Chapter 218: Chapter 171 I Saw It in a Novel (5,000-Word Chapter)_2
"The news sure has spread wide," Lin Chuan chuckled at the other end of the internet connection.
"Of course, I told the captain everything truthfully, and he can't stop singing your praises! /thumbs_up.jpg" Qin Sisi replied.
"Your captain has great taste! /thumbs_up.jpg" Lin Chuan jokingly responded.
Qin Sisi snickered and immediately replied, "He does have great taste, he even wants to recruit you as the captain of the Archaeological Team."
"That doesn't seem appropriate, becoming a captain as soon as I join would be too flashy."
"He said he would be your deputy."
"That won't do, that won't do."
"Are you interested?" Qin Sisi asked again.
In fact, she really hoped Lin Chuan would join the Archaeological Team; his capabilities alone were already surpassing many.
At the other end of the internet.
Lin Chuan and Little Landlady were lying on the big balcony at home, relaxing on a rocking chair and enjoying the evening breeze while overlooking the Anling River outside Linjiang Mansion, which glittered with specks of silver light, like a brilliant starry galaxy.
The cool evening breeze passed by, bringing comfort.
Lin Chuan glanced at the message sent by Qin Sisi, then turned to look at Little Landlady beside him.
Little Landlady was wearing a purple gauzy nightgown, and her delicate and fair little face was close to his, "Chairman, have a grape."
Lin Chuan opened his mouth, and a grape entered.
Blissful.
Thus, Lin Chuan replied without hesitation, "The Archaeological Team is constantly on the move, traversing hills and rivers, exposed to wind and sun; it's not quite suitable for me. I prefer staying at home and writing."
"What a pity," Qin Sisi's eyes flashed with a touch of disappointment.
"If you encounter any difficulties, I might try solving them remotely," Lin Chuan added.
"Great, I am going on an archaeological mission the day after tomorrow, and I'll consult you if I face any problems," Qin Sisi's serene and gentle face lit up with a smile.
"No problem, I can't just stand by when a loyal fan is in trouble," Lin Chuan replied with a smile.
"No wonder Qianqian always tells me to subscribe fully to you, loyal fans with full subscriptions get this kind of treatment," Qin Sisi joked.
"Naturally, sincerity for sincerity," Lin Chuan replied.
"Then I'll set up an automatic subscription, and the second your next volume comes out, I'll be the first to subscribe! /smug.jpg" Qin Sisi's eyes shimmered brightly as she laughed and replied.
"Automatic subscription. /awesome.jpg"
"I won't chat anymore, I'm going for a second reading of 'Touch Gold Notes.' /bye.jpg"
Qin Sisi ended the chat and went for a second reading of the first volume of "Touch Gold Notes."
In the past, she did not understand why her dorm mates would re-read some romance novels two or three times.
Could there be something new each time?
Now she understood that when encountering a novel that pierced the heart, one truly wants to etch its details into the heart so they wouldn't be eroded by time.
So good!
An evening breeze wafted through Linjiang Mansion in Anling City, and on the thirtieth floor of a large apartment, Lin Chuan, wearing loose pajamas, reveled in the coolness of the night.
"Chairman, that sister invited you to join the Archaeological Team, why didn't you go?" Little Landlady asked with a twinkle in her eye and a smile.
"What would you do if I went and wasn't home every day?" Lin Chuan ruffled Little Landlady's hair as he countered.
"Hehe," Little Landlady grinned and said, "But, Chairman, how do you know so much?"
Lin Chuan pondered for a moment before asking, "Little Landlady, I also want to ask, how do you know so much?"
"Huh?"
Little Landlady's face froze in surprise, and then a blush crept over her face, "Chairman, I... I learned it all from study materials."
"So did I!" Lin Chuan said, looking at her sincerely.
Little Landlady pouted, "Then carry me inside."
"What for?" Lin Chuan blinked in puzzlement.
Little Landlady wrapped her arms around Lin Chuan's neck, and her legs too mischievously wrapped around his waist as she clung to him and then whispered in his ear with a warm breath, "The rent is due."
"Is this rent even legit?" Lin Chuan asked in a daze.
"There's also utility fees," Little Landlady murmured, smiling with pursed lips.
Lin Chuan scooped up Little Landlady in his arms and then walked into the living room, closed the balcony doors, and drew the curtains.
A prolonged battle ensued.
...
The next morning.
Lin Chuan got up from bed, thoroughly satisfied.
Little Landlady was exhausted to the point of collapse and hadn't woken up yet.
Lin Chuan leaned against the balcony, feeling invigorated as he enjoyed the fresh breeze from the river, carrying the fresh scent of water and faint aroma of grass and trees and brushing against his face.
At that moment.
The sun had just risen, painting the sky with a faint brush of orange and red, while the river surface rippled gently, shimmering and sparkling as if countless shattered diamonds were dancing upon the water.
Occasionally, a few early-birds chirped merrily on the branches, their songs crisp and melodious.
Lin Chuan closed his eyes, quietly relishing everything.
After all, he had been through hundreds of rounds of an intense battle with Little Landlady last night, and today he switched straight into sage mode, beginning to ponder over life's mysteries and the unsolved enigmas of the universe.
Of course.
Lin Chuan hadn't really delved into any cosmic mysteries, so he was mainly reflecting on life.
He started to summarize his gains from the recent period.
The first volume of his newly released novel, "Touch Gold Notes," had been well received by readers.
It's just that there were quite a number of readers who wanted to send him blades.
Because Lin Chuan usually published his novels in full and never even missed a day of updates.
The reason behind this, of course, was his eagerness to meet the system's requirements.
Readers had grown accustomed to reading Lin Chuan's completed novels, and suddenly, with Lin Chuan publishing volume by volume, they became frantic.
Ahem, the initial impact was good, unaffected by Old Yao's "Antique Wind Quest."
