Chapter 287 No Deletion or Modification
Steak, seafood prawns, sushi... Miss Gu had everything she wanted to eat.

"Eat less fruit and drink less beverages. They always take up space in your stomach." Gu Lu complained.

"Don't worry, I'll put drinks and fruits in the other stomach." Gu Jiayu held Hami melon in her left hand and watermelon in her right hand.

Actually?

I don't believe you, you little girl is very bad!
About forty minutes later, Gu Jiayu sat there stiffly like a bloated human-shaped balloon.

"Brother, my battle is over." Gu Jiayu said, "It's up to you now."

In terms of combat effectiveness, Gu Lu is still slightly better.

Both were round and bulging, moving slowly outwards.

Because Gu Lu needs to take care of his stomach, he can only eat a big meal like this once in a while.

Wandering on the streets, eating and drinking his fill, Gu Lu suddenly felt a sense of solid happiness.

After walking for a few minutes, Gu Jiayu suddenly spoke up, "Brother, what if I don't do well in the exam?"

Even if her brother didn't say a word, the heroine couldn't hold it in. After all, she was a little girl, and she needed a way to vent after being anxious for so long.

"If you didn't do well in the exam, then you didn't do well. Do you want me to give you a gift to comfort you just because you didn't do well in the exam?" Gu Lu said.

"No..." Gu Jiayu said, "If I didn't do well in the exam, would you be disappointed in me and think that I have embarrassed you and am not worthy of being your sister?"

Is the pressure on the heroine about grades so exaggerated? Hearing this, Gu Lu quickly organized his words in his mind.

"What a weird thing to say. Whether you do well in the exam or not is all up to my sister." Gu Lu said, "She is also very amazing. She is the only one who noticed the change in my personality. Can the test scores change this?"

"What's so great about it? After you started writing novels, your personality has become very different from before," said Gu Jiayu.

"Then do you still remember what I looked like before?" Gu Lu said.

"Of course," Gu Jiayu said, "Brother, you used to have a typical Aquarius personality, very cheerful and optimistic, with a strong desire for knowledge."

"Oh, I don't remember it very well myself." Gu Lu said, "Then Jiayu, you have to help me remember it. Because without the past, there would be no present."

The article hates life, Gu Jiayu also knows the suffering that her brother had gone through before. She would not be so good at writing.

So she nodded in agreement hastily, and even patted her chest to prove her determination, "Don't worry, I will definitely not forget."

Gu Lu stopped and was about to cross the road. There was a traffic light ahead.

But… people in Fog City are always reckless when crossing the road. They don’t obey traffic rules when there are no cars, and they don’t obey them when there are cars either.

"Do you know why I hope you can be admitted to No. 8 Middle School?" Gu Lu saw that the heroine was still under psychological pressure, so he tried to relieve it.

"Because No. 8 High School is the best high school in Fog City." Gu Jiayu responded as a matter of course.

Looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, Gu Lu said calmly, "That's secondary. The main reason is the legend about your brother in No. 8 Middle School."

This series of actions left Gu Jiayu speechless.

After they crossed the road, Gu Jiayu spoke again, "Brother, you are becoming more and more narcissistic."

"What narcissism? This is called shining self-confidence!"

"elder brother."

"What's wrong?"

"Thank you so much, thank you so much, my brother is you, not anyone else."

Earlier, Gu Lu even thought of using a backdoor to get her into No. 8 Middle School, but he resolved the issue in a joyful and humorous way. Gu Jiayu's anxiety was greatly reduced, and part of it came from her mother, but I won't talk about that now.

The two little ones returned to Jiafu Garden.

"Xiao Gu is back. Oh, Second Sister Gu is here too."

Passing by the Frog Fish Head Shop, Mr. Lei at the door greeted him. This is normal, Mr. Lei will greet anyone he knows.

A large part of the store's business is repeat customers, and on the basis that the food tastes good, it is helpful to greet them more often.

It seems that when Gu Lu went to eat there before, he often saw Lao Lei drinking with customers. Gu Lu doesn't drink, so Boss Lei would give him two plates of vegetarian dishes.

"Wait a minute." Boss Lei ran into the store and came out a few seconds later carrying a white plastic bag, his beer belly swinging.

"This is the pickled cabbage that Gu's second sister likes to eat. Last time, she said she liked it. Take some back." Boss Lei handed it over. In the plastic bag were pickled cabbage and pickled cowpea.

"How much is this?" Gu Lu said.

"Kimchi is only worth a few bucks." Boss Lei waved his hand, "It's so hot, it's good to eat with rice."

"Thank you, Uncle Lei!" Gu Jiayu thanked him sweetly, "Uncle Lei is so thoughtful. I just mentioned it casually last time, and Uncle Lei remembered it. No wonder the business is so good!"

He is very good at treating female elders. Look at this, Gu Lu has only brought Gu Jiayu to the store twice.

Carrying the kimchi, the two went home and had an unexpected gain.

When she got home, Gu Jiayu rushed to the balcony first.

Soon after, a voice came, "Brother, why did your flowers die again?"

"What do you mean by again? Be more serious." Gu Lu turned on the air conditioner and began to make the place where he would sleep that night. "Oh, be more serious. This is the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh time. Seven times will kill you." Gu Jiayu said.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Jiayu, I put your towel, toothbrush and other things in the old place for you."

Gu Lu arranged the sofa in the living room and took out his sister's toiletries. He had bought a new set of toiletries, including slippers.

By the end of this year, Gu Jiayu will have a perfect room.

King Guru was busy, and the female warrior was not idle either. She went from the balcony to the kitchen to put the kimchi. Then she opened the refrigerator as usual. Every time Gu Jiayu came, she would check her brother's refrigerator to see if there was any food that had expired and was forgotten to be thrown away.

"Brother! I've said this many times..." Miss Gu, who was carrying half a bag of sausages, saw King Gollum making a phone call and suddenly stopped talking.

That’s right, Gu Lu received an international long-distance call.

"I understand what you said, Professor Chen. This is also for the overall situation." Gu Lu said, "But I don't agree."

The team leader on the phone felt relaxed after hearing the first half of the sentence, but he never expected the situation to take a sharp turn for the worse afterwards.

After a moment of silence, Professor Chen asked, "What is the reason for your disagreement?"

"This is only the version published in Spain, which is equivalent to a special edition. When it is released in China, or translated into English in the future, the preface will be retained." Professor Chen appealed to the audience's emotions and reason, and also told the story of how the book was published in a Spanish avant-garde literary magazine.

Why should he refuse? Gu Lu thought a lot and finally said, "I don't like my writing to be deleted or modified."

This plain sentence made Professor Chen silent.

He thought of what he had said to Moya before, "Mr. Moya, you should know that genius writers all have strong personalities. Deleting the work..."

He really got it right!
Judging from Gu Lu's firm tone on the other end of the phone, Professor Chen felt that there was no room for negotiation.

In this case, Professor Chen did not persuade him. "Respect the author's decision. Gu Lu's work "The Immortal Fugitive" has made a very outstanding contribution to the cultural exchange between China and the West. The country will definitely commend it."

Is the recognition money or a certificate? Gu Lu prefers the latter, as he is not short of money at the moment.

"When the exchange group returns home, they will definitely bring gifts from Spain. Is it okay to send them to the address of Fog City No. 8 Middle School?" Professor Chen asked.

"No problem." Gu Lu agreed immediately.

The two hung up the phone and the other party did not agree. Although Professor Chen was surprised, he could understand that talented writers all have personalities.

As for Gu Lu, he felt much more relaxed.

The original text of "When the Stars Shine" has no preface. In short, it was added by Gu Lu on purpose. He said before that he would kneel down if there was any problem, but if he really wanted to delete or revise it, he would rather not post Dragonfly.

The main reason was that what Xu said was true, so Gu Lu was a little willful for once.

While on the phone, Gu Lu took advantage of the heroine's inattention and threw away the sausage that had expired a week ago.

Destroy the evidence!
Gu Lu avoided the nagging and then took out a piece of A4 paper from the drawer.

It is not an ordinary piece of paper, but a goal set by King Gollum a few months ago.

[First half development plan
1. Publish another work that sells copies.

2. Publish another collection of short stories.

3. If there is an opportunity, you can expand your overseas reputation.

4. Actively participate in community activities. ]
He ticked one, three, and four.

Actively participate in community interactions. On the one hand, you want to do something useless, and on the other hand, you want to be exposed to more other things, which can better trigger the synthesis series.

The publication company should complete it well.

"Actually, the short stories I serialized in Science Fiction World are enough to fill a book," Gu Lu pondered.

However, the domestic science fiction market is really cold. Even though Gu Lu's "Maintaining Humanity" and "Maintaining God" caused quite a stir and even had an impact overseas, no publishing house came to them.

"This newly triggered Gothic Queen, hurry up and synthesize it. Horror-themed works are easier to publish." Gu Lu muttered.

I immediately started writing the plan for the second half of the year. First of all, publishing a collection of short stories was again included.

Then there’s publishing a best-selling book!
"This bestseller..."

"A Bouquet for the Deer" is Gu Lu's novel that is ready to be published.

That's right, Algernon in Flowers for Algernon is the experimental mouse. Gu Lu named the mouse Xiaolu, which he had named at the National Animal Experiment Center.

Recording, Gu Lu also has a goal!
One day or two passed, and it was the end of June, when No. 8 Middle School received its results and had a holiday.

"Director Hu, isn't this slogan too frivolous?" The head of the school's party propaganda department was embarrassed.

[No. 8 Middle School, No. 8 Middle School, forever No. 8 Middle School! ]
It's too plain and simple.

"This cannot be changed." Director Hu responded, "No. 8 Middle School, No. 8 Middle School, the double affirmation represents our No. 8 Middle School's determination to move forward on the path of educating people for the Party and cultivating talents for the country."

"Forever No. 8 Middle School represents our determination to build a school with spiritual appeal and educational originality. The determination is eternal!" Director Hu analyzed casually, "In addition, this slogan was chosen by student Xiao Gu."

It's so long, are you doing reading comprehension here? The last sentence is the key!
"I understand." The head of the Party Propaganda Department took another look at the slogan of the event, and it seemed... it was pretty good upon closer inspection.
