Welcome, what can I get you?

Today, is my publication day, and since our cafe shop seems like a great place for reading and study, and it a great way to get more business for our shop, we are having my publication signing here.

Its a weekend day, so many will be avaliable to come to my signing. Also today I will have my greatest friends: 东林，江南，亚楠，and Sunnie to be my back up, since they are working today. Also since we are kinda short a hand, daniel is here to help also.

Waking up, feeling bright and shining.

I shower and change into brand new clothes. A mini short overall dress. With a graphic t shirt inside.

Feeding 西贝, before going downstairs to make my breakfast also.

Today because of work reasons, 鹿晗 won't be coming to get his coffee this morning.

Finishing up my breakfast I quickly wash it, before starting to set up for today, and shortly after 江南, shows up helping me to lift the large table setting it upstairs. Since not everyone would want my signing, we are having it upstairs so there is more space.

While he sets up my stand upstairs. I start to place the poster and stand outside the shop so people knows what to do and where to go for the signing.

And soon the other few shows up, and my publishist shows up with a whole bunch of boxes of my books.

Markers ready to be used for signing, and a few hundreds of poster/ related things.

With the signing time about to start in a hour, my publishist force me to sit down and rest up waiting.

And to my surprise, minutes laters, I hear her heels running back up, squealing there are already people taking tickets and waiting for the signing to  start.

我们已改开次了嘛？[should we start now?] I ask looking at her panic.

不要，养它们等。[let them wait.] she reply squealing again.

So waiting, I went upstairs to get a cup of water first. And about a few minutes before the time strike, I ask again how many people were here for the signing, and to my surprise there is already over a hundred now all waiting outside. I when I peek out the window they were not lying.

Smiling I re-adjust and prepare myself.

Minutes later, people are rushing upstairs, and immediately im put to work.

Smiling at each person, and responding to some of their comments. I sign each book inside.

Around mid-day 江南 came up with some food and drinks.

Thanking him for his saving, I immediately start to eat as I continue to sign the many things push before me.

this all speed extremely quick yet extremely slow, and I could feel my arm muscles tearing apart.

By the end, when the shop close and the last person's book is sign, im dead.

I had my friends' books sign ahead of times, so after clean up, as im collapsed on to the table infront of me, I got up slightly enough to hand them my book for each of them to read. Its actually not an boring or hard to read book.

So when everyone has left, I collapse again, falling asleep...

哇，你看来死了一样。[wah, you look like your are about to die.] 艺兴 said walking in taking a seat across from me.

谢。[thanks] I reply getting up to go wash my face.

诶，你还有书吗？[ei, do you have any more books?] he ask as I come back handing him a milk tea.

I nod smiling again. before running upstairs to get the books.

Handing him the one I wrote to him. I let him start reading.

你写书很好啊。[you are very good at writing this book.] he said already interested in the plot.

Since I am technically Chinese, my stories are written within two main languages. Which explain how my main fan base is within these two countries, but this is my first time actually doing my publication in China.

Soon after, 鹿晗 came also. In which I handed him his book. And from there, we had a nice celebration dinner.

那你几天才回来啊？[how many days before you return?] 艺兴 ask.

我过两天才去，回去几天吧。[im leaving in two days, going over there for a few days.] I reply thinking it over.

They nod, somewhat happy for me, that I will get to return to the place I know more of.
