171 Slightly Off-Topic (1/2)

Su Yan silently nodded to himself, feeling more than satisfied with what he had written until now. This definitely showed a lot about his protagonist and the world he lived in and there definitely were lots of hints about the future developments in there! In fact, it was probably an understatement to call them hints. Wasn't this directly insinuating what would happen in future chapters?

And he hadn't just implemented the system's suggestions but also started to do what the readers had wanted. Well, alright, there wasn't a sword fight just yet but Dou Fang Hai and Jin Bao Fu were already butting heads. It was just a question of time when the first sword fight would happen.

Mn, as soon as Dou Fang Hai learned from Ziju An how to wield a sword he'd find an opportunity to incite a fight between him and Jin Bao Fu again. It shouldn't be that difficult to do that considering how angry and humiliated Jin Bao Fu would be after losing this first competition.

In a happy mood, Su Yan went back to write this so-called competition. Naturally, Dou Fang Hai would be the one to win. After all, while the prince had learned martial arts and gotten exposure to weapons from an early age Dou Fang Hai had lived as a normal child in the city. Most of his days had been spent playing with other children. Throwing stones and scoring a hit definitely wasn't difficult for him.

Just when Su Yan had detailed how the boys made their first two attempts someone knocked on the table next to him. Su Yan winced and looked up only to find his boyfriend standing there smiling with a bag of food in his hand.

”May I take a bit of your time or is it bad right now?”

”Eh, the food arrived already? Didn't I just write a few minutes?”

”Darling, there was some problem with the order. It's nearly been an hour.” Nie Chang put the bag down and started to unpack. ”So, how did it go? Did you look at the comments already?”

Su Yan stared at him, his face blank.

”What? Were the comments not good?” Nie Chang stopped with what he was doing and stepped closer to Su Yan. ”Don't worry about it. Whoever said something bad about your story just doesn't have good taste!” He ruffled Su Yan's hair and wanted to go in for a hug when Su Yan finally moved again.

”That's not it! I … I forgot.” He tightened his lips and averted his eyes.

”You … You mean you forgot to look at your comments?”

Su Yan nodded hurriedly.

”That …” Nie Chang sighed and patted Su Yan's head. What was he even supposed to say to that? ”Do you want to look now or wait until after you've eaten?”

Su Yan looked from Nie Chang to the food and finally to his notebook. Thinking of the comments he might have gotten he suddenly didn't feel like eating at all …

Nie Chang sighed when he saw his boyfriend's expression. ”Alright, go look at your comments first. I'll bring the food for Old Lao and Gong Gong to the back.”
