I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 81. Book Signing Event

on Monday.

After the morning reading session ended, more than thirty people came one after another, asking Xu Qingfan and his two classmates for autographs.

"All signed, here you go!" Zhang Yiyi was the first to sign the dozen or so comic books given to her because her name had the fewest strokes.

"Brother Qingfan, mine is signed too!" Lin Wanning said with a grin, piling the comic books she had received onto Xu Qingfan's table.

"Just put them all here." Xu Qingfan reluctantly took the next book, opened the cover to the first page, and wrote his signature, the date, and a blessing on it.

[Even after being reborn, I still can't escape the fate of being punished by copying names.] Xu Qingfan thought to himself.

"Xu Qingfan, still signing autographs? When are you going to sign one for the teacher too!" Guan Bianyue appeared at the window at some point and smacked him on the head with the "Hilarious Daily Life" comic book in her hand.

"Tsk~ Teacher, stop messing around. I promised someone that if they want my autograph, they have to buy more than 25 comic books. But considering our relationship, I can give you a back door." Xu Qingfan didn't even look up and continued to bury himself in his work.

"Hmph~ You better behave yourself, or I'll confiscate all your comic books. You think you can get special treatment from the teacher?" Guan Bianyue's expression turned strange as she spoke, as if she had thought of something.

Just as the school bell rang, Xu Qingfan had no choice but to move a large stack of comic books from his desk to the box next to him.

"Do you students know what I'm holding in my hand?" After class started, Guan Bianyue walked up to the podium, held up the comic book in her hand, and asked the students.

"Hilarious daily life!!!" the whole class exclaimed in unison.

"Is it pretty?" Guan Bianyue asked again.

This question immediately sparked a lively discussion among the students in the class.

"nice!"

"The teacher is hilarious!"

"Teacher, you watch 'Hilarious Daily Life' too?!"

"Teacher, look at that comic on page twenty-three. Your class is the noisiest in the whole building! Teacher Guan in the comic says the same thing to you!"

"Teacher Guan, there's still page 48 left. get out of class will end after you finish explaining this problem!"

"Sixty-three pages remaining"

Guan Bianyue's forehead was covered in black lines, and she glared fiercely at Xu Qingfan, who was secretly laughing in the audience.

[How dare they draw a cartoon to satirize me! And it's so ugly!!]
Clearly, the second half of the sentence is the key.

"Quiet down, everyone," Guan Bianyue raised her hand to make a pause gesture, and the students in the class quickly quieted down: "The teacher has also read the comic, and it is indeed very good, but students can't read it during class time, or the teacher will catch you!" Guan Bianyue's sharp eyes, like those of an eagle, swept over everyone present.

The classroom fell silent instantly.

"bump!"

"Can you do it?" The comic book slammed heavily on the podium.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded in agreement like obedient children.

"Very good, let's begin the lesson." Guan Bianyue clapped her hands in satisfaction, picked up the chalk, and began today's lesson.

"Brother Qingfan, Ningning is a little nervous!" Lin Wanning clenched her little pink fists and nervously stomped her feet on the spot.

"Don't be nervous, everyone has a first time, and you still have Yi Yi with you, right?" Xu Qingfan comforted her.

"How about tomorrow? I'm scared."

"Since you're already here, Ningning is the best, don't be afraid." Xu Qingfan patiently tutored her.

"Let's go together!" Zhang Yiyi squeezed Xiao Wanning's palm and urged.

"Let's begin!" Lin Wanning made up his mind and sat down properly in his seat.

"Let's begin!" Xu Qingfan unfurled the banner stuck to two brooms, revealing the bold words "Fan Signing Event for Hilarious Daily Life" in flowing calligraphy.

After securing the broom to the cafeteria table, Zhao Wumian, who was already prepared, immediately shouted loudly, "Wow! There's a fan signing event for 'Hilarious Daily Life' here, come and join us!!" "Ah! Yi Wang Shen is here at Experimental Primary School to sign autographs for book fans!!" Zhao Wumian cupped his hands into a megaphone shape and shouted to the students coming and going.

Sure enough, after shouting like that a few times, the students who were originally scattered in the cafeteria all gathered around in twos and threes.

"Quickly, quick, lines up! First and second teams, get in position!"

A dozen or so shills, who had been pre-arranged, immediately took their comic books and lined up to get autographs.

"What's this place for?" someone who didn't know the answer asked.

The fan volunteers, who had been scattered around, immediately stepped forward to explain: "It's that hilarious daily comic strip, drawn by three of us first-graders. We're signing autographs for fans now!"

"Is it the one who got a public reprimand last time?"

"Ah, yes, yes!"

"Damn it! I left my book at home!"

"It's okay, didn't you see someone selling them over there? They're even cheaper than at the newsstand, only seven yuan a book!"

"Damn, I'll buy another one!"

"."

The book signing was Xu Qingfan's sudden idea last night. After all, many students bought dozens of copies of "Hilarious Daily Life" to support his comic career, and it would be a waste if these books just sat at home collecting dust.

When he made the suggestion in the group, those classmates who had spent all their pocket money on books responded enthusiastically.

"Where else can you find a win-win-win situation where you can get a fully signed copy, sell books to recoup your losses, and help your idol all at the same time!" a passionate fan remarked afterward.

"Your comics are amazing! When will the second volume be released?"

"Thank you for liking our comic! The second volume is already in progress." Lin Wanning handed the signed comic book back to the other party and expressed his gratitude.

[Book signing events are so much fun!] Xiao Wanning thought sweetly to herself.

"Don't all line up here, line up over there for my companions!" Xu Qingfan's hand began to tremble as he looked at the line that still had more than twenty people ahead of him.

"Good luck, Qingfan! Yiyi and I will go get you some food!" Lin Wanning said to Xu Qingfan with a smile after signing autographs for the last fan in her line.

"Go, go!" Zhang Yiyi, whose name has few strokes, had already finished her work and couldn't help but chuckle as she waved her two little pink fists in encouragement.

Fortunately, the students at this time all adhered to the principle that food is the most important thing, and Xu Qingfan finally finished all his work after signing the last dozen or so people.

"Brother Fan, you've worked hard. This is the list of people who bought more than 25 comic books today. Let's continue tomorrow!" Zhao Wumian stepped forward with a grin and handed him a homework sheet full of names, his face showing a look that said, "Praise me!"

[Having you is truly my happiness!] Xu Qingfan suppressed the urge to beat the other person up and took the homework paper.

"Wow! Does that mean we can have a book signing tomorrow?" Lin Wanning exclaimed excitedly as she took the paper from his hand.

"Signature, signature!"

"Weren't you scared?" Xu Qingfan's hand holding the chopsticks was still trembling slightly as he stared at Lin Wanning with a resentful look.

"It's alright. Ningning was originally worried that people would criticize our comics for not being drawn well, but they were all super nice. Some people even gave Ningning small gifts!" Lin Wanning showed Xu Qingfan the cat bell that was tied to her backpack keychain.

"Does Yi Yi want to continue too?" Xu Qingfan then asked Zhang Yi Yi, who was sitting opposite her.

"Mmm!" Zhang Yiyi smiled sweetly and nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Yiyi really enjoyed the feeling of being recognized by so many people all at once.

"Then let's continue~" Xu Qingfan grabbed the still trembling right hand, looking as if he was struggling to put the food into his mouth.

"Great!"
