The editor looked at Nuannuan sitting in a wheelchair and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I don't know about your legs..."
Nuannuan said: "It doesn't matter, I wasn't like this before."
The editor asked: "Can you tell me what caused your leg?"
Nuannuan said: "It's really inconvenient. You read the article I wrote and asked me to meet so soon. I think you should be very satisfied with my story."
The editor said: "Yes, I stayed up late last night to read this book.
Your writing is very good. When I read it, I always feel a sense of empathy. When I met you today, I realized that what you wrote is probably your true feeling."
Nuannuan said: "Actually, I'm okay. I studied psychology and added some special psychology of disabled people into it.
So this book will be a bit rough in the early stages, but it’s okay later on, and I’m quite satisfied with it.”
The editor said: "I came to see you today just to discuss the price of this book with you.
Is this your first book?"
Nuannuan said: "Yes, this is my first book."
The editor said: "Logically speaking, our signing depends on performance.
But I still like your book very much.
How about this? Can I give you a price that both of us are satisfied with?
I'll give you one thousand words, four to six points after publication, four to you and six to us.
As for the copyright, it’s 50/50, we’ll make it clear in the contract.”
Nuannuan said: "Okay."
Ximai was a little shocked and asked: "Why did you agree so quickly? Didn't you even negotiate the price with me?"
Nuan Nuan said: "It doesn't matter. I like you very much. I like your straightforward personality. It doesn't matter to me if it's dozens of dollars more or less. The main thing is to make friends with you."
Ximai snapped her fingers and said with a smile: "It's so refreshing, I just like you.
If you trust me so much, then leave the contract to me. Once you confirm it later, we will finalize the matter years ago, and then we can have a good New Year."
Nuannuan said: "Okay."
Ximai said: "I'm very happy to meet you. I'll treat you to dinner at noon, just think of it as making a friend."
Nuannuan said: "Then I'd like to thank you first. When my book is published, I'll invite you again, and I'll take advantage of you today."
The two women smiled as snow fell heavily outside the cafe.
When Bo Yang passed by this coffee shop, he accidentally saw Nuan Nuan sitting by the window in the car. He suddenly stepped on the brakes, parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car and went straight to the coffee shop.
As soon as he entered, he suddenly appeared in front of Nuan Nuan, panting, which shocked Nuan Nuan.
Nuannuan said: "Why are you here?"
Bo Yang didn't speak, he just kept breathing heavily, staring at Nuan Nuan with hot eyes and excitement.
When Ximai saw Bo Yang, he coughed dryly. Bo Yang came to his senses and then noticed Ximai beside him.
Bo Yang said: "Auntie, why are you here?
How do you know Nuannuan?"
Aunt?
Nuannuan laughed in her heart, this fate is really hard to say.
Ximai said: "You also know Zuo Er."
Bo Yang sat down without invitation and asked, "Who is Zuo Er?"
Ximai said: "Zuo Er and I are talking about her new book. Today is the first time we meet. She is very talented and I like her very much. We have made an appointment to have lunch together."
Suddenly, Nuan Nuan regretted that she had promised Ximai to go to dinner.
Bo Yang finally understood that Nuannuan was still a writer.
Zuo Er is probably her pen name.
Bo Yang smiled and said: "Okay, I haven't eaten yet, can I go with you to eat?"
Ximai said: "You don't mind Zuo Er, do you?"
Nuannuan said: "I don't mind."
In fact, she wants to leave right now, but she has already promised Xi Mai. If she leaves now, people will see that she just cares.
Ximai is very direct and doesn't mince words. She feels that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, so it's better not to offend her for the time being.
Bo Yang said: "Auntie, let me invite you. Nuan Nuan particularly likes a Western restaurant. I will take you there."
Ximai stared at Nuannuan and smiled: "It seems that we are really destined, Xiaoyangyang is actually friends with you.
I thought he would make some random friends on average, but I didn’t expect he would have such an outstanding friend like you.”
Bo Yang said: "Auntie, she is indeed very good, and many boys like her."
Ximai said: "Then you have to work harder."
Nuannuan just smiled lightly, and the three of them chatted for a while. When they came out of the cafe, the traffic police were towing a car that Bo Yang had parked on the roadside.
Bo Yang changed cars again, Nuan Nuan didn't recognize it, but Ximai did.
Ximai whispered close to Bo Yang and said, "Do you like this little girl?"
Bo Yang said: "Auntie, please tell me what's going on, can you just pretend you don't know?
I'm afraid my parents will hurt Nuannuan if they find out."
Ximai sighed and said, "Your parents are indeed very snobbish, but this girl is not an ordinary girl. If you really like her, you must be mentally prepared to fight her parents to the end."
Bo Yang said: "I know."
Ximai said: "Your car has been towed away, are you not in a hurry?"
Bo Yang said: "Go back and ask someone to pay the fine and issue it."
After Bo Yang finished speaking, he took a few steps forward and placed his hands on Nuan Nuan's wheelchair. After Nuan Nuan felt it, he looked back and said, "Thank you."
Ximai said: "Drive my car."
The three of them came to the western restaurant and found a seat they liked and sat down.
After the food was served, Bo Yang first cut the steak on his plate, and then took the initiative to exchange it with the warm plate.
Nuan Nuan's expression was a little unnatural, but Bo Yang's movements were very skillful.
Ximai watched the whole process.
His nephew is usually arrogant and arrogant. Most women would not take him seriously, let alone take care of him so caringly.
Bo Yang said: "If you eat more, girls will still be a little fatter."
Nuannuan smiled and said: "Thank you."
Ximai said: "Your name is Nuan Nuan, right? I heard Little Yangyang call you Nuan Nuan."
Nuannuan said: "Yes, my surname is Li and my name is Li Nuannuan."
Ximai said: "Are you from the same school?"
Bo Yang said: "She is from the same school, but she is a graduate student."
Xi Mai was shocked. Her information showed that she was only eighteen years old.
Ximai said: "This little girl is really amazing. I want to ask, when do you plan to write your next book?
I would like to make an appointment with you before and discuss the price."
Nuan Nuan said: "Sister Xi, please ask me to think about it after I go back. I really haven't decided what to write for my next book."
Ximai said: "Okay, don't worry, then I'll wait for your good news."
Bo Yang said: "Auntie, I don't allow you to force her."
Ximai smiled at Nuan Nuan and said, "This kid, he started to protect you since he was a friend."
