In his first life, Gu Qing didn't achieve anything significant.
Even in this lifetime, all I've done is cultivate a few good habits for myself.
In terms of achievements alone, there's really nothing to brag about.
The more you see and experience, the more you realize how insignificant and humble you are.
After giving his first work, which lasted an hour and a half, a final check, Gu Qing skillfully logged into BL (Boys' Love) website.
He had already registered the relevant accounts.
The ID used was not the real name.
After taking a deep breath, Gu Qing began uploading her first work, which she had spent months of hard work on.
The internet speed was fast, and the work was uploaded in just over ten minutes.
After that, once approved, the works will officially appear in the website's portfolio.
Although he had put in a lot of effort, Gu Qing did not have high expectations for the success of the first book.
Long-form science videos tend to be rather dry.
Even though Gu Qing put a lot of effort into the copywriting, trying to incorporate some lighthearted and humorous content, the genre itself meant that it was impossible for it to become a viral sensation across the internet from the start.
Moreover, Gu Qing herself had no intention of running the business; she was a completely unknown newcomer.
Gu Qing even prepared for the worst, that his work would sink without a trace, leaving no room for further discussion.
After uploading the work, Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and took a book from the bookshelf on his right to start reading.
This is a rather controversial book, titled "The Disappearance of Childhood".
This book is not well-known to people unfamiliar with the field.
But many people have heard of the author's other book—Amusing Ourselves to Death.
The theories presented by the author in the book are very interesting, but Gu Qing is more concerned about the author's perspective.
The impact of technology on humanity is undeniable.
After brewing a cup of tea, Gu Qing read and pondered, occasionally falling into deep thought.
Time slipped away quietly like that.
……
Dusk.
As the light of the sunset streamed in, Gu Qing couldn't help but stretch.
After stretching a few times, I heard a clanging and rattling sound coming from outside the door.
After hesitating for two seconds, Gu Qing walked out of the bedroom, but did not see Su Xiyue in the living room.
Turning around at the sound, I saw Su Xiyue doing something in the kitchen.
Gu Qing walked over, stared for a few seconds, and then asked in a puzzled voice, "Are you cutting meat?"
Su Xiyue seemed unaware of Gu Qing's arrival. Startled, she turned around and smiled awkwardly.
"I want to try cooking a meal for you, Qingqing..."
Gu Qing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then looked at the scene before her.
"Alright, I appreciate your kind gesture."
Gu Qing took the knife from Su Xiyue and put the frozen meat on the cutting board aside.
The girl's intentions are good, but she still has a lot to learn.
"Let me teach you how to cook, starting with preparing the ingredients," Gu Qing said.
"it is good!"
Su Xiyue's eyes lit up.
Not only can she learn to cook, but she can also spend time with Gu Qing – killing two birds with one stone!
"The meat needs to be thawed first..."
In the kitchen, their figures intertwined.
……
November arrived quickly.
The weather suddenly turned cold, and many people caught a cold as a result.
Su Xiyue's health had always been good, and with Gu Qing reminding her to wear more clothes every day, she didn't have any problems.
In two months, Gu Qing had gradually adapted to university life in Jinling.
It's not really about adapting; he already had experience.
In her studies, Gu Qing readily accepted advice.
Although I haven't learned many of these things, there are still some similarities.
Gu Qing learned it with ease.
Things like failing a course were completely outside of Gu Qing's considerations.
His feelings for Su Xiyue grew stronger day by day amidst their seemingly ordinary daily life.
There were no misunderstandings or arguments, just ordinary mutual care.
Su Xiyue has recently become obsessed with something, not only starting to learn how to cook, but also paying attention to things in other fields.
Gu Qing didn't think much of it, after all, interests and hobbies can change.
And isn't playing fewer games a good thing?
Overall, both academic and personal life are progressing steadily.
However, life is always full of disappointments.
175. The girl takes the reward herself.
It is said that one is successful in love but unsuccessful in career.
Gu Qing doesn't have a formal workplace, but her side hustle plan can be considered part of her career planning.
This disappointment naturally refers to the failure of his debut work.
The work was approved the day after it was uploaded.
This was entirely within Gu Qing's expectations.
Although current affairs, history and other fields are prone to involving sensitive content.
But Gu Qing, having been a journalist, still possesses this awareness.
I did my research before creating the work, and therefore deliberately avoided some sensitive topics.
However, more than a week has passed since the work was approved, and the response has been rather lukewarm.
The completion rate of the series has never exceeded 5%.
In other words, out of 100 viewers, fewer than 5 people watched the whole thing.
Although she was mentally prepared, Gu Qing still felt somewhat disappointed.
The film is nearly 90 minutes long, the same length as a movie, but it doesn't tell a story like a movie, so naturally few people have the patience to watch it all the way through.
Although Gu Qing had tried his best to make it more interesting, popular science is still popular science, especially long popular science articles.
The only commendable thing is that the few viewers who watched it all gave it very positive reviews.
Although the number of views, collections, likes, and other data for the work is very small, there have been no negative reviews so far, which can be said to be Gu Qing's only consolation.
Of course, it could also be related to the work's popularity.
"Gu Qing, don't overthink it. I still think your work is excellent. I even showed it to my mentor, and she said it was good too. It's just that the audience these days finds it hard to accept this kind of long-form educational video!"
This is a comforting message sent by Jiang Ruoyun.
Gu Qing replied with "Thank you".
In fact, Gu Qing didn't need Jiang Ruoyun's comfort; he didn't take this minor setback seriously.
However, if the data after the work's release is poor, we can't just blame the audience; otherwise, we'd be no different from those directors of bad films.
Gu Qing still needs to look for some problems within herself.
Just as he was about to prepare a detailed analysis report, Su Xiyue walked in carrying a pot of hot water.
In the past few days, Su Xiyue has learned to enter Gu Qing's bedroom without knocking.
Gu Qing didn't really care. He didn't treat his bedroom as a "boudoir," and he wasn't some sheltered young man.
After Su Xiyue added hot water to Gu Qing's teacup, she reached out and gently massaged Gu Qing's temples.
"Qingqing must be exhausted. I'll cook dinner tonight," Su Xiyue said softly.
