Chapter 577 Horror Novel (1)

Jun Li received a call from Wang Ya, who said that he might not be able to come back during the weekend holiday. The school arranged make-up classes for him because math and other subjects would be more difficult in the third year of junior high school and he needed make-up classes in advance to make the transition.

Jun Li had no objection. He paid the tuition fee and gave Wang Ya another sum of living expenses. Children nowadays are under a lot of pressure and have to attend various tutoring classes. Jun Li was actually reluctant to let Wang Ya take so many classes. The child is still young and such a tight squeeze is really not conducive to his physical and mental development.

Jun Li would rather ask Wang Ya to go out for a walk, see the scenery and travel. It is good for a young girl to go out more often to broaden her horizons.

"Well... Yaya, you should study hard at school. If you feel tired, tell your uncle and I will give you a few days off."

Jun Li was still cooking. He had originally planned to make something delicious for his child when he came back, but now it seems that all the food and drinks he bought some time ago will end up in his wife's stomach.

Wang Ya said yes but didn't hang up for a long time. Jun Li waited for a while, turned off the fire, and asked patiently, "Yaya, is there anything else?"

"Um...Uncle...that..."

Wang Ya seemed a little hesitant. After a long while, she whispered, "I have a novelist I really like... He will be holding a book signing event at the Science and Technology Museum in City A in a while... Uncle, you..."

Jun Li was stunned for a moment and then reacted: "Oh... Yaya, you can't come to the make-up class, so you want your uncle to bring you a signature, right?"

"Um...can I, uncle?"

Wang Ya was a little nervous. She was afraid that Jun Li would think that she was already in the third year of junior high school but had not yet focused on preparing for the high school entrance examination, and had even had time to read novels and think about signing them.

Jun Li was silent for a moment and was about to speak when Wang Ya responded immediately: "If uncle doesn't have time, forget it! I can do without it! I will study hard, and I don't think about novels every day at school..."

Jun Li laughed and rubbed his brows with some helplessness: "How narrow-minded and feudal am I in your eyes?"

"No... I'm not afraid that my uncle will think that I'm still..."

"Yeah, but I'd rather you be happy, right?"

Jun Li scooped out the food from the pot with one hand, then he changed his hand to hold the phone and said softly, "It's rare that you like something, but if I interfere with you because of external factors, it will only discourage you."

"Because your life is not just about studying, there are many more interesting things worth exploring. Besides, Yaya is already very obedient and knows what to do without us telling her."

"So I'm not worried that you'll lose your ambition because of it. Novels are meant to be read when you're tired and bored. You're under a lot of pressure right now, so I think it's good to read a novel to relieve stress."

Jun Li thought for a moment and asked, "Who is that writer? I'll search for it later. Then you can send me the link to his book signing event. I'll check the time and buy the ticket in advance. Then I'll sign it in person and send it to you, okay?"

Wang Ya quickly refused: "No need, uncle! It's good enough that you can help me queue up to buy the autograph! I need to study hard now! Just leave the book at home! I'll read it when I finish my study!"

"Well... that's fine... if there's anything else you want to buy, I'll buy it for you later, okay?"

The two chatted for a while and Wang Ya hung up the phone as it was almost time for class. Jun Li received a message reminder from Wang Ya on his phone a while later.

He clicked it and took a quick look. The author looked to be in his early thirties. His name was He Jie and his representative work was called "Endless Reincarnation".

Jun Li did have an impression of this book, but he didn't like reading horror or mystery novels. The reason he had an impression of it was that many employees in his company seemed to be talking about this book recently.

This book was completed two months ago and the physical book was published immediately afterwards. It is worth noting that He Jie's previous works "The Abyss" and "Night Walker" received mediocre responses, but this new book "Endless Reincarnation" became a hit as soon as it was put on the shelves.

This book has not been off the trending searches until now, you can imagine how popular it is. All the book reviews are five-star praise. If it weren't for the uncontrollable popularity, Jun Li would have suspected that the book had hired internet trolls.

"Book signing event next Saturday at 2:30 p.m.... Entrance C of the Science and Technology Museum, City A."

"What next Saturday at 2 p.m.?"

Bai Ze leaned against the kitchen door and watched Jun Li holding the dishes in his hand and not putting them down, then he put his phone there and checked it. Jun Li came to his senses and put away his phone and replied softly, "Nothing, Yaya has been obsessed with a horror novel recently, she has to make up for the lessons and can't come back. The author is having a book signing event here next Saturday, so she asked me to bring her a signed copy."

"Um…"

Bai Ze thought for a moment and asked casually, "Is it the writer named He Jie?"

Jun Li was a little surprised. He thought Bai Ze didn't read novels, so he nodded in response.

"That writer is really popular recently, but he is also very questionable."

Bai Ze took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks and serve Jun Li rice. After he sat down, he looked at him and said, "Because he has written four or five books. This one called 'Endless Reincarnation' is his sixth book."

"Many people questioned whether it was written by a ghostwriter, because the writing style and story content are so different from the previous books that it doesn't seem like it was written by the same person."

Jun Li thought there was nothing to doubt, and naturally picked up a shrimp and put it in his mouth: "What is there to doubt? You also said that you have written four or five books. This sixth book must have taken a long time to write. This old writer has rich writing experience. It is normal for him to write a hit after four or five books."

"People nowadays...are too jealous..."

Jun Li picked up a quail egg for Bai Ze and smiled: "Do you believe that most of those who criticize him are from the same industry? Aren't they jealous because they can't become famous?"

"As the saying goes, when you are famous, you are prone to gossip. No one wants to see you have smooth sailing. Even if you are impeccable, they will find fault with you. This is the ugliest side of human nature."

"But this has nothing to do with us."

Jun Li took two bites of rice and glanced at Bai Ze: "Who cares if he's a ghostwriter or not? If the kid likes it, just buy it for her. I saw that the book signing will be on Saturday. We can go early and wait in line before having a candlelight dinner together outside."

"Yeah, everything is fine."

Jun Li originally wanted to say that why not just not go back at night and get a love suite to live in together, but then the phone rang at a very inopportune time.

"Hello? Zhou Ju? Why are you calling me?"

Jun Li was chewing chicken breast and couldn't understand what this sister was trying to do. Every time she called, it was always something bad.

"Um... I was doing a book signing in City A... What happened?"

Jun Li was silent for a moment, put down his chopsticks and scratched his head: "No, is He Jie so popular? Can't the eldest daughter of the Zhou family get a ticket for the autograph session??"

Zhou Ju was also helpless, and smiled bitterly: "We in City B sell tickets in advance, but they were sold out in a flash, so it's impossible to buy a ticket."

"I see that you guys in City A are still pre-selling tickets. Can you grab two for me and Luo Zhi?"

Jun Li thought this was a trivial matter, but he didn't expect that this girl also liked to read horror novels.

"Okay, I'll grab them for you when they go on sale, and we can go together then. We're planning to go next Saturday."

Jun Li agreed to Zhou Ju's request before hanging up the phone. He himself felt that He Jie was really capable.

"I really want to see what the book called 'Endless Reincarnation' is about..."
