Xu Momo felt her vision suddenly darken.
The soft touch on her forehead made her instantly understand what had happened.
Xu Rui…actually kissed her forehead lightly.
She suddenly froze.
The contact time was very short, only about a short second, but for Xu Momo, it was as long as a minute.
Xu Rui's lips quickly left her forehead.
Xu Momo was still in a state of crash. She stared blankly at Xu Rui through the lens.
His warm breath gently blew against her nose.
"…I'm sorry." Xu Rui opened his lips again and apologized softly.
Xu Momo felt that her brain had turned into a paste that could not think. She could only repeat the scene that had just happened like an infinite loop.
What…did that mean?
Just as she was in a daze, Xu Rui was still staring at her. Within the scope of his vision, Xu Momo's ability to think was impossible to recover.
Subconsciously, the answer was obvious, but Xu Momo couldn't believe it.
At this moment, Xu Rui suddenly leaned closer to her again.
This time, the tip of his nose touched hers lightly.
Then, she felt a light touch on her lips.
It was as if a feather had gently brushed against her lips.
After separating slightly, Xu Rui turned his head slightly and his lips pressed against hers again.
The suppressed breath was almost imperceptibly blowing on her face, but it was enough to fill her nose with a strange and familiar smell.
Xu Momo felt that her chest was filled with uncontrollable emotions, as if it was about to explode, or as if it was filled with hydrogen and was about to float up.
She couldn't help but close her eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and one hand subconsciously tightened the hem of her dress.
At this moment, Xu Rui suddenly left her lips.
She was stunned for a moment before she slowly opened her eyes.
Xu Rui lowered his head slightly as if nothing had happened. He stared at his phone screen without blinking.
If it wasn't for the redness on his pale face, she would have thought that it was just an illusion.
"What are you two doing here?" Editor Fan's voice suddenly sounded.
Only then did Xu Momo realize that Fan Jiayi was standing near the side door of the hall.
Editor Fan did not seem to notice anything wrong with the two of them. He strode over to them.
"Just now, Cat Doesn't Eat Fish said that he would treat us to dinner tonight.”He smiled and said," There's a free dinner. It's a waste not to go.”
"Dinner?" Xu Rui raised his head and repeated in a hoarse voice," It's not even four o'clock yet.”
"It's okay. We can find a place to sit down and chat slowly. Cat Doesn't Eat Fish said that she really wanted to talk to you more. Unfortunately, time was tight and she couldn't talk to you.”Editor Fan paused for a moment and encouraged," Go ahead, go ahead. You're all authors who write about the same subject, so you must have something in common.”
Xu Rui suddenly turned to look at Xu Momo.
Fan Jiayi glanced at the two of them and seemed to understand something. He smiled and said,""Miss Xu, what do you think?"
Why did it suddenly become her decision?
Xu Momo's ability to think was weakened by the kiss just now. She nodded muddle-headedly." Since he invited me…then let's go."”
"That's great. Then let's go. They've already gone down to the parking lot." Editor Fan said happily, once again completely ignoring Lux's opinion.
Xu Rui stood up silently and patted the wrinkles on his clothes.
Xu Momo looked at his side profile and suddenly recalled everything that had just happened. Her gaze fell on his lips and she felt a little dazed.
Xu Rui looked back at Xu Momo, who was still sitting in the same place, and said softly,"Let's go."
Xu Momo immediately came back to her senses. She quickly jumped up and blushed."Okay, let's go."
Looking at Xu Momo's expression, Xu Rui couldn't help but smile.

When they arrived at the parking lot, they saw Cat Does Not Eat Fish chatting with Hua Chu's sister by the car. It seemed that they were waiting for them.
In addition to these two authors, there was also an older female editor standing beside the car. She was the one who had helped Hua Chumei hold the microphone earlier.
She said that she had to send her child to piano class later, so she wouldn't accompany them.
"I wish you all a good time." she said with a smile.
"Thank you. You helped me a lot today, Sister Rongrong.”Hua Chu lowered his head and expressed his gratitude in a soft voice.
The female editor smiled gently at Hua Chu and then drove away.
"Then shall we go too?" Cat Doesn't Eat Fish suddenly smiled and said," A friend of mine opened a teahouse on Dongquan Road. Let's go there." There are quite a few restaurants on Dongquan Road. We can slowly think of what to eat later.”
"Alright, you treat us. We'll listen to you.”Editor Fan said.
Cat Doesn't Eat Fish said,"Where are the two girls?" What do you think?"
Xu Momo shook her head, indicating that she had no objections.
Hua Chu hesitated for a moment before asking softly," What about Master Lux?”
Xu Rui, who had been standing behind Xu Momo and leaning against the wall in silence, raised his head and said coldly,"I have no objections either."
"Then let's go." Cat Does Not Eat Fish laughed.
*
Dongquan Road was about half an hour's drive away from Qingyue Building.
Cat Doesn't Eat Fish and Editor Fan each drove a car. Hua Chu got into the Cat Doesn't Eat Fish car, and Xu Momo got into Editor Fan's car with Xu Rui just like when they came.
"I'm really sorry for what happened just now," Fan Jiayi suddenly said on the way.”
Xu Rui, who was sitting next to Xu Momo, suddenly looked up and moved his gaze away from the phone.
"I had no choice but to interrupt you during the meeting just now.”Editor Fan said. He glanced at Xu Momo from the rearview mirror and suddenly grinned." Forget it, I won't say anything else. I don't want to spoil the story."”
"Spoiler what?" Xu Rui asked.
At this moment, the red light at the intersection ahead suddenly lit up.
Fan Jiayi quickly stepped on the emergency brake.
Xu Momo cried out in alarm and fell forward.
Fortunately, Xu Rui's arm caught her in time. The moment the car stopped, she leaned backward and leaned on the man's firm shoulder.
Xu Momo suddenly felt her heart beat faster, but she couldn't express her gratitude.
After holding Xu Momo, Xu Rui did not immediately pull his arm back, but still stiffly maintained the position of holding her waist.
Xu Momo did not dare to move.
She was sitting upright, with only half of her hips in the back seat.
She felt Xu Rui's palm on her body through the fabric at her waist, and the warmth of his body was clearly transmitted into her skin...
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Editor Fan quickly apologized." I didn't react in time just now.”He turned to look at them." Are you two okay?”
Xu Rui shook his head slightly. At the same time, he quietly pulled his arm back a little, making his movements look more natural.
Xu Momo nodded unnaturally." Yeah, I'm fine too."”
Then they were lucky enough to encounter three or four green lights in a row. It only took them ten minutes to reach the teahouse on Dongquan Road.
The teahouse was decorated in an antique style. There was an old plaque with blue words on a black background hanging on it, and the words "East Spring Teahouse" were written on it. This shop was in stark contrast to the surrounding bars and restaurants that were filled with neon lights. At first glance, it seemed a little shabby and inconspicuous.
However, as soon as she entered the door, Xu Momo was attracted by the antique decorations and furnishings in the shop. It seemed that the owner of this shop had good taste.
Then, they chose a table near the corner and sat down.
Soon, the waiter brought them the shop's signature Tieguanyin tea and desserts.
"I think we should stop calling each other by their pen names.”Cat Doesn't Eat Fish suddenly suggested. He looked around at everyone and said," Let's start with me. My name is Lin Jun. I'm Double Wood Forest, and I'm Tu Junjun. As for his profession, you all know that he's just a writer who stays at home. Oh, right, I'm 26 years old this year and still single. You're very welcome to introduce me to a girlfriend.”
Everyone laughed.
Hua Chu was next.
Hua Chu smiled shyly and said,""My surname is Lin too. My name is Lin Xiahan. I'm a senior at S University, studying landscape design.”
Was she still in university? Xu Momo was surprised because Hua Chu had been famous for three years.
Thinking of this, Xu Momo suddenly felt a little ashamed. She was already in her third year, but she was still a little empty. Why was the gap between people so big…
"I don't need to introduce myself. You all know me.”Editor Fan chuckled." Oh right, you guys don't know Miss Xu Momo, right?! Come, Miss Xu, introduce yourself.”
Xu Momo suddenly felt a little helpless. In front of these god-level figures, she really did not have any qualifications that she could bring out.
"Are you a writer too?" Hua Chu, who was also Lin Xiahan, asked curiously.
"Yeah, I guess so." Xu Momo said embarrassedly," I'm just a small vacuum.”
After hearing this, Fan Jiayi's reaction was the biggest.
"Are you also an author on our website?”He was surprised." Whose author? Why didn't I know?"
Xu Momo was even more embarrassed. She quickly waved her hand and said,"I haven't signed a contract yet, so I don't have an editor.”
Cats don't eat fish, so Lin Jun suddenly said,""It looks like you're still a university student, right?”
"Yeah, I'm studying at University A. She's in her third year and is my junior sister.”Editor Fan replied happily.
Lin Jun was helpless." You're a joker. I didn't ask you.”
"Hahaha." Fan Jiayi giggled.
Lin Jun looked at Xu Rui, who was sitting next to Xu Momo, and smiled.""What about Lux? How should I address you?"
In fact, his own reputation was not much worse than Xu Rui's, but he deliberately called Xu Rui "God".
Perhaps it was because Xu Rui had always been particularly cold and aloof, always looking like he was not close to strangers, so Lin Jun deliberately chose to speak to him with a respectful attitude.
But because of this, Xu Momo vaguely felt that Lin Jun didn't seem to like Xu Rui. This was actually human nature. No one would deliberately like a person with a cold attitude.
Xu Momo immediately turned to look at Xu Rui.
Sure enough, Xu Rui's expression was just as she had expected. He didn't look at anyone. Instead, he rested his chin on his hand and stared at a spot on the table. He replied expressionlessly,"…Xu Rui."
After saying his name, he immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.
There was a brief silence.
Strictly speaking, Xu Rui's answer was not wrong at all. He was just answering Lin Jun's question seriously.
When Lin Jun asked him how he should address him, he only had to answer by his name.
Fortunately, Lin Jun reacted quickly enough." Oh, I understand. Which Rui?"
Xu Rui replied calmly,"The wise Rui."”
In the end, they actually asked and answered together. One of them was enthusiastic and kept asking questions. The other answered quickly but refused to say a word.
"A student?" Lin Jun smiled. Or a professional writer?"
"…Professional writer."
"Understood, just like me." Lin Jun said," You look younger than me, right?”
Xu Rui gave a short "hmm".
"Uh, how big is that?" Lin Jun said helplessly.”
"By December of this year, 24 years old.”Xu Rui replied indifferently.
Everyone laughed. They probably thought Xu Rui was joking.
Xu Momo knew that Xu Rui was actually very serious…
