Lin Que's reason was like a thorn, piercing her heart with pinpoint accuracy.

Did she misunderstand from the very beginning?

...

In the evening, Lin Que returned to his new home in Xisheng Mansion.

As soon as you enter, you can smell the rich aroma of food.

Wang Xiulian was humming a little tune as she busied herself in the open kitchen, her face beaming with an undisguised smile.

Lin Jianguo sat on the sofa in the living room.

Wearing reading glasses, he was intently reading the newspaper in his hand.

That newspaper was the Jiangcheng Evening News.

"You're back?"

Lin Jianguo looked up and adjusted his glasses.

"Go wash your hands and eat."

"What good news is happening today, Dad? Mom? Why are you so happy?"

Lin Que changed his shoes and went to the living room.

Wang Xiulian came out carrying a plate of stir-fried pork with chili peppers.

"Xiao Que, look!"

Wang Xiulian pointed excitedly at the newspaper Lin Jianguo was reading.

"It's all in the newspapers! That guy named Jian Shen is amazing!"

Lin Jianguo also put down the newspaper.

His usually serious face was now full of admiration.

"It's more than just remarkable."

He remarked with emotion.

"I played chess in the neighborhood today, and Old Zhang and the others praised me."

It is said that this teacher, Jian Shen, has a truly kind heart.

To save a little girl, they dared to stand up to those officials, and now they want to do some kind of charity.

"Tsk tsk, that's what a scholar should be like—upright and principled!"

Wang Xiulian placed the dishes on the table and took Lin Que's hand.

He began to educate her earnestly:

"Son, did you hear me?"

This is the kind of role model you should learn from!

I'll read less of those violent and scary online novels in the future.

Read more of other people's books and learn how they write these heartwarming stories.

She paused, then, as if remembering something, excitedly added:

"By the way, the newspaper said that Professor Jian Shen's book will be launched at the city library this Saturday!"

When our family goes together, we must buy a few books to bring back.

Keep one copy for yourself and one at home.

And some more... take them and give them to your teachers and classmates, so they can learn from them too!

Lin Que listened as his parents went on and on, showering Jian Shen with their elaborate praise.

She even wanted to drag me to her own book launch.

Buy yourself a book, and then give it to your teachers and classmates...

He stood there with a well-behaved smile on his face, but inside he was practically laughing like a pig.

"Dad, Mom, the school talked about this today too."

He picked up a few bites of meat and put them in his mouth, chewing as he spoke.

"The school is still... umm..."

Lin Jianguo feigned anger:

"You child, you only say half of what you mean. Can't you finish eating first?"

Lin Que made a swallowing motion and then rubbed his chest with his hand.

"Ahem, the school even said they'd send me as a representative to participate in the event!"

"real?"

Lin's mother stood up in surprise and looked at Lin Que.

"My son is so outstanding, he can even represent the whole school to meet that Mr. Jian Shen!"

Lin Que shoveled two more mouthfuls of rice into his mouth and then waved his hand.

"Well, that person didn't mention the press conference. I was just one of the many student representatives!"

"I see. He didn't even attend the press conference. This great writer is truly mysterious."

Lin's mother sat down after thinking for a moment.

"What do you know? This is called 'a true master doesn't show off.' The teacher doesn't care about these commercial things at all!"

Mr. Lin spoke of Mrs. Lin with a knowing look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother nodded as if she understood but not quite.

"By the way, Xiao Que."

Then it seemed like she suddenly remembered something.

"The school must really think highly of you to send you as their representative this time."

If you happen to meet that teacher when you get there, be sure to learn a lot from him! Understand?

"Okay, Mom."

He suppressed a laugh and nodded seriously.

"I will definitely learn from Teacher Jian Shen and strive to write such positive works as soon as possible."

"If I can meet him, I'll ask you for his autograph!"

"Ah, that's right!"

Wang Xiulian patted his hand with satisfaction.

The family enjoyed their dinner together in a harmonious atmosphere.

At the dinner table, Lin Que ate his rice...

I couldn't help but laugh as I listened to my parents enthusiastically planning their weekend idol-chasing adventures.

He just responded with "uh-huh".

My phone vibrated.

A text message notification came from an unknown number.

Hello, Lin Que. I am Xu Lan, an editor at the "New Tide" magazine. I apologize for bothering you.

Ms. Shen has already discussed the book signing event with me on Saturday.

On behalf of the magazine, I extend a warm welcome to you.

Xu Lan? Lin Que raised an eyebrow.

Immediately afterwards, a second text message arrived.

Additionally, as a loyal reader of "Jian Shen" (a popular online figure), I would also like to have a chat with you.

I'm very curious about someone who can write words like "Fireflies."
