"There's a bookstore over there, let's go take a look."
After saying that, she blushed and ran over at lightning speed.
Lin Qi found it quite amusing to watch the other person's shy demeanor as they left. He had to admit, she truly was a shy guy; her appearance made him irresistible to tease.
Indeed, Lin Qi's desire to bully the other party reached its peak at this moment. After all, if he didn't bully the other party, who would he bully? On the contrary, he felt guilty if he didn't bully the other party.
Lin Qi quickly suppressed his restless heart. After all, he realized that thinking like this wouldn't work. He was starting to look like a pervert. He had to get rid of these thoughts and ideas. What if he went too far and scared people away?
And it was at this moment that you discovered them at the bookstore.
At this moment, the two of them were browsing in the bookstore again, and the other person suppressed their shyness.
While browsing around, I came across the novel section.
At that moment, Ellie picked up a newly published novel, a look of regret on her face.
Lin Qi glanced at the novel, and his eyebrows twitched wildly.
"Ellie, do you also like reading these kinds of novels?"
Ellie felt that these words made her feel surprised in a way that shouldn't be surprising.
"What do you mean by that? How can you say I also like reading this kind of novel?"
At this moment, Ellie had a feeling that this person might have some misunderstanding about her. Although she didn't know why she had this feeling, she couldn't help but think so. Especially since the other person looked very surprised about her reading novels, it was confirmed that he definitely had some misunderstanding about her.
"What kind of image do you have of me?"
Ellie spoke in a very speechless tone at this moment, because the other person's words made her feel inexplicably swollen, as if the other person didn't have a very good image of her.
After hearing this, Lin Qi spoke up honestly.
"A bookworm who tries hard to improve his grades and studies whenever he has free time."
Ellie: ...
Why would I give you this misconception?
Ellie was speechless at this point. Where did this person get such a misconception?
"Didn't you want to apply to Harbin University abroad?"
At this moment, Lin Qi looked at the other party and spoke in a questioning tone.
Ellie was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, then spoke in a surprised tone:
How did you find out about this?
Ellie was also a little dumbfounded at this point. How did the other party know about this?
"Have you forgotten what you said when you were a child, and now you're working so hard, even studying foreign languages like crazy, and all sorts of other things. The clues are right in front of me, it would be a miracle if I didn't know them."
Ellie: ...
Ellie was a little stunned when she heard this. There were many clues? There shouldn't be many, and you still remember things from when you were a child.
Ellie was surprised that the other person still remembered what she had said.
"Hmph, you have a good memory, and I didn't expect you to remember this."
Ellie looked incredibly arrogant at that moment, but it was clear from her expression that she was in a very good mood, absolutely thrilled by what she had just experienced.
After all, the other person still remembered what she said when she was a child, which was incredibly exciting for a young girl, especially since she had always had a very high level of affection for them. She was overjoyed, but she managed to suppress her excitement. However, the corners of her mouth still turned up.
Chapter 678 Ellie: Found you, you lazy bum!
Lin Qi was speechless looking at the silver-haired girl in front of him. She was clearly overjoyed, with the corners of her mouth turned up, but she still pretended to be nonchalant. He had to admit that this was tsundere, absolutely tsundere. He couldn't be wrong. He didn't expect that she had such a serious tsundere personality, and she didn't forget it even at this moment.
(Russia: I'm so happy!)
At this point, Lynch really wanted to say something like, "You can translate it and tell me, I can accept it, or I can pretend I didn't hear it."
"what are you saying?"
At this point, Lin Qi had to pretend he didn't understand.
Lin Qi was actually a bit speechless. The other person's sister hadn't told them about this. You know, these kinds of things are usually easy to expose, but it seems the two sisters didn't ask each other, which led to a perfect misunderstanding, and he became the biggest beneficiary of this misunderstanding. You have to say, sometimes fate is really a mysterious thing.
That's what Lin Qi thought anyway; it was all a coincidence, and it's just that this thing is quite mysterious.
Ellie started spouting nonsense without hesitation, and she was quite adept at it now. How could she talk nonsense? There were many things that couldn't be explained face-to-face, so the best way was to talk nonsense.
"It's nothing, I just meant you're so childish, you still remember things you said when you were little."
Looking at the other person's mouth, which seemed unable to suppress its smirk, Lin Qi really wanted to say, "Can you please stop saying this with that fake look on your face?" But he knew what it meant to take advantage of the situation and leaned closer, smilingly speaking into the other person's ear.
"Then I'll forget about those things from now on."
Ellie was surprised by the man's lack of sportsmanship and his sudden attack, especially with his face so close to her ear. She was startled and immediately refused without thinking after hearing his words.
"Dah!"
"How can you just forget something like a memory? You'll find these memories to be very important in the future."
At this moment, Ellie didn't hesitate to switch into lecturing mode. To put it bluntly, she just didn't want someone to truly forget these things.
Seeing the other party's serious and lecturing manner, Lin Qi surrendered without hesitation.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault."
Ellie reluctantly let the person go after hearing their portrait.
At this point, Lin Qi chose to steer the conversation back on track, speaking with a curious expression.
"You don't like this book too, do you?"
Ellie nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it feels much better than other novels. At least it doesn't give me the feeling that it's utterly rubbish and overused."
"Moreover, this type of ordinary person struggling by returning from death is more in line with what an ordinary person would experience when they travel to another world."
"I quite enjoy reading this novel, but unfortunately there seems to be no news about the latest volume, and the author doesn't have any blog or other public communication tools."
"I can't help but wonder if the author has simply stopped updating?"
When Ellie got to this point, she sounded both regretful and resentful, as if she wanted to send the author a knife.
Lin Qi picked up a book and held it in his hand, then spoke in a tentative tone.
"Is it possible that someone under the author's command directly acquired the library published by that author, and that the other party became the real big boss, causing the editor-in-chief to not dare to ask this question at all?"
"Or rather, they simply don't dare to urge the author to update. Most importantly, the author also has some issues that have caused them to disappear from the sight of acquaintances for almost a month."
Ellie was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then, after hearing the words, she turned to look at Lin Qi with surprise in her eyes.
Ellie wasn't an idiot. What the other person said was clearly implying that she was the author. After all, this was the other person's business. As for the acquisition of the paperback, she didn't know, but if she knew so much about what happened to that author and why he disappeared, then she was definitely the one.
"You are the author!"
Ellie never expected to run into the author of the novel she was reading here, especially someone she knew. This was outrageous.
"Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"
At this moment, Lin Qi directly took out his phone and showed his past contact with the editor-in-chief.
"Look for yourself. You see, the other party hasn't contacted me recently, and I've been quite busy lately, so I really forgot about it. I would have forgotten about it if you hadn't told me. I wrote this thing, so I can only say that it was all a coincidence."
Ellie was speechless upon hearing this, and then looked unhappy.
"Damn it, so you're the one who stopped updating."
Ellie was furious at this moment. After all, she had finally found someone who hadn't updated their status. It turned out to be right next to her. If she could, she really wanted to give that person a good whack. Did this person even know that she hated me the most for cutting off my roots?
Lin Qi felt somewhat helpless seeing the other party's furious expression; there were some things he didn't want to do either.
"Ahem, actually I feel I can make an excuse, since I didn't mean to, but how should I put it? Although it did happen, I really didn't mean to."
At this moment, Lynch also started to argue his point.
"How can you do this to your readers? So many people are waiting for your updates, but you never do."
At this moment, Ellie immediately switched into fan mode, constantly accusing Lynch, the unscrupulous author, of choosing not to update.
As a reader and fan, I can say I'm very unhappy.
Ellie's feelings at this moment were like those of an author who had finally caught up with someone who had stopped updating—extremely excited and with a lot of things she wanted to say but hadn't been able to. Now she finally had the chance to vent her frustrations.
Lin Qi was a little helpless by the smooth combo of the other party. Although he had thought about what would happen if he met his own fan, he did not expect that it would be his own deskmate. Moreover, the other party was not like Ellie at all. Could it be that all the fans who could not see the updates went crazy like this?
Lin Qi inexplicably felt fortunate that he had the ability and that no one knew his true identity.
Chapter 679 Is this a fishing game? Are you fishing?
"Calm down, calm down."
"Calm down, calm down."
Seeing that the other person had almost finished complaining, Lin Qi patted him on the back to help him calm down. At that moment, the other person seemed to have finally finished venting and stopped.
Lin Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Having fans is a good thing, and the other party is actually quite happy to have fans. But it's just that he encountered this kind of fan. He couldn't fight back or scold them. He could only silently lick his wounds. After all, what the other party said was reasonable, and he couldn't refute them. He could only obediently accept the criticism.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I promise I'll update it as soon as I get back, and I definitely won't let it go on hold any longer."
"Humph╯^╰"
Ellie gave a haughty snort.
"Look, look! Since you're urging me to update, I should at least get some reward. After all, I've worked so hard. You know, I never even considered continuing to update. Now that I have to put pen to paper, as a fan, I should at least encourage the author."
Ellie was taken aback when she heard this. After thinking about it, she felt it made sense. After all, she had come to urge the other party to update the content, and it seemed a bit inappropriate not to offer any reasonable reward. Moreover, judging from the other party's words, it seemed that they really intended to stop updating.
"Then tell me what kind of reward you want. Let me make it clear first, it can't be anything random. It has to be of high quality. After all, if you just give me something random, it would be letting down the readers' expectations."
Upon hearing this, Ellie had no intention of continuing the updates and couldn't help but suspect that the other party might be deliberately lowering the quality. That would be a complete disappointment to the readers, which was intolerable.
"Don't worry, don't worry, the quality is guaranteed, I can guarantee that. How about this, if my latest sales can exceed ten million copies, grant me any request."
At this moment, Lin Qi held up a finger and gestured in front of the other person. The other person fell silent after hearing this and looking at the finger, and thought for a moment.
"Yes, but you can't ask anything too outrageous."
Ellie knew very well that this man was a big pervert. He had often lied to her when they were young, and now she was subconsciously on guard against him.
"Why are you so wary of me? It's just that I tricked you into giving me a few dozen kisses when we were kids. And they were the French kind, too. Is it really necessary to hold a grudge until now?"
Ellie's face turned bright red upon hearing this, and she spoke with a flushed expression.
