That afternoon, other than Ye Qiu, the other three were all working hard to memorize music. At four in the afternoon, the four of them began their first joint practice.
After four years of getting along, the tacit understanding between the four of them had already reached a high level. Although Tong Dahai and the other two were still unable to go off-script, they were already able to smoothly practice the two songs together!
"Very good! Let's call it a day!" The four of them were very satisfied with this progress. They believed that in the next two weeks, they would definitely be able to practice these two songs to perfection!
After dinner at a small restaurant, Ye Qiu brought Little Mengmeng to play in a nearby park.
After dinner, many adults also brought their children to the small park for a walk. Little Mengmeng was not afraid of strangers, and the other children also liked this little sister who looked like a porcelain doll. The two of them quickly mixed together and played happily.
It was not until seven o'clock that Ye Qiu saw that it was getting late, so he carried the reluctant Little Mengmeng and left.
"Daddy, can we play again tomorrow?”Leaning on Ye Qiu's shoulder, Little Mengmeng whispered into Ye Qiu's ear with anticipation," Mengmeng likes playing with them.”
"Alright!" Ye Qiu agreed without thinking." As long as Mengmeng likes it. We'll come again tomorrow!"”
"Yay! Long live Daddy!" Hearing Ye Qiu agree, Little Mengmeng happily hugged Ye Qiu's neck and kissed him on the cheek!
"Daddy, teach me how to sing!" Little Mengmeng said.
"Alright!" Ye Qiu nodded and asked," What song do you want to sing?”
Little Mengmeng lowered her head and thought for a moment."I want to sing the song Dad sang for me this afternoon.”
"No problem!" Ye Qiu smiled and nodded. Then, he started humming the song he sang to Little Mengmeng in the afternoon.
"Two tigers, two tigers, they run fast, they run fast. One doesn't have ears, and the other doesn't have a tail. How strange, how strange ~"
Amidst the brisk singing, the father and daughter pair set off on their way home with brisk steps.
"Hmm? Miss Tang, why are you here?" When Ye Qiu returned home with Little Mengmeng, she saw Tang Yingxue sitting on the stairs in front of her house with a listless expression.
"You guys are finally back." Seeing Ye Qiu return, Tang Yingxue's face immediately revealed a relieved expression, but her tone carried a hint of resentment." I've been waiting here for you guys for two hours. I'm starving!"”
" Uh..." Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment. He looked around at Tang Yingxue and revealed a strange expression." Did you forget to bring your key bag again today?"”
"Swoosh!" Tang Yingxue's pretty face instantly turned red!
Alright, Ye Qiu was right!
This morning, Tang Yingxue opened the door of her roommate, who had just returned from the night shift and was lying on the bed to sleep. Then, after taking a shower and changing her clothes, she rushed to the office to discuss the publishing contract with the president.
In the end, in her hurry, not only did Tang Yingxue forget to take her keys, but she also left her wallet at home. In the end, she did not even have money to eat after work!
Seeing Tang Yingxue's embarrassed expression, Ye Qiu smiled and didn't say anything else. He took out the key and opened the door, beckoning the other party to enter.
Ye Qiu said," We also ate dinner outside. We don't have leftovers at home, but we still have some noodles and vegetables. Do you want to make a bowl of vegetable noodles for you?"”
"Alright, alright!" Tang Yingxue nodded hurriedly.
Five minutes later, a bowl of steaming vegetable noodles was served. Ye Qiu had even added a poached egg.
Tang Yingxue, who was extremely hungry, could not care less about the food. She picked up her chopsticks and buried her head in the food.
After a series of rustling sounds, Tang Yingxue put down her chopsticks. She held her stomach with both hands and leaned back in her chair. She closed her eyes and moaned in satisfaction.
When Tang Yingxue opened her eyes, she saw the father and daughter opposite her staring at her without blinking. There was a hint of shock on their faces. They were obviously stunned by her bold and unrestrained appearance just now!
" Uh..." Tang Yingxue felt her face burning!
It was over! It was really over this time!
Tang Yingxue once again wished that a thin crack would appear on the ground so that she could crawl in!
In just one day, he had lost all face for women!
But…the noodles he made were really delicious!
What kind of man was this?
He had a son at such a young age, and he could write such a good fairy tale. Even his cooking skills were so good. Hmm…he was simply like the man with stories in those romance novels!
As a graduate of Capital University's Chinese Department, Tang Yingxue was a lover of romance novels. In the blink of an eye, she had imagined countless identities and backgrounds for Ye Qiu!
Poor young masters, fallen aristocrats, all of them were thrown at Ye Qiu as if they didn't need money.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Seeing Tang Yingxue's absent-minded expression, Ye Qiu coughed lightly and pulled her back from her fantasy.”
"What? That's right! Something happened! Of course there's something!" Tang Yingxue finally came back to her senses. Her expression turned serious and she smiled.”
As she spoke, Tang Yingxue took out a document from her bag and handed it to Ye Qiu."Our president has agreed to your request. I brought a sample of the contract over for you to take a look. If you agree, come with me to the publishing house tomorrow and we'll sign the contract!”
"Oh? Did your president agree?" Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly!
"Our president is also a fan of children's literature. He really likes the fairy tales you wrote!”Tang Yingxue smiled and suddenly thought of something. The president thinks that these portraits you drew are also very beautiful, so he's prepared to buy them for 1,500 yuan each as illustrations for the story. He also invites you to draw illustrations for other fairy tales. What do you think?”
"No problem." Ye Qiu nodded. These portraits were originally for Little Mengmeng to play with. It was a profit to be able to sell them for 1,500.
Ye Qiu thought about it and added,"However, I have to make it clear that this portrait can only be used as an illustration in the storybook. As for the copyright of other channels, it's still in my hands!”
"No problem!" Tang Yingxue agreed readily!
The next day, Ye Qiu brought Little Mengmeng and followed Tang Yingxue to the Great Wall Press.
In the end, the president happened to have an urgent matter to attend to and went on a business trip. Fortunately, before he left, he handed over the signing of the contract to Tang Yingxue!
There was no press conference, and no guests were present. The two of them signed the contract in a small conference room.
Ye Qiu took out twenty short stories in one go, totaling more than 80,000 words. In addition to the 35 story illustrations that needed to be drawn later, he could earn a total of 65,000 yuan in remuneration.
Of course, because he only had a few illustrations of Snow White at the moment, he would have to wait until the day he handed in all the illustrations before he could get the full payment.
It was funny to say that the price of selling such a fairy tale was not even as much as the price of selling illustrations!
However, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, stories were calculated by words, while illustrations were calculated by an entire painting. There was no comparison.
Moreover, there would be a share of sales in the later stages. By then, he would definitely earn more than selling illustrations!
Ye Qiu had already decided on the name of this collection of fairy tales. It would be called "Dreamy Fairy Tale Hut"!
This was the first gift Ye Qiu had given to his only daughter in the world who had a spiritual and blood connection with him!
As for his pen name, Ye Qiu still used the name he used on WeChat Music. It was still called " One Leaf Knowing Autumn "!
