The east was showing signs of dawn.

The entire California was welcoming the first ray of morning sunlight.

However, not many people were truly welcoming the sun.

As long as there's no special need, Americans love to sleep in.

This is related to their rich nightlife.

Even the cleaning companies collecting garbage don't start too early.

Zhou Mo Sen was no exception; he liked to sleep in too.

But today, he really saw the sun rise at dawn.

At this moment, gentle sunshine streamed in.

Zhou Mo Sen sat by the desk next to the bed, enjoying the intimate touch of sunlight on his skin.

Warm, was the feeling of life.

When his whole body was filled with this feeling.

Even if he hadn't slept all night, it seemed fine.

But he couldn't help but stretch.

This movement caused some noise.

And soft humming.

This made Zhou Mo Sen look forward in front of him.

Bai Jing's tender skin had fine hairs.

When sunlight shone upon it.

It seemed to glimmer with a faint golden hue.

"Don't move, you're making it hard for me to write."

Anne's words seemed to be begging.

Zhou Mo Sen gave a simple smile, "You're just too easily distracted."

This guy was really saying it without a care in the world.

She was typing, after all.

And sitting on the same chair with him.

However, Anne did not argue.

"What's next? What will happen to the little wolf?"

"You have to understand, no matter what, Isabella and Edward are a couple, unbreakable.

Everyone else is a supporting character; you must give the little wolf a hard time."

"But... I think he's a bit pitiful?"

"Pitiful?"

Anne's hands were still on the keyboard, but her head turned to him.

Zhou Mo Sen smiled and kissed her lips.

"Are you planning to have Isabella cheat?"

This question made Anne a bit flustered.

"In reality, isn't there a lot of this happening?"

She asked tentatively.

Zhou Mo Sen simply gave her thigh a slap.

"Reality is reality; if you write it like that, our book could go bust."

Anne couldn't help but argue, "But a lot of novels are written this way."

She was an elite scholar, with a degree in literature.

She had read a lot, a whole lot.

In European and American novels, let alone Isabella and Edward just dating.

Even if they're married, having an affair in the plot.

It's very common!

In fact, it's a selling point for many novels.

But Zhou Mo Sen spoke so seriously, making Anne a bit confused.

Looking into her eyes that were like a fawn's.

Even after staying up all night, they were still full of spirit.

This girl had already fallen into the literary fantasy woven by Zhou Mo Sen.

"Novels are different; the one we're writing is a new kind. Our target audience is mostly young people, and they might not be as accepting as people before.

We must consider their situation."

This argument was indeed fresh.

Anne couldn't help but bite her lip gently.

Zhou Mo Sen felt a bit hungry, grabbed a bun.

"At most, give that werewolf a kiss, but just one kiss, no more. Understand?"

Anne's brows furrowed slightly but seemed to finally figure it out.

"This way, the little wolf will never let go of Isabella."

"Exactly. What you can't have is what you most desire."

Zhou Mo Sen spoke while eating, and Anne understood indeed.

But she thought of something else.

"It's like how you never tell me the ending of this novel?"

That's how you keep the suspense.

Anne wasn't dumb.

Zhou Mo Sen laughed heartily, "If I said I haven't thought of the ending yet, would you believe me?"

Anne shot him a glare, turned her head, and continued typing.

"I believe, but I also don't."

"Why?"

"You're too amazing; I can't predict how much more surprise you'll bring me. But, as you said, you want to write several books in this series, so I don't believe you can think of an end now."

Zhou Mo Sen laughed again, "Actually, the ending is simple."

Anne immediately understood but didn't look back, "It's the ending everyone is expecting?"

"Yes."

"Then, it doesn't seem like a classic work."

What is considered a classic work?

Actually, in European and American literature, there's a notion.

Only novels with a tragic ending can be classics.

Maybe there's no absolute theory, but a teacher who teaches writing.

Would definitely say so.

Because even after reading extensively, reading all European and American classics.

You would still come to this conclusion.

All classic novels end in tragedy.

There are truly no exceptions.

How should Zhou Mo Sen put it?

"That's just the academic approach."

A word settled it all.

Anne, typing away, started to laugh.

Zhou Mo Sen continued, "In a new era, we're writing for a new generation.

Does being a classic matter?

What matters is making money.

This novel needs to sell well, be adapted into film and TV.

That's what's important!"

He said while grabbing another bun.

Anne frowned slightly, but her typing sped up.

In fact, after an all-night collaboration in writing.

"Dusk" could be considered complete.

This first part of the series, after some edits, could be sent to the publisher.

And the conflicts between Zhou Mo Sen and Anne... were indeed intense.

However, speaking of it.

Zhou Mo Sen was upholding the tone of the "Twilight City" series.

That's how it is.

This book is very appealing to young people.

As for literary value.

That's not what we're after.

And speaking of literary value... Have you read "Harry Potter"?

That book is immensely popular.

But know that it's children's literature, originally meant for kids.

So, it doesn't have the dramatic conflicts often emphasized in European and American novels.

We can feel this when watching the movies.

Reading the novel makes it even more apparent.

It's not to say this novel is bad, but it's so good!

It's meant for kids, why write it so grand?

If JK Rowling had a higher cultural level, her novel wouldn't be so beloved by children.

Actually, her other novels, most of them flopped, even though "Harry Potter" was a huge success.

When Rowling wrote other genres, readers didn't give her any face.

She apparently wrote a detective novel, but it got trashed.

The logic is, for the intended audience, we write the appropriate book.

No problem with that.

As for the little wolf in "Twilight City."

Zhou Mo Sen heard a lot of gossip.

In the movies, this little wolf can't get the love he wants.

But in reality, the actor playing the little wolf is a real heartbreaker!

A long list of ex-girlfriend names.

And it's a string of new-generation big stars.

Selena, Taylor Swift... Right, too many.

This is no simp; clearly, he's an Aquaman.

Returning to this "Dusk" novel.

Zhou Mo Sen didn't type a single word; it was all Anne Hathaway at the keyboard.

And also thumping her... this...

Dr. Zhou, you sure know how to write.
