202 Sweet and Spicy (1/2)

Since they had already eaten before Nie Chang didn't cook again. Instead, he waited for Su Yan to decide whether they should go to sleep already or not.

”Well … It's not that late, right?”

”It's not.” Nie Chang shook his head with a smile.

Ah, just look at how hesitant his little darling was! You could practically see the thought 'I really want to look at the new task the system gave me but wouldn't my boyfriend expect me to spend time with him?' written on his face. He'd feel like a bad person if he didn't help him out of this plight!

”So …” Nie Chang pulled Su Yan into his arms and kissed his forehead. ”I could still do some work. Only if you don't mind, of course.”

Su Yan's eyes sparkled while his gaze flitted about. If Nie Chang wanted to work, then it shouldn't be a problem if he worked a bit too, right? ”Uh, well … If it's very important to you, then I guess it's alright. I'll just … sit next to you and read a novel or something.”

”Mn. Then I'll get my notebook.” Nie Chang gave him another kiss before he unhurriedly gathered his things.

Su Yan flopped down on the couch and took out his phone again. The explanation for the new taskline appeared again and he clicked for the next part.

[The bl genre is part of the larger romance genre. As such it shares certain variations. One of those is the degree of explicitness involved in telling the love story of the main characters.

You might want to write a sweet romance that stops with kissing and where everything further than that only happens behind closed doors where the readers will never find out. Or maybe you'd like to go for an especially spicy romance that doesn't leave out any opportunity for your characters to show their sex appeal and tumble in the sheets with each other instead? Naturally, everything between these two extremes will also be possible. It's your story, after all.]

Su Yan nodded. This wasn't so hard. Although … he couldn't imagine writing some sort of 'spicy romance'. Weren't the authors of these stories embarrassed? He couldn't even begin to imagine it. Well, he probably wouldn't have to do so anyway. Thus he read further.

[The stories you've written so far are judged to be sweet romances. The best way to get a taste of the other end of the spectrum is to read at least one story that could be classified as a spicy romance novel. While reading pay special attention to the execution of the hot scenes and the feelings they evoke.

Su Yan blinked and did as he was told. The button immediately redirected him to a novel from his library. Naturally, it was the dubious 'The Adventure of the Four Birds' he had started reading before.

Su Yan grimaced. The system couldn't be serious! He was supposed to read this dirty thing?! The whole novel? And he even had to pay special attention to … to that kind of scene?!

The system was obviously bullying him again!
