Crazy host sweet temptation, cold licking the main god and acting coquettish

Hearing the words "loyal reader", Li Yan frowned instinctively, eager to correct his attitude. He sneered coldly: "Of course not."

"I admit that Zou Yanzhi is very talented, but to be frank, he has been away from the world for the past two years, so I guess he can't come up with any new ideas, right? I'm just thinking for the editor-in-chief. Holding a half-useless author with nothing but a reputation is a waste of precious resources."

"Really?" Si Mo looked at him. "If Mr. Li was so dismissive, why did you put a copy of his book aside? You were reading it before I came, right?"

"..."

Li Yan was struck in the heart and subconsciously glanced at his hand. Then he showed a look of disgust and calmly pushed the book signed by Zou Wu away.

His expression was already very ugly, and he said coldly: "No, I just picked it up casually."

The top three best-selling books in the bookstore are "Bai Yu", "Zou Wu" and "Amaretto".

The last string of English words is Li Yan’s pen name, and book fans are accustomed to calling him A Da.

When he entered the store, Li Yan took a quick glance at the books on the shelf and felt a little unhappy.

Although his fame has been steadily rising, even after so many years, Zou Yanzhi's masterpiece is still superior to his.

Although he unfortunately ranked second, Li Yan did not pay much attention to the writer "Bai Yu". Since they were once in the same literary club, he only regarded him as a capable opponent, but he was not too jealous.

So he somehow took down the book "Rift Travel" which was placed on the second highest platform and flipped through it casually while waiting for someone.

Even though he was extremely reluctant to admit it, Zou Yanzhi's books had that kind of magic that made a person who was not optimistic about him at first and even despised him unconsciously immersed in them.

The suspense and rhythm are just right, making people eager to know what will happen next. Every time I reread it, I seem to have new discoveries and feelings. I have to ponder a sentence for a long time before I can see its deep meaning. The final reversal can't help but make people tremble and marvel.

After discovering this, Li Yan angrily threw the book aside, staring at the cover that looked like an evil ghost with vicious eyes, as if he had just picked up a hot potato. It burned his bones all over his body with dense pain.

……

During the conversation, he tried to probe Si Mo again and again, but each of his questions was so sharp that Li Yan had no idea how to answer.

In just half an hour, he felt a little uncomfortable. In the end, he had to take the initiative to end any topic related to Zou Yanzhi.

It was like a game between two smiling tigers. He rarely ended up like today - even if he didn't lose, he couldn't gain any benefit at all.

Li Yan sighed, his deep and complex black eyes fell on Si Mo's face. He knew that the person sitting opposite him was not the stupid beauty he had imagined. On the contrary, he began to enjoy the evenly matched verbal game with Si Mo.

It's really interesting. She is indeed someone that Li Yan fell in love with at first sight.

"We've been talking about other people for so long. When can the editor-in-chief show some concern for me?"

When Li Yan said this, his voice was mixed with three parts of loneliness and seven parts of grievance, although it was somewhat inconsistent with his elite-like face.

Si Mo was indifferent to his deliberate "coquettish" behavior and only replied in an official tone: "I heard that Mr. Li is planning to start a new book recently. How is the progress now?"

Li Yan shrugged: "I've only written less than 30,000 words. Because the front part is not yet complete, the text will look a bit messy, so--"

After a pause, the man smiled and said, "So I may have to trouble the editor."

"It doesn't matter. This is my job." Si Mo started reading it only after he sent the manuscript.

Although Li Yan's paragraphs are not clearly divided and the punctuation is messy, there are no major logical problems and it is worth reading.

Zou Yanzhi said that the book he plagiarized only had a few hundred thousand words, and the subsequent extensions were basically Li Yan's own thinking. So even if his other works are not as good as the first one, they are still ranked ahead of most middle and upper writers in the online literature world.

"If you don't mind, I'll be working on the sidelines. I haven't written today's update yet because I'm in a hurry to meet the editor."

Li Yan folded his hands on the edge of the table and smiled at Si Mo, with a dark and fiery light in his eyes.

"Whatever." Si Mo nodded. He really couldn't bear the naked gazes that were cast at him from time to time. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly raised his head and happened to meet Li Yan's secret gaze at him.

The keyboard sound stopped suddenly. Li Yan pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly and opened his mouth.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Si Mo stood up and said coldly.

After washing his hands, he glanced at the round clock on the wall and felt that it was about time. On the way back to his seat, he found that there were several people surrounding Li Yan.

Several beautifully dressed young girls were looking at Li Yan with shining eyes, but they looked a little shy and reserved, and they kept gesturing with their hands.

Li Yan kept a perfect smile on his face. He then took a pen from a female classmate and wrote something on a piece of white paper.

Si Mo saw it clearly at a glance and knew that he had met a fan of the book.

After signing, a few people were still reluctant to leave and talked to Li Yan for a few more words. Then they took out their cell phones to add contact information.

Li Yan did not move immediately. He slowly pushed the edge of his glasses and caught a glimpse of Si Mo behind him in the reflection.

He just opened his thin lips, said something, then turned around and looked at him meaningfully. The girls also looked at Si Mo with strange expressions, some of which were surprise and amazement.

After a brief glance, Si Mo no longer hid after being discovered. He walked over generously under the gaze. He glanced at Li Yan and asked, "What's wrong?"

Several people exchanged glances, almost trying to hold back their laughter and then dispersed: "Well, sorry to bother you... Thank you for Mr. A's autograph, goodbye!"

No one would have thought that Teacher Li, who looked so gentle and refined, was actually..., and they were so inconsiderate as to disturb her date with her boyfriend!

"He's a fan of the book." After Si Mo sat down, Li Yan slowly explained, "It should be when he was accepting an award at an online literature conference. The photos taken by the media were exposed and he was recognized by fans. However, this kind of situation is not common in normal times."

Si Mo: "What did you tell them? Why do they look at me like that?"

He had a bad feeling in his heart. Sure enough, Li Yan put on an apologetic expression the next second. It was a little deliberate, as if he was performing it on purpose:

"The girls want to add contact information, but you know, I don't add strangers."

Sometimes there needs to be a standard distance between authors and readers. In the past, great authors were too far away and we all looked down upon them.

But there is a saying among the lower-class authors: Falling in love with readers is a taboo, because you never know when the floating spectator will leave you.

He continued, "So, I just borrowed the editor's name and said... I came out with my boyfriend."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows as if it was a matter of course, observing Si Mo's expression: "Look, isn't the effect very significant?"
