Li Xiaoye turned his head to Gu Ran: "Are you insulting me?"
"Do you think I can write a book like 'Three-Body'?"
"Unless Three-Body really happens."
"Would you consider that an insult?"
"This is a professional assessment, it's just that it sounds a bit harsh. Not everyone eager to hear such harsh assessments can even have the chance." Li Xiaoye said with the air of someone who's difficult to please.
"I'm also making a professional assessment, you're indeed very far from being discharged."
"Xiao Gu, actually, all that was just an act." Li Xiaoye laughed, "Living the experience, immersing myself into the novel, did you notice?"
"I noticed." Gu Ran stepped back.
Li Xiaoye's hand was under his buttocks, as if he was fiddling with something.
It was just like having his hand on the trigger of a gun!
"So what do you want?" Gu Ran asked.
"I want to write a novel that is unprecedented and will be unmatched forever."
"Are you a novelist?"
"If I'm not, then who is?"
