A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 333 I am Yuye, and I am also Jianghai! Don’t worry about having no friends on the road ahead, who in the world doesn’t know you? Identity revealed
This trip concerns the dignity of us as writers, so how can there be any reason to retreat?

Although Jiang Hai's voice was not loud, it was resounding:

"Even if I have to bite hard, I will bite off a piece of his bone!"

On the one hand, Jiang Hai knew that this expedition was not for himself, but for the country and for Chinese writers in the international community.

Don't be looked down upon!
On the other hand, Jiang Hai did it for himself. Even though the outside world had many doubts about him, this time -

He will definitely reward Chinese science fiction literature and make it stand at the top of the world!
"Okay!" Seeing Jiang Hai agree, Tie Ning suddenly became a little excited, so much so that his voice was trembling slightly, "I will immediately invite people of insight from all over the world to go to the competition with you in the name of the China Writers Association and the Ministry of Education!"

"In one week, the World Science Fiction Competition will officially begin!"

"In a week, you will lead the team—"

"Officially departing for New York!"

The Ministry of Education's call for writers was issued very quickly. In less than three days, the country's top universities, led by Peking University and Tsinghua University, began to receive notifications one after another, requiring them to use their school's strength to select a spiritual author who is good at science fiction themes, and together with Jiang Hai, they set off for New York to participate in this world science fiction writing competition held by the United States!
At one time, many senior authors, fresh blood, and old writers came to the party after hearing the news:

"I have 500 years of experience in science fiction writing. I used to be the chief writer for Future magazine. My science fiction work The Martian has sold over million copies in major bookstores and newspapers. I hope that this time, I can follow Mr. Jiang Hai and go on the expedition to New York together!"

"Although I am not a science fiction writer, I think I can still compete with American writers in terms of imagination! I once wrote a children's fantasy book "Lost Relics" with the magazine Yueyue. It was adapted into an animation and broadcast on the Internet platform. It has been played 30 million times. I think I am also qualified to participate in the science fiction competition."

"How can I be left out of something like bringing glory to the country? I used to be the editor-in-chief of Fantasy magazine."

"I am a visiting professor at the School of Literature at Peking University. I once studied at Fordham University on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. If you want to go to the United States, I can lead the way for you."

This year's World Science Fiction Writing Competition has caused a lot of buzz.

Whether it is a new writer or an old author, they all hope to
Create a unique style that belongs to us Chinese writers!
Not only China and the United States are frantically recruiting, but if we count the influential literary powers in the world, France, Britain, Japan and Russia have all issued calls for elite writers in their countries.

Its purpose——

We hope that through this World Science Fiction Competition, we can enhance the reputation of each literary author in the international literary world!
In other words-

Everyone hopes to show up in this World Science Fiction Writing Competition!
The Nebula Award is Japan's science fiction hall of honor.

The Hugo Award is the American science fiction hall of honor.

On the Japanese side, in order to restore the declining image of Japanese literature in the field of world literature in recent years, all the science fiction writers who have won the Nebula Award in recent years and are still alive have been recalled from abroad, and the six most promising emerging science fiction writers have been selected in the country to participate in the World Science Fiction Convention!

In order to regain its position as a cultural hegemon, the United States had already contacted the excellent writers and powerful authors who had won the Hugo Award in the past, and spent two years polishing their works. It is obvious that they were well prepared for this World Science Fiction Competition.

In addition, the following are the major literary powers that are still influential in the current literary world: Britain, France, Russia, Austria
Everyone will be invited to go to New York to participate in this World Science Fiction Literature Writing Competition!

This is the first real confrontation between Chinese and American writers!
This is also the first time that China's elite writers have appeared under the world's lens!

Countries around the world are gearing up and making almost frantic preparations for this world science fiction writing competition.

Chenghai Drama Academy.

Jiang Hai packed his luggage and returned to the university campus where he had lived for four years.

He walked in every corner of the campus, stopping and starting along the way.

Looking at these familiar scenes on campus, his brows would sometimes frown, sometimes relax, sometimes bow his head in deep thought, and sometimes laugh out loud.
"This seems to be the Internet cafe where I often went online with Fatty Monkey when I was a freshman in college."

"This is the pavilion in the center of the lake. I still remember that my classmate Shen Yue said goodbye to me in front of the lake."

"This is May Fourth Square. I wrote a three-line love letter here. It seems that this three-line love letter won a prize?"

"As for this side."

Walking past the Student Activity Center, I saw a photo of myself and Taozi, the then president of the Literature Club, after dinner during my sophomore year placed at the entrance of the Literature Club.

I don't know why Jiang Hai suddenly
A little sad?
Once upon a time, he had many friends around him.

but now.
It seems that these friends have all graduated?
For example, Taozi, Xiao Linyu, and Chen Hanying
As Jiang Hai was thinking, he suddenly realized something, that is, he is now...
Are you also about to graduate?
Chenghai Drama Academy will welcome the same group of new students this year. These new students will also begin to write their own stories in this school full of youthful vitality.

But, all this.
It has nothing to do with me anymore?

Life is a process of ups and downs.

I don’t know why, but when Jiang Hai thought about leaving this school and facing the farewell, he felt extremely sad for no reason?

June in midsummer is a hot season.

Likewise, June in midsummer is also a season of farewell.
Passing by the dormitory building, Jiang Hai saw a female classmate with a backpack on her back. After packing her luggage, she waved to the dormitory manager with a reluctant look on her face:

"Goodbye, aunt~"

Little did I know that this goodbye would actually be our last.

In fact, we have met many people for the last time in this life, but we never noticed it at that time.

I don't know what happened to this female student who said goodbye to the dormitory manager many years later.
Can you still recall this hot and boring summer today?
As Jiang Hai was thinking about it, he walked all the way from the May Fourth Square to this milk tea bar (west of the old city) which was very popular among students in the school.

Looking at this familiar plaque, Jiang Hai vaguely recalled the days when he serialized "My 26-Year-Old Female Tenant" on the novel website.

"Count the time, the book "The Tenant""

"It's been almost finished for two or three years?"

I still remember when "The Female Tenant" was popular all over the country, some students in the school followed the trend of this novel and opened a milk tea shop "West of the Old City" in the school.

I originally thought it was a losing business.

Who would have thought.
How could it be so popular two or three years later?

Even though it was two o'clock in the afternoon and students were still in class, there were still more than a dozen students queuing in front of the entrance [west of the old city].

Jiang Hai is lamenting the impermanence of the world and the passing of time.

Suddenly, he saw an acquaintance in this milk tea shop who shouldn't be here.
Ye Yingqiu!
"Shouldn't Ye Yingqiu graduate by now?" Jiang Hai stood at the door and immediately fell into deep thought, "Why did she appear in Chengxi again today?"

I still remember that when Ye Yingqiu opened this [West of the Old City] store in the school, she once saw through Jiang Hai's hidden identity and guessed that Jiang Hai was the one who brought an umbrella but no knife on a rainy night.
How come a person who should have disappeared from school appeared in school again today?

When meeting old friends again, Jiang Hai did not feel any sense of alienation, but only a feeling of relief.

Firstly, it’s because I’m not afraid.

Secondly, it was because I was about to leave here.

At the time of parting, Jiang Hai had grown up a lot. Recalling the past, he felt funny.
Can't help but feel a little regretful?
"Time really passes too fast."

Walking into the store from the door, Jiang Hai waved to the busy Ye Yingqiu:

"Boss Ye, give me a glass of Dongxi."

Seeing his old friend again, Ye Yingqiu also felt a sense of surprise.

The moment I saw Jiang Hai walk into the store.

Suddenly, exclamations arose:
"Oh, it's you."

Compared with the previous two years, Ye Yingqiu has changed a lot now. She is no longer the strong girl who has a frail figure but a hot temper and always says: "I'm Shu Daoshan".

Now, she has shed her youthfulness and gives people a feeling of grandeur and composure.

Sit by the window.

Ye Yingqiu began to talk about his experiences in the past two years:

"You know, during the past two years that I've been studying at CAFA, the news I've heard the most is about you. I never thought you would be so amazing."

Jiang Hai really didn't know where Ye Yingqiu had gone.

But Ye Yingqiu was hearing news about Jiang Hai crazily all over the country.

It can be said that in today's literary world, Jiang Hai——

It's a legend!
A well-deserved legend!

When the old friends met again, they talked about the past. They talked about how Ye Yingqiu once mistook Yang Wei for "a man with an umbrella but no knife on a rainy night" and ordered people to beat him up, leaving him with a black eye and a swollen face.

Jiang Hai couldn't help laughing:
“At that time, you really could do it.”

When Ye Yingqiu mentioned the embarrassing things in the past, he immediately blushed:
"You are young and frivolous, don't scold me, don't scold me~"

This was brought up unintentionally.

Jiang Hai asked her:
"How about it, do you still hate carrying an umbrella instead of a knife on a rainy night as much as you did back then?"

hatred?
If you say I hate it, it’s not that much.

At a specific time.

At a certain age.

In a specific location.

It is true that people tend to be impulsive and do irrational things.

Time can indeed dilute many things, including hatred.

It was obvious that Ye Yingqiu had already let it go:

"Do you think I'm still as irrational as a three-year-old?" "I'm already twenty-seven."

While the two were chatting, the get out of class was about to end, and a flood of students suddenly rushed towards the west of the old city.

Summer is the time when milk tea shops do peak business.

Seeing that many more students were entering the store, Ye Yingqiu hurried over to greet them:

"Please sit down first. I'll be leaving for a moment."

The difference between freshman students and graduating seniors can really be seen at a glance.

Freshmen are full of vitality. Although there is a kind of clear stupidity in their eyes, they are still full of yearning for the future.

On the other hand, in the eyes of senior students
In fact, I am more confused about the future.

Feeling the breath of youthful vitality, Jiang Hai slowly glanced at the milk tea shop that had accompanied him for more than two years, and he understood.
It's time to say goodbye!
"Um." Jiang Hai raised his head and shouted to Ye Yingqiu who was busy, "I have something to tell you."

Unexpectedly, Ye Yingqiu was busy making milk tea at the bar and didn't hear Jiang Hai's call at all.

All the high-profile departures are actually tests, and the real departure is without farewell. Those who shout at the top of their lungs that they want to leave are actually trying to get the other party to stay. Those who really want to leave just pick a sunny morning, wrap themselves in their most commonly worn coat, quietly close the door, and then never leave.

Some people appear in your life not to accompany you to the end, but to make you grow and learn to love and cherish better.

It is also based on the idea that "Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead, everyone in the world knows you" that there is no need to say goodbye when leaving.

He glanced at Ye Yingqiu who was busy and enthusiastic.

Jiang Hai smiled, then took a piece of paper from the table and wrote a few words on it.

Then he turned around and left without looking back:

"Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead, everyone in the world knows you"

I don’t know how much time had passed.

Maybe, ten minutes.

Maybe, twenty minutes.

When Ye Yingqiu finished the things at hand and looked up to search for Jiang Hai in the store, she found that Jiang Hai had already left.

"Why didn't this person say anything when he left?"

Ye Yingqiu, wearing an apron, walked to the seat where Jiang Hai had sat, and began to pick up the cups he had left behind. While picking up the cups, she discovered...
It turns out Jiang Hai left her a note?
"what is this?"

Ye Yingqiu picked up the folded note and unfolded it. Two sentences appeared on the note:
[I didn’t have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person. ]

【I am the rainy night, and also the river and the sea. 】

I apologize for the annoyance and pain I have caused you.

The moment she saw the contents of the note, Ye Yingqiu's long eyelashes began to tremble violently.

Instantly, her voice of rebuke resounded throughout the entire milk tea shop:
"Jiang Hai He"

"You're bringing an umbrella but not a knife on a rainy night?!?!?!"

The wind is whistling and the Yi River is cold; the hero leaves and never returns.

According to the school's regulations, fresh graduates can stay in school until July, but
By the time Jiang Hai participated in the three-month [World Science Fiction Writing Competition], regardless of his results, most of his buddies, friends, and classmates at school had probably left.

The importance of this World Science Fiction Writing Competition to the Chinese literary world is self-evident.

Jiang Hai is the team leader for this overseas competition.

The leadership of Chenghai Drama Academy, headed by President Fang Zhenguo, held a grand farewell party for Jiang Hai's departure.

On the playground, thousands of students gathered together.

Watch Jiang Hai leave!

As the most proud student of Chenghai Drama Academy!
As a unique existence in contemporary Chinese literary world!

As a representative of China's science fiction field entering the world competition!

Jiang Hai really has too many legendary experiences.
In the crowd, the fat man gave Jiang Hai a bear hug as if he was extremely reluctant to leave, and then burst into tears:
"Brother Hai, stand up!"

"No matter what the result of this competition is, no matter how others criticize you, you are in my heart——"

"Always my good buddy, always my brother Hai"

After the fat man finished hugging, Chu Tianjiao also gave Jiang Hai a hug:
"Haizi, charge!"

"I will definitely cheer you on from behind!"

It should be said that even Chu Tianjiao, who has always been cheerful, couldn't help but shed tears when facing this farewell scene.

At Chenghai Drama Academy——

Anyone who has had contact with Jiang Hai.

Counselors, mentors, Mr. Wang, Professor Ye, members of the literature club, classmates.
These people put down what they were doing and came to see Jiang Hai off:
"Jiang Hai, come on!"

Among them, the person who cried the loudest was neither the fat man nor Chu Tianjiao.

Instead, it’s Zhang Wenle, the monkey who has always called each other a brother in distress.

Zhang Wenle cried, not because he couldn't bear to leave.

But because
"You deserve to die!"

"How the fuck did you become the team leader again? How the fuck did you suddenly become so awesome, wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu."

There is no need to be sad about parting.

The book says that there is no banquet that will last forever, which is certainly true.

But the book also said that life is everywhere and we will meet each other.
Wave goodbye to everyone one by one.

Under the eager gaze of everyone.

Jiang Hai boarded the special car that the Education Department specially arranged for him:

"Please trust me!"

"In this battle, I must show the style of Chinese writers."

Wait until Jiang Hai leaves.

The entire playground was suddenly immersed in a sad atmosphere.

Unable to control his emotions for a moment, the fat man burst into tears in front of everyone:
"When Brother Hai leaves, there won't be any of us left in school when he comes back!"

"Brother Hai can't see me, and I can't see Brother Hai either, wuwuwuwuwu."

It was also a time when the fat man was sad.

A delicate figure suddenly appeared from the back door of the playground, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and she was filled with resentment:

"Where's Jiang Hai?"

"Where is Jiang Hai?"

"Jiang Hai, get the hell out of here!"

Seeing Ye Yingqiu suddenly appear after a long absence, the fat man choked up and tried his best to control his emotions as he greeted her:

"Are you here to see Brother Hai off, too?"

Send Jianghai?
Indeed it is!
It's just that you came to send him away, and I
To send him to heaven!!!
Unable to conceal his anger at all, Ye Yingqiu felt like his lungs were about to explode:
"Stop talking nonsense. Where is Jiang Hai? Get him out here right now."

"Jiang Hai just left." Chu Tianjiao pointed to the direction where Jiang Hai's car left, and then looked puzzled, "Why are you looking for Jiang Hai in such a hurry?"

Having said this, Chu Tianjiao glanced at Ye Yingqiu's belly:
"Could it be."

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Yingqiu made a shocking revelation that shut up everyone present:

"Jiang Hai, he——"

"It's like carrying a knife instead of an umbrella on a rainy night!"

What did you say?!??

Everyone was amazed.

It was this sentence that directly broke the atmosphere of sadness and reluctance.

An angry shout suddenly resounded throughout the playground:
"Jianghai——"

"Get the hell back here!!!"
