La pluie printanière est comme du vin, les saules comme de la fumée

Chapitre 113

Although Qingyun's "Longing" is ranked first, her "Chasing Dreams" is ranked second, which is not much different from the first place.

In the past, whenever Miss Qingyun released a new book, she was always able to far surpass the second place with an astonishing number of sales figures.

And this time...

Qingyun chuckled. "It seems we've met our match this time." She turned to Ziyi beside her and said, "Ziyi, let's go to the teahouse and hear everyone's opinions on the book."

Zi Yi nodded. She would become very excited when she encountered a worthy opponent, radiating an inner and outer glow. Zi Yi smiled faintly and followed.

Volume Two: Fate Destined to Leave the Palace, A Happy Marriage Arrives – True or False Qingyun 4

After arriving at the teahouse, Qingyun and Ziyi casually found a place to sit down.

As soon as I sat down, a waiter immediately served me two cups of iced tea.

An old man with a white beard sat in the center of the teahouse, stroking his beard with his hand. His eyes were bright and piercing as he spoke eloquently, and the people around him listened with great interest.

"Actually... 'Longing' and 'Chasing Dreams' were not written by the same person. Aside from the writing style and the immaturity of the writing, we can still tell that they are written by two different people. In the past, the back of Miss Qingyun's books would be printed with the Zhiyun Pavilion logo. As we all know, Zhiyun Pavilion has always been involved in the production of Miss Qingyun's books, and the Zhiyun Pavilion logo is unique and has undergone special processing, making it difficult to imitate. Moreover, there is no logo on the back of 'Chasing Dreams.' Therefore, it can be seen that 'Longing' was actually written by Miss Qingyun."

Upon hearing this, everyone flipped to the back of the book and saw that it was indeed the case. They couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh—no wonder!"

"This fake Qingyun is really despicable! She actually used Qingyun's reputation to jump to second place on the rankings. How despicable!"

"That's right! No wonder I felt something was off when I first read 'Chasing Dreams,' the writing style suddenly seemed so much worse. Turns out it's not the same book!"

"As expected, Miss Qingyun is still unmatched!"

The crowd began to discuss it again.

Qingyun took a sip of iced tea and continued listening. Her expression was calm and natural.

The white-bearded old man stroked his beard, shook his head, and said, "That's not quite right! Although this fake Miss Qingyun used despicable means, it's undeniable that she has a completely new writing style. Although her writing is immature, it will naturally improve with a few more years of practice. Wasn't that how Miss Qingyun developed back then?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The white-bearded old man smiled with satisfaction and spoke again, "Let's put aside the real and fake Qingyun for now and discuss the contents of these two books."

"Hmm... Actually, I think 'Chasing Dreams' is a good book. At least the stories in it are very realistic, probably based on the author's own experiences. The infatuation with the person you admire and the girlish charm are so vivid that it makes you feel like you're right there. Besides, how can you write a touching story without firsthand experience?"

"Yes. However, Miss Qingyun's writing style continues. No matter when you read it, it always leaves a faint feeling in your heart and brings peace to your mind. The life described in 'Acacia' is truly something that scholars and laymen yearn for, but once you are bound by worldly ties, it would be difficult to live such a life."

“Oh, right! Did you notice the red bean bracelet mentioned in ‘Acacia’?” A little girl quickly flipped through the book and found the description of the red bean bracelet. “It’s written so beautifully here. Red beans represent longing. If I could get the red bean bracelet of my beloved, I would be willing to die.”

A portly middle-aged man stood up, nodded, and said, "Red bean bracelet, what a wonderful meaning! I believe that soon, a red bean craze will sweep the market..."

"Haha, you fifth brother really have a business mind. You always think of this!"

"..."

At this moment, Qingyun got up and quietly left the teahouse with Ziyi.

************************************************************* Ahem, did someone really work hard to type these words?

Why is the click-through rate so high?

Why are there so few people casting their votes for the ring?

Um... if everyone who watches could cast a vote for Dan Ying, then there would be a lot of votes...

In that case... someone will have one more chapter tomorrow (*^__^*) hehe...

At this moment, Qingyun got up and quietly left the teahouse with Ziyi.

Why aren't you listening?

Qingyun smiled. "I've gotten what I wanted. Everyone feels the same way. It seems a new star is about to emerge in this book market."

The woman in purple raised an eyebrow. "Young master, aren't you afraid that the fake Qingyun will steal your spotlight?"

"Heh, I'm not afraid. If I'm the only one holding this book market together, then the day I can no longer write, the Fengxi book market will be ruined. It's certainly good to have rising stars, and one should also have a broad vision. Just like that person..." Qingyun blinked, her eyes filled with a faint smile and sweet affection. "Besides—"

Suddenly, Qingyun's eyes flashed with dazzling light.

"My glory, Qingyun, is not so easily stolen!"

At this moment, Qingyun, dressed in plain clothes, appeared to possess an innate nobility that made people want to bow down in submission.

Zi Yi squinted at the dazzling red sun in the sky.

For some reason, she felt that Qingyun in front of her was more dazzling than the red sun.

About half an hour later, Qingyun and Ziyi finally found Liuji Lane after navigating through a maze of alleys.

The environment inside Liuji Lane is very quiet, a world completely different from the bustling streets outside. The houses in Liuji Lane are simple and unpretentious, especially the second house, which gives people a sense of secluded tranquility.

"Tsk tsk!" Qingyun couldn't help but agree, "It seems this person is no ordinary person either."

The woman in purple chuckled softly, "Perhaps!"

Qingyun shrugged, pursed her lips, and was about to knock when she suddenly realized the door was open. She exchanged a surprised glance with Ziyi, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Let's just go in!"
