Chapter 99 Brother Gulu
Chapter 99 Brother Gulu
"Do you know why the school library bought this book?" Lu Ping walked to Gu Lu's side, "Because my brother Gulu is a resident writer for "Years of Reasoning" and "Youth Literature"! The school specially ordered it to support Brother Gulu."
Lu Ping was very proud of it, because he believed that Gu Lu was the one he protected. He was so loud and excited, just like a fisherman who returned with a full load.
"It's this article 'Mr. Holmes', written by Brother Gulu," Lu Ping turned the magazine to the page where the story was serialized.
Flathead Brother was still worried that his classmates wouldn't believe him, so he squinted his eyes so much that you could hardly see his eyeballs. "Don't doubt the authenticity of this news. I just happened to meet Teacher Hu, who is in charge of admissions. 'Our school definitely supports student writers who graduate from No. 8 Middle School.' These are Teacher Hu's exact words." He said this while imitating the director's speaking posture.
Hey, Director Hu’s eyes are small, but not as exaggerated as you are. It’s simply a blatant slander! Gu Lu thought to himself.
Lu Ping patted Gu Lu's shoulder hard, and the latter felt the other party's strong hand that had nowhere to go.
As Lu Ping finished speaking, the never-quiet Class 10 classroom became quiet, even quieter than when Mr. Lu, who plays "Lu Zhishen", got angry.
Swish swish!
More than 40 classmates looked at Gu Lu as if he were a monster. Even if they said that Gu Lu was an alien from the same planet as Ike Aixiu, there were still classmates who believed it.
Huang Lu, Ma Xuanyou, Zeng Jie (Zeng Haer), Dou Ke, Lu Yi (class leader) and others all showed their astonishment.
Suddenly they discovered that their classmate was a hidden boss, and an unbelievable sense of absurdity filled their hearts.
Oops! Wei Jiao and Qi Caiwei looked at each other.
What’s more uncomfortable than having a secret in your heart but not knowing who to tell it to is when someone else tells it first. That’s really frustrating.
"Zhou Lin, who gave a speech on behalf of the freshmen at the opening ceremony, is not a celebrity. I am the celebrity of No. 37 Middle School... Damn, this guy might be telling the truth!" Tian Xiao suddenly felt that the memories were so shining. Who was pretending to be cool in the memories?
"I would rather accept that Gu Lu is the principal's illegitimate son!" muttered my deskmate Tian Xiao.
After a long while, Lu Ping finally broke the silence in the classroom, "Isn't it awesome? This is... the trump card of our basketball club!"
Don't you think your words are irrelevant? Wei Jiao complained in her heart. According to this logic, the ace of the Shuren Literature Club must be the best basketball player?
The two magazines that Lu Ping brought back were snatched away by his classmates, who all wanted to take a good look at them.
"Mr. Holmes? Writing a novel about Sherlock Holmes?" "Since the beginning of the school year, I've felt that Gu Lu has a talent bursting out from his head." "You are bragging. You said in the dormitory a few days ago that Gu Lu looked easy to bully." "Nonsense, you are talking nonsense." "Come on, go out and tell them that there is a great writer in our class"...
In high school, my classmates had a strong sense of collective honor.
"Why can't I find Gu Lu's novels in "Youth Literature and Art"? Did he use a pen name?" a classmate asked.
"This is not the issue that my brother Gulu serialized," Lu Ping replied.
The way he addressed Gu Lu changed from "Wheel" to "Brother Wheel". Why not "Brother Gu Lu"? Because this playful name can show how close their relationship is.
"It's.a.wonderful.day.in.the.neighborhood..." The school bell rang. I always felt it was strange that the school used this English song as the bell.
The students quickly returned to their seats, Lu Ping also left, and only then did Gu Lu move his shoulders.
Gu Lu thought that most of his junior high school classmates didn’t know that he was serializing in a magazine.
I don’t know if the former financial sponsor Zhang Yudong saw the thanks at the beginning of this story.
Gu Lu thought of something happy and interesting. The Shu Ren Literary Society was rehearsing a stage play based on "Yesterday's Park". He didn't know how Zhou Lin would react when he saw the words "playing badminton", "Zhou Ning", "father Zhou Lu", and "Tianchen Park".
Tianchen Park is the name of a park with special functions in the story. It is also the place where Gu Lu and Zhou Lin play badminton on Sundays - the Tianchen Branch Road is under repair.
After class, many classmates gathered around Gu Lu, and he instantly jumped from the bottom of the food chain to the top of the food chain.
There are many more questions. "How do you submit your work?" "Where do you get the inspiration to write a novel?" "Do I have to write a story every month to become a contracted writer?" and so on.
Unlike what Gu Lu had imagined, no classmates asked him about his income from writing novels.
Gu Lu has established good relationships with his classmates in school, and he also has good connections outside of school. Although the manuscripts of the latest stories he has been drawn have not been typed out, editors have already come to him.
Thousands of miles away is Bingcheng, the city where Gu Lu once participated in the mystery event. The headquarters of "Years·Mystery" is not in Bingcheng, but the editorial office of "Horror·New Reading" is firmly located in Jingyang Street, Daowai District.
Xiao Xue, the editor of "Horror", felt that his luck was about to change because his friend Lao Li introduced him to a talented writer.
Lao Li is the editor of "Story Club", but he often introduces potential writers to other newspapers and magazines.
From the author's perspective, Lao Li is a mentor. Moving from Story Club to more mainstream newspapers and periodicals is a big improvement. Story Club has high sales, but it has always been categorized as "toilet reading."
From the editorial department's perspective...perhaps this is the reason why Lao Li has always been a deputy editor and has not been able to move up any further.
Especially "Inhuman Love" and "One-Inch Master", Xiao Xue thinks that such excellent thriller novels should be published in their "Horror" magazine.
"Teacher Gu Lu, please add me as your friend!"
"Why haven't you added it yet? It's been an hour."
"You won't add strangers, will you?"
……
Xiao Xue became anxious.
Gu Lu was also a little anxious, looking towards the air conditioner -
The air conditioner has been repaired, but perhaps due to lack of fluorine, it doesn't cool very well. Anyway, the students whose seats are close to the air conditioner have to wear autumn school uniforms, while the students whose seats are far away say they are hot but they are not sweating. However, they also seem to be swept by the tail end of the hot weather.
"Can you please stop being so excessive? You've completely covered up the air conditioner. What are we getting in front of us?"
The last class was a physical education class. As soon as we returned to the classroom, a conflict arose among the students because several male students wanted to hug the air conditioner. It is said that it is easy to get facial paralysis if you blow it like this, but relying on their youth, they just like to use their faces to receive the cold air.
"Ma Xuanrou, Zeng Jie, you two are so tall and strong, you are too selfish. And the one next to you, can you please sit in your own seat!"
"It's all very hot, let the air out quickly."
Xuanrou is Ma Xuanyou's nickname, which means fat, but actually, practicing shot put only makes him strong, not fat.
More and more classmates began to criticize the boys.
Ma Xuanyou, the sports commissioner, couldn't stand it anymore, and several boys returned to their seats reluctantly.
"Why is the air conditioning in our class not working at all?" Huang Lu sighed.
"It may be a lack of fluoride. I'll ask my dad to take a look tomorrow." Hearing this, Dou Ke immediately said to Huang Lu.
Huang Lulu forced a smile on her blushing face, "That would be great."
