Chapter V: Signing and Confession
Signings
"Please line up in an orderly manner, Mr. Bai Ling's last signing meeting will start immediately. In a fairly large bookstore, several staff members shouted with loudspeakers, and at this time, it was already half past one in the afternoon.
There was a huge crowd of people inside, and everyone was waiting in line with a novel with "Bai Ling" written on it, and looking at the cover, it should be a fantasy novel.
"Why are there so many people on weekdays......
Bai Ling slumped in the café next door, looking at the countless people inside, and complaining that there were a few books piled up next to his seat, and a few signature pens that had run out of ink.
"Two minutes to go, ready to go. Suddenly, a man in overalls walked up and handed her a cup of iced coffee with a cup of ice as he spoke.
The boy looked to be in his early twenties, with no expression on his face, a head taller than Bai Ling, his hair and eyes were dark blue, a handful of oblique bangs, some of which covered his right eye, and there was a little tiredness in his eyes.
"It's a lot easier for Xiao Liang to be an editor. Bai Ling got up slowly, picked up the cup of coffee, stretched his waist, and walked with him to the signing party.
"Working with murderers isn't easy at all. ”
"Oh, that's a nasty thing to say. ”
Liang Sha, Bai Ling's editor-in-charge, is also one of the few people who knows her true identity, as for why she told him, probably because it would be more convenient to communicate.
The signing meeting began, and the two of them got busy, Bai Ling signed non-stop, and two pens were prepared next to him, and Liang Xu was busy evacuating people and maintaining order.
"Please. A man handed over a book, and the voice was very familiar.
"Doesn't it matter if Xiao Jianglan comes over during working hours?" Bai Ling glanced at him suspiciously.
"It's okay, it's okay. Jiang Lan smiled and shook her head.
"Obviously, I just asked for an autograph when I came back. Bai Ling also smiled, looking at him like a child, but the answer he got was the same every time.
"There's an atmosphere at the scene. ”
Sure enough, this time it was the same answer, he really liked the book written by Bai Ling, maybe there was some opportunity.
"Ah, the prison guard is here again. Liang Xu, who was maintaining order next to him, muttered to himself expressionlessly, but his hand hanging down trembled slightly.
Thanks to Bai Ling's efforts, the signing session ended in 20 minutes, and the bookstore, which was originally full of people, suddenly became much empty.
"Sore hands~" She shook her right hand and cried, the whole person was a little shaky, and she looked very cute.
"It's hard work, are there any arrangements in the future?" Liang Xu glanced at her, still with the same paralyzed face.
"Oh, it's almost time to talk," she seemed to remember something, "I have something to do, let's go first!" When Liang Sha wanted to say something again, she had disappeared from sight with a smile on her face.
I can't imagine what she looked like when she killed someone, and if Liang Sha hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that this cheerful person would kill others.
Bai Ling's unimaginability is because of her cute personality and behavior, while Su Ranran's unimaginability is purely because of her too small guts.
On the side, Su Ranran was already waiting at the playground agreed between her and the person in the mobile phone.
Her heart was pounding, but the expression on her face was more apologetic than nervous.
Because it's not a weekend, there aren't many people in the playground, and occasionally you can see a few couples sneaking out, but it has nothing to do with her.
After waiting for a long time, a boy with short brown hair waved his hand and ran over a little recklessly, Su Ranran looked at him slowly approaching him, but unconsciously took a step back......
confession
A man with short brown hair and glasses was nervously running towards the playground, panting and looking childish.
Zhuang Zixiao, this is his name, he who agreed to meet Su Ranran, there should be something delayed, so it is particularly urgent.
"Hey, come here. ”
A female voice came from the side, looking in the direction of the sound, Bai Ling was sitting on a bench in the playground, waving his hand, motioning for him to pass.
"Is there anything wrong?" he walked over with some eagerness.
That's right, it's almost time, he just wants to hurry to Su Ranran's place, so he didn't sit down, just walked to a position where he could hear Bai Ling's words, thinking that he would leave quickly after she finished speaking.
"Do you know what Su Ranran has been doing for more than a month?" Bai Ling looked very calm, sat upright, raised his head, and looked at him with a straight face, intending to slowly clarify with him.
She didn't want Zhuang Zixiao to see Su Ranran without any psychological preparation, after all, this was also a major event that ordinary people couldn't accept in an instant.
"Huh?" He didn't understand what Bai Ling was saying, and subconsciously took a step closer, frowning slightly, perhaps still wondering why Bai Ling was still that girl.
"I said, in the more than a month that you have not been in contact with her, do you know what she has been through?" Bai Ling repeated again.
didn't answer, that is, he didn't know by default, how could he know about the pain that Su Ranran experienced.
Then, Bai Ling briefly told him, including Su Ranran's murder, imprisonment, and transfer to the strange special district, but only about her.
"This is a fact, I don't need to lie to you," looking at Zhuang Zixiao with a suspicious face, Bai Ling closed his eyes for a few seconds, "You just need to think about it a little, whether you still love her like that." She got up, smiled, and left silently, she didn't want to sway other people's thoughts, she just guessed what Su Ranran would say later.
She is a person who checks the information of the people around her, sometimes because she is afraid that others will deceive her, and sometimes she is just curious and kind.
The child was left in place, his head slightly bowed, thinking about something, and the breeze blew, and his delicate little face, which had never experienced wind and rain, suddenly perked up.
Well, it's decided!
Surely this was what he thought at that moment.
Then, just as Su Ranran saw, he ran over and ran towards her a little farther away.
"I've been waiting for a long time!" he waved his hand and panted to Su Ranran's side, with a reckless expression on his face.
"Zi Xiao, is there something wrong?" Su Ranran asked a little timidly, she had already guessed what the person opposite her would say, and she was ready to answer.
"That ......" Zhuang Zixiao stammered a little for a moment, although he had rehearsed it countless times, it was still like this, "Ran Ran, please...... Please mingle with me!" He bowed ninety degrees and said what he wanted to say more than a month ago, closing his eyes tightly in anticipation of a response.
Su Ranran looked at the boy in front of him, who was only one year older than herself, and smiled bitterly in her heart.
"See, that's exactly what happened. The self-talk in my head suddenly remembered, full of irony.
She choked up a little, and the prepared answer did not come out at the first time.
Looking at Zhuang Zixiao, who had not stood up for a long time, for some reason, she cried, and her tears couldn't stop flowing......
