On September 20, 2018, Lin Jiayu finished the book signing event and walked out of the bookstore with Lu Ji.
Lin Jiayu brought a lot of things to the book signing today, two big bags, and as soon as she picked them up, Lu Ji took them over. Lin Jiayu didn't say anything, he had always been like this in high school, and when they were on duty together, he always let her do the easy tasks, and he always took good care of girls.
There were still some young readers at the door who had not yet left. When they saw Lin Xingda and a handsome guy coming out, their eyes widened instantly and they asked excitedly, "Dad, is this your boyfriend?"
Lin Jiayu smiled and said no. The readers looked a little disappointed. She turned to look at Lu Ji and said, "Can you tell the truth?"
Lu Ji glanced at her and whispered, "Lin Jiayu, you stripped me down to my underwear, please give me some face."
Lin Jiayu: “…”
What did she pick on him? Wasn't it just what was written in the book
After waving goodbye to the readers, the two walked to the parking lot nearby. Lin Jiayu then spoke: "Why did you come to the bookstore?"
Lu Ji unlocked the car from a distance of several meters, his hands in his pockets, and said calmly: "I heard from Xu Xiangyang that you were having a book signing event, and when you drove past the bookstore, you saw the promotional photos at the door, and suddenly wanted to go in and take a look."
Lin Jiayu paused and said, "Have you read that book?"
Lu Ji hummed: "I couldn't help it this afternoon, so I read it. I want to know what you wrote about me."
That book...
It recorded many things he didn't know, whether it was about Jiang Tu or Lin Jiayu's unintentional girlish thoughts.
Lin Jiayu pursed her lips, feeling a little complicated. She opened the passenger door and finally reacted. She looked up at Lu Ji and said, "Is it okay for me to sit in the passenger seat?"
Lu Ji threw her things into the back seat and looked over: "You can sit in the back if you want."
Lin Jiayu quickly opened the car door and got in. "No, I still like to sit in the front. Isn't the passenger seat special? Women can't just sit casually. I'm afraid you're also particular about these things."
"This kind of thing is what you romance novel writers would write, right?" Lu Ji snorted.
Lin Jiayu: “…”
She turned to look at him.
Lu Ji glanced at her and said, "Fasten your seat belt."
Lin Jiayu pouted, lowered her head and fastened her seat belt. The car drove out quickly. She looked out the window and heard Lu Ji ask, "What do you want to eat?"
She turned back to look at him: "I'm treating you to a meal, you choose the place." Just as she finished speaking, her WeChat on the phone started ringing.
Editor: "Dear, please satisfy my curiosity. Is it possible for you and your boyfriend to sit at the same table? Can "Embracing the Moon" also have a perfect ending?"
Editor: "You never told me before that I'm so handsome!"
Lin Jiayu's publishing editor had just met Lu Ji in a bookstore and was full of curiosity. He couldn't help but gossip about him.
Lin Jiayu pursed her lips and lowered her head to reply: "Didn't we have photos on our No. 1 Middle School forum before? I thought you had seen them all. After all, he was a male god who amazed many girls during their teenage years. How could he not be handsome?"
She is just one of many girls.
Editor: "I was only paying attention to the prototype of the male lead, so I didn't even notice the damn second male lead!"
Lin Jiayu: "I remember you also hated the second male lead before and even scolded him."
Editor: "If I knew he was so handsome, how could I possibly scold him? If readers knew he was so handsome, they probably wouldn't hate him anymore."
Lin Jiayu: “…”
She remembered that she had written in her book that Lu Ji was very handsome, right
Editor: "Come on, take him down!"
She also posted a seductive emoji, which looked very funny.
Lin Jiayu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Beijing was very congested at the moment. The car moved slowly forward. Lu Ji glanced at her nonchalantly: "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Jiayu casually said: "Oh, my editor praised you for being handsome and asked me to work hard to get you."
Lu Ji was silent for a moment, then chuckled: "Really? Do you think so too?"
Lin Jiayu was stunned. She didn’t know what Lu Ji meant by asking this question. Did he want to know how she felt about him now, or did he want to know... She gave him a red envelope and treated him to a meal. Was she pursuing him
She was silent for a moment, then smiled: "Lu Ji, do you know how many girls in our class had a crush on you before? Not counting our class, how many girls in our 2006 grade, including the junior girls in the first and second year of high school, have had a crush on you? I guess you can't count them. Look how many people are still thinking about you now? Aren't they dating or getting married, without delaying anything. I am just one of those girls, so over the years, I have lived my own life, not disturbing you, not pestering you. The difference between me and other girls is probably that I have been your deskmate for two years, so our relationship is deeper and better."
Lu Ji frowned. For some reason, he felt that she was being too nonchalant. If it was really that simple, why did he change his university choice and go to Guangzhou instead of Beijing? He smiled and changed the subject: "Is it okay to go to a nearby place? It's too congested. There's a pretty good Thai restaurant nearby."
Lin Jiayu held her breath in her chest. She had said such a long speech, but he didn't respond at all? She blew out a breath, and her bangs flew up. She lowered her eyes and said, "Okay, let's go with this one."
That Thai restaurant is very close, only ten minutes away.
After getting off the car, Lin Jiayu walked to Lu Ji's side. She was 162cm tall and wore a pair of 10cm high heels for the book signing event today. Now standing next to Lu Ji, who was 185cm tall, she did not look short and was not overwhelmed by him.
In fact, she seldom wears high heels. She basically sat down during today's book signing session and didn't walk much, so it wasn't a problem.
Now, it seemed a long way to walk from the parking lot to the restaurant, and she had a pair of flat shoes in her bag, and she hesitated whether to change into them.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Ji looked down at her.
Lin Jiayu shook her head: "It's okay, let's go."
Lu Ji nodded: "Let's go then."
After walking a dozen meters, Lin Jiayu suddenly regretted it. She held Lu Ji and said embarrassedly: "Let's go back to the car. I want to change my shoes..."
Lu Ji looked down at the high heels on her feet. Lin Jiayu was not tall, but her proportions were good, with slender calves, thin and white insteps, and light-colored nail polish. A pair of silver high heels made her feet look very delicate.
He looked away and said as if he was bothered: "You are not used to wearing high heels? Why didn't you say that just now?"
Lin Jiayu: "I just forgot."
Lu Ji walked back.
She followed behind.
He opened the back seat, took out her bag, and saw a shoe box inside. Just as he was about to open the shoe box, she snatched it away. Lin Jiayu lowered her head and said, "I can do it myself."
She sat in the back seat holding the shoe box, took off her high heels and put on flat shoes.
Lu Ji stood by the door and took a look, his hands in his trouser pockets, his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lin Jiayu changed her shoes and returned to 162cm tall. But when she stood next to him, she suddenly became 10cm shorter.
Lu Ji suddenly laughed: "It's quite a difference, about 10 centimeters, right?"
Lin Jiayu looked up and glared at him: "So what? I'm 162cm tall, I'm not short, okay?"
"Then why did you do that just now, wearing such high clothes?" Lu Ji locked the car and sneered.
"I'm meeting my readers. You know, every young female reader is now 168cm or 170cm tall or above. If I don't wear high heels, I will look very short and it won't look good when taking photos with them." Lin Jiayu said helplessly.
Lu Ji took two steps, then stopped and looked down at her: "Then you don't care about your image in front of me."
Lin Jiayu looked up at him, lowered her head and walked forward, muttering: "I was so unfashionable in high school, you've seen it all, and you never said anything. Now I'm much prettier than before, and I'm not related to you, why should I care..." What's more, you have seen all kinds of beautiful girls? Why should I compare these? Is there any meaning
Lin Jiayu knew that she looked good, but she was only good-looking, not stunning, and certainly not a goddess. If she wanted Lu Ji to like her because she was beautiful, that was impossible, as there should be no shortage of beautiful girls around him.
Lu Ji looked at the girl walking in front, laughed, and followed her, "That's true."
