The autograph session went extremely smoothly.

Linjiang is equivalent to the publishing house's home field. With the help of the home field advantage, the staff showed a very high level of professionalism.

Xia Xingruo doesn't have to do anything.

She only needs to sit on the stage, greet the readers with a smile, and sign autographs.

Maybe it’s because the writer is really beautiful, or maybe it’s because everyone loves Baixiarujiu.

After each fan asked for an autograph, they also asked to take a photo with Xia Xingruo.

Writing is a lonely thing, and this is the first time for Xia Xingruo to meet so many people who like her.

She also refuses requests for group photos.

Zhang Mingyang was also at the autograph session.

He did not go to the stage to disturb Xia Xingruo, but chose to use a digital camera from behind to record some of Xia Xingruo's lovely moments.

While taking pictures, Zhang Mingyang was thinking.

Why didn't he realize the benefits of autograph sessions earlier? There were so many autograph sessions for mature women, but he didn't attend any of them.

Girls like to read romance novels, and there are many high-quality beauties among them.

It was summer, so everyone was wearing cool clothes, which was a feast for the eyes of Zhang Mingyang, who was taking pictures in the back.

He stood behind and silently took pictures, and many female readers in line also noticed him.

Those who came to the scene were all hardcore fans of "Summer Solstice Calling", and some even watched it three or four times.

They are very familiar with the male protagonist described by Xia Xingruo in the book.

Just like those editors thought just now, it's so similar that the male protagonist in the book is simply modeled after the boy in front of him.

A fictional novel character suddenly appeared in reality.

Not long after Zhang Mingyang stood there, bold female fans began to ask for his contact information.

He didn't expect that he could still receive such treatment, so he quickly offered his QQ.

Seeing this scene, Xia Xingruo, who signed autographs and took photos, couldn't sit still.

She quickly shouted to the audience: "Yangyang, I'm thirsty, go get me a bottle of water."

Zhang Mingyang thought, there are so many staff around you who are not doing anything, why are you calling me? Didn't you see that I am busy?

But he didn't say anything on the surface, and ran to the work area to get water for Xia Xingruo obediently.

After hearing Bai Xiarujiu's reminder, everyone realized that they knew each other!

After realizing this problem, the brain circuits of book fans also became active.

I heard that the first male protagonists written by many romance novel writers are the people they like in real life, or their ideal type.

The reader who was interested immediately asked: "Dad, is that your boyfriend?"

Xia Xingruo smiled and said nothing, saying only: "Thank you for liking my book."

Not denying it is the best way to admit it. No wonder the male protagonist he portrayed is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It turned out that he was directly modeled after his own boyfriend.

When Zhang Mingyang came back with the water, no female readers came to him to ask for their contact information.

Only then did he realize that it was so easy for a mature woman to ask him to get water. She was clearly declaring her sovereignty!

As Xia Xingruo told him later, three hundred books were simply not enough, and they didn't even last through the morning.

Not only book fans came to buy books, but many passers-by saw that events were being held here and came to join in the fun.

Fans who bought the book began to spontaneously tell passers-by how good the book was.

He said that romance novels cannot be without "The Summer Solstice Call", just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem!

Well, this sentence is actually Zhang Mingyang’s imagination.

He didn't know what those book fans said to passers-by.

But the scene before me really looked like missionary work.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, the publishing house hurried back to replenish the supplies.

Relying on replenishment, the afternoon autograph session can proceed normally.

Except for Xia Xingruo, who was sitting on a chair signing autographs, the other staff were very busy.

After the craziness of the morning, the publishing house originally thought it would be a little more relaxed in the afternoon.

But I didn't expect that many book fans who came all the way from other places arrived just in the afternoon.

The batch of books I supplemented at noon could barely sustain my consumption in the afternoon.

Xia Xingruo's autograph session can be described as a complete success.

In the evening, as a courtesy to the landlord, the publishing house prepared a celebration banquet for the website editor and Xia Xingruo who came from afar.

The publishing house saw the commercial value of "The Call from the Summer Solstice" and decided to print it on the spot during the dinner.

When there is a dinner party, there will naturally be socializing.

Zhang Mingyang didn't know how the mature woman dealt with it in the first place, but this time with him around, all kinds of drinks naturally went into his stomach.

At the beginning, the three parties could sit together and chat about work matters.

When you get excited after drinking, no matter whether he works or not, just drink and that's it.

The bulging middle-aged leader of the publishing house probably thought that Zhang Mingyang was young and easy to bully, so he insisted on drinking with him, saying that he wanted to test the depth of the young man.

He said that today's children are good at reading, but have too little social experience and should gain more experience.

Zhang Mingyang flattered me from behind and said that your education is that we young people should learn more from you.

Middle-aged people who like to teach others naturally like to hear compliments from young people.

At first he was smiling all over his face, but soon he stopped laughing and fell asleep directly on the table while drinking.

On the other hand, Zhang Mingyang's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he seemed to be fine.

After drinking down the leader, the drinking party is almost over.

When he was about to leave, the website editor, who had also drunk a lot, pulled Xia Xingruo and cried, she said you have found a good boyfriend, sister, when will I find a boyfriend.

The leader was unconscious and the rest of the affairs were arranged by the secretary.

She sent the editor back to her room first, then told Xia Xingruo that it was too late today and asked them if they wanted to stay in the hotel for one night and go back tomorrow.

Zhang Mingyang said that I have no problem and will listen to my senior sister.

Xia Xingruo quickly refused, saying that I won’t bother you anymore and we should go back to school.

She already thought about what would happen next.

In the eyes of these people, she and Zhang Mingyang are boyfriend and girlfriend. Since they are boyfriend and girlfriend, it is normal for them to share a room and save money.

But how could she share a room with her junior classmate? Is she such an unreserved woman?

Besides, she's not ready yet...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! That’s not right! It seems that the two of them haven’t even confirmed their relationship yet!

...

After leaving the hotel, they were in no hurry to take a taxi back.

Xia Xingruo made a major decision in her heart. She told Zhang Mingyang that the weather was so good tonight, so she could go for a walk with me.

"Congratulations, Sister Ruoruo."

The two of them walked on the bridge by the river, and the wind blowing from the river dispelled the heat of the dog days.

Linjiang City has a very long river that cuts across the entire city.

"Humph, I didn't expect that your senior sister is so powerful!" The girl's face showed a little pride, as if she had finally regained her senior sister's majesty.

"Yes, 'my' senior is really amazing." Zhang Mingyang repeated Xia Xingruo's words, but emphasized the word "my".

"What you say is yours is yours, it's not!"

Zhang Mingyang had just talked close to her, and the boy's unique smell mixed with the smell of alcohol hit her face. She didn't find it annoying at all, and even wanted to take the initiative to get closer.

"It's okay, I belong to my senior sister anyway."

Xia Xingruo raised her head and looked at her junior. His eyes were smiling, making her confused for a moment whether he was talking drunkenly or sincerely.

"It's the pretty boy kept by my senior sister." Zhang Mingyang added.

"You're teasing me again!"

Xia Xingruo lowered her head and did not dare to look at Zhang Mingyang, for fear that her junior would see her ripe cheeks and laugh at him.

The majesty of the senior sister has long since disappeared.

"Anyway, senior sister is so rich, why don't you just support me? I'll be very cheap."

Zhang Mingyang rested his head on his hands and looked towards the sparkling river.

It was also on this river bank that time he became seriously ill because of continuous overtime work. A mature woman pulled him and said seriously: "Why don't you resign? I will support you."

"How cheap?" Xia Xingruo asked.

"Three meals a day are enough."

After Zhang Mingyang finished speaking, Xia Xingruo was silent for a moment, as if he was really thinking about whether it would be appropriate.

The two of them walked like this for a while before the girl finally gathered her courage.

Just when she was about to say something, she was suddenly pulled up and ran away by Zhang Mingyang.

It was almost early in the morning, and there were no people on the riverside without street lights.

Zhang Mingyang didn't pay attention at first, but after walking for a while he found that a man wearing a hat and a mask had been following them.
