Chen Dongguo's attention was indeed attracted by Jingchai's question.

"Nothing... We just happened to be talking about your novel, which everyone praised highly. But when we wanted to hear your opinion as the author, we found that you were not here... It would be fine if you were not here, but you were clearly here, but you didn't show up, which would be too offensive to us outsiders... So, they sent me to bring you back..."

His words were flawless and even somewhat modest, and there was no sign that the great writer looked down on the young, fledgling author.

Jiang Baige sighed inwardly: Sure enough, if a male intellectual wants to pretend to be a beast in human clothing, he knows how to disguise himself too well...

With the halo of fame and talent, it is easy to capture those naive girls who are full of ideals and aspirations for literature.

Sometimes things in the world are unreasonably "fair": those extremely talented young girls are extremely naive and trusting when it comes to people and relationships.

Fortunately, she is already in her thirties...

"By the way, Xiao Jiang, are you and Jing Chai here also talking about literature?"

Chen Dongguo turned the topic to Jiang Baige again. This time, she had no choice but to smile and nod and continue: "Well, I saw the novel written by my senior today, and we happened to meet, so we started chatting."

Jiang Baige still tried her best to keep the topic on Jingchai.

Unexpectedly, this seemed to be exactly what Chen Dongguo wanted.

At this time, he was standing between Jiang Baige and Jing Chai. Jiang Baige could hardly see Jing Chai's expression. He only saw Chen Dongguo's hand gently placed on Jing Chai's shoulder and patted him.

"In that case, why don't we go together? Although it's not very formal, we can also hear everyone's opinions on this novel?"

Although it was a question, it did not mean to seek anyone's opinion.

This invisible sense of authority is difficult for real students to detect, and they can only appreciate it after they have stepped out of this relationship.

She didn't have that back then either.

I even jumped for joy every time he got close to me, and started to worry about his occasional loss of contact.

But now, even though her soul has jumped out of this relationship - her real age is in her thirties (including the time after her rebirth), she has experienced PUA in the workplace, and she has also experienced starving to death in pursuit of her dreams, and she will no longer be easily fooled by any "pie in the sky" anymore.

But because he was trapped in this body in his early twenties and the identity of a student, he was unable to say "no" to Chen Dongguo.

The three of them quickly came into the crowd, which included Chen Xi and Shi Xin.

Jiang Baige walked at the end, but she could clearly see the expressions of Chen Xi and Shi Xin: when they saw Chen Dongguo, they looked normal; when they saw Jing Chai, Shi Xin frowned slightly; and when they saw Jiang Baige who walked out last, there was an unspeakable uneasiness in their expressions.

"White dove, come here."

Shi Xin stood up and greeted Jiang Baige. Jiang Baige turned his head to look at Chen Dongguo and Jing Chai.

"Your ex-boyfriend is calling you. What are you standing there for? Come over here."

Jingchai joked, and everyone laughed. This time, Shi Xin did not make any excuses. Jiang Baige kept observing Chen Dongguo's expression out of the corner of his eye - sure enough, he was upset.

Chen Xi also followed Shi Xin's example and invited Jing Chai to sit over.

But this time, Chen Xi did not get what he wanted, because Chen Dongguo said that Jingchai was the protagonist of the discussion and should naturally sit among "their" group of literati.

Chen Xi pouted, but did not argue with her father. She sat back in her seat unhappily.

Jiang Baige also came to Shi Xin at this time, and Shi Xin stretched out his hand and hugged her.

"Are you okay?" he asked quietly.

His words revealed too much information. Jiang Baige asked knowingly: "Me? What can happen to me? Teacher Chen will eat people?"

"You know what I'm talking about..." Shi Xin continued to lower her voice, "Were you with Senior Sister Jing just now?"

At this time, Chen Dongguo coughed twice, indicating that the discussion was about to begin.

But Jingchai only mentioned his novel twice and then turned the conversation to Jiang Baige, saying that classmate Xiao Jiang was also from the Chinese Department of Linyi University, so she was his student and also wrote novels, so he wanted to hear a few words from her.

In her previous life, Jiang Baige would have been fluttering her heart to be so focused on by her idol - or even her secret crush.

But now… she felt a little nauseous.

Sure enough, no matter how glamorous something is, after it is demystified, it is just an ordinary person with a nose and two eyes - and old at that.

Jiang Baige cleared her throat and said, "What I write is not mainstream, but the threshold is low. As long as you have the hands, you can post it on the Internet and naturally someone will read it."

After a few seconds of silence, someone quietly asked, "What is that...online literature?"

Then someone asked: "Can online literature be considered literature?"

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a middle-aged man, bald, thin, with an expression full of disdain.

Jiang Baige laughed: "It is indeed a mixed bag, not worthy of being on the list. Sometimes I also curse, what are those things on the list? Especially the male channel, which is nothing but infinite sexual fantasies about women... But although it is a mixed bag, it also provides a platform, at least we can see the diversity of species."

Unfortunately, those prominent people present here do not want to understand or talk about such "low-brow" things.

Chen Dongguo also noticed it, so he asked again: "I talked to Shi Xin before, and he also made a TV series adapted from online novels... So, have you ever thought about this development path? Or have you ever thought about publishing something in a magazine?"

Shi Xin frowned and then relaxed her brows, replacing them with a respectful smile: "Bai Ge likes to write, so she doesn't care about those things, right?"

"Yes, I'm writing a sweet story about a domineering CEO falling in love with me." Jiang Baige looked at the condescending but disdainful expressions of the people present and felt very comfortable. "Why? Because I write about feminism, and people think I'm preaching, so no one reads it."

Those who understand can hear what she is satirizing.

But there are more people who understand but pretend not to understand.

Jiang Baige thought that she had finally disappointed Chen Dongguo - she would not ask anything of him, so she was no longer worth "seducing".

His gaze turned to Jingchai, who was sitting on pins and needles beside him, and changed the conversation to her article "Paradise".

Jiang Baige looked at the group of old men who had become active again from afar, and suddenly felt a sense of irony in paradise.

Isn’t this moment exactly as described in the novel?

It seems that you are in a glamorous paradise of literature, with so many well-known writers discussing literature with you. But in fact, it is more like a group of flies making a noisy buzzing in your ears, which makes the person in the center most painful. You can't help but wonder: Is it because I am a piece of feces that they are attracted here?

Jiang Baige couldn't stand it anymore, so she decided to be a heroine and take Jingchai away from there...

But as soon as she stood up, someone held her hands down.

She turned her head and saw Shi Xin pursed her lips and shook her head at her.
