118 HE DID NOT LIKE HER (1/2)

When Hu Lei arrived at the Maven Resort, the place was already busting with activity. Though the event was relatively small, it made the place look alive. The last time she had been there, there had hardly been anyone in the entire property.

The actual meet was held in a large ballroom. At first, Hu Lei had thought that there would be queues, and she would have to stand for a long time. She was already feeling a little tired, and her shoes were not the best for strenuous activities.

Luckily, the event was quite organised. Each of the invited authors had a round table, and there were attendants regulating movement. Moreover, there was a waiting area with simple refreshments for the guests.

When the fans came in, they would provide the details on the authors that they would like to meet. The attendants would ensure that the traffic of guests flowed smoothly and without favouritism. Hu Lei had come primarily to see Carefree Dreams. However, how could she squander an opportunity like this?

Of course, she understood that she would have countless opportunities to meet with these people in the future if she wished. However, they would consider her to be a peer, not a real fan. Therefore, she decided to meet a couple of other authors.

She did not have to wait for long before a chance came up. An opening appeared almost immediately at a certain author's table. When she approached the table, she felt her lips twitch as she looked at him. The author was a super muscled man with a hard face.

It was not like she had anything against his appearance. It was just that he crushed her assumptions too thoroughly. His work was in the slice of life genre with light-hearted high school girl characters. Moreover, his penname was Light Butterfly.

Still, Hu Lei's constitution was very strong. So, she didn't behave abnormally. She sat down at the table and listened as the other people excitedly asked questions. She did not have anything to ask. She quietly listened and felt very satisfied.

She decided that she would participate in one of these things as soon as an opportunity came up. It looked refreshing when people who were interested in books talked. Also, she felt it would be fun to share a few secrets about her characters. After all, everything could not be written down.

Since Hu Lei had begun writing, she had been antisocial. There were limitations because she was never in the country. Also, she did not use social media accounts. With her lifestyle, she did not feel like it was appropriate to be involved in such matters.

”Miss, do you have a question?” the author turned to her.

All the people looked at her. It seemed like she was the only one who had not talked.

She felt a little awkward because she had been zoning out.

”No, I just wanted to meet you. I am really looking forward to the upcoming chapters.” She smiled brightly.

Her smile seemed to blind the entire table.

”You look exactly like ChuChu.” One of the girls at the table suddenly said.

”She really does. From the yellow eyes to the green dress.” A male fan added.

”It is obviously a costume with a classy interpretation.” A girl said with a knowing nod.
