Hear My Heart: My World Falls into the River of Love

Chapter 58 - Teacher Tang Zhi is hosting an autograph signing

It wasn't that Xu Ying never thought her engagement with He Chen would break one day, but in her thoughts, the one to suggest breaking the engagement would always be her.

She hadn't anticipated He Chen being the first to bring it up. She set down her cup of water and furrowed her brows as she stared at him. "He Chen, what do you mean?"

He Chen commented, "I think I expressed myself very clearly. I want to break our engagement."

Xu Ying smiled sharply, anger barely restrained. "It's broken just because you say so? Even if we want to break it, then it should be because I broke it off!"

"It doesn't matter to me. If you have an easier time accepting it with that, then you can tell the others it was you who broke the engagement."

"You!" Xu Ying glared at him in rage. "He Chen, you're already 28 this year right? Now's not the time for joking around. We held an engagement feast with great fanfare just last month, yet now you speak of wanting to break it off? What would others think?"

"What can they think? Marriage can also lead to divorce; besides, we're only engaged. Everyone is an adult and can understand."

"Ah, truly ridiculous. At that time, it was you insisted on being together with me, so what happened now? Did you fall for another woman?

He Chen stared at her, his gaze serious for the very first time. "Xu Ying, ask yourself this: do you like me?"

Xu Ying pursed her lips and remained silent. It was only a good while later that she said, "Fine, you want to cancel the engagement. Go tell your parents and my parents yourself." She picked up her purse and left without a second glance.

Thinking of the two pairs of parents, He Chen felt a slight headache. Though, for some unknown reason, his heart actually eased significantly.

After Jian Yan returned from France with He Xiu, she received manager Yun Yan's notification. It said that 《 Satisfactory》's completed collection will hit the market ahead of schedule.

Yun Yan: 「It's like this. There's a relatively large anime festival in March. We have always had a collaborative relationship with the organizers, so this time, we're thinking of taking advantage of this anime festival to start the collection there. I'm wondering if you're willing to go there and attend signings?」

Yun Yan: 「If you aren't willing to show your face, you can wear a mask too.」

The publishing house had previously also mentioned signing autographs, but Jian Yan hadn't dared to go to heavily populated areas as she would unavoidably have to touch men. Secondly, she wasn't willing to show her face. Even though she could wear a mask, this didn't go along with her aesthetics.

At present...the paparazzi had already revealed her pictures twice. Despite being deleted very quickly, tons of people have already saved the pictures. In addition, her misandry had improved significantly. If she was careful, there shouldn't be any problems.

Tang Zhi: 「Will the autographs only be for the 《Satisfactory》 completed collection?」

Yun Yan: 「Mn. Of course, readers might still bring other books for autographs. We'll try to limit the time as much as possible. The signing is only half an hour long, with possibly a small interview beforehand.」

Tang Zhi: 「Then can I request that the host and the staff members by my side are all women at that time?」

Yun Yan: 「This is a small matter and can be talked over with the organizers.」

Tang Zhi: 「If it's like this, I will participate.」

Yun Yan: 「Fantastic!『hugs』」

Since the start of Tang Zhi's career five years ago, this was the first time she was participating in a signing. As her current manager, Yun Yan felt especially excited.
