Chapter 15 Fireworks

The two of them strolled around the market for a while before returning to the hotel.

Originally, Su Yao had planned to buy some snacks to bring back, but the vendors were in a hurry to go home, so she could only watch as Lu Xuan dragged her back.

On the comfortable king-size bed in the hotel, Su Yao buried herself in the covers, unwilling to move.

Lu Xuan sat beside her, intently watching the footage that had already been filmed, thinking about the direction of the upcoming shots.

"Why do you start working as soon as you get back? Didn't we say we were going to rest today!" Seeing Lu Xuan's serious expression, Su Yao's playful nature flared up, and she mischievously poked him with her white, tender feet from time to time.

"The filming is only two-thirds done. I need to hurry up and pick out the usable shots first, so it'll be easier to edit."

As Lu Xuan spoke, his hand already grasped the restless jade foot.

However, because most of his mind was still on work, Lu Xuan didn't do anything else.

Su Yao narrowed her eyes, like a little cat, enjoying Lu Xuan's massage. Suddenly, she said enthusiastically, "Let's go set off fireworks tonight!"

"I saw a specialty store selling fireworks on the street just now. We can buy some!"

"This is my first time spending the New Year in the north. Compared to our place, the New Year's atmosphere here is much stronger!"

Su Yao shook her head, her eyes full of longing.

"Sure, after I finish my work, we'll go buy some." Lu Xuan said, mischievously tickling the sole of Su Yao's foot.

"Ew, let go, you're annoying!"

The two of them immediately started playing around in the room.

In the end, it ended with Su Yao wrapping herself around Lu Xuan like an octopus.

"Do you give up!"

The two of them lay on the bed, both a little out of breath.

Su Yao straddled Lu Xuan, looking down at her beloved, her eyes already swirling with affection.

Lu Xuan was also a little lost in the charm of this little enchantress. He threw the work he had confidently vowed to do to the back of his mind, planning to take advantage of the good time to study life and ideals.

Just as their feelings were intensifying, Lu Xuan's phone suddenly rang.

It was his father-in-law, Su Mo.

Su Yao shuddered, like a little girl caught doing something wrong, and sat up from the bed, which made Lu Xuan laugh.

He sat up as well, teasingly saying, "Tell me, what did you do wrong? Why are you so nervous!"

"Answer the phone quickly!" Su Yao glared at Lu Xuan.

The smile on Lu Xuan's face grew even brighter as he put his arm around Su Yao and answered the phone.

"Happy New Year, Father-in-law!"

"Yes, Happy New Year!"

Su Mo's strong voice came from the other end of the phone.

The two of them had already wished their families a happy new year on New Year's Eve yesterday, so now they were just exchanging verbal blessings.

"Are you and Yao Yao getting used to living there?"

"It's alright. Although it's not as good as home, it's still comfortable!"

Lu Xuan was a little confused, wondering what Su Mo wanted to talk to him about, so he waited for Su Mo to speak first.

Sure enough, after a few words of greeting, Su Mo got straight to the point.

"I'm calling you this time to ask about your thoughts on online novels."

"I was too busy before the New Year, and I only had time to deal with this matter now, so I hurried to give you a call."

"What are you planning to do with this matter?"

Su Mo finished speaking and waited quietly.

His wife, Shen Ruoqiu, had been talking to him about this matter before the New Year, but it had been delayed until after the New Year.

And seeing how busy Lu Xuan was, if he didn't mention it now, he didn't know when it would be implemented.

The higher-ups were also very concerned about this matter, urging him from time to time, which made Su Mo very distressed.

He happened to hear his precious daughter say that they were resting today, so he hurried to solve this problem first.

Lu Xuan thought it was something important that Su Mo was so concerned about.

He didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter, so he organized his words and said.

"I've prepared several outlines for novels, and I think they're all very suitable."

"The main frameworks of these novels are roughly constructed with both explicit and implicit storylines. However, in terms of presentation, there's the recently popular Xianxia style, the more traditional Wuxia style, and the palace style that I'm trying for the first time."

"I can guarantee that these novels are all absolute masterpieces. I even plan to film them into TV series directly after I write them."

Lu Xuan's guarantee warmed Su Mo's heart.

If he said it was a masterpiece, then it definitely wouldn't be bad!

This matter was settled!

Su Yao had been lying in Lu Xuan's arms, listening intently to the conversation on the phone.

Hearing the topic of their conversation, she immediately joined in excitedly, "Dad, I know about this!"

"I have to tell you about Lu Xuan's *Xianjian Qi Xia Zhuan* (The Legend of Sword and Fairy)!"

"This is the most innovative novel I've ever read, with the most vivid characters!"

Hearing Su Yao's words, Su Mo was a little surprised.

He was a member of the Writers Association. Su Yao had been influenced by him since she was a child, and her literary literacy was comparable to that of an average Chinese language major.

This was the first time he had seen her recommend a book so excitedly.

He said curiously, "Then tell me, what's the story about!"

Su Yao first glanced at Lu Xuan, received an affirmative look, and immediately told the outline of the story.

"The protagonists are Jing Tian, a young clerk at Yongan Pawnshop in Yuzhou City, and Xue Jian, the eldest daughter of the Tang Clan."

"The story begins with the sudden collapse of the top of the Suoyao Pagoda (Demon Locking Tower) and the unsealing of the seal, but the deeper cause and effect..."

......

"Jing Tian is a worldly person, loves money, loves face, and is a chauvinist, but he steps forward in the face of national righteousness."

"Although Xue Jian has a bad temper, her essence is also a very good person."

"Xu Changqing has both Dao (the Way) and Qing (love) in every life. Zi Xuan's pursuit in every life, her unchanging love, and the infatuated lover who has waited for two hundred years finally learns to let go and give the other person freedom."

"Although Mao Mao looks simple and honest, he also steps forward to help everyone overcome the difficulties."

"Every character is full and vivid, with flesh and blood, and full of emotion."

Su Yao was initially speaking close to Lu Xuan's face, but later she simply took the phone.

Su Mo was also attracted by the ups and downs of the plot and didn't realize that the person speaking on the phone had long since become his precious daughter.

Su Yao made a summary of her own, and then handed the phone back to Lu Xuan with lingering interest.

Lu Xuan smiled and touched her head, then took the phone.

"Do you think this is okay?"

"Yes, it's too good!"

Su Mo's voice suddenly rose two degrees.

Even he couldn't find any logical problems in this story.

And now that Su Yao had explained it, he really wanted to see what the final product would be like.
