After a moment of sourness, Jun Yexuan hugged Qiao Qing as she got off the car, “Qingqing, your fourth brother is scaring me.”
Qiao Qing, “…”
Qi Yuyang began to curse at the sight, “Out here in public?! You’re a man who is without shame! Do you even care about having face?!”
Qiao Qing patted his head and said in a comforting tone, “I’m going to class now.”
Qi Yuyang, “…”
Jun Yexuan raised his eyebrow at Qi Yuyang to provoke him. Qi Yuyang was so angry he began to emit smoke.
Qiao Qing finished off her class of the day and was just about to go get lunch when Sun Jing called.
Inside a restaurant by UCC.
After Qiao Qing ordered food, she asked Sun Jing, who sat across from her, “What do you need me for?”
Sun Jing rested her chin on her hand and blinked, “Baby Qingqing, now that you’re in University, can you plan out your next book? Your fans have been whining for years.”
Qiao Qing sipped on her tea and said lightly, “I have no time. Also, I have no plans to write another book.”
Sun Jing, “…”
Though Qiao Qing’s answer made her choke, it was expected.
She tried to play it coy, “Can’t you reconsider?”
Qiao Qing, “No.”
“Okay,” Sun Jing continued, “Because your ‘Immortal’ is turning into a drama, your fans have been very active. They are now very interested in you as a person.”
“A lot of people who failed to buy a copy of your book have been bugging me to release some more. Do you want to use this chance to make some sales? Why not release another batch?”
Qiao Qing, “No.”
Sun Jing, “…”
Sun Jing clenched her teeth for a while and began to wipe those rare tears of hers away.
“All the other publicists’ authors do exactly as asked. Their production rate is like a female pig. How come my life is so unfortunate and I work with someone who’s so lowkey? Do you even know how much the editor for Yi Shiqiong brags in front of me every day?”
Qiao Qing, “Why does that concern me?”
“…” Sun Jing’s brows twisted into worms, “You sold the copyright to a drama and also showed up in person for its opening ceremony. How come you can’t even fulfill my little request?”
Qiao Qing squinted his eyes, “How do you know I went to the opening ceremony?”
Sun Jing’s face turned red and she rubbed her hands together, “I just got my marriage certificate with director Shen. He told me.”
Qiao Qing, “…”
No wonder those two talk in the same manner now.
“If you want to make more sales, you can. But don’t even think about doing a meet and greet. Also, don’t ask me to sign anything.”
Qiao Qing took over the fish she ordered, said thanks, and began to eat.
Sun Jing, “…”
What could she do? They work together. Even if she had to kneel, she needed to spoil Qiao Qing.
After lunch, Qiao Qing went to the UCC library.
She loaned out all the medical books she didn’t know well and began to read. Before long, someone sat down across from her.
In the beginning, she didn’t even pay attention. She didn’t even raise her head.
But then, whispers started to hit her ears, “The two talented girls from our school are together again.”
Another girl mumbled, “you’re right. Did you see the forum thread this morning? #YiShiqiongvsQiaoQing, who is more suited for the ‘UCC talent’ title. There were all sorts of discussions in that thread.”
“It’s true. One’s a well-established author with great writing abilities and a talented zither player. The other one gets great grades and is skillful at Go. Their realms of specialties are different. So it’s hard to choose.”
“With writing, I don’t think Qiao Qing would be worse off? She got 750 total on the entrance exam, which means she got 750 in literature. If she cannot write, how did she score full points?”
