Gao Moumou wrote: "What are you talking about? I certainly know about webnovel authors. I'm not an alien or living in seclusion. I frequently read webnovels, and I even made accounts on the various novel sites. I even cast a vote in the monthly ranking and subscribe to the authors I like."

"..." Song Shuhang forced a smile and wrote: "Moumou, such being the case, do you have any interest in writing novels?"

After reading this message, Gao Moumou's heart skipped a beat, and his whole body stiffened.

As previously mentioned, Gao Moumou was indeed interested in writing novels... however, he had never shown the stories he had written to the people he knew in real life.

For Gao Moumou, writing novels was like writing a personal diary. Therefore, he was too embarra.s.sed to make the people he was familiar with read them.

As if that wasn't enough, his pen name was quite childish, and several of the novels he wrote gave off an extreme chuuni vibe. If someone that knew him in real life were to read them, it would be the end of his life!

Why did Song Shuhang ask such a question? Is it possible that he knows about me writing novels in secret? Gao Moumou thought to himself.

Impossible! I took many precautions, and I'm sure I didn't leave any traces behind! Even while stealthily writing in the dormitory, I quietly hid in my upper berth, away from the gazes of my roommates! They shouldn't have discovered me!

After pondering for a moment, Gao Moumou wrote: "No, I don't have such an interest. Anyway, why the question? Shuhang, are you planning to start writing a novel?"

"No, that's not it. I just thought of something and asked," Song Shuhang quickly wrote in reply.

Since Gao Moumou doesn't seem someone interested in writing novels, the 'Yu Jiaojiao' that added him should have nothing to do with the reversed mermaid Yu Jiaojiao I know, right?

Maybe it's just a coincidence, and she is just another girl using 'Yu Jiaojiao' as her nickname?

After thinking up to his point, Song Shuhang had calmed down a little.

Yu Jiaojiao was planning to catch a certain author and lock him inside a small black room, making him write 20,000 characters every day and not giving him food to eat if he couldn't finish the work in time...

If the author she was going to catch was really Gao Moumou, how was Song Shuhang supposed to face his friend?

After all, Yu Jiaojiao was planning to have that very author write the plot of the small movie they were going to shoot. In that case, how was Song Shuhang, who was one of the investors and actors starring in the movie, supposed to face the author if he was his friend?

Anyway, now that it was confirmed that the author wasn't Gao Moumou, there was nothing to worry about.

"Shuhang, you always ask strange questions lately. Did you turn into a bookworm after reading too many books?" Gao Moumou teased him. Then, he wrote: "Anyway, see you later. Let me dally a bit with Miss Yu Jiaojiao. I'll try to convince her to send me a picture. If she's cute, I'll give you her account number so that you can try to win her over."

After writing this much, Gao Moumou didn't wait for Song Shuhang's reply and switched to Yu Jiaojiao's chat window.

Three minutes earlier, Miss Yu Jiaojiao had sent the following message: "Excuse me, are you Holy Paladin, the author of the ❮*****❯ novel? ?"

Gao Moumou wrote: "Yes, that's me!"

"Holy Paladin, I've been following your book for quite a while~ I have to say that it's really entertaining. Your pen name is also very interesting," Yu Jiaojiao wrote.

Gao Moumou wrote: "? Miss Jiaojiao, your username is also very interesting."

"Holy Paladin, do you live in the Jiangnan area of China?" Yu Jiaojiao asked.

Gao Moumou wrote: "Ah, yes. It's all written in my basic information~ Anyway, what about you, Miss Jiaojiao?"

Yu Jiaojiao wrote: "I live close to the East China Sea, hehe."

"Close to the East China Sea? What a coincidence. I went on a trip to the East China Sea and returned just recently." Gao Moumou skillfully typed on the keyboard.

After a few sentences, Gao Moumou had already started to get more familiar with Yu Jiaojiao. Of course, he had no intention of starting an online love affair.

He already had a girlfriend, and he wasn't someone that would go around hitting on girls in real life. After all, he was very faithful to Yayi, it should be clear from his actions on the mysterious island. In order to save his beloved girlfriend, he rushed ahead by disregarding his own safety and fell into the talons of the huge eagles. It was a pity that Gao Moumou had lost memory of it.

Anyway, since he couldn't flirt with girls in real life, he could only flirt with them online. Moreover, he wasn't using his personal account to flirt but the one reserved for his activities as an author.

As the saying went: 'practice makes perfect'.

Unknowingly, Gao Moumou's 'online flirting' skills had reached a very high level.

After a while, thanks to Gao Moumou's skills, the two of them had started to happily chat as though they were a couple.

Thereupon, Gao Moumou seized the opportunity and asked Yu Jiaojiao to send him one of her pictures.

"Sure, just wait a moment. I'll flip through the photo alb.u.m and send you a picture." Yu Jiaojiao's reply was very straightforward.

Soon after, Yu Jiaojiao sent him the picture of an incredible beauty.

The background of the picture was a beautiful pond located inside a courtyard. The sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly, and a woman with black, wavy hair was sitting next to the small pond. Her exquisite facial features resembled that of an elf, and she gave off the faint impression of being an ethnically mixed person. She had light blue eyes and skin that was as white as jade. She was wearing a long skirt; the end of the skirt was immersed in the water of the pond.

The beautiful woman was holding a small thing in her hand. But due to the distance, it wasn't clear what that thing was.

Yu Jiaojiao indeed sent one of her pictures...

However, the beautiful woman in the picture was Yu Jiaojiao's mother. Her mother was a fish of the Fifth Stage Realm that could a.s.sume human form. She was extremely attractive, just like a mermaid.

As for Yu Jiaojiao... she was that small thing that her mother was holding in her hand, hardly visible.

After seeing the photo, Gao Moumou was dazzled by the beauty of the woman. The girl in the picture was truly attractive!

"Is this the work of a G.o.d-like photographer? Or is the picture photoshopped?" Gao Moumou copied the picture and sent it to Li Yangde.

Gao Moumou: "Yangde, are you online? Can you tell me if the girl in this picture was photoshopped?"

Li Yangde replied: "Wait a moment."

Ten seconds later, Li Yangde wrote: "It doesn't look photoshopped. However, it's true that the picture seems a little too beautiful! Either it was photoshopped so well that even I didn't notice or the girl in the picture is really that beautiful, and it reached such a perfect result coupled with the G.o.dly skills of the photographer.

Gao Moumou smiled and wrote: "In other words, the picture is real? This girl is even more beautiful than the celebrities you see on the TV! I'll send the picture to Tubo and Shuhang as well. It's a girl that I just added as a friend online, do you want me to introduce her to you?"

"There is no need. I'm fine as long as I have my computer." Li Yangde sent a very straightforward message.

"..." Gao Moumou.

Afterward, he sent the picture to Song Shuhang and Tubo, writing: "Shuhang, this is the picture of that 'Yu Jiaojiao' I told you about earlier. What do you think of her? She is beautiful, isn't she? Did she manage to move your heart?"

After receiving the picture, Song Shuhang looked at it for a while. The girl didn't seem to be the half-human and half-fish Yu Jiaojiao he knew. Such being the case, was it just a beautiful misunderstanding?

At this time, Gao Moumou smiled and wrote: "Do you want this brother of yours to introduce you two so that you can know each other better?"

Song Shuhang gently smiled and replied, "There is no need, but thanks for your kind intentions."

At the moment, he really didn't have the time to fall in love!
