Damn, He's Showing Off

"Great God Xiaoyao! Is the song called Red Bean written by you?"

Ruyi messaged excitedly. Li Changle initially thought it was Wang Siyi, but upon opening it, he saw it was the big-eyed, cute girl he'd met once. He felt a bit disappointed.

"Yes."

"Wow! It really is written by you, Great God Xiaoyao! Is this song a gift for Sister Wanjun?"

"Yes."

"I knew it, I knew it!"

Ruyi typed away, muttering to herself, a benevolent smile on her face, happier than if she'd gotten a boyfriend herself.

Li Changle didn't know what Ruyi knew, but he wasn't in the mood to chat with her. He kept his replies brief, but Ruyi clearly had no intention of letting him off the hook.

"So, Great God Xiaoyao, what was your purpose in writing this song for Sister Wanjun?"

"Is it because Sister Wanjun is making a comeback to the music scene, and you couldn't bear to see her go, so you wrote Red Bean for her?"

Ruyi asked gossipy, her inner gossip flame burning uncontrollably.

"What are you talking about?"

"She wasn't singing anymore, and she wanted to sing again, so I casually wrote her a song..."

Li Changle said dismissively. The girl was alright.

She was just too excitable and liked to ask questions, but since he was free anyway, he decided to chat with her.

"Ah, so that's how it is..."

Ruyi was a little disappointed. It seemed they weren't together yet. Sister Wanjun, keep working hard...

But she couldn't help but admire Li Changle. The song Red Bean was just something he wrote casually?

Then she remembered the poem Lovesickness that had been very popular online a few days ago.

"Then, Great God Xiaoyao, was the five-character quatrain Lovesickness that's so popular online also written by you?"

"Yes."

"And that poem was also written casually?"

"Not exactly. That poem took a bit more effort; it took me a few minutes to write."

Looking at Li Changle's message, Ruyi clenched her fist.

Damn it, he's showing off again!

Li Changle, on the other hand, felt he was just telling the truth. It had taken him a few minutes to decide Lovesickness was the most fitting for the theme.

However, he wasn't too concerned about these things now. Wang Siyi hadn't replied to him all morning, and he couldn't figure out why.

"Ruyi, I have a question for you."

"Okay, okay, tell me!"

Li Changle pondered for a while, organizing his thoughts before typing:

"It's like this, I have a friend..."

"There was this girl who used to chat with him a lot, almost every day. But recently, their chat frequency has decreased. Mainly, the girl doesn't seem to pay as much attention to him anymore. Why do you think that is?"

A relationship problem? Ruyi was taken aback.

She didn't know how to answer this...

Oh dear, how should she answer Great God Xiaoyao? He had finally asked her for help, she couldn't just say she didn't know.

As an editor, she had read plenty of romance novels, sweet stories, and angsty tales. Love and relationships were all traceable in books, right? After some thought, she immediately started typing:

"Great God Xiaoyao, is there a possibility that your friend did something to upset the girl, or said something he shouldn't have?"

Li Changle fell into thought at Ruyi's guess. He carefully reread his chat logs with Wang Siyi, feeling he hadn't said anything excessive.

Most importantly, when Wang Siyi didn't reply for a long time, he felt an itch in his heart, checking his phone every so often. It was quite unbearable...

"I... don't think so."

"Then perhaps the girl has been dealing with some troubles recently and doesn't have the mood to chat with your friend..."

"Why doesn't your friend just ask the girl directly if she's encountered something, and then help her solve it..."

Li Changle suddenly understood, nodding.

Wang Siyi had indeed been very busy lately, promoting her new album. And he seemed to recall her mentioning that the company had no plans to promote it for her.

That's why she was so exhausted. Li Changle opened the music platform again, checking the ranking on the new song charts.

The music platform app was now flooded with promotions for a new song by a female singer named Su Yanying.

This Su Yanying, wasn't she another artist from Xinyi Huyou?

And she was the one who had snatched two of Wang Siyi's songs before. Now she was releasing her album on the same day as Wang Siyi.

Xinyi Huyou's attitude was clear: not only would they suppress Wang Wanjun, but they would also disgust her, making her realize the consequences of disobedience.

He saw Su Yanying's new song debut in the top ten of the new song charts, while Wang Siyi's title track, Red Bean, was barely at the bottom of the list.

The exposure was too low, and there was no promotion. This must have been a blow to Wang Siyi, so it's no wonder she wasn't in the mood to chat with him.

Li Changle felt he had found the reason for Wang Siyi's unhappiness, and then he quickly opened the backend of the Chinese Web Novel Platform.

"I'll update another chapter today, and then ask readers to go listen to a song. That's not too much to ask, right?"

He directly posted a chapter, and then asked for readers. Although Li Changle felt this wouldn't bring much sales to Wang Siyi's new album.

But even an ant's leg is still meat. If he could add a little to her new album sales, it would be something.

In fact, Li Changle didn't know how many readers he actually had. With just one novel, Legend of Sword and Fairy, his followers on the Chinese Web Novel Platform had already reached several million, but he never looked...

As the plot of The Legend of the Condor Heroes unfolded, readers discovered what made this novel different. It was definitely a top-tier martial arts novel.

Many readers who initially couldn't get into it picked it up again with patience and found that The Legend of the Condor Heroes was even better than Legend of Sword and Fairy!

This was because Legend of Sword and Fairy occasionally had filler or repetitive content, but in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, almost no character's dialogue was superfluous.

In other words, the plot development of this novel was very tight, with one event leading seamlessly to the next.

From the sudden change in wind and snow, to the seven masters of Jiangnan and Qiu Chuji's eighteen-year agreement, and then to Guo Jing heading to Jiangnan to keep his promise, all the plot points were so reasonable.

Therefore, The Legend of the Condor Heroes had also brought Li Changle many fans.

Qinghe was already overjoyed. His smile hadn't stopped since The Legend of the Condor Heroes was released.

Looking at the new user readers flowing in from outside the platform every day, and the continuously rising curve reports of reading volume within the platform.

He knew that most of this achievement was brought about by Li Changle's The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

The decision to do everything he could to keep him here was undoubtedly the most important decision of his career.

He wasn't in good shape today. He originally planned to play a few games to de-stress, but he lost three games in a row and didn't even get the first win. His mood got even worse...

The poor author is begging for votes and favorites again. He's had such a terrible day
