It's not the same.
I opened the chat box of a familiar contact on my phone and slowly typed.
"Didn't you sleep well yesterday? Oh, by the way, my book signing event is starting soon. Will you accompany me?"
The information had just been sent out for a few seconds when a phone call came in. But the person on the other end started talking about something else. "Is there anywhere on your body that doesn't feel well?"
I was stunned for a few seconds.
The blush extended from my neck to my ears.
"Hey!?"
I faintly heard laughter coming from the other end of the phone.
"Okay, I'm not sleepy. I've accompanied you to every signing event, otherwise how do you think I found you."
Sure enough, this man had ulterior motives.
I lowered my head, constantly kicking the empty ground and fidgeting.
"Now that our roles have changed, will you stand by my side?"
"Okay, I will be a good bodyguard."
The day of the book signing event.
I wore the formal dress that I only wear on important occasions.
Luo Ming was wearing a neat suit and his glasses.
It really feels like having bodyguards.
I didn't expect the book fans who came to the scene today to be so enthusiastic.
They lined up in a long queue, holding my book to have me sign it.
Luo Ming standing in the field is already awkward enough.
Now he's standing next to me.
The first question everyone asks is, "Who is he, Madam?"
I also joked.
"Personal bodyguard."
Luo Ming didn't say anything, just helped me pick up books and gifts.
An hour has passed, but the end of the line is still not in sight.
I've never written so many characters for so long, it feels great.
Suddenly, he stood up, made a pause gesture, and then shouted loudly.
"Let her rest for half an hour before continuing. The book fans are also very obedient, some of them sit directly on the ground and wait. I smiled and looked at Luo Ming."
He came forward and handed me a glass of water.
His hand gently held mine, pinched and twisted.
It felt as familiar as being at home.
I heard someone scream. I looked up and saw the person who had just sat down stand up, and the person who had been standing move forward. I had just taken off my mask and had a sip of water.
They turned around and looked at them blankly.
Click.
"Ah ah ah ah ah, Madam is so cute!!!"
The voices were clamorous.
Luo Ming quickly embraced me and shielded me.
I quickly welded the removed mask onto my face.
But it's too late.
It's over... the pseudonym I've been hiding for years is exposed.
I forced myself to sign the book at the back.
Then Luo Ming hurriedly left the scene.
There's no need to think about what the comments section looks like.
I opened the comments section for my new book.
"Today at the book signing, I saw Madam! She's so cute!! Just like a student."
He really guessed right, I'm actually just a struggling college student.
Let's scroll down and see the highly praised comments.
"That bodyguard even touched Madam's hand! I want to touch it too..."
"I took a photo! Something fishy going on between that bodyguard and Madam (dog head)"
"I don't care, I'm already high."
"Could it be that the male lead in this book is based on that private bodyguard?!"
These funny guys are always at the forefront when it comes to gossip.
Ding dong, another comment.
This is a reply to the comment just now.
"I think you're right."
ID name: Falling Clouds.
I put down my phone and looked at Luo Ming next to me.
"What are you doing?!" He became more confident instead.
"Isn't it? My Madam. I really can't do anything about him."
