"I have joined an animal rescue center recently. The school clubs I participated in are preparing for a small charitable concert. They are busy and I don't know until today that I have become a 'temporary internet celebrity' in the domestic online world. I really can't smile."

"I have known Gu Yongsheng for seven or eight years. Since he wrote his first martial arts novel, I was responsible for his manuscripts. There is no doubt that the experience of being Gu Yongsheng's editor was the most glorious time in my career, including my application for the Song University and my study at Song University. The halo of "Gu Yongsheng's editor" has always been blessed. I like this identity very much and never bothered me."

"As for my relationship with Gu Yongsheng, no matter how others talk about it, I still won't explain it in detail, because I have no obligation at all. If it were many years ago, when I published "The Bird of Remaining", I would be very nervous when I saw news or rumors about myself on the Internet. I wanted to read it but didn't dare to read it. I would be sad and sad when I saw bad comments."

"It's different now. I've gradually understood the entertainment nature of the online world, especially when I saw Gu Yongsheng talking and laughing and pointing at the insults of him online, and further understand the meaning of it, that is, meaningless.

I always remember a very classic saying by Gu Yongsheng. He said, 'No one of the people sitting in front of the screen really cares about you. They laugh, yell and accused them, but they were trying hard to participate. After a trip to the toilet, the next topic will start.'"

"Because the matter involves someone else, I'll make a clarification in the end. All the rumors on the Internet are nonsense. As for those netizens who are angry with me, I'm very sorry that I can't accept your kindness. The whole thing is actually very boring, and it's a waste of time to unfold it in detail. I'll communicate with Gu Yongsheng alone."

This post comes from the United States. The poster is "Mihu" who has not appeared in the world for a long time. He had dinner in the cafeteria that day, and Yang Lilu suddenly got up when she saw this post.

That day, when Liu Jingting returned to the dormitory from the canteen, the text message Liu Jingting received came from Chang Youdao, telling him about this, so he vaguely realized that Yang Lilu might have gone to the United States to meet Hu Xiaomi.

However, it took him three days to completely figure out the purpose of Yang Lilu doing this. It was only at this time that he fully understood the true meaning of the sentence "Women's heart, needle under the sea". The books circulating on the market, such as "Eighteen details see through women", "Teaching you to see through women's hearts at a glance", "Do you really know what women want" are all cheating money.

...

New York.

A common street facing north and south, passing through a medium-sized square, intersecting vertically with another east-west street. There is a small elegantly decorated coffee shop in the southeast corner of the intersection.

It was 10:30 am New York time. Yang Lilu and Hu Xiaomi sat opposite each other by the window, and each had a cup of coffee.

Liu Jingting was not wrong. Yang Lilu came to the United States to find Hu Xiaomi.

"I read your post," Yang Lilu said with a slight smile, "and then I also bought your novel, you have a good literary talent."

Hu Xiaomi smiled, said thank you, and praised him, "The Sherlock Holmes you translated is also very wonderful."

“That was written well by him.”

"Do you like him very much?" Hu Xiaomi asked suddenly.

"Yes." Yang Lilu didn't hesitate at all, then asked back: "Aren't you?"

Hu Xiaomi didn't expect Yang Lilu to be so frank. Instead, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, nodded, and said, "He asked me a question before. If one day he no longer has the skills of writing, would I still value him so much? I believe that he asked you this question too."

"Well, he asked me," Yang Lilu squeezed the spoon and stirred the coffee. "How did you answer?"

"I didn't answer this question directly," Hu Xiaomi smiled and looked out the window. "I said we met because of writing. He is the author and I am the editor. And after that, whenever he has a new book, he will tell me first, and the new chapters will be the first to be sent to me."

Yang Lilu's face was slightly dark, and her eyes were filled with obvious anger.

"It can be said that most of my initial love for him came from his novels. Looking at those amazing stories, I began to speculate on his thoughts. As the saying goes, boys should not guess the thoughts of girls. This statement is the same as the other way around."

Hu Xiaomi did not pay attention to Yang Lilu's expression change and said freely: "Then, we further contacted each other, and I began to discover his other advantages, such as humor, righteousness, and daring to take responsibility."

Yang Lilu asked: "Then you get deeper and deeper?"

Hu Xiaomi smiled and looked at Yang Lilu and said, "To be honest, I don't know either. Anyway, I'm very happy to be with him. I have something to say and it's easy. You should have some understanding now."

Yang Lilu didn't answer this topic and said, "What will he say after you answer this?"

"He didn't say anything, and I didn't even know if he was a little disappointed. This is another characteristic of him, and his inexplicable sense of distance. Even though I thought everyone was already very familiar with him later, sometimes I still feel that I didn't really know him."

Yang Lilu smiled slightly and said, "He comes from Xingxing."

Hu Xiaomi was stunned and immediately understood and said, "What did he tell you?"

Yang Lilu nodded and asked again: "What about after that?"

Hu Xiaomi sighed softly and said, "After that, I told him that since he had some doubts, it would be better for us to start with friends again and walk again, after all, I was young at the beginning."

Although I already knew that Liu Jingting and Hu Xiaomi had become "friends", I couldn't help but pour the five flavor bottles into pieces and felt complicated when I heard Hu Xiaomi say it.

"Of course, this is also a chance to make a new choice, which involves another thing."

"What's up?"

"I told him that I like life in the United States and want to stay here all the time. His reaction was very direct at that time, meaning that he would stay in China. This was the first time that he had a disagreement, but everyone was tacitly aware of it, and I believe this is one of the reasons for that problem."

“One reason?”

"Yes, another reason is of course you."

Yang Lilu lowered her head slightly, and the spoon in her hand accelerated.

Hu Xiaomi smiled and said, "I saw you for the first time and I felt very hostile to you. I saw you looking at him. As a girl, I knew the meaning of that look. Then I did something stupid, and I wonder if he had told you."

Yang Lilu suddenly stopped and said, "I said it."

"Well, it was the time on Broadway. The World Drama Competition. That night, I made an appointment with him to see my mother, but he didn't show up. I was very angry at the time and didn't give him a chance to explain. Unexpectedly, he said that when he received the award."

Hu Xiaomi smiled brightly and continued, "You know that in such an environment, he stood on the stage with a radiance and suddenly mentioned me. It was a big impact for me. Girls have never been on guard against such things."

Yang Lilu nodded.

"Then we went out shopping, escaped from the reporters' siege, and ran all the way, feeling like we were acting in a movie."

"That night..." Yang Lilu hesitated, "He didn't go back to the hotel that night."

Hu Xiaomi thought of something, and her face suddenly turned red. Yang Lilu's face suddenly became tense when she saw it.

After a stalemate for half a minute, Hu Xiaomi waved her hand and said, "I won't mention it."

Yang Lilu didn't want to mention it even more and changed the topic: "Since that's the case, why do you still agree to be friends or something? And whether you stay in the United States is an unknown number. Why do you set yourself up in advance?"

"Get yourself a trap in advance?" Hu Xiaomi said in surprise.

Yang Lilu said "um" in confusion.

"This is his metaphor."

Yang Lilu blushed immediately. She really didn't know it.

Hu Xiaomi shook her head and said, "Not surprising", then turned her head and looked out the window again. A young man came to the square at some point, and was playing the guitar and singing.

"We girls have a desperate place. They may be attracted and liked by someone at a certain moment because of something. After that, they will gradually forget this key point and gradually like it more and more. What you just said is getting deeper and deeper, and in the end they don't even remember why they like it. They just feel that they are inseparable and irreplaceable attachment. It seems that without that person, the world will no longer exist."

Yang Lilu listened quietly, subconsciously nodded in agreement, and asked, "You are right, is that what's the case with him?"

Hu Xiaomi shook her head, said she didn't know, and then asked back: "Did you come to the United States to find me this time to confirm this matter?"

"Half is for this, half for another thing."

"What's up?"

"The next thing will only be effective after you answer my question, so, is this what you are doing to him now?"

“Is this important to you?”

"It's especially important. Since you posted that post, you must understand this mood."

Hu Xiaomi's expression became serious and said, "For so long, I have found a lot of things for myself. I hope I can live a hurry every day, because in that case, I won't spend too much time thinking about this, and I won't feel sad."

Yang Lilu suddenly looked up and stared at Hu Xiaomi.

"You ask me if I like him or not, just like I ask you this question. Why don't you like it, and why don't you?"

Yang Lilu was confused at first, then slowly calmed down, clenched her hands slightly into fists, and said, "That's fine, at least I'm not wrong."

“Where’s the best place?”

"In this way, we can compete fairly."

"fair play?"

"Yes, I have always been afraid to say what I like about him, because I care about your existence. It's too immoral to do that, but now it's different. Since we have to start over, we are on the same starting line and can compete fairly."

"You came from thousands of miles away and wanted to tell me these four words in person?"

"right."

Hu Xiaomi suddenly laughed again. This time she laughed for a long time, and even extended the laughter into the first word: "I said I was friends with him because of you, but you came here and said you didn't dare to say you like him because of me. It's really ironic to think about it, and you are all in circles."

Yang Lilu quietly waited for Hu Xiaomi's decision and refused to respond.

"Since you mentioned competition, it means that you and him have not reached that point. I wonder, what is he thinking? If it is because of morality, I have no chance of winning at all."

"I don't have confidence," Yang Lilu said sincerely, "But if you like it, you have to work hard. Hu Xiaomi, you are the same."

"My mind is very confused now and I can't answer you immediately. I want to think about it."

"good."

Hu Xiaomi looked carefully at Yang Lilu for a while and said, "So you bought my book, is the other purpose of knowing yourself and your enemy?"

"That's right."

"They call you half immortal, that's right, you're really amazing."

"You want to say I'm crazy?"

"No, it's magical. No matter what, we can still be friends with our possible rivals."

"I think so too. From this perspective, I'm a little annoyed to him."

“It’s really annoying.”

Liu Jingting, who was on the other side of the earth, was writing "Liancheng Jue" at this time. His expression was very excited because when he wrote the sixth chapter of the story, the blood sword ancestor who was so bad that he finally appeared. From a certain perspective, 30% of the reason for choosing the book "Liancheng Jue" was the character.

Because this bad guy is different from all hypocrites and those who are doing things behind the scenes, he is so bad that he is so bad that he is not concealed. This is exactly the character Liu Jingting wants to show everyone now.
Chapter completed!
