120 OPPORTUNITY TO STALK (1/2)
When Hu Lei finally got her turn at the Carefree Dreams table, she felt like her faith in life had been restored. So far, almost every author she had met had a name that lacked compatibility with their physical selves. She finally understood why Bo Qian had thought that she was a huge man.
Carefree Dreams was a beautiful woman. Hu Lei could not see much else, but she could not help nodding mentally at the gorgeous woman. The author had shoulder-length hair which framed her face perfectly. Her phoenix eyes and aligned nose worked together with her perfectly shaped lips to create an image worth of a thousand paintings.
Though the crowds had dwindled, there were still a number of people at her table and more waiting. This showed the popularity of the woman. Hu Lei finally felt like she had really come to an important event. She liked other authors, but Carefree Dreams held a special place in her heart.
Unfortunately, she did not have anything to say in relation to the books. As an author and a well-read person, Hu Lei was a disappointment when it came to literature discussion. She did not know how to complement with flair, talk about stylistic devices or look into the deeper meanings of books.
Actually, it could be said that she had only two modes when reading. She liked a book, or she hated it. This rule applied to every type of book, including modern web novels, classical works and surprisingly, educational materials.
Therefore, when she sat at her idol's table she just looked at her with twinkling eyes like a crazy stalker. The woman's eyes rested on her for a moment with a smile before continuing to talk about her upcoming book.
Luckily, Carefree Dreams was not like Light Butterfly. She did not insist that everyone seeing her speak to her. So, Hu Lei continued staring at her with sparkling eyes unrelentingly.
When her turn at the table was over, Hu Lei could only stand up in disappointment. She felt that she could have continued to look at her idol for a little longer. She would need to look for more opportunities to stalk, no, socialise with Carefree Dreams.
After walking a short distance from the table, she felt someone stretch their hand to touch her shoulder. She avoided the touch and turned to look at the culprit. It was her idol! If she had known, she would not have moved away. The little person in her heart cried rivulets of tears.
”You are Hu Lei, right?” The woman asked.
Hu Lei wanted to squeal a little because Carefree Dreams knew her name. However, she was still a trained tough woman, and she had her dignity to consider. She nodded with a smile. The other woman smiled back at the adorable little lady.
”Bo Qian told me to look out for you. You are apparently a super fan.” The woman teased.
”Maybe but just a little bit.” Hu Lei blushed.
”The event is almost over. Are you in a hurry? Perhaps we can talk a little more?”
Hu Lei felt that the stars were aligned in her favour. She had merely thought that she would like to socialise a little more, and everything had fallen into place. Should she start making a wish list while her luck was good?
”I am not in a hurry.” She answered quickly.
