Chapter 41 & Bookstore Reunion

The holidays are too leisurely, especially in the cold winter. The warmth of the home is in stark contrast to the ice and snow outside, which makes people reluctant to go out.

Since returning from skiing three days ago, they have been nesting at home for three full days.Seeing that the weekend was approaching, Yu'er's carefully arranged thoughts had just passed through her mind twice when Yuan Fei was called home by a phone call.So Yu'er spent the fourth day of nesting at home again.

Yuan Fei left early in the morning and came back before dinner.She was still surprised when she ran to open the door. It stands to reason that she should have dinner before returning home, but when she saw the dinner Yuan Fei brought her, her heart immediately warmed to the extreme.

Fleeing into that cold embrace, Yu'er kicked the door shut, leaned over to touch her face, and said softly, "Is it cold? I'll warm you up."

Yuan Fei pushed her away with a funny face, rubbed her itchy side face, and handed her the bag in her hand: "Your mother-in-law made some dishes for you, let you taste if it suits your appetite."

Yu'er: "...Huh?"

"Ah what," Yuan Fei hung the bag containing several insulated lunch boxes on her hand, leaned over to change her shoes, and explained by the way, "I told my mother to find a roommate, and she told me to get along with you Relationship, by the way, make a dinner to win you over, and let you take good care of me."

After changing into her slippers, she stood up and trapped the stunned Yu'er between her body and the wall with her arms: "Our relationship should be pretty good, right?"

Although Yu'er was struck by thunder, her instinctive reaction still made her lean forward, and without hesitation kissed the person in front of her who was pretending to have a strong aura and tried to wallop her.Yuan Fei hummed twice in dissatisfaction, but quickly became docile, and the hand supporting the wall gradually weakened, and fell on Yu'er's shoulder.

Never kissed deeply, just swore the initiative.Yu'er let her go, reached out and unbuttoned her coat one by one, and softly answered her question a moment ago: "It's true that we got along well."

The coat was peeled off, and it was filled with fragrance, which wafted out.Yu'er embraced her slender waist, buried her face in Yuan Fei's soft chest, rubbed her hands affectionately like a kitten, and then picked up the dinner and went to the kitchen.

A few dishes were brought out, Yuan Fei also changed into home clothes, and sat at the dining table with her.They are all home-cooked dishes, but they are exquisitely matched, and they look very good. It looks fresh when they are packed right out of the pan and brought back in a box.Yu'er tasted it and was full of praise: "Auntie's craftsmanship is much better than yours."

When Yuan Fei heard "Auntie", she curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and said nothing, but continued to chat with her: "Your parents don't usually cook by themselves, so who did you steal your cooking skills from?"

"Our auntie." Yu'er swallowed the food in her mouth, and teased, "Auntie often cooks, why didn't I see you succeed in stealing?"

Yuan Fei finally couldn't bear it anymore and corrected her wrong address: "It's mother-in-law."

Yu'er smiled helplessly, and compromised: "Okay, okay, mother-in-law." Instead of continuing the teasing topic a while ago, Yu'er became serious, "Mother-in-law is suddenly in a hurry to ask you to go back, what happened?"

Yuan Fei was a little distressed: "She asked me to help a friend's child with Chinese tutoring. A junior high school student."

"Let you be a university teacher... overqualified?" Yu'er gloated a little, "You agreed?"

Yuan Fei sighed: "She made two requests. I refused the first one. This is the second one. I am too embarrassed to refuse again, so I agreed." After speaking, she felt Yu'er's teasing, raised her eyebrows and said , "Since you also feel that you are overqualified, why don't I agree to the first one. That is relatively simple."

Yu'er had an ominous premonition, but she still asked, "What's the first one?"

"Go on a blind date."

"...I think you should get along with children more, it's good for you."

Yuan Fei asked with a smile, "Don't you think it's overkill?"

"...that child is blessed."

The lucky child is a girl with good grades. Yuan Fei had a good impression of her when she went to tutoring for the first time.Polite, not annoying, and serious about studying, but the tutoring work itself is far more boring than she imagined.

The girl is very proactive in her studies, she has already finished her homework for the winter vacation, and she has nothing to tutor, so she just sits aside and watches her recite ancient prose for the next semester.Occasionally, I will ask her for advice when there is a point where the meaning is not clear.

A piece of "Ai Lian Shuo" was repeated in Yuan Fei's ears more than a dozen times, and the girl has already memorized it fluently.She yawned and wondered why such a child still needs a tutor. As soon as she finished her doubts, the girl asked a question: "The flowers of water, land and plants are very cute. This cute is easy to play. Flowers should be described as beautiful. Why? Is it cute?"

There is no technical question, Yuan Fei still patiently answered: "This is a different word from ancient to modern times. The cuteness here means worthy of love."

A handsome male voice suddenly sounded from behind them: "The word 'cute', including Qunfang, shows that you are looking for a job, and you are not deliberately looking for a job. It is extremely wise to think carefully about your words."

Yuan Fei and the girl turned their heads at the same time, and heard the girl sweetly calling her brother, so they looked at the person at the door.The young man looked like he was in his 20s, wearing a round neck sweater and slacks. He was leaning against the door and looking at them with a smile on his face.Although she didn't have a good idea of ​​a man's appearance, she also felt that his face was upright and handsome, and his facial features were quite similar to those of a girl.

But the argument just now made her frowned in disgust.It is obviously a simple explanation, but so many mysterious words have been used to come up with it. Obviously, it is not explaining to the girl, but showing off to her.The so-called tricking the hatchet is nothing more than that.

The young man was very good at observing words and expressions. Seeing her frowning, he immediately let go of his casual posture and walked towards her. He nodded and said, "Teacher Yuan, I have admired you for a long time. Don't mind the show off just now."

The other party was polite, and she didn't want to be rude, so she got up and gave a faint smile without saying anything else.

The young man didn't mind her indifference, still smiling, and said to the girl beside him, "Lunch is ready, you and Teacher Yuan can go out and eat together."

The girl held Yuan Fei's arm affectionately and was about to go out, but she let go of her calmly, saying the usual excuse for refusing the invitation: "I have an appointment, it is inconvenient."

The young man didn't bother, but took the girl's hand, and the two looked at her together: "Then let's send one to Teacher Yuan."

It was hard to refuse now, Yuan Fei went downstairs with them and was sent out of the community all the way.Yu'er came with her, and she was waiting for her in a coffee shop across from the community. Naturally, he saw the young man handing her his business card and waving his hands with a smile on his face.

When Yuan Fei walked towards the coffee shop, she was still looking down at her business card.The young man's name was Bai Yi, and he was a lawyer.She had heard of the law firm on the business card, and it was very famous. It seemed that his professional level was also good.Instead, he can be introduced to Yu'er.

The surname Bai is rare, and she suddenly realized that the person her family asked her to go on a blind date seemed to be this one.

...It turns out that the two so-called requirements are basically the same requirement.In the name of tutoring, practice blind date.Yuan Fei was swayed by her own mother, and she couldn't laugh or cry.

Suddenly a gloved hand stretched out and took the business card away.

"If you don't concentrate on walking, what if you fall." Yu'er complained softly to her, took the business card and looked at the front and back, and returned it to her boredly, "This one looks pretty good, more pleasing to the eye than Kang Yu."

Yuan Fei took the business card and was about to throw it into the trash can on the side of the road, but was stopped by Yu'er: "Hey... why throw it away."

Listening to her eccentricity, Yuan Fei couldn't help laughing, and explained to her how she was tricked by her own mother.Yu'er stopped talking for a while after hearing this, but in the end she just let out a sigh of displeasure.

"I'm sorry." The only comfort Yuan Fei could think of was an apology.Yu'er covered her mouth with her gloved hand, threatening: "Don't talk about it, huh?"

Yuan Fei just looked at her, didn't respond, and couldn't respond.Yu'er let her go, but she couldn't help but speak again: "It's my fault—hmm."

Yu'er leaned close to her ear, whispered ambiguously: "Besides, I don't need to cover it with my hands."

Yuan Fei quickly shook her head to express that she would stop talking.

Yu'er moved her hand away suspiciously, she paused, and tentatively said: "Shall I introduce that person to you just now?"

Feather: "..."

They didn't go home immediately, they ate lunch outside and went to the bookstore by the way.

At the place where the signing event was held for the first time, Yuan Fei encountered fans for the first time after becoming a public figure.

She was sitting at the table in the reading area concentrating on flipping through the books, but Yu'er on the opposite side approached mysteriously, her eyes beckoning her to look deep into the bookshelf.She turned her head slightly, and sure enough, she saw a young girl hiding herself between two rows of bookshelves, pretending to be looking for a book, but her eyes seemed to drift towards them.

"I've been staring at you for a long time." Yu'er said softly, with a slightly sour tone, "Is it your student?"

Yuan Fei also answered in a low voice: "I don't know."

Yu'er glanced at her with disgust: "You won't miss all your students, will you?"

Yuan Fei snorted softly, and said quietly: "I have been peeped at in the library before, and this is not the first time, let them do it."

Yu'er remembered that she was talking about going to the library together on the day they first met.She blushed, coughed in embarrassment, and sighed: "It seems that I am here, a little hindering them..." She stood up and walked away calmly under Yuan Fei's gaze.

As soon as Yu'er left, the girl really walked over.

"Excuse me, are you... Teacher Yuan Fei?" The voice was a bit cold, but polite.

It turned out to be a student.Yuan Fei breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to have just discovered her, looked up from the book and smiled at her.Sure enough, she was a young girl, she looked like a junior high school student, her youthful face could already tell that she had an extraordinary appearance, and her temperament was calm and calm that didn't match her age.Yuan Fei couldn't help but deepen her smile when she thought of the cute behavior of peeping a while ago.This girl is just a child, but she can pretend quite well.

The approachable smile stopped abruptly when he saw the book in the girl's hand.

The pen name of the author of the book is "So That's So", it was her work before writing as Yuan Fei, and it was also the work that Yu'er had read when she and Yu'er first came to the bookstore.

Lily works.

After agreeing to Kang Yu's request, "So it is" has nothing to do with Yuan Fei. One is an unknown Lily writer, and the other is a well-known young writer. "So that's how it is" was the only signing event where his face was exposed, and the relevant news and pictures were completely cleaned up by Kang Yu.Except for the hundred or ten people who really participated in the signing event and had no ability to expose, no one should know her identity.

The girl didn't notice her emotional change, but just opened the title page and handed it to her, with a hint of expectation in her cold voice: "Can you sign it for me?"

Did you sign Yuan Fei's name on the book "So that's how it is"... She pretended to be calm and joked: "This book hasn't been paid yet, so I shouldn't be scribbling."

The listener misunderstood the meaning: "I will buy it."

Now Yuan Fei didn't know how to refuse, so she had to take the pen handed over by the girl, and left a beautiful signature on the blank title page.

However, the girl's next words made her heart beat like thunder again: ""Double Burial" is the first Lily work I have read, and it is also the first physical book of Lily I bought. I came here to participate in your signing After the sale, I often visit this bookstore, and I never expected to meet you again, and your works that I had never discovered before."

Yuan Fei raised her head, but saw a troubled look on the girl's beautiful but somewhat cold face.She didn't respond, because at this time, she just needs to wait quietly, give the other party time and courage, and speak out the following words.

The girl bit her lower lip and said softly: ""Double Burial" is really meaningful to me, and it should be important to you too. Later I saw those on the Internet... Excuse me, how could you bear to , Destroy her with your own hands?"

The revised double burial, a romantic work that has been praised by countless people, is "destroyed" by the girl.Yuan Fei thought that a real reader would probably be able to communicate with the author.How painful and disgusting the process of modifying the double burial was, besides Yu'er, there was actually another person who understood it.

Yuan Fei handed back the signed book to her, and said seriously: "Because there are more important things to protect." His eyes swept over the looming figure behind the bookshelf, and his tone became a little firmer.

The girl nodded and didn't say anything else, but said sincerely: "Then, I hope your wish will come true."

The kindness from a stranger warmed Yuan Fei's heart, and she said softly, "May I know your name?"

The girl actually hooked the corner of her lower lip, revealing a smile of unknown meaning.Although this smile is light, it is full of aura, showing a natural leadership temperament, and it is completely different from Yu'er's friendly and bright.

Yuan Fei heard that cold voice sound again: "Xiao Xinran."

The author has something to say:

Sister Xiao Yu cameo! ! !

As soon as she appeared on the stage, I wrote and revised, rewritten, and got entangled until it exploded...

As expected of Miss Xiao Yu, it's still so hard to write after a long time...

[Oh yes, that Bai Yi is very important, pay attention and don't forget hhh
