Chapter 120 - So-so
Chapter 120: So-so
Jiang Huai Jr. had kept the fact that he was Ah Mumu a tight secret.
On one hand, he was afraid that the intentionally tragic endings of his previous books would get him caught and beaten up while wearing a hood. On the other hand, those books were indeed not very proper.
He had told Bai Li this secret because Bai Li wouldn’t care whether he was proper or not. From the beginning, he never hid his true self from Bai Li, never pretending to be a gentleman, so Bai Li knew him well and often teased him about being Ah Mumu.
When he first met Luo Qingyu, she was only fourteen years old, and he subconsciously wanted to appear more proper. After all, he was in front of a fourteen-year-old girl, and at that time, he never wanted the girl to fall for him, so he subconsciously played the role of the boy next door, the elder brother. He played the role for so long that Jiang Huai almost convinced himself that he was indeed a proper person.
Thankfully, Ah Mumu allowed him to be himself again. All those petty, dark, and naughty thoughts were hidden in his books. He had kept this secret from Luo Qingyu for a very long time until today when he suddenly spoke it out loud.
“Is it... Jiang Huai brother?” Luo Qingyu’s voice became a bit stuttered.
She had read the three famous books by Ah Mumu, ‘Floating Clouds and Splendid Elegance,’ ‘Record of Glass Splendor,’ and the currently serialized ‘The Melody of Warm Jade,’ which had been popular for several years among the young disciples in the Eastern Region. Anyone with a Ziyun Pavilion collector’s edition could boast for a long time. Luo Qingyu, out of boredom, had also secretly learned about them and occasionally read them under the covers.
Many of her notions about love came from these plays. She didn’t envy the romantic affairs in the stories but particularly liked the female characters who used all sorts of schemes to drive away the women around the male lead. She had quietly noted down many strategies, but now she suddenly heard that Jiang Huai had written the book.
Jiang Huai’s eyes were innocent yet slightly embarrassed.
“You’ve read it, haven’t you?”
She had already reacted so strongly before, and it was too late to hide it now. Luo Qingyu replied somewhat guiltily.
