Chen Haowei's title of "Talent" originated from the military training essay last semester, and the article "Two or Three Things about Military Training" he wrote not only won the first prize of the essay, but also was published in the school newspaper, which caused a sensation among the freshmen.

Chen Haowei, who began to read various excellent essays in the third grade, has the confidence and self-confidence to afford this title, but when he faced Liu Jingting at this time, he felt a sense of weakness for no reason, and he couldn't tell the reason, it was something that belonged to some kind of momentum, and he felt that in his eyes, he was like a ...... Penis?

What made him even more confused and puzzled was that he actually thanked himself.

"Thank you...... Thank me?"

Liu Jingting smiled and nodded, and said, "Your essay is very good, you will definitely get a high score in the exam, I don't disdain you, I just don't like to talk." ”

Chen Haowei, who was asking for guilt, was suddenly held by the other party so indistinctly, and his arrogance was suddenly extinguished, and his already insufficient confidence became more and more insufficient, and he said: "My mother is a primary school Chinese teacher, so I ...... it."

"Then it's no wonder, I still remember the article you published in the school newspaper, especially the sentence 'We use sweat to forge a stronger heart' makes me remember it vividly and vividly. Liu Jingting said particularly sincerely.

At this point, Chen Haowei's posture of asking guilt was completely defeated, and he said with some embarrassment: "That, just write it blindly." ”

"Don't say that, aren't you slapping us in the face when you say this, just like Yao Ming said that he was not tall, and Liu Xiang said that he couldn't run fast, then wouldn't we become snails and earth walkers?"

Chen Haowei smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be very humorous, why do you usually communicate so little with everyone?"

"I'm a slow person, and I'll try to change it in the future. ”

"Well, also, are you really going to participate in an essay contest?"

"yes. Actually, you're right.,I'm just thinking about buying lottery tickets.,There's another idea when I write.,If you don't write, it's completely useless.。 ”

"yes, I don't mean anything else when I say that, it's just that I feel like you're not social, and I'm hurting you, well, like this, if you don't mind. You can show me the article you have written, and we can communicate with you. ”

Liu Jingting said in embarrassment: "This ...... I guess you can also see that I'm more introverted, so I'm embarrassed, so be it. If we look at it after the audition, will we be okay?"

Chen Haowei did not insist. Nodding in understanding. Returning to their seats with satisfaction, the onlookers did not see the ideal plot, and they couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

The reason why Liu Jingting turned the conflict into a jade silk so simply, instead of deliberately intensifying the contradictions, and finally slapped his face with strength, was because he really regarded Chen Haowei as a figure of the younger brother's generation. Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is a pleasure, what is the strength of pretending to be a pig and eating a cat?

Moreover, this kind of thing should not be done too deliberately.

Another point. Because Chen Haowei recklessly appeared, he suddenly thought of a more appropriate article, which is just right for the essay - Maggie's gift!

"The Gift of the Magi" is the representative work of the famous American novelist O. Henry, who is known as the father of the modern short story in the United States, and is known as the world's three great short story masters along with Maupassant and Chekhov.

O'Henry's short stories, with their ingenuity, are most notably characterized by a reversal at the end of the story, which tells the story throughout and seems to be uneventful, and at the end, the plot reversal is unexpected, but reasonable, and often surprising, and its self-created "O'Henry-style ending" has become a proper noun in the literary world.

"The Maggie's Gift" is exactly this route, the story of a young couple who exchange gifts on Christmas Eve, the wife sells a beautiful hair to buy a watch strap for the husband, and the husband sells the watch to buy a complete set of combs for the wife.

The gifts of the young couple have all become useless things, but they have each received the most precious gift from each other - love.

Novel, chic, foreign, relevant, and positive, it is simply the best choice to participate in the essay competition.

Liu Jingting in his freshman year, read the original version of this story, when a buddy in the dormitory in order to temper the style, specially bought an English version of "O'Henry's Short Story Collection", after buying back, of course, did not read, Liu Jingting in a weekend afternoon, nap woke up, bored, took it and read it, but this reading is also addictive, facing the Oxford dictionary, read all the rest of the story, the fourth level exam passed in seconds.

For the purpose of improving his English and studying literature, Liu Jingting went to the library to borrow the original version of "The Complete Works of Shakespeare" -- he left it on the bedside for forty days, and he never turned to the second page.

This is the legendary "buy or borrow your own books, and often don't read them" spell.

Fortunately, now these books have been stored in zài's own mind.

……

The Chinese version of "Maggie's Gift" is about 4,000 words, Liu Jingting returned to the bedroom at night, wrote it in less than an hour, and then downloaded the registration form, filled in personal information, and sent it to the designated mailbox in Vientiane along with the novel.

When Liu Jingting completed these procedures, Zhao Kan was still scratching his ears and cheeks thinking about the subject matter, in fact, he had already written no less than ten beginnings, and even took into account ancient style poems, such as "Vote for me with papaya, repay it with Qiong Yao, repay it with bandits, and always think it is good", or "Quiet girl, Yi I Tongguan" and the like.

Liu Jingting looked at Zhao Kan in a classic unkempt state, and couldn't help but say: "I really can't think of it, go to the balcony to breathe, or go downstairs to throw a few balls with Xiaoshu, maybe the inspiration will come at once, and writing is not milking cows, it will only be self-defeating." ”

Zhao Kan said distressedly: "It's good to milk the cow, at least there is milk to milk, my mind is blank now, and I can't find a word of those genius-like sentences." ”

"Commonly, writing is like this, the more you want to express yourself, the more you are not satisfied, or the mentality is a problem, and you have to throw away those complicated thoughts in your heart. ”

Sun Xinyang, who was immersed in the question, suddenly raised his head, stopped talking, and then returned to the sea of questions.

was chatting with Zhao Kan when he suddenly heard him shout "I thought of it", and then devoted himself to writing a new article again.

Liu Jingting shook his head with a smile, then clicked on the "Chu Liuxiang" document and began to write the sixth chapter "A Little Red Under the Sword".

In this chapter, there will be another classic character - Zhongyuan Yihong, a killer with the most expensive price, the most ruthless shot, and the most trustworthy, and his first mission is to assassinate Zhang Xiaolin, who is disguised by Chu Liuxiang.

The assassination was unsuccessful, of course, but even so. This chapter still brings to life the person of Zhongyuan Yihong, when Liu Jingting saw this name for the first time, he knew that his story would definitely not be simple, and there must be a sublimation plot in the later stage, sure enough, later Zhongyuan Yihong fell in love with the disfigured Qu Wurong, in order to protect his lover and was accidentally injured by Hu Tiehua, lost an arm, and finally the two left together, and this scene also became Chu Liuxiang's class. One of the most moving scenes for readers.

However, Liu Jingting also knows very well that basically, all the supporting characters that appear in the novel are in the final analysis to set off the protagonist. The change in the fate of a little red in the Central Plains was influenced by Chu Liuxiang after all, looking at it from another angle. His sublimation is actually still used to prove the greatness of Chu Liuxiang from the side.

Even so. The sense of existence of a little red in the Central Plains series is almost comparable to that of Ximen Blowing Snow in Lu Xiaofeng's series, which shows his personality charm.

Liu Jingting likes this kind of plot of the duel between the characters of the bull, and he is very excited to write: [A little red said: "Under my one hundred and forty-four killers, I still don't fight back, and I still smile, except for the "thief" Chu Liuxiang. There is no second one in the world!"]

A simple sentence not only named a little red self-confidence, but also contrasted with Chu Liuxiang's strength, and he should be praised for thirty-two likes.

……

The snow melts in the north, and the leaves are green in the south.

When a little red in the Central Plains appeared in front of readers, it was already the end of April. Mi Hu was about to leave for Nangang to take the exam, Liu Jingting went with him as planned, and Gong Chengen also secretly joined the team going south according to the plan.

Liu Jingting pre-purchased three plane tickets online, and Hu Xiaomi's mother wanted to be with him, but he couldn't resist Mihu's trick of "if you go, I won't go", so he had to give up.

In order to get the opportunity to take a break from school to be an editor, Mihu expediently agreed to her parents' request to go abroad, originally thinking that time had passed, and her parents would forget about it, but they insisted so much, and today it is finally time to repay the debt.

The three of them sat on the plane with their own hearts, Mi Hu was sad about the upcoming parting, Gong Chengen was nervous about the upcoming meeting, Liu Jingting was relatively calm, looking out the window, thinking of the surprise of readers to see the Central Plains, remembering the accurate comment of Tiandao Youchang "This person must have a story", thinking of the praise article of the profound Professor Chen Shirang, and of course, thinking of the Wan symbolic essay that was about to announce the results.

Unlike other contributors, Liu Jingting didn't pay attention to this matter anymore after he submitted the manuscript, perhaps because of self-confidence, or because as Mihu said, his ambition for the 500,000 bonus was relatively light.

However, he was also slightly surprised, it stands to reason that after such a novel appears, it shouldn't be so obscure, not to mention that it has caused shocks from all walks of life like "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", at least you can get an early promotion place or something.

Liu Jingting laughed silently, he was originally a person who could joke with himself, pass the time, and enjoy himself.

"So it was really right to give you a computer and a mobile phone at the beginning, and now it's starting to see benefits. Mi Hu said to Liu Jingting with a smile.

Liu Jingting smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Think of your kitchen. ”

Mi Hu thought of something, her face turned red, and she glared at Liu Jingting.

Gong Chengen interjected at the right time: "You say, what if she sees me and goes crazy directly?"

"You came all the way to see her, why would she be angry?"

"You don't know her, she doesn't like to be kept in the dark. ”

"Don't worry, he and I will have good things to say for you. ”

The plane landed in Nangang, and the three people got off the plane and just walked out of the airport, they found that it was raining in Nangang.

……

Jiang Hai had a big sun at this time.

In an office in Vientiane School Park,More than 20 literary elites、Experts are screening manuscripts,Since the call for papers,All the open ten mailboxes have been exploded,The manuscripts received before and after have nearly exceeded two million,If it is any magazine with this kind of submission,It is estimated that the editor-in-chief will wake up from a dream with a smile。

The call for submissions is coming to an end, and after many rounds of careful selection by the judges, 136 manuscripts have now been selected for final ruling.

At this moment, a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses looked away from the computer screen with an incredulous expression, looked at the seniors or peers who were busy, and said, "We seem to have missed a manuscript." (To be continued......)
