After deciding to write a novel, Lin Zichen spent the following days brainstorming the beginning.
As for the setting, just apply reality directly.
The plot would be a patchwork of various novels he had read in his past life, plus some everyday experiences with Shen Qinghan.
The only thing worth considering was how to design the female lead’s character?
Temporarily, she’d be a female genius.
But what about her personality?
It couldn’t just replicate Shen Qinghan’s, could it?
How could a genius be so timid?
Lin Zichen pondered over this problem for a whole week.
Finally, on a quiet night, he succeeded in finalizing the characters of both the male and female leads.
Male Lead: Handsome-looking, weak in power, but with a very sly personality, cunning and deceitful, base and shameless, lecherous, and often taking advantage of the girl next door, who’s the female lead.
Female Lead: A genius, tsundere, has the right set of principles, a bit stubborn, appears cold on the outside but is actually craving the male lead’s affection on the inside.
The story’s main thread: In the early stages, the male lead is weak and survives by relying on the protection of the childhood friend female lead, eventually surpassing her in strength and in turn protecting her; during this time, their feelings for each other warm up, and the lovers eventually become spouses.
It’s a very clichéd story, one that many readers are tired of.
But the good thing is that it’s easy to write, no need for plotting, he could just sit in front of the computer and type away haphazardly.
After determining the characteristics of the male and female leads, Lin Zichen immediately started typing the beginning of the story.
It took about three hours to write a 6,000-word opening, which he then posted directly to the website before turning off the lights and going to bed.
The next day, when he woke up,
Lin Zichen opened the writer’s assistant app and found that he had received a contract offer from the website.
During breakfast, he told his parents about it.
His parents were stunned at first; getting a contract the first time writing a book, you’re joking, right?
After a moment of regaining their composure, the couple praised Lin Zichen’s writing talent, saying he had the makings of a great author and that he truly was the son of two writers.
“Great writer, write well, and once your book has more words, Mom will recommend it to the reader groups.”
“Dad will also help you promote it; I know many author friends, and I’ll ask them to recommend your book when the time comes,” said Zhang Wanxin and Lin Yansheng, smiling at Lin Zichen.
A few days later, on a Saturday afternoon.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were doing interval sprints on the road, training their speed and endurance for running.
After finishing, while relaxing their muscles on a bench, Shen Qinghan suddenly asked with curiosity:
“Zi Chen, I heard from Aunt Xin that you’ve written an online novel with the two of us as the main characters. Is that true?”
“Yep, it’s true.”
“Zi Chen, I want to see it…”
“Sure, the title is ‘Green Plum: The Little White Face Behind the Goddess.’ It’s posted on Qidian Chinese Network. Just search for it, and you’ll find it,” Lin Zichen said without embarrassment, directly telling Shen Qinghan the name of his book.
On hearing such a title, Shen Qinghan blinked.
What kind of title was that?
It was so weird!
But… she really wanted to read it!
Thinking this, Shen Qinghan immediately picked up her phone, enjoying the massage from Lin Zichen while eagerly starting to read his novel.
However, she hadn’t read for long when her face turned red.
The novel’s female lead was named Lin Zihan, a female genius described as having fair skin, beautiful looks, and long legs, sporting a cold face all day long, with a very domineering aura.
Reading about such a female lead made her feel embarrassed.
After all, in reality, she was just an introverted little scaredy-cat, not domineering at all.
She could not continue reading after a while.
It wasn’t that she didn’t enjoy it, but Lin Zichen was right beside her, and she felt awkward savoring it.
She thought she would wait until she got home and then secretly enjoy it in her room at night.
About twenty minutes later.
The massage was over.
Xiao Chen and Shen Qinghan rushed home together.
They hadn’t been running for long when Shen Qinghan suddenly stopped and clenched her legs together, urgently needing to use the restroom.
However, there weren’t any restrooms nearby, which really troubled her.
Seeing that she was truly desperate, Xiao Chen said to her, “Don’t just stand there being foolish, go behind that tree over there to take care of it. I’ll keep watch, and no one will come.”
“Urinating in public is so uncultured…”
Shen Qinghan hesitated and fidgeted, unable to let go.
In fact, at that moment, she wasn’t concerned about being uncultured at all, she just felt too embarrassed to urinate by the roadside with Xiao Chen present.
Xiao Chen, unaware of her thoughts, said indifferently, “You’re doing a good thing, fertilizing the tree, how is that uncultured?”
“But…”
“No buts, if you keep hesitating, you might end up wetting your pants.”
“Then you must keep watch for me, make sure no one comes.”
Unable to hold it any longer, Shen Qinghan let go of her inhibitions, threw out those words, and quickly ran behind the tree with her legs pressed together to relieve herself.
She was truly frustrated with her own body, which often had sudden urges to urinate, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
About three minutes later.
Shen Qinghan walked out from behind the tree, her pretty face as red as a ripe peach, seemingly ready to drip juice with a pinch.
Knowing she was embarrassed, Xiao Chen pretended as if nothing had happened and jogged home with her.
He had grown accustomed to Shen Qinghan’s frequent urgent need to urinate.
After all, counting from the time they were both babies until now, he had been peed on by Shen Qinghan no less than a hundred times.
Before long, both of them returned home.
After taking a shower and finishing her meal, Shen Qinghan reviewed a few test papers in her room, and when she saw it was about time, she turned off the lights, crawled into bed, snuggled under the covers, and lay on her side to read the novel Xiao Chen had written on her mobile phone.
When she reached a sweet interaction between the male and female protagonists, her pretty face unconsciously revealed an auntie’s smile, and she let out a silly giggle without realizing it.
In another room separated by two walls.
Xiao Chen had just finished exercising and showering, and was sitting on his bed browsing news on his mobile phone.
Suddenly, with his superhuman senses, in the quiet of the night, he faintly heard a silly laugh coming from the next room.
Recognizing it as Shen Qinghan’s voice, he was puzzled—what was she laughing silly about in her room instead of sleeping at this late hour?
He just wondered briefly and didn’t dwell on it too much.
Shaking his head, he continued browsing the news on his phone.
As he scrolled, his eyes suddenly widened at a news piece related to gigantic mutant rats.
And it was local news from Shanhai City.
He immediately opened the news and quickly skimmed through the content.
He then learned that just two hours earlier, a gigantic mutant rat had attacked a cold storage facility for Exotic Beast Meat on the outskirts of town.
Fortunately, the cold storage was guarded by a Mechanically Modified Human who swiftly killed the sudden attacker, preventing significant losses.
After reading the news, Xiao Chen went to a specialized forum to search for related content.
Soon, he found a on-site video.
The gigantic mutant rat that attacked the cold storage facility was enormous, and judging by the comparison with the Mechanically Modified Human, it was over five meters long.
At the start, the Mechanically Modified Human engaged in a physical fight with the monstrous rat.
It was losing, got bitten in half in one bite.
The upper body flew off, while the lower body was gripped in the rat’s maw being torn apart.
However, it didn’t die and was still alive.
It immediately abandoned the lower body and activated the backup hidden energy source, blowing the gigantic mutant rat up on the spot.
To be able to live without the lower half of the body and even self-destruct to kill the enemy—that’s the power of technology…
Musing over this, Xiao Chen soon became lost in thought.
Why are there more gigantic mutant rats appearing?
How many of them are actually hiding in Shanhai City?
And with such enormous sizes when adult, where on earth could they be hiding to stay undetected by humans all this time?
