How rude, we are pure love!

056. Lao Ba is still outputting! 【Three in One】

The boy woke up in a big bed in the hotel.

White ceiling, clean furniture, sufficient air conditioning, and a spacious space of 20 square meters... There has never been such a wonderful start!

Qingye pressed the alarm clock he had set in advance, and stood up smoothly with a graceful somersault.

Then he went to the separate bathroom, turned on the water heater, and rinsed his whole body with hot water from the shower.

The hairdryer emitted a low hum. After drying his hair, he took out a pair of nail clippers and carefully trimmed and polished his nails until they were round and neat. The clicking sound had a unique rhythm. Then he chose a short-sleeved T-shirt whose price was hard to tell and put it on.

Finally, stand in front of the mirror and comb your hair into an adult style.

perfect.

It's just that he looks a bit too much like a male PR.

But... today, he wants to serve every reader with a cowherd's heart! He strives to get them to consume three books per person!

After everything was ready, Qingye put the sports bag on his left shoulder. The moment he walked out of the hotel, a sultry hot wind blew towards him.

——The journey to the starry sea is right at your feet!

The signing took place in a fairly large, three-story medium-sized bookstore in Akihabara. When Qingye arrived, it was just half past eight - the signing was to start at nine o'clock.

At this time, the bookstore had not yet opened, and there were only a few people sparsely outside the door. Qingye raised his eyebrows and looked over. Usually, when a famous author had a book signing, there should be quite a few people queuing up before the store opened. However, looking at the leisurely look of these people, it seemed more like they were passing by the bookstore to buy books. It was impossible to tell that they were here to attend a book signing event.

"Don't panic, it hasn't even started yet."

Muttering softly, Qingye walked to the second floor of the bookstore - the editor had been waiting there for a long time, and was helping him clean up the area for signing books with the staff beside him.

"Let me help too." He came over and said with a smile.

After a while, the venue was set up. Next to the signing table were cute character standees, piles of books, cardboard boxes, vases... The table itself was much simpler, with only two black pens and a stack of paperback books.

"Here, these are throat lozenges and wet wipes." The editor's eyes were full of love and concern.

"Hmm... not very tasty." Qingye commented, feeling the slightly bitter taste.

"I didn't ask you to eat it now! This is for you to eat during the intermission!" The editor folded his hands in dissatisfaction.

"I was a little nervous just now... Am I dressed handsome enough? Does it meet the fantasy of my female fans about me?" Qingye stood up and showed off.

"You should worry about something else!"

The editor glanced at him speechlessly, but to be honest, this guy's image is indeed top-notch among light novel authors. He can probably attract many girls with his face alone... It's better to keep these words in his heart, otherwise he will become arrogant again.

After a pause, the editor patiently instructed him on some of the next matters, such as how to deal with dull moments and how to handle readers' special requests...

Qingye nodded. The bookstore, which had not yet opened, was very quiet and empty. There were only old bookshelves and books on display in front of him, which inevitably made people feel lonely. But as he talked with the editor word by word, his heart gradually became lighter.

...For some reason, at this moment, he inexplicably thought of Ba Nai Jian.

in case.

If Yanaijian was his editor...what kind of picture would it be now?

She would probably hand him some candy from the convenience store, and he would complain, and then the girl would lecture him, "Kiyano-kun is too serious. Even eating a piece of candy has to be related to work..."

She would encourage him with a more emotional and gentle feeling than the current uncle editor.

As if thinking of that scene, Qingye smiled.

There are still five minutes until the bookstore opens.

An editor was checking a paperback copy. The silence of the space always made time seem to pass very slowly. This world without a trace of sound made one's heart subconsciously anxious. Qingye held his own book in his hand, casually reading the words on it.

Will all the books be sold out today? Will anyone rush here as soon as possible?

Questions like this pop up from time to time. Even if you appear confident on the surface, you are still a little nervous deep down.

The sound of a door opening suddenly echoed in my ears. The book signing had officially begun.

He could faintly hear sounds from the first floor, but it didn't sound noisy, which was consistent with the deserted scene he had seen before.

Kiyono gave a handsome boy's smile.

...The first girl who walked up the stairs to the second floor just looked at him in surprise. Perhaps she was attracted by his appearance. She stopped for a moment, but only looked at him a few more times before walking to the bookshelf on the side.

Qingye's smile froze.

But just then, footsteps were heard.

That was totally inconsistent with the library, which was filled with hot, rapid, and lively footsteps.

The footsteps are getting closer.

When Qingye came to his senses, the whistling wind slightly blew his bangs, and a girl ran in front of him with great momentum.

The slightly breathless girl placed her hands on his autograph table.

"Hehe, I'm definitely number one this time, Aqing!"

The sunny and beautiful girl smiled and spoke, revealing her neat white teeth. That bright smile without any haze was very pleasing to the eye.

"...burning salt?"

Qingye looked at her in surprise, as if he didn't expect her to come so early, but he soon put away his surprise, stretched out his fist and showed the same smile.

"Is this the bond between comrades? I'm so touched."

Shaoyan Lemon bumped fists with him, then sat down and chattered:

"I was so scared just now. When I first ran here, the bookstore wasn't open yet, so I thought I'd go to the convenience store next door to get something to eat first. But when I came back, someone had already gone in... Luckily, they weren't your fans!"

"Hmm? Don't say hurtful things to me with such a cheerful look on your face!"

Qingye complained, then continued, "Did you come here running? I remember your home is quite far from here."

"No, don't get me wrong, I didn't get up early to queue up just for you..."

Shaoyan Lemon crossed her arms, turned her face away, and then burst out laughing again. She playfully stuck out her little pink tongue at the boy in front of her:

"—Hehe, I was kidding. Actually, I woke up early just for Qing and even ran here! Here, an energy drink! You'll probably be talking a lot today, so you can't ignore the water."

The girl revealed her feelings without reservation. She took out the sports drink she had prepared long ago from her bag and placed it on Qingye's right hand side.

"Thanks, but you probably have something else to give me, right?" Qingye smiled and stretched out his hand.

Hearing this, Shaoyan Lemon thought for a moment, then quickly reacted. She took out the sample book that she had treasured from her backpack and handed it to the boy.

Qingye casually flipped through the book in his hand. What surprised him was that the sample book he gave to the girl had obvious signs of reading. One or two pages of the paper were a little yellowed, and it was obvious that the girl had read it repeatedly.

"Has this athletic, stylish girl finally fallen into the trap of being a 'homebody'?"

Qingye smoothed out the wrinkles on the cover of her novel and said jokingly.

"Well, I just like reading A-Qing's novels. To be honest, I was skeptical at first, but I couldn't stop reading halfway through. I read it all in one go that day and couldn't help but read it a second time in the middle of the night..."

Shaoyan Lemon's pretty face flushed slightly, and her words were full of excitement and sincerity.

As she spoke, she inexplicably felt something strange - her relationship with Qingye seemed to have changed a little bit. Before, they were friends and companions who moved forward together, but now, they had a relationship of fan and creator.

"Ah, is it not so good for me to chat with you like this? After all, there are other readers waiting." Lemon glanced behind him and saw someone running towards them from the stairs with a clear goal.

"The first reader must have some privileges."

Qingye wrote his name on a blank page of the book - next to it was a picture of a Q-version girl running and smiling.

"I'm the first one... That's enough. I don't want to cause you any trouble. Let's talk again tonight!"

Burnt Salt Lemon stared at the little man in the book and smiled.

She held the book carefully, then stood up, gave her seat to the reader waiting behind her, and waved to him playfully from a distance.

While Qingye was communicating with this real reader, she did not leave in a hurry, but stood aside and watched for a while with interest.

Is this what Qing looks like when he works seriously...

Looking at the gentle and elegant young man in front of him, Shaoyan Lemon suddenly had an idea.

Before, she liked intellectual and gentle boys. After meeting Qingye, she found that she preferred passionate people. But now she discovered that these beautiful characteristics can be combined in one person.

He can be elegant and passionate, and at the same time, he can run with her and have a pleasant chat with her...

The girl slapped her face hard, not daring to think about it any further.

*

Gradually more and more people came.

The readers were more enthusiastic than Qingye had imagined, and the number of books on the table was decreasing one by one, which made Qingye a little flustered. However, the essence of the book signing event was to chat with readers, and he was quite experienced in this aspect.

The male reader activates the two-dimensional form.

Female readers will start acting like male PR.

The world where everyone is happy is complete.

After entertaining the fortieth reader, Qingye picked up the sports drink at hand and gulped down a large gulp. This job truly required both physical and mental strength. He had to chat with the readers while also satisfying their needs, trying to come up with some unique and creative messages, like writing a sentence in the voice of a different character...

Up to now, he has written the following, including but not limited to: 'To the reader whose soul is about to be harvested', 'Your soul has been immortalized between the pages of my book', and 'Can you give me your LINE account', which was written by a junior high school girl...

He moved his wrist and prepared to continue signing autographs, but at this moment, his eyes were suddenly attracted by someone in the queue in front of him - he saw someone wearing a cute panda headgear, who was out of tune with the people around her. The only way to tell that she was a girl was from the skirt she was wearing.

Every time the team moves forward, the panda mask will vibrate a few times.

The corner of Qingye's mouth twitched. He had heard that some bold readers would cosplay characters when attending book signing events, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation!

In the blink of an eye, it was the mysterious Miss Panda's turn in the queue.

"Guess who I am." A muffled voice.

Qingye thought for a moment: "Old Eight?"

With a "pop" sound, the girl took off her hood in an instant, and her dazzling blue hair fell down. The girl widened her eyes in shock.

"How did you find out!?"

"Intuition..."

It came out very naturally.

And why wear such a meaningless headgear? Even if it is cosplay, at least cosplay something related to the work!

Banaijian blinked, made a subtle "oh" sound with a long ending, and his eyebrows inadvertently raised slightly. The familiar citrus scent mixed with the chemical fiber smell of the doll's headgear came towards him.

"Didn't you say last time that it was too far and you wouldn't come?" Qingye coughed.

"I just passed by and took a look at the situation..."

The blue-haired girl gently played with her hair.

The atmosphere between the two of them was incredibly stagnant for a moment, but Banai glanced at the people queuing behind her and felt embarrassed to dawdle as usual. She temporarily put the headgear on the autograph table and took out the paperback she had just bought, which still had the warm body fragrance.

"Draw me a Death Seal quickly." She pushed the book over. Everyone else used 'please' when talking to Qingye, but she was the only one who used this commanding tone.

"I see...By the way, don't you already have one? Why buy another one?" Qingye asked while drawing.

“If I don’t buy books, people won’t let me queue!”

The girl's eyes flickered and she said it as a matter of course.

"All right."

"And, page 134..."

Under Qingye's gaze, Yanaijian took the book and expertly turned to a certain page. His slender finger pointed at the paragraph that read, "The God of Death said: Your body temperature and soul are far more fiery and vivid than those of others." He said seriously,

"Author, could you explain to me the purpose of this paragraph?"
