Ning Chunyan has been waiting for Chen Qingluo to discover a truth: it is very impolite to suddenly live in someone else's home for no reason.

It is now the second day that Chen Qingluo has stayed at her house. Chen Qingluo has begun to learn to take the initiative to serve meals on her own without being called.

Chen Qingluo would sleep in the same bed as Ning Chunyan at night, but she usually went to bed when she was tired from writing, and she often got tired very late, so she would wake Ning Chunyan up when she climbed into bed.

But Ning Chunyan didn't want to reason directly with Chen Qingluo, because if she told her directly, she would appear to be particularly unhospitable. And she suspected that even if she tried to talk, Chen Qingluo wouldn't listen.

This woman is now possessed. Except for creation, no matter what you say to her, those words will line up first and enter her mind, and then flow out of her mind like water. She doesn't care at all.

There is a reason for Chen Qingluo to live in her home. Because the beginning of the novel Chen Qingluo is currently writing was written in her home, so she will stay in her home until the novel is finished.

She claimed that if she rashly changes her creative environment, her state of mind will also change accordingly. When her state of mind changes, the taste of her written words will also change. This will not form a consistent creative style and will lead to a complete collapse of the novel.

Ning Chunyan didn't know if this was true, but she didn't dare to let a work that was qualified for the Mao Dun Literature Award fail for such a ridiculous reason. So she could only accept it, and at the same time pray in her heart that she could

Write faster.

Fortunately, Chen Qingluo's beauty made everything not look so bad. The Ning family quickly accepted this uninvited guest. Ning's mother would also ask about Chen Qingluo's taste and bring her favorite dishes to the table.

But Chen Qingluo was indifferent to these good intentions. She muttered and babbled every day, sometimes frowning, sometimes laughing, sometimes mumbling, sometimes walking around the room, and doing some simple actions repeatedly.

Ning's mother was very worried about her mental state. She thought about asking several times, but Ning Chunyan stopped her.

She told her that a writer is like this. Because of creation, she needs to put herself in another world. She seems to be eating on the table and walking on the ground, but in fact she is in other places and doing other things.

In other words, her body is still alive at this moment, but her soul inhabits some distant possible universe. This is the creator's privilege. It is also the creator's curse.

Every time Chen Qingluo writes a batch of first drafts, Ning Chunyan prints them out and circulates them to her parents. After Ning's father and Ning's mother finish their work, they will set aside a period of time to read and study the work, and will also ask some questions.

and opinions.

The three Ning family members became the first readers of Chen Qingluo's story.

Chen Qingluo's work is called "Beauvoir's Devotion". Beauvoir is Jean-Paul Sartre's soul mate and lifelong lover. The two live in a wonderful relationship.

Beauvoir and Sartre loved each other, but both of them were celibate. Moreover, Sartre also pursued passion. He proposed to Beauvoir that although we are each other's lifelong soul mates, I hope I can have someone else.

lover.

Beauvoir suggested that if this was the case, then I would also have other lovers. What she didn't expect was that Sartre agreed.

As a result, both of them have their own lovers. But they always believe that each other is the only one for them.

Beauvoir said when she was old, I have never been happy with such a relationship. She always loved Sartre only, and like a traditional woman, she wanted to stay with Sartre.

But whether she liked it or not, because of her romantic affairs and chaotic relationships, she was called a slut at the time.

Although they were both doing the same thing, she received more infamy than Sartre.

Later, she published some books about women's rights and was regarded as the pioneer and standard-bearer of the women's rights movement. Sartre's "gaze" theory also led to a familiar word that will be labeled and commonly used in the future - male gaze.

.

But Chen Qingluo’s book neither writes about Beauvoir, nor about Sartre, nor about men’s rights and women’s rights. What she writes is just a love story. In academic terms, Beauvoir is just a symbol. In popular terms, Beauvoir is just a symbol.

To put it bluntly, it's like selling dog meat on sheep's head.

In Chen Qingluo's book, the male and female protagonists are a man and woman who have agreed not to marry for life. The two are in Platonic love and have always kept in touch with each other. Until one day, the heroine received an invitation to the hero's wedding - and the story begins from here.

The heroine felt betrayed, but she still chose not to get married. However, the non-marriage before the hero's marriage and the non-marriage after the hero's marriage gave her completely opposite feelings. She began to feel that she was

Keep your virginity for the male protagonist, not just for your own will.

Therefore, the book is called "Beauvoir's Dedication".

In fact, the plot of the story is not the focus. Chen Qingluo is not a popular writer, or in other words, the transcendent part of her is far greater than the popular.

The valuable thing about writers is not what kind of stories they can make up, but the unique perspective they can provide. Solving problems is the job of sociologists, and the job of writers is to point out problems. Moreover, asking questions is sometimes far more important than

Solving problems is harder.

Every day at lunch, the Ning family would discuss Chen Qingluo's works at the dining table. Chen Qingluo also sat at the same table, but she always ate in silence, not listening to what they said at all. Sometimes she needed to be reminded by the Ning Chun Banquet,

You won't get food into your nose.

Ning Bingru also read Wang Zixu's "Wild Weeds", and he also gave a high evaluation to this short and medium-length novel, and sometimes even compared the two novels.

""Wild Weeds" is also shocking at first glance, but compared with Qingluo's, you will feel that the position is a bit lower, or there are too many chicken thieves. You will see that this author is aiming at

To be recognized to write.”

Ning Chunyan said: "But "Wild Weeds" also has social value. I feel that "Beauvoir's Dedication" seems to be a response to this work."

"In other words, the two works respond to each other." Ning Ma said.

Ning Bingru said: "Where does Wang Zixu plan to invest "Wild Weeds"?"

Ning Chunyan said: "He only wanted to vote for "Xihe Literature", but I wanted to vote for "Mountain City"."

Ning Bingru nodded, then shook his head: "As for "Mountain City", the level has actually declined in the past two years. I recommend voting for "September"."

Ning Chunyan frowned: "Will "September" be accepted?"

Ning Bingru said: "The level is definitely enough. The quality of some manuscripts in "September" is not as good as this."

Ning Chunyan said: "You are not talking about me, are you?"

Father Ning smiled "haha" and did not answer.

Ning Ma said: "Why not choose "Yangtze River"? This is a publication from our province, and its quality is not bad. This prince is just starting out, so maybe it will be better for his development if he chooses a magazine from this province?"

Father Ning and Ning Chunyan looked at her at the same time. Mother Ning said, "What's wrong? Am I right?"

"Mom, you are so right, why didn't I think of it?"

Ning Bingru smiled bitterly and said: "The main reason is that his level is so high that I even forgot that he is a newcomer."

Chen Qingluo suddenly raised her head, her hair fell from her mouth, her eyes widened, and she didn't know who she was talking to in the possible universe. She had no beginning or end:

"You will eventually return to your wife, and I will eventually merge with other people's lives. The era of freedom is over. Everything is irreversibly moving towards vulgarity."

…

At Wenwen's small base, which is a 40-minute drive away, thousands of books are already in place, and selected speech therapists are also arriving one after another.

In fact, when it was proposed to form a team of scripters, all the speech therapists in the group showed great enthusiasm and actively submitted manuscripts to the operators.

After a night of screening, Zuo Ziliang and Wang Zixu selected 10 finalists, and finally they were shortlisted to five, including Cheng Xing.

In the end, it was the five people standing in front of Wang Zixu.

Wang Zixu stared at the first person from the left, squinting his eyes and sizing up the 1.8-meter-tall, muscular man for a long time before he asked:

"Are you the sunny and cheerful Sakura-chan?"

The strong man grinned: "My current online name is Smart and Witty Sakura-chan. You can just call me Sakura-chan."

Wang Zixu nodded, then looked at a fair boy next to him: "Are you Xiaoba?"

The boy nodded timidly, as if he was extremely shy. His feet were a bit inward.

Wang Zixu looked at the girl chewing gum at the side. The girl had long pink hair and skin as white as a vampire. She had a pair of huge sunglasses on her face and was wearing a leather jacket. She was very cool and coquettish.

"Are you a guilty poet?"

The girl said: "Now I am a sinless poet. Just call me poet."

Wang Zixu looked at Cheng Xing, who was staring at him, feeling helpless.
