thank you!” Su Yan really wanted to give him a kiss as a reward but he didn't dare to after what had happened just now so he settled for a bright smile.

Nie Chang tussled his hair in response and watched as Su Yan pulled the notebook closer.

Naturally, Su Yan didn't want to wait any longer. He clicked on the button to create a new novel and wriggled his fingers. Ah, he would really do it now! His first new story after all these months and even one in a different genre. He really was excited to see what the readers would think. Would there be some people among them who had read his fanfictions, too?

He wanted to fill out the form to set up his novel but instantly paused.

Shit!

He had written the story since the Lovely Writing System wanted him to but had never thought about anything else. What the fuck should he call his short story?!

He instinctively turned around to Nie Chang and scrunched up his face. ”Ah Chang! It's bullying me again! The system never reminded me that I'd need a title!”

Nie Chang gave a cough. You've written so many stories already but you couldn't remember that on your own? ”Darling, I have full confidence in your ability to come up with the most brilliant title.”

Su Yan pursed his lips. So he couldn't expect any help with that. He gave a sigh and started to ponder. All of his fanfictions had gotten a title that was tied to the protagonist. Finding such a title was easy.

What was the profession of the protagonist? Was he a cultivator, a mage or an alchemist? That should definitely be mentioned in the title! And maybe the protagonist had a special heritage? Like he could be a demon or a god or maybe someone who transmigrated from another world. That should be part of the title, too.

Last but not least there should be an attribute to tell the readers a bit more about what kind of protagonist they could expect and, well, make the novel seem more awesome. In fact, the attribute was really important. The weightier it sounded the better the novel would seem.

Most people would rather click on 'Supreme Demonic Cultivator' than on something that was just titled 'Demonic Cultivator'. It just sounded that much more fun.

But what should he do about this short story? The protagonist was Yun Bei Fen who also was a cultivator. He even happened to be the favorite disciple of an Elder of his sect but that wouldn't work for a title, would it? Especially since it would somehow have to reflect that this was a romantic story. 'Cutest Favorite Disciple' certainly wasn't something anyone would pick up.

Or was it? Su Yan pursed his lips and considered the title for a moment. This wasn't a xianxia story but a bl story. He couldn't forget that. People probably read something like that only for the romance. So maybe that name was actually alright?

He turned to face Nie Chang again. Mn, he had already said he had read some books of that genre so he should know if the title was alright or not.

Nie Chang raised his brows. ”Yes?”

”Do you think 'Cutest Favorite Disciple' is a good title for a bl story?”

Nie Chang took the empty dishes and carried them over to the dishwasher while contemplating his answer. He hadn't read Su Yan's story yet but since he had talked about it every now and then he had a vague impression of what the story was about.

”Well, I think it's alright if it's a story about two people who are in a Master-Disciple relationship.”

”Huh?” Su Yan frowned.
