miss a useless name

28.

The signing will be scheduled for [-] o'clock on Sunday morning.

Yu Yan and his team set off from the hotel at 08:30 and arrived at the signing event at [-]:[-].

The signing event was held at a bookstore in Nancheng, and there were already book fans waiting in line very early on.

Yu Yan entered the arena from the staff-only passage. Today he wore a pair of gold-rimmed flat glasses. The lenses were so large that they could block half of his face.

The person in charge of each department was busy back and forth, making the final confirmation, and Yu Yan was testing the fluidity of the pen on his seat.When I came here, I saw a lot of fans in the car. It is said that all the [-] books that were going to be signed were all booked in the field. One vote.

Yu Yan is not a person with stage fright, he just simply resists to meet the gaze.Doubt or expectation, the imprint left by boyhood cannot be completely erased.But today, when he stands here, he is no longer forcing himself to meet other people's expectations, nor is he restraining himself with other people's wishes.

Lin Qiuhua and Yu Cheng couldn't understand him when they were young, so what if one day he can return to his hometown with all the glory and stand in front of them with his head held high?Will those insistences be overturned, and will he get a moment of affirmation?

Yu Yan put on his baseball cap, and the brim of the hat cast a half circle of shadow on his face.

At ten o'clock, the signing will officially begin.

The fans lined up and took the infield tickets and lined up orderly to get the books.

Before today, no one knew what the popular writer Nan Yan looked like on the Internet. He was mysterious and low-key, which aroused the curiosity of countless people.

"Hello." Yu Yan raised the corners of his lips in a friendly manner, and moved his fingers quickly across the paper.

"Mr. Nanyan, hello! I am your loyal fan, and I have read all your books!"

"Thank you."

"Mr. Nanyan, why are you wearing a plaster?"

"Needed out."

"Mr. Nanyan, have you recovered from your hand injury before! Pay more attention to your body!"

"It's done, thank you for your concern."

"Mr. Nanyan, when will the new book be out?"

"soon."

"..."

The mobile phone lens zooms in and zooms in again, blurry silhouette, distorted half face.Fans began to scream one after another, the hat and the pair of glasses couldn't completely cover Yu Yan's face.

Yu Yan's hands are fast, and the time has been calculated before the meeting. A thousand books are conservatively estimated to be about three hours.

The fans are very cute, when they say words of concern or encouragement, Yu Yan will always smile shyly and thank them gratefully.In addition to the signed book, the fans present also had snacks and small gifts prepared by Yu Yan at his own expense. After signing, they could receive it from the assistant next to him. The gift was a bookmark. The bookmarks Cheng Shen made were from the same company.

It was raining lightly in Nancheng today, Yu Yan was wearing a slightly thicker white sweater, which made him look very small.

Some fans asked about his age, wondering if he had just come of age.

Yu Yan smiled childishly, and told the truth unabashedly: "I'm almost 28."

Cheng Shen sat cross-legged on the sofa, with the laptop between his legs, constantly refreshing the page, and paying attention to the situation of Yu Yan's autograph sale in real time.

Yu Yan has a lot of female fans, and when he finally met the real person, many of them secretly took photos and praised him for being handsome.

A few minutes later, Cheng Shen came across this one: "My God! Mr. Nan Yan said he was 28! He obviously has an eighteen-faced face!"

The picture below is not very clear, Yu Yan is wearing a white hoodie, his hat and glasses block most of his face, the only thing he can see is the corner of his mouth raised, smiling softly.

Cheng Shen stared at the photo for a long time, thinking in agreement that his Yu Yan was indeed the same as when he said it.

After a while, he dialed Zhao Fei's phone: "How is it over there?"

Zhao Fei's formulaic response: "Everything is going well, the flow is suppressed."

"Okay, if you see a face photo, delete it, and don't let Yu Yan make headlines."

·

The signing session ended around [-]:[-], Yu Yan squeezed his sore arms, feeling like he needed to put plaster on his shoulders and necks tonight.

The organizer said that there are still many fans waiting outside the venue, hoping to take a group photo with Yu Yan.The signing event in Nancheng is the first one, and the second one will be held in Haicheng half a month later, followed by a series of signing events. In October, there will be non-stop signing activities all over the country.Yu Yan didn't want to expose too much, so he declined with excuses.

He is not good at the rest of the work, and he will leave it to the organizer and the entourage.Yu Yan transferred a car to the staff in advance, refused to accompany him and drove to the central square alone.

The young girl sat in a corner of the restaurant holding a newborn baby in her unskilled manner.Yu Wen had just finished confinement, and after she was discharged from the hospital, she followed her parents back to Nancheng. Hearing that Yu Yan was going to hold a signing event in Nancheng, she made an appointment early in the morning to meet today.

"Brother!" Yu Wen waved to the door: "Here!"

Yu Yan arrived in a hurry, before he could catch his breath, a fat baby was stuffed over him.

"Hurry up and hold me for a while, this child is getting old."

Yu Yan hugged Yu Wen for a while when he was a child, now he retrieves the movements from his memory.The eldest nephew in swaddling clothes had just had milk before going out, and now he is very obedient and not sleepy, looking at Yu Yan with eyes like black beans.

"The eyes are like yours." Yu Yan smiled happily, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to tease.

The eldest nephew was named "Qiu Ming", and his mother's surname was Yu.Yu Yan could see that the grandson who abandoned his sister was probably surnamed Qiu, and her sister probably still missed him.

Yu Qiuming grabbed Yu Yan's fingers, stretched out his tongue and spit out a bubble of saliva, watching Yu Yan was amused again.He has been in a bad mood recently, and now he feels relieved holding his nephew.

Yu Wen complained: "You are such a big kid, how can you tell who you look like?"

Yu Yan glared at her, and called the waiter to order: "Why did you tell your parents when you came out?"

"Tell me to take my son out to get some fresh air."

Yu Wen has been rebellious for the past few years. After going to Dali with others, he cut his long hair and successfully stepped on Lin Qiuhua's minefield.

"Brother, what's wrong with your neck?"

I have heard the Nth sentence today, and Yu Yan's answer is the same: "Stiff neck."

Yu Wen was neither big nor small, leaned over the table to look at it, and asked foolishly: "What kind of pillow can make your two sides fall together?"

Yu Yan hugged his nephew and shrank back: "I don't know which side hurts, so I just stuck it."

"Tsk," Yu Wen shook his head, "The lip is also broken."

"Get on fire."

"You lied to me to get angry when I was young!" Yu Wen quit, and slapped the table: "You were obviously fighting with someone!"

This movement of hers attracted the attention of the surroundings, and Yu Yan hurriedly pulled people to comfort him: "Hush your voice." He didn't know that Yu Wen still remembered such old sesame seeds and rotten grains, so he had to find fault elsewhere: "Who are you talking to?" Learn from Yaya, girls speak more civilized!"

Yu Wen stared at the bead string in Yu Yan's hand, her brother never loved these things since he was a child, and he always gave them to her.

"Why do you carry so many things..." Yu Wen stretched out his hand to fiddle with it: "It's not that you don't like it..."

Yu Yan reacted quickly and stopped: "Don't move around, the light has been turned on."

Yu Wen is very smart, she can see that Yu Yan has something on his mind, but it is obvious that her brother just wants to carry it by himself: "Forget it, if you don't like to talk, I don't bother to ask."

The waiters served the dishes one after another.

The two brothers and sisters have been close since childhood, and there is a seven-year age difference between them. Yu Yan was sensible very early, and his parents were always too cold, so the relationship between them is deeper than that of ordinary siblings, and it is even more special, probably because they have one more child. I feel the same way.

Their tastes are also very similar, this meal was ordered by Yu Wen, and Yu Yan has never read the menu.After the food was served, the table was full of red, and Yu Yan's face changed slightly. After suffering for the past two days, he felt burning pain when he saw the chili peppers.

He tried his best to eat less spicy food and kept drinking water, but he still couldn't take it anymore, so he added two more bland dishes on the pretext of feeling sick to his stomach.

"Brother, you've been in Beicheng for a long time, and you can't even eat spicy food."

Yu Yan was still hugging his nephew, he has not had a good appetite recently, so he is already full now.Instead of arguing about taste, he asked Yu Wen about his future plans like a big brother: "What's your plan for the future?"

"No plan," Yu Wen peeled off the prickly ash on the chicken, and said boringly: "Mom told me to go home and take the college entrance examination, so I will take the exam."

"I agree with this point," Yu Yan said: "You are still young, and you will know when you get a job. A diploma is just a stepping stone. Wherever you learn, the lower limit is there."

"I'm 21." Yu Wen listened to this kind of lecture a lot at home, but only Yu Yan said that she could listen to it, and even looked a little sad: "I'm already a mother, not a child."

Yu Yan looked at the face of his younger sister opposite: "With my brother, you will always be." He pinched his nephew's face, and said softly: "Choose an easy way to go, you are still young, and now you have gone wrong, you can still go. coming back."

Yu Wen looked very dazed, her life seemed to have come to an end before it started to be splendid.She walked the right way, but found that it was not what she wanted, so she went to the wrong way impulsively, and the ending was not very good.

She doesn't know which way is easy to go, which way is not easy to go, and she feels that her brother doesn't know either, because she can see that his brother is not happy now.

Yu Wen raised his face as he did when he was a child, and asked ignorantly, "What about you? Brother, are you going right now?"

"Me..." Yu Yan paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "Whether it's right or wrong, I can't go back."

·

Later in the day, it started to rain in Nancheng.

After arriving at the airport, the rain gradually became heavier, and the flight back was at [-]:[-]. I don't know if the plane can take off on time according to this trend.

Yu Yan leaned against the railing with his forearms in a daze, the night outside the glass window was deep, and there was a lot of drizzle. He was born and raised in this city, which gave him deep love and bondage.

When he was a child, Yu Yan would want to escape from here every time he was forced to go no further.Every time he wanted to leave, it would rain, the same rain as tonight, so he was stopped there, listening to the wind all night, watching the rain all night.

Later, he left as he wished. The wind and rain in the north were strong and harsh, and he missed the light rain in his hometown again. It fell softly on his body, as if even the pain could be relieved.

The weather in Beicheng is too cold, Yu Yan can feel the chill now.

The flight was not delayed for long, half an hour later than expected, and the plane landed at Beicheng Airport.

While waiting for the luggage, the entourage complained that the return flight was too unreasonable to buy, and they could go to work directly without sleeping.

Yu Yan was also very tired, he was not feeling well all the time, he was barely able to walk until now.

The website sent a car to pick them up, An Ning asked Yu Yan if he would go with their car, but Yu Yan couldn't say, someone came to pick him up.

After leaving the terminal, although it didn't rain in Beicheng, the temperature was much lower than when we left. The wind was dry and cold, and several people were exhausted and shaken by the blowing.

Yu Yan said goodbye to them, put his luggage at his feet, and cast his shadow behind him lonely.

He took out his mobile phone and asked the time before departure, but he didn't see his car at the door at this time, so he didn't know what happened.

Pressing the finger on the call button, you can dial out with just one touch, but Yu Yan paused for a long time.In the end, he closed his clothes and put the phone back into his pocket.

Cheng Shen actually arrived earlier, the car was parked far away, he was waiting at the door, Yu Yan didn't see him when he came out.

For some reason, he didn't call out to him, but stood behind Yu Yan, watched him send off his companions, and then stood there alone, hesitating for a long time and finally gave up calling him.

If he really didn't come, how long would Yu Yan wait in silence like this?Why is it so difficult to find him?

Cheng Shen felt sore, and couldn't bear to see Yu Yan suffer from the cold, so he walked over quickly, shook off the windbreaker he had prepared early in the morning, and wrapped Yu Yan up from behind.

Yu Yan turned around in surprise, his eyes faded after seeing him.

Cheng Shen took his bag, pulled his suitcase, and wanted to hold him, but found that his hands were cold after waiting outside for too long, so he had to give up.

"I'm sorry I'm late," he apologized with a smile, putting his hand in his pocket: "Have you waited long?"

Yu Yan tightly grasped the collar of the windbreaker, and the head-on wind blew his hair back: "No, I just arrived."

"Is the signing meeting going well?" Cheng Shen said, "I read the news on the Internet, and many people came."

"Well, it went well."

"Your fans took a lot of live photos, have you seen them?"

Yu Yan nodded: "I've seen it a bit."

Cheng Shen pressed the car lock from a long distance: "The website's publicity is pretty good, no worse than my people. I have people staring at some of the photos showing my full face, and I can basically clean them up."

Yu Yan snapped his fingertips, he didn't mention this to Cheng Shen, Cheng Shen had already thought of it for him.He stopped for a few seconds and said against the wind, "Thank you."

"It's okay," Cheng Shen pouted at Yu Yan: "You get in the car first."

He went around to the back of the car and put his luggage in the trunk. When he got in, Yu Yan was seriously folding his clothes with his head down.

Cheng Shen asked, "Is it cold in Beicheng?"

Yu Yan folded the clothes into small square pieces and said without raising his head, "It's okay."

Cheng Shen turned the car and merged into the traffic flow, and after driving for a certain distance, the number of cars on the road gradually decreased.During this time period, the road is far away from the city, and there is no light in the distance.

"It's almost five o'clock when you get home, do you still have to go to the magazine office today?"

"No, the editor-in-chief will give me a day off."

"Okay." Cheng Shen took a quick look at Yu Yan, "I'll stay with you at home too."

Yu Yan didn't respond, and stared indifferently at the streetlights speeding past the window.

Cheng Shen then arranged: "You go home and take a nap first, and when you wake up, how about we go out for a walk? There is a new ecological park in the north of the city, the environment is very good, and there are farmhouses, we..."

"No more," Yu Yan said softly, "I'm tired and want to stay at home."

The smile on the corner of Cheng Shen's mouth froze for a moment, and he quickly said, "It's fine, you're not feeling well, then we'll stay at home and I'll cook for you. By the way, I fancy a ring yesterday, plain ring Yes, you must look good with a thin hand, let me give you one."

Cheng Shen's sudden enthusiasm made Yu Yan feel a little uncomfortable, his heart seemed to be blocked, it was not as happy as Cheng Shen used force on him.

"I don't want it," Yu Yan said, "I don't like carrying things on my hands."

"Ah, yes, I forgot." Cheng Shen tapped his fingers on the steering wheel uneasily: "Well... I bought you a book, the book list you made a while ago, I went to the bookstore this afternoon for nothing , I bought them all for you."

Yu Yan always left Cheng Shen with a cold side face. Many things stayed in his eyes, but they always came and went in a hurry, as if he couldn't keep them.He didn't want to look at it, leaned against the car window and closed his eyes, listening to Cheng Shen's helpless panting in the silence.

"Cheng Shen," Yu Yan sighed after being silent for a while, "You don't have to do this, I won't leave."
