145 Not Planned Well Enough (1/2)

Su Yan once again thanked his lucky stars that he had such a great boyfriend when Nie Chang placed the notebook in front of him that he had forgotten at home. Su Yan leaned over and rewarded him with another kiss before hurriedly opening the document where he had started planning his story.

He read over his previous notes once before pondering the plot. He still only knew that Dou Fang Hai had to end up as Ziju An's disciple somehow so that they could fall in love.

But he couldn't just declare it a coincidence now, could he?

Mn … Dou Fang Hai would probably turn up on the day when all disciples would be taken in. They would have to take some test to make sure they were suitable to become cultivators. In that test, Ziju An had to somehow learn of him.

Maybe he was drawn in by some part of Dou Fang Hai's personality? But the protagonist was supposed to be a troublemaker. In that case, the explanation could only come from Ziju An's personality instead. Maybe he …

Su Yan pursed his lips. Ziju An was a quiet and refined person, a role model of a cultivator. Wouldn't he want to have a good student who could make him proud?

Ah! No! This wasn't true! Well, alright, it was true but it was wrong that he would need a highly talented person for that. As someone who reached the peak, he probably thought that he could even make someone with mediocre talent like Dou Fang Hai's into a splendid cultivator. So, maybe he would just casually pick one of the disciples or even decisively ignore those with higher talent to give a chance to someone who didn't have as high an aptitude?

That was it! Su Yan's eyes gleamed and he hurriedly typed the idea down. Ah, this was really great!

He leaned back and took a relieved sigh. This had really been the biggest problem in planning. The rest was quite easy. Dou Fang Hai would just undergo the typical xianxia tropes like being a representative at an assembly or taking part in an auction and encountering some arrogant young masters and everything. Naturally, his master would help him with everything. And while doing that they would slowly develop feelings.

Huh. Easy-peasy.

He read everything once again before copying it with a nod. Then he opened the system and copied his new notes into the window where the general information about the story, as well as the information on his two main characters, was already saved.

He rubbed his hands and finally clicked on the [submit]-button. The system started to calculate and a row of familiar messages rolled over his screen. Su Yan wasn't sure if he imagined it but it seemed that the first few messages came a lot faster than before.
