Ji Kong finally went to Dongcheng Yan's sales signing party.

If he doesn't go, he will not be Ji Kong.

This is probably his personality flaw.

When he saw a friend in trouble, he always wanted to help, especially a girl like Dongcheng Yan who made him agree with. He knew that he shouldn't go now, but he just couldn't control himself.

After hanging up Dongcheng Yan's phone call, there was a voice in his mind urging and reminding him, just like obsessive-compulsive disorder.

He finally drove to the location where Dongcheng Yan signed for sale.

However, after arriving at the destination, he did not show up, but stood around the corner and observed in the dark.

Strictly speaking, Dongcheng Ayan's "Your Name" is not a light novel, but should be considered a pure love novel with science fiction elements.

In Japan, this type of novel actually has a big market, such as the previous "Love Photo" that sold very well.

What's more, the novel "Your Name" is indeed of excellent quality and the content is very novel and interesting. Now it has been sold for two months and the sales volume has exceeded 300,000 copies. This is definitely a very good result for newcomers who have not received much promotion.

So Dongcheng Ling still has many fans now. Although it was the first time she held a signing party, she didn't have to worry about not having fans attending like other newcomers.

For example, now, there are still half an hour before the signing ceremony, but hundreds of fans have gathered at the entrance of the bookstore.

Ji Kong shrank in the corner and did not show his head. If there were no accidents, he would have been planning to hide like this, but even if there were accidents, he would not show up in person.

But he was found anyway.

It was not Toshiro Aya who found him, but Toshiro Aya's editor Machida Yuanko.

In name, Machida Yuanzi is also Ji Kong's editor-in-chief, but because of Ji Kong's special identity, all his affairs are handled by Kazuto Suzuki, the editor-in-chief of the Electric Shock Library.

However, her patient and serious work attitude was recognized by Ji Kong, and she recommended both Shiyu Xiazhiqiu and Aya Dongcheng to her.

It was not accidental that she could find Ji Kong, or that she was embarrassed like a headless fly, and she was originally looking for something.

When she saw Ji Kong, she showed a look of surprise and walked over and asked, "Teacher Kong, have you seen Teacher Dongcheng?"

Ji Kong replied no, so she stomped her feet anxiously and said, "What the hell is going on? The signing party is about to begin, but Teacher Dongcheng hasn't come yet."

"Maybe something was delayed on the road, can you tell me just by calling me?" Ji Kong said casually.

"I called, but Teacher Dongcheng's cell phone was turned off!"

Now Ji Kong realized the seriousness of the matter.

A girl with a delicate mind like Dongcheng Yan would not happen to have a bloody thing like a phone that has no battery, let alone on such an important occasion.

At the same time, Ji Kong's cell phone ringing also rang.

After answering the phone, Shiyu Xiazhiqiu said on the phone, "Tongcheng classmate is now wandering at our doorstep... Her condition is a bit strange, and she doesn't listen if I call her... You'd better come and take a look."

Ji Kong did not answer and hung up the phone directly.

"Is there any news about Teacher Dongsei?" Machida Yuanko was next to Ji Kong, so she naturally heard the content of the conversation, but she was not really listening.

"Um……"

Ji Kong nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, wrote a note and handed it to Machida Yuanzi, "She is right at my doorstep... You know where my house is. When you find her, if she still refuses to come, I will hand it to her to see."

Machida Yuanko took the note and nodded in agreement.

She is a careful person. She has guessed a lot from Ji Kong's words, but she can't interrupt such things after all, so she didn't ask anything else and drove there.

...

After Machida Yuanko left, Ji Kong found a long chair to sit down in a nearby park.

He knew that he was a bit pretentious and even a little cruel in doing so, but the sad eyes of Nanqinri and Maki left that day echoed in his mind day and night, forcing him to make such a choice.

More than forty minutes later, Ji Kong received a call from Machida Yuanzi.

The other party said on the phone that Dongcheng Yan had been sent to the signing party by her, and she now wanted to talk to Ji Kong about some things related to "Sword Art Online" and asked where Ji Kong was.

Ji Kong told her the location.

Five or six minutes later, a car parked at the entrance of the park. The door opened. It was not Machida Yuanko who got out of the car, but Toshiro Aya with a ponytail and black-framed glasses.

Ji Kong stood up and left.

Dongcheng Yan was already in a panic and was even more anxious when she saw this scene. When she got off the car, she fell on the road with a bang because she didn't stand firmly. Then she got up and ran a few steps, and then stepped on her left foot to her right foot, and an amazing flat fall.

The fall was very heavy, and even Machida Yuanzi was driving could not bear to see it anymore and was about to come down to help her, but Dongcheng Yan immediately got up again and ran forward staggeringly.

Then he fell to the ground with another bang.

When she was covered in dust and ready to stand up again, a hand appeared in front of her.

If Ji Kong could turn around and leave without hesitation at this time, then the fate between him and Dongcheng Yan might have ended here.

But even though he told himself thousands of times in his heart that "I should leave", he finally came back and extended his hand to Dongcheng Yan who fell to the ground.

This is Ji Kong.

After pulling Dongcheng Ling up, before he could speak with tears in Dongcheng Ling, Ji Kong reached out his left hand to her forehead and made a splash of magical power.

Dongcheng Ling was so scared that she closed her eyes. The next moment she heard a "bang" sound, and Ji Kong's middle finger bounced on her forehead.

"It hurts so much!" Dongcheng Ling said pitifully, holding her forehead.

"Then won't it hurt if you fall?" Ji Kong said viciously.

"No pain."

Dongcheng Ling shook her head and said in her heart: Because I feel even more painful when I watch you walk away, I don’t feel the pain of falling.

As things came to this point, Ji Kong no longer thought about avoiding Dongcheng Ling and pulled her to a long chair in the park to sit down.

Seeing this scene from afar, Machida Yuanzi, who knew that she had no need to stay, chose to drive away.

In fact, she knew that it was wrong for her to do this.

For the public, the signing ceremony has begun now, with hundreds of fans waiting at the entrance of the bookstore. She should have taken Dongcheng Ling to the signing ceremony site.

In private, her behavior is likely to offend Ji Kong. With Ji Kong's identity and influence, she is likely to be fired afterwards.

But if she is given another chance to choose, she will still choose to help Dongcheng Yan.

Because when Dongcheng Yan asked her for help in tears, she really didn't know how to refuse.
