Chapter 245 [Who can escape the attraction of love] (Subscribe)
"This plot is so fucking amazing!"

Lin Youcheng had long been accustomed to Zhang Wei's heartfelt recitation of Chinese quintessence. Fortunately, there were no children present at this time, so he did not have to worry about his children learning Chinese quintessence from Zhang Wei.

However, seeing Zhang Wei's excitement, Lin Youcheng couldn't help but laugh. He knew that such a plot was still quite shocking in the 1980s.

Obviously, at this moment, Zhang Wei was feeling incredible about the letter exchange between the male and female protagonists written by Lin Youcheng, who were two years apart in age.

“It’s absolutely amazing!”

Zhang Wei was indeed applauding Lin Youcheng's plot design because it was truly beyond his understanding.

Although both of them have a sci-fi feel with the element of time, this one "Unforgettable Lovers" opened Zhang Wei's eyes again. It turns out that the plot can be designed in this way. Unlike "The Time Traveler's Wife" where the male protagonist traveled through time and space, this time it was only the letters that traveled through time and space through the mailbox.

The two people, who were two years apart in age, began to communicate through letters and got to know each other.

“Is this mailbox some kind of time-travel medium?”

“Like a black hole?”

Lin Youcheng smiled and nodded, saying, "You can try to understand it this way."

Zhang Wei was deeply shocked, but he didn't say much to Lin Youcheng because he couldn't wait to see how the plot developed.

Because Lin Yin's boyfriend went to the United States, the two of them were separated for a long time. She had been waiting for her boyfriend silently until she found out that he had fallen in love with someone else. She suffered the pain of a broken heart and watched her boyfriend return to her life as someone else's boyfriend. She felt lonely and sad.

As for Zhou Xian, he has a deep misunderstanding with his father. Although they love each other, they have always been resentful because of his father's remarriage. His father is a well-known architect. He designed and built a seaside villa for his son. He was afraid that his son would resist, so he asked his aunt to let him live in the house in someone else's name. This matter was not known until Zhou Xian's father passed away. Lin Yin, who was far in the future, saw his father's collection of works in a bookstore and told him the story of the house. Zhou Xian cried like a child when he learned that his father's deep love had passed away. It was very unbearable. People wanted to touch his hair and give him warmth.

The subsequent development seemed harmonious. Zhou Xian and Lin Yin communicated through letters, and then had a date across time and space. They shared each other's most comfortable pastime. According to Lin Yin's suggestion, Zhou Xian bought a bottle of beer, drank it in big gulps, ran wildly, and loudly vented in Lin Yin's way to find excitement and happiness. Then Lin Yin took the bus to a street full of larch trees as Zhou Xian said, took a quiet walk, and found inner peace.

The two of them communicated through letters in different time and space, but even so, they met different people in different time and space, because Lin Yin asked Zhou Xian to help her find the tape recorder that was lost at the bus station two years ago. The two of them sped past each other through the car window, and it is estimated that Zhou Lin Yin did not even see Zhou Xian.

At the second meeting, Zhou Xian had fallen in love with Lin Yin. He deliberately met Lin Yin at the bus station. Wearing the women's earmuffs given by Lin Yin, he coughed shyly and carefully, hoping that Lin Yin could recognize him. However, Lin Yin was amused by Zhou Xian through the car window, so Zhou Xian also smiled foolishly, like a boy who had just fallen in love.

On the third date, Zhou Xian couldn't help missing Lin Yin and went to the bus station to meet Lin Yin. In his heart, he already regarded Lin Yin as a very familiar and important person, but he could only see Lin Yin two years ago who didn't know him at all. When Lin Yin smiled and waved in his direction, he was excited, but Lin Yin walked directly behind him, sat next to her boyfriend in that time and space, and talked happily.

Lin Yin walked towards the bus with her boyfriend. Zhou Xian walked forward unwillingly and looked at Eun Joo. His eye sockets and nose were red. The deep affection and sadness in his eyes almost melted. He said in his heart, "Am I still a stranger to you?" Unfortunately, Lin Yin was just surprised at the person who blocked her way. She glanced at him and walked away indifferently to the bus. Zhou Xian lowered his head in frustration, his chest heaving. He closed his eyes and waited quietly for the bus to leave the station. After the whistling sound, only the empty station and Xianxing staring at the back of the bus with loneliness and nostalgia were left...

When Zhang Wei was about to read on, the manuscript came to an abrupt end.

Zhang Wei suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and stopped reading the rest of the story. He looked up at Lin Youcheng and asked, "What's next?"

"What will happen to Zhou Xian and Lin Yin?" At this moment, Zhang Wei was not asking the question as a literary editor, but as a reader who wanted to know how the story would develop and what the ending would be.

Lin Youcheng saw Zhang Wei's expectant look and said, "I haven't written the rest yet."

"You haven't written it, but you must have an idea. What are you going to write next?"

At this moment, Zhang Wei seemed to be asking Lin Youcheng as a literary editor, wanting to know how Lin Youcheng would arrange the subsequent plot.

Lin Youcheng smiled and said, "Write it down and you will know."

"..."

After hearing Lin Youcheng's words, Zhang Wei's whole expression became very bad. He knew that Lin Youcheng said this to him on purpose to make him anxious about the plot that was to follow.

……

"Hold--!"

Zhang Weida couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. He kept thinking about Lin Youcheng's unfinished work "The Unreachable Lovers". He even wondered how he would write the rest of the story if he were the author.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?"

Zhang Wei's wife Zhang Hongfang, who was lying on the other side of the bed, heard Zhang Wei tossing and turning. She felt very sleepy and asked in a daze.

Zhang Wei remembered Lin Youcheng's story and couldn't help but tell his wife about it. He said, "Lin Youcheng is writing a new love novel. It's not finished yet. I read the first part and it's so wonderful. Now I'm thinking about that story all the time and I really want to know what's going to happen next."

"You'll know when he finishes writing."

"You do not understand."

Zhang Wei was eager to see the rest of the manuscript, and he couldn't wait any longer. He didn't know how long he would have to wait. For some reason, Zhang Wei thought of Zhou Xian in the novel who had waited for two years to meet Lin Yin, while Lin Yin only had to wait until tomorrow. Zhang Wei felt that Lin Youcheng's story was so easy to immerse himself in.

Who can escape the fatal attraction of love?

No one can!

This fatal attraction is like gravity. Love will firmly attract each other across time and space, and be drawn into a bottomless black hole, unable to extricate themselves.
