However, we kept in touch every day, and after asking for it for the second time, he honestly said that he had gone abroad because of questions about the experimental subjects. Although he didn’t know what the specific matter was, Su Yao thought it was a bit troublesome. He didn’t ask for details anymore.
, I can’t help at my own level.
I can only ask her to pay attention to her safety.
[Hehe, it’s not a dangerous thing. I’ll be back soon.]
【In short, it is right to be more careful.】
You Ye is not here.
Xia Xianyue signed up for the C1 driving school class, which is a fast and worry-free course. Every day is basically three points at the university, the apartment, and the driving school.
Su Yao originally thought about his credit problem and whether he should go to school to show his face. But after he went there, he found that his credits were only a little behind. There was no such thing as Xia Xianyue said in daily life that if you don't work hard, you will fail.
Branch signs.
After checking again, it turns out that apart from the fact that I didn't get the credits for a long time in the beginning, after I reconciled with Xia Xianyue, I was not free as long as she went to school.
The strange thing is that even the classes that she and he had obviously been absent from were absent.
Um···
Although I don’t know how to do it, I probably need to treat Lin Xiaowan to dinner to express my gratitude when I have the opportunity.
The Summer Quarter Moon has arrived early this morning.
I specially brought breakfast here, put it down and finished eating together, and then left with Lin Xiaowan.
Ah, Lin Xiaowan went to take the exam with her.
By the way, I don’t know how the crash course works. Once the subject is over, I will go directly to practice subject two the next day. And I only practice for three days and then go directly to the exam.
Su Yao was not idle either. After eating, he was ready to get up and go to the place he had made an appointment with the editor.
The reason is the message I received the day before yesterday.
[If you are so close, why not just come over and sign the contract.]
I originally thought that the contract would be mailed, but I didn't expect that once the address was reported, the editor would be in Dongshi, and Li lived only about 20 kilometers away.
[By the way, I’ll also talk to you about the plot and the like. I’m quite interested in your personal experience. 】
Of course, the bigger reason is that the editor is interested in Su Yao.
Otherwise, just find a knight from the same city to send him over. There is no need to make such a formal appointment.
The place we made an appointment with was a coffee shop where we could talk about things.
When Su Yao arrived, it was easy to find him in the corner near the window because he was wearing a blue shirt and black pants as mentioned in advance.
"Hello."
He stretched out his hand.
He looks to be in his early thirties, with his suit jacket rolled up and put aside. He wears gold-rimmed eyes and looks somewhat elegant. However, his figure may be due to long-term sitting and lack of exercise, so he is somewhat obese.
Moreover, the honest smile on this guy's face and the elegant gold-rimmed glasses match each other. Although it is a bit nondescript, it is easy to give people the idea that he is an honest person. He is quite kind.
"Your pen name should be your real name, right?"
"Ah, yes."
"There are very few people who use their real names as pen names these days. Why don't you also come up with a name like I eat oranges and I can repair washing machines?"
"I actually thought about I Eat Oranges, but it has already been occupied by someone else. Whether it is I Eat Oranges 1 or I Eat Oranges 123, they are all occupied. I just thought about it and just typed my name and it passed directly. Then I changed it.
If so, just pay the fee."
"Well, after all, the field of online literature is currently in a period of development. Tens of millions of new author accounts are registered within a year, which is normal."
He coughed dryly and said, "Want something to drink?"
"Bitter coffee is fine. To be honest, my schedule has been a little chaotic these days."
"Okay, then just be like me."
When he was waving for coffee, Su Yao noticed that most of the coffee in front of him had been drunk. There were more than just his own manuscripts on hand.
"Have you met any other authors before me?"
"Ah, yes."
The editor smiled and said, "She is an author younger than you, still in high school. However, although the writing style of her works is a bit immature, the sense of story immersion is very good."
"I thought she was a good person, so I called her over in the morning and interviewed her and told her what areas could be changed and what areas were not enough and needed to be changed."
"You are too dedicated to your responsibilities."
"If anything, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. If I see an interesting story that can be better, I will try to find ways to make it better. This is also the responsibility of the editor."
"Besides, if you write well and get good grades, I can also get more results. Why not win-win?"
“···”
Su Yao felt that this person was quite honest.
"By the way, do you want to read the story written by this little girl?"
"It has something to do with your theme, and it can be considered to be rebirth."
"Maybe you will have some inspiration."
"Has it been published yet?"
"After publishing part of it, she didn't plan to write a long story, so I suggested that she submit it to the short story script competition next month. If she refines it more, she might actually win an award."
"I'd better wait until she finishes publishing and then go take a look."
"That's okay. Speaking of which, you two have some fate. I thought her writing about people's performance when facing death was not good enough, so I recommended your book to her. The new part brought today is obviously much better. I really want it.
Speaking of which, she also had your help in writing her book."
The editor smiled and sent the book title and link to Su Yao.
The name is - "Today is a Good Day to Die"
It's a pretty cool name.
"Hello, you ordered two cups of Americano coffee."
The waiter came over and placed the cup gently on the table.
"A book about you."
The editor took a sip and continued, "It seems like it's the end?"
"That's almost the idea."
Su Yao answered honestly, "It doesn't feel like it's interesting to keep going through it again and again."
"There are still a lot of foreshadowings that haven't been recycled, right?"
"Foreshadowing?"
"For example, regarding the origin of the little monster, her parents. I always thought you were setting it up, but now it seems that if you wrote "death" at that time, does it mean that you are really dead?"
"I didn't consider the things behind the scenes when I wrote. To be honest, I'm not very good at grand backgrounds."
"Um···"
The editor thought for a moment and said, "Although the current part is a good ending, I always feel that something is missing. Lower it, lower it, and then raise it higher. Can you understand what I mean?"
"It means that there are too many depressing parts. Although it is on a good plot now, it is a bad turn as a recycling?"
"Yes."
The editor said eloquently, "I think there are still many places where we can make a big fuss."
"For example, for the origin of the love game, we still only know the players, right? We haven't even seen one thousandth of its true face."
"There is also the origin of the virus in the little monster's body. Can it be mixed with more novel elements?"
"As for her parents, they are indeed dead from the perspective of the protagonist. But the pen is in your hand, and you can live with just one clue."
"Besides, what's going on in the world you came from? Is there an opportunity to go back -"
"You can't go back."
Su Yao suddenly interrupted him.
"Well···"
The editor was a little surprised.
"Feel sorry."
Su Yao took a deep breath, "Can I smoke?"
"Of course, considering you, this seat is a no-smoking area."
"Then thank you very much."
"Crack."
Su Yao lit a cigarette and calmed down, "I just don't want to have so many twists and turns anymore."
"It can't be said to be a twist. After all, you laid a trap like that at the beginning. If it ends like this... I guess it won't be called a perfect work."
"Do you also hold the idea that the story must be reasonable in your work?"
"Reality does not need to be reasonable, but the story must have a beginning and an end. This is inevitable."
“···”
Su Yao stared at his face and had a strange thought for a moment.
"If you are a love game..."
"How can you think of another problem?"
"I?"
The editor was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "I can only make suggestions based on your settings. At present, your type of novel is basically the only one. To be honest, I am also quite interested in the final love game.
What’s the setting?”
"That's it."
Seeing him staring at the manuscript and making comments, Su Yao suddenly felt that this idea was too strange.
"You may be a little disappointed to say that, but I really didn't set it up specifically. It's just a tool that allows the protagonist to enter the new world reasonably."
"That won't work. According to the direction of your script, it would be an anticlimactic end to the love game just letting the protagonist go."
The editor showed a serious expression, "If I go by your current thinking, I can only give this work an average-to-above rating, not even a masterpiece."
"An incomplete story means nothing. A good work must have a beginning and an end. Even if the protagonist kills people close to him in the end like Misty, and is saved in the face of death. Such an absurd and completely real and cruel ending is better than now.
What a great plot ending you planned."
"Now the ending...is it really bad?"
"It's not bad."
The editor shook his head, "It's irresponsible. I'm irresponsible for this story. No one will want to see this kind of happiness that is inexplicably led by the nose. Up to now, the protagonist has resisted in a limited closed-loop world every time, and has failed.
Already."
"The current scene is still a love game that gives you whatever you want. Don't you feel that there is no release of pressure at all?"
"None of the mysteries are solved. Such an ending cannot be called a masterpiece."
"Of course, I still think the manuscript you gave me now is very good. I mean, if it's not the ending."
“···”
A long conversation.
Su Yao was able to draw the conclusion that the editor seemed to really like what he had written. Even when he stated that he had no preparation for the subsequent writing direction, he took out what he thought was foreshadowing and said how he might write it. That kind of
It's hard not to think of his passion for words when he enters work mode and talks endlessly.
In the end, Su Yao no longer emphasized in person that he planned to end it here.
"Does it suck?"
After leaving the cafe, Su Yao smoked a cigarette again.
Looking at the blue sky where the clouds finally cleared and the sun appeared.
Maybe it’s true that it’s not a good work as a story, but I didn’t intend to write any good work from the beginning. It was just a consumable to relieve loneliness.
All I can say is I'm sorry. I can't live up to the fact that he took the time to say so much.
In fact, only a few people listened to it. It didn’t matter how I wrote it later.
It doesn't matter if it's a good work or a bad one.
Then, Su Yao found a random place to have lunch. Then he went to school to take required classes.
It’s been a long time since I haven’t come to class, so it’s not boring at all.
'Is that guy in love with Xia Xianyue?'
'Love? Yesterday I saw Xia Xianyue wearing a ring on her ring finger. I don't know if she is engaged or married.'
'Marriage? A few days ago, when I went to the welfare home to do social practice activities, I saw them taking their children together. They obviously have children.'
'Is it really okay to have a child at such a young age?'
'What does it matter? Su Yao doesn't have to make money anyway. What are the conditions in Xia Xianyue's family? But the marriage is so smooth if the family is not in the right place.'
'My relationship with Xia Xianyue's family is harmonious. That day I was eating noodles by the school and saw a woman lighting a cigarette for Su Yao. I thought that woman looked a bit familiar. Good guy, I searched online and it turned out to be Xia Xianyue.
Mom! I even took a photo of it, you can see...'
'Damn it! Mother-in-law lights up a cigarette! Cow!'
However, it seems that because of Xia Xianyue, I seem to have become a little more famous in college now?
But it’s hard to say whether this reputation is good or bad.
The compulsory course for the second period changed classrooms. The classroom that Su Yao was going to was currently teaching music theory.
I have nothing to do. Anyway, this class is one of my electives, so it’s okay to sneak in now.
‘3213···’
The professor was beating the beat of the drum.
Su Yao always felt that she looked at him several times with a smile on her face, but she didn't know if it was an illusion.
After listening to it for a while, I counted silently according to the metronome inside.
Um?
this···
Isn’t this where the stars are?!
Why is Where the Stars Are accepted by Dongda University as a music teaching material?!
"Pop!"
The professor clapped his hands and the classroom suddenly became quiet.
"Do you know who the composer of this song is?"
She asked the students with a smile.
“···”
And Su Yao was now completely sure that she was really looking at herself.
"I guess you never imagined that the person who composed this masterpiece is in the classroom right now."
"Wow——"
"Really or not?"
"Is there such an awesome person in our school?"
"Is it Senior Zhou?"
"This style should be done by a girl, right?"
"Ah, yes, yes, you girls do everything. Do you want to ask why the expressway is not called a mother road?"
"Are you sick?"
“···”
The people around him instantly became excited.
Su Yao wanted to run away.
But the professor's eyes were already fixed on Su Yao.
"Student Su Yao, do you want to try playing it up and down? I remember that there is a piano version that was recently released and it was also signed by you."
“···”
"I'll go, where is the star written by Su Yao?"
"Hidden deeply."
"Brother, that version you played is so nice! Can you teach me how to play the harmonica?"
"No, is this song very popular? Why am I listening to it for the first time?"
"It's a niche. Last time the professor introduced it to us, I thought it was good, so I went down and listened. I've listened to it dozens of times now."
"It's really composed by Su Yao. Last time I saw the composer Su Yao in the song information, I was a little confused and thought it was the same name..."
There were those who were jealous that Su Yao had the right to choose a mate again, and there were also those who were envious of the ability to compose this kind of music. All kinds of strange sights.
“···”
But as some careful people have noticed, the harmonica version is signed by: Su Yao, You Ye.
So we can’t blame the professor for bringing it up without permission.
Play the piano?
That's not impossible.
On the contrary, being watched by so many people, including professors, Su Yao suddenly felt a sense of reality.
It seems like everything is real.
"Then, it's a shame."
Without any hesitation, he just went straight onto the stage.
The piano is a solid wood piano that has been placed in the corner. It is said that it was donated by a company related to Xia Liangzhen. Of course, I only heard Xia Xianyue say this, not the news that most people know.
"1 2 3 1 1 2 3 1···"
"3 4 5 3 4 5···"
When Su Yao started playing, the people below were a little confused.
"Aren't these two tigers?"
“···”
However, after another pause, the rhythm immediately changed.
“6776531267···”
"~"
“···”
Listening to the same tempo played by the professor just now, even the students who came to take the required course were confused for a while and then chose to wait until they finished listening.
"~"
After playing the last note, Su Yao bowed gracefully like You Ye did when she finished playing in a Paris restaurant.
But maybe I'm not used to it, so it seems a bit funny.
I heard a little smile.
"Quick, quack, quack—"
“That’s great!”
"No wonder I can deceive a high-mountain flower like Xia Xianyue. It turns out that I have hidden skills..."
"It's hard to think of this guy as one of us."
"What kind of category does it belong to? Just because someone can easily pop up on stage without blushing or having a heartbeat, it's already better than most people. I'm convinced."
"Wait a minute, among the songwriters signed by Su Yao, who is Yu Ye? I saw her in many songs related to him."
"Sounds like he's a girl! Isn't this guy going to have two jobs in the entertainment industry?"
"In this shitty entertainment industry, it's obvious that you just like uploading and writing music according to random circumstances, okay? Can you guys stop being so dirty in your thinking? Isn't it normal to create music and meet one or two like-minded friends to jointly create and sign the music?"
“···”
But it soon turned into loud applause.
Of course, I won’t mention some of the strange remarks.
"Student Su Yao, if you have any questions about music, you can talk to me. I personally like your style of light music."
"Furthermore, your song sounds like the composer's level is extremely high, but it is distorted due to over-tuning. If you have time, you can ask your friends to come to my home studio to try and record it again. The effect should be good."
a lot of."
Unexpectedly, a professor who was four or five years older than Su Yao came over and gave Su Yao his business card.
Different from the envious looks around him, Su Yao always felt that the professor was not interested in him, but in Yu Ye, who was tuning the music behind the scenes without showing his face.
If I remember correctly, she bought this song herself.
So Su Yao still remembers that this person asked the tuner several times if he was willing to cooperate or something.
After having this idea, Su Yao felt a little bit subtle while holding this business card.
As the students and professors taking music theory classes left, new students and professors taking the next required class entered, and the process began.
To be honest, I suddenly felt a little bored.
It talks about society, what is inevitability, what is accidental... Although I listen carefully and listen carefully, I know that this professor is very qualified, but it is too difficult to listen to it when I am in a restless mood.
"We all know that the fundamental difference between humans and animals is that humans are social. Socialization is the process in which an individual grows from a natural person to a social person. During the socialization process, humans simultaneously develop their own psychological abilities, improve their personality and behavior
."
“···”
"One of these concepts is called gender role socialization. Does anyone know what gender role socialization is?"
The professor suddenly asked a question, but no one spoke.
"You Ye knows!"
Just as he was about to continue speaking, someone suddenly stood up.
"Gender roles represent the differences in social behavior between men and women. Due to different genders, society has different expectations for them, so there are differences in ways of thinking and behavior. This difference is not necessarily related to physiological characteristics and is not innate.
It’s about gender roles.”
"Uh, that's right."
The professor looked at You Ye blankly for a while, "Why haven't I seen you?"
Not only him, but all the listless students here were stunned when they looked at You Ye. What the hell? When did such a cute loli appear in the university?
"Oh, Youye is not a student here."
You Ye answered very honestly.
"Not a student here?"
"Well! Youye originally wanted to wait for eldest brother to finish his class, but it was too boring outside, so he came in."
"I find your lectures very interesting."
"that···"
"Can't You Ye join the audience with my big brother?"
When he said this, he deliberately pulled Su Yao's sleeve weakly, making him look very pitiful. If Su Yao hadn't been familiar with You Ye, he would have been deceived by his expression and movements.
"cough."
The professor coughed dryly and said, "University teaching has always been very open, and your answer just now is also very pertinent. You have such a level at such a young age. I would be happy to teach students like you who love to learn."
"Yeah!"
"Thank you, Grandpa Professor~"
“···”
The professor turned his back, his face a little dark.
Being called grandpa by such a cute kid, but at over forty years old, I always feel... is he really old?
“···”
Su Yao covered his face and started to have a headache.
The sight around him became more and more dazzling, as if he could stab himself with needles.
It’s not that I’m hostile—
"Um, uncle, not classmate Su Yao."
"You and I are professionals, and I have wanted to get to know you for a long time. You have never attended our professional party before, right? Are you free tonight..."
"You are a shitty fellow! You just want to join in the fun because Su Yao's sister is cute! Let me tell you, starting in three years, the maximum penalty is the death penalty!"
There was nothing wrong in class, but Su Yao was surrounded as soon as get out of class was over.
A few cheeky boys wanted to get closer, but they were immediately blocked by the surrounding girls.
"Little sister, you are so cute!"
"Can I touch your hair?"
"Okay."
"Wow! This hair quality is so good, so smooth! Woohoo, it's like petting a cat."
"Can I poke my face?"
"good."
"Wow, it's so soft~ I can't help it anymore, it feels like a porcelain doll, so delicate..."
“···”
Youye doesn't refuse anyone.
Then after a while he said, "Sister, after you touch Yu Ye, you must help Yu Ye protect big brother."
"To protect my brother so much, isn't it brother-controlling?"
"What is Brother Control?"
Youye tilted his head in confusion.
Even such a simple action can drive people crazy.
“···”
After listening to other people's explanations on the spot, she miraculously showed a shy expression, and seemed to subconsciously grab Su Yao's arm, her voice was small and pitiful.
"Uh-huh..."
"You Ye is my brother's control."
"Wow wow wow! So cute!"
"Su Yao, you are so happy! You have such a beautiful girlfriend and such a lovely sister!"
“···”
What?
Su Yao had long noticed the cunning look in Youye's eyes when she looked at her. She was completely playing tricks.
"Then your brother has a girlfriend now, what are you going to do?"
I don’t know which bastard asked this.
"Although You Ye hates that sister..."
Then Youye turned his head in a panic, and said in a very low voice as if he was about to cry, "But, if it's the eldest brother, Youye is also willing to be the younger one..."
"Wow! So cute!"
"I really want to take him home!"
“···”
Feeling the lively atmosphere at the scene that had not subsided, Su Yao felt bad all over.
He looked at Yuye who was surrounded in silence.
Um.
Apparently, today is a good day to educate Youye to be obedient.
