Chapter 115: Chu Ge’s Qiu Wuji
Chapter 115: Chu Ge’s Qiu Wuji
In the afternoon, Chu Ge was in a great state and updated two chapters, totaling 4,000 words, with eager anticipation he opened the group chat to see if anyone praised his lengthy work.
But the conversation in the group was discussing something else: “What did Chu Ge update? We want to read the main stuff.”
Chu Ge: “?”
“Where’s my Qiu Qiu’s autobiography? Sob, sob, sob… my Qiu Qiu…”
Chu Ge: “…”
What exactly is considered the main stuff?
Qiu Wuji sent a smiling expression in the group and privately messaged Chu Ge: “Do you feel a bit like being NTR’d?”
Chu Ge was shocked: “What the heck, how do you know that term? I suggest you leave the group!”
Qiu Wuji replied: “With your limited vocabulary, it only takes a few days to learn everything. Don’t you dare kick me out, this is not over!”
Chu Ge regretted bringing her into the group as a moderator: “I shouldn’t have let you learn all this nonsense. What has your writing study turned you into?”
“This is just others treating my side story as the main text, hehe.”
Chu Ge covered his face and took a while to respond: “How did you learn to have conversations on the internet while there’s still someone next to you… and using cute expressions every day?”
“It’s interesting to have this kind of feeling where we’re physically together but communicating through the internet.”
“It’s better not to do that. It’s not a good thing.”
“Why?”
“It represents reduced real-life communication and a certain sense of loneliness.”
“You dead romantic.”
“You, who can use ‘physically together but communicating through the internet’ to describe online chatting, calling me a dead romantic…” Chu Ge couldn’t help but laugh and cry, and changed the topic directly: “Hey, how about going out for dinner today?”
“We still have some leftovers from lunch. Just heat them up in the microwave, it’s much simpler… Wait a moment, I’ll finish reading this section and then go warm up the food. You can take a break.”
“What are you reading?”
“I’m re-reading your book, Master. The more I read it, the more I gain insights.”
Chu Ge felt like he had taken a sip of ice-cold cola, feeling refreshed from head to stomach.
Qiu Wuji glanced at the door as if she was being sneaky, then shifted her gaze back to her phone. On the screen was a work by a popular female author, clearly not Chu Ge’s…
Feeling guilty for fooling him like this, Qiu Wuji retreated and opened Chu Ge’s book. Under a her character deails section, she recorded a voiceover as Qiu Wuji: “Since the plan of Yan Qianli has been thwarted, I, tonight, shall enter the heart of burning flames and completely destroy this source of chaos.”
She had just discovered the voiceover feature herself. Would her own voiceover as Qiu Wuji be criticized as “not quite accurate”?
Qiu Wuji played the recording herself and found it pleasant and cool. Who cares what others say!
As for the plot itself, it was a bait, spreading false information to the spy. In reality, she hadn’t gone to burning flame’s heart, but was waiting in the shadows.
This was also the first encounter with Yan Qianli before their decisive battle, a move that caught Yan Qianli off guard.
Although Yan Qianli retreated unharmed, his subordinates suffered losses and were demoralized. Coupled with the loss of the hidden hands she had set up, all of this would clearly affect the balance of the final battle. In truth, there were only a few days left until the day of the decisive battle…
To be honest, Qiu Wuji was quite impressed with Chu Ge’s plot design. He had never experienced anything himself, yet he could create such intricate schemes and conflicts in his writing, weaving a fascinating world within his book. Why was he so naive in real life?
Chu Ge mentioned that this section was an imitation of the battles between Zijin and the Moon Full Blocking River. The outcome of the decisive battle was already determined, but there were plenty of pre-battle stories surrounding it, using techniques learned from famous authors. So Qiu Wuji also tried learning from popular female authors, but she couldn’t really summarize any key points from her own study.
It seems like having a mentor is necessary…
Qiu Wuji thought for a moment, then put down her phone and leaned over to see what Chu Ge was up to.
He was reading a chat conversation among experts in the “Street Racing Group”.
“Sigh, my body can’t handle it lately, so my updates have decreased.”
“You’re burned out too? How much did you reduce?”
“I used to do thirty thousand, now I can only manage twenty thousand.”
Chu Ge looked at the proud update he had just made, silently sending a message: “Don’t overwork yourself… I’m begging you…”
The group quickly started repeating his message: “Don’t overwork yourself… I’m begging you…”
“No…” someone else said, “When others say not to overwork, it’s fine, but if you, Chu Ge, say it, I can’t accept it.”
Chu Ge wondered, “What’s wrong? I only did eight thousand today, and I took a leave of absence in the past two days.”
“You think I’m talking about updates?” The expert posted a picture, saying, “A while ago, someone asked us for writing advice, and we speculated it was to impress a female disciple. Take a look, take a look, we have evidence.”
Chu Ge looked closely and saw a photo of himself wiping Qiu Wuji’s mouth at a seafood stall…
At that time, a girl next to them said she wanted to post it, and Qiu Wuji didn’t object.
Chu Ge didn’t object either. Qiu Wuji had an identity now, so why hide and keep things secret every day? At that time, he felt so happy, he wanted the whole world to know. He just didn’t think that this photo would have any significant circulation. Was that girl some kind of highly popular influencer?
Well, now…
Suddenly, Qiu Wuji’s head popped out from beside him. “How did this photo end up in your expert group?”
You finally realize that this is the expert group… Chu Ge rubbed his forehead. “What should we do now?”
Qiu Wuji looked at him askew, as if the words “jerk” were written in her gaze. You wiped my mouth, and you’re asking me what to do?
Chu Ge turned to look at the screen, where the experts were angrily cursing and condemning him: “What the hell, Chu Ge, are you even human?”
“Let go of that girl!”
“She’s so beautiful, Chu Ge really keeps it hidden.”
“Is she really your female assistant?”
“The person involved disappeared? @Come out, @come out, without a red envelope, this matter won’t be resolved.”
Chu Ge weakly asked, “Where did you guys see this photo?”
The expert who posted the photo replied, “This picture is trending online now. Everyone says the girl is too beautiful, and the guy is handsome too. The photo is just too sweet. At first, no one knew who they were. Some people guessed it was a staged photo of an internet celebrity, while others argued that no internet celebrity had that kind of temperament. But the more they argued, the more popular it became.”
Chu Ge: “…”
The expert continued, “I was just enjoying the show at first, but then your interview photo came out, and when I saw it, oh, the man wiping her mouth, isn’t that you? Just you wait, as the identity of the ‘male lead’ is revealed, the photo will become even more popular, including your book… Oh damn, could this be a marketing stunt by your editor? Did the editor evolve after consuming Brain Platinum?”
Chu Ge: “The experts really have wild imaginations.”
“So it’s really you in the photo?”
“It’s me.”
“So you really are pursuing your female assistant?”
Chu Ge didn’t know how to answer, and his personal group chat was also exploding with notifications: “Brother Chu, come out. Is the woman in that photo Qiu Qiu?”
“So you took a leave of absence that day, claiming to be sick? Turns out you were out picking up girls?”
“…Emmmm, why do I feel like it’s not entirely impossible to take a leave of absence to pick up girls?”
“But that really looks like Qiu Qiu!”
“Damn it, little brother Chu, come out. Did you have a secret relationship with your female assistant?”
Chu Ge: “…”
His phone’s WeChat notification sounded, and he saw it was Lin Wuyang.
Yang Dingtian: “That photo of you wiping her mouth, is that you?”
Chu Ge: “Yeah.”
Yang Dingtian: “That girl looks somewhat familiar, was she one of your fangirls from that day?”
Chu Ge began to sweat.
Yang Dingtian: “Confirmed fangirl, Chu Ge, do you want to come with me?”
“Are you very free, Chief Lin?” Chu Ge became frustrated. “What about my wanted reward?”
“Oh, I asked about it. It has already been transferred to the bureau’s official account this morning. You just need to come to the bureau to sign a document, and then you can leave.”
“…”
“So, you have nothing to divert the topic now, Chu Qian.”
Chu Ge directly closed WeChat.
In a fluster, he turned to look at Qiu Wuji, who was also a little dumbfounded. She thought it was just a few people joking around and wanted to see Chu Ge’s embarrassed appearance. But it had become unexpectedly popular, even Lin Wuyang had seen it…
When something on the internet reaches the point where even your friends around you know about it, you can say it has “gone viral.”
Now even Qiu Wuji was a little panicked and asked, “W-What do we do?”
Chu Ge looked at her steadily for a while and suddenly smiled. “What do we do?”
Qiu Wuji: “Huh?”
Chu Ge softly said, “Chu Ge desires to pursue Qiu Wuji. There’s nothing to hide about it, I want everyone to know. But as for you… Qiu Wuji, do you want others to know?”
Qiu Wuji also quieted down and looked at him without saying anything.
“If you don’t want to be discussed by others, I can make an announcement saying that I took my little sister out to play that day, and that’s it. If you don’t mind, then I’ll just tell everyone directly that you are Chu Ge’s Qiu Wuji.”
