"Little Yezi, happy birthday, one step closer to the age of twenty, are you afraid?"
The caller is a best friend of Ye Chi junior high school, when he took the high school entrance examination, he was admitted to another high school in the same province, and today is a good friend's birthday, there is no gift, and the greeting must arrive.
"Aren't you going to be fast, anyway, people all over the world are growing old with me, what am I afraid of?"
Ye Chi answered the greeting of his good friend, and curiously opened the mouth of the plastic bag with his other hand and took out the books inside.
"You're so noisy over there, are you in KTV?"
"Ahh
The voices of two people rang out at the same time.
"What's the matter, I said noisy, you don't need to scream so loudly, your ears will be deafened by you. β
"No, Yuanyuan, you know me, what am I holding in my hand now?" Ye Chi's voice was mixed with surprise, excitement, and shock.
"Phone?"
"Yi Shui'an's new book! Yi Shui'an's new book!"
"Huh?" As a best friend, Yuanyuan naturally knew Ye Chi's admiration for Yi Shui'an, and occasionally paid attention to it, "What's so exciting about this, it's not normal for someone to give you her book as a gift on your birthday?"
"Oops, I'm talking about a new book, the new book "Half-petal Lotus" that hasn't been released yet, and the announcement says that this book will only come out at Christmas, do you understand?"
"It's not listed? You mean, someone got the book for you ahead of time?"
"Yes. β
"Who, so powerful?"
"I don't know, the book is in a plastic bag, hanging on the doorknob of the private room, there seems to be a note inside, you wait ......" Ye Chi took out the note from the bag, and saw that it was bare, only four words were written, and there was no signature. "Only Happy Birthday was written, no name. β
"It must have been secretly sent by a boy who had a crush on Ye Beauty. Yuanyuan quipped.
Ye Chi's mind quickly flashed over the helpless but affectionate face, and then he felt irritable in his heart, and said, "Maybe someone deliberately sold it to me, wait for me to enter the house and ask." Ye Chi thought of another boy, and also hoped that it was that boy.
"Okay, I'll make up for your birthday, well, happy birthday, it's getting more and more beautiful. Little beauty. β
"Each other. β
Hanging up the phone, Ye Chi couldn't wait to open the book, she still couldn't fully believe this fact, just turned the first page, and saw another more shocking picture. I saw that the title page of the book read: "Happy birthday to Hachi." May I be happy all my life. Love is not in the way!--Yi Shui'an"
Yi Shui'an signed autographs and personally wished himself a happy birthday!
This, how is this possible?
Ye Chi quickly flipped back, making sure that this was not a funny trap, whether it was the table of contents of the book or the content behind it, it revealed a genuine and genuine temperament. It is almost certain that this is indeed Yi Shui'an's new book.
I have paid close attention to this book before, and Qianhong and Yi Shui'an have explained the style and content of this book. What's more, Ye Chi, a hardcore book fan who has read all of Yi Shui'an's works, can come to a judgment that he is inseparable after browsing the catalog.
Now the only question is, who exactly is hanging the book here, silently?
A hissing roar came from the various private rooms, and Ye Chi, the little birthday star who was in the midst of a hustle and bustle, suddenly felt a little confused, the gifts brought by the people in the room had been handed over to him as early as the beginning, although he may have prepared some surprises for himself, but it would definitely not be this book.
After looking around in vain, he carried the book into the room, and was shocked to find that everyone in the room was looking at her, and he stood in the center of the room with the microphone in hand, smiling and walking towards him, and then the prelude to "Exclusive Memory" sounded at the right time, and an exclusive performance was staged.
At this time, Yu Xiaoshu in the next room had already finished shouting the song "Love When You Die", and sat silently in the corner of the sofa, like a frosted eggplant, Liu Jingting looked at him with a smile, and had the heart to say two words of comfort, but finally held back.
For Liu Jingting, this kind of emotional entanglement and love pain of high school children is really lacking in freshness, from a certain point of view, they are in the second period of secondary school, in their hearts, they actually enjoy this faint sad feeling, quite a kind of "everyone is happy, I am alone" melancholy temperament, which is very in line with the personality pursuit of a single emotional boy.
β¦β¦
Towards the end of the singing, there was a small episode, after Sun Xinyang and Yu Xiaoshu sang the last positive "Run", they invariably said: "Today I want to thank a special person ......"
Seeing this, Liu Jingting hurriedly got up and said: "This song actually has such a polite ending, it is sung very well, no thanks." β
Sun Xinyang and Yu Xiaoshu smiled when they heard this, then realized something, suddenly turned their heads to look at each other, and asked in unison, "Who do you want to thank?"
At this time, the KTV waiter knocked on the door to urge people, and Liu Jingting waved his hand and said, "Let's go." β
A few people just walked out of the door of the private room, but they met Ye Chi and the others again, Yu Xiaoshu's face changed slightly, and then recovered, Liu Jingting looked like he didn't see it, and turned his head sideways to talk to Sun Xinyang and Su Nanhong.
Then the handsome boy in Ye Chi, with a gloomy face, walked up to Yu Xiaoshu with the book and asked coldly, "Is this book your ghost?"
Yu Xiaoshu raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard Ye Chi shouting: "Liu Kai, what are you doing?
Zhao Kan, who was walking side by side with Yu Xiaoshu, said with a smile: "Hey, I said that you are in the way, selling books and looking for the study committee." β
The boy named Liu Kai ignored Zhao Kan, stared at Yu Xiaoshu blindly, and continued to say cruel words: "I sue you, don't make these small moves with me, books are sold everywhere, don't work hard for your hospitality." β
Yu Xiaoshu said lightly: "I never knew what books were, and I didn't know what you were doing standing here, if it's okay, go first." β
"You don't know?" Liu Kai sneered and said, "Since you don't know, then I'll tear it up." Saying that he was about to tear up, Yu Xiaoshu didn't look at it, he walked sideways, Liu Jingting saw him tearing up the book, his face changed slightly, but it was not easy to stop it, he shook his head and sneered, and said: "I finally understand the meaning of Sven sweeping the floor, it turned out that after tearing up the article." The waiter has to sweep the floor. β
Liu Kai became more angry when he heard this, and rushed to Liu Jingting, Sun Xinyang and Yu Xiaoshu did the same thing again, and they took a step forward at the same time, blocking Liu Jingting behind him.
Although Yu Xiaoshu is thin and tall, Sun Xinyang is burly and strong, and the two of them are tall and strong standing in front of Liu Jingting, with a deterrent force, Liu Kai was shocked. He casually glanced at his companion, and sure enough, three or four boys came out and stood behind him.
Ye Chi was already crying at this time, pointed at Liu Kai and said, "Did you just celebrate my birthday like this?"
Liu Kai felt that his team had grown, and he had more confidence in speaking, and said, "I don't want someone to harass you all the time." β
Yu Xiaoshu cried when he saw Ye Chi. He sighed. Said: "I really didn't make this book. If I had the ability, would I still allow you to stand in the way like this?"
Liu Jingting, who was blocked behind Xiaoshu and Sun Xinyang, couldn't help laughing, he would never have thought that in such a situation, he would actually be protected by two boys. Aside from Yu Xiaoshu and Sun Xinyang, he walked in front of Liu Kai, and said softly: "If you are like this, you will lose a lot of points." After saying this, his face suddenly changed, he was so cold, and he said coldly: "You have no reason to cause trouble, and you have asked such a group of people to block the road and rob," and paused technically, "I will sue Mr. SΓΉ." β
As soon as these words came out, a small number of people present couldn't help laughing, and Zhao Kan even commented directly: "Brother Ting, what you said is really weak." β
Liu Jingting smiled and said, "Let's go, sing a song and you're going to encounter these things, Xiaoshu, if the book is really yours, you might as well say it directly." β
Yu Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly spread his hands and said, "If it were mine, do you think I would be so stupid not to admit it?"
The two cooperated so tacitly that the classmates behind Liu Kai whispered: "It seems that it's really not, it's a misunderstanding." Then Ye Chi snorted, covered his mouth and ran out of the door, Liu Kai glanced at Liu Jingting and the others, then looked at the book in his hand, and without waiting for his companion to remind him, he turned around and chased out.
Yu Xiaoshu whispered, "Why bother", I don't know whether to say Liu Kai or himself, in short, a storm has dissipated.
β¦β¦
Returning to the dormitory from KTV, everyone tacitly did not express any opinion on what happened just now, after Liu Jingting quickly washed up, went to bed, set the bed table, turned on the computer, and opened the "Mandarin Duck Knife" document.
This short story is less than 35,000 words, it is an outright comedy, and some commentators in later generations called it "the humorous picture of the rivers and lakes", and it is also a small test of Mr. Jin Yong's writing of witty characters, among which the four heroes of Taiyue have faintly had the shadow of "Six Immortals of Peach Valley".
[Our eldest brother is the Yanxia Shenlong Xiaoyaozi, the second brother is the two-handed stele Changchangfeng, the third brother is a meteor catching the moon and the sword shadow, and the next is eight steps to catch the toad, Saizhuanzhu, stepping on the snow without a trace, flying on the water with one leg, and covering the seven provinces with double thorns......]
The "Four Heroes" confidently and loudly reported a series of titles of their own family, but the result turned out to be a group of lowly martial arts and nonsense people, seeing them stealing chickens and rice, seeing their words after being beaten up and down, and seeing their self-deception and self-comfort, all of which made people laugh and smile.
Although I have read it more than once, and now I read it again, I still can't help but feel gimmicked, in fact, readers who are familiar with Jin Yong's works are estimated to be no strangers to Jin's "Hun people", Liu Jingting himself has written an analysis article for the most immortal Hun people in the history of martial arts - the old naughty boy Zhou Botong.
Liu Jingting finished writing this story as early as the beginning of December, and according to his promise to Lu Yichou, today is the day to submit the manuscript, and also according to the promise, he will leave the end of the manuscript.
The most impressive thing about "Mandarin Duck Knife", in addition to the "Taiyue Four Heroes", is the divine turn that surprised many readers.
At the birthday banquet, the male protagonist Yuan Guannan and the heroine Xiao Zhonghui's mother and son recognized each other, and staged a martial arts version of "Thunderstorm", after the heroine learned that the male protagonist was actually her own brother, she was heartbroken, ran out of the house, and was captured by the No. 1 villain.
Seeing this, there must be many readers who are worried about it, only to say that this story turned out to be a classic "made a big circle, and it turned out to be a brother and sister".
Then, the author puts the finishing touches on a twist that unexpectedly turns the whole story around.
And what Liu Jingting wants to do now is to cut off the story at the moment of the tragedy - the heroine saw the male protagonist recognize her mother and son with her own eyes.
[Xiao Zhonghui heard Yuan Guannan call out "Mom", his body shook, and he almost fell, and only one voice sounded in his head: "It turns out that he is my brother, it turns out that he is my brother...... He's my brother......"]
At this point, it came to an abrupt end, and then satisfactorily opened the mailboxes of Lu Yichou and Yi Shui'an. (To be continued)
