After living with a straight man, I became a menswear boss

In the end, Zhong Ling couldn't hold back, and angrily swept his son out of the house: "Go away, don't come back without your hour next time."

Yu Ci stood outside the door, a little helpless: "You can give me the car keys anyway."

Zhong Ling looked around and found the key on the cabinet by the door.

She grabbed the key and stuffed it into Yu Ci's hand, and started to chase people away: "Let's go, chase people for me quickly, without stopping."

After a pause, she was still uneasy: "Be more serious when you confess, it's better to have a big romantic scene or something, or on an important occasion."

She said she was extremely disgusted: "You don't want to confess your love suddenly on the main road like your father did back then. That snow hit my face, it was so ugly."

Speaking of this, Yu Ci suddenly remembered something: "Did our family sponsor the author conference?"

"Yeah, what are you asking for?" Zhong Ling was puzzled, and then quickly realized, his eyes lit up: "Do you want to participate in Shishi?"

"It's ok. I just said you're stupid, but you've gotten the hang of it so quickly."

Zhong Ling glanced at her son in admiration: "A big occasion like the author's conference is the most suitable for a romantic confession."

Yu Ci didn't say yes or no: "See if you can add a quota for me."

Zhong Ling nodded: "No problem, I'll talk to your dad later."

"Thanks, Mom."

"Why are you being polite to Mom?"

After Zhong Ling finished laughing, she waved her backhand mercilessly.

"bump--"

The door was closed mercilessly, and only Zhong Lingzhong's angry words were passed through the door: "If you don't catch anyone, don't come back."

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows and returned to the car.

When it came, the rain had stopped at night, but at this moment, the sky began to drizzle again.

The light raindrops were blown by the night wind and hit the face, creating bursts of coolness.

Yu Ci didn't take the rain to heart, so he didn't turn around and go back to get the umbrella, so it was a matter of course—he was trapped under the apartment building by the sudden heavy rain on the way.

The distance from the parking place to the door of the apartment is not too far, but under the current rain, it is estimated that it will be soaked in two seconds after going out.

Yu Ci was not in a hurry to get out of the car.

He turned off the engine, then adjusted the back of the seat a little, put his hands behind his head, and looked upstairs through the faint street lights outside the car.

It was late at night, most of the towering buildings were dark, and only a few houses were still lit.

He counted up the floors, and found his floor among the houses of people who had turned off their lights.

I can't tell if it's disappointment or what, it's just that I'm not in a good mood.

Although he told Shi Jin to sleep first, but he really fell asleep, and Yu Ci felt that there was something wrong with his heart.

Thinking about it, he suddenly clicked his tongue and scolded himself: "hypocritical."

Raindrops fell in through the cracks of the unclosed car windows, pulling out several long or short water stains in the dry car windows.

Yu Ci reached out to take the paper from his pocket, but his fingertips touched something hard.

He snapped his fingers, and then took the thing out of his pocket—it was the box given to him before returning to Yu's house.

The box is small and square, light white, with a delicate bow tied with a satin blue ribbon.

Yu Ci's low mood just now suddenly rose, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably: "...mysterious."

Yu Ci reached out and touched the rough corners of the gift box, the corners of the naturally raised eyes became more curved.

He carefully unwrapped the bow tied on it, and took a deep breath before looking at the box.

After the turmoil in his heart calmed down a bit, Yu Ci looked at the box.

A little clay figurine dressed exactly like him was lying quietly in the box, with a big head and short legs, funny and cute, and on that round head, a pair of big Kazilan eyes that were shining with water were staring at him without blinking. Looking at him, it is particularly eye-catching.

Yu Ci: "..."

The expression on his face froze for a moment, and was soon replaced by a deeper smile - because he saw another little figure in the box.

The black-clothed villain with delicate features opened a pair of clean eyes, and was lying quietly next to the "Kazlan Big Eyes" villain.

The two clay figurines, one big and one small, are well-behaved and harmonious.

Yu Ci suddenly closed his eyes.

He raised his hand halfway across his face, using the back of his hand to block the smile that spread from the corner of his eyes.

It was completely planted.

Yu Ci thought.

The kind that is willing and has no way out.

The venue for the author conference was set at the largest international hotel in Spring City.

As a large-scale event in the literary circle every three years, and because it has won several sponsors, this year's scale is larger than any previous year.

Spring City has entered early winter, and the days of cooling have shrouded the entire city in the cold.

The heating was turned on in the hotel, and some reporters who had rushed to the venue early to occupy their seats were scattered in the lobby, adjusting their cameras and preparing to take the most topical photos before the conference officially started.

After Shi Yi exchanged polite greetings with several editors from other publishing houses, he walked to the seating area of ​​Xinmei.

Several editors of Xinmei were standing here. Seeing Shi Yi approaching, Tangyuan greeted first: "Brother Shi Yi, come and sit down."

"Don't sit down, let's stand for a while." Shi Yi shook his head, looked at the glutinous rice balls as he spoke, and reminded her: "If you can stand now, you can stand for a while, and you will sit down later."

Tangyuan has only come to Xinmei for a year, and has never participated in the author conference. At this time, she is in a state of seeing everything novel. She was a little curious when she heard this: "Why?"

Qiaoqiao wore a simple white dress and walked over with a glass of wine: "Because according to the convention, the author's conference usually lasts at least four hours, and I even tried eight hours for a long time."

"During this period, except for going to the toilet, I basically sat on the seat."

"Ah." Tang Yuan's face collapsed in an instant: "It will take so long, I thought it would be over just by presenting an award."

"It's indeed an award presentation." The little fox came out from nowhere: "But you award me an award, and some leadership speeches, sponsor advertisements and so on are interspersed in the middle, won't it take so long?"

Tangyuan let out a sigh: "Little fox, why did you come out?"

Before the official start of the author conference, the authors who arrive early are usually waiting in the hotel lounge, and will come out of the red carpet one by one until the official start.

Is it okay for the little fox to come out early?

Tangyuan looked at Qiaoqiao after thinking about it, Yuanyuan's eyes were full of doubts.

Qiaoqiao smiled: "What does it matter? Little Fox didn't participate in the last session. She is standing here. Who knows if she is an author or an editor."

Tangyuan was thoughtful: "It seems to be the same."

The few people chatted for a while, Tangyuan let out another hey, and looked at Shi Yi strangely: "Brother Shi Yi, what's the matter with you? You are the most active in our chats, why didn't you talk much today?"

Qiaoqiao also found out, she looked at Shi Yi, and asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Shi Yi's eyes dodged a little: "No, it's nothing."

On the contrary, the little fox hooked the corners of his lips, and there was a smile in his upturned fox eyes.

She came to Shi Yi's side, and put his arm on him affectionately: "Brother Shi Yi may be avoiding me."

Her action not only startled Qiaoqiao and Tangyuan, Shi Yi even jumped up as if being stepped on.

He quickly withdrew his hand, his eyes wandered, and he spoke quickly: "I remembered that I would go to the door to pick up Shi Jin. You guys talk, I'll go first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away as if being chased by a ghost.

Tang Yuan stared blankly at his back, and turned around in surprise after a while: "Little fox, you...?"

Her eyes stopped on the enchanting little fox in a red dress, and she turned her head to look at the back of Shi Yi running away, her mind filled with disbelief.

Although Brother Shi Yi is not bad-looking, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and sunshine, but how can he not match the little fox, let alone that they didn't seem to have met before?

Facing the eyes of the editors around him, the little fox bent his slender eyebrows: "That's how you see it."

She played with the hair on her forehead with her fingers, with a charming smile on her lips: "I'm chasing him."

"It's a pity that I haven't caught up yet." As he spoke, the little fox pouted angrily: "He ran away as soon as he saw me, as if he had seen a ghost. Am I ugly?"

Qiaoqiao closed her open jaw with her hand, barely digesting the fact: "Are you serious?"

"Of course." The little fox gave her a strange look: "This is the first time I've chased someone."

And the other side.

Shi Yi, who ran all the way to the rest area like a ghost, stopped, and looked behind him with some lingering fear.

A familiar author came up for a chat.

He sorted out his mood and skillfully chatted with the visitor.

At the end of the chat, Shi Yi looked at the huge rest area and asked the author, "Have you seen Shi Qian?"

When he was asked this question, he realized that Jin had never participated in their author association, and the other authors basically did not know him.

Sure enough, the author shook his head: "I'm sorry Shi Bian, I don't know if Shi Qian has come or not."

"Brother Shi hasn't come yet." A soft youthful voice came in from the side.

Shi Yi followed the voice, and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes: "It's you."

Cheng Ke, whose pen name is a mystery.

He had thought about signing him before, but before he could act, Wei Yu signed him away first.

Cheng Ke looked at him with a smile, the two dimples on his cheeks were extremely soft: "It's me, long time no see."

Shi Yi: "Have you seen me?"

"Yeah." Cheng Ke nodded obediently: "The last time I recorded a variety show, I saw you next to Brother Shi."

As he spoke, he suddenly tilted his head: "You seem to have a good relationship with Brother Shi."

Shi Yi said "ah", then scratched his head: "It's okay, okay."

"By the way," he remembered something: "You just said that Shijin hasn't come yet, did you contact him?"

"No." Cheng Ke shook his head, with a cute expression on his white face: "I searched everything."

He blinked: "I've searched the whole lounge area several times, even the toilet."

Looking at the boy's black and white eyes, Shi Yi suddenly felt something was wrong.

He thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything, so he just smiled: "Thank you, then I'll go first, you rest first."

Cheng Ke nodded: "When the big brother comes later, you must remember to tell me."

Shi Yi pressed the phone, and didn't look back when he heard this, he just waved his hand casually: "No problem."

He swipe the screen to find Shi Jin's number, and press the call button.

Almost the second after the screen showed dialing, a familiar ringtone came from in front of him.

He raised his head, stopped in his footsteps, and his eyes were pleasantly surprised: "You are here."
