Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!I hope you will support a lot!!

――――――――――――――――

The sun is still there, still in the same cafΓ©, in the same location.

Su Qing looked at Bai Yi, who was sitting opposite, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't Fang Nan come with you this time?"

Bai Yi shook his head slightly and did not answer.

Now his mother Bai Yuehua is already planning to make a comeback in the music world, and at the repeated invitation of the program director, she finally nodded and agreed to join. However, if you really want to participate in the recording of the show, there must always be some specific matters to discuss, such as the recording price of an episode, and the recording time, and some unknown things behind the show still need to be discussed by the agent.

Therefore, Fang Nan and Bai Yuehua are a little busy these days, and it is not a simple matter to make a comeback.

Bai Yi's gaze fell on the slender man sitting next to Su Qing, the man was wearing pure black glasses, the lenses were very large and thick, and he could see that the power was very high, and his eyes flickered, which was quite embarrassing.

This time, it was Bai Yi who invited Su Qing, the purpose of which was to hope that Su Qing could introduce him to an editor of a publishing house.

As the editor-in-chief of the literary magazine "Time", Su Qing must be very clear about the magazine and the publishing industry, which is why Bai Yi specially asked Su Qing to introduce him to an editor of a publishing house.

The slender man is none other than Song Ming, the editor of the Literature and Art Publishing House.

"Bai Yi, you specially asked me to introduce you to an editor of a publishing house, this time Xiao Song accompanied me to meet you, but it gave me a lot of face. I said I asked you before, shouldn't you also agree?"

Su Qing had said to Bai Yi before that the Writers' Association wanted to invite Bai Yi to join, but Bai Yi didn't have much idea and had no plans to join the Writers' Association.

Su Qing had already told Bai Yi many times about this matter, and Bai Yi used his age as a reason to shirk it every time, but now it was not good to refuse again, so he could only smile and nod.

"Aunt Su, if you say that, I can only agree. ”

When Su Qing heard Bai Yi's words, he glanced at Bai Yi and said with a smile: "Listening to how much you seem to have been wronged, even the chairman of the Yangcheng Writers Association knows about your poems, and asked you to join the Writers Association by name." ”

Su Qing also knew that Bai Yi and Song Ming had something to talk about when they met this time, and they didn't mention much about joining the association, so he reached out and patted Song Ming on the shoulder, and said: "Xiao Song, he is the responsible editor of the Literature and Art Publishing House, I have known him for many years, he is a very good person, he is still young, you call him Brother Song." Although the Literature and Art Publishing House is a publishing house that has just developed, it has launched many bestsellers in recent years. ”

Bai Yi naturally knew about the Literature and Art Publishing House, and he knew something about it before he came, although the Literature and Art Publishing House was not as good as some old publishing houses, but in recent years, the Literature and Art Publishing House has indeed made great progress, especially paying more attention to the excavation of new authors.

"Brother Song. Bai Yi was not too restrained, and shouted with a smile.

Song Ming was a little embarrassed, in fact, he came over only because of Su Qing in the first place.

He naturally knew Bai Yi, and he also knew that Bai Gongzi, a young poet who had been very popular on the Internet recently, but he didn't pay much attention to poetry.

However, before he came, he had seen a few poems written by Bai Yi, and the newcomer who had just debuted, even if he had published poems and a collection of poems on "Time", it was not enough to publish a personal poetry collection?

Song Ming already had the answer in his heart, and now he was thinking about how to reject Bai Yi tactfully. After all, Bai Yi is only thirteen years old, and he is still very young, so he can't hit Bai Yi's self-confidence too much.

Bai Yi smiled and thanked Su Qing, took out two stacks of paper that were not too thick and had been printed from the schoolbag, and had already ordered, handed them to Song Ming, and said, "This is the novel I just finished some time ago, Brother Song, how about you take a look." ”

As he spoke, Bai Yi handed another one to Su Qing.

When Su Qing heard Bai Yi's words, she couldn't help but be stunned, she was very surprised, and said with a smile: "I thought at first that you were planning to publish your own poetry collection, but I didn't expect that you wrote a novel and planned to publish it. ”

"I really didn't expect you, Bai Yi, to write novels. If your fans know, the teenage poet Bai Gongzi will be surprised to publish a novel. ”

In fact, Su Qing said this only lip service, but he didn't care about it in his heart, even if Bai Yi could write novels, it might be those campus romance novels.

Such an old-fashioned subject matter, if it can't make people shine, it is impossible to publish it at all.

Song Ming didn't say anything, if Bai Yi really just planned to submit, then he must take a good look, and he must not be biased because of his relationship with Su Qing, after all, the Literature and Art Publishing House has always paid attention to the quality of works.

Song Ming raised his glasses and flipped through the novel that Bai Yi handed him, and the first thing that entered his eyes was a few handwritten words, and the font was very beautiful.

"The dedication of Suspect X?"

Su Qing's eyes froze, and he read the name suspiciously, feeling a little strange.

The dedication of Suspect X?

Isn't it a clichΓ© campus romance novel?

Su Qing didn't speak, continued to look down, and read in a low voice: "How far can you love someone if you love someone? What kind of encounter can you sacrifice your life without regrets?"

"The end of logic is not the ideal country of reason and order, but the love that is dedicated with life. ”

Su Qing looked at the previous introduction in a daze, and suddenly looked up at Bai Yi, her lips moved slightly, she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, she knew that Bai Yi was young enough to write such a sentence.

I just don't know what the content of this will be like.

On an autumn day in Yangcheng, the warm sunlight still falls on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the cafΓ©, flickering and jumping, and the lazy afternoon is even more quiet and peaceful in such a cafΓ©.

Bai Yi didn't like to drink coffee, so he stirred the milk in the cup slightly, took a few sips, and raised his head to look at Song Ming and Su Qing, neither of them spoke, just kept reading the novel quietly.

Quietly, only the sound of paper flipping over.

For a long time, for a long time......

Su Qing took off his glasses, rubbed his reddened eyes slightly, let out a long sigh, and sighed softly: "It turns out that a person loves someone, and he can really love to such an extent." ”

Hearing Su Qing's words, Bai Yi couldn't help laughing.

Su Qing looked at Bai Yi, looking at the young and immature face, she really couldn't understand why Bai Yi would write such a novel, this is not a campus romance novel at all, nor is it an ordinary romance novel, but a mystery novel, and what is even more amazing is that the story perfectly combines reasoning and love.

How is it possible to write such a wonderful story at the age of thirteen!

"Aunt Su, don't look at me all the time, your eyes are too scary. ”

When Su Qing heard Bai Yi's words, she was amused, glanced at Bai Yi, and said, "You are scary, okay, it is really scary to be able to write such a wonderful novel." ”

Bai Yi smiled and said, "Whether it's poetry or novels, I'm just a storyteller. ”

"The Life, the love in The Ten Commandments, and the wait in Mistake are all the same story, including the current Dedication of Suspect X. ”

Storytellers?

Su Qing didn't speak, her mind kept thinking, and she still clearly remembered everyone and every plot in "The Devotion of Suspect X", including the words when the mystery was revealed at the end.

Su Qing turned his head to look at Song Ming, who had not spoken, and saw that Song Ming was still staring at the novel, and was silent for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Xiao Song, what do you think? ”

Wonderful?

Hearing Su Qing use these four words to describe "The Dedication of Suspect X", Song Ming couldn't help but nodded.

"This "The Devotion of Suspect X" is obviously a mystery novel, but it is different from other mystery novels. Different from pure literature, mystery novels should not only focus on storytelling, but also have both accident and rational layout. The design of the ending or mystery has always been the biggest charm of mystery novels. The charm lies in the foreshadowing of the characters, the time and place of the events, and even the use of narrative devices to give the reader a preconceived impression, and finally the impact and surprise that comes when the mystery is solved. ”

However, Bai Yi's "The Devotion of Suspect X" is obviously different, there are only nineteen chapters in total, and the first two chapters give who the prisoner is, the process of the crime and the results of the crime are displayed, and it can be said that all the mysteries have been revealed. ”

Su Qing listened to Song Ming's words, couldn't help nodding, and also said: "The reader thinks that the mystery is already known, and the later story should be a contest between the police and the criminal, but the real mystery is not revealed by the suspect X, but by the word 'dedication'." ”

"This novel is so wonderful that after its publication, it will definitely become a classic masterpiece of mystery fiction. ”

After sighing at the wonderful and ingenious design in "The Devotion of Suspect X", Song Ming was slightly excited, staring at Bai Yi with burning eyes, and said with some excitement: "Bai Yi, you must hand over this novel to the Literature and Art Publishing House for publication and distribution." ”

Bai Yi smiled, as soon as he asked Su Qing, he naturally believed in Su Qing's vision.

Su Qing also nodded and said, "Bai Yi, don't worry, the Literature and Art Publishing House will definitely not let you down." This "The Devotion of Suspect X" is sure to be a big hit. ”

"I believe that your fans will be very shocked when they read this novel, it turns out that the young poet Bai Gongzi can not only write love poems, but also write such wonderful love novels. In Su Qing's eyes, "The Devotion of Suspect X" is not a simple mystery novel, but a mystery romance novel.

"Yes, the cover of the novel can directly use the previous introduction. ”

Song Ming has now tried his best to get this novel published, saying: "The end of logic is not the ideal country of reason and order, but the love that dedicates one's life." ”

Although "The Devotion of Suspect X" is an unpopular mystery novel, it is not a mystery novel in the traditional sense.

Actually, what is more important is the word "dedication".

Bai Yi saw that Song Ming and Su Qing liked it so much and attached importance to this novel, and he was also very happy in his heart.

At least, after the story is told, someone likes it.
