Extra Horizon 6(2/2)
This weekend, three days later, October 15th.
Otsu came to Uesugizo's house as promised. Uesugizo told him in advance that he could come and get the documents of the manuscript.
Although in modern society, such things can be solved by network transmission, the publisher working in Otsu is more traditional. They all obtain first-hand information from the author and will not be transmitted through the Internet, saying that they are afraid of being stolen by others.
He came to Uesugizo's house and rang the doorbell as before.
About two minutes later, Uesugi came down the stairs and opened the door.
"Mr. Uesugi, I'm disturbing." Otsu bowed politely to greet him.
Uesugi Teru stood in the entrance hall and threw the U disk to him, "Take it, the third volume."
Seeing that he was throwing it out, Otsu hurriedly caught it with both hands, "Teacher Uesugi, be careful!"
"The writing is not that delicate." Uesugi said.
"But this is a U disk! Electronic device!"
“I have backups.”
Otsu looked at the U-disk in his hand and asked tentatively: "How far has Mr. Uesugi written in the third volume?"
"get married."
"So fast!?"
"Yes." Uesuma nodded calmly.
"But you just wrote the second volume...uh... you didn't even write the holding hands!"
"The characters need to be moved. The touch cannot be repeated, so naturally they can only shorten the length. For example, the plot of holding hands is written once, and readers will feel nothing when they read it the second time."
Otsu still thinks it shouldn't be. It should be longer. It's good to have more daily life.
Otsu is a new editor in charge of Uesugizo. He just graduated from university and is an editor. He is also a reader. He still has enthusiasm for novels. Unlike old colleagues who only look at the author's method of using the plot and the rational use of conflicts when reading articles, he put himself in the articles and experienced them as the protagonist.
"Teacher Uesugi, does the title of Dream Cangji that you have called you have any meaning...?"
"Literally, Fang Temple outside the window in my dream. At the beginning, didn't I write about Fang Temple that the male protagonist saw in the window?"
"real..?"
"real."
"What about the fourth volume...? Mr. Uesugi? Do you have any special arrangements?"
"After a month, you can come back in a month."
"Okay, then I'll go back first, I'll bother, Mr. Uesugi." Otsu bowed slightly to him.
"Um."
Uesuma looked at him, turned around and closed the door.
He walked up the second floor, lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
He picked up the mirror placed on the bedside table, then looked at himself in the mirror, and found a white hair on the black ends.
There is no way... He can only place his hope on this...
He wanted to see again... and then look at Hanawa's smile at him...
......
One month has passed.
After the third volume was released, the author of Mengcun Fang Temple was scolded so badly.
Some people even held up banners and ran to the bottom of the publishing house to protest loudly.
The reason is that they have shortened their minds. They feel that they have not seen enough, so why did they suddenly get married? Although they have laid enough emotions before, it is natural enough.
But when I read, I always feel empty.
Feeling uncomfortable!
However, the main reason is that the plot direction suggests a bad ending.
Everyone doesn't want to see that scene.
Utsumiya, editor-in-chief of Yokogawa Publishing House, took a look at the crowded abortion and looked at the newcomer who had just joined the company:
"Otsusan, this matter...you need to communicate with Uesugi and let him write a little more."
What can Otsu do?...helpless.
He had no choice but to agree and then go to Uesugi to have a face-to-face conversation.
After taking the tram and taking two trips in the middle, Otsu once again arrived at the door of Uesugi Tho's house.
When he saw Uesugi again, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Teacher Uesugi, you..."
The teacher has really become a teacher.
This was originally a respectful title, but now... Uesugizo looks older than him... I guess he is about 30 years old, like an uncle...
how so?
He was obviously a young college student in his twenties a month ago.
"how so?"
Uesugizo looked calm, "If you have a terminal illness, your body will age quickly, which is normal."
Otsu asked in disbelief: "Teacher Uesugi, you... are you suffering from a terminal illness?"
"No."
“…”
Otsu didn't react a little.
"Do your family know about this?"
"I know, I took me to the hospital for examination and said it was premature aging, and it was probably a mentally induced disease."
"Isn't this a terminal illness?"
"The doctor said it can be cured. Don't talk about me, but talk about your purpose in coming to me."
"Ah..." Otsu reacted, "It's like this... The editor-in-chief wants you to write more..."
Uesugi directly threw him a U-plate.
"Is this?" Otsu caught it again in panic like last time.
"Volume 4, Dream Cun Fang Temple is finished here."
"It's over, it's over!"
Otsu wanted to say something, but found that Uesugi had closed the door. He quickly stepped forward and knocked hard, shouting:
"Teacher Uesugi! Teacher Uesugi! Teacher Uesugi!"
Uesugi Dora in the house ignored him and walked to the second floor alone.
When there was no movement outside, he lay back on the bed, picked up the photo of Huawan, stroked the frozen smiley face above with his right hand, and murmured:
"I'm thirty-five years old... seven more times... seven times..."
......
My brother suffered from premature aging and the doctor said it could be cured...but it has never improved.
Aiyi broke a paper crane, and walked upstairs with her little feet in slippers and walked upstairs. She stopped outside the door of Uesuma's bedroom. He usually refused to let her in, saying that she was afraid that he would scare her.
"Brother... My aunt is pregnant, and Sister Hua Yu will have a sister too. Don't my brother often say that Hua Yu looks very much like Sister Hua Huo when she was a child? Although Sister Hua Huo and the baby are not around... But my brother also needs to cheer up. Sister Hua Huo and her brother's baby must have hoped so much... Aiyi folded the Thousand Paper Crane for you... Sister Hua Huo told Aiyi... She also gave it to her brother when she was a child... When she received it, she was very happy."
"elder brother?"
Aiyi stood outside the door and waited for a long time without waiting for the response inside the house. She carefully pushed open the bedroom door and found that Uesugi was not inside.
She walked in and found a note on the bed.
Aiyi put down the thousand paper crane and took it up, looking at the words written by Uesugi Osaki above.
[Aiyi, Qian Aiyi, my brother is traveling... Don't worry too much about me, I'm fine... After the fireworks are gone, I often think of her in my dreams, think of her smiling at me, think of her helping me to organize my clothes when I go out, think of her back when she finishes breakfast in the kitchen, think of me touching her nurturing the belly of life... We look forward to the future life together, think of us buying clothes for the little guy who has not yet been born...
I miss her so much, I think... I should go out and relax...
I will find my next destination in the scenery of my journey...
During this period, my brother wanted to ask you to do a favor... and asked Uncle Yuki to promise to name the unborn child Hanaishu...
I know...even if you say it, he will never agree.
But please believe me... on the day the child was born on October 10th... he would think of it and promise.
Please also reassure my mother and father... Don't care too much about me... My heart is still growing, and they should take care of her more...
Aiyi, Qian Aiyi, I will come back in sixteen years... I hope you can still remember me and remember my brother...
Chapter completed!
