Chapter 635

After calming Ying Chanxi, Li Luo quickly stepped out of the room and turned off the bedroom light.

He went to the living room, changed into his school uniform, tossed his pajamas aside, then returned to Xu Youyu's room and pushed open the door.

This time, Xu Youyu didn't pin him against the wall—Li Luo walked in and saw her sitting at her desk.

Hearing Li Luo enter, Xu Youyu slowly stood up, walked to the door, closed it, then silently locked it.

Li Luo heard the lock click, his heart skipped a beat, and a faint premonition stirred in his chest.

But Xu Youyu didn't speak right away; after locking the door, she leaned her back against it and smiled at him.

"Where are Xixi and Zhusheng?"

"They're asleep."

"I see." Xu Youyu nodded, then walked from the door back to the desk—this time she didn't sit down, but gestured to Li Luo, "Come sit here."

"Oh." Dressed in his school uniform, Li Luo sat on the chair, glanced at the computer screen, and already began imagining all sorts of scenarios.

But Xu Youyu still had the patience to grip the mouse, open her outline and the latest few chapters, and asked Li Luo, "Regarding the protagonist's relationship with the official organization, how do you think it should be handled going forward?"

Li Luo glanced at Xu Youyu in surprise, thinking: You made me change into my school uniform just to ask questions?

Isn't there anything else?

"Why are you staring at me?" Xu Youyu asked innocently. "I'm asking you a question."

"Uh…" Li Luo paused, finally cleared his mind of all the dirty thoughts, considered her question, and said, "Aren't you already handling it well?"

"The official agency dedicated to managing Qi revival has already taken shape, and its relationship with the protagonist is very cooperative."

"Later on, you could try introducing an international angle."

Hearing this, Xu Youyu perked up, sat sideways on Li Luo's thigh, and placed her hands on the keyboard to press further: "What do you mean by an international angle?"

"Our people are generally simple and honest," Li Luo guided gently. "Even if some exploit Qi revival for profit or cause trouble, the incidents aren't very severe."

"But to escalate the conflict later, you could introduce antagonists from neighboring countries."

"Like that island nation next door—yeah, you know, the emotional triggers there are easier to tap into."

"Oh oh, I get it." Xu Youyu took careful notes, but as she nodded, her firm buttocks rubbed against Li Luo's thigh.

Looking at Xu Youyu in her blue-and-white school uniform, Li Luo suddenly understood why she'd insisted he wear it.

Indeed… it felt pretty good.

"You're not being honest," Xu Youyu said with a smile after finishing her notes, turning to face him. "I was seriously asking for your advice, but you were thinking dirty things."

"How's that dirty? It's only natural," Li Luo replied, no longer so restrained around Xu Youyu—he couldn't help slipping one hand inside her school jacket.

"W-what are you doing?" Xu Youyu felt his wandering hand, her cheeks flushed red, she grabbed his wrist and whispered, "Don't… my parents are still outside."

Hearing this, Li Luo froze for a moment, realizing the scenario of tonight was this.

Quickly accepting this setup, he smirked and squeezed harder: "It's fine—your parents won't come in, and didn't you lock the door yourself?"

"Y-you're too forceful…" Xu Youyu whimpered, collapsing into his arms, then raised a finger and pressed it against his lips, whispering, "Call me senior today."

"Senior…" Li Luo instantly understood her meaning—the word sent a thrill through him, a strange, indescribable excitement spreading in his chest.

"Alright, stop… stop touching for now," Xu Youyu whispered. "I'll let you keep it there, but don't move—our conversation isn't finished."

"Okay." Li Luo's interest was fully aroused; he nodded along with her script. "I won't move—just leave it here, alright?"

"Mm…" Xu Youyu felt the heat of his palm, nodded slightly, then whispered, "You're such a bad junior."

"So, senior, do you have any more questions?" Li Luo obediently kept his right hand on Xu Youyu's chest, through her school shirt.

"Mm…" Xu Youyu thought a moment, then asked, "So according to you, there's a hostile force from that island nation stirring up trouble domestically."

"The official organization can't handle it, so they turn to the protagonist for help."

"Then the protagonist steps in and defeats the villains?"

"The conventional approach is similar," Li Luo nodded. "But when writing stories with this backdrop, avoid making the official organization look utterly incompetent—don't make them rely on the protagonist for everything."

"A little more nuance here will make the reading experience more comfortable."

"You could even establish one or two positive official figures as role models—it would help generate positive emotions."

"I roughly get your point," Xu Youyu nodded, her expression thoughtful.

But the next second, she let out a soft whimper and playfully slapped Li Luo: "Junior~ you're bad~ you promised not to move!"

"I just solved another problem for you, senior," Li Luo grinned. "A little reward isn't too much, is it?"

"I just can't deal with you," Xu Youyu lowered her head shyly. "Then… if you want a reward…"

Saying this, Xu Youyu slipped her hand inside his school jacket, gripped his hand, pulled it out, then lifted the hem of her school shirt and guided it inside.

Then she leaned into Li Luo's arms, tilted her head to his ear, and whispered, "Then… this is your reward—don't squeeze too hard, okay?"

Feeling the warmth at his ear and the softness beneath his palm, Li Luo's breathing grew heavier.

"Mm…" Xu Youyu clenched her lips, muffled moans escaped, then she breathed in shallow gasps, whispering, "I said not too hard… what if my parents hear?"

"Sorry, senior," Li Luo whispered in her ear, softening his movements. "I'll be gentler."

"Mm, good," Xu Youyu closed her eyes and savored it for a moment, then finally pressed his hand still. "I've asked all my questions—it's your turn now."

"My turn?"

"Yes," Xu Youyu nodded. "Didn't you come here specifically for tutoring? Any study problems lately?"

"Study problems…" Li Luo tilted his head, thought a moment, then smiled with a hint of frustration. "Actually, there's one problem that's been bothering me for a long time."

"Tell me," Xu Youyu encouraged softly. "What is it? Senior will help you solve it."

"It's about biology," Li Luo leaned close to her ear, took her left hand in his, and guided it downward. "Senior, this problem is really troublesome."

"Especially whenever I'm with you, it becomes especially obvious."

"Can you help me fix it?"

"Mm… so it's this problem…" Xu Youyu blinked softly in his arms, whispering gently, "This one's hard, but also simple."

"So is it hard or simple?" Li Luo pressed.

"If it's in my hands, of course it's simple." Xu Youyu suddenly lifted her head and kissed Li Luo on the cheek, then smiled, "Mmm? So cute—you even jumped."

"Senior… why did you suddenly kiss me?"

"I'm helping you solve your problem," Xu Youyu said slowly. "But your problem is stubborn, so…"

Xu Youyu sat up in Li Luo's arms, tilting her head slightly, her tempting lips drawing close to his.

Li Luo stared at the increasingly close, rosy lips and whispered, "Senior, isn't this inappropriate? I'm here for tutoring—how can we kiss?"

"This is still to help you solve your problem," Xu Youyu said gently. "Don't you want to taste what your senior tastes like?"

Since Xu Youyu said that, Li Luo stopped being polite—he leaned down and kissed her.

Neither knew how long they kissed.

When they finally came to their senses, Xu Youyu was already pinned beneath Li Luo on the bed.

But the key problem still hadn't been solved.

"You've really given me a tough problem," Xu Youyu smiled, her fingertip tracing lightly—she could feel an astonishing pulse of life.

"Didn't you say solving it would be easy for you?" Li Luo buried his head in Xu Youyu's chest; her school jacket had been torn open, two buttons of her shirt undone, revealing a large expanse of snowy skin.

Xu Youyu's face flushed, her breathing shallow, arms wrapped around Li Luo's head, her eyes long since glazed.

"You're underestimating me, little brother."

Gently pushing Li Luo's head away, Xu Youyu rolled over onto him and leaned down, lifting his school uniform.

Slowly… her head gradually slid downward.

Until Li Luo, eyes hazy, stared at the ceiling, involuntarily holding his breath.

Lower still.

He saw the cascading long hair below, like a blooming black lotus, drifting and rising in water.

Each rhythm of movement drew away his reason and soul.

Until the black lotus stained the white clouds, and the sky itself fell silent, sinking into the moonlight.

…

More than half an hour later, Xu Youyu sat in a chair, enjoying Li Luo's hair-drying service.

"Couldn't you have warned me ahead of time? Now I have to wash my hair again."

"I thought…"

"Last time in the Motorhome, I had no choice!" Xu Youyu snapped. "Do you expect this to happen every time? You men are truly terrible!"

"I'm sorry, Senior," Li Luo said, drying her hair, then pulling her back into his arms.

Xu Youyu grumbled, leaning against him, then suddenly grinned: "Someone's been naughty—how did this happen again?"

"It means the problem isn't fully solved yet, Senior."

Li Luo whispered in her ear, "Why don't you think of another solution? You're the top student at Fu Yi High."

"You really are impossible."

Xu Youyu sighed helplessly, smiling.

Then she pushed lightly against Li Luo's chest, guiding him all the way to the edge of the bed, and gave a gentle shove.

Li Luo fell onto the bed again.

This time, Xu Youyu climbed onto him.

After kissing for a long while, Li Luo felt Xu Youyu's hand reach out, taking his and guiding him through something.

"Little brother."

Xu Youyu whispered softly in his ear.

"For a problem like yours, besides the method we just used, I have… another, more direct one… would you like to try it?"

Listening to Xu Youyu's soft whisper, Li Luo's hand had already been led by her to some mysterious place.

At that moment, Li Luo's heart pounded wildly—he opened his eyes, gazing intently at Xu Youyu.

But as soon as he opened them, Li Luo froze.

There, Xu Youyu bit a small square piece between her lips, smiling down at him.

"For this solution, you must cap the pen while solving."
