On the day of the signing event, Qian Yao Tiao rushed in, breathless and apologetic. "I'm sorry, am I late?" 0
 
Wu Qi glanced at his watch with an expressionless face and replied, "It's fine. I knew you would be late, so I told you to come half an hour earlier. You still have ten minutes, so hurry up and tidy yourself." 0
 
Out of the corner of her eye, Qian Yao Tiao noticed Wei Junzi sitting nearby, arms crossed with a smirk on his face, clearly enjoying the scene like a spectator at a show. 0
 
She couldn't help but pout in annoyance, thinking to herself that Editor Wu could have shown her a little more consideration in front of others. 0
 
"Don't rush, don't rush—" 0
 
"One at a time—" 0
 
"Just a sentence to sign? Sure thing." 0
 
Qian Yao Tiao was very dedicated, maintaining her posture for two straight hours while diligently signing autographs. Even Wei Junzi couldn't help but cast an appreciative glance her way, a flicker of admiration in his eyes. 0
 
"Thank you all for your support! We've gone over time today, but I hope everyone will participate enthusiastically in our next event. Thank you! Thank you!" Wu Qi announced as he checked the time and declared the event over. 0
 
Exhausted and sore, Qian Yao Tiao was half-dragged out of her seat by Wei Junzi. Just as she was preparing to head towards the car, a tall female fan suddenly burst forth like a cannonball. "Yao Tiao! Yao Tiao! Look here—" 0
 
"Huh?" Before Qian Yao Tiao could react, the fan had thrown her arms around her and planted a firm kiss on her cheek. 0
 
From the fan's wide grin, Qian Yao Tiao could only imagine how exaggerated the lip print on her face must be. 0
 
"I love every plus-sized girl you write about! Really! Really! I also—hey, let me finish!" The fan's words were cut short as Wei Junzi, with a dark expression, pulled her away like she was a small chick. 0
 
"Don't worry; he’s not staff. We don't have to fear anyone accusing us of disrespecting our fans," Wu Qi waved his hand dismissively when he saw the concern on Qian Yao Tiao's face. 0
 
In truth, Qian Yao Tiao was worried that if the female fan got too wild, it might be detrimental to Wei Junzi. Well, a battle between a chubby girl and an intimidating man… that could be an interesting writing inspiration. 0
 
A minute later, Wei Junzi returned with a frown and asked Wu Qi, "Editor Wu, does this happen often?" 0
 
"Not often, but it's not the first time either. It's not just male authors who get kissed by female fans; our Yao Tiao is quite popular and also well-received by female fans!" Wu Qi said proudly, as if boasting about something remarkable. 0
 
 
"I'll take her home. As for the bill, I'll visit the club another day," Wei Junzi said, ignoring Wu Qi as he helped Qian Yao Tiao into his car. 0
 
"Can't you at least clean up a bit?" Wei Junzi pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, frowning as he carefully wiped the lipstick off Qian Yao Tiao's face. 0
 
Tsk tsk, it's rare to see a man carrying a handkerchief these days. If a young girl saw him like this, focused and frowning, she might just be smitten. If only his touch could be a little gentler... 0
 
"That's enough! Enough! Hehe, I'll wash it for you later..." Qian Yao Tiao felt like her skin was about to be rubbed raw and quickly snatched the handkerchief from him. 0
 
"Next time, remember to resist, got it?" Wei Junzi crossed his arms, pretending to be serious. 0
 
Qian Yao Tiao rolled her eyes and muttered, "After all, he's just a fan supporting me; it's really not a big deal. Female fans, you know!" In her mind, fans were like her benefactors, deserving of careful treatment and not to be offended lightly. 0
 
"But male fans must be rejected, do you hear me?!" Wei Junzi emphasized, glaring at her until she agreed. 0
 
"So your treatment is completely different from others. Do you really think I'm playing with you?" Wei Junzi's gaze was intense as he stared at her. 0
 
"Why is that?" As a romance novelist, Qian Yao Tiao couldn't accept such an abrupt development of feelings. 0
 
Aren't the male and female leads supposed to get to know each other first, face various obstacles, and then have the male lead heroically break through before they can finally be together? 0
 
Wei Junzi was finally losing patience. He gently pinched her chin and said seriously, "Think whatever you want! If you really believe I'm playing with you, fine. I'll play with you for a lifetime!" 0
 
He didn't want to admit that he had unknowingly fallen for this woman who had once embarrassed him. 0
 
Qian Yao Tiao felt those words sounded like sweet nothings. Before she could savor them, Wei Junzi held the back of her head and pulled her in for another passionate kiss. 0
 
"What are your thoughts?" Afterward, Wei Junzi asked with a confident smile. 0
 
"I think all those plots I wrote before were weak. Also, you're actually a hypocrite, aren't you?" This was Qian Yao Tiao's heartfelt opinion. 0
 
Half a year later, one day, Wei Junzi knocked on Qian Yao Tiao's door again: "Yao Tiao, I brought you pizza." 0
 
 
"Whenever you bring me food, I feel like something bad is going to happen! When you came to my house half a year ago to urge me to submit my manuscript, weren't you there to bring me breakfast?" Qian Yao Tiao crossed his arms and looked at him warily. "You make it sound like I, your boyfriend, have never brought you anything in such a long time." Wei Junzi changed into slippers as if she knew the way, put the Pizza on the dining table, opened the box, and the hot air instantly filled the air. "Pizza! You've never brought me Pizza before!" Since that incident of urging me to submit my manuscript, she has never eaten Pizza again. In her heart, Pizza + Wei Junzi = a talisman for urging me to submit my manuscript! Wei Junzi spread her hands and said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll be frank. I didn't want to affect your appetite. Wu Qi has commissioned me again. I heard that your new book is about to reach the deadline, so I have to go back to my old job. Considering our relationship, I'll give you a 20% discount. How about that?" "Hypocrite, get out!" Qian Yao Tiao stamped her feet in anger. This was the third time that Wu Qi and Wei Junzi had colluded with each other. She decided to fight back. She felt that when she was on deadline, she was controlled by these two people and felt like she was under house arrest. "Have you ever heard a saying?" Wei Junzi decided to suppress her thoughts of resistance and asked seriously. Qian Yao Tiao was stunned: "What?" "Graceful scholar, a gentleman is a prisoner!" Wei Junzi smiled evilly and moved closer and closer... A minute later, Qian Yao Tiao, covering his swollen lips, roared angrily: "Hypocrite, it's not enough that you squeezed me to write articles, you also took advantage of me, the article and me, you can only choose one!" 0
