"Twenty-four years old," Lin Jun said."He's still very young. If he's a graduate student, he should have just graduated."”
He took another sip of tea and suddenly sighed." Actually, when I first decided to give up my postgraduate studies and focus on writing, my family actually disagreed.”
"Is that so?" Lin Xiahan asked with interest.
"Yes, I am. At that time, he had wanted to take this path wholeheartedly and had completely ignored anyone's advice. My first book, Rose Musketeer, was almost all my work.”Lin Jun paused for a moment." Now that I think about it, it was really difficult back then. I can't even remember how I persevered.”
"Wait, why did the topic suddenly become heavy?”Fan Jiayi laughed.
"Oh, it's all my fault." Lin Jun smiled apologetically. Actually, if I had to choose again, I would still choose this path. Although it was difficult, he had finally gained something.”
As he spoke, he turned the topic to Xu Rui."Oh right, I heard that Lux is very low-key. It turns out that you're also very low-key in reality.”
Xu Rui didn't say anything. He probably felt that there was nothing to comment on.
Seeing that Xu Rui didn't want to continue chatting, Lin Jun had no choice but to stop talking to him. He began to talk to Editor Fan about the recent trends in the online literature market. Lin Xiahan had been listening attentively with her chin in her hand. In fact, her eyes were already drifting. Xu Momo suspected that she wasn't listening at all.
"Speaking of which, a lot of new writers are university students.”Lin Jun changed the topic and turned to the background of web novel writers." College students have a lot of spare time, so they're quite suitable for writing novels. Right, just like Xu Momo.”
"I also heard that many famous writers are students of famous universities in the country.”Lin Xiahan suddenly said," Oh right, didn't Goddess Bai graduate from C University?”
Xu Momo was surprised.
C University was one of the top five universities in the country.
This was the first time Xu Momo had heard of this. She only knew that Bai Wenshui lived in Y City, but she didn't know that Bai Wenshui had graduated from C University in Y City.
"C University." Editor Fan repeated the word as if he had thought of something. He suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xu Rui, but Xu Rui didn't react and continued to browse Weibo with his head lowered.
"Actually, for web novelists, academic qualifications are not important.”Lin Jun added.
He was absolutely right.
However, there was no doubt that Bai Wenshui, who had a high academic background, good writing skills, and was a beautiful female writer, would always have a certain degree of advantage over ordinary writers. Who didn't want their goddess to be smart and beautiful? This was human nature.
" Oh, right." Lin Xiahan hesitated for a moment." Actually, I heard that…Master Lux is also a student at C University."”
…It seemed that Hua Chu was quite a gossipy girl. She actually knew so much gossip.
Her words successfully aroused Xu Momo's curiosity. She had heard about Xu Rui before. Xu Rui had once attended university, but he had dropped out halfway. However, she did not know which university Xu Rui had attended.
Could that university really be C University?
Could it be that Xu Rui was once a top student?
"Really?" Lin Jun asked. Master Lux is also a graduate of C University?”
"No," Xu Rui replied lightly.”
"Isn't it?" Lin Xiahan smiled a little embarrassedly." I'm sorry. Don't take it to heart. It's all hearsay.”
Then, they changed the topic.
Lin Xiahan and Xu Momo soon started chatting, probably because they were both girls and about the same age.
Separated by Xu Rui, they chatted about each other's university situation.
"I heard that there are quite A lot of handsome guys in A University.”Lin Xiahan suddenly said," Oh right, wasn't the champion of the campus singing competition from your school?”
Xu Momo couldn't help but admire Lin Xiahan's intelligence gathering ability. She actually knew everything.
"Yes, he's from our school." Xu Momo replied.
--And he's the younger brother of the person beside you. She thought to herself.
After that, they chatted for a while and complained about the horrible food in each other's university cafeteria.
Lin Xiahan suddenly asked curiously," Oh right, Mo, how did you and Editor Fan meet?" How long have you been together?"
"What?" Xu Momo was surprised.
What together?
Xu Rui finally looked away from his phone.
Seeing that the two people in front of her were looking at her, Lin Xiahan seemed to realize that something was wrong.
" Uh," she said carefully," I'm sorry, I thought you and Editor Fan were…I'm sorry."”
Editor Fan heard her words.
"Haha, you don't think Miss Xu is my girlfriend, do you?" Fan Jiayi immediately laughed.”
"Isn't it?" Lin Jun was surprised.
Xu Momo was instantly embarrassed.
In fact, it was understandable that they would think so.
The person who had just introduced her to everyone was Editor Fan. She was neither a signed author nor an editor, and she was Fan Jiayi's senior sister, yet she had to appear at such an occasion. Anyone with a bit of reasoning ability would probably think that she was Editor Fan's girlfriend.
Fan Jiayi opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
At this moment, everyone heard a low voice say,""…Mine."
They immediately looked at the person who spoke at the same time.
Xu Momo widened her eyes and looked at Xu Rui, who was sitting next to her.
What did he just say?
Xu Rui raised his head and glanced at them for a moment before lowering his eyes again, looking a little unhappy.
Then everyone heard him say in a low voice,""…She's mine."
This sentence successfully caused a short silence again. Almost everyone present was stunned.
Only Lin Xiahan reacted. She covered her face with one hand and exclaimed,"…Wow.”
After issuing the " declaration of ownership," Xu Rui lowered his head and continued to look at his phone expressionlessly.
His slightly red ears revealed that he was not as calm as he appeared.
She's mine…mine…mine…
This sentence began to echo in Xu Momo's mind.
She felt her mouth go dry and her heart beat faster.
She stared at Xu Rui's side profile without blinking. What did he mean by that?
Did he mean that she was his friend, or did he mean…literally?
"F * ck, how domineering!" Fan Jiayi was the first to react." Now you're acting like a man."”
Lin Jun and Lin Xiahan laughed.
"Oh, right." Lin Jun suddenly said,"Master Lux, what did you say in the middle of the meeting?"”
Xu Rui raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Momo. The corners of his mouth suddenly curled up slightly."…That's not important anymore.”
"Oh... okay." Lin Jun paused for a moment and didn't continue asking.
After that, they chatted aimlessly for a while.
Suddenly, Lin Xiahan's phone rang. She picked up the phone and said softly,"I'm outside with my friends.……What was that? Oh, all right."
"What's wrong?" Editor Fan asked.
" It's my mother." Lin Xiahan smiled apologetically." She said that I should go home early. There are relatives coming over tonight."”
"You want to leave now?" Lin Jun asked.
Lin Xiahan nodded.
"Then let's not eat tonight?”Editor Fan suggested," We're almost done chatting today. If he wanted to eat, he would wait for another chance.”
Lin Jun thought about it and finally agreed.
In the end, Fan Jiayi suggested sending Hua Chu off.
"By the way, where do you two live? I'll see if I can give you guys a ride back.”Lin Jun asked.
Xu Momo knew that he was asking about her and Xu Rui, so she told him her home address.
Lin Jun looked at Xu Rui again." Where's Master Lux?”
"Just like her." Xu Rui put away his phone and answered calmly.
"You guys live together?" Lin Jun said in surprise.
"She's staying at her house." Xu Rui replied indifferently.
Lin Jun's expression froze for a second. In fact, he did not understand why a high-income person like Xu Rui would stay in a girl's house. Uh…Normally speaking, this should be something that only pretty boys would do, right?
Of course, Lin Jun couldn't express his thoughts.
"That neighborhood is not far from my house. I'll send you back then.”Lin Jun suggested.
Xu Momo felt that there was nothing to decline, so she replied,"Then I'll have to trouble you."
*
On the way back, the car became especially quiet.
Xu Momo and Xu Rui didn't talk much, and Lin Jun didn't seem to be looking for a topic to chat about. He just focused on driving in silence and occasionally chatted with Xu Momo.
When they arrived at Xu Momo's house, Lin Jun suddenly took out two business cards and handed them to Xu Rui and Xu Momo.
"This is my business card.”He smiled and said," I don't have any good points. I just know a lot of friends, so there must be something I can help with.”
Xu Momo immediately took the business card and nodded."Yes, thank you."
Lin Jun's business card was beautifully designed. His pen name, email address, and mobile number were written in thin black font on the light purple background.
Xu Rui took the business card and stared at it for a few seconds.
"I don't have a business card." He frowned and said in a low voice, then looked up at Lin Jun." Why don't you follow my Weibo?”
Lin Jun was stunned, and so was Xu Momo.
Lin Jun probably thought that Xu Rui was just joking, so he smiled cooperatively." Alright, I'll be your fan when we get back."”
After watching Lin Jun drive away, Xu Momo turned around and saw Xu Rui waiting for her at the entrance of the corridor.
He leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets and suddenly let out a long breath. It seemed that he had been tense all day, and only at this moment did he finally relax.
Then, he smiled at Xu Momo, and an obvious smile flashed across his face.
Seeing his smile, Xu Momo could not help but stop in her tracks. She suddenly felt a little nervous, but she still walked quickly to him.
She stopped in front of him and looked up into his eyes. She smiled and asked softly,"Then…shall we go?"
Xu Rui nodded slightly, then turned around and walked into the corridor.
Xu Momo followed closely behind him.
After taking a few steps, Xu Rui suddenly turned around and extended a hand to her.
Xu Momo looked at the slender and beautiful hand in front of her in surprise. She hesitated for a moment before placing her hand in his.
Then, her hand was gently grabbed.
"…Let's go home." Xu Rui said lightly.
