Chapter 222 - 221: Only I have it in the whole Wucheng

“Stop beating around the bush, how did you find out?!” Shouhao pulled him aside into a corner and pressed for an answer.

Pang Hao looked around, sneakily pulled out his phone, and after flipping to a certain page, showed it to Shouhao.

“The novel already says ‘the impossible always happens when you least expect it.’ This is the end of the first volume, isn’t this an obvious hint that the female protagonist is going to have a love interest!”

“So… what does this have to do with Brother Mian?”

“I told you long ago that the heroine of this book is a lot like Brother Mian. So, why can’t Brother Mian and Director Qi develop something? Plus, you have no idea how Director Qi protected Brother Mian when something happened at my home, super manly!”

The more Shouhao listened, the more curious he became, “Is it that book ‘Her Secret’ again?”

“Mhm-hmm.” Pang Hao put away his phone: “It goes on sale tonight, don’t call me about homework anymore, I need to stay by the computer to buy the book!”

Shouhao curled his lips, “People who don’t know better would think you’re so studious, but we’re both slackers…”

He stopped mid-sentence, then laughed, “Thanks to Brother Mian, we’re not slackers anymore. I haven’t gotten used to the new status yet, my bad.”

Pang Hao beamed with pride, straightening his posture, “Hurry up and write down the website! We’ll grab it together when the time comes, Brother Mian will definitely love this book!”

“No way, is it really that popular?”

“Absolutely!”

——

The next day during Chinese class.

The fifty-year-old female teacher, Du Huiqing, after finishing her lesson, added a few more words.

“Ya Qing’s new book has been published, and I suggest you all read it as extracurricular material. Try to learn from the aspirational spirit and positive energy between the lines, instead of being down all the time…”

Ya Qing’s works weren’t as orthodox as traditional literature, and even leaned towards the style of online novels. Yet, her writing mysteriously held a sort of magic, was captivating, and contained a strong spiritual core, which led many teachers to recommend her books to their students.

As she said this, the classroom filled with sighs and became even more disheartened.

“Teacher, it went on sale last night at eight, and it sold out in five seconds as soon as it was online.”

“It’s not that we didn’t want to buy it, it’s that we couldn’t even if we had the money!”

Du Huiqing was taken aback, “Then, does anyone in our class have a copy?”

The class looked around.

Indeed, there was one.

Bai Fangfei raised her hand, holding a perfectly preserved book with a simple cover, and stood up: “Teacher, I have a copy here. But I didn’t buy it online, I got it through internal channels.”

As soon as she spoke, she immediately attracted the attention of the whole class.

Even Lu Mian at the back of the classroom lifted his eyes for a moment, his gaze playful.

Bai Fangfei smiled graciously, “I’ve finished reading it already, everyone can take turns borrowing it, just don’t damage it.”

The classmates all gave her thumbs up.@@novelbin@@

“Class President, you’re so awesome! Thumbs up for you!”

“We were fighting like mad to get it, and you managed to get an internal copy, respect!”

“Class President, can you still get more internal copies? We would like to buy them too…”

Bai Fangfei shook her head regretfully, “No more. It’s really hard to get, I guess in the whole of Wucheng, I might be the only one who has it…”

While everyone admired Bai Fangfei’s awesome move, some were also disappointed.

They could only console themselves: Having one to read is better than none.

Pang Hao and Shouhao hung their heads, seemingly down and sulking.

Lu Mian watched their retreating figures leisurely and poked them with his pen cap, they turned around.

Lu Mian smiled, “Really want to read it, huh?”

The two nodded weakly, then shook their heads.

“Brother Mian, don’t worry. It’s the same online, we won’t succumb to Bai Fangfei!”

“Right! I buy it for collecting, who cares about her copy!”

Lu Mian let out a light chuckle, it was unclear what rivalry they were referring to. Twirling his pen effortlessly, he leaned back in his chair and said leisurely.

“I heard that this weekend, Ya Qing is having a signing event…”

The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
