Chapter 182

Why did this feel like they were being lectured by an elder?!

"Come, come, sit down, you are all too polite."

At this moment, Ye Mu also poured a cup of tea for each of the four, her eyes carefully examining Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi.

Oh my!

Two more young girls, one gentle, one cheerful.

She had two more suitable candidates for a daughter-in-law.

It seemed her son was very attractive; they were all beauties, and she could take her time choosing.

While handing out the tea, Ye Mu gave Ye Xuan several more looks, clearly signaling him to seize the opportunity.

"You even brought things; you are too polite. Everyone, have a cup of tea first."

The steaming tea cups were placed before them, and after the four thanked Ye Mu, their nervous feelings still hadn't subsided.

Although before Ye Xuan left the industry, they could be said to be practitioners in the same circle.

But ever since Ye Xuan rejected the Nobel Prize in Literature, the distance between them and Ye Xuan was like a hundred thousand miles.

Plus, they were starring in Ye Xuan's work; meeting the original author in person, how could they not be nervous?!

Among them, the most impatient remained Meng Ziyi.

Glancing at Ye Xuan, who was slowly sipping tea in the main seat, her eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Ye, I've been following your books since you started writing *The Old Man and the Sea* and *One Hundred Years of Solitude*.

Later, I read *The Return of the Condor Heroes* and *Legend of the Condor Heroes* more than ten times.

Being lucky enough to play Mu Nianci in the *Condor* crew is truly my honor.

Could I ask for your autograph later?"

Saying this long sentence without stopping for breath, Meng Ziyi was like a little fan girl, her eyes flashing with fanatical light.

Once she finished, fearing Ye Xuan would refuse, she added impatiently, "I will definitely frame it when I get home and treasure it!"

Looking at Meng Ziyi's eager expression, Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile softly and nod in agreement.

"Naturally, thank you."

Seeing Ye Xuan agree to sign for her, Meng Ziyi's eyes lit up with joy, and she immediately took out paper and a pen from her bag.

When she saw Ye Xuan's name appear on the notebook, she smiled until her eyes squinted, clutching the notebook tightly and refusing to let go.

Thinking that the chance to see Ye Xuan was too rare, Meng Ziyi didn't want to end their conversation and threw out a new question in one breath.

"Mr. Ye Xuan, as your loyal fan, your works are absolutely perfect in my mind. If ten is a perfect score, what score would you give these works?!"

When this was said, Ye Xuan's movements paused, as if recalling something, and then he said casually.

"*One Hundred Years of Solitude* 9.7, *The Old Man and the Sea* 9.6, *The Return of the Condor Heroes* 9.4, *Legend of the Condor Heroes* 9.4."

When this was said, the four people sitting in front of Ye Xuan showed looks of confusion.

Why was the score so precise to the decimal point?!

Li Yitong, who hadn't spoken until now, couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What about the missing points? Why is *One Hundred Years of Solitude* the highest?"

As she finished, Ye Xuan put down his teacup and said casually.

"Ask Douban for the remaining points."

In other words, that was the score everyone gave his books; what did it have to do with him?!

Hearing this, the four people in front were stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In everyone's eyes, Ye Xuan was an unreachable great author.

This answer was a bit mischievous and carefree.

The clever answer immediately narrowed the distance between them and Ye Xuan, causing their previous restraint to vanish.

Li Yitong's eyes curved into crescents, and she couldn't help but say, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Mr. Ye, I don't know if our abrupt visit will disturb your writing."

As she finished, Yang Xuwen asked curiously.

"Do great writers like you usually write at night?"

After all, in most people's eyes, aren't authors night owls?!

At this time, everyone looked at Ye Xuan, who shook his head and said lightly.

"Greater writers usually write during the day. God invented light, and you insist on going against God."

The plain tone made the four people in front unable to hold back their laughter.

Greater writers?!

This humor was overflowing!

Even Li Yitong, who was usually introverted and quiet, had a look of admiration that was almost tangible.

Falling into Yang Xuwen's eyes, he felt a bit sour.

After all, Li Yitong played Huang Rong in the show, and he played Guo Jing; they were a standard screen couple.

In the show, he and Li Yitong had some contact, but outside the show, Li Yitong treated him as just a normal colleague.

But in front of Ye Xuan, look at Li Yitong's sparkling eyes; if someone called her the number one fan, people would definitely believe it.

Just as everyone was having a good time, Ye Mu, who had left earlier, came up with a fruit platter.

Distributing watermelon and grapes, Ye Mu asked casually.

"Oh my, since you all came, the house feels lively. Do you all have partners?"

Ye Mu's tone was indifferent, but the focus was clearly on the second half, and her peripheral vision was aimed at the two girls.

After all, it was an elder asking, and with Ye Mu's chatty tone, Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong didn't think too much, and both answered one after another.

"Not yet."

"Auntie, I'm still young, no rush."

The first sentence was from Li Yitong, and the one saying "no rush" was naturally Meng Ziyi.

Seeing that both said they didn't have partners, Ye Mu was secretly happy; wasn't this just perfect?

Ye Mu's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Ye Xuan.

"Mom, why are the grapes you gave me sour?"

Ye Xuan naturally saw Ye Mu's intention, his eyes carrying a slight bitter smile.

People were visiting for the first time; was Mom really not afraid of scaring them away?

As Ye Xuan changed the subject, Ye Mu turned to look at him, her tone carrying a hint of leisure.

"Do you know why they aren't sweet? They are seedless grapes; can seedless grapes be sweet?!"

As she spoke, Ye Mu rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan without hesitation.

Hearing Ye Mu's words, Li Yitong giggled, her eyes curving into crescents again, clearly hearing the matchmaking intent in Ye Mu's words.

Only Meng Ziyi was still a bit confused.

"Auntie, the seedless grapes I eat are sweet."

She clearly felt Ye Mu's statement wasn't comprehensive and couldn't help but add her own case.

And seeing Meng Ziyi's confused expression, the three beside her burst into laughter.

Meng Ziyi's words truly carried the "dumb beauty" persona to the end.

Even Ye Xuan laughed out loud. ===== CHAPTER 185 =====
