Chapter 14 Fourteen, just don't say that sentence

Luo Yang has been unable to contact Zhao Xiaorou these days.He didn't reply much to text messages, and when he called, he either took a long time to answer, or Zhao Xiaorou hung up after a few perfunctory words when he got through.I asked her out for coffee and stopped coming, saying that she was very busy and wanted to meet the author to publish a book or something.Luo Yang asked rightly, is the master's calculation accurate?Zhao Xiaorou froze on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, smiled vaguely, and said, "It's okay." Luo Yang wondered what "it's okay" meant?It seems that the calculation is close to ten, and Zhao Xiaorou has thrown herself into the fiery battle again?Moreover, this new task is not bad?

Zhao Xiaorou really devoted 100% of her enthusiasm and effort into Zhang Li's new book.For a cover design and a girdle, Zhao Xiaorou ran back and forth for a week. Every day she came to the design room with new ideas, which made the designer who drew the picture miserable.After every change and color adjustment, Zhao Xiaorou couldn't wait to talk to Zhang Li on the phone, and even took pictures with his mobile phone to show him and ask him to comment.Zhang Li expresses his opinions seriously every time as if appreciating a work of art, and discusses with Zhao Xiaorou meticulously.But at the end of every discussion, Zhang Li never forgot to say: "I am still willing to listen to you." Zhang Li said that he is responsible for the content of the manuscript, and he completely trusts Zhao Xiaorou in the outer packaging of the book.Because "Xiao Rou, you have a natural aesthetic vision, you don't need to discuss with me about these things. I have finished a work and handed it over to you. How to dress it up is of course up to you, an expert." He discussed, and Zhao Xiaorou became more nervous and worked harder.After finishing the cover bit by bit, the book was published.In order to build momentum, the publishing house will engage in book signings.Zhao Xiaorou started to get excited again.Contacting the venue, contacting the media, all of these without the intervention of others, Zhao Xiaorou managed all of them within a week.

The signing day was chosen on a weekend.The book signing started at nine o'clock, and Zhao Xiaorou's staff came to the venue before eight o'clock, and was stunned by the scene at the door.All kinds of people waiting at the door of the bookstore lined up in a long line, winding for hundreds of meters.In the crowd, there were also stylishly dressed young girls of seventeen or eighteen, standing there talking and laughing, holding a photo of Zhang Li downloaded from nowhere.Xiaorou's colleague stabbed her and said, "You're going to be hot today! Hurry up and call the agency to see if you can get some books over, I guess there won't be enough to sell!" Zhao Xiaorou regained her composure and called the president, anxious Busy to transfer books here again.

Started on time at nine o'clock, Zhang Li changed into a Dunhill suit and appeared in front of the crowd gracefully.The crowd began to commotion, rushing forward one by one.The bookstore sent all the security guards to maintain order at the scene. Zhao Xiaorou's colleagues were crowded by the crowd and had nowhere to hide, so they could only stand behind the signing desk.Zhang Li held a Montblanc signature pen, and without looking up at every pious book buyer, he just took it and signed it.Every book buyer is also an audience of "The Forum", and they must not forget to say something when they come to the front.But no matter how heartfelt words of admiration he said, Zhang Li never raised his head.The little girls holding up the photos took pictures of each other with digital cameras.Everyone squatted under Zhang Li's head, trying to take a picture of Zhang Li's face, but no matter how they took pictures, there was only half a big head on the screen, plus a girl's posed smile.

Tension started to slow down after signing.Zhao Xiaorou noticed the details, and thoughtfully leaned over to his ear and asked "what's the matter".Tension complained, "I'm so tired, my arm is about to break."Zhao Xiaorou quickly spread out her slender fingers and massaged Zhang Li's shoulders.Under the public, Zhao Xiaorou didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and Zhang Li continued his face project with great enjoyment.No one has any statistics on how many books were signed in one morning, but in the newspapers and TV shows the next day, the media ran out of words.Some say 10,000 copies, some say 20,000 copies, and some say 50,000 copies.There was another interesting detail at the scene, which attracted a lot of attention from the media.One, who was said to be a doctoral student from a certain university, appeared at the scene wearing a white T-shirt with the words "Confucius died laughing" on the front and "Mo Zi went mad with anger" on the back.The man huddled in the crowd, suddenly took off his coat and revealed the slogan, which made many people unresponsive.With his own point of view, he quickly swayed in front of Zhang Li's signing platform, and was quickly escorted out by the security guard.As a result, there was a small commotion among the crowd, but order was quickly restored.The doctor didn't even have time to say a word.When Zhao Xiaorou noticed this person, he was already erected.Zhao Xiaorou's attention was all on Zhang Li's shoulders and arms, and she had no time to take care of other things.

Afterwards, the media interviewed the doctor, and he said excitedly to the camera that Zhang Li was talking about Chinese culture, which was misleading the public and blaspheming academics.He also brought a few pieces of paper with him, which listed various flaws of Zhang Li.The good thing is that the media surrounded the doctor and took pictures.This picture was featured in many newspapers and TV news that day. Luo Yang saw Zhao Xiaorou in this lively news.In the chaotic picture, he saw Zhao Xiaorou sparing no effort to massage Zhang Li's shoulder.Luo Yang did not accept the explanation given by the TV news that "Tension's hands are disabled at the signing of the contract". He saw the joy and enjoyment on Zhao Xiaorou's face when she was having a massage.He could see the ambiguity between Zhao Xiaorou and this man.Luo Yang felt a chill in his heart.He couldn't tell why.I have never pursued Zhao Xiaorou, and Zhao Xiaorou has never expressed any affection for herself.The relationship between two people is more reluctantly called "friendship", and it is more appropriate to be called "harmful friend".They pinch each other when they meet, and they are unambiguous in their verbal fights. How can two people with such a relationship feel good about each other?But Luo Yang realized that he was such a cheap person, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't hear that Zhao Xiaorou hurt him.What he dislikes the most is the appearance of a girl who is delicate and a little bird, he can't bear it.He wanted to call Zhao Xiaorou and question her, what was the relationship with Zhang Li?Don't pull the author to pull yourself in.But what would Zhao Xiaorou say?She would reply: "None of your business!" That is, what business is it about yourself?

Lanyun also saw the news.She saw Zhang Li in a suit and leather shoes sitting in front of the camera and treating his admirers proudly.She also saw her good friend serving him with all her heart behind Zhang Li.Lan Yun read something different from Zhao Xiaorou's loving eyes.For four years as a classmate with Xiaorou, Zhao Xiaorou always looked at boys with critical and sharp eyes, and her chin never dropped.Some boys call her "Swan" behind her back, she is really proud.But in today's scene, what Lanyun saw was a gentle and even a little humble Zhao Xiaorou.Lanyun is amazed at the changes that love brings to a person, making it unrecognizable to familiar people.

Zhao Xiaorou herself didn't see this exciting news.When the show was broadcast, Zhao Xiaorou was invited to sit in Zhang Li's Audi A4, and she was invited to dinner.In order to thank Zhao Xiaorou for being busy behind him, Zhang Li wants to invite Xiaorou to a meal very formally.In fact, at this time, Zhao Xiaorou couldn't even lift up the chopsticks, and Zhang Li just flicked his wrists when he came out of the signing scene, but Zhao Xiaorou couldn't even lift his hands. It didn't take long to eat.Zhang Li didn't seem to be tired by the tens of thousands of signatures at all, he kept talking.Talk about the current course, the next plan, and the next book.Zhao Xiaorou became an audience again.After the meal, Zhang Li affectionately invited Xiao Rou: "Come and sit at my house. As my book editor, I always talk outside when I talk about books. I am really rude. Give me a chance to make up for it today, let me officially I invite you once. Miss Zhao Xiaorou, please come to my humble house!" Zhao Xiaorou actually felt flattered.For other authors, the editor Zhao Xiaorou has to visit the door every time. Many old gentlemen only live at home to write, and generally don't go to other places. When guests come, they can only let them in.As for Zhang Li, Zhao Xiaorou has dated him near the TV station, the school, and some film and television bases.No way, who kept him busy, too busy to be at home.

Hearing this invitation, Zhao Xiaorou got into Zhang Li's car without hesitation.It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Li's villa was in Daxing, and Zhao Xiaorou didn't realize that there was something wrong with this place appearing at this time on the road, she even forgot that she was a road idiot, and how she would come back would be a problem .She just felt that she had been waiting for this invitation for a long time, as if she had been looking forward to this moment from the moment she knew Zhang Li. The villa where Zhang Li lives is really a wealthy area, the car enters the gate, and the community is eerily quiet.Occasionally, a dog in the yard barks. It sounds powerful, and it must be a large dog.Every household has a garage, and Zhang Li skillfully parked the A4 in the garage, and opened the door for Zhao Xiaorou in a gentlemanly manner.The moment Zhao Xiaorou entered, the empty living room automatically turned on the lighting.The lights were blurred, Zhang Zhang put down his bag, picked up a remote control and pressed it, and the curtains on both sides of the floor-to-ceiling windows that occupied one wall were slowly drawn.Zhang Li changed another remote control and pressed it towards a set of speakers next to the wall, and the soft music sounded softly.Zhao Xiaorou had just walked to the middle of the living room, before her eyes moved out of the curtains, Zhang Li completed this series of actions.Made Zhao Xiaorou look like Shancai who broke into Daoming Temple's house, enjoying everything in front of her with curiosity.

Tension walked right behind Xiaorou and hugged her from behind.Zhao Xiaorou heard her heart beating suddenly, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond to this movement.A 28-year-old professional woman, facing such a scene and such a person, expresses her pure affection with shyness, which is obviously contrived.But if you give in, you'll make yourself a veteran in love.Push him away and be a "vain pick in the waves", this kind of coquettishness is not something everyone can handle - after all, she doesn't have the qualities to be a lady.Zhao Xiaorou was stunned, she really didn't know what to do.Her temporary indifference allowed Zhang Li to move forward boldly. He knew that at least the other party would not refuse.This kind of hint is stronger than all means of playing hard to get, better than anything else.Tension pulled Zhao Xiaorou's body to face him, Zhao Xiaorou blushed truly.She muttered: "Tension..." and then paused again.Zhang Li smiled and hugged her into his arms without saying a word from the beginning to the end.

Zhao Xiaorou is an adult, of course she understands the consequences of Kui Ye visiting the villa at the invitation of the opposite sex.Zhao Xiaorou dedicated herself naturally.The next day, Zhang Li drove her back to the urban area, and when she was sent home, she still hadn't fully woken up.She has been working hard to recall every detail, until she saw the familiar neighborhood and the familiar building gate.Before she got out of the car, Zhang Li smiled and kissed her, and said "call me", and Zhao Xiaorou walked back to his house. On this day, Zhao Xiaorou didn't do anything, just lay on the bed and recalled every scene of yesterday.Is she wondering if she is in love now?I and Zhang Li have built a relationship to this point, which aspect is it developing for?Will Zhang Li feel that he is too casual?Thinking of the words "one-night stand", Zhao Xiaorou was excited and sat up reflexively.She repeatedly told herself that she was serious, and this serious attitude would definitely be passed on to Zhang Li; she comforted herself that Zhang Zhang must also be serious, otherwise, he could have done it earlier rather than after the book was published.Zhao Xiaorou has seen a lot of rogue scholars who are obsessed with sex, especially for female editors who come to ask for manuscripts, their words are provocative inside and out.Those with gray hair always want to touch their hands; those with fair health wish to go to bed right away.After six or seven years of publishing, Zhao Xiaorou has seen a lot of people like this.From the first time she met Zhang Li, she knew that he was not such a person. But this night was really unusual.Zhao Xiaorou recalled alone, on the one hand, she was enjoying the experience of this night; on the other hand, she was looking for details.She felt that there must be something missing that made her feel uneasy.She thought and thought, and finally realized that it was a communication between two people.No matter on the bed or off the bed, Zhang Li never said the phrase "I love you". These three words are ridiculous to many men, who think they have no meaning, and there is no essential difference between saying and not saying.Many couples have lived their whole lives, and the man has never said this sentence, it seems that everything is silent.But for women, this sentence carries a lot of weight, which is equivalent to a lifetime commitment.With this sentence, not to mention going to bed and dedicating oneself, even going up the mountain of swords and going down into the sea of ​​fire, it is not hesitating.But unfortunately, Zhao Xiaorou, who is very open on face but still traditional in her heart, did not hear this traditional sentence.This confuses her.I am serious, but tension is it?
