I listened to your advice and finally became a male god.

Chapter 208 Acting

In the evening, Zhang Yang ordered a few local specialties, such as red carp in purse, sun-soaked autumn pot, etc. After all, the first step to understand the local customs is to taste the local authentic taste.

"What do you think?" Xie Shuting asked.

"Not bad, is this Jiangxi taste?" Zhang Yang said while tasting.

"There are both Jiangxi flavors and Huizhou flavors." Xie Shuting held up her chopsticks and said with a smile, "By the way, let's talk about you. You came all the way to invite me. It seems like I have to be the one. I'm the one in charge of you." Have you read my book, or something?”

Zhang Yang blinked.

What do you mean you have to be her? It's not a list given by the system. After all, it involves a big industry. Otherwise, if he has nothing to do, he would come all the way to hire someone?

Of course, this cannot be said.

"All of them. The person in charge is interested in your work. It just so happens that I am also a fan of your book, so I took the initiative to invite you." Zhang Yang said.

"Are you... my book fan?" Xie Shuting raised her voice with disbelief.

"Really." Zhang Yang's face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat.

It's not a very deep masterpiece, and Su Xiaoran is not a prolific writer, so he spent most of the day reading book reviews, figuring out the evaluation of the characters' relationships, and reading the original text again, basically... That's pretty much what I can say.

"For example, your book [Boyhood: Seventeen Years Old, Left to Right], what I like the most is what's in it..."

He talked eloquently, and the eyes of Xie Shuting opposite him became brighter and brighter.

But at this moment, Zhang Yang no longer revealed his purpose too much. This is called retreating in order to advance.

"Unexpected, really unexpected." Xie Shuting murmured with a smile on her lips, "Here, let's have a drink with tea instead of wine."

She raised her glass to clink it with Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang also smiled, raised his own glass, and clinked a glass with the artistic young woman.

In the next few days, Zhang Yangzhen never mentioned anything serious. He just took in the sights of Huangling and walked around. During this period, he naturally took the time to get acquainted with Xie Shuting.

If you have something to do, go to Xie Shuting to have a meal, chat, and occasionally drink some low-alcohol wine.

Wearing the vest of being a book lover, Zhang Yang can be regarded as a first-come-first-served person, and the two of them can be called ordinary friends who met by chance.

This evening

"Hey, why haven't you asked me to go out these days? Are you really planning to travel here?" Xie Shuting asked curiously.

It's rare to see Zhang Yang smoking. The face in the smoke is hazy and unreal.

"What's the use of saying it?" Zhang Yang smiled, "Then I'll ask you again, do you want to go?"

"I won't go." Xie Shuting shook her head.

"Isn't this the end? It's useless to ask." Zhang Yang didn't say anything, and his expression seemed calm. In fact, he scolded Xie Shuting in his heart.

This kind of woman should really be chased and thrown away a hundred times.

"Sneeze." Xie Shuting sneezed suddenly, wrapped up her coat, and muttered a little strangely for a while, "By the way, I have a few die-hard book friends coming to see me in the evening, and we are going to Wuyuan County. Juju, are you going?"

"You go ahead, I still have something to do with the company." Zhang Yang said casually. "Send me your address."

Staying here in Huangling every day really tests your patience. No matter how good the scenic spot is, if you stay in it for a long time, you have to adjust it.

"Okay, I'll go over first and send you the address when I get there." Xie Shuting stood up and walked into the inn with a swaying figure.

Zhang Yang looked up at Xie Shuting's back.

I don't know if it's an illusion. Looking at Xie Shuting these days, with his intuition as a man, he always feels that something is wrong.

But I couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.

Maybe it's the hint of charm she occasionally shows, or maybe it's the swaying back... Also, these days, she doesn't seem to be wearing the same outfit in the morning or afternoon?

"Tsk, you don't want to go out, but you do all these crooked things..." Zhang Yang said to himself.

···

Wuyuan County, outside an open-air tavern.

As soon as Xie Shuting arrived, several men and women sitting under the canopy raised their hands to signal.

"Sister Xiaoran."

Yes, her fans basically like to call her by her pen name.

The few people in front of me can be considered her die-hard book fans. They have been following her for some years. They help organize many offline activities. They can be said to be true close friends.

"Are you here early?" Xie Shuting smiled and sat down.

"I just came here not long ago. I just finished climbing Huangshan Mountain a few days ago. I thought that Sister Xiao Ran, you seemed to be in Wuyuan, so I came all the way." Huanhuan, Xie Shuting's number one female fan, pushed a glass of wine, "How are you preparing the new book? Already? Sister."

"It's not bad yet. You know I'm always slow." Xie Shuting said with a smile.

"That's why we only produce high-quality products." Several people said in unison.

In the evening, Hongchen Inn was playing in the tavern:

Hongchen Inn wind is like a knife

Heavy rain strikes fate

·

A few people were drinking wine, and a group of long-time friends were chatting. The atmosphere was soothing and relaxing...

"Sister Xiao Ran, I'm so envious of your free life. You open a Hongchen Inn, sit and watch the fireworks in the world, and do what you like." Huanhuan held her chin, listened to the song, and suddenly seemed a little bit Once you get into an emotion, you can't get out.

"Forget it, turning your hobby into work may not be comfortable. Also, you will get tired of guarding an inn with no business and watching the people coming and going in front of the door every day." Xie Shuting smiled softly, coldly. There is an indescribable temperament on his face.

"But, speaking of which, I met a very special person recently."

"Are you excited? Sister Xiaoran?" Several people joked and looked at each other and said.

"Don't make fun of me." Xie Shuting held her forehead and smiled, "This is the situation..."

She roughly explained the cause and effect.

"So, do you believe that there are characters in this world who come from novels to reality?"

"Protagonist's face? Real or fake?"

"Is it really like what you said, Sister Xiao Ran? The male protagonist who walked out of a novel?"

Several people looked at each other, a little unsure and disbelieving. However, the person in front of them was a writer and a master. Could her vision and judgment be the same as theirs?

If she said yes, that would definitely be it.

"I don't believe it! Sister Xiaoran, what you mean is that we probably just think that you are handsome, but reality is not a novel after all. How can such a person exist?" Several boys wearing jackets, advocating freedom and having asshole personalities shook their heads one after another. The tone was often unbelieving.

"If you don't believe it, he should be here tonight. Won't you know when we meet him?" Xie Shuting did not argue, but just drank lightly and said.

"Oh, the male protagonist in the novel can be a hero and save the beauties, does he dare?" The boys chuckled, "Otherwise, if you don't have any objections, Sister Xiaoran, we will put on a play later, try out the shades and see. Does he have the qualities to become a male protagonist?"

A hero saving a beauty is indeed a vulgar plot, but it is the most basic quality that any male protagonist should possess.

If you don’t even have the most basic courage, how can you be the male protagonist? A bear hero, right?

"Stop messing around." Xie Shuting smiled and shook her head. The eyes of several die-hard female book fans were moved, "Sister Xiao Ran, let's try the one you mentioned as far as we can to see if it's really like that... To be honest, we haven't seen it in reality. He’s a boy who looks like the hero of a novel.”

Around him, several die-hard book friends tried to persuade him.

Xie Shuting's heart was inexplicably moved, and in the end, she had no choice but to nod lightly and without trace.

"Well, let us boys sit aside and pretend to be drunk later to tease you and see how he reacts." Several tall boys said with interest in their eyes.

After a while, five boys sat aside.

There were only a few girls left at the table.

Xie Shuting looked at her phone and realized that Zhang Yang had just texted him back not long ago, saying that she was on the way.

"Should be arriving soon."

"Haha, I'm really looking forward to seeing the hero's face in Sister Xiaoran's eyes. Why are you still a little excited for no reason?" Several girls whispered among themselves.

Just listen to the other qualities of the male protagonist.

But there is one thing that Xie Shuting said that they are deeply convinced of, that is, this man is absolutely handsome.

"We're here." After a while, Xie Shuting raised her head and waved from a distance.

Several girls at the table looked over, and then, several little girls all let out an exclamation.

"Fuck."

What did they see?

In the night, a tall figure stepped out of the car. The figure stepped closer. With thin lips and a straight nose, and a tall figure with a jade tree facing the wind, he looked like a male protagonist who had stepped into reality.

It can be applied to all the male protagonists of all youth literature on the market.

How could they be? On such a night, they were in Wuyuan, drinking wine and listening to the song "Red Dust Inn", and then they met such a boy who had a lifelong misunderstanding.

Vaguely, they seemed to hear the male companions at the next table snorting unconvincedly.

"Sorry, I just finished my work." Zhang Yang went straight to Xie Shuting's table and sat down, "Are you all fans of Su Xiaoran? By coincidence, I am too."

"Hello, you're such a handsome guy, come on, what's your drink?"

"I heard that you traveled thousands of miles just to invite Sister Xiaoran to come out? Sister Xiaoran, just give me some face. Go out to relax and change your mood. Maybe you will get inspiration."

Several female book fans stood by and kept helping to talk.

Xie Shuting shook her head and laughed while listening, "In normal times, this would definitely help, but I really can't be distracted."

"It's okay, I understand." Zhang Yang smiled, said nothing, and took the wine glass from the side.

Of course, his heart is not as calm as he appears on the surface. He seems to be calm, but in fact he is pretending. He is more anxious than anyone else, but the more times like this, the less he can show it.

Several female book fans looked at each other with some unbearable expressions in their eyes.

They really didn't know how Xie Shuting was willing to refuse such a small request from such a boy.

Amidst the sound of music, a glass of wine is poured into the stomach.

Several girls gathered around Zhang Yang, asking curious questions.

Zhang Yang naturally made up a set of reasons to completely solidify his character.

After three rounds of drinking, a tall boy suddenly stood up on the table behind him. His tone was a bit drunk, and he came over holding a glass.

"Beauty, I noticed you just now. I want to toast you and invite you to sit here."

"I won't go." The female book lover named Huanhuan flatly refused.

"Don't be so disrespectful, right? Beauty?!" The boy's tone increased and his tone was drawn out, but his hand quietly placed on Huanhuan's shoulder.

"You bastard!" Huanhuan yelled angrily, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and poured it all into the boy's face.

"F*ck!" The boy wiped his face and cursed angrily.

At the table nearby, several boys stood up and gathered around the table.

"What do you mean? If you don't go, you won't go. What do you mean by taking action?"

"I want to ask, what do you mean by using your hands and feet?!" Huanhuan stood up without showing any signs of weakness, "Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

"Haha, how can a few girls get the confidence to lead a silent boy?" several boys laughed.

Zhang Yang felt a little speechless while drinking.

is not it!

Could he really encounter such a bloody thing?

"Brothers, peace is the most important thing. Just talk openly. There is no need to be so angry." Zhang Yang said calmly. "Girls may have a bit of a temper, please bear with me."

"Excuse me, how can you just say please forgive me?" The leading boy sneered, "Who are you? Can you make the decision for them, or stand up for them?"

Zhang Yang held up his wine glass and remained silent.

Get ahead? What's the point? He doesn't even know them, okay?

As he remained silent, the boys in front of him looked at each other, with triumphant smiles in their eyes. The girls at the table looked at each other, a little disappointed.

"Sure enough...can the male protagonist in the novel only exist in imagination?" Xie Shuting looked at this scene with a sad look in her eyes.

On the side, one of the boys suddenly stretched out a hand and reached directly to Xie Shuting's shoulder.

"I think you are the most beautiful. Come on, have a drink with your buddies. Even if it's too late, don't talk to this coward next to you..."

"Brother, why do you always move your hands and feet?" Zhang Yang blocked it slightly.

"Why, your pride is causing trouble and you deliberately want to go against us?" The boy sneered, "You have thought about it!"

"Why don't you go out and say it, don't scare the girls." Zhang Yang looked at the girls and finally stood up.

"Go out, right? Okay, brothers, let's go out and talk." A few boys suddenly became excited, shouting and shouting, and a few pointed to the dark alley in the distance.

"Sure." Zhang Yang put down his wine glass, nodded and stood up.

After a while, the group left completely.

"Sister Xiao Ran, you are already quite good. After all, you still stood up in the end. Facing several boys, it is quite good to have such courage." Several girls praised her.

"Then let's go over and take a look. It seems to me that they are pretending to be real. Don't really break people." Xie Shuting nodded and stood up.

Several female book fans also stood up one after another.
