Tang Mingyao didn't understand, Luo Wenxi suddenly asked him what he was going to do to borrow the stamp album, because this girl was not interested in stamp collecting, and when she used to have new stamps, they were directly given to him.

But since his girlfriend opened his mouth, he naturally wouldn't be stingy and directly delivered the philatelic book to her.

"I'll give it back to you in a few days."

Luo Wenxi said holding the booklet.

The two walked a few steps, and when they were about to arrive at the door of Tang Mingyao's house, Luo Wenxi said again: "I feel that I am so useless, just now you and that Yu Ziqiang almost fought, I can't do anything, I can only watch stupidly from the side." ”

Tang Mingyao smiled: "You don't need to do anything, I can deal with this kind of thing, and I should deal with it." ”

"But I want to protect you."

Tang Mingyao was stunned and said, "Why do you have this idea? According to most people's theories, shouldn't boys protect girls? ”

Luo Wenxi said stubbornly: "I just want to protect you." Hou Yan can help you, so scared that Yu Ziqiang didn't dare to mess around, but I could only hide aside, and I didn't know how to help if I wanted to. ”

Tang Mingyao understood.

This girl's mind is a little complicated now, both the element of competing with Hou Yan, and the frustration of her powerlessness in the incident just now.

He explained one by one: "Hou Yan, her father is a big official and can command the police department, so she dares to scold Yu Ziqiang loudly, and she also dares to stand up and uphold the justice in her heart, because Yu Ziqiang doesn't dare to do anything to her." Her confidence comes from her father. If you have to say that you are inferior to hers, it is that you were born into different families, and your father is not as good as her father......"

Luo Wenxi was a little better, but he was still a little entangled: "I think, even if my dad is very powerful, in that situation just now, I still don't dare to stand up, I seem to lack courage." ”

"How do you know you don't dare?" Tang Mingyao pondered his rhetoric, "Let's assume a situation, if I and Yu Ziqiang fought just now, and I can't beat it, will you stand up and protect me?" ”

"Yes!"

"That's it. You don't lack courage, you just have a milder personality and are not so easily provoked. When things touch the bottom line, you will also burst with great courage. ”

Luo Wenxi showed a smile on his face and was relieved.

Tang Mingyao analyzed another point: "Do you think in your heart that Hou Yan is good at everything, she is too good, and when you stand with her, you have a huge sense of threat?" Feel like an ugly duckling, with low self-esteem? ”

"Yes...... A little bit. ”

"Everyone has their own strengths, and you envy her advantages and feel that you are inferior to them. But where you can't see, maybe she's envious of you, too? ”

"What do I have to envy her?"

Tang Mingyao said: "Give a few examples. First, you have a near-perfect boyfriend and she doesn't, shouldn't she envy you? ”

Luo Wenxi sneered: "You are cheeky! How can anyone boast about himself like this? ”

"Second, you're prettier than her, and you're more girly than her. She looks cold and indifferent, and she looks like she rejects people thousands of miles away all the time, this kind of character is very unpleasant, and it is difficult to make close friends. Shouldn't she envy you at this point? ”

"Like."

"One more thing, you're long-haired, she's short-haired, and I think she must be envious of you."

"Why?"

"Because most boys like girls with long hair."

Luo Wenxi was embarrassed: "Talking nonsense, beating you!" ”

Pick up the philatelic album and smash him.

Tang Mingyao dodged again and again, and the two chased each other on the street, and the unhappy feeling before was suddenly left behind.

…………

It's a new week.

Life was on track, and within a few days, the April issue of Hot Wind magazine was launched.

Tang Mingyao didn't have time to buy it, so Luo Wenxi helped him bring a copy to the classroom.

Tang Mingyao saw that the finale of "Modern Legends" had been published on it, and it was still a key project recommended on the cover.

He also found the last issue of the reader survey poll, and he beat several other martial arts stories to continue to rank first.

Luo Wenxi also brought him a message, saying that the editor left a message in the mailbox and had important matters to discuss with him.

After evening self-study, Tang Mingyao rode to Luo Wenxi's house.

Luo's mother and Luo Xiaobo are both at home.

This made him want to get tired of his girlfriend for a while, and when Luo Wenxi turned on the computer, he sat on the chair and looked at the contents of the mailbox.

As Luo Wenxi said, the email was sent by editor Yang Bing, saying that he was looking for him for something, but his QQ was not online, so he could only leave a message in the mailbox, asking him to reply as soon as possible after receiving it.

Tang Mingyao opened QQ and saw that among his three friends, "Meet Happiness" and "Xuan" were not online.

The only one who is online is a person named "Night Snow Streamer".

Who's this?

I don't know.

Tang Mingyao clicked on the opening picture and sent a message: Yang Bing editor?

Night Snow Streamer: It's me.

Tang Mingyao: Why did you change your screen name? I almost didn't recognize it.,Fortunately, I have few friends in QQ.。

Night Snow Streamer: Isn't the screen name just used to change? Seriously, because since the magazine was revised, sales have been on the rise, and your "Modern Legends" has played an important role in it. And you have a total of three novels, with a total of more than 190,000 words, so the magazine decided to publish a single book for it, I want to ask you what your opinion is?

Tang Mingyao: Sales have been on the rise? How much has it gone up?

Night Snow Streamer: The sales volume in January this year was more than 80,000 copies, and the sales began to rise in February, and the sales volume in April was almost 200,000.

Is this more than doubled? Sure enough, it went all the way up.

Tang Mingyao: What is the nature of a single book? Do I have a manuscript fee?

Night Snow Streamer: It's about the same as publishing, there is no manuscript fee, but there are royalties. The price of our tentative single book is 18 yuan per book, and you can get 8% of the royalty, and the larger the circulation, the more royalties.

Tang Mingyao: Can 8% be changed to 10%?

Night Snow Streamer: The train is big, 8% is already very high, and our magazine also needs to eat. If it can be raised, I will definitely take the initiative to help you rise, you are now our pillar, and even the editor-in-chief will not dare to offend you.

Tang Mingyao: That's nothing, let's do it according to your plan.

Night Snow Streamer: There is another thing, you need to write a preface to the book, give it to me before the 25th, and it will be printed and published next month.

Tang Mingyao replied: Okay, I'll send you an email in a few days.

Line.

He clenched his fist excitedly.

Single book, published ......

This kind of thing used to be so far away, and before I knew it, it actually befell me.

"With my published work, I can also claim to be a writer?"

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Tang Mingyao's mind, and his sense of happiness was like a massive amount of fine wine pouring in from the top of his head, and his whole body was transparent and refreshing.

After settling down, he found that Luo Wenxi was standing beside him, his cheeks flushed. Obviously, she also saw the content of the chat with the editor, and there was a pity.

Tang Mingyao hugged her excitedly and spun around in place.

"Ahh

Luo Wenxi screamed in fright.

Luo's mother asked in the living room, "What's the ghost called?" ”

"It's okay, the water spilled and almost wet the keyboard." She replied calmly, turned around and slapped Tang Mingyao, and whispered, "Let me down, my mother will die when she sees it!" ”
