Afterwards, Chu Ge lounged comfortably on the sofa, watching TV half-heartedly. Qiu Wuji sat to the side, hugging a large teddy bear, looking completely serious, as if he had forgotten what he had just done.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be writing? You're watching TV first thing in the morning."
"I wrote for two whole days the other day...take a break."
"Oh."
"You have class today, right?"
"Yeah..." Qiu Wuji rested his chin on the bear's head and mumbled, "Finally experiencing what everyone feels like on weekends and Mondays..."
"Haha..." Seeing his reluctant face, Chu Ge laughed: "Very good, very good, you're a modern person now."
"You don't even need to experience these things! Do you even know what day of the week it is? I have to remind you of holidays!"
"But I've experienced them for twenty years, just with a different job now. I have to write even on holidays, it's even worse."
"I haven't seen you suffer. You're traveling to another world and still managing to write at the same time. So many writers would want that cheat code."
"But I'm still thinking about when I'll write about the seven days over there..."
Qiu Wuji was both amused and annoyed: "You're obsessed, aren't you? With that wicked woman urging you to practice, I doubt you'll have the time..." At this point, both of them stopped talking, their faces flushed.
The atmosphere seems different now. Why does it automatically remind me of the compensation and encouragement that follows when it comes to practicing martial arts?
Chu Ge's eyes unconsciously drifted to her little feet again; they were still so crystal clear and adorable.
"What are you looking at?" Qiu Wuji leaned back on the sofa, putting her feet on his lap. "Look all you want." She's like a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water, it's just like that. This position is actually quite comfortable…
Chu Ge didn't stand on ceremony, playing with her little feet while his eyes remained fixed on the TV.
Ever since the copyright adaptation started, he'd subconsciously been watching TV, looking for actors he liked, even though filming was still a long way off, and casting had nothing to do with him…
Qiu Wuji didn't care much about that. Her mind was mainly on the manga, thinking about how to adapt it and draw herself beautifully.
Online class starts at nine… I don't really want to go…
She felt so energetic when she went back to work on the manga before, but being interrupted halfway through was annoying. After resting for two days, she didn't want to go to class anymore. Nothing feels as comfortable as leaning back on the sofa with his feet tucked in…
Humans are indeed inherently lazy. Like when writing an autobiography, I stopped for two days and didn't want to write anymore… It's only a few tens of thousands of words long now, how long has it been? No wonder my writing mentor, Chu Ge, said that if you see an author taking a long break while following a book, be careful; it's very likely a sign of abandoning the project, because they'll come back after a while and not want to write anymore…
However, an autobiography isn't really the main story. A few tens of thousands of words is quite a lot. Qiu Wuji doesn't plan to write a very long one. If she really wrote down ten thousand years of experience, readers would probably have to wait for generations to finish reading. She only plans to focus on the key points and write around 100,000 words to "finish" it, ending when she achieves some success in her immortal cultivation, as a supplement to the world in Chu Ge's book. Making it too complete is actually not good; it loses a lot of room for imagination and interpretation.
In the future, she can write her own things, though not necessarily in the traditional writing style; she can use comics. Qiu Wuji felt this was more suitable for her than writing books. After all, it was expressing herself visually, which was easier for her. Pure text felt like a barrier, and even after studying with Master Chu Ge for so long, she hadn't seen much progress. Chu Ge had said before that writing couldn't be taught, and there was definitely some truth to that.
Comics, too, created a world, perhaps even more concretely. It served the same purpose as Chu Ge's experience of creating worlds. The storytelling techniques she had learned with Chu Ge were still applicable here, so it wasn't a loss.
Oh dear, she still had to go to class!
But she still didn't want to get up…
"Stop touching me." Qiu Wuji heard her own voice, so soft it was unbelievable to herself: "I'm all soft…"
Chu Ge: 凸
"Hehe. How adorable." Qiu Wuji pulled her little foot back, hugged the teddy bear, and ran back to her room in a flash: "I'm going to class, you hurry up and start writing!"
While supervising her practice over there, she was also supervising her writing over here. Life after Qiu Qiu came along was always about having a mother.
But it was happy.

Chu Ge stood up refreshed, stretched, and felt full of energy today—ready for a big update!
"Chu-da! Chu-da!" Just as he sat back down at his computer, he received a private message from Panda: "I beat up the character illustration you gave me the other day, so she can use it directly. Therefore, Qiu Qiu's birthday event can start scheduling."
Chu Ge was very happy: "Thank you so much! I'll send you a red envelope later!"
"It's nothing, just beating someone up!" Panda laughed: "But it's only late October now. If we follow Qiu Qiu's birthday in the book, which is May 20th, then it's still half a year away..."
"No, the character didn't tell you that this needs to be scheduled, not that we set the date." "Is that so?" Panda thought for a moment, "I guess the character cat wouldn't dare do this to me, afraid of getting beaten up..."
Chu Ge: "..."
Panda sighed slightly, "So, Qiu Qiu can't celebrate her own birthday, she has to celebrate according to the schedule set by the game maker, whatever time she celebrates her birthday?"
"More or less, but there's a range she can choose from, right?"
"So, what time does Chu Da prefer?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go ask Qiu Qiu, she's taking online classes."
Panda: "?" We're talking about the character Qiu Wuji from the book, why are you going to ask your sixth child? Can't you tell the difference between the book and real-life cosplay?
Hearing Chu Ge's question, Qiu Wuji felt quite regretful. She had long wanted to experience what it was like for all the readers to celebrate her birthday… It was all because of that Zhang Qiren, who gave her gold rewards but didn't even give them to the character, sob sob, otherwise she would have already gotten the card…
She wondered if Zhang Qiren would be furious if he knew he was being criticized for giving gold rewards. Qiu Wuji asked Chu Ge expectantly, "Can we skip this birthday celebration for now? Celebrate it together with the one-star card event?"
"It seems there's a precedent for that, so it should be possible," Chu Ge said nonchalantly. "Birthday events used to be considered recommendations, but it doesn't matter now. Even a dog wouldn't look at the placement anyway. It's better to combine it with the card event."
"Then let's combine them. I'll organize some reader community activities, get everyone to give me… oh, give Qiu Wuji lots of hearts, and try to get the card birthday event on May 20th, okay?" The female protagonist seemingly stepping out of the book to personally manage her own birthday card was hilarious. Chu Ge couldn't help but laugh, pinching her nose: "You're the operations manager, you're in charge." Qiu Wuji turned and pushed him: "Okay, okay, go away, don't disturb my class, you made me miss a part..." Chu Ge then turned back to Panda, who was happy to have less trouble, and laughed: "Sanwa, it's been a long time since you've been to the Black Room, when are you coming to play?"
"When we were looking at the moon, you called me Chu Da, but now that you're old and faded, you're Sanwa..."
"This isn't about the Black Room anymore, it's not about that, get your roles straight, Sanwa."
"As expected of my readers, this thought process..." "Just like a certain female protagonist." Panda: "?"
"Nothing..." Chu Ge asked, "Did Zhong Yi go to Shanghai recently?"
"Yes, we might be going to Shanghai for tourism in a while." Chu Ge immediately understood: "You want to help Zhong Yi?"
"Yeah... Brother Zhong is loyal. Although he didn't run into any trouble this time, we still felt he was in some kind of predicament and needed some help." Indeed, Zhong Yi was facing some trouble. Actually, precisely because he wasn't in any trouble, he was even more loyal, afraid of dragging you all down... Chu Ge thought to himself.
Panda continued, "Anyway, we're just sitting around doing nothing. Long Sijia hasn't found a job yet, and I'm just a gold digger. Zijun's side is also temporarily idle after the harvest, and the chef's shop is closed... Why aren't we helping Brother Zhong? What are we doing hiding at home?"
"So what do you mean by calling me..."
"No way! You fucking update me! If you dare run around, I'll punch you through the internet!"
Chu Ge was both amused and exasperated: "Then why do you want me to go to the dark room?"
"You're the best fighter in the dark room. Come over and spar with us, see how our training has gone."
Chu Ge was somewhat interested. These people's abilities were all incredibly bizarre; once they started training, some of them could be terrifying. He wondered how far they could go now.
Just then, the editor's avatar flashed again: "Chu Ge, Chu Ge."
Chu Ge: "...What instructions do you have, Miss?"
"The film company here is starting to prepare for project approval, and they want to discuss some things with you in person. It'll probably be around next week or the week after. Do you think it would be convenient for you to come to Shanghai then? To prepare some drafts..."
