CHAPTER 225: CHAPTER 6: THIS ROAD IS BLOCKED

Chen Jingbai’s confidence was unstoppable.

It’s a trait of successful people, yet it’s no match for the shameless golden finger in the world.

Unfortunately, Chen Jingbai was unaware of this. After getting in touch with Chu River, he had already successfully identified her weakness, so he circled back to the main point with three sentences:

"There’s a roast duck place in Beijing that’s quite unique. Want to try it tomorrow?"

Chu River replied without hesitation, "Sure."

Alas, the essence might be the same, but why did Chen Jingbai come off as so considerate? He’s practically a Little Yellow’s twin!

Chu Fa Da secretly shook her leg, a mischievous smile appearing at the corner of her mouth—

If someone’s so eager to play the little brother, wouldn’t it be a bit too much if she didn’t accept?

Besides, it’s not her fault for wanting to be bad; it’s just that this part of Chang Geng is simply too thoughtful!

She made a bold decision in her heart, feeling fortunate that Chang Geng didn’t come along.

...

Meanwhile, Chen Jingbai was completely oblivious to his own status, instead earnestly pondering—

He might be infatuated with Little He at first sight!

Although they hadn’t known each other long, and their meeting wasn’t exactly conventional, he had inexplicably developed a liking after just a few conversations, and now he understood Chu River more deeply...

The girl in front of him was rational, clear-headed, smart, and bold, unlike any other girl—yesterday during dinner, her focus was solely on the food, not prying into his income as a big shot nor making any material demands...

Chen Jingbai’s ears turned slightly red as he thought—

How can there be such an outstanding girl in the world?

Reflecting on how they met because of her breakup, he felt increasingly sour inside and even a bit angry—

That ex-boyfriend named Su Tiankuo was too much!

If he dared to bother Little He again, he would definitely make him pay!

Breaking up was the right choice!

...

Of course, although Chu River seemed not to be interested in dating at the moment, it didn’t matter. He would strive to be considerate and try to let Little He see how great he was.

For instance, he would take her for a good meal every day. Once she got used to it, maybe she would give him a chance to pursue her!

Chen Jingbai was full of confidence.

At this moment, through electronic devices, their future behavior patterns strangely overlapped.

Sadly, the central theme was miles apart, hard to look at directly.

...

Chen Jingbai was also new to pursuing someone, so he couldn’t help feeling a bit uneasy, and after finishing the topic, he quickly felt guilty and switched the topic:

"By the way, didn’t you say you also want to try writing a novel? Got any ideas?"

"Need me to teach you how to register or something?"

Chu River lazily tapped away on the keyboard with one hand, while the assistant on the screen worked hard, automatically uploading various information, turning her effortlessly into a registered author.

Chu Fa Da was triumphant:

"No need, I’ve already registered. I’ll write an opening for you to see. By then, if I surpass you, don’t cry."

Chen Jingbai chuckled, thinking her arrogance was rather cute, so he became more dazed:

"Okay, I’ll try not to cry."

...

For beginners, writing an opening would take at least several hours; some might not even produce ten thousand words in a week.

After agreeing, Chen Jingbai carefully organized his new book outline—Little He just said she wasn’t too keen to see it, proving his writing lacked appeal, so he needed to refine his style and write something irresistible.

If he really wrote something brilliant, and Little He coquetted for more...

Sigh.

Chen Jingbai sweetly yet troubledly thought: When the time comes, should I refuse?

Inspiration started to stir and surge wildly.

...

The new book outline was already completed. For a talent like Chen Jingbai, the outline didn’t need to exceed 3000 words. The true inspiration was hidden within the lines during writing.

Like wind and rain, elusive.

Being too detailed would confine his thinking, so all he needed to do now was perfect the characters and adjust the pacing.

The new book was called "Phoenix Platform"

[On the Phoenix Platform, the phoenix roams, the phoenix is gone, leaving the platform empty with the river flowing by.

The Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty was deposed, stripped of his spirit root and spirit bone and confined to the Phoenix Platform, an abandoned forbidden land of the former dynasty.

Yet, in this deep palace, the Phoenix Life Fire was unexpectedly ignited, eventually achieving Nirvana and entering the Spirit Realm.
