It Looked Like a Beautiful Misunderstanding
Gao Moumou: "Isn't that obvious? Of course I know the online novel authors. I'm not an alien; I read online novels all the time. I even have several reading accounts specifically for voting and subscribing to my favorite authors."
"..." Song Shuhang chuckled dryly, then asked, "So, are you interested in writing online novels?"
When Gao Moumou saw this, his heart skipped a beat, and his whole body stiffened.
As mentioned earlier, Gao Moumou's interest lies in writing online novels—but he never lets people he knows read what he writes.
For Gao Moumou, his online articles were like his private diary, and he would feel embarrassed if people he knew saw them.
In particular, Gao Moumou's pen name is very childish and cringeworthy. He has written many novels with a very childish and cringeworthy style in the past, which would be a real black mark on his past if seen by people who know him.
[What does Song Shuhang mean by asking this? Does he know I'm secretly writing a novel?] Gao Moumou wondered to himself.
No, I've always been very good at hiding it! Especially when I'm secretly writing in the dorm, I always make sure to hide on my upper bunk and avoid my roommates' gaze. There's no way I could be discovered!
After thinking for a moment, Gao Moumou replied, "No interest. Why do you ask? Shuhang, do you want to write a novel?"
"No, no, it was just a sudden thought," Song Shuhang replied quickly.
Gao Moumou has no interest in writing novels, then the "Yu Jiaojiao" he added probably isn't the Pretty Fishman Jiaojiao, right?
Perhaps it's a coincidence that her online name and nickname are also 'Yu Jiaojiao'?
Song Shuhang felt a little relieved—because, thinking about it, Yu Jiaojiao suddenly grabbed an author to write, locked him in a dark room, and made him write 20,000 words a day, or he wouldn't get any food.
Then, the author is Gao Moumou... How is Song Shuhang going to face his friend?
In particular, Yu Jiaojiao also planned to have this author write a script and make a Xiao Dian. How will Song Shuhang, as both an investor and one of the actors in the film, face this author?
Anyway, it's good that it wasn't Gao Moumou.
"Shuhang, you always ask strange questions. Have you been reading too many books and turned into a bookworm?" Gao Moumou. "I'll stop arguing with you for now. Let me flirt with this 'Yu Jiaojiao' girl and try to get her to send over a pretty picture. If she's pleasing to the eye, I'll give you her chat account and give you a chance to win her over."
Before Song Shuhang could respond, Gao Moumou quickly switched to the chat window with 'Yu Jiaojiao'.
This girl, Yu Jiaojiao, sent a message three minutes ago. "Are you the author of <*****>, Naiqi? [shy emoji]"
Gao Moumou: "That's right, that's me!"
"Naiqi, I've been following your books~~ They're really interesting. Your pen name is interesting too," Yu Jiaojiao added.
Gao Moumou: "[Laughing emoji] Jiaojiao, your username is quite interesting too."
"Naiqi, are you from the Jiangnan Region China?" Yu Jiaojiao asked again.
Gao Moumou: "Ah, that's right. It's written on my personal profile~~ What about you, Jiaojiao?"
Yu Jiaojiao: "I live near the Eastern Sea, hehe."
"Near the Eastern Sea? What a coincidence, I just returned from a trip Eastern Sea not long ago." Gao Moumou typed skillfully on the keyboard.
In just a few words, Gao Moumou had already begun to get closer to Yu Jiaojiao. Of course, Gao had no intention of developing an online romance.
He's a man with a girlfriend, after all, and in reality, he wouldn't flirt with other girls. His feelings for Mei Yi are very strong—this is evident from the Mysterious Island, where he risked his life to save his girlfriend, only to be captured by the eagle himself. Although Gao Moumou has now lost that part of his memory.
Unable to flirt with girls in real life, Gao Moumou resorted to flirting online. Furthermore, he wouldn't use his personal account to flirt, only his author account.
Practice makes perfect.
Gao Moumou's online flirting skills have unknowingly reached a very advanced level.
After chatting with Yu Jiaojiao for a while, with Gao Moumou's cooperation, the two quickly became "having a pleasant conversation".
Finally, Gao Moumou took the opportunity to ask Yu Jiaojiao to "take a beautiful picture of me".
"No problem, wait a moment, I'll flip through the photo album." Yu Jiaojiao answered very readily.
Soon, Yu Jiaojiao sent over a beautiful photo of a stunning woman.
The photo was taken in a beautiful courtyard with a small pond. The sun was shining brightly, and a woman with wavy black hair sat sideways by the pond. Her features were exquisite, like an elf's, with a hint of mixed-race beauty. She had light blue eyes and skin as white as jade. She wore a long skirt, the hem of which was submerged in the water.
The beautiful woman was holding a small object in her hands, but it was too far away to see what it was.
This photo is indeed of Yu Jiaojiao.
However, the stunning beauty in the photo is Yu Jiaojiao's... mother. Her mother is Fifth-Grade Mermaid Transformation, and she is exceptionally beautiful.
As for Yu Jiaojiao —the indistinct object held in her mother's hands—that was her.
When Gao Moumou saw the photo, he was stunned. This girl is so beautiful!
"Is it an artistic photo? Or is it photoshopped?" Gao Moumou copied the photo and quickly forwarded it to his friend Li Yangde.
Gao Moumou: "Yangde, are you still there? Let me see the girl in this photo. Is it photoshopped?"
"Wait a moment," Li Yangde replied.
Within ten seconds, Li Yangde quickly replied, "There's no sign of it being photoshopped, but the picture itself is almost too beautiful. Either the photoshopping technique is so good that even I can't tell, or the girl in the picture is naturally very beautiful, and combined with the photographer's legendary photography skills, it achieved such a perfect effect."
Gao Moumou chuckled and said, "So, it's very likely true? She's even prettier than a celebrity! I'll send a copy to Tubo and Shuhang too. This is a girl I just added online. Want me to introduce you?"
"No need, my computer is enough," Li Yangde replied readily.
Gao Moumou: "..."
Then, he sent a copy to both Song Shuhang and Tubo: "Shuhang, this is the photo that 'Yu Jiaojiao' sent earlier. What do you think? Isn't it pretty? Aren't you tempted?"
After receiving the photo, Song Shuhang looked at it and realized it wasn't the half-fish, half-body Yu Jiaojiao. It seemed it really was just a beautiful misunderstanding?
At this moment, Gao Moumou said with a smile, "Would you like your brother to introduce you to her?"
"No need, I appreciate your kindness." Song Shuhang smiled gently. He had no time for romance right now!
