After signing that contract, Ji Cheng took the time to do some research on RandomHouse.

The Chinese name translates to Random House, a company that appears to be the leading boss of American commercial publishing, according to information she Googled. And under its umbrella, it is also divided into nine publishing brands, not only popular novels, but also high-end literary works, business technology and so on.

Ji Cheng's Seven Kingdoms is, of course, included in the category of popular novels.

I always feel a little excited, what if my novel becomes popular in the United States?

Ji Cheng smirked and daydreamed, but within a few days she realized a cruel truth.

Regardless of what happened to other countries, the third part of "Seven Kingdoms", which is scheduled to start serialization in China, is still in Kavin.

Ji Cheng felt that he needed to stimulate his brain.

The Seven Kingdoms series has been written so far, and there are four main key words that will not be missing in each part: fantasy, adventure, love, and war.

Fantasy and war can be solved by accumulating materials and studying related books; Although it is not easy to take risks in the reality of peace, Ji Cheng can also stimulate himself in some other ways; As for love......

Mike is not a university student, he just graduated from another drama school last year and is currently working odd jobs while taking on small roles to gain acting experience.

Olivia told Ji Cheng that in fact, Mike's family background is very good, as long as he is willing, he doesn't have to live this kind of hard work of double or even multiple jobs.

Diligent, not flashy, and willing to bear hardships and stand hard work. Well, she loved it.

After listening to this, Ji Cheng silently added points to Mike in his heart.

Since the day he and Ji Cheng (unilaterally) exchanged numbers, Mike often appeared on or near Ji Cheng's campus, asking her out, or watching movies, or shopping for dinner.

Ji Cheng probably understands in his heart that between the two, it is probably a trial love period, and they get along to a certain extent, and if they see the right eye, if they don't see it right, then they can only sigh that there is no fate.

"Then again, don't you have to work every day? Doesn't it affect you to hang out with me so often? Ji Cheng and Mike were walking side by side in the square when they suddenly thought of this question.

Mike smiled: "Actually, I started saving money for myself when I was in college, and I didn't go to work after graduation, and I could eat for a year or two." So I'm quitting one of my odd jobs now, or what if I don't chase you now and you're snatched up by the other boys in your school? ”

"Do you really like me?" Ji Cheng looked at him with bright eyes, and added at the end, "Don't prevaricate, tell the truth." ”

"Actually, I really didn't like it that much at first." After saying this, Mike saw Ji Cheng with one cheek bulging, and he couldn't laugh or cry, "But at the beginning, it was impossible to love like in the movie, but you really, it makes me feel very happy to get along." ”

"And what do you like about me?"

Mike was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, opened his mouth and closed it again, as if he wanted to express something, but he couldn't express it well, and finally blushed before he spit out a short sentence: "You are beautiful." ”

"Oh my God, young man, this isn't even a passing answer." Ji Cheng shook his head with a look of hatred, "Come on, come on, let's find a place to sit down, and I'll give you a good lesson in flirting skills." ”

Mike: ∑q|Д|p

Why do you always feel that the development of this date is not the right step?

Ji Cheng pulled the bewildered Mike to a nearby café and cafe, asked for two cups of mocha, and then picked a good position by the window, and took out the pocket pen and miniature notebook he carried with him.

"First of all, flirting girl skill one, you have to be handsome." Ji Cheng wrote down this sentence, and then looked at Mike carefully, "Well, it's good, you meet this condition, so we can skip the remedy of people who aren't handsome for the time being and go straight to the second step." ”

Mike opened his mouth slightly and nodded imperceptibly.

"The second step is to be able to talk. Now let's assume that this is the bar and I'm a lonely ...... Phew, I'm a single young woman who seems to be lonely and in a bad mood and is borrowing alcohol to kill her sorrows, and you are looking for a suitable girlfriend, how will you talk to me? ”

“…… About? ”

━━∑(￣□￣*|||I've never seen anyone so puzzled.

Ji Chenghua was stoned for a full five seconds, and then silently drank a large cup of coffee to suppress himself: "Okay, if the scene and dialogue we just set are all in line, you will be splashed with the wine in my hand and I will leave now, so your answer is a complete failure." ”

"Now, come up with another one for me!" Ji Cheng slammed the table.

"I—May I treat you to a drink?"

"Well, at least this answer won't make you be treated as a pervert by a girl in the first place." Ji Cheng looked a little reluctant and nodded, "Then next, I agree that you will invite me to have a drink, and then what are you going to do?" ”

"Sit next to you and drink with you."

"And what are you going to say during the drinking?"

"Uh, you—you're going to follow me...... Social? ”

……

"Okay, I see." Ji Cheng nodded and stood up, "Now that our hypothetical identities have changed, you are the single young woman who looks lonely and in a bad mood and is borrowing alcohol to kill her sorrows, and I am looking for a new girlfriend, now I will talk to you." ”

After Ji Cheng said this, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Mike with a playful smile in his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he sat next to him.

"Forgive me for taking the plunge." Ji Cheng propped his chin on the table with one hand, and took the mocha coffee in front of Mike with the other hand, that is, the wine glass in the fantasy scene, "It's not good to drink too much of this kind of strong wine, especially since you are still a cute and charming young lady." ”

After saying that, Ji Cheng beckoned to the imaginary waiter and asked for another glass of wine: "If you don't mind, you can try this glass of "Passion Coast", vodka can satisfy the excitement you want, and the sweet and sour flavors of orange and cranberry are also very suitable for young ladies. Of course, I'm in for a treat. ”

"Mind giving me this honor?" Ji Cheng moved his body slightly towards Mike's side and winked at him, his eyes flashing.

Mike looked at her in a daze, and suddenly grabbed Ji Cheng's hand: "You, are you willing to be with me?" ”

Wait, how did it come so easy to overcome, it's different from what she said in the script she just conceived? This kid is so undisciplined!

"Ahem, no, you should ...... at this time" Ji Cheng was suddenly stunned halfway through his words.

Because of the previous seating choice, she was now sitting by the window with Mike, and because of the conversation, she was sitting outside Mike, who was looking at her seriously, and at the same time looking in the direction of the restaurant.

And what Ji Cheng saw was the direction outside the window.

Outside the window, there was a man with sunglasses, but even though the other party was wearing sunglasses, Ji Cheng recognized it at a glance.

Ah, my sister is still that sister, and the steaming is still the same steaming.

Ji Cheng has been focusing on this "situational drama" since just now, so although he didn't care much when he saw the approaching figures outside, and now that everyone has walked to the glass window, Ji Cheng was interrupted by Mike just now and shook his head, just in front of James's meaningless gaze.

It's over, the whole process of her just hooking up with the "girl" won't be seen by steaming, right?

Well, if you really see it all, then you can go to the dog leash.

Compared with the steaming that is completely full of "Flirting Girl Crazy Demon" skill points unconsciously enough, her little insect carving skill is not enough to see at all.

This is the hatchet of the class! This is Dong Shi Xiaofeng! This is a big knife in front of Guan Gong!

Shame on the QWQ

The "girl" who was hooked up looked at Ji Cheng strangely: "Hey, Orange? What happened to you? Am I taking the initiative too much? ”

Having said that, Mike still didn't let go of Ji Cheng's hand.

Ji Cheng temporarily shifted his attention back to Mike, and twitched his hand back imperceptibly.

James stepped out of front of the glass window.

Gone, Ji Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether to be happy or depressed now.

But soon, James reappeared, only this time through the main entrance.

Ji Cheng finally succeeded in pulling his hand back, and Mike was puzzled, Ji Cheng pointed at James who was walking towards them, and laughed dryly: "There are acquaintances, there are acquaintances." ”

Walking to the table where the two were, James simply took off his sunglasses.

"James Walker?!" Mike apparently knew James. The popularity of the drama broadcast before the latter is not low, and he himself takes many actors who are in the same age group as him as the object of effort or comparison.

"It's good, since everyone is acquaintance, let's sit down and have a good cup of coffee. Uh, another Mocha? ”

"No need, I'm here to find you, and your classmate sues me that you're around here."

James stared at Ji Cheng with a somewhat strange expression, and after his gaze swept back and forth between the two, he picked up Ji Cheng and left.

“Wait！”

“Wait……”

The two sentences with different intonation and momentum, but the same words used, were spoken by Mike and Ji Cheng at the same time.

James' footsteps paused.

Then Ji Cheng's phone rang.

God, it is definitely an angel who calls to solve the siege at this time, Ji Cheng quickly let go of James holding her hand, took out her mobile phone, and didn't notice the displeasure in James's eyes at the moment when she let go of her hand.

The caller was an unfamiliar number, and the voice was a little familiar when connected.

"Who are you?" Ji Cheng looked a little confused.

"Tsk, you forgot about me so quickly, it seems that the impression left on you that day was not deep enough." The voice on the other end of the phone was deliberately slightly prolonged at the end of the sentence, and although the tone was very gentle, it still couldn't hide the perverted feeling.

Ji Cheng's face darkened: "Fuck! ”

What are you doing again?!
