149 Sounds Logical (1/2)

Su Yan opened the text editor again only to realize that he still didn't know if there was a word limit for this story. He wanted to take a look at his phone again but hesitated.

Writing the story was part of the main task. Considering that the current part of the main task was interacting with his readers he didn't even know where to look for a word limit. So maybe … there wasn't one in the first place?

He turned to Nie Chang who had put the notebook to the repaired devices and picked up a smartphone instead. Uh, his boyfriend was obviously working right now. He had already disturbed him once … or twice … or was it three times?

Well, anyway, he had disturbed him already. He couldn't just tug at his sleeve again and expect him to help him out, right? If he did that, then Nie Chang would never finish his work. Then he definitely wouldn't continue to sit with him at the counter which would be quite a pity. He liked being so close to him.

Su Yan's thoughts were quite nice but he had already stared at Nie Chang for so long that it would have been a wonder if his boyfriend hadn't noticed.

Nie Chang turned around and was presented with a pensive-looking Su Yan, whose face immediately lit up when he faced him just to turn dark the next moment. One after another his face seemed to express the thoughts 'This question is really troubling me …', 'Great, now I can ask my question!' and 'Ugh, I shouldn't do this.'. It really was interesting to watch.

Nie Chang cleared his throat. ”Was there something you wanted?”

Su Yan's eyes widened and he hurriedly shook his head. ”No! No, why would you think so? I can see that you're working so I definitely wouldn't dare disturb you!” His dark expression shifted into one of guilt that clearly said that he had wanted to do exactly that in the beginning.

”Oh … Well, I was just thinking that I might need some other tool for this.”

”So you want to take a break?” Su Yan perked up and his eyes started to sparkle. ”How about we take a break together? There are hardly any customers this early in the morning.”

”Sounds good. So, how did things go for you?” Nie Chang motioned at the notebook without any intention to stand up. Naturally, he didn't really need anything else. He already had everything there that he needed.

Su Yan pursed his lips. ”Well … It wasn't bad, it's just … the system didn't tell me everything. You know that it gave me a word limit of five-thousand words for the first story? This time, it didn't tell me anything! I'm supposed to plan a story without knowing how long it can be!”

”Was there really no information at all?”

Su Yan nodded vigorously. ”Yes! Isn't that mean? What if I plan an ultra long story and then it tells me that I'm only supposed to write five-thousand words again?!”
