Looking at the subscription data in the author's background in a daze, Chu Tianxing's face was full of bitterness.

It has been 24 hours since the new book was put on the shelves, and the highest subscription for a single chapter is fixed on the number "77", and there has been no change for a full hour.

Twenty chapters on the shelves, the total subscription is also a very coincidental "777", and the average subscription is only equal to about 39.

After staring at the two numbers for a long time, Chu Tianxing blinked his dry eyes and laughed at himself:

"Although the data is a bit bleak, at least it is not zero ...... subscriptions"

Picking up the rice bowl resting on the computer desk, I took a bite of the caviar bibimbap that had been cooled, only to feel that the big white sturgeon caviar that could still be eaten in the past was bitter in my mouth at this time.

Isn't it really subscription zero?

In addition to the friendly subscription of those author friends in the street group, among the 77 high-level subscriptions, is there a real reader?

Putting down the tasteless caviar bibimbap, he took out a bottle of Macallan Whiskey [Real Wine] from under the table, uncorked the bottle, and refined the remaining small half bottle of wine in one go, Chu Tianxing let out a long breath, wiped his mouth, and muttered to himself:

"Ten years on the streets...... Am I really not talented? Ten years later, it's time to let go of my dreams or something...... It's time to go home. ”

Putting down the bottle, he took out his phone, hesitated for a while, and dialed his father's phone number.

The phone was quickly connected, and Dad's low, slightly tired voice came from the receiver:

"Tianxing, why haven't you slept so late?"

"Dad. Chu Tianxing's lips twitched twice, and he said astringently: "I...... Failed again. ”

"Oh. Dad sighed: "You've been writing novels for ten years......, haven't you? Perhaps, what has been proven?"

"Hmm. I know. I've come to my senses. I do ......" Chu Tianxing pursed his lips, with some unwillingness, mixed with a little relief, and said the latter words: "It's not the material for this business." ”

Dad: "Figured it out?"

Chu Tianxing: "I figured it out." I've spent ten years doing what I love, and I'm not going to be willful anymore. ”

"Okay, then you can come back. ”

Dad's voice was still low and tired, but with a little joy:

"Go home and rest for a while, if you want to start your own business, I'll give you a billion to practice first. If you just want to go to work, come to the group headquarters, start with my secretary, I have been very busy recently, I often work overtime until midnight, you come back, just to help me deal with some trivial matters...... By the way, I'll send someone to apply for a flight right away, and send our plane to pick you up. ”

After ten years of willfulness, my father still loves me so much!

Chu Tianxing's nose was sour, and his voice was a little choked: "Forget about my own plane, it's too high-profile, I'd better take the plane back by myself." Just book me a first class......"

After chatting with his father for a while, Chu Tianxing put down the phone, took one last look at the author's backstage, resolutely closed the computer, washed and slept.

......

In a trance, there was a sudden feeling of the sun shining on his face.

Chu Tianxing wiped his face in a daze, and muttered in his heart: "I remember that I closed the curtains before going to bed, how could the sun shine in?"

I wanted to turn over and continue to sleep, but I didn't expect this turnover, and I was empty, and I fell to the ground with a pop.

Chu Tianxing was excited, turned over and sat up, opened his eyes and looked around, only then was he stunned to realize that he was not in a rented small apartment of one hundred and twenty square meters, but in ......

Park?

Beneath him was the soft grass and beside it was a bench on which he had slept at the moment.

"What's going on?"

Chu Tianxing stood up, patted the grass stalks and mud dust on his body, and looked around blankly:

"Am I not sleeping? Why did I get to this place somehow? Is it a dream? But if it is a dream, this dream must be too realistic, right?"

Just as I didn't know why, a strange metallic sound faintly came into my ears.

Chu Tianxing hesitated slightly, stepped on the tree-lined path in front of the lawn, and walked over with the sound.

Dozens of steps forward, the vision suddenly opened up.

A small lake is in front of you.

There were a few swan boats floating on the lake, and there was a faint sound of young men and women laughing from those swan boats.

A kind old lady, wearing a practice uniform and holding a two-handed sword, was dancing by the grove by the lake.

The old lady walked steadily, her posture was elegant, and she looked like a dance. But when the long sword stabbed out from slow to fast, there was always a vigorous metal clang, coming from the long two-handed sword.

Chu Tianxing looked at the old lady dancing the sword in a daze, feeling very unreal:

"The sound of the sword, the sound of the sword stabbing out with the hard sword of both hands, can it be heard so far that it can be heard in the forest and grass dozens of steps away......? It's a dream, isn't it?"

Just when it was unbelievable, a young male voice in the middle of a voice change period came into his ears: "Hey, you guys are so unrighteous, why don't you wait for me to come, and then drive the boat away?"

Chu Tianxing followed the prestige, and saw a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old, standing on the edge of the lake and calling at a swan boat on the lake.

Hearing his call, a bright girl's face popped out of the swan boat, and she smiled and beckoned to the young man: "Who told you to be late? Come over yourself!"

Chu Tianxing thought that the girl was asking the boy to swim over, thinking that it was just a joke between friends.

But he never expected that the young man listened to the girl's words, and actually bent down to take off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trousers, and then stepped into the lake barefoot with his shoes in his hands.

Then Chu Tianxing watched the young man treading water, and when the soles of his feet touched the water, there were clusters of white lotus-like splashes, and he walked through the water surface for dozens of meters step by step, and went to the swan boat.

Chu Tianxing could see clearly, when the young man tread water, when his feet entered the water deepest, they only reached his ankles.

“......”

Chu Tianxing blinked blankly: "The lake is only ankle deep? impossible...... There are several boats floating around......"

He looked at the old lady who was still dancing with her sword by the woods by the lake, and then at the swan boat where the boys and girls were, and the swan boat with bursts of laughter and laughter, and he didn't know where he was for a while.

"I'm definitely dreaming. ”

He was muttering to himself, and just as he was about to pinch himself, he heard the phone ringing on his body.

I took out a simple and old mobile phone from my trouser pocket, and unexpectedly found that this was actually a button mobile phone, although the screen was a color screen, it was pitifully small, only half of the fuselage.

"This is an old model from more than ten years ago, right?"

looked at the mobile phone in surprise, and then looked at the word "pig" on the caller ID, Chu Tianxing's heart moved, and when he pressed the answer button, he heard a crisp female voice sound:

"Chu Tianxing, where are you? You said that you would accompany me to sign up for the martial arts conference, why didn't you wait for me at home?"

Listening to this familiar and unfamiliar voice, Chu Tianxing hesitated for a while: "Are you ...... Qin Ling?"

"Huh?" The crisp and energetic female voice on the phone suddenly raised an octave, and shouted with a sense of indignation: "Chu Tianxing, what do you mean? Actually use a question sentence? Don't you save my phone on your phone? Even if you don't save my phone, can't you even hear my voice?"

The corners of Chu Tianxing's mouth twitched slightly.

Yes, that's the momentum.

This girl is Qin Ling, who has been in the same class as him from elementary school to high school.

Because she is half a year younger than him, her zodiac is a pig, and her face has always had pink baby fat when she was in elementary school, so Chu Tianxing has always called her "Pig Pig".

But......

Since being admitted to a different university, Qin Ling once flew over from the city where her school was located to find him and talk to him, and the two hardly contacted him again.

What's going on today?

Qin Ling, who has not been in touch for many years, why did she suddenly call?

How can the voice sound the same as in high school, crisp, energetic, and imposing?

Also, what about "signing up for the martial arts tournament"?

It's a bizarre dream, isn't it?

Countless doubts made Chu Tianxing slow to reply.

But Qin Ling on the phone not only didn't get angry, but after "hey" twice, her voice became softer:

"Tianxing, are you okay? You won't still be depressed because of the college entrance examination, right? But didn't you say that? This time in the college entrance examination, you just got sick and didn't play well, so you failed the exam, haven't you already decided to repeat your studies for a year and fight again? When you made up your mind, you were very imposing. Won't you be depressed about what has already passed?"

College entrance exam?

Still smashed?

How can it be?

Although Chu Tianxing boasted that he was only handsome and mediocre, and he was far from being able to learn gods and scholars in high school, he was admitted to a key university in the college entrance examination that year.

However, Qin Ling, who originally had key strength, only barely passed the first line because of her poor performance, and she didn't want to repeat her studies, so she applied for an ordinary college.

Why is it the other way around here?

So it's really a dream, right?

"Where are you now?"

Seeing that Chu Tianxing still didn't reply, Qin Ling's voice sounded a little panicked.

Chu Tianxing pondered for a while, and finally spoke: "I'm in a park." ”

Qin Ling hurriedly asked, "Which park?"

"I don't know. ”

Chu Tianxing looked around, rummaged through his memory, and did not find a similar small lake in which park in his hometown city in his memory, "There is a small lake here, and there are some swan boats on the lake." ”

Qin Ling immediately said: "I know where you are, don't walk around, wait for me to come over." ”

Hanging up the phone, Chu Tianxing thought about it, turned on the camera of his mobile phone, and chose the selfie mode to aim at himself.

Looking at the white and handsome young man on the screen, Chu Tianxing raised his eyebrows: "Sure enough, it's what he looked like in high school...... By the way, I'm not going to be born again, am I?"

Although he is extremely suspicious that he is dreaming, how can he be so lucid in his dreams?

But if it's not a dream......

The old lady who stabbed the sword with a sword, the young man who walked on the water and was no more than his ankles, and what Qin Ling said about "smashing the college entrance examination and martial arts conference", what is going on?

I pinched myself gently, and the pain was very clear.

Leaning over to pinch off a piece of grass, sniff it gently, and there is a distinct fragrance of grass into your nose.

Walking to the lake, squatting down, and reaching into the water, it feels real.

I took out my phone again and glanced at the date on my phone, it was indeed the date after the college entrance examination that year.

"So, not a dream, but a rebirth......? High school days?"

Chu Tianxing stood by the lake in a daze, his thoughts in a disorder.

I don't know how long it took, Qin Ling's exclamation suddenly came from the other side of the lake: "Chu Tianxing, don't you think about it!"

Chu Tianxing was stunned, looked at the other side, and saw a beautiful girl with long legs and short hair wearing denim shorts and a short-sleeved T-shirt, with crystal white skin, staring at herself with a nervous face, while striding into the lake, stepping on the water, and rushing over.

This beautiful girl is even more outrageous than the young man who tread the water just now, and when she runs on the lake, the soles of her feet are not submerged in the water, and it seems that her shoes are not wet.

Obviously, she is Qin Ling.
