Li Tian Tian is a loyal fan of "First Intimate Contact."
After finishing "First Intimate Contact" for the first time, Li Tian Tian became a fan of Bai Yi Qincheng.
Although she had once scolded Bai Yi Qincheng for killing off her favorite character, Qing Wu Fei Yang, in her heart, Li Tian Tian still admired Bai Yi Qincheng's literary talent.
However, ever since Li Tian Tian finished "First Intimate Contact," she found herself with nothing to read.
She always felt that ordinary romance novels were somewhat beneath her; the love stories in them were cliché and boring, making her drowsy.
So Li Tian Tian often thought, if only there were a few more novels like "First Intimate Contact"... But she also knew that "First Intimate Contact" was a classic that one could only encounter by chance, and it was already very lucky to have found it once.
Until today, Li Tian Tian saw that Bai Yi Qincheng had posted a Weibo, saying he would start a new book tomorrow!
Li Tian Tian was instantly delighted: "Maybe Bai Yi Qincheng can write another classic like 'First Intimate Contact'..."
Thinking of this, Li Tian Tian couldn't help but feel incredibly excited.
She began to refresh Bai Yi Qincheng's Weibo page over and over again.
Although the author had already stated in the Weibo that the novel would be released the next day, Li Tian Tian still hoped for a miracle.
Just a moment ago, Bai Yi Qincheng actually posted the title and synopsis of the novel!
"Those Years, We Chased After the Girl?" Li Tian Tian smiled, the title easily evoked memories of those youthful years.
"Let's check out the synopsis!" Li Tian Tian felt as if she was on tenterhooks, and all the previous boring refreshes suddenly had meaning.
"Ke Jingteng was a mischievous and academically poor boy in junior high school. The teacher entrusted him to Shen Jiayi, the most outstanding girl in the class.
One sat in the front, the other in the back.
Ke Jingteng's shirt started to have blue ink spots.
Whenever he didn't study hard, Shen Jiayi would poke his shirt with a fountain pen..."
After reading the synopsis, Li Tian Tian could almost see the scene described...
A boy sat in the front row, and a girl in the back row. Whenever the boy dozed off or daydreamed in class, the girl in the back would poke his back with a fountain pen to remind him to study hard...
The vivid imagery immediately struck a chord with Li Tian Tian's girlish heart.
"Is this... a story about high school sweethearts?" Li Tian Tian guessed. From the feel of the synopsis, this story seemed to be one where the lovers eventually end up together, right?
Bai Yi Qincheng probably wouldn't dare to kill off the female lead this time.
The death of Qing Wu Fei Yang had caused collective outrage among readers, and Bai Yi Qincheng had been criticized by fans many times.
"I can only see the main text tomorrow." Thinking of this, Li Tian Tian felt a bit frustrated. Her expression seemed to say, "I'm so frustrated, but I won't say it..."
In front of their computers and phones, countless readers like Li Tian Tian were filled with anticipation.
Of course, there were also readers who felt disappointed after reading the synopsis.
"I don't know why, but I feel like Bai Yi Qincheng is about to ruin the empire he built with 'First Intimate Contact'..."
"Exactly, although the synopsis has a strong sense of imagery, based on this, I feel the story will be very cliché..."
"It's just another story about sweethearts. Bai Yi Qincheng has run out of ideas; he should stick to writing fantasy novels."
"Indeed, 'First Intimate Contact' was more about luck. He is destined not to surpass himself and reach a higher level."

Luo Yang just got up and turned on his computer, and saw the comments on the synopsis he posted last night.
As expected, the comments were half positive and half negative, a mix of praise and criticism.
"Let the story speak for itself."
While muttering to himself, Luo Yang uploaded all eight chapters he had written last night. These eight chapters contained over 20,000 words, enough to satisfy the readers.
After uploading the 20,000 words, Luo Yang got dressed, brushed his teeth, and washed his face before going to the playground to run.
Luo Yang had been exercising regularly for a long time. It was tiring at first, but now he was used to it.
After breaking a sweat, Luo Yang returned to the dormitory and took a cold shower.
Taking a cold shower in the summer was a refreshing experience. After showering, Luo Yang saw his roommates gradually waking up.
"Damn, you get up so early every day."
"Full of energy like a bull!" Wang Yu and Zhu Changhong teased Luo Yang. Both of them had girlfriends and always looked tired.
Ren Changjiang envied these two beasts for having girlfriends. He was now a genuine single dog.
However, it seemed that he had been trying hard to pursue a girl from the software department under the encouragement of Wang Yu and Zhu Changhong.
Luo Yang wasn't very concerned about these matters.
After the roommates tidied up, they went to class together.
...
The first thing Li Tian Tian did when she woke up in the morning was to check if Bai Yi Qincheng had updated.
"It's only 6:30, he probably hasn't updated yet..."
Although Li Tian Tian didn't have much hope, she still tried refreshing the page. To her surprise, she found that Bai Yi Qincheng had already posted over 20,000 words of the main content.
Li Tian Tian's sleepiness vanished instantly.
Putting aside brushing her teeth and washing her face, she started reading the novel...
"The story should start with that wall.
In the summer of 1991, at Changhua Jincheng Middle School, in the second year of the junior high art class.
A boy who firmly believed that his messy curly hair would one day straighten out, due to his love for joking around in class and arguing with classmates, was finally punished by Teacher Lai and made to sit in the far corner of the classroom.
Next to him was a bare wall.
'Ke Jingteng, let's see how you'll make noise now!' Teacher Lai sneered, looking down at me from the podium as I busily moved my desk.
'Yes, I will definitely reflect on my behavior.' I packed up the messy reference books and sketches in my desk, forcing a serious face of deep reflection.
Damn. You ungrateful classmates, I don't charge for making jokes in class to make everyone's youth fun, and you treat me like this? I cursed in my heart while tidying up my new desk..."
Reading the first few lines, Li Tian Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
"Bai Yi Qincheng's style is as humorous as ever... But it seems different from the witty humor in 'First Intimate Contact'..."
Li Tian Tian continued reading.
As she read on, she became engrossed.
With each argument between Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi... with Ke Jingteng's first love, Li Xiaohua... and the mischievous pranks and punishments by the teacher... and Ke Jingteng's efforts to stay in the art class to be classmates with Shen Jiayi...
Bai Yi Qincheng's words seemed to have a certain magic, easily drawing the reader in. Before she knew it, Li Tian Tian had finished reading.
"Ah, that's it? I haven't had enough yet!"
Realizing that the update only had so much content, Li Tian Tian's face turned red with excitement, and she wanted to shout to release her frustration.
Based on her years of reading experience, she could already determine that as long as the plot didn't fall into clichés, this would definitely be a classic work that wouldn't be inferior to "First Intimate Contact"!
"True to my Bai Yi Qincheng, update quickly, update quickly, update quickly!" Li Tian Tian even left a comment for Bai Yi Qincheng.
The book is called "Those Years, We Chased After the Girl," so it's clear that the female lead will be the smart and beautiful Shen Jiayi.
However, the male lead, Ke Jingteng, is currently dating Li Xiaohua. How the plot will develop next filled Li Tian Tian with endless anticipation!
"Ah, I'm going to be late for work!"
Li Tian Tian accidentally glanced at the clock and suddenly screamed, rushing into the bathroom to get ready.
She had forgotten about work while reading the novel. Realizing this, she quickly washed up and rushed to the company.
For some reason, on her way to the company, Li Tian Tian's mind was filled with scenes of Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi arguing...
A smile involuntarily appeared on her lips—Li Tian Tian's smile was very sweet.
