Chapter 30 New Book Release!
In fact, good-looking faces are not uncommon in the interstellar age.
Especially after the invention of various gene-improving drugs, as long as you have enough money and are willing to invest, almost all kinds of beauty needs can be met.
But the eyebrows and eyes of the young man in front of him seemed to be just right as if they were drawn by the creator of the universe himself.
One more point will make it darker, and one less point will make it lighter.
It’s just that at this moment, Yu Mian was accidentally looking at Huo Ting, who handed him the materials, so he didn’t notice the sudden silence of the scene.
The last time he looked at Huo Ting face to face was when he changed the medicine for the system mission.
But Huo Ting still had his eyes closed that time, and he was almost like two different people when he lowered his eyes and stared at her now.
Yu Mian quickly lowered his head and avoided his gaze in a guilty manner the next second. However, when he tried to take the confidentiality agreement, he found it strange that...
he pulled it hard several times, but it didn't move! ?
"......?"
He couldn't help but look up at Huo Ting in front of him again in confusion and nervousness.
Could this guy recognize something? ?
Help! QAQ
Secretary Hals beside him also realized that something was wrong, and looked at Huo Ting with suspicion.
This is simply too abnormal.
"Sorry."
But in the next second, Huo Ting, who also withdrew his gaze, let go of the agreement in his hand, and Yu Mian finally succeeded in getting the materials.
Uh...
This guy actually apologized so neatly.
Yu Mian held the materials in his hand, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
It's just that time is tight now, and Yu Mian doesn't want to stay here any longer.
I always feel that if I stay any longer, something will happen sooner or later.
The parents' meeting probably can't be held. Huo Yan, the little guy, can only wish him good luck. I can probably find my editor earlier.
But Huo Ting, why is he staring at me all the time! ?
Even if Yu Mian lowered his head and tried to pretend to be calm while signing, he could feel the vague scrutiny above his head. As
for Lilith, who was sticking to Yu Mian, she instinctively looked up at Yu Mian, who was tense, and turned to look at Huo Ting next to him with an expressionless face.
"Don't keep staring. It's very rude."
As Lilith's unique emotionless voice suddenly sounded in the lounge, the atmosphere froze in an instant.
Everyone around stared at this place in amazement, and they couldn't believe what they just heard.
Lilith was as indifferent and confident as ever.
"You, um..."
But in the next second, Lilith, who was about to continue speaking, was instantly covered by Yu Mian's mouth with tears.
Help!
How could this Bart doll be such an awesome social person!
It's okay to think about this in your heart, but you said it directly in front of Huo Ting's guy?
Are you really not afraid of being killed by the dark shark?
Lilith, whose mouth was covered, looked at Yu Mian in confusion.
I obviously don't want to be stared at by that person, so why don't you let me speak?
Federal people, how strange.
Huo Ting, who was "publicly condemned" by Lilith, finally realized under the subtle gazes of everyone around him that he seemed to be doubting an ordinary citizen for no reason.
"Sorry."
After all, no matter how Huo Ting recalled, he couldn't be sure where this strange sense of familiarity came from.
For Huo Ting's amazing feat of apologizing twice in one day, Hals also felt the peculiarity of Yu Mian, a citizen.
But a certain weird guess in his heart was really a bit scary.
Not far away, the school leaders pretending to handle the final formalities could not help but slow down their movements, and almost raised their ears to eavesdrop on what was going on here!
"Well, I've finished writing it, can I leave now?"
Yu Mian finally signed and handed it over in such a state that every second seemed like an eternity. This time, Secretary Hals took it over instantly.
"Ahem, of course, you can leave now."
Huo Yan, who was sitting on the other side, was almost suffocating.
But he didn't dare to expose his relationship with Yu Mian at this time, so he could only pretend that he didn't know her, as if they had accidentally bumped into each other when they were saving people just now.
After all, who knew that my cousin would come over so suddenly? Now the parents' meeting estimated that they had missed the time. Why didn't the teacher come to see me?
"Is Huo Yan here?"
Just when Yu Mian finally said goodbye to Lilith who was reluctant to leave, put on his hat and prepared to slip away, he received the news that the head teacher finally came to pick him up.
"Ah, teacher, I'm here!"
Huo Yan raised his hand excitedly.
Hurry up and take me back. I don't want to stay with my cousin for even a second.
"Oh, okay, the parents are here too? But General Huo, aren't you too busy to attend the parent-teacher conference for Huo Yan this year..."
The head teacher heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Huo Yan confirm that the little guy was fine, but naturally thought that Huo Ting next to him was here to attend the parent-teacher conference for his cousin.
"Parent-teacher conference? Young master, you are attending the parent-teacher conference today?"
But before Huo Ting could respond, Secretary Hals' eyes widened.
How come he didn't know about this at all?
Theoretically, if Young Master Huo Ting was needed to attend, Qiao Ni would definitely make an appointment with him in advance.
Huo Yan: ...Help!
Huo Yan, who was focused on the excitement, finally realized that he was about to backfire.
"So, is the other parent of Yu Mian here too?"
The head teacher asked ignorantly, and the atmosphere instantly became weird.
Yu Mian, who had already stepped half a step out of the door: ...
the whole person was almost frozen in mid-air, and it can be said that he was as if he was on edge.
Secretary Hals and his group looked at the two words "Yu Mian" signed on the agreement in their hands, and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Huo Ting finally had the opportunity to look at Yu Mian legitimately.
It was indeed very suspicious.
*
"... So this is probably what happened."
Huo Yan, who was taken to a small room alone, insisted that he had used his pocket money to find a stranger to help him hold a parent-teacher meeting because he did not do well in the exam.
After hearing such a plan, the principals and teachers who happened to be here had to marvel at the audacity of the Huo family's little guy.
Yu Mian, who was standing aside, had completely covered his face and did not want to speak.
It was a complete wreck, an unprecedented wreck.
Lilith, who didn't understand the situation at all, was very happy because Yu Mian, who was about to leave, stayed. She
even pushed aside Huo Ting, Hals and other people from the federal government and sat next to Yu Mian.
"Do you want to go with us?"
Lilith asked seriously, looking up at Yu Mian.
"Dad, mom, brother... will all like it."
"?"
Yu Mian was confused. "
Miss means that she wants to invite you to visit our planet. We will officially return in a few days."
"Then Miss thinks that everyone in the family should like you very much."
The old housekeeper of the Bart tribe looked at Yu Mian with mixed feelings and helped translate.
Hiss...
Although I really want to go out for a walk, it's definitely not now. After all, it
is still serialized every day. How can I update it if I go out for a trip?
Wouldn't the reader have to kill himself ? "Thank you very much for your invitation, but I have to work to earn money recently, so I really can't leave at the moment. Sorry, is it okay in the future?" Yu Mian patiently explained to Lilith beside him, completely unaware that what he said was also heard by Huo Ting and his group who came back not far away. Lilith frowned silently after listening. "Miss, all adult federal citizens need to work, because they are born without a castle and without the wealth accumulated by their ancestors. If they don't work hard and just go out to play, they will have no money to support themselves." The old housekeeper was also troubled by Lilith's over-trusting attitude, so he quietly found excuses for Yu Mian. Although the purpose was not to let Yu Mian, a foreigner, be easily taken back to the Eternal Night Galaxy, in a sense it did satisfy Yu Mian's wishes. Do you have to say it so bluntly! If you have no money, no house, and don't work, you will die. You Bart people are really a race that is good at playing straight. Orz "Yes, I still have to pay the rent every month. If I don't make money well, I will have to sleep on the street next month." So Yu Mian covered his chest and agreed silently. "You, don't have a castle?" Lilith widened her rabbit-like red eyes in confusion. "Yeah, the place I live in is about the same size as the castle bathroom at most." Yu Mian felt that there was nothing wrong with his answer to Lilith's question. Fish tank... So much so that the next second, Lilith looked at Yu Mian with a look that could be called sympathy for the first time. Are all the Federation people so pitiful? Under the gaze of everyone around, Yu Mian could only bite the bullet and nod. It's just that why do I look like I've embarrassed the Federation people... I'm sorry, I'm too poor and can't afford a castle! "I'll give you a set, go back." Lilith's domineering words instantly made everyone present look at Yu Mian again. It's almost doubtful whether I was born with such privileges because I'm good-looking! "Ah... Thank you, but I will also work hard to make money! Then I will invite you to my house to play, okay?" Yu Mian was also shocked by Lilith's generous attitude. Although it was a naive tone like a child joking, Lilith's calm attitude made people doubt whether she could really do the same. The old housekeeper on the side was even more frightened, and he almost suspected that Yu Mian, a member of the Federation, had played a trick on his young lady. The key point was that Yu Mian actually refused! This made the old housekeeper of the Bart tribe feel a little complicated when he looked at Yu Mian. Despite this, at the time of parting, Lilith still solemnly asked the housekeeper to give Yu Mian a gift. "I like it very much. I'll give it to you." "Hey, is it for me? Thank you!" Yu Mian took the gift box. He didn't expect to receive another gift. Ah, the Bart tribe is so cute! ? Why do so many people misunderstand the Bart tribe! ? Yu Mian, who was deeply moved at this moment, suddenly felt deeply uneasy. It was not until he watched Lilith being led away by the old housekeeper that Yu Mian, who waved goodbye, sighed in frustration. Because after sighing, Yu Mian was very sure that the highlight was about to come. After all , Lilith had been pestering him just now, so Huo Ting and other federal officials never had the opportunity to interrogate him. Now he couldn't escape no matter what he said. However, to Yu Mian's surprise, Huo Ting and the others did not do anything to him this time. They just followed him silently all the way to the school gate. "So can I really leave?"
There is nothing to ask myself! ?
Yu Mian, who felt like he was dreaming, finally confirmed it incredulously.
"Don't make this kind of money anymore."
However, the only thing he got was a rare piece of advice from Huo Ting, who even seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Yu Mian: ?
"Well, if you really need a job opportunity, you can take this letter of introduction to the military department and report there. There will be some basic clerical job opportunities."
"Although the salary is not high, it will definitely support yourself."
Hals took the opportunity to hand Yu Mian a letter of introduction.
In fact, this letter of introduction looks ordinary, but it is stamped with Huo Ting's rarely used private seal.
As long as you are not too bad, you can get a pretty good job.
"Thank you, thank you..."
Yu Mian looked down at the second "gift" he received unexpectedly, and thought it was too fantastic.
[Because his secretary just went to investigate your identity information! ]
The small system couldn't help but complain loudly.
"Ah? What did he find out?!"
Yu Mian suddenly became nervous.
[No, if I took the initiative to intercept, I would definitely be found to be wrong, so I let them find out the original information of your identity...]
The small system looked at the backs of Huo Ting and his group and explained.
Yu Mian was suspicious, but he couldn't help but open the last gift Lilith gave him.
Agreement, agreement marriage?
Damn, it turned out to be a hardcover physical book of "Agreement Marriage"!
Yu Mian thought that he should be able to guess all this, after all, the editorial department had already told him about the Bart readers.
But he couldn't help but think that this was a bit strange.
"The main thing is how old is Lilith, and she just read the novel?"
[Uh, that Bart seems to be over 400 years old, host, they can sleep for decades. 】
Yu Mian: Huh? ? ?
And Huo Ting, who returned to the lounge, did look at the material on the table again.
"I really can't tell, such a cheap low-rent house can owe so many months of rent, I guess they are really poor, otherwise they wouldn't do this kind of job of opening a parent-teacher meeting."
Secretary Hals was also deeply shocked by the newly released information.
At first, I thought Yu Mian might be a dangerous person, and that he had some ulterior motives to get close to Master Huo Yan. I
even worried that it might be a fake name, a fake identity, the kind that can't be searched at all.
But I didn't expect that this was completely unnecessary.
There was no obstacle at all to check this identity. Just a search on the official backend directly popped up countless dense asset credit warning records.
All of them were in debt.
There was no doubt about the identity information. He was indeed an ordinary citizen of the Federation, but he was really poor and down and out...
Especially after summarizing the materials and hearing Yu Mian's answer in front of Lilith, he simply verified all the information on the identity materials seamlessly.
“Brother! You didn’t do anything to me, did you? I told you, it was all my fault!”
Huo Yan, who had been locked up for half a day, rushed over in a second, fearing that Yu Mian would be bullied by his cousin.
“…”
And Huo Ting looked at Huo Yan in front of him.
“Cancel all pocket money this year.”
It was obvious that he had too much pocket money to do such a thing.
“Ah——?”
Huo Yan was devastated. He never thought that such an incident of hosting a parent-teacher meeting would ruin his pocket money for the whole year!
How could he save money to buy a luxurious fish tank for Yu Mian! ?
However, Huo Yan, who was extremely sad and angry, couldn’t help but crawl to his cousin Huo Ting’s table before being dragged away, and looked over eagerly.
Huo Ting:?
"Brother, that one, don't you think he is very handsome... Do you like him or not?"
Looking at his cousin hesitantly, Huo Yan finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
Hals never expected that young master Huo Yan was so courageous now. For a moment, he didn't know whether to observe a moment of silence or what to do.
"Ah, you obviously like him too, right - otherwise why were you staring at him just now! I also want to invite him to my house to play... um!"
Lilith can invite him, so why can't I!
Huo Yan, who was directly ordered to be sent back to the classroom for class, shouted unwillingly, and the next second he was covered by Hals's hand with sweat dripping down his face.
Help, why are these little ancestors so bold today?
So Young Master Huo Yan just found the best-looking person on the street and paid him pocket money to help watch the parents' meeting. Who
would have guessed that at such a young age, he is still obsessed with looks?
After the parents' meeting ended, Yu Mian ran all the way to the coffee shop under the Universal Building. He finally pulled his hat with a gasp and looked up at the clock tower not far away.
Fortunately, he was not late!
He finally caught up.
Shax was sitting in the coffee shop at this time, and he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
Just when Shax tried to position the big gift bag prepared for Yu Mian at the side at the most perfect angle for the Nth time, he found that someone suddenly came from the opposite side.
?
"Um, sorry, there's someone here..."
Shax looked hesitantly at Yu Mian who was wearing a new mask.
"Editor? Is that my Crispy Shark Editor?"
Yu Mian looked at Shax's shark jacket in surprise and immediately recognized the code they had agreed on.
Shax:!
Ah?
Our own author is here! ?
When Shax watched Yu Mian take off his mask and drink a big sip of water after receiving the gift bag, he almost suspected that he was dreaming.
"Editor, are you also socially phobic offline? Don't like talking? Thank you very much for the gift bag you prepared, I like it very much."
Yu Mian looked at Shax hesitantly, thinking that his editor was not as good at meeting people in person as he was. He
was also numb when he handed the gift bag to him.
Speaking of which, why did he receive "gifts" everywhere today?
"No, I was thinking... We must participate in this year's Rising Star Program! You don't know how annoying some people are because you don't go! But this is obviously fake!!"
Shax held his head and almost cried.
At this moment, Shax wanted to take Yu Mian to the editorial department to show those who spread rumors what it means to be unable to perform!
What does it mean to have a poor appearance!
?
"But I really can't participate in this new star program, although I also want to interact with readers."
But the next second, Yu Mian firmly rejected it.
"Ah, why?"
Shax looked over with grievance.
But it was really strange. It was obviously the first time we met, but when we communicated, it seemed as if we had known each other for a long time.
Even the feeling of being teased by one's own author every time was weirdly the same.
"Because I cannot be recognized, it is probably due to some complicated historical reasons. I am really sorry, editor, that you have to face the pressure of leadership again."
Yu Mian held the Q-version plush doll in his arms and explained to Shax earnestly.
It feels like it is really hard to guide an author like me.
Shax: QAQ
I can only say that the offline impact of my own authors is simply a hundred times greater than that online.
The kind that makes people want to nod their heads no matter what they say.
"However, if the world can accept virtual images, I can participate. Can you make a Q-version avatar of fish soup noodles for me to appear in the live broadcast room?"
Yu Mian looked at Shax's distraught look, thought for a moment, and then proposed a possibility.
In fact, as long as I don't show my face, everything will be fine. I just don't know why Huanyu is so obsessed with letting me participate offline.
"Uh, virtual image!"
Shax was stunned for a moment after hearing Yu Mian's suggestion.
Because it seems that everyone has indeed fallen into a blind spot before.
The main reason is that no new author of Huanyu has ever refused to receive the award on site.
And with the temper of the deputy editor, rather than letting Yu Mian not participate in the event and being targeted by angry readers to blow up the Huanyu building, maybe he can really accept Yu Mian participating in the reader interaction in the form of a virtual image!
"Also, I plan to publish a new article tonight."
Just when Shax was thinking about it, Yu Mian threw a new bomb.
"Ah, a new article tonight!?"
"Yes, I can't hold back my inspiration anymore, I want to write and publish it now."
=w=
Yu Mian was very happy to share this good news with his editor, even though Shax's brain was about to explode.
His own author is really as powerful as ever!
"But what about "Agreement Marriage"!? Readers are almost going crazy with anticipation now, and the backstage has collected countless questionnaires in advance, all asking about the latest plot!"
"If you don't finish writing "Agreement Marriage" and start a new article now, the readers who are chasing for more will definitely explode, and they may even hate the new article!"
Shax analyzed it seriously with Yu Mian, trying to let Yu Mian know how irrational this behavior is.
"It seems to make sense."
"Then let's do this. I'll post the beginning of the new book first, and then update it every other day, or every week. I'll keep the original daily update speed for "Agreement Marriage" until it's finished. Isn't that OK?"
Yu Mian's plan at this moment made Shax stunned for a moment and felt that it seemed to be possible.
However, Shax didn't know at this time how terrible the consequences of the magic of "updating every other day" of this new book would bring.
If he knew in advance, Shax would probably cry and hang himself and beg Yu Mian to wait until the previous book was finished before starting a new one!
"And there is actually an invitation to a concert in the gift package."
Shax saw that the time was almost up, and suddenly remembered the last thing this time.
"Invitation?"
After Yu Mian opened the big gift package, he did see a gold-plated concert invitation slipping out of it.
"Well, a reader from the Conservatory of Music contacted the Universal Editorial Department and sent it to me."
"It was said that because of "The Marriage Agreement", many people have reacquainted themselves with and fallen in love with these ancient musical instruments, so under the guidance of Professor Holes, everyone on campus spontaneously rehearsed an ancient musical instrument theme concert. If you have time, you can go and listen to it."
"And it is a charity event, and all the income will be donated to the scholarship fund of the distant galaxy. It is also a surprise for you, a special reader."
Shax also introduced it to Yu Mian in a strange mood.
"I think even if you don't want to reveal your identity, you should be able to enter the venue offline in the crowd. At least I can tell them that you are in a corner of the audience."
After listening to Shax's explanation, Yu Mian touched the invitation in his hand and suddenly felt relieved.
There has never been a moment like this, making Yu Mian feel deeply that his words seem to have left some traces under the starry sky of the universe.
Maybe they are indeed faint, but they do exist.
"Okay, I will definitely not miss it."
I always feel that this offline trip has really gained a lot.
So, when Yu Mian returned to the study with the help of Huo Yan tonight, he couldn't help but look carefully at the computer in front of him and started typing quickly.
The opening plot of the new book appeared on the optical computer almost without any sense of stagnation!
Yes, I am going to write a time-travel novel this time. A time-travel
novel in which a protagonist from the interstellar era travels to a polar night planet hundreds of years ago and has a series of exciting and thrilling encounters with the mysterious and elegant dark night vampires.
Soon, the interstellar readers who had been looking forward to the plot update of "Agreement Marriage" tonight suddenly received an update reminder in advance.
Wow, the author updated in advance again today?
This is too perfect!
However, everyone clicked in excitedly and suddenly found that this update reminder was not for "Agreement Marriage", but for the second book that appeared under the author's name?
Ah? Yutangmian has actually started a new book?
This news instantly shocked the entire interstellar reader community. They had never expected that the second book would come so unexpectedly.
But the sensation gradually became a little strange.
After all, what kind of novel could this be? Could it be comparable to our "Agreed Marriage"?
The author actually did not write and update the novel properly, but instead wrote a new book.
How abominable!
Interstellar readers, who were in a very tangled mood, simply rushed in all at once and tried to read everything about this new book with a very critical eye.
