Unscientific Love

"That's a small breakthrough!"

Ao Ye cheered himself up.

Next, he looked at the data on the writer's assistant:

Total number of favorites: 30394

Yesterday's subscriptions: 924

Average order value: 503

High-end order: 2451

Total word count: 1,277,000

The power of accumulation over time.

He then approached the editor and reported the book's data. The editor replied: Okay.

"I just saw that you reached 500 average views a few days ago. Romance stories aren't as popular as they were a few years ago. What's popular lately are ambiguous stories with a bit of fantasy, like Cao Cao's or something."

[Ao Ye]: Is the background fantasy or period drama? Modern backgrounds are hard to handle.

So this is what everyone's appetite has become.

[Editor's Note]: The fantasy/xianxia genre should have a higher level of romantic ambiguity; urban settings are not allowed, or alternatively, cyberpunk cities, supernatural cities, or wasteland cities are preferred.

Normally, this editor rarely replies, but for some reason today, the other party replied shortly after Ao Ye sent the message.

Ao Ye thought about it seriously for a while. In fact, he had been preparing new themes in the early stages. For example, the gimmick he found a while ago was that the goddess broke up with him at the beginning, and her best friend was overjoyed. The protagonist had extraordinary abilities to summon the heroines of novels. He could summon all the heroines in his favorite novels and use information gaps to subdue them and make them his subordinates.

The current trend of public opinion has changed very rapidly in just a few months.

It looks like I'm going to write a new piece on a different topic and submit it internally.

In the afternoon, Ao Ye drove out, with his female classmate Wu Qian, who had just showered, washed, and dressed, sitting in the passenger seat.

Where are you planning to go for vacation during the Chinese New Year?

This fiery car is really fun to drive. It has plenty of horsepower and a large interior space. Ao Ye gripped the steering wheel with both hands and could clearly feel the man's powerful gaze as they sped along the highway.

"Overseas."

While holding a makeup mirror, Wu Qian pinched her newly curled bangs with her slender fingers, and looked at her pretty face and expression in the mirror with her beautiful eyes.

"With your boyfriend?"

"Pshaw, I don't have a boyfriend. But if you want to be my boyfriend, I might consider going on vacation abroad with you. How about we go to a beach?"

The girl came closer.

Whether intentional or not, Wu Qian got excited as soon as the topic of boyfriends and girlfriends came up, as if she was deliberately saying it for Ao Ye to hear.

"I'm speechless. What's the point of young people talking about love these days? Love is exhausting and mentally taxing. You give your all and there's no guarantee of a good outcome. If you ask me, just do what makes you happy. There are definitely people who are infatuated with you, and there are definitely other people you're infatuated with. When you feel the connection, just seize the opportunity."

"Hey! Ao Ye, is it because Yan'er left the country that you've become so despondent?"

"You mustn't give up on yourself."

"Seriously? This is my honest feeling. Aren't we doing pretty well now?"

Ao Ye turned the steering wheel, stepped on the gas, and overtook the two cars in front of him in one go, continuing to drive.

"You big jerk! This is the first time I've ever heard someone talk about love in such a refined and unconventional way. I know you like exciting things. What, do you think being in a relationship will restrict you?"

"You can't put it that way. Of course, you should have a proper relationship, but the impulse to like someone is very important. If you don't even have that primal impulse, then it's not very interesting. Of course, that's not too bad. If you don't have that primal impulse, but you find the other person interesting and unique, you can still get by. After all, life is meant to return to normalcy. But if you don't like them and can't find anything about them that attracts you, but you still have to be with them, then that's torture."

"Tch, that makes a lot of sense, but you didn't answer my question directly, did you, my friend who stays up all night?"

"You scumbag."

Wu Qian, sitting in the passenger seat, wearing high heels, stretched out one of her beautiful legs and stepped directly on Ao Ye's leg.

Not satisfied with just stepping on him, she insisted on using the pointed toes of her 5cm high heels to crush Ao Ye, her heels swaying from side to side.

Ao Ye reached out, grabbed her calf, and tossed her to the passenger side, saying, "I'm driving."

"Just playing around with you. Ao Ye, do you actually really like this, but you're too polite to refuse me? It's okay, if you like it, then let's have some fun."

After saying that, Wu Qian turned around and leaned against the passenger side window. Her slender legs were in high heels, and she hummed a sweet song while the heels of her high heels swayed back and forth on the passenger seat cushion.

Is this her nature or something she's doing on purpose?

"I'll take you home first, then I have something to do. Happy New Year."

As Ao Ye spoke, he increased the car's speed.

Seeing that the man seemed preoccupied, Wu Qian chuckled and said, "What's wrong? Do you really want to go on vacation abroad with me during the New Year? It's not impossible. I'll just tell my dad that I have a boyfriend at school, and he'll definitely agree."

"Nonsense, how could your dad possibly agree to you dating so early?"

"Why is it impossible? I am my father's most beloved daughter."

“You’re not a man,” Ao Ye said. “If a man has a daughter, he will definitely protect her well. How could he let her date so early? There are so many scumbags these days.”

"Isn't it good to experience it in advance? It's better than experiencing it when you're almost 30. My dad is very thoughtful. He believes that life should be lived happily, and you shouldn't be restricted."

"Where are you going on vacation?"

What Sao Qian said seems to make some sense.

The car sped along the highway. It was a sunny day, and although it was still cold outside, Ao Ye was thinking about getting Wu Qian back as soon as possible so he could go look at apartments and buy some New Year's goods.

If you're spending Chinese New Year alone in Nanjiang City, you might as well go abroad with someone.

Furthermore, Ao Ye felt that he absolutely had to have a large family of children.

That way I won't feel lonely.

"Norway."

"My dad has already booked the plane tickets."

Wu Qian scrolled through her phone screen in the car, took a beautiful selfie, and casually remarked something.

"Just you and your dad?"

“My mom is going too.”

"Good."

Ao Ye seemed to be deep in thought.

"It's true that families should stay together during the Lunar New Year, so I wish you a Happy New Year in advance, good fortune and prosperity, and a wonderful vacation abroad."

As they were talking, Ao Ye belatedly muttered, "Norway...?"

Then her pupils suddenly dilated, and her voice grew louder as she asked, "Sao Qian, are you guys going to Norway too?"

Chapter 521 Fortune Telling (Wishing everyone a Happy Lunar New Year's Eve, a joyful Spring Festival, and a prosperous year!)

In the afternoon, Ao Ye took a stroll around the sales office.

A beautiful woman took me to see an apartment. The location wasn't far from the demolition area where Ao Ye used to live, but the price was reasonable. It was on the 20th floor, 100 square meters, with three bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, and one bathroom. The lighting was good, and you could see the river view through the window.

The beautiful woman showing the apartment assumed today's client was just browsing and wasn't prepared to pay. However, seeing that the client was handsome, she repeatedly said some nice things, such as, "Handsome guy, you're so good-looking, do you have a girlfriend?"

Ao Ye didn't answer, but asked directly how the money would be paid and whether the contract could be issued today.

The beautiful woman didn't react at first, but later, a strange feeling came over her: was this customer going to buy it on the spot?

Then, realizing what was happening, he immediately called his boss. Ao Ye chuckled and said directly, "No need. You'll get a lot of commission if you sign clients on your own, won't you?"

—This girl looks like she hasn't been in the workforce for long. She's dressed in professional office attire, and although she doesn't look that mature, she has a good figure. She's wearing high heels and a short skirt, and it seems like she's not used to wearing them properly.

"Sir, are you going to sign the contract today?"

The girl's expression was one of surprise and disbelief.

"Yes, cash. And get the contract ready. It's for a new house, right?"

"Yes, it is."

The girl replied, "But speaking of which, I've never seen anyone buy a house on their first viewing before. It's 100 square meters in total, plus a small suite. The room costs 18,000 yuan, plus a 1% service fee, which comes to 181 million... Wait, let me do the math."

"The total is 1,818,000, right?"

Ao Ye glanced at their agency service fee and, combining it with the house price, blurted out his secret.

"Wait a minute, 18000 * 100 square meters * 0.01... plus the house price... Wow, sir, your math is amazing! It's exactly the number you just mentioned. But you must have a mortgage, right?"

Strange, this handsome guy in front of me looks like a college student, not someone who can come up with the full amount.

"No, full payment."

!!!

"Really?"

"Really. Please process this for me as soon as possible, I have something to do this afternoon."

Ao Ye said that he hoped to resolve the issue as soon as possible. As a man living alone, he needed to have his own house. Although Chu Chu had given him a house after his debut, he still felt uneasy. His own house was the one that gave him the most security.

"Okay, shall we go sign the contract and make the payment now?"

Ao Ye nodded sharply.

The beautiful woman, seemingly a little clumsy in her high heels, happily led Ao Ye to the company to sign the contract and pay the full amount. Since the property certificate would take three days to arrive, the woman added Ao Ye on WeChat, saying that she could come to his door immediately if he needed anything in the future.

Ao Ye glanced at her.

She must be a pretty college senior.

She's a girl with a pure and innocent charm.

I just don't know when she started wearing black stockings, and they got snagged on her thigh.

Ao Ye laughed for a long time.

In the afternoon, Ao Ye refused her invitation to dinner and left directly, intending to go to the supermarket to buy some New Year's goods. Coincidentally, when he passed an elevator, just as the elevator was about to close, the door suddenly opened again, and a strange person entered.

The reason he is called an "extraordinary person" is because his attire is nothing like that of a modern person. Instead, he is dressed in the clothing of a prince from the Qing Dynasty, wearing a round hat, leaning on a cane, and wearing a green thumb ring. He looks quite old, but he walks arrogantly and has a powerful aura.

He wore sunglasses on his face, looking like a fortune teller, so you couldn't tell what he actually looked like.

At first, Ao Ye didn't think anything of it and just glanced at him.
