After replying the message to Ye Cheng, Lan Ning carefully took out the dress that Yan Ruyu bought for her. Looking at the two skirts lined up on the bed, Lanning thought for a while.
Well, this new one seems to be looking good.
Next to the clothes was the autographed book Yan Ruyu gave her just now. Lanning took out her phone, took a photo of the page with the autograph, and put it on Weibo.
Cauliflower v: I got the sample booklet of "Message of Death", and the printing is beautiful~ It will be fully listed at the end of the month, and it will be available in Xinhua Bookstores across the country~ [Picture]
"Signed book!! Teacher Xingxin's handwriting is so beautiful!!!"
"Make up your fake public affairs for personal gain! You are here to show off the autograph book!"
"I didn't even get the seal version [goodbye]"
"Please come out with another 10,000 autographed copies, thank you [smile]"
"Wow, you and Teacher Xingxin's baby is finally born!"
Lanning: "..."
What a baby!
She threw the phone on the quilt abruptly, took the hair tie and went to wash up.
She rushed to Starlight Park on time the next day. Since Starlight Park was built, it was the first time to hold a music festival, which attracted many people to come to watch. Lan Ning managed to find Ye Cheng in the dense crowd.
"My God, if we had known there were so many people, we would have moved to another place." Lan Ning was a little helpless. Although the music festival was held outdoors, it couldn't handle the crowds. With such a large area, it felt like there was no place to set foot.
Ye Cheng didn't expect that there would be so many people. He looked around and said to Lan Ning, "There are quite a lot of activities today, why don't we go to other places first?"
"En." Lanning wished for it, although the performance was about to start, but she really didn't want to be crowded here, and there was no guest Mo Zhen.
"Why don't we go to Sweetheart for a sit down?" she suggested.
Ye Cheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."
There were many sellers of various flowers and plants on the road. Lan Ning walked and looked all the way, thinking about buying a favorite one and planting it back.
"That flower looks pretty good, isn't it?" She asked casually, wondering what kind of flower it was. Ye Cheng looked at her hand, smiled at her and said, "Wait a minute."
He went to the place where the flowers were sold, bought a small bouquet, and tied it with a special rattan rope. Lanning watched him pay and walked in his direction. At this time, there was just a wind blowing, under Ye Cheng's slightly moving black bangs, a pair of eyes were as clear as the sky.
Lan Ning suddenly thought of the argument of Confucianism, ah, so he named himself Bikongruxi.
"Editor." Ye Cheng walked up to her unknowingly, and called her with a smile, "I heard people say that the author will have a special feeling for the first editor who signed himself. I don't know if others are How about it, but I really like Bian Bian. Would you like to stay by my side and become a god with me?"
Lan Ning was stunned for a moment. Although she felt that Ye Cheng's feelings for her were unnatural, she didn't want to be cheeky and guess in this direction. After all, she was five years older than Ye Cheng. She was really embarrassed to think about it. A young fresh meat in his prime will like himself.
But now she has to face up to this problem, Ye Cheng's eyes are too serious, if she fools around, it is disrespect for other people's feelings.
What's more, she wanted to make this matter clear to him today.
She pursed her lips slightly, looked at Ye Cheng and said, "As an editor, of course I want to go on with you forever, but I can't do anything else."
Ye Cheng's eyes dimmed a lot in an instant, he lowered his eyes and asked, "Is it because of Teacher Xingxin?"
"...What?" Lanning was inexplicably flustered, "Why do you say that?"
Ye Cheng smiled lightly and said, "After all, I am also a writer of mystery novels, so I still have some insight."
The corners of Lanning's mouth curled up. Was her emotion so obvious? If even Ye Cheng has noticed, then Confucianism must have noticed even more, right
... Is that why he is so confident in front of himself
"Uh..." Lan Ning felt that her throat was a little dry, she coughed, and she dared not look Ye Cheng directly in the eyes, "It has nothing to do with Teacher Xing Xin, I just... don't like boys younger than me. You are only 20 years old this year, in the future There are still a lot of uncertainties, for a 25-year-old like me, looking for a partner is all about getting married."
After she finished speaking, both of them fell silent, the crowd coming and going and the occasional breeze passing by seemed to have nothing to do with them.
Lan Ning couldn't bear the atmosphere, after all, Ye Cheng was still a boy in her eyes, would she leave any shadow on him...
She desperately wanted to find a topic to ease the situation, even if it was a few pale words to comfort him. But as soon as she met Ye Cheng's eyes, she couldn't say anything.
In the end, it was Ye Cheng who spoke first: "Have you seen Robert Franklin's "The Dandelion Girl"?"
Lan Ning was a little confused: "What?"
Ye Cheng said: "The heroine of the story comes from the future 240 years later. She met the 40-year-old male protagonist in the woods. The two admired each other and developed feelings for each other, but the male protagonist already had a wife at that time. , the two never crossed the line. One day the heroine’s space-time machine broke down, and she had only one last chance to travel. She didn’t go back 240 years ago, but 260 years ago, when the heroine was twenty years old. A year. Then she married him."
Unknowingly, Lan Ning was taken away by Ye Cheng's story: "You mean, the wife of the hero when he was forty years old is actually the heroine?"
"That's right." Ye Cheng smiled, "This is a very brave girl, just like in the story, she's not sure if the man who fell in love with her at the age of forty would be the same at the age of twenty. I would like her the same, but she went there without hesitation. Fortunately, the ending was happy."
Lan Ning didn't make a sound, Ye Cheng continued: "Time is sometimes so strange. If you met me, I wasn't twenty years old, but like Teacher Xingxin, I was already a mature man who had written many best-selling books. Book, will you choose me?"
Lan Ning was a little moved, not sure if it was because of this story or what Ye Cheng said. She was silent for a while, and finally just looked at him and said: "There are not so many ifs in the world, and the one I met was you at the age of twenty."
Ye Cheng chuckled: "Yeah..." He actually envied the heroine in the story, at least she still has a time machine and one last chance.
The concert has already started, and the atmosphere in Starlight Park is very warm, but it can't dissolve the stiffness between Lan Ning and Ye Cheng at all. Lan Ning thought that in this state, it is impossible for her to go to eat cakes with him again. Now that everyone has made it clear, let's end this embarrassment as soon as possible.
"I'm going back today, I'm sorry..." Lan Ning apologized to Ye Cheng, but before he could respond, she turned and walked in the opposite direction.
Ye Cheng watched her back from behind, and finally called out: "Bianbian."
Lanning paused and turned to look at him.
Ye Cheng pondered for a moment, and the corner of his mouth once again evoked a warm arc that Lan Ning was most familiar with: "One day, I will also become a master."
One, a master who won't lose to teacher Xing Xin.
Lan Ning was stunned, and then smiled at him: "Well, come on!"
This weekend, because of rejecting Xiao Xianrou Ye Cheng, Lan Ning was emotionally affected and stayed at home for two days.
Monday is another working day. As soon as Lan Ning stepped into the company, she felt that everyone looked at her with infinite ambiguity. She twitched the corners of her mouth and walked to her place without knowing why.
The very gossip male colleague sitting opposite her stood up and clicked on her computer: "I heard that you went shopping with Teacher Xing Xin on Friday?"
Lanning: "..."
apple! ! !
She turned her head and looked angrily at the apple next to her. Apple choked twice on the bread in her mouth: "Don't do this, it will affect digestion."
Lan Ning held her wrist vigorously, lowered his voice and asked in her ear: "Didn't you say that you would not tell others!"
"I... didn't tell, I just... slipped my mouth."
Lanning: "..."
"In a group chat," Apple added.
Lanning: "..."
She wants to die.
The group chat that Apple mentioned was a small group created by a few editors and friends. The number of people is actually small, but... I can't stand everyone's big mouth!
There are so many people who come and go in this circle, please spread the word in the editorial department easily, even the author has heard of it a lot!
She wrote down all the authors who sent messages to express condolences to her today, and will focus on urging their manuscripts in the future. But the strange thing is that there has been no response from Yan Ruyu. It stands to reason that his author group should have spread the word.
At this time, the group of writers talking about Confucianism was chatting with each other.
Nineteen: Group leader, just tell me, when to post a wedding invitation, I will choose that time to travel abroad. :)
Yun Qing: Hahahahahaha well done, take me one!
Mu Bai: They bring their wives and children, so you are ashamed to go [picking nose]
The blue sky is like washing:... qwq
Before Bikongruxi came out, Yan Ruyu hadn't planned to talk to this group of people, but at this moment, he made a special effort to stand out in the group.
Xing Xin: Don't worry, no matter where you are, I will send the wedding invitation to you, it is so considerate. :)
Nineteen: Hehehe, can I send you the red envelope with QQ? Just use the one you like best. :)
[The group owner has turned on the ban on all members]
Xing Xin: [Password red envelope] Do you mean this way
Xing Xin: [Password red envelope] I really like it :)
Xing Xin: [Password red envelope] One thousand yuan, spend it :)
Ye Cheng: "..."
He was deeply shocked when he saw the group leader's psychotic attack for the first time. Teacher Xingxin's character design is a bit broken.
He took a screenshot of Yan Ruyu's symptoms and sent it to Lan Ning. When Lan Ning first saw his profile picture, he was a little embarrassed, but after seeing the content clearly...
brocoli:… :)
Cauliflower: I told you a long time ago, stay away from Teacher Xingxin, he has rabies. :)
The blue sky is like washing: …
The blue sky is like washing: Bian, I sent you something.
Cauliflower: What
The blue sky is like washing: yesterday's flowers [poor]
Cauliflower: oh thanks…
Lanning felt that it was fortunate that they were separated by the Internet, otherwise they would not be able to chat like this.
She received the courier before she got off work, and it really was the bouquet of flowers from yesterday, with a small card on it. Lan Ning opened it and looked at it, and there was a line of small characters written on the card with a pen.
The day before yesterday, I saw a rabbit; yesterday, a deer; and today, you.
This is what the heroine said to the hero in "Dandelion Girl". She found out this story and read it last weekend.
She felt that this was Ye Cheng's official confession to her emotionally, and the flowers and card were a kind of commemoration. She let out a sigh of relief and left work with flowers and cards.
Walking to the gate of the community, she saw Yan Ruyu from a distance. Yan Ruyu was delivering a courier at the door, and when he saw her, he greeted her: "Get off work?"
"Hmm." Lanning looked at the things in his hand curiously, "Teacher, what did you send?"
"Book." Yan Ruyu picked up the pen and continued to fill in the express form. Lan Ning walked over and saw that what he was going to send was a sample copy of "Death Message": "Are you going to send it to a friend?"
"not friend."
Lan Ning blinked, and took a peek at the express form he had filled out. The addressee was written on it—Yu Muyuan.
Lanning: "..."
He has gone abroad, why didn't the teacher let him go!
"Why did you send it to him?" Lanning was quite speechless.
Yan Ruyu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's meaningless to let him out of the mirror on purpose, if he can't see it?"
... No, he is also your fan, he must be able to see it, wait a minute.
"How do you have his address?"
Yan Ruyu said casually: "Is it difficult to know this kind of thing? Just ask someone to inquire about it."
Lanning: "..."
"But who sent the flowers in your hand?" Yan Ruyu's eyes fell on the flowers that Lan Ning was holding, and he saw them when she walked over just now.
Lanning hid the flowers behind her back almost reflexively: "No, I bought them myself."
Yan Ruyu's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly pointed to the right with some surprise: "What is that?"
Lan Ning glanced at it signally, Yan Ruyu turned sideways, and snatched the flower from her hand.
Lanning: "..."
Why did she fall for such a simple trick!
"Give it back to me!" Lan Ning wanted to grab it, but Yan Ruyu easily dodged it.
"Another card?" Yan Ruyu raised his eyebrows and smiled, opened the card, and the small words written with a pen fell into his eyes clearly.
Although there was no signature on the card, he knew it must be Ye Cheng.
"Sent by peanuts?" He looked up at Lanning with a mocking smile, "This is "The Dandelion Girl" by Robert Franklin, and you want to copy even the love letter?"
