Early in the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhuang Yan woke up in the hotel and entered the world of "The Man Who Stole Shadows" again last night.

Levi replaced Mag's shadow during his outing, and Zhuang Yan also changed Mag's shadow in a daze.

Ma Ge's shadow was a little timid, he ran to Li Wei on his own initiative, but he ran to Zhuang Yan passively.

He wanted to be Li Wei's shadow, but he was full of fear of Zhuang Yan, he didn't expect that there was a person as special as Li Wei, who could steal other people's shadows, and the most important thing was that Zhuang Yan was a person, he didn't know anything about it.

In the face of Mag's shadow, Zhuang Yan teased him, but he was not very interested in having in-depth communication with him, in other words, Zhuang Yan was not very interested in the big stupid Mag.

Mag's shadow, although he also looks disgusted with his master, is essentially no different from his master, even if he is taller than other people's shadows, but it still can't hide the cowardice in his heart.

However, the frequent replacement of the shadows of the characters in the book made Zhuang Yan feel like he was playing a copy. He had a hunch that he might have to change the shadows of the slightly important people in the book.

Zhuang Yan is also happy to do this, because in this way, he can fully understand the characters in the book, and it will be convenient for him to move the book to this world in the future. But being so deeply integrated into the book will naturally affect Zhuang Yan's later creations, and the "Man Who Stole Shadows" in his hands is destined to be no longer the same book as Mark Levy's "The Man Who Stole Shadows".

Now Zhuang Yan basically has the mentality of taking one step at a time, how to write this book, he still has no clue, and he does not have a complete outline, so he can only let things develop, and when all the dreams are finished, he may have inspiration.

At the same time, he was still attached to the previous book "Kafka by the Sea", and I don't know why, the book suddenly stopped and started the plot of "The Man Who Stole Shadows". He also couldn't figure out whether "Kafka by the Sea" would continue later, or rather, just break it like this?

When Zhuang Yan woke up, it was close to eight o'clock, he hurriedly got up and finished washing, and he didn't bother to eat breakfast before he called Wang Lijian and them, they have a task today, and Kang Youwei is still waiting for him to invite them.

went to ask Kang Youwei about their affairs, and they had already called in advance yesterday to inform them, and Kang Youwei also knew that Zhuang Yan was going to visit today. The reason why I said it in advance was to be polite, and secondly, to prevent Kang You from leaving for them to have something to do, and his own people went over to pounce.

During this New Year's month, it's normal to have a relative.

However, people like Kang Youwei and Gu Hongming are much more likely to sit at home and wait for others to visit, than they are to go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings.

The famous Gu Hong, Zhuang Yan, Ma Yinchu, Liang Qichao, Wang Lijian and Yu Hai, who went first, went over in a group of five.

Gu Hongming's family lives in the villa of Building 13, it is said that Gu Hongming has received a Western education, so he naturally knows that 13 is not a good number, but he Gu Hongming has always been afraid of heaven and earth, so naturally he doesn't care.

Speaking of this number, we have to mention a small episode when choosing a house in the first place.

When the "professor area" of Yenching University was first built, there was no villa No. 13, and it jumped directly from No. 12 to No. 14, that is to say, the original sign of this No. 13 building was actually No. 14.

The school is also concerned that many of these professors have stayed abroad and may be taboo, so they made this design very intimately.

But after Gu Hongming knew about it at the time, he ran to ask Yan Fu, the principal at the time, why he didn't have Building 13, and jumped directly to Building 14, Yan Fu explained to Gu Hongming with a smile. But Gu Hongming said that why should our Chinese academic institutions accommodate other people's foreign cultures, which is a bad example in itself, and he hopes that Yan Fu can change this design. And he also said that if others are taboo, he will come to live in this Building 13.

Gu Hongming said this, Yan Fu didn't say anything, and asked the school's workers to change all the digital signs starting from Building 14, so that there is now Building 13.

Zhuang Yan knocked on the door, it was a middle-aged woman who opened the door, and when Zhuang Yan was wondering who the woman in front of him was, Wang Lijian introduced intimately next to him, "Zhuang Yan, this is Mrs. Rongzi." ”

Hearing Wang Lijian's introduction, Zhuang Yan knew who this person was in front of him. I have long heard that there is a young Japanese concubine in Gu Hongming's family, and when I saw it this time, she was really young, and it was estimated that she was about the same age as Gu Hongming's child. Zhuang Yan bowed and said, "Hello Mrs. Rongzi." ”

Wang Lijian introduced to Rongzi again, "Mrs. Rongzi, this is Zhuang Yan. ”

Rong Zi smiled, "Of course I know Mr. Ziyan, and I have read several of your books." Mr. Wang, Mr. Ma, Mr. Liang, and this gentleman, come in, the master is waiting for you upstairs. ”

The "gentleman" in her mouth is talking about Yu Hai, Liang Qichao, and Rongzi have all seen them, so they know, only Yu Hai she doesn't know.

While talking, several people entered the door, and when they saw the empty living room, Zhuang Yan asked, "Today is the third year of junior high school, is there no one at home to visit?"

Rongzi, who led the way in front, said with a smile: "Originally, there were a few juniors who were coming, but the master heard that you were coming, so he pushed them all away, saying that he wanted to meet you alone." ”

"I'm really embarrassed to come here suddenly, delaying Tang Shenggong's visit. Zhuang Yan said apologetically.

"No, no, those juniors also see each other often, and the lord himself said that it doesn't matter if he sees it or not, but when he hears that you are coming, the lord is in a good mood. Rongzi said.

Rongzi took a few of them to a room on the second floor, then turned around and said, "Master is waiting for you inside, I'll go down to prepare tea for you, you can go in first." ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Rongzi, let's just go in by ourselves. ”

This is Gu Hongming's study, he usually likes to stay in the study, and he also likes to meet guests in the study.

Zhuang Yan knocked on the door first, and Gu Hongming's voice came from inside, "Come in." ”

Only then did they push the door in, Gu Hongming sat on the chair by the window, saw Zhuang Yan and them enter, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "You can sit by yourself, don't be restrained." ”

Waiting for a few people to sit down, Gu Hongming said: "I have probably guessed what you are doing here, the boy of the Zhuo Ru family worships under your door, it is indeed a beautiful thing, you just have to say which day it is, and I will go directly when the time comes." ”

Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, he was still thinking about how to organize the language and tell Gu Hongming about accepting students, but he didn't expect Gu Hongming to mention it first, and directly said that he would go when the time came, and the simplicity of the matter was beyond what he thought.
