"You mean Hogwarts is going to host the most exciting competition in the wizarding world, the Triwizard Tournament?"
Pengpeng nodded and said, "Yeah, not only is it exciting, it's also very dangerous."
"Pengpeng, it's time to go home."
Just when Xi Nan was about to ask more questions, she heard someone calling the little girl's name.
Xi Nan smiled and raised her head. She really wanted to see Pengpeng's parents. She wanted to know what kind of person could raise a daughter like Pengpeng.
But when she raised her head and looked at the man named Pengpeng, her breathing slowed down.
This man is indeed handsome, but this is definitely not the reason why she breathes slowly.
It's just that this face is too familiar to her.
"Hello." The other person's eyes told Zhang Zhong that she recognized him. Out of politeness, Zhang Zhong said hello to her.
"Hello..." Xi Nan even waved her hand. This was completely a conditioned reflex. She only realized how stupid such an action was afterward.
Pengpeng smiled and said, "Sister, I want to go home."
After waving goodbye to Xi Nan, Pengpeng grabbed Zhang Zhong's arm and walked out, "Dad, this sister is so amazing. She knows all those magic props very well."
Xi Nan, who was sitting there, heard Peng Peng's words and thought with complicated emotions: Don't you understand, many of these things were designed by me.
Hey, no, Pengpeng is Zhang Zhong’s daughter, so the plot she just “made up”...
Xi Nan patted his forehead.
I'm so stupid, really, how could I think that a seven or eight-year-old girl could come up with such a plot?
What she was talking about was basically the original work, and it was the content of the original work that ordinary readers like them could not see for the time being.
These stories must have been told by Zhang Zhong to Peng Peng sentence by sentence. Xi Nan could even imagine that Zhang Zhong sat by Peng Peng's bed and softly told her Harry Potter stories countless times before going to bed.
There have been debates on the Internet before. Some people think that "Harry Potter" has actually been completed a long time ago, but it was just released slowly. Others think that the book is very long and it is not correct to say that it has been completed long ago.
In fact, Zhang Zhong should only have a few hundred thousand words of manuscripts at most.
But Xi Nan now knows that this novel must have been finished long ago. Seeing that Peng Peng is so familiar, Zhang Zhong must have told her many times since a long time ago.
When she saw Pengpeng before, she was envious of Pengpeng's parents for having such a cute and smart daughter.
Now after seeing Zhang Zhong, she suddenly began to envy Pengpeng. Not everyone has a father like Zhang Zhong.
Apart from anything else, when your father is someone like Zhang Zhong, you definitely don’t have to worry about bedtime stories.
If Zhang Zhong knew what Xi Nan was thinking, he would definitely laugh at her for being too young. Even he racked his brains to tell Peng Peng a story.
Even if you tell one story a day, you will tell hundreds of stories a year, and often, Pengpeng has to listen to more than one story a day.
Fortunately, there are long stories like "Harry Potter", and many times, Zhang Zhong relies on them to solve the problem of bedtime stories.

"That's how life is. There are no fair rules of the game. Once you fall, it's the end of your life."
"Either you defeat the other party or you are overcome by the other party, and pity is a kind of weakness."
"Either gain dominance or be dominated. Kindness is a sign of cowardice. Kindness does not exist in primitive life. Kindness is misunderstood as fear. Once misunderstood, it will lead to death."
"The person holding the stick is the legislator and the master. You cannot resist him, you must obey him."
As soon as "The Call of the Wild" was put on the shelves, it impacted the hearts of readers with these cold words.
But readers know that this is not a simple law of the jungle, but a kind of ecocriticism.
Perhaps readers do not understand what ecocriticism is, but this does not prevent them from knowing that this is a work that advocates beyond the scope of the law of the jungle.
Literary critics will tell them that what they recognize as something outside the scope of the law of the jungle is ecocriticism.
On the afternoon of the release of the new book, Fang Ya, a well-known Chinese scholar, published an article titled "Zhang Zhong's Ecological Plot - Interpretation from the Perspective of Ecocriticism" in his personal column in the People's Daily.
In this article, Fang Ya first explains the birth, development and characteristics of the ecocriticism method. Then he analyzes the ecological thought in The Call of the Wild from an opposing perspective.
Fang Ya said that Zhang Zhong’s criticism of anthropocentrism is mainly reflected in his criticism of the unhealthy relationship between man and nature and his criticism of the dark side of human society.
This novel does not advocate the law of the jungle, but expresses a sincere desire to return to nature.
The speed with which Fang Ya published his articles stunned readers and other scholars. Some people joked that Fang Ya's typing speed was as fast as Zhang Zhongyou's.
But this is just a joke. After all, everyone knows that under normal circumstances, the speed of typing does not determine the speed of publishing articles.
Some people also say that Fang Ya is just riding on the popularity. Originally, Fang Ya's personal column had only tens of thousands of views per issue at most, usually only a few thousand, and comments ranging from dozens to hundreds.
After this article was published, in just two hours, it received 50,000 views and thousands of comments.
In fact, Fang Ya did "take advantage" of Zhang Zhong's popularity, but taking advantage of the popularity was definitely not Fang Ya's original intention.
The person who said this definitely doesn't know Fang Ya. If you know Fang Ya, you will know that he definitely doesn't need to be popular.
Although he is not very famous among ordinary people, he is a real powerhouse in the academic world.
Although the views of his articles before were only a few thousand to tens of thousands, most of the readers who viewed them were academics, because only they would pay attention to Fang Ya and academic articles.
Xu Zizai saw this article on the way to his fourth brother in the car. A friend in the group sent it to him.
Like ordinary readers, he rarely reads this kind of academic articles, but in the past two years because of Zhang Zhong, he has also read a lot of academic things, such as the article written by He Kelan in support of Zhang Zhong.
I've seen it too, more than once.
He benefited a lot from Fang Ya's article, and the interpretation of the novel in it was also very unique.
After reading the article, Xu Zizai also forwarded the link to the article to his fourth brother, sharing good things.
"Fourth brother, I just saw an article. It's very well written. Do you want to read it?"
After a while, his fourth brother came back with a question mark.
Xu Zizai didn't know what the question mark meant, so he asked, "What's wrong, have you read it?"
"No, I'll tell you when you arrive later." Four replied.
What are you telling me? Xu Zizai was a little confused.
