Chapter 225 Follow Gu Lushang Comics

What does it mean to show off? Look at the expression on Lu Ping's face. He wishes he could grow a peacock's tail and spread it out right away!
"If I had known earlier, I would have joined the basketball club." Ma Xuanyou seemed to have gone crazy and grabbed Gu Lu's arm. "Brother Gulu, Brother Gulu, do you know any cartoonists who draw food animations, like "Cooking Master Boy", and can help our food club get on the list?"

You have to know that Ma Xuanyou is a big and strong man, and he also practices shot put. He is the strongest person in Class 10. When he hugged Gu Lu, the latter felt suffocated by the friendship.

Ma Xuanyou also howled, "Gulu, you know our Food Club. We are the most pitiful group in the whole group. Every time we have an event, they eat up all the food we prepare, but there is no footage or coverage. I heard from our instructor that they are going to cut our funding recently. Oh my God! Do we still want the Food Club to survive?"

"I don't actually know the cartoonist. The author of Kurokoro is just an exception. He was invited by the publishing house to draw a personal anime character for me." Gu Luyan clarified concisely.

“…Well, it’s our fault that the food club has such a hard life.” Ma Xuanyou returned to his seat silently.

To be honest, Gu Lu felt a little bit uncomfortable that such a big guy was good at cooking delicious food. Don’t judge a person by his appearance!
"Draw a personal anime character?" Lu Ping asked curiously, "Do you have a picture? Show us."

“I don’t have a picture either.” Gu Lu refused decisively. It’s okay to look at the picture by yourself, but if it is circulated in the whole class...will he still be alive?

"I don't know when I can finish the painting. I can't wait." Lu Ping rubbed his hands.

Zeng Jie said, "Answer me a question. If the characters from "The Prince of Tennis" and "Kuroko's Basketball" fought, who would win?"

"Kurokuran - no, it should be..."

While the two were chatting, Gu Lu returned to his table. His seat was currently very spacious because he had no one sitting at the same table.

After packing up his things, Gu Lu left the school without going to evening self-study. He bought a copy of "Youth Literature and Art" because there was an article about Tangyuan in that issue.

Go home and open the windows to ventilate.

Recently, a thief broke into my house through the window when no one was at home, so I have to close the windows when I go out.

For safety reasons, Gu Lu called the landlord and told him about his plan to install anti-theft windows.

At first the landlord said he would come and take a look and pay half of the money, but he didn't answer the phone in the past two days.

"Safety first. No matter if it's halfway or not, we still have to install it." Gu Lu made up his mind and called the door and window seller downstairs.

He saw it on his way home yesterday and made a note of the phone number so that he could be sure to find someone to install the anti-theft windows at the place where he bought them.

Gu Lu arranged a time for his visit over the phone, which was this Saturday afternoon.

In the morning, as a consultant, Gu Lu will compete with the Model United Nations Club of No. 8 Middle School.

Gu Lu got himself a glass of water and sat on the small sofa, reading Tang Yuan's serialized articles.

"Li Guyuan is indeed a genius. He has not neglected his writing during the biology competition."

“Why are outstanding students so motivated?”

Gu Lu thought of Zhou Lin. They both had one thing in common: it felt like they always had enough time.

"No, I got the cause and effect order wrong. It should be that they are more active, so their grades are good."

I must also be that good. From today on, in addition to reading, Gu Lu will copy a piece of classical Chinese every day!
This was inspired by Zhou Shuren's copying of "Zizhi Tongjian".

Gu Lu has no homework, does this count as finding homework for himself?

The next day, at dawn, the sound of reading aloud could be heard in the classroom.

During the break, Gu Lu asked Qi Caiwei about not coming to school yesterday and whether quitting the literary society would have any impact.

"I'm not that fragile. I've adjusted myself. Besides, I'm used to this kind of thing." Qi Caiwei patted her chest. "I didn't show you any of my reviews last week. I have to make up for it!"

As mentioned before, Qi Caiwei reads about two or three books a week (including Saturdays and Sundays). Instantly! A flash of lightning passed through Gu Lu's brain, and he seemed to understand a little bit why Qi Caiwei's independent thinking was so poor.

Get used to it - this proves that Qi Caiwei was interrupted many times when she was halfway through her work, and her self-confidence in many aspects was shattered. In addition, Qi's mother had a strong desire for control, so it would be strange if Qi could have the ability to think for herself.

"So what are you teaching? A dance genius, an idiot in other fields?" Gu Lu glanced at Qi Caiwei who was doing exercises.

As a deskmate and friend, what can I do? Gu Lu fell into thought.

Don't waste time thinking. While Gu Lu is thinking, look from the Fog City to the Forty-Nine City——

"President Jian, your mail package."

Passing by the front desk of the publishing house, President Jian heard a female voice.

"Package?" President Jian took it back with doubt. He saw that the sender was from the People's Literature Editorial Department. His doubts became even greater.

He had subscribed to a magazine called People's Literature, but firstly, it should be sent directly to his home, and secondly, it was not the time when the magazine went on sale.

Confused, President Jian took the package back home. When he got home, he opened the package and found a sample issue of May inside.

Anyone who has submitted an article to People's Literature knows that the editorial department publishes a sample issue two months in advance. The difference between the sample issue and the official issue is quite large, and the cover is rather "perfunctory".

"Why send it to me?" President Jian was even more confused, but his doubts were soon resolved because he opened the book, looked at the table of contents, and saw a name that was extremely familiar to him.

"Double Lamps" - Author Gu Lu

"Auspicious Cloud" - Author Gu Lu

Hey, this is amazing. President Jian remembered that about half a month ago, Xiao Gu said he would give him a surprise.

There was a surprise, and it was a big one.

"Rewrite the stories of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?"

"I remember Ruiyun was... lovers finally got married, right?"

Ruiyun is a famous prostitute in Hangzhou with unparalleled beauty and talent, but she only loves the poor scholar Hesheng, who cannot afford a large sum of money to redeem her.

As a result, a scholar came from nowhere and touched Ruiyun's forehead, leaving an indelible ink mark. The mark grew larger and larger, even covering his nose.

From being as beautiful as a flower, she became like a woman with a birthmark. No more customers came, let alone the auction of "virgin son-in-law". He Sheng redeemed Ruiyun after learning about this, and the price was cheap at this time.

Later, He Sheng met the scholar in a restaurant. The scholar admitted that he had used magic to conceal his appearance and could erase the ink stains.

The scholar who knew magic said, "Only the truly talented people in the world can be affectionate and not be swayed by beauty or ugliness. Please follow me back and I will give you a beautiful woman as a gift."

Finally, lovers get married!

"The overall plot has not changed, only the ending has been slightly changed, and the story has completely changed." President Jian exclaimed.

Next up is the dual lights.

After reading both articles, President Jian said, "Double lights are also a minor change, but the minor change in Ruiyun has brought about a bigger change."

"In Xiao Gu's adaptation, Ruiyun also restored her appearance, but the ending is... In comparison, the work has improved in depth." President Jian believes that Shuangdeng is not as good as Pu Songling's original version, but Ruiyun is worse than the original.
