163 Publishing Another Story

[Do you want to leave a message for your readers?]

Su Yan leaned back and sighed in satisfaction. Ah, this was so great! Starting as a BL author had really been so much easier than back then when he started with writing fanfictions. Was it because he was more experienced now or because of the system?

Su Yan turned to Nie Chang and grabbed his arm just when Nie Chang wanted to get back to work. "Ah Chang!"

Nie Chang stopped moving and looked at him. "What? Did something happen?"

"I published the story!"

"Oh … Then … Congratulations?" He smiled, leaned over and kissed Su Yan's brow. "You did really well!"

He was sure to have said the right thing but it seemed he still didn't know his boyfriend good enough. Su Yan slapped his arm with an angry expression.

"You're not taking me seriously! I'm really worried here."

Nie Chang cleared his throat. "I'm sorry. I should have picked up on that. So what's the problem?"

"The story is!" Su Yan pointed at the screen with a scrunched up face. He didn't explain what exactly the problem was though.

"Why would you say so? You've written quite a bit already, right? And didn't you like it before? You seemed very satisfied earlier."

"That was before! But now …"

"Don't you think you're thinking too much? Your readers will probably love it."

"But the protagonist is a child right now and it's supposed to be romance."

"Oh. Well, actually, there are quite a few BL novels out there where the protagonist is a child at first. You just have to make sure that it stays interesting and that people will be able to get a glimpse of what's to come. Wouldn't that be alright?"

Su Yan pursed his lips. That sounded indeed right … "Are you sure?"

"But of course!" Nie Chang bent forward and gave his little darling another kiss. "Don't you worry about it. They'll love it! Eh, why don't you write the next part and then have a look? The readers following you should be notified about your new story, shouldn't they? They'll probably go and read it immediately and you'll have the first comments in just a few minutes."

"That could be …"

"See? So, don't worry until then. Ah, come to think of it, it's already quite late. How about I call for take-out? What would you like to eat?"

Su Yan looked at him especially pitifully. How could Nie Chang ask what he wanted to eat right now? He was way too nervous to even think about eating!

"Alright, I'll just call for something. When it gets here you'll already know what your readers think." He gave Su Yan another kiss before getting up and going to the back room to ask what Old Lao and Gong Gong wanted.

Just when he worried over what to do a young man carried some computer parts over he wanted to buy. Su Yan really wanted to heave a sigh of relief but he managed to suppress it in time. Ah, he was a serious employee of his boyfriend! He couldn't let him down when he had to do his job!

With a very earnest attitude, he settled the bill with the customer and wished him a good day. Then, he went back to worrying about his story and what the readers might say about it. He probably could have taken a look already to check if someone had managed to comment yet but he didn't dare.

Thus, he really did what Nie Chang had proposed and opened his document to continue writing. Mn, the meeting between Ziju An and Dou Fang Hai's parents would probably be quite funny. That was exactly the right thing to divert his attention! He left their way to Dou Fang Hai's house out and just continued from the moment where they went inside:

[Dou Fang Hai let go of Ziju An's hand and hurried toward the inner rooms of the house. "Daddy! I found a pretty sister to marry! Come and have a look at her!"

His father only snorted. "What do you mean? Pretty sister? Marry? Didn't I tell you yesterday already? You're at least ten years too early for that! How old is that brat?"

"She's really old already but she's pretty. I'm sure she'll stay pretty."

"Ah? Really old?"

"Mn!" Dou Fang Hai nodded earnestly. "Come and have a look! You have to tell me if she's suitable to be my bride."

"Oh. Alright." His father let him pull him to the front hall but instantly froze when he saw the white-haired person in the equally white robe standing there.

Ziju An smiled. "Sorry to intrude!"

Mister Dou was utterly floored. Wasn't this a cultivator from the Jin Shan Sect?! What in heaven's name was his son saying he had found a pretty sister to marry?!]
