Offline book signing?! Yiyu had only heard of it online before.

In order to meet the needs of readers, some authors of popular books will hold book signing sessions offline.

But I have never experienced it, and there is a lot of traffic at the offline signing meeting. She has always just wanted to be a transparent person and try to bury herself in the crowd.

"Let's come to the editorial office tomorrow." The phone vibrated twice.

"Okay." Yi Yu went back to the past.

She stirred up the noodles that were a little lumpy, which was supposed to be a hearty meal, but she didn't have the heart to eat them anymore.

The dark bells ticked and ticked, and the little rental house was shrouded in darkness again, with only a little moonlight breaking through a small passageway.

Yiyu walked around the room, but he couldn't calm down.

The next day was a rainy day, and Yiyu walked under the rain with an umbrella, and the raindrops fell on the umbrella surface, making a ticking sound.

Yiyu actually likes this kind of weather, it's summer, and the temperature will drop a little after the rain. When the rain falls on the calves, there is a feeling of coolness.

But she doesn't like heavy rain, which always hinders people's travel, which can be a headache for people who are far away from where they work.

Walking to the literature department, Bai Yi'an was typing on the keyboard on his desk, making a crackling sound.

He noticed Yiyu coming, "Here, do you want something to drink?" ”

"A glass of water is fine." Yiyu found a place to sit.

"Okay, when I deal with the matter at hand, I'll take you to meet the new editor-in-chief, and she said that she wanted to hold a signing party."

Got a new editor-in-chief? She hadn't been to the editorial office for several days, and it felt like the people around her had changed.

Bai Yi'an brought a glass of water and handed it to Yiyu, and then returned to the computer to type on the keyboard.

"What are you doing?" Yiyu asked him with a sip of water.

"I'm sorting out some manuscripts submitted by authors, after all, I can't just care about you alone, and there aren't so many editors."

"Oh, I didn't know it at first, and yes, I haven't written a new manuscript in a long time."

"It's okay to slow down, there are still a lot of things to do in the follow-up of "Wonderful Travels", which is enough for you to be busy." Bai Yi'an smiled.

It seems that he is looking forward to the signing meeting, in fact, the average author will look forward to it, except for her.

"That...... Can I not go to the book signing? Yiyu whispered.

"What are you talking about, most of those readers are rushing to you, I, the editor, I don't think too many people will notice." Bai Yi'an stopped what he was doing and looked at her.

"Ah, I'm just talking about it." Yiyu's voice was very low, since Bai Yi'an said this, she couldn't refuse strongly.

"Wait for me a moment." Bai Yi'an's action of tapping the keyboard became faster.

After a while, he stopped what he was doing and pulled out a stack of papers from a drawer.

"Here, you don't know what the signing process will be, when the time comes, we will have time to look through it, and now let's go to the editor-in-chief's office."

Yiyu stretched out his hand to take it, and taking such a thing proves that he can't go back on it.

Knock knock knock - Bai Yi'an knocked lightly on the door a few times.

"Come in......" came a young female voice through the door.

They opened the door and walked in and saw a young woman sitting in a leather chair.

Yiyu was a little surprised, but heard Bai Yi'an introduce: "This is the new editor-in-chief Bai, editor-in-chief, this is the author of "Wonderful Travels". ”

"And you have the same surname? ......" Yiyu whispered.

"Yes, my surname is also Bai, fortunately." Editor-in-Chief Bai got up from his chair, "I'm the new editor-in-chief." ”

Yiyu really saw the appearance of the editor-in-chief Bai clearly. She has a slender figure and wears a tight-fitting hip-hugging professional attire.

She wears a delicate makeup, and the most striking thing is that she wears a red lipstick on her mouth.

Editor-in-chief Bai stretched out his hand to shake hands: "You are the author of "Wonderful Travels", you look so petite and cute, different from what I imagined." ”

Yiyu stretched out his hand to shake her: "Hello, editor-in-chief." ”

"Sit down and have a cup of tea, you two have made a lot of contributions to our Faculty of Literature." Editor-in-Chief Bai withdrew his hand, picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea and handed them to them.

"The editor-in-chief is too complimentary, and the author is a bit introverted, don't you mind." Bai Yi'an responded.

"How can I mind, I should thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been sent by the headquarters to be the editor-in-chief." Editor-in-Chief Bai smiled brightly.

Yiyu looked at her and felt that it could be described in one word - Mingyan.

They chatted a few more times, and the editor-in-chief left because he had something to do.

Bai Yi'an walked beside him, humming a song in his mouth, as if he was very happy.

"What's the fun?" Yiyu couldn't help but ask him.

"That annoying editor-in-chief is finally gone, don't you think this editor-in-chief who is here now is good? Our editorial staff liked her very much, she didn't have a shelf, and she was very beautiful. Bai Yi'an replied.

"It's mainly because of the beauty......" Yiyu somehow blurted out this sentence.

"If it's okay, I'll go first." Yiyu knew that what he said was too abrupt, so he hurriedly said something and walked out.

"Alas......" She heard Bai Yi'an speak from behind, but didn't catch up.

Pretty people can really get a different kind of favor. All people are the same, and who doesn't love beautiful things?

But why did she have such a big reaction when it was such a normal thing? She couldn't think clearly.

She drove to the convenience store, and Jiang Jiang was looking at ice cream in front of the freezer. After hesitating for a while, he took out an ice cream and ate it by himself.

"You, all the wages have been eaten." Yiyu nodded her forehead.

"Oh, Sister Yiyu, why didn't you come here quietly, I'm still going to eat secretly." Jiang Jiang smiled awkwardly.

"You can eat, you have to do a good job, don't eat when there are many guests, otherwise the impact will not be good." Yiyu reminded.

"Yes, yes, so I took advantage of this time when no one was eating, Sister Yiyu, why did you come here so early?"

"It's nothing, it's just nothing to do, come and have a look."

"Then help me take a look at the store, I'll go and eat this ice cream." Jiang Jiang is set almost.

"Go ahead, I'll tally the goods." Yiyu waved his hand.

She touched the shelves, saw the dust on her fingers, and said that she took good care of it, and she couldn't cry or laugh, twisted a rag and began to scrub.

"Sister Yiyu, I'm done eating, I'll help you." Jiang Jiang also took a rag and wiped it in style.

Yiyu couldn't help but think of Bai Yi'an's expression when she went to the editorial department, that kind of expression she hadn't seen before, she felt. He must have liked the editor-in-chief.

"Jiang Jiang, ...... I ask you something?"

"What?"

"Do men be happy when they see beautiful women?"

"I am always fascinated when I see beautiful women, and men are no exception."

"Oh, that's it......"

"What, Sister Yiyu, are you jealous because of which woman?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's just that the unit has a new editor-in-chief, who looks very beautiful."

"Wow, I want to see beautiful women too, but I actually have beautiful women to see right now." Jiang Jiang raised his eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" Yiyu was confused.

"The beauty is you, Sister Yiyu." Jiang Jiang laughed.

Bai Yi'an later sent her a message, informing her that the signing meeting was scheduled in a week, and asked her to prepare well.

Yiyu looked through the signing process that Bai Yi'an handed over to her at that time, but the more she looked at it, the more messed up her brain became.

I remember when I used to study, when I was studying, new students would get together and ask for self-introduction. When it was about to be her turn, her heart was pounding, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

She hopes to make a good first impression, but it turns out to be messed up.

She walked up to the podium, felt trembling all over, and didn't know how to speak, and finally squeezed out a few words: "My name is Yiyu, and it is also ...... It is also true and false, and Yu is lush and lush. My hobbies are...... Write something. ”

At first, her classmates were interested in her hobby of writing, but when time passed, no one would remember that her hobby was writing.

Her aunt would always train her at home, saying that she was "too introverted and cowardly." In fact, it is undeniable that Yiyu also feels that he is too cowardly.

I am such a person, how can I bravely face the hundreds, or even thousands, of people at the signing meeting?

She didn't want to think about it anymore, and if she could escape, she would never choose to face it.

Zhao Ke sent her a message that his mother would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and ask her to go to dinner.

They entertained her warmly, and she couldn't refuse, so Yiyu replied with a good word.

Zhao Ke's agreed location was a Western restaurant in a shopping mall, and he was probably afraid that the etiquette would not be good, so he thought that he should book a high-end place to eat.

Yiyu arrived at the restaurant on time, and Zhao Ke walked slowly over with his mother in his arms.

"Ke, why did you book such an expensive place, let's go elsewhere." Zhao Ke's mother frowned when she saw the gorgeous decoration inside through the door of the restaurant.

"Mom, I just want to come and take you to enjoy it, and besides, Yiyu has helped us so much, so I have to invite her to dinner." Zhao Ke winked at Yiyu.

"Yes, Auntie, don't be reluctant to enjoy it." Yiyu was on the side to help talk.

"Well, I haven't eaten this foreign food yet, so let's try it." Zhao Ke's mother nodded when she heard Yiyu say this.

They ordered three steaks and added a salad.

"Yiyu, Mom, why don't we drink orange juice, you two can't touch the wine." Zhao Ke looked at the menu and asked them.

"No need, I just need plain water, my aunt has just been discharged from the hospital, and it's not good to drink juice." Yiyu replied.

"Yes, just drink plain water, you see that other girls think much more thoughtfully than you." Zhao Ke's mother looked at Yiyu, and her eyes were full of joy.

"Okay, okay, then I will replace wine with water, this cup to honor Mom, I wish you good health and no illness." Zhao Ke clinks glasses with his mother.

After drinking the glass of water, Zhao Ke poured another cup and handed it to Yiyu, "This cup is for you, thank you for taking care of my mother, my mother just entered the operating room at that time, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to support it." ”

"No, you've helped me a lot." Yiyu picked up the cup and touched him.

After they finished eating, Zhao Ke's mother insisted that Zhao Ke send Yiyu home.

"I'll drive you." Zhao Ke looked serious.

"Driving?" Yiyu doesn't remember that Zhao Ke drove to the convenience store every day.

"Bikes." Zhao Ke chuckled.

She sat on the back seat of the bicycle, inevitably touching her body, and Yiyu gently pinched Zhao Ke's clothes with two fingers.

"You stay safe, hold on to me, be careful that it will fall." Zhao Ke noticed her cautious hand, "It's okay, are you still afraid of taking advantage of me?" ”

"Thank you." Yiyu felt the acceleration, and unconsciously reached out to grab Zhao Ke's waist.
