Always Been Quiet

Li Changle felt a little helpless. This woman had been acting strangely ever since she got drunk last night. Even after sobering up...

She still seemed drunk, acting pitiful at the slightest provocation and even acting spoiled towards him sometimes!

Couldn't she consider whether she could handle it?

"Aren't the latest chapters on the Chinese Web Novel Platform app? Just look there."

Li Changle replied without looking up.

But Wang Siyi, beside him, pointed at the latest chapters on the computer:

"I want to read this!"

"Hey, don't mess around. I need to write, I need to build up my manuscript."

"You already have a hundred chapters saved. I don't care, I want to read it!"

Wang Siyi wasn't just acting spoiled anymore; she was becoming unreasonable. Li Changle was at his wit's end.

What was wrong with this woman? Couldn't she just snap out of it and go back to being the cool, aloof goddess she used to be?

"These saved chapters are useful. I won't have time to write if I go traveling."

"What!? You're going traveling?"

Wang Siyi was shocked. If he was going traveling, what would happen to her? Her leg wasn't healed yet, and who would cook for her?

She suddenly remembered the dream she had at noon. If he left, what would be the point of her staying here...

"Oh, don't be so jumpy. I didn't say I'm leaving now, it's just an idea. We'll talk about when I'll go later..."

"Oh, I see..."

Wang Siyi breathed a sigh of relief. However, she couldn't bring herself to be happy. If he left, what would happen to her...

She would return to a life where no one cared about her, and she'd never taste that delicious Chicken Soup again...

Li Changle looked at Wang Siyi, who was in a bad mood beside him, and assumed it was because of the plot of Legend of Sword and Fairy.

Sigh, women are so troublesome. He couldn't do anything about her.

"Give me your phone."

He mimicked the tone Wang Siyi had used when she asked for his phone last time.

Wang Siyi blinked, unsure why he wanted her phone. And that tone, it sounded so familiar?

She suddenly remembered that this was exactly how she had spoken to him last time.

This guy was definitely doing it on purpose. He deserved a beating. Still, she handed him her phone.

Taking Wang Siyi's phone, he downloaded the Chinese Web Novel Platform Author Assistant app and logged into his account.

He could see his saved manuscript on his phone too. By letting her read on her phone, he could continue writing on his computer without any delays.

Li Changle gave himself a mental pat on the back for his cleverness.

Wang Siyi stared blankly at the Chinese Web Novel Platform app on her phone. This guy, was he really that trusting of her? Wasn't he afraid she'd just publish all his saved chapters or delete them all?

She glanced at the author's name on the phone. He had actually given himself the pen name Li Xiaoyao. How shameless, she huffed.

"Remember, just read the novel. Don't click publish or delete, it'll cause big trouble..."

Although Li Changle knew Wang Siyi wasn't that kind of person, he was worried about the "what ifs." If she clicked by mistake or something, it would be disastrous.

Wang Siyi nodded and began reading the novel seriously. She was probably the second person on the entire internet to know the latest plot of Legend of Sword and Fairy 1...

The thought made her very happy, and her earlier mood was tossed aside.

She read about Li Xiaoyao finding Ling'er, and Ling'er realizing she wasn't a snake demon but a Descendant of Nuwa.

Then, as the main cast began to meet and chat about the future, she felt as if she were part of it all.

I, Li Xiaoyao, will be the greatest hero in the world. I will uphold justice and be remembered in history.

I, Lin Yueru, will make Lin Family Fort the greatest sect in the world. I will be the sect leader and compete with this scoundrel for the top spot.

I, Zhao Ling'er, will ensure all citizens of Nanzhao Kingdom live in eternal happiness!

I, Liu Jinyuan, will shed my blood and sacrifice my life to help His Majesty consolidate the Tang Dynasty Empire.

I, Tang Yu, will be as loyal and steadfast as my adoptive father in defending the country.

I, Anu, will be happy and eat every day...

Reading this, Wang Siyi felt everything was beautiful and perfect.

However, as the novel's plot deepened, Wang Siyi quickly lost her smile...

Smile gradually disappearing.JPG

Anu was buried alive, Ling'er was suppressed in the Demon Locking Tower, Cai Die, Liu Jinyuan's wife, turned into a butterfly to save him; Liu Jinyuan was taken away, and then Lin Yueru died in the Demon Locking Tower...

Wang Siyi burst into tears, murmuring, "How could this happen? Why did Yueru have to die..."

Good question! Li Changle didn't know why Lin Yueru had to die either.

"Why did you write it like that? It's so upsetting to read..."

"Upsetting? Good, it's supposed to be upsetting!"

"???"

Wang Siyi was completely bewildered.

Li Changle looked at Wang Siyi and felt a bit awkward as he explained, "Lin Yueru's position is very awkward. She likes Li Xiaoyao, no matter what Li Xiaoyao does. Even if Li Xiaoyao liked Lin Yueru back, Li Xiaoyao is already married to Ling'er, and Li Xiaoyao and Ling'er truly loved each other before. So, having her die to save Ling'er makes perfect sense and elevates the character..."

Li Changle didn't know how else to explain it, so he just said it based on his own understanding.

Wang Siyi nodded thoughtfully, seeming to genuinely agree with Li Changle's explanation.

Her mood finally calmed down a bit. This novel was so good. She wondered how his mind worked to write such captivating things. Just now, seeing Lin Yueru's tragic death, she had actually cried.

It was the first time she had shed tears over a fictional character. If she felt this way, how much more would others?

She gave Li Changle a deep look, but then immediately thought of something else.

This novel of yours looks like a tragedy. Will the ending be very sad?

"Well..."

Li Changle looked conflicted, feeling like he shouldn't spoil it.

"Is it really going to be a tragedy?"

Wang Siyi asked uncertainly.

"Mm... Strictly speaking, this novel's ending is meant to be tragic..."

"How tragic? Lin Yueru dying isn't enough?"

"Not enough..."

Li Changle answered, steeling himself.

"You're not going to write Ling'er to death too, are you?"

Wang Siyi said, half-jokingly.

Then she saw Li Changle opposite her looking conflicted, as if considering how to answer her...

Wang Siyi's heart tightened. Was he really planning to kill off the heroine too?

"Did Ling'er really die in the end?"

Wang Siyi asked uncertainly.

"Mm... However, I can explain this..."

"What about the Wine Sword Immortal, Liu Jinyuan, Anu, and Tang Yu Xiaobao?"

Wang Siyi ignored him and threw out another killer question.

"Ah... This..."

How could she have asked about all the characters who had already met their demise...

Wang Siyi immediately knew the answer. She felt a sense of despair. The world was not worth it.

"Just tell me, who else is still alive? Is it just Li Xiaoyao left? Or are you planning to kill Li Xiaoyao too..."

"That wouldn't go that far. Li Xiaoyao definitely won't die. Strictly speaking, Yiru is also still alive. Oh, Yiru is Li Xiaoyao and Ling'er's daughter..."

Hearing this, Wang Siyi felt that she shouldn't have started reading this novel at all. People who finished it probably wouldn't recover for at least ten days to half a month.

Let alone her, who knew the ending in advance.

Wang Siyi huffed and returned to her bed, grabbed a pillow, and threw it at Li Changle.

"Go to hell!"

She felt suffocated and incredibly upset. She shouldn't have read the next hundred chapters!

Watching Wang Siyi sitting there, pouting, after having just been hit on the back of the head with a pillow, Li Changle felt a little wronged.

He really shouldn't have spoiled it...

People who spoil things never get a good ending...

He had no mood to write anymore. Seeing Wang Siyi sitting there, Li Changle looked over, and she turned her head away, refusing to let him see her.

Fine, she was angry. Women were so troublesome. She was the one who wanted to know the ending, and now that she knew, she was upset and blaming him.

He had told her it was not good to spoil things!

Since he had no mood to write, he suddenly thought of something and rushed out.

Wang Siyi saw him run out. She didn't know where he was going and wanted to follow him, but her leg was injured.

Just as she was about to stand up to go see, she saw Li Changle return to the room with a guitar. It looked like he was going to play it?

"What are you doing? Do you even know how to play the guitar?"

"You look down on people? I studied guitar in college, and I even had a band..."

He said to Wang Siyi with a smug look.

Li Changle could also play the guitar; this was something she clearly hadn't expected. She had initially thought he was a complete novice when it came to music, not even recognizing himself...

"When did you buy the guitar?"

Wang Siyi asked in surprise. This guitar hadn't been in the room before. It also wasn't the one he used frequently, and this guitar was very new.

"I bought it before you left last time. I originally planned to try writing a song, but before the guitar even arrived, you were gone..."

"You can write songs too!?"

Wang Siyi asked, astonished.

"I told you not to underestimate people. I was in a band in college..."

The quality of college bands varied; few could write truly great songs. It was rare, but definitely not impossible...

Wang Siyi wasn't unfamiliar with college bands. Most of them lacked the ability to write their own songs.

However, hearing that he had intended to write a song for her before made her heart feel warm. They hadn't known each other for long back then.

"Listen, I'm going to sing you a song now. This song was specifically written for Lin Yueru in Legend of Sword and Fairy. I was even planning to use it as an insert song if Legend of Sword and Fairy were ever adapted into a TV drama..."

Li Changle muttered indignantly, clearly displeased with Wang Siyi's skepticism.

Wang Siyi chuckled. This guy really knew how to brag. Putting aside whether Legend of Sword and Fairy could even be made into a TV drama, he was already thinking about insert songs.

"Look at you, so capable. Why don't you fly to the sky? Songs used as TV drama insert songs can't be of low quality. Do you have that level of skill?"

"Of course, I do! Just listen. I'll sing it for you now."

"Alright. I'm listening..."

Li Changle tested the guitar's sound; the tuning was normal.

Clearing his throat, he began to play the guitar.

This guy really could play the guitar, and his skill was quite good. Wang Siyi also knew how to play the guitar. Just by looking, she could tell Li Changle's skill was no worse than hers.

Accompanied by the melodious sound of the guitar, a melancholic melody began, followed by Li Changle's singing voice.

The empty street scene, wanting someone to confide in Making this decision, loneliness is my neighbor Our love is like the scenery you passed by Always moving forward, but your footsteps never stop for me The love I give you has always been quiet In exchange for the occasional care you give It's clearly a movie for three But I can never have a name You say love is like clouds ...
