The next day, my grandfather and my aunt returned to Yuezhou. Before leaving, my aunt told Li Xiang that "Harvest" magazine wanted to invite him to Yuezhou to attend an internal literary symposium. It was an informal meeting between the authors, and it was actually everyone who drank tea and chatted.

Li Xiang is about to start college, and the final of "Star Today" is also being prepared. He has no time to travel thousands of miles south to Yuezhou. If he is in Shengjing, it is possible, but Yuezhou? Forget it, I can only refuse.

After the publication of "Escape" attracted the attention of literary enthusiasts in a small range. This short story is still very accurate, and the author is a newcomer, which is more likely to attract attention. Li Xiang didn't know about the discussion in the literary circle because he had not entered the circle yet.

However, some media publications hope to reprint "Escape", including the national mass publication "Youth Digest".

"Youth Digest" and "Harvest" magazine are different in positioning. The former is a mass publication and the latter is a pure literary magazine with different audience ranges. The former has several times the circulation of the latter. Like Gu Qijing, Li Xiang's assistant, she has never heard of "Harvest", but has read "Youth Digest".

Now that "Youth Digest" is about to reprint "Escape", it is of course a good thing for Li Xiang. He can get another royalty fee and bring a greater impact, making his works more well-known.

When Xiang Shuying and her grandfather left, Dou Dou and Shishi cried loudly, especially Dou Dou, who usually fought with his aunt, but formed a deep friendship during the battle. When they parted, they were naturally reluctant and moved.

"Will you welcome me next time I come?" Xiang Shuying squatted in front of Dou Dou, still holding Shishi who was reluctant to leave in his arms.

"Welcome~" Dou Dou said crying.

"Do you still fight with your aunt?"

Dou Dou immediately shook his head: "I won't fight again~"

"Then are you still quarreling with your aunt?"

Dou Dou immediately shook his head: "I won't quarrel again."

"Is that aunt thin? Is it white? Is it good-looking?"

"My aunt is so thin, so white, and looks so beautiful."

"Do you still refuse to sleep with your aunt at night?"

"Hug~"

Although everything is said is good, my aunt still left, just agreed to say something next time and we must not quarrel or fight again.

The day after Xiang Shuying left, Shengjing called Li Xiang a stranger, claiming to be a staff member of Youth Digest magazine. He called Li Xiang to attend a literary symposium, which was the same as the one in "Harvest" magazine. "Harvest" was in Yuezhou and "Youth Digest" was in Shengjing, so Li Xiang participated.

The other party was very surprised to see Li Xiang so young. What’s even more surprising is that many people and others have watched this Li Xiang more or less. Recently, "Star of Today" is very popular, and Li Xiang is also very popular.

This is the first time Li Xiang has come into contact with the cultural circle. This time he invited some columnists from "Youth Digest". They all looked relatively young. Only when the symposium was about to end, an old man came in, a great writer named Bai Su.

The latest issue of "Youth Digest" invited him to write an opening sentence, which happened to be introduced to the symposium to chat with young writers. It was really a few words, and they came and left in a hurry, and the symposium ended soon.

Next, Li Xiang participated in a commercial event as a performing guest. The invitation to this event was delivered directly to Miya Entertainment, hoping to attract popularity with the popularity of "Star of Today".

The company is planning to form a group, and Su Rui and Hours have been determined to be members, so it is decided to let them participate. The other party said there is no problem, but hopes to add a more well-known star, which is the potential meaning that Su Rui and Hours are not worth enough.

The company recommended Zhao Qiran, and the other party directly named Li Xiang to participate this time.

The story is kept secret, and Li Xiang also heard a little from Zhou Ni. He agreed without saying a word. He may not care about such a business activity, but Su Rui and Hours are very needed, so he will try his best to help if he can.

The event time was actually very short, and they were less than an hour from their debut to their departure. During this period, they sang "Story" and three other songs, which were simpler than expected.

"Thank you, Li Xiang." Housing suddenly said as he left the company's car.

"What?" Li Xiang didn't understand.

Su Rui said: "Thank you for participating in this event."

Li Xiang was stunned. It seemed that everyone was smart and he could understand the matter at a glance.

The remuneration for this event is 1 million, and Li Xiang doesn't have to worry about the distribution plan. Zhou Ni had already negotiated with the company before. Because it was an event of three people, Li Xiang could not take 30% of it, but it was not evenly divided by three people.

Li Xiang finally got 200,000, and he didn't know how to divide the remaining 800,000. How much Su Rui and Hours can get depends on the contract they signed with the company.

"Don't leave tonight, drink together." Su Rui said.

This was the first time he and Hou were paid.

Li Xiang: "I want to get me drunk again!"

Having said that, Li Xiang still came tonight. He still prepared a box of beer and two bottles of liquor, as well as many packed meals on the balcony of the dormitory.

Li Xiang was shocked: "I can't drink white wine, so don't be too enthusiastic about me."

Su Rui and Houqiu both have a good alcohol content, especially Su Rui, who drinks white wine almost as much as Li Xiang drinks beer.

The bright moon is high, the stars are everywhere, the night wind is blowing, the weather is cool, and the sound of traffic seems to be coming from a very far place, which adds a bit of quietness to the surroundings.

After a few bites of wine and food, everyone started chatting.

When Li Xiang saw Su Rui wearing finger-exposed gloves at this time, he asked curiously: "You have been wearing these gloves since the first time I met you. Isn't it hot?"

Shi Shu looked at Su Rui's hand after hearing this, and he had the same question.

Li Xiang and Su Rui have lived in the same dormitory for so long. Although I haven't observed it deliberately, I have never seen him take off his gloves. It's midsummer now, so how hot it is to wear such a pair of black finger-exposed gloves.

Su Rui held the wine glass with his right hand and raised his left hand to look in front of him, as if he was looking at someone else's hand.

He drank the white wine from the wine glass and said, "We wear gloves to avoid scaring others."

Li Xiang asked: "What does it mean? My hand is injured?"

Su Rui shook his head: "Not hurt, but it's ugly."

After drinking, Su Rui spoke much more than usual under the guidance of Li Xiang.

Li Xiang: "Whose hand is not one slap and five fingers, isn't yours?"

Hours said, "I still broke my palm."

He spread his left hand and a thread ran across his palm.

Hours continued: "The older generation thinks that breaking the palm is unlucky, defeating people, and it is very fierce, and there is no seriousness in the attack."

Li Xiang thought about it, spread his right hand and said, "Look at this place."

He pointed to a small place on the index finger of his right hand and said, "Did you see a tooth mark? My sister bit her when she first developed teeth, leaving me with eternal scars. Whenever I see this, I want to hit a child."

Su Rui: "Twins? Big or small?"

"No doubt big, big naughty."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, he said to Su Rui: "I have introduced the hours and the numbers, should you show it too?"

Su Rui hesitated for a moment and took off the gloves on his left hand. He didn't feel anything different at first, but when he turned over the back of his hand and spread the palm of his hand, even though Li Xiang was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.

As Su Rui said, his hand was not injured, but was just particularly ugly. He was indeed not injured, because these cannot be considered injuries, but they were formed by the accumulation of various small scars over time, like a shriveled old tree bark, full of vicissitudes.

But looking at Su Rui's face, it is obviously still tender.

His face is 20 years old, but he has a pair of 40-year-old hands.

Li Xiang looked at these hands and could guess something without asking Su Rui’s experience, because it was recorded on these hands.
