Chapter 135 Meeting with Book Fans
Li Chenxu quickly finished his breakfast. While talking, he stood up and gently ruffled Mu Xiaoyu's soft hair, his words and actions full of doting affection for her.
Mu Xiaoyu was captivated by Li Chenxu's gentleness towards her, and the slight embarrassment and indignation she had felt earlier vanished completely because of his actions. She nodded, thought for a moment, then took Li Chenxu's hand as he was about to withdraw it, and said to him, "Be careful on the road. Tonight... if you're going home, remember to call or text me, so I can feel more at ease."
Neither Mu Xiaoyu nor Li Chenxu actually particularly liked going home before. When the two of them were together, they always had endless arguments. If Li Chenxu came home late, or didn't come home at all one night, Mu Xiaoyu would secretly feel relieved that she wouldn't have to face Li Chenxu's expressionless face. As for Li Chenxu, he didn't feel any warmth from his home like a typical family.
Like now, every day when he comes home, the woman he loves most is waiting for him. If, like today, he has something to do and can't come home for dinner, he will receive extra care from Mu Xiaoyu. This feeling is something he has never experienced before.
It's so sweet, like eating honey; it makes your whole heart feel sweet too.
Li Chenxu watched as Mu Xiaoyu tilted her chin up, gazing into his bright eyes, and felt a warmth spread through his heart. He reached out and gently stroked Mu Xiaoyu's soft lips twice, finally uttering a soft "okay" with a smile.
Li Chenxu didn't have much time, so he didn't say much to Mu Xiaoyu before leaving home.
Actually, including the servants, there were quite a few people at the villa. But once Li Chenxu left, Mu Xiaoyu felt that the huge villa was rather empty.
She couldn't help but rub her arms and quickly shook her head. She felt that she was quite ill; her feelings for Li Chenxu were like an unstoppable vine, impossible to suppress no matter what she did.
However, she didn't intend to stop it. Although she was a little worried about the future, she found this kind of relationship very sweet and liked the feeling very much.
Mu Xiaoyu went to bed early last night and didn't check her phone. After Li Chenxu left, she nestled on the sofa and looked at her phone. While fiddling with it out of boredom, she noticed the text message Bai Luo had sent her last night.
It's clear that Bai Luo is a true fan of her books. The text message is full of concern for her. Even through the phone screen, Mu Xiaoyu can feel the other person's affection for her.
Being liked, regardless of the type of liking, is an extremely happy thing for the person being liked.
Mu Xiaoyu really liked this feeling. After reading the text message, she immediately replied to Bai Luo. She didn't have many friends. Although Bai Luo was a few years younger than her, they were in the same industry, and Bai Luo was also a fan of her books and had a good personality. She... actually really wanted to be friends with Bai Luo.
Just seconds after the text message was sent, Bai Luo called.
"Sister Xiaoyu! Are you really okay yesterday? You didn't reply to my texts last night, and I thought... I thought something had happened to you. I barely slept all night!"
The moment the call connected, Bai Luo's excited yet somewhat worried voice echoed in Mu Xiaoyu's ears.
Mu Xiaoyu smiled gently and replied, "I'm fine, I was just a little tired yesterday. I ate dinner when I got home and went to sleep, so I didn't see your text message..."
"It's alright, it's alright..."
Bai Luo breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. Knowing that Mu Xiaoyu was alright, she didn't dwell on yesterday's incident. It was clear that she was a very quick-witted girl. Regardless of whether Mu Xiaoyu was at fault or not, yesterday's incident was not a good thing. Continuing to dwell on it would only rub salt into Mu Xiaoyu's wounds.
Bai Luo and Mu Xiaoyu were several years apart in age, but they shared similar interests and chatted very congenially. Before they knew it, a whole morning had passed chatting with Bai Luo.
Mu Xiaoyu still owed Bai Luo a meal, and since Li Chenxu wouldn't be home for dinner tonight, she made plans to have dinner with Bai Luo together.
After lunch, Mu Xiaoyu tidied up a bit, chose a place for dinner, sent a message to Li Chenxu, and then headed to the agreed location.
She brought the sample comic book that the magazine had sent her with her when she went. Her brief interaction with Bai Luo yesterday revealed that Bai Luo came from a very well-off family. Someone like that wouldn't lack anything materially, so any gift she gave had to suit her tastes.
Since she is a fan of Mu Xiaoyu's books, Mu Xiaoyu's first published comic must be the one that best suits her taste.
Mu Xiaoyu and Bai Luo had agreed to meet at a coffee shop in the city center. They both wanted to get to know each other better so they could meet earlier. They decided to arrange to meet at the coffee shop first, and decide on dinner later.
When Mu Xiaoyu arrived, Bai Luo was already there. Bai Luo was a very pretty girl, and today she was wearing a white dress. Because of her fair skin, the white dress complemented her complexion perfectly, making her look beautiful without giving off a weak or frail feeling. On the contrary, she exuded a vitality and energy that ordinary people didn't have.
Upon seeing Mu Xiaoyu enter, Bai Luo immediately waved to her, her excitement evident.
Seeing Bai Luo's expression, Mu Xiaoyu's lips unconsciously curled up. She carried the bag in her hand and quickly walked over to Bai Luo and sat down.
"Why are you here so early?"
There were still nearly twenty minutes until their agreed time, and judging from Bai Luo's appearance, he had obviously been waiting here for a long time.
Bai Luo blushed slightly upon hearing this, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well... there was nothing else, so I came early..."
Knowing that Bai Luo was too excited, Mu Xiaoyu didn't point it out. She took out the sample copy of the comic and handed it to Bai Luo, saying with a smile, "This is a sample copy that the magazine sent me before. I have two copies, so I brought one over for you. You won't need to buy it separately later."
Actually, Bai Luo bought many copies of the comic as soon as it was released. However, what he bought himself was completely different from what his idol bought. When he saw the sample copy of the comic in front of him, Bai Luo was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
She excitedly took the sample copy of the comic book in her hands, looked at it repeatedly, and finally, as if in disbelief, pulled at her face: "Sister Xiaoyu! You...you're just too good!"
