He sat on the ground for a while.
Xu Momo couldn't help but put all her attention on the person beside her. Even though they didn't touch each other directly, she could still feel the heat coming from his body.
At this moment, a bold magpie stopped on the lawn in front of them and jumped happily. Xu Momo's attention was successfully diverted by this magpie. She stared at it for a while and suddenly heard Xu Rui say,"…Next week."
"What?"
"There's a meet-and-greet with the readers next week.”
"So fast?" Xu Momo was surprised." Do you want to go?”
Xu Rui shook his head slightly." I don't know.”
He suddenly sighed and turned his head to the side of Xu Momo, but he did not look at her.
"Editor Fan has helped me a lot in the past.”he said in a low, tired voice.
"So you don't want to reject him?"
Xu Rui didn't say anything, which was a tacit agreement.
However, he could tell that this matter had caused him a lot of pressure. Xu Momo guessed that this was probably the reason why he didn't sleep well last night.
She had only guessed half of it right. Of course, she did not know that the other half was because of herself.
Xu Momo pondered for a moment.
Actually, if Xu Rui really appeared in the public eye, his popularity would definitely climb to a new height. Commercial writers nowadays were completely different from the traditional writers of the past. In a sense, they were a new type of idol. Most of the readers of online novels were young people, and many of them were fujoshi who liked to watch Twilight. Xu Rui himself was not bad looking, so as long as he dressed up a little, it would definitely satisfy the fantasies of some fans.
Although the author's appearance was not important, the work itself was important. However, people still hoped to be able to get close to the author they liked. Otherwise, there would not be so many authors who chose to hold readers 'meetings and book signing events. An author who was down-to-earth and willing to interact with his fans would always be more popular than an author who was cold and low-key. This law applied to any industry that faced the public.
For example, the author, Cat Doesn't Eat Fish, was a good example. He was good-looking, had a good temperament, and was gentle and refined. He had the image of a popular herbivore. After a few meet-and-greet meetings, the popularity of Cat Doesn't Eat Fish rose steadily, and many people even became fans of him. In addition, he often interacted with his fans on Weibo, and his attitude was humble and polite, which made people's impression of him double. Now, the number of fans of Cat Doesn't Eat Fish on Weibo had surpassed Lux's.
However, when she thought of this, Xu Momo did not want Xu Rui to attend the meeting. As a fan of Lux, she did not want Lux to become a completely commercial writer like cats don't eat fish. Or perhaps, she was just acting out of selfishness.
However, this was not something she could decide for Xu Rui. It was up to him.
In the next two days, Xu Rui's dark circles seemed to become more and more obvious.
He had probably been feeling anxious about the upcoming meet-and-greet.
Of course, Xu Momo could understand his feelings. Even if he was an ordinary person, he would be a little nervous if he was suddenly asked to appear in public, let alone someone like Xu Rui.
The fans and trolls on Weibo had already started to talk about this meeting. It turned out that this wasn't Lux's exclusive meet-and-greet, but a joint meet-and-greet for a few of the Gods of the River Wei. It was said that several super gods, including Cat Doesn't Eat Fish, would be present.
Of course, Lux, who had always been mysterious and low-key, was the most anticipated. The officials didn't give any definite news that Lux would definitely be there. They only said that Lux might appear.
Just this alone was enough to make a large number of fans excited. Everyone was curious. They all wanted to see what this mysterious god looked like.
But even if Lux didn't appear, they would still be able to see the male god Cat Doesn't Eat Fish, the romance goddess Bai Wenshui who had been focused on sadistic literature for a hundred years, and the veteran who had written many classic works. a beautiful writer, Hua Chu.
With these three great gods present, this meet-and-greet was still extremely popular. The admission tickets that had been pre-sold a month ago had long been sold out, and many people were reselling them at high prices online.
On the weekend, Editor Fan rushed over.
Xu Momo couldn't help but ask him for the entrance ticket because she didn't manage to get it when it was pre-sold.
"What other tickets do you want?" Fan Jiayi glared at Xu Momo." You're considered a family member. I'll just give you a staff pass."”
Pass? So awesome? Xu Momo thanked him profusely.
Then, Fan Jiayi insisted on dragging Xu Rui out.
"What for?" Xu Rui sat motionless in front of the computer desk, unwilling to move.
"Go shopping! A bloody fight! Buying clothes!" Fan Jiayi said," I've known you for so long, but I've never seen you wear decent clothes. You're not planning to wear home clothes to the meet-and-greet the day after tomorrow, are you?”
Xu Rui was helpless." I do."
"Let me see." Fan Jiayi reached out.
Xu Rui opened his carry-on suitcase." These."”
Fan Jiayi picked and chose for a long time." No, these are too childish. They're either T-shirts or T-shirts. Tsk, what is this hoodie? Do you think you're cosplaying a little brother? Lux was such a cool existence. How could he wear these?”
He looked up at Xu Rui and said,"Also, you need to change your hairstyle. It's so messy that even birds want to lay eggs in it.”
"What kind of metaphor is that?" Xu Rui was helpless.
However, Xu Momo felt that Xu Rui really needed a haircut. He usually looked at the mirror and used scissors to solve the problem, which was why it looked so messy.
"Go ahead. It's good to get a haircut." Xu Momo said.
"See, Miss Xu has spoken. Let's go now.”Fan Jiayi laughed.
Xu Rui hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing.
Xu Momo recommended a hair salon in front of her house. The environment was good, and the hairdresser was also very skilled.
The hair salon's little brother received them very warmly.
"Who's cutting hair?" The young man asked.
"Him." Xu Momo and Fan Jiayi pointed at Xu Rui at the same time.
The young man glanced at Xu Rui's hair and instantly revealed a conflicted expression. Fortunately, he had good professionalism and quickly took Xu Rui to wash his hair.
In the end, under the little brother's strong persuasion…no, strong recommendation, Xu Rui actually agreed to perm his hair. However, he didn't say much. He simply nodded and shook his head.
The two of them waited for a long time. She kept her head down to read a magazine. After reading for a while, she actually felt a little sleepy.
Just as she began to doze off, the hairdresser finally fixed Xu Rui's hair.
"Alright." The Barber seemed to be very satisfied with his work.
Xu Rui lifted his hand to take off his hair cloak, turned around, and stood up.
Xu Momo was stunned.
Fan Jiayi was the first to react. He said to Xu Momo in surprise,""F * ck, look, he's so f * cking handsome like this. He's almost surpassing me.”
Xu Rui's hair was no longer a messy bird's nest. The natural curls that had originally grown freely in all directions had become much more docile, but they were not completely straightened. They looked like curls that had been deliberately permed and were very natural.
Some people said that a man's hairstyle could greatly enhance his looks. When Xu Rui had a bird's nest hairstyle, Xu Momo already felt that he was not bad looking.
But now…
Xu Momo felt her heart tighten. She wasn't a beauty lover, but she couldn't control herself from staring at him like a lovestruck fool.
Xu Rui tugged at his collar uncomfortably and walked in front of the two of them.
"How is it?" he asked with a frown.
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Momo with an inquiring gaze.
Xu Momo suddenly felt her heart skip a beat.
"Yes, I am. It's pretty good." She nodded and said in a low voice.
"Very good, very good!" Fan Jiayi smiled." I almost couldn't recognize you."”
Xu Rui looked relieved.
When the bill was being paid, the girl who helped Xu Rui swipe the card smiled especially brightly.
When she was about to pay back the card, her dark blue nail polish unconsciously slid on the back of Xu Rui's hand. She even warmly said to Xu Rui,"Come again, handsome."”
Seeing this scene, Xu Momo suddenly felt a little unhappy.
However, after getting into the car, she quickly forgot about what had just happened.
"Next stop, Tianlu Mall!" Fan Jiayi said happily, like a child who was about to go on an outing.
