Chapter 2114 Island of Time

When Jin Jingcheng returned to the mansion, he was indeed inspired to write, so he wrote the tenth short story in his study.

This is a story about time and love, and he named the short story "The Island of Time".

...

Xue He, thirty-three years old, is a young naval officer and the captain of a destroyer. He is young and promising, but his marriage has been criticized because he married Xiurong, a divorced woman older than him. Xiurong also has a thirteen-year-old daughter Xiufei, who is Xiufei's stepfather.

On this day, Xiurong suddenly died in a car accident, leaving only Xue He to raise his stepdaughter Xiufei alone.

One year after that, Xiufei fell in love with Xue He, and Xue He also had a special affection for Xiufei. Xiufei boldly confessed to Xue He. Xue He thought this was a taboo. He was Xiufei's stepfather, and he was twenty years older than Xiufei. How could he fall in love with this adopted daughter and girl?

Another year later, under Xiufei's continuous offensive, Xue He finally couldn't help accepting it. However, he knew that once such a thing was discovered, he and Xiufei would be seriously criticized, not to mention that Xiufei is still young and only fifteen years old.

For Xiufei, Xue He resigned from his position as a naval officer and took Xiufei to an island called Time Island, and bought a fishing boat to make a living by fishing.

One day, Xue He took Xiufei to sea to fish, but unexpectedly found that there was a magical cliff on Time Island. The cliff had four big words "Island of Time" written on it, and some words were marked, saying that this cliff could swallow people's time.

Xiufei immediately became excited because she was young and Xue He refused to ask her for it. She longed to grow up immediately.

Xiufei told Xue He that she wanted to be swallowed by the cliff for five years, and wanted to grow into a twenty-year-old woman at once, and then she could become his woman. Xue He did not expect that she had lost five years for herself. After some hesitation, he still couldn't help but agree.

So Xue He brought Xiufei to the cliff again. Xiufei clasped her hands at the cliff and said, "I'm willing to give you five years."

The result surprised the two. Xiufei did grow five years old all of a sudden, from a fifteen-year-old girl to a twenty-year-old woman, but Xue He grew fifty years old all of a fifty years old, from a thirty-five-year-old man to an eighty-five-year-old man.

The two of them then realized that this was a sinister cliff. One person made a wish to the cliff. While satisfying this wish, the cliff would also swallow ten times the time for the others present.

Xue He suddenly became an 85-year-old man, Xiufei was only twenty years old, what should I do? The reality is cruel. Xiufei abandoned Xue He and fled from the Island of Time.

Xue He was very angry. He felt that if it weren't for Xiufei, he wouldn't have become like this now. He would have been a promising naval officer. Xiufei caused him to suddenly grow old, and Xiufei cruelly abandoned him.

What made Xue He even more angry was that when he tracked down the naval base in Busan, he found that Xiufei had gotten married soon, and was a young naval officer.

Xue He launched a crazy revenge. He found an opportunity to kill the naval officer, immersed Xiufei and captured the Time Island, and took Xiufei to the cliff. Xue He made a wish to the cliff: "I am willing to give you five years."

So, this time Xue He grew five years old and became a ninety-year-old old man, while Xiufei grew fifty years old and became a seventy-year-old old woman.

When Xiufei woke up from her coma, she found that she was old and could not bear the blow and went crazy!

The police tracked down the Time Island and wanted to capture Xue He who was killing people. Xue He climbed onto the cliff and chose to jump off the cliff and commit suicide!

The moment he jumped off the cliff, Xue He looked down at the crazy old woman Xiufei in the crowd, and a miserable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...

...

This is the short story "The Island of Time" written by Jin Jingcheng.

This is a story about time and love, and it is also a bloody and cruel story.

There is a saying that goes: "When you are thirty, you have the ability to buy toys you like when you were ten years old; when you are 40 years old, you have the ability to marry a girl you like when you were twenty years old. But what's the use of this?"

To put it in this sentence, "The Island of Time" can be explained in this way: "A man of thirty-five-year-old loves a fifteen-year-old adopted daughter. In order to be his woman immediately, the adopted daughter took the initiative to sacrifice five years and became twenty years old. But unexpectedly, the man was swallowed up for fifty years and turned into an old man of eighty-five. So, in the cruel reality, this kind of love is naturally impossible. The woman abandoned the man and got married soon. The man launched crazy revenge, killed the woman's husband, and turned the woman into a seventy-year-old old woman."

The short story "Island of Time" is fantasy, but it is more realistic.

Love is beautiful, but time is cruel, and reality is even more cruel. When love encounters cruel time and reality, it cannot stand the test.

After writing, Jin Jingcheng spent half an hour to check and modify the novel, and then passed it to Yao Yihan.

Jin Jingcheng thinks that short stories like "The Island of Time" are very suitable for adaptation into movies.

Kim Jingsung flipped through his computer documents. So far, he has created ten short stories based on his literary talent, namely "The Piano Prince Without Hands", "Philosopher in the Courtyard", "Hairang", "Mirror and Flower", "Seoul Fairy Tale", "Poetry Gallery", "Crash", "Existence", "Fall in Love with a Woman Who Knows Kung Fu", and "The Island of Time".

Several of them are very suitable for adaptation into movies, such as "Hiro", "Seoul Fairy Tales", "Poetry Gallery", "The Island of Time". Even "Mirror and Flower" can be adapted into movies. I just want to shoot movies like "Mirror and Flower", which requires high shooting technology. If you shoot well, it will be a beautiful and dreamy movie, and it will also be a strange love art film.

Now Jin Jingcheng has only written ten short stories. His planned collection of youth literature short stories includes twenty short stories. Next, he will continue to write ten short stories, and he believes that there will be more exciting short stories later.

"Twenty short stories, and they are not plagiarized works from previous lives. They are original works by myself. How can I not use them more?" Jin Jingcheng muttered.

He was no longer satisfied with just serializing and gathering twenty short stories in magazines into short stories and publishing them. He wanted his short stories to create greater value, that is, adapted movies. For short stories, the greatest value that can be created is undoubtedly adapted movies.

I remember that the movie script of "Brokeback Mountain" was adapted from a short story.

Jin Jingcheng is looking forward to investing in adapting these original short stories into a movie in the future!
Chapter completed!
