What are you talking about? Do I need to be pressed against someone's neck?
I thought my daughter was only affectionate with me and had enough love that she wouldn't care for other men.
I didn't expect her to be so bold as to let a stranger she just met hold her.
Zhan Beijue's heart felt heavy: "Zhan Jingge, come down."
"Who told you it was okay to let strangers hold you, to whisper secrets with strangers? Isn't that dangerous? Did Daddy teach you all those things for nothing?"
Daddy is jealous.
Ge'er quickly jumped down from Xu Yanchuan's arms and grabbed his hand, leaning against the car door.
"I was just kidding with him, Daddy, don't be angry. You'll always be my favorite."
"..."
Rui Rui also got out of the car. .oΓg
His attention wasn't on the art exhibition but on the adjacent B hall.
A large pink banner was hung at the entrance, and many flowers were placed.
It clearly read: "Miss Ugly Rabbit and Mr. Tiger" Comic Signing Pre-sale Event.
But why were there only a few people standing sparsely at the entrance? It didn't look like a pre-sale event was about to start.
Ge'er pulled Zhan Beijue into the exhibition hall first, while Rui Rui pretended not to know and asked Xu Yanchuan.
"Uncle, what's next door? I see it says 'pre-sale event.' What does a pre-sale event mean?"
Xu Yanchuan helped organize the art exhibition and had been interacting with the pre-sale event staff frequently.
"It's an offline signing pre-sale for a comic book, where the author personally attends to sign autographs for fans who like the book, and it's a pre-sale."
"Are you interested in comics?"
"The name sounds quite interesting. Can you take me to see it?"
Xu Yanchuan majored in directing in college and studied abroad for a few years after graduation.
Upon returning, he aspired to be a professional film director, making good films like Wong Kar-wai and Zhang Yimou.
Therefore, he was quite interested in art appreciation, comics, novels, and other such things.
However, he was only interested in things of high taste.
Miss Ugly Rabbit and Mr. Tiger?
Just by hearing the name, he knew the author had no culture and was just relying on imagination to trick underage girls out of their money.
He didn't expect Zhan Beijue's son to be attracted to such things.
It just goes to show how childish the public base is.
"They have too many fans over there, and they're all just ignorant teenage girls. I was afraid they'd chatter and disturb our art exhibition, so I asked them to queue outside."
"If you're really interested in this comic, I can help you buy a copy online when it's officially released."
"But let's make it clear in advance, don't let your daddy see it. Judging by the name, it's a romance comic, not suitable for children. If your daddy sees it, you'll be lectured."
Xu Yanchuan eagerly tried to solve Rui Rui's problems, but Rui Rui only heard another meaning.
What? His mother was being blocked from entering because of too many fans?
And they were afraid of disturbing their art exhibition?
He thought they were friends, but this guy turned out to be an arrogant enemy!
Rui Rui glared at him angrily: "Did you buy or rent the venue for your art exhibition?"
Xu Yanchuan didn't understand why he suddenly asked that.
But he answered frankly: "We rented it. Beibei hasn't decided where to set up her studio yet, so it's just a temporary event, of course, we rented it."
"And look at the name, 'Arts Center.' If they didn't sell it, it must be rented."
Rui Rui caught the loophole in his words.
"Since you rented it, others are also renting it. If you're afraid of disturbance, you should stagger the times. Why are you blocking other people's fans?"
"???"
"If others feel that you are disturbing them and block your people, won't everyone become resentful and things will fall into chaos?"
This little fellow was actually feeling wronged for them and standing up for justice on their behalf.
Xu Yanchuan chuckled: "Their event is indeed quite noisy. I negotiated with their staff, and they agreed."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't do as I said. Little friend, don't misunderstand me as a bad guy; I'm not that overbearing."
Rui Rui already had a bad impression of him and was convinced he was a bad guy.
He snorted in dissatisfaction and asked again.
"What about the author then? If she's queuing outside, where will she sign? Outside?"
"Signing events should naturally be in the open. It's normal to sign outside."
He was surprised that such a young child was so interested in signing events and squatted down to ask.
"What's wrong? Do you want to be a writer when you grow up?"
In the heat of June or July, by nine in the morning, the sun was already scorching.
If there were many fans, wouldn't Mommy have to sign autographs under the hot sun for a long time?
Rui Rui felt heartbroken.
"That's right, I want to be a writer when I grow up, so I need to see how that author signs autographs. Hurry up and go inside, don't worry about me."
There were only the two of them outside, and Xu Yanchuan quickly stopped him.
"That won't do, little friend. What if you get lost by yourself?"
Who asked you to meddle.
If you hadn't meddled, would I need to go outside?
Rui Rui ignored him and ran outside.
As expected, in the courtyard of the Arts Center, at the entrance of Hall B, there were four neat lines of colorful girls.
In front of them, a red plastic canopy was set up, and under the canopy, the person diligently writing was none other than Mommy.
How interesting.
They were dressed in fine clothes, acting all proper in the exhibition hall, yet they pushed Mommy to this spot to sign autographs under the sun!
Xu Yanchuan thought Rui Rui would ignorantly rush over and disrupt the event.
However, Rui Rui took a look from afar and turned back.
Seeing his unhappiness, Xu Yanchuan said, "If you want an autograph, I can go and get one for you."
"No need." He coldly walked back into the exhibition hall.
In the center of the exhibition hall, Gong Beibei was surrounded by people, proudly and confidently introducing her works as she walked.
Looking at her, and then thinking of Mommy, Rui Rui quietly walked to the restroom.
Soon, a gasp came from the people admiring the exhibition: "Hey, why did the power go out?"
Rui Rui emerged from the restroom, and the exhibition hall was plunged into darkness. Gong Beibei anxiously clutched her skirt and walked towards the entrance, her smile finally gone.
He clapped his hands, feeling pleased, and prepared to reunite with his sister and Daddy, but his collar was suddenly grabbed.
Xu Yanchuan squatted down and looked at him sternly: "Little friend, destroying someone's art exhibition is not something a good person would do."
He saw it?
So be it. It doesn't matter if he saw it.
Rui Rui retorted indifferently: "And what about you? Destroying someone's signing event is also not something a good person would do."
"...Don't tell me you know the author of the signing event? Otherwise, you wouldn't keep mentioning her."
"Whether I know her or not is none of your business. Mind your own business."
Daddy was looking for him with his sister, and his gaze immediately fell on them. After speaking, Rui Rui quickly wriggled out of his grasp.
Xu Yanchuan was now thoroughly curious about the signing event outside.
Since Zhan Beijue knew the author outside, why did he only come to Gong Beibei's side and not go to see the other event?
His son seemed to be full of anger and strongly disliked Gong Beibei.
What had Gong Beibei done to offend him?
