Just as several people were about to sit down for dinner, they suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but say curiously: "It's lively today. Who is here again? I'll open the door and take a look."

When Zhao Shucheng opened the door, he saw Qiao Simei standing outside the door, wearing fashionable clothes or underwear, with jeans on her lower body and high heels on her feet.

"Simei, why are you here?"

Qiao Simei said unhappily: "Brother Zhao, don't you welcome me? Then why don't I go back first."

"No, I'm just a little strange. Your elder brother and sister are here. We are preparing to have a meal. You can go together too!"

Qiao Simei then turned dark and said with a smile: "I knew you wouldn't let me go back with an empty stomach."

"You, you!"

Qiao Simei said as she walked, "Brother Zhao, how do you look at my outfit today?"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "It looks pretty. You are dressed so beautifully. Have you been in love recently?"

"No, I dress so well, just for myself and my family."

Qiao Yicheng and the others also saw Qiao Simei. Ye Xiaolang was a little curious about the other party's identity, but Qiao Yicheng looked at Qiao Simei angrily.

"Qiao Simei, have I told you that you should not wear such strange clothes in the future. Why do you still wear them to make me embarrassed?"

"Why are you wearing strange clothes? People now wear this kind of clothes abroad, and I don't embarrass you."

Qiao Yicheng said: "I am not a guardian, and I can't care about how people from abroad wear it, but you can't wear it like this. Don't make these fancy things for me in the future."

When Ye Xiaolang heard the conversation between Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Simei, he realized that the fashionable girl in front of him was actually Qiao Yicheng's other sister.

Qiao Simei also noticed that there was another person by the dining table. She looked at Qiao Yicheng curiously, then looked at him, and said, "Are you my future sister-in-law?"

Qiao Yicheng was stunned, and Ye Xiaolang quickly waved his hand and said, "No, Qiao Yicheng and I are friends."

"It's okay, I'm a friend now, just keep going."

Qiao Yicheng said, "Qiao Simei, don't get messed up here. After dinner, hurry home and change your clothes."

"I got it. Old-fashioned."

Because they are not very familiar with each other, they are a little boring when eating, even if they are the living treasure Qiao Simei.

Even Qiao Simei looked at Ye Xiaolang from time to time and followed Qiao Yicheng, and always felt that the two of them didn't look like people who could walk together.

After drinking and eating, Qiao Yicheng rushed Qiao Simei to go home first.

Qiao Simei was going to leave, but when she saw Ye Xiaolang secretly glance at Zhao Shucheng, she immediately didn't want to leave.

She always felt that Ye Xiaolang looked at Zhao Shucheng with something wrong, and then saw Qiao Sanli and Qiao Yicheng not finding anything. She was worried that her sister would suffer losses, so she was so pestering her to be here.

Zhao Shucheng said: "Yicheng, Simei is willing to be here, so let her be here. Anyway, we are just chatting freely. Let Simei listen, maybe what can we learn from it?"

Qiao Yicheng sighed and said, "Okay, but Qiao Simei, be honest, do you know?"

"I understand, I promise to be honest and not say anything. Is this okay?"

Qiao Sanli smiled when she heard this. She didn't think her sister could really do it.

"Okay, Simei, you and your elder brother and the others will sit first, I'll cut some fruit."

Seeing Qiao Sanli go to the kitchen to cut fruit, Qiao Simei sits beside Zhao Shucheng, making Ye Xiaolang unable to sit next to Zhao Shucheng, and then said, "Okay, you guys talk."

Because Ye Xiaolang is here, Qiao Yicheng is not good at saying anything, so he can only let Qiao Simei be here.

Ye Xiaolang looked at Qiao Simei, then looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Zhao Shucheng, our newspaper has always wanted to interview you, but we have never had a chance. I wonder if I can have this honor?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "Sorry, I really don't want to accept an interview. After all, there is nothing to report, right?"

"How could it be that your novels are very popular at home and abroad, especially the latest songs of ice and fire, which has caused a great response abroad. We all want to know, for what reason did you create such a Western-style work?"

"There is no reason, I just thought of it, so I wrote it. Moreover, the stories of power struggles have emerged one after another for five thousand years. However, there are precedents from ancient people. If you want to create good works and even satisfy the Chinese people, it is very difficult. After all, you can know the thirty-six strategies without saying them, but you can understand them a little."

"On the contrary, although their history is not short, they have never had a thought of unification, but were influenced by the ancient Greek city-state system. Unlike in China, the idea of ​​unification is integrated into the entire history. Although there is no country that unifies Europa, there is actually no centralized system from top to bottom. Instead, it has always been a development model of a city-state system."

"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, we were not unified. There were more than 800 princes, even a little more scattered than the city-state system of Western countries. However, our country transitioned from nomadic to the farming stage very early, so the population was firmly linked to the land, and coupled with the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, we could reduce population mobility by minimally. On the contrary, Western countries, due to the influence of the city-state system, coupled with the land area and eating habits, cannot be completely self-sufficient."

"They have two choices, one is to expand their territory and the other is exchange. But they pursue a method of prey on the weak. If they don't have one, they will rob them, and only if they can't rob them will choose to exchange. Because without mutual communication, they will not be able to grow and grow. Even if there is a unified country, they will soon fall apart."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Seeing that everyone else is staring at him, Zhao Shucheng continued: "It's a bit too far-fetched. The Song of Ice and Fire is a powerful play written in this kind of city-state system. This may look good abroad, but in the eyes of the Chinese people, if there is no premise for great unification, this is a flaw. After all, the idea of ​​great unification has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people since the Qin destroyed the six kingdoms. No matter what dynasty, as long as you have lofty ambitions, you will take it as your responsibility to unify the world and end the war. On the contrary, there are very few Western ideas. Outside the Roman Empire era, Napoleon was the only one who wanted to unify the world. But he eventually failed because of the constraints of Western countries."

Of course, the real creative concept of the Song of Ice and Fire is not what Zhao Shucheng said at all, but since Zhao Shucheng chose to plagiarize, he naturally had to give a logically self-consistent reason.

When Ye Xiaolang heard Zhao Shucheng say this, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Shucheng again. He didn't know how his family background was, but since he could have such a house, it meant that it was not very bad. Moreover, he was a top student who graduated from Jinling University. He was handsome and his income was even more important. While others were still worried about their lives, they had already started to earn US dollars.

Such a man is undoubtedly the ideal partner in the minds of many women. Unfortunately, he was engaged long ago, otherwise he would have taken the initiative to pursue Zhao Shucheng.

Although Zhao Shucheng only occasionally glanced at her, Ye Xiaolang always felt that when he was stared at by this eye, his heart would be beat faster inexplicably, and even felt a little red in his face.

But because Qiao Yicheng and his sister were there, she could only lower her head and pretend to record Zhao Shucheng's words to cover up something wrong with her.

Although Ye Xiaolang covered up, all this could not be hidden from Qiao Simei who had been staring at her. She felt that Ye Xiaolang must have been attracted by Zhao Shucheng, otherwise it would be impossible for him to suddenly turn red when Zhao Shucheng was talking.

When Qiao Simei was about to say something to Qiao Sanli, she saw that there was only Zhao Shucheng in Qiao Sanli's eyes, and she didn't notice that her man had been targeted by others.

She couldn't help but sigh, thinking that her sister was too uneasy. Her man was missed by others, but she was still ignorant. What if someone seduces Zhao Shucheng in the future?

Several people gradually began to talk about some of the current literary styles from Zhao Shucheng's writing. From the scar literature that began in the 1980s, reflection literature, reform literature, and later root-seeking literature and avant-garde literature.

Qiao Simei was confused when she heard this because she was only in high school and did not like reading books. Instead, she liked watching TV and those celebrities, and knew nothing about these literatures.

Seeing the discussions enthusiastically, she couldn't help but look at Qiao Sanli and found that although she didn't say much, she could occasionally discuss with Zhao Shucheng and the others.

At this moment, Qiao Simei really regretted that she didn't study hard at the beginning, so she couldn't keep up with chatting with people now, and she didn't even know what they were talking about.

The few people chatted for a long time, which made Qiao Simei a little bored and even yawned.

Zhao Shucheng noticed Qiao Simei's appearance, looked at the time, and said, "Let's just stop here today. It's getting late, and Simei is a little sleepy."

When Qiao Simei heard Zhao Shucheng talk about her, she quickly sat upright and said, "No, it's just what you said, I don't understand."

"If you read more books, you just don't listen. Now you know the importance of learning, right?"

When Qiao Simei saw Qiao Yicheng want to teach her a lesson again, she quickly said, "Brother, stop talking. I really regret it now, but it's too late. By the way, let's go home early. The second brother and dad might have been waiting for us to go back at home!"

"Okay, you always have some fallacies. Zhao Shucheng, then we'll go back first."

"Okay, I'll send you there."

In fact, Ye Xiaolang didn't want to leave so early. After all, although he had a little chat with Zhao Shucheng, it was still somewhat not enough to write a manuscript. But he came with Qiao Yicheng. If he said he would stay and not talk about others, Qiao Sanli would definitely not be happy.
