Chapter 164 Water Magic Research, Book Signing Party

Chapter 164 Water Magic Research, Book Signing Party
Naturally, Li Yuan would not agree to Bai Weixi's request to follow him to the on-site book signing, but he could not refuse it explicitly. He had to find a suitable reason.

"Xiao Bai, my uncle and aunt will go back to their hometown tomorrow. Aren't you going to see them off?"

Bai Weixi pursed her lips and chuckled: "No need, this is the car you bought, they can just drive it home."

"Hehe, hubby, my dad has been driving the Mercedes-Benz you bought these days. Not to mention how happy he is. He almost praises you so much that he wishes he could sell me, his biological daughter, so that I can stay where he is right now. You get married."

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat. What kind of arrogance is this? We just got together and now you want to marry me?
Marriage is the tomb of love. I will never get married in this life. It is okay to hold a wedding secretly, but it is impossible to get a certificate.

You can have many weddings, but you can only get one marriage certificate.

He is a good, law-abiding citizen.

"Fortunately, I am just a freshman and there are still four years left until I graduate from college. If I continue to study as a graduate student, even if I am forced to get married, it will not be a big problem." Li Yuan muttered in his heart.

His mind moved and he thought of another excuse.

"Xiao Bai, my uncle and aunt are going back to their hometown. You can go back with them to buy some more things. Specialties from the magic city, such as clothes and shoes, please be respectful and filial. It will not be easy for them to raise you."

Bai Weixi chuckled, rolled her eyes at Li Yuan, and hummed: "You don't need to tell me, I have bought all the things you have been on a business trip for the past few days."

"Hehe, hubby, I swiped your bank card."

Li Yuan really didn't pay attention to the bank card reminder text message. The bank card he gave Bai Weixi had a monthly limit of 5 yuan. As long as he didn't buy luxury goods, it was enough and he could stop it at any time.

Li Yuan smiled and didn't bother to make any more excuses. Bai Weixi just knew it. Anyway, one more person wasn't much, so he didn't care.

Mainly because of Jiang Zhiyu's side, it's not easy to explain. Xiaoyu'er came back from the imperial capital tonight.

"Husband, Zixia said she is also in the Magic City. Where do you live? I want to meet her."

Bai Weixi looked at Li Yuan expectantly. She had already taken him to meet her parents. As her future daughter-in-law, she should also meet Li Yuan's family.

For some reason, there was always a faint worry in her heart. If it were Li Yuan before, he would definitely tell her that her sister had also transferred to Shanghai to go to school.

But since the end of the college entrance examination and Park's confession, Li Yuan has not taken the initiative to tell her many things.

Even the usual chats and contacts were initiated by her.

In the past two nights, she often chatted with Li Zixia, just to get closer to her.

Li Yuan already knew that Li Zixia and Bai Weixi were chatting two days ago, and the chat was quite lively.

Although he doesn't know, what can a college student and a high school student have to talk about? Is there no generation gap?
In his heart, he thought that Li Zixia, a silly little girl, had already told Bai Weixi her address, school, etc., but he didn't expect that she was quite strict, which surprised him.

Now, Xia Zhijin often lives in Jinxiu Villa and accompanies Li Zixia. If Bai Weixi goes there and the two girls meet, I don't dare to imagine the scene.
The sweet and obedient treasure girl will probably be very, very sad.

"Li Zixia lives in Jinxiu Villa, not far from Jade Mansion. I will take you to see it when I have time." Li Yuan replied calmly, and thought of a way in his heart.

"I'll take you to see Zixia first tomorrow."

Bai Weixi felt happy, hugged Li Yuan's arm, and nodded quickly: "Really? That's great. I haven't met Zixia yet. She must be very cute."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "You will know when you meet each other."

Bai Weixi looked at Li Yuan shyly and asked, "Hehe, hubby, when will my uncle and aunt come back?"

Li Yuan pretended not to understand and asked: "I don't know, why do you ask?"

Bai Weixi held Li Yuan's arm and said coquettishly: "I just want to ask."

"I'm afraid my uncle and aunt won't like me."

"By the way, hubby, what are your uncle and aunt's hobbies? What do you like to eat?"

Li Yuan chuckled: "Does hobbies and making money count?"

Bai Weixi was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes at Li Yuan shyly, "Humph, hubby, you are making so much money, it would be great if your uncle and aunt just enjoy the blessings."

"My family used to be very poor. My parents ran a small business in the Northeast, and it was very hard to make money."

As Li Yuan was talking, he suddenly thought that all the money his parents had worked so hard to earn in his previous life was used by him to pretend to be a rich second generation and to be Bai Weixi's licking dog, and he suddenly lost interest in continuing the conversation.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

"My parents prefer hard-working people, preferably those who can cook. You can learn more if you have nothing to do."

Li Yuan smiled and said, he knew that Bai Weixi couldn't cook, she was the only daughter in the family, and she was especially loved by Bai Tianqi and his wife.

Bai Weixi's cheeks burned slightly when she heard that Li Yuan's parents liked girls who were diligent and good at cooking. She had never cooked since she was a child.

"Well, hubby, although I didn't know how to cook before, I will definitely study hard in the future and try to make my uncle and aunt like it."

Li Yuan touched Bai Weixi's head and smiled noncommittally.

It would not be bad if Bai Weixi could really work hard to learn to cook for herself.

He has paid, and the other party has to pay too. It is best to train her to be a very obedient wife and mother. If she gives birth to twins for him in the future, it will not be in vain to renew the relationship with her...

Otherwise, it would be better to take first blood and get rid of it when you get tired of it. But that kind of behavior was a bit too scumbag, and he felt a little guilty inside.

At least, Bai Weixi has never done anything to regret him in this life...

While chatting, Yang Jinyu and Bai Tianqi had already prepared the meal.

"Xiao Li, Xi Xi, it's time to eat."

"Here we come." Li Yuan responded strangely in his heart. This was obviously a house he bought, but why did he act like a guest?
At the dining table, Bai Tianqi opened a bottle of Maotai, poured it for Li Yuan, and said with a smile: "Xiao Li, my drinking capacity is average. I have to drive back to my hometown early tomorrow morning, so I will drink less tonight."

Li Yuan was ashamed. He had drank a lot recently and felt nauseated when he saw liquor.

"Uncle Bai, I don't like drinking liquor either. I don't usually drink."

Bai Tianqi looked at Li Yuan deeply. He had already experienced Li Yuan's drinking capacity, so naturally he would not persuade him to drink.

"Okay, let's just drink whatever we want."

Yang Jinyu was also constantly picking up food for Li Yuan, "Xiao Li, it's time for you to grow and work hard day and night, so you need to eat more."

"Come, try the braised pork ribs fried by Auntie."

"Thank you Aunt Yang." Li Yuan listened to his mother-in-law's favor. When she said the words "work day and night", he always felt that she had a special meaning.

Li Yuan ate a piece of braised pork ribs made by Yang Jinyu. The taste was unexpectedly good, better than ordinary meals, with a sweet and sour taste.

Yang Jinyu asked expectantly: "Xiao Li, how does it taste?"

Li Yuan smiled and nodded: "Aunt Yang, it tastes great. It's better than what's made in star-rated restaurants."

After getting Li Yuan's approval, Yang Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, and his charming face was filled with smiles.

"By the way, Xiao Li, I heard from Xi Xi that your parents also moved to Shanghai?" Yang Jinyu suddenly asked with a hint of meaning.

Li Yuan didn't quite understand, so he nodded and explained: "They went back to their hometown to build a house. In a few days, my mother will come back to take care of my sister in school."

Yang Jinyu glanced at her daughter who was holding rice with her head down, and smiled and said: "Xi Xi has been spoiled by your uncle and me since she was a child. She is clumsy and can't speak. You should talk to her more often in front of your mother. Nice words..."

Li Yuan finally understood. It turned out that he was waiting here because he wanted to take Bai Weixi to meet his parents and gain their approval.

At this time, Li Yuan could only nod in agreement.

"Aunt Yang, Uncle Bai, don't worry, my parents are very talkative and they will definitely like Xiao Bai."

Yang Jinyu was even more satisfied, looked at Li Yuan, and said with a smile: "That's good, we just have this daughter. Your Uncle Bai has been a treasure to you since she was a child. If there is anything wrong, you must tolerate each other and occasionally lose your temper." , as long as you coax it..."

"Mom, stop talking." Bai Weixi's face turned red with embarrassment. This scene now felt like discussing marriage. She had obviously just fallen in love...

Yang Jinyu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore, let's eat quickly."

After drinking and eating, Li Yuan made an excuse and ran to the study to code.

……

As soon as I logged into QQ, I saw that editor Xingkong had already sent a message.

Xingkong: "Xia Hua Dada, don't forget tomorrow's book signing. Our company has invited reporters from Shanghai TV Station to interview you. I will send you the interview outline now, so you can prepare the content of the interview in advance. "

Li Yuan replied "OK", received the file, and looked at the interview outline sent by Xingkong, and he already had a rough idea.

As a positive publicity report for Yuandian Chinese website, the company has also made great efforts this time to prepare Li Yuan to be a leading figure in the new generation of young writers of online literature, so as to increase his popularity and stimulate the craze of online literature...

Li Yuan muttered to himself: "Tomorrow's interview may be on the financial news channel in Shanghai, but I have to prepare the manuscript in advance to avoid getting stuck or overturning, which will be embarrassing."

Before preparing the interview script, Li Yuan sent another message to his sister Li Zixia.

"Li Zixia, tell me what good thing you did."

"Shivering jpg, brother, what's wrong with me?"

"Who asked you to add Bai Weixi privately? She will come to Jinxiu Villa Community to find you tomorrow morning. Go and deal with her."

"Ah? Brother, isn't this good? Sister Zhijin is here too. What if they run into each other?"

"You are stupid, you won't tell your sister-in-law Zhijin in advance, find a reason to put her away, use your pig brain."

"Hmph, stinky brother, someone is helping you, but you still call them stupid."

"Come on, Li Zixia, you have to solve the trouble you caused yourself. Remember, don't screw it up for me. I will coax your sister-in-law Wei Xi to get better tomorrow. I agreed to your request last time. .”

"Hey, brother, just leave it to me. Sister, don't worry. I promise to help you coax sister-in-law Wei Xi."

"Well, that's it, I still have to code. It's not easy to make some money."

"Yeah, come on, my favorite good brother, thank you for your hard work."

After finishing the chat with Li Zixia, Li Yuan browsed QQ Space for a while. The number of messages was increasing every day. More than 100 people visited his QQ Space every day.

Zhong Tingyue and Jiang Zhiyu were both online. Xiao Yuer, who used to send him messages frequently, did not send him messages tonight either, which surprised him.

Thinking that he would see her tomorrow, Li Yuan did not take the initiative to send a message to Xiao Yu'er.

His current attitude towards Xiao Yu'er is to let things take their own course, without taking the initiative or refusing. The main reason is that he is really powerless and careless now.
Li Yuan watched for a while, casually replied to a few messages from his high school classmates and Liu Jia and others, and then began to devote himself to the great cause of coding.

This book "Fighting in the Starry Sky" has been serialized to 120 million words. According to the completion record, it must be at least more than 500 million words in length. It is still far away. According to the current speed, it will take nearly a year to write.

According to the contract between him and Wangyi Company to sell the game copyright, the book must be completed normally and the word count must be no less than 300 million.

Of course, he didn't want to become a bad guy or a eunuch, even though he is now a billionaire. Li Yuan opened the stock website and took a look. The stock price of Biguandi, which he bought a few days ago, continued to rise rapidly, and it rose by about 40% today.

In less than three days, due to the investment from the stock god, the stock he invested in Biguandi has more than doubled, with a net profit of 2000 million, and it is still rising rapidly...

Li Yuan just glanced at it and lost interest. The market value of the stock was very fictitious. He might have been a billionaire one day and a billionaire the next. The changes were so fast.

He just wants to use this shareholder style to make a small profit and withdraw from the market. This time he can make a small goal of 100 million, which is enough. He can then invest in fruit stocks. After the iPhone comes out, the stock price of fruit companies will soar.
"If you want to make a little money, it would be good to open a direct-sale fruit store." Li Yuan smiled. He didn't like this sweetness.
After getting the first pot of gold from sports betting, it is really easy to make money based on the memories of previous lives.

When the developed games are put into the market, the speed at which he spends money is hard to match the speed at which he makes money.

Just like "The Richest Tomato Man" said, money is like multiplying. It grows more and more, and more and more people are born, and there is no way to spend them all.
When you have 2008 million in cash, at the deposit interest rate, you can earn two to three million in interest alone in a year. When it's one billion, it's thirty or forty million. If you don’t find a few more girlfriends, buy luxury cars and mansions, eat big meals, and go out to have fun, you won’t be able to spend all your money.

The happiness of rich people is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In the future, new media will be highly developed. After live broadcasts such as Douyin and Kuaishou become popular, the consumer world of rich people will begin to appear in front of ordinary people.
Therefore, he was very generous to his girlfriends Zhong Tingyue, Bai Weixi, and Xia Zhijin, hoping that after returning to Shura Field, they would think of him better.

If it was really a waste of money and she didn't buy Zhong Tingyue a Porsche 911 and was reluctant to give him a gift, her mother would probably not let him enter her home at all.
Society has always been this realistic.

If you have no money, or are unwilling to spend money, why would a beautiful girl follow you? It is even less likely that she would be willing to share feelings with other girls and accept your decision.
Of course there is true love, but it is only a very small number of two-way love. Do you really want to try it?
It took about half an hour for Li Yuan to prepare the interview transcript, read it carefully from beginning to end, and nodded secretly.

In his previous life, he had written a lot of official materials like this within the system, but he had them at his fingertips, and it was much easier than writing novels.

"It's a little too polite and not impassioned and youthful enough."

"Yes, my mental age is over thirty. Although sometimes I am still very naive, such as when I first met Bai Yueguang after my rebirth, after all, I have experienced a lot and can no longer write such youthful and exciting words..."

Li Yuan took a look and saw that there were no obvious mistakes. It could only be regarded as satisfactory, so he stopped caring about it and began to code.

The number of saved manuscripts is getting less and less. Now, the new ones written every day are not enough for him to publish, and he has begun to eat up the manuscripts saved some time ago.

"Sure enough, women only affect the speed of making money. That's not wrong at all."

……

In the blink of an eye, it was already around eleven o'clock in the evening.

In the bedroom, Bai Weixi had already washed up and wore silk pajamas. After her parents fell asleep, she tiptoed to Li Yuan's study.

Hug Li Yuan from behind and rub his shoulders.

Bai Weixi said shyly and caringly: "Hubby, it's already so late, you can rest."

Li Yuan turned over and grabbed Bai Weixi, pulled her into his arms, and spoke with a smirk while playing ball.

"Why are you so impatient, just waiting to learn new postures with me?"

Bai Weixi's cheeks turned red, she lay in Li Yuan's arms, and murmured shyly: "Hubby, I haven't seen you for several days, and I just want to hug you."

Li Yuan playfully lifted Bai Weixi's chin, stared into her passionate eyes, and joked: "Do you really just want a hug? Nothing else?"

Bai Weixi hummed slightly and replied seriously: "I just want to stay with you, hold you, and chat with you. Isn't that okay?"

Li Yuan laughed, "Okay, of course. I won't write bullshit novels anymore. It's more important to do business."

If you want to have multiple girlfriends at the same time, you must have an indestructible kidney. Like a perpetual motion machine, it not only takes a long time, but also recovers quickly.

If your own land is not cultivated diligently, and it becomes deserted, others will take advantage of it, sow other people's seeds, and grow green seedlings.
Although he only had an exchange of poker skills with Xia Zhijin in the office in the afternoon, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and he had already returned to his peak condition a few hours ago.

If it weren't for his scruples, Bai Weixi's parents were still awake, and he would have been unable to bear going out.

After immersing himself in this code word, time passed so quickly that Bai Weixi couldn't hold on anymore and took the initiative to come to the study for comfort...

Bai Weixi whispered in Li Yuan's ear: "Hubby, go take a shower first."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, he hugged Bai Weixi and said with a mischievous smile: "Xiao Bai, let's study water magic together."

Bai Weixi asked doubtfully: "Hubby, what is water magic?"

Li Yuan chuckled and explained softly in Bai Weixi's ear.

In an instant, Bai Weixi's face turned crimson, and he punched Li Yuan's chest with his small fist.

"Smelly husband, you are so bad, I like you so much."

……

In the bathroom, the sound of the stream spraying from the shower was mixed with a strange popping sound, which lasted for nearly an hour. Occasionally, Bai Weixi could be heard chanting water magic spells.
"Honey, this water magic is so difficult to learn. It's hard to recite the various spells."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, just learn more and practice more. Shuixi magic is also a major category among many magic systems. It has a wide range of uses and is widely welcomed by magic lovers."

"With your IQ that can get you into 985 University, it's not that easy to learn water magic spells."

"Hmm, but water magic requires higher physical fitness."

"Xiao Bai, haven't you practiced dancing before? It's a piece of cake for you. Come on, try another way."

"Yeah, hubby, you're right, water magic is really interesting."

"Xiao Bai, this house is a bit small, and the bathroom is too small. It is not suitable for training various water-based magics. When we move to a bigger house, the effect of water-based magic will be better."

"Husband, this house is already very nice. Do you want to upgrade to a bigger house?"

"Well, I have this plan. After a while, when I make a little more money, I will buy a bigger house. Then we will go and look at it together."

"Husband, don't put so much pressure on yourself, you are already very, very good."

"What do you mean by great? I'm average at making money, but I'm pretty good at various magic research, right?"

Yang Jinyu, who was already asleep in the next bedroom, opened his eyes in confusion...

"Hey, is this the sound coming from the bathroom?"

"Who takes a shower for so long? It's almost an hour."

"Could it be Silly Girl and Xiao Li?"

"Young is good"

After listening carefully, she understood the source of the sound and spat. This time, she skipped the step of eavesdropping and got directly into bed...

Early the next morning, after another morning exercise, Li Yuan looked at the sleepy Bai Weixi, said hello to Bai Tianqi and his wife, and drove away directly.

After returning to the Jinxiu Villa community, Li Yuan returned home, preparing to change into formal clothes and get a hair style.

Today he has to be interviewed and appear on TV. He must dress handsomely and be a refined and sunny boy.

Li Yuan entered the house and found that Xia Zhijin was not at home, only Li Zixia was still sleeping in bed.

"Li Zixia, where is Sister-in-law Jin?"

Li Zixia rubbed her eyes, and when she saw it was Li Yuan, she said strangely: "Brother, didn't you tell me to go see Sister-in-law Wei Xi today?"

"I told sister-in-law Zhijin, and she got up early in the morning and left, going back to your school."

Li Yuan nodded: "How old are you? You're still sleeping in. It's already half past eight in the morning. Get up quickly and tidy up the house."

Li Zixia reluctantly snorted: "Humph, I know, you will use underage labor."

Li Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to her. This biological sister had been almost abandoned by him recently and had become much more lively.

Before coming to Magic City, he was more obedient, diligent, and cute.

After briefly washing up, Li Yuan put on an Armani suit and took the Lamborghini car keys.

"Zixia, please spend time with your sister-in-law Wei Xi today. I'm going to go do some work."

Li Zixia was wearing pajamas, looking at the well-dressed Li Yuan with sleepy eyes, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she sighed.

"Brother, when did you buy this outfit? It looks really handsome in it."

Li Yuan looked at himself in the full-length mirror and nodded with satisfaction. He asked Zhong Tingyue to pick out this outfit for him when he and Zhong Tingyue were shopping together.

Among the four girls with whom he had a close relationship, apart from the fact that he did not go shopping with Xiao Yuer, Zhong Tingyue had the best taste, and the clothes she chose looked very elegant.

"Brother, you look so handsome, are you going to date other girls again?" Li Zixia asked suspiciously.

"You already have two super beauties, sister Zhijin and sister Weixi. Do you have other sisters-in-law?"

Li Yuan smiled coquettishly, and slapped her hair hard, "Li Zixia, you are so awesome, you actually want to take care of your brother and me?"

Li Zixia stared at her flirtatious brother seriously, and sincerely advised: "Brother, you have sisters Zhijin and Weixi, which are really enough. Can you stop being so flirtatious and make me afraid to fall in love in the future?"

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, glared at her, and said seriously: "At such a young age, you actually want to fall in love? You'd better not fall in love for the rest of your life, be an old girl that no one wants, and stay with your parents all your life. "

Li Zixia nodded: "Brother, you used to be the perfect idol in my heart, but you have become a scumbag. I don't believe in love anymore. From now on, I will rely on you to support me."

"Okay, I'll raise you and turn you into a 200-pound fat pig."

Li Yuan looked at his sister's increasing weight and couldn't help but remind him:

"Li Zixia, you are a lot fatter than when you were back home. You can lose weight. I can learn from your sisters-in-law. Your figure is much better than yours."

"Brother Stinky, what do you know?" Li Zixia's face turned red, she rolled her eyes at Li Yuan and ran into the bedroom.

Li Yuan felt confused. He took his newly bought sunglasses and an LV men's bag, got off the elevator, and came to the parking lot.

Looking at this Lamborghini that had been gathering dust for several days, Li Yuan felt itchy. Compared with the BMW X6, apart from being able to test the car's shock absorption performance, there was nothing that could compare with the Lamborghini.

Just as Li Yuan was about to start the engine, he suddenly glanced at the next door, a Porsche 911 sports car, which was also quite eye-catching in the underground garage.

Looking at Zhong Tingyue's sports car, Li Yuan shook his head. He didn't know if Zhong Tingyue could think clearly and accept this reality.

The engine roared, Li Yuan wore sunglasses, drove a Lamborghini, and clocked in the windows, attracting many passers-by's glances.

Even while waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, there was a narcissistic young lady who came up and asked for her contact information.

Li Yuan took a look and saw that he was far behind Zhong Tingyue and the others. He decisively refused and ran away with a whoosh.

……

The new book signing was held in the building where the Origin Chinese website is located, and the scene was a bit grand.

By the time Li Yuan felt it, many readers were already watching.
