Chapter 253: Strength
Zhuang Yan didn't expect to meet any lotus here. The small shop is not large, and there are not many people who will come to eat, Zhuang Yan saw her at a glance.
Ren Lian also raised her head in surprise, and after seeing Zhuang Yan, her eyes lit up, and her face seemed to bloom, "Ziyan, you're here." ”
If Zhuang Yan is careful enough, she will find the abnormality of Ren Lian's words, logically speaking, when she meets here, her first reaction should be the same as Zhuang Yan's, "Why are you here", but she said "You are here", it sounds like a guest has arrived home.
The reason why she blurted out this sentence was entirely because she had been looking forward to Zhuang Yan's arrival for a long time.
Where is there any chance encounter, since she arrived in Jinling for a few days, every day she has to run to this store to eat duck blood vermicelli, and a meal is for an hour or two, one at noon, one at night, and three or four hours a day.
Just because Zhuang Yan mentioned that she liked to eat this duck blood vermicelli soup at that time, she remembered it in her heart, and at the same time looked forward to him coming over in the next two days.
Zhuang Yan didn't know about all this, and thought that it was such a coincidence, and he happened to run into it.
Zhuang Yan smiled and sat down next to Ren Lian, and said: "I really didn't expect to meet you here, the duck blood vermicelli soup I told you in Yanjing before is this one, I originally thought that if you were still in Jinling in two days, I would bring you to eat, but I didn't expect you to come over by yourself." ”
"Really?" asked Ren Lian.
Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment: "Well, is it true?"
"You said you were going to invite me to duck blood vermicelli soup, is it true?"
Zhuang Yan nodded, "Of course it's true." ”
He didn't lie, he did think about it in the past two days, Ren Lian came to Jinling, although he didn't come to him, but as the host, he should also do his best to be a landlord. I happened to tell them about duck blood vermicelli soup in Yanjing before, so I was going to find a time to invite her to eat, but I didn't expect her to come by herself.
Hearing Zhuang Yan's words, Ren Lian smiled even brighter, "It just so happens that I haven't paid the money yet, you settle the account when you go back, even if you bring me to eat this meal." ”
Zhuang Yan also smiled: "Your requirements are not high, but then again, how did you find this shop? Although this shop is delicious, it is not very famous, and I am a local and I only knew that there is such a shop by chance." ”
"This shop is more famous than you think, I saw it on the forum in Jinling, so I came here. ”
Ren Lian did see this shop on the Jinling Forum, but that was a few months ago. That time, she took He Xiaoya to Jinling to participate in Zhuang Yan's signing meeting, and she didn't have anything to do on the plane to find on the Internet.
Zhuang Yan nodded, the Internet is a good thing, it can make people more local than locals.
"Have you been to Jinling for the past few days?" Zhuang Yan asked.
Ren Lian shook her head, "No, the snow on the ground hasn't melted away two days ago, and it's not convenient to go out, so I'll go around the city." Oh, by the way, I just went to the bookstore. ”
Saying that, Ren Lian took out a book from the handbag next to her, it was Zhuang Yan's new book "The Old Man and the Sea", and took the book in her hand, Ren Lian said: "I didn't go to the bookstore for anything else, just for this book." ”
Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "Didn't Brother Wang say that he would give you a copy directly from the publishing house, why did he buy it himself." ”
"I'm not in Yanjing, I'm in a hurry to see it. Ren Lian smiled, "Besides, I finally came to Jinling, just buy a copy and let you sign for me." ”
"It's easy. ”
Zhuang Yan took out the pen he carried with him from his pocket, took the book and signed his name with a brush, and after signing, he felt that it was too ordinary, and wrote a sentence in the blank space above the name: People are not born to fail, people can be destroyed, but they cannot be defeated.
After writing, Zhuang Yan put away the pen and handed the book back to Ren Lian.
Ren Lian held the book and looked at the words on the title page, and read it softly: "People are not born to fail...... Is that what the book says?"
Zhuang Yan nodded, "Well, it's the most important sentence in the book." ”
"The most important word...... "Ren Lian muttered, "I'm afraid this book is a book full of power." ”
It is indeed a very powerful book, but now that Zhuang Yan is the author of this book, it is not suitable to talk too much with Ren Lian, so he just said with a smile: "Everyone will have different feelings when reading a book, whether it is powerful or not, you have to feel it yourself." ”
Ren Lian nodded approvingly: "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people." ”
Then she shifted her words, "But I still hope I can feel empowered by your book." ”
Zhuang Yan didn't know what to say, because Ren Lian hadn't read this book yet, and he was a little more powerful than his own book.
Fortunately, at this time, the duck blood vermicelli soup he ordered came up, and he also had a reason to stop the topic.
Ren Lian had finished eating, and when Zhuang Yan was eating, she was flipping "The Old Man and the Sea" on the side, but after reading two pages, she didn't turn it again, but put the book back in her bag and said: "I'd better go back and read it again, I feel very stressed to read his book in front of the author." ”
And Zhuang Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, she only said that it was stressful to read his book in front of the author, but she didn't know that the author was also very uncomfortable seeing the readers next to her reading his book.
After Zhuang Yan finished eating, Ren Lian suddenly thought of something again, and said: "I almost forgot one thing, there is a little guy at home, she is also your fan, I have to bring her a book back, and I have to trouble you to sign it again." ”
Zhuang Yan waved his hand generously, "It's all a small matter, just tell me how many signatures you want." ”
"Not too many, just sign another one. Oh, by the way, and the scarf you left with me last time, you can come with me to get it later. Ren Lian said.
Zhuang Yan also thought that he still had a scarf on Ren Lian's side, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get it later." ”
After sitting in the store and saying a few more words, Zhuang Yan checked out and took Ren Lian away.
When passing by the Zhonghua Bookstore, the two went in and bought another copy of "The Old Man and the Sea". Fortunately, Zhuang Yanbao is strict, if he is found to have to go to the bookstore to buy his own books, he will make jokes again.
In fact, Zhuang Yan has a lot of copies of "The Old Man and the Sea" at home, all of which were sent by the publishing house and used to give them away. However, Zhuang Yan was too lazy to run back to get it, so he bought a copy at the bookstore.
also signed his name, but Zhuang Yan thought about it and didn't know what else to write, so he didn't sign it.
Merry Christmas, but we haven't had snow here this year......
