That shout jolted everyone waiting outside.
He strained with all his might, craning his neck to try and see into the arena.
The people behind them became restless and pushed forward.
If there hadn't been enough security personnel to hold down the people in the back, the situation would have almost gotten out of control.
Fortunately, many of those standing in the front row were already live streaming, trying to capture the traffic.
People in the back couldn't see what was happening inside, so they simply searched for the live stream and watched the live feed of the people in the first row.
[Holy crap, I finally see him! Is that Liuguang in the black coat?]
[No way, this figure looks... like a girl?]
[So what if she's a girl? Liuguang, the author, never stated whether she was male or female. Does that mean the number one science fiction writer in China has to be male? What kind of stereotype is this?]
Judging from this figure's attire, Liuguang seems quite young.
[He's more than just young. Baseball cap, jeans, and canvas shoes—even college students don't dress like that anymore, let alone someone who's a working-class office worker. He looks like a high school student.]
[High school student? Impossible. Judging from the grand scenes and cultural depth presented in *Edo Tensei Rose*, even if she were a woman, the author, Liuguang, would be at least in her thirties.]
The appearance of the radiant figure, though only seen from afar, ignited the entire audience.
Some live streams already have millions of viewers watching.
Besides fans from China who came to the event and those who didn't, many readers from other countries around the world also tuned in to watch the live stream.
Unfortunately, Liu Guang was not only covered up completely with a hat, but also wearing sunglasses and a mask, so her face was almost completely hidden.
In this situation, even if they were to sign the book face-to-face, they still wouldn't be able to see what Liuguang looks like.
Fans were inevitably disappointed.
But no matter what, being able to get close to your idol is exciting enough.
…
Wen Yu was not outside the venue, but stood in a corner not far from the autograph table.
This is the Wen family's convention center.
How could the young master of the Wen family be crowding outside like ordinary people?
When Wen Yu saw that figure appear, his heart almost stopped for a second.
His premonition was right.
Liuguang is indeed a girl.
Beside him stood Wen Sheng, the chairman of the Wen Group. Hearing that his son had arrived early to wait, he came over to take a look as well.
Looking up, I exclaimed, "Is this the author you've admired for two years? This time, you even offered to provide the venue for him to use for free!"
In front of her father, Wen Yuyi behaved as calmly as ever.
He responded with a "Mm".
"I didn't expect it to be such a young girl,"
Wen Sheng took a drag of the cigarette between his fingers, looked up, and said, "Since you like her, after the autograph session, I'll have someone arrange for her to have dinner with you."
Wen Yu frowned slightly, almost imperceptibly: "No need."
Although he hadn't met Liu Guang in person yet, Wen Yu's intuition told him that Liu Guang wasn't the type to come to dinner with him just because his father said something.
If she were greedy for power and wealth, she could have easily used her fame to sell the copyrights for film, television, and comic book adaptations, and toured the world for book signings to make money; she could have made a fortune long ago.
It wouldn't be like today, with a free autograph session and everyone completely covered up.
It was finally time to enter.
The readers who had been waiting for a long time rushed in.
Even though I didn't get a chance to have Liu Guang sign his autograph, it's still very exciting to be able to buy one of the first physical copies of "Edo Rose" before it's fully published.
Only those who manage to secure a spot inside the main area can enter the enclosed area for signing this document.
A long queue quickly formed.
The girl who was first in line was happier than if she had won the lottery.
He took the book and went to the table, unable to contain his excitement.
"Liuguang, I've finally met you! I really love 'Edo Tensei Rose', I've read it at least five times."
"Thank you."
Jiang Nian didn't deliberately change her voice; she just lowered it slightly compared to her usual tone, making her sound more mature.
While responding politely, he took a gold pen and wrote the words "[Flowing Light]" on the title page.
Ahhh!
Although I couldn't see his face, I could see Liu Guang's large hand.
Such beautiful hands. Fair skin, long and slender knuckles, and beautifully rounded nails.
I feel that Liuguang is probably a beautiful girl. And judging from her hands, she looks to be in her early twenties at most.
Such a young and outstanding leader.
After seeing it, my admiration only grew!
Because there were many people queuing up, and the autograph session only lasted three hours.
Most of the people who came were true fans of Liuguang. Everyone was very self-disciplined and no one took up too much time.
But one after another came, leaving almost no time to rest.
More than an hour later, Jiang Nian couldn't help but rub her slightly sore wrists.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't tired, and my mouth was very dry.
But she was wearing a mask, so it wasn't convenient for her to drink water. Even though there were two bottles of mineral water on the table, she didn't touch them.
But at that moment, a staff member stepped forward and said to the crowd in line, "Let's take a break for now, and let Liuguang rest for a bit. We'll continue in ten minutes."
Jiang Nian was taken aback.
She didn't have anyone arrange a halftime break.
The next second, another staff member came over, holding a bottle of mineral water.
The difference is that this bottle of water has already been opened, and a straw is inserted into it.
With a straw, it's convenient to drink even while wearing a mask, which is very thoughtful.
The other party said, "Miss Liuguang, this is water that our young master sent to you—oh no, I mean wy111, the young master said you should know."
"Don't worry, this bottle of water was just opened, and the straw was also freshly obtained. The young master said you can drink it without worry."
wy111.
Jiang Nian subconsciously looked up and, sure enough, saw Wen Yu's figure not far away.
His casual attire, tall and slender figure, and sharply defined features made him stand out. If he weren't standing in a corner, he would probably attract a lot of attention and be photographed without his consent.
The moment their eyes met, even though the other person was wearing sunglasses, Wen Yu's heart skipped a beat.
She saw him.
She was looking at him.
Especially when Wen Yu saw Liu Guang actually bring the straw close to his mouth and slowly drink the water, his chest heaved.
He opened that bottle of water for her himself.
Even though I couldn't see the other person's eyes, I had a feeling that was both strange and familiar.
It was as if the person he could only imagine before had finally intersected with his world at this moment, and all his guesses and fantasies had become real.
Wen Yu always felt that the most basic and superficial love originated from appearance and physical attraction, and was nothing more than lust at first sight.
A higher level of love is the collision of ideas, the resonance of spirits, and the harmony of souls.
Is it possible for someone to fall in love with someone they don't even know what the other person looks like?
Wen Yu thought that perhaps he would.
Because in that one second of eye contact, what he felt wasn't a heartbeat. It was... a flutter in his heart.
