Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Beautiful Female Reporter

  December 2nd, Saturday. Lu Li got up early in the morning and went for a run and practiced singing as usual, which had become his basic daily routine.

  After finishing all that, it was almost 8 o'clock. Lu Li had some breakfast and then prepared to go to Fallen Street for the performance class training. However, on the way there, Lu Li received a strange phone call.

  "Hello, is this Mr. Lu Li?" As soon as the call was connected, Lu Li heard a clear and pleasant female voice coming from the phone.

  He was taken aback for a moment, but still replied: "Uh, yes, who are you?"

  "Oh, I'm special correspondent Xiao Ruonan, representing YY to conduct a 'Face-to-Face with the Author' interview with you. I wonder where Lu Li is right now? The interview is scheduled to start at 2 pm this afternoon." Upon hearing Lu Li's question, the other party quickly responded.

  Lu Li only then realized that the caller was a reporter who wanted to interview her. She said, "Do you know the way to Hua Xia Music Academy? Okay, let's meet at the 'Gathering Friends' coffee shop outside the school. See you later."

  After making an appointment with Xiao Ruonan to meet at a location and asking the other party to call when they arrive, Lu Li hung up the phone and headed towards the "Future Star" performance training class.

  It was almost 12 noon when Lu Li quietly slipped away from the back, because he had received several calls from Xiao Ruonan in a row, and it seemed that the other party had already come this way.

  As soon as he walked out of the training class, his phone started vibrating again, and Lu Li hurriedly answered it.

  "Ludai is here, I've already arrived at the entrance of Luodao Street." As soon as the phone connected, Ludai heard a pleasant voice.

  "Alright, you wait for a moment, I'll come pick you up, it'll be quick." Lu Li hung up the phone and headed towards the street entrance.

  When Lu Li walked to the entrance of the street, he looked around in dismay. Because it was a weekend, there were many students coming and going, and Lu Li really didn't see anyone who looked like a reporter.

  Just as Lu Li was looking around, a girl wearing a short pink woolen dress walked towards him.

  "Lu Li, I'm here." Hearing the voice that he had already heard twice on the phone, Lu Li turned around and saw a 23 or 24-year-old innocent-looking girl blinking her big eyes curiously at him.

  She took a glance at the other person, who was wearing a short pink woolen coat, black leggings with cowboy shorts, and had a very small backpack on her back.

  Huajing is a northern city in Huaxia, and by December the weather has already become quite cool. Although there is heating indoors, it's still necessary to wear thick clothing when going out. Xiao Ruonan's outfit was both warm and showed off her good figure very well.

  When she saw Lu Li, Xiao Ruonan stretched out her white hands and said: "Hello Lu Li, I am Xiao Ruonan." After that, she also sized up the not-so-handsome but uniquely charming Lu Li.

  Lu Li came back to his senses upon hearing the voice and stretched out his hand to shake with Xiao Ruonan, saying: "Ah, Reporter Xiao, I'm Lu Li."

  Lu Di didn't expect the reporter who came to interview him would be so young and a beautiful woman.

  "Hehe, although I've seen Lu Li from videos before, I didn't expect him to be so young. I really didn't think that the author of 'The Archery' was a freshman." Xiao Ruonan said calmly after they exchanged greetings.

  Lu Li was praised by a beautiful woman who looked about the same age as his current body, and he felt a bit embarrassed, rubbing his nose and smiling: "I didn't expect Xiao Reporter to be so young." After saying this, Lu Li suddenly realized it was mealtime, and said: "Right, you haven't eaten yet, let's go eat something first."

  "Great, now we can make a big profit." Xiao Ruonan said happily, without being polite at all.

  But Lu Li liked this kind of personality, and upon hearing this, he smiled and led the way to a small restaurant on Wangchao Street where he usually went to eat with his dorm mates.

  There was a beautiful woman present, so Lü Di naturally handed the menu over to her.

  Although Xiao Ruonan shouted that she wanted to slaughter Lu Li for a meal on the way, and specifically asked for expensive dishes, when it came time to order, she still chose some cheap and delicious dishes.

  The two of them chatted while eating, and by the time they finished their meal, it was almost two o'clock.

  "It's getting late, time is almost up, let's go to the coffee shop, this place isn't suitable for an interview." After finishing eating, Xiao Ruonan looked at her watch and said.

  "Let's go to 'Juyou' coffee shop then, it's quieter." Lu Li agreed.

  After the two arrived at the coffee shop, they ordered two cups of coffee. It wasn't until then that Lu Li saw Xiao Ruonan open her backpack and pull out a very small computer, similar to but not quite a tablet.

  "Alright, Lu Li Da, let's get started." Xiao Ruonan said to Lu Li as she opened her computer and connected to the internet.

  "Alright." Lu Li naturally had no objections.

  "Hello everyone, I'm your host Ruonan. Today's guest on 'Face to Face with Writers' is our newest addition, Wang Lülei."

  Lu Li only saw Xiao Ruo Nan upload a photo she had prepared long ago, and then her hands quickly tapped on the keyboard. The words appeared rapidly on the computer screen, without a single error. This speed made Lu Li feel ashamed.

  And the text is live broadcast simultaneously, so many readers who are watching this column in front of their computers at this moment can see it.

  "While Lu Li's work "Shooting" also achieved the championship of the monthly ticket chart in the first month it was put on shelves, and can be said to have sealed its place as a classic. The new king is indeed worthy of his name. In fact, many people don't know that Lu Li has another work called "Fantasy City" on YY, which is also an excellent work with a style that Rou Nuan likes. I recommend it to girls who can take a look. Now we have invited Lu Li."

  After finishing typing these words, Xiao Ruonan finally said to Lu Li: "Just give a shout-out to book friends, say what you want to say directly, and I'll type it out."

  Lu Li heard what Xiao Ruonan said and knew that the whole interview would be in this format, so he said: "Hello everyone, I'm Lu Li, thank you for your support."

  "Uh, Lu Li, regarding your identity issue, everyone is very concerned. Please introduce yourself to everyone first." Xiao Ruonan asked while quickly typing the question on her computer.

  Lu Li was truly impressed by the situation. Was this Zhou Bo Tong's arrival? One heart and two uses were also possible? Moreover, the typing speed did not decrease at all.

  "Oh, I believe everyone has seen the video. The Lu Lu in the video is indeed me." Lu Li simply replied to this question.

  "That's Lu Xun, many people are curious how such a young college student could write 'The True Story of Ah Q'?"

  "Uh, actually I'm a liberal arts student, and I especially love literature, particularly ancient literature. I've read many classical books, and then thought it would be great to combine my favorite martial arts stories with classical language. But considering that using all classical language might make it hard for many people to understand, I started writing in half-classical, half-vernacular style." Lu Li naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he started talking nonsense, wondering if anyone would actually come to verify his claims.

  "Wow, regarding your winning the monthly ticket chart champion, many people say you cheated to get there. What do you think about this?" Xiao Ruonan asked while typing, and this was already the last question with only half an hour left for interaction with online friends.

  "Uh, actually I've thought about my family situation, everyone knows that I haven't been paid yet. Let's not talk about whether it's worth spending 10 million to brush up a champion or not, at least I don't have that much money." After a pause, Lu Li continued: "By the way, here I want to say something to my book friends, Lu Li is very grateful for everyone's support, but regarding rewards, Lu Li does not encourage it. I think if you have the conditions, it's okay to show your appreciation in a proper way, being able to support subscriptions is enough. For future monthly ticket rankings, although we need to compete, please don't go crazy like this again, Lu Li feels especially uneasy about it."

  Xiao Ruonan, who was typing with her head down, looked up at Lu Li after hearing this, but still typed according to what Lu Li said.

  "Alright, the remaining time is for our lucky readers' Q&A session."

  "Uh, the first to get the questioning qualification is really many fish, this netizen's question is Lu Li Da you previously said that you want to explode a piece of news about 'The Archer', now that the championship is in hand, can you say it?"

  "I see, I've finally remembered this matter. To be honest, I had forgotten about it due to a series of events over the past two days. I'd like to apologize to all book friends for my mistake earlier. As some friends have asked, I'll provide an answer here and also open a special chapter later to explain. Actually, 'The Archer' is a trilogy, meaning that after its conclusion, there will be two more volumes with content just as exciting as the first one. Additionally, the extra updates I promised earlier are still valid."

  "Does Lu Li have a girlfriend?" Half an hour later, Lu Li answered many questions from book friends, among which many were gossip questions, but Lu Li cleverly responded to them.

  Seeing this question, Lu Li found that Xiao Ruonan was also curiously staring at himself. Lu Li was about to not answer this question, but suddenly his heart moved and he mischievously replied: "Guess."

  Xiao Ruonan never thought that Lu Li would answer like this, and conditioned reflexively typed out the two words, by the time she reacted, it had already been posted, and "Face to Face with Authors" had just ended.

  Seeing Xiao Ruonan's stunned expression, Lu Li smiled: "How about it, isn't this answer wonderful?"

  Upon hearing Lu Li's words, Xiao Ruonan made a bitter face and said: "What's so great about it? I didn't expect that Lu Li would have such a side. But, does Big Brother really have a girlfriend or not?"

  When Xiao Ruonan asked again, Lu Li said helplessly: "Why are you all so gossipy?" However, he still didn't answer the question.

  Xiao Ruonan didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, after all, the two of them weren't very familiar with each other at present. After chatting for a few sentences, they left here. Lu Li naturally wandered back to her dormitory as well.

  PS: Thanks for the rewards from Jing Sanjun, Huang He and Wu Xi. There will be another update at 8 pm tonight, unfortunately, the score is not very satisfactory
