The gift Zhang Mingyang received that night was two hardcover physical books, signed by the girl Juanxiu.

Bai Xia Rujiu, the pen name of Xia Xingruo.

Zhang Mingyang knew it was Xia Xingruo, but after sobering up the next day, he still pretended to be surprised and said that the boss was actually by my side.

"Summer Solstice Call" has achieved very good results since I subscribed to it on the Internet.

Soon a publishing house found the website and said it would release physical books.

The physical book is divided into two volumes, upper and lower, and is beautifully packaged.

There is also an artistic photo of this beautiful writer on the title page.

When she went back that afternoon, Xia Xingruo thought for a long time about what birthday gift she should give to her junior.

If the gift is too expensive, she feels that the two of them are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, so it seems inappropriate. If the gift is too cheap, she feels that it is too perfunctory.

Finally, she saw the set of signed books on the desk that were originally intended for Bai Banxia.

I'm sorry, dear sister, sacrifice yourself once for my love! I'll treat you to dinner when I get back.

Anyway, she had already planned to tell her junior that she was Bai Xiarujiu, and also wanted to invite him to a book signing, so it would not be a surprise to give him these two books.

But the thought of confessing made her nervous again.

When a girl loses her courage and doesn't know what to do.

Zhang Mingyang appeared downstairs in the women's dormitory with the chestnuts he had just bought that were still warm.

She plucked up the courage and finally gave the birthday gift.

My junior had drunk too much that night, so he probably remembered some things but not others.

When I woke up the next morning, I was surprised that she turned out to be Bai Xiarujiu. I have always liked your works.

As for the subsequent tenderness, neither of them mentioned it tacitly.

Knowing that she was Bai Xiaru, after drinking, her junior disciple pestered her every day and said, Sister Ruoruo, your new book only adds one chapter every day, it is so short, do you have a lot of saved manuscripts, can you show me in advance.

Xia Xingruo sternly rejected Zhang Mingyang, saying that this was the result of the author's hard work and we should support the genuine version.

He had to admit that Xia Xingruo usually worked hard.

In the past, she only needed to code words, but now she has an additional task, helping him draw art materials.

The autograph session is scheduled for August 11th.

There were two major events on this day. In addition to Xia Xingruo's autograph session, the first version of the Qinglian app was also officially put into testing.

The first is internal testing to see if there are any fatal bugs. Next is online testing to test the stability of the program.

After two rounds of testing, the country’s first dedicated online dating app will be officially launched.

After learning that the two things happened together, Xia Xingruo suggested that he go to the autograph session alone.

After working with her junior for more than a month, she also understood the importance of this software to Zhang Mingyang.

But Zhang Mingyang said that it was no problem. It was his honor to be invited by his senior sister, and he would go with her no matter what happened.

In his last life, he missed several autograph signings for mature women because of his busy work schedule.

On the few occasions when he was out of town, he didn't go with him.

He didn't want to miss it again this time, not to mention it was the first autograph signing in his life, such an important moment.

Before leaving, Zhang Mingyang told everyone to contact him immediately if they encounter any bugs, and he would provide remote guidance.

Although he is very confident in the code he has written, there is no guarantee that some magical bug will pop up in the program and catch everyone off guard.

A well-known programmer once said that as long as your program runs normally, don't touch it.

On the day of the autograph session, the two got up early.

Xia Xingruo put on a black business suit and small leather shoes on her feet.

Putting on this outfit, the senior's temperament instantly changed.

She no longer looks like a student, but an elite white-collar worker who sits in the office every day. This image now is also the Xia Xingruo that Zhang Mingyang met later.

But no matter how much he pretends to be mature, Xia Xingruo is still only nineteen years old.

The rich collagen on the oval face also reveals the youthfulness and tenderness unique to a girl.

"Where are you looking!" Xia Xingruo glared at Zhang Mingyang. From the moment she came down from the dormitory building to now, the junior fellow student has been staring at her legs without concealing his eyes at all.

"I'm appreciating art." Zhang Mingyang said boldly: "Sister, don't move. I'll take a picture for you first."

For today's autograph session, Zhang Mingyang specially borrowed a digital camera from Shi Mingli.

Xia Xingruo's pretty face was slightly red, but she still cooperated with Zhang Mingyang's words and stood still.

She held the small bag in her hands, with a peaceful smile on her face, and the morning breeze blew her shawl hair.

"Okay, perfect!"

To match the black business suit, Xia Xingruo's fair and smooth legs were also wrapped in slightly transparent black stockings.

What man can stand a hip-hugging skirt and black stockings?

"Okay, hurry up and go to the cafeteria to eat. It will be too late soon."

Seeing her junior's gaze, the scheming mature woman was shy on the outside, but she was still a little happy in her heart.

In order to show her maturity as a senior, she had long wanted to wear it like this, but she had never been able to find the opportunity. After all, it was too weird to wear this outfit in school.

After breakfast, the two got into a taxi heading to the city center.

Today's autograph session will be held on the first floor of the Middle East Shopping Plaza in the city center and will be divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon.

By coincidence, the publishing house that bought the copyright was in Linjiang, and Xia Xingruo was also in Linjiang. The two parties hit it off immediately, and the book signing was held in Linjiang.

In the taxi, Xia Xingruo was a little nervous.

Although "The Call from the Summer Solstice" is very popular online, no one knows what will happen if it is sold offline.

She didn't even know how many people would come to the autograph session today. What if no one came?

The closer we get to the Middle East, the greater this tension becomes.

Zhang Mingyang noticed that the girl's hands stretched out and curled up sometimes. Every cell in her body seemed to be telling me that I was very nervous.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Zhang Mingyang put his hand on the girl's and said softly.

It is obviously the hottest time of the year, but the girl's hands are cold.

Feeling the warmth coming from the back of her hand, Xia Xingruo's nervous mood relaxed slightly.

The mature woman mustered up her courage and made a very bold move. She stretched out her palm and gently touched her junior's palm. The next moment, their fingers were interlocked.

Zhang Mingyang was a little surprised. He turned to look at Xia Xingruo, but the senior looked like nothing happened and turned his face to look at the scenery outside the window.

The ripe ears revealed her state of mind at this time.

Zhang Mingyang also tightened his palms and leaned on the seat without saying a word.

Some emotions need to be adjusted by himself. All he can do is to silently stay by Xia Xingruo's side and give her strength.

But compared to the anxious mature woman, Mr. Zhang sitting aside was not worried at all.

Xia Xingruo shared with him the experience of his first book signing in his life.

The publishing house was also afraid that no one would come to the book signing event, so it only prepared a total of 300 books, but in the end it was not enough.

Many fans came here specially from other places.

Subsequent offline sales were also extremely smooth, and several batches were printed.

When the two of them arrived in the Middle East, the people from the publishing house and the editors from the website had already been waiting for a long time.

They first said hello to Xia Xingruo, and then began to wonder about the relationship between Zhang Mingyang and Xia Xingruo.

"Teacher Bai, who is this?"

Xia Xingruo opened her mouth but didn't say a word. What is their relationship now? She didn't know.

Seeing that the senior sister was a little nervous, Zhang Mingyang quickly smoothed things over: "I am the pretty boy kept by Teacher Bai. You can just call me Xiao Bai."

Hearing the familiar voice, Xia Xingruo immediately lost her nervousness. She pulled Zhang Mingyang to her side and explained: "A junior from the school went back too late at night, so I asked him to accompany me."

Several staff members present nodded in understanding.

Everyone has read the original text of "The Summer Solstice Call".

The tall boy in front of me is exactly the same as the male protagonist in the novel in terms of body shape, appearance, and even expression. If it can be adapted into a TV series in the future, no one will be more suitable to play the male protagonist than him.

In other words, the male protagonist of this novel is basically based on this boy!

Several people made eye contact and smiled knowingly.
Chapter completed!
