Liu Jingting didn't know the boy sitting in the hall waiting for him at all.

The boy was wearing a camel-colored roll-neck trench coat, his hair was dyed, his beard was particularly clean, and he looked handsome, looking like a fashionable and calm big boy.

Liu Jingting immediately guessed who the visitor was, adjusted his expression, and stepped forward to say hello: "Hello, I'm Liu Jingting, are you looking for me?"

The boy raised his head from a magazine, did not answer immediately but carefully examined Liu Jingting, then got up, stretched out his hand, and introduced himself very politely: "Hello, I'm Wang Wenjun, I don't know if Xiaomi has mentioned me to you, but she often mentions you to me." ”

"Mentioned, mentioned. Liu Jingting said busily.

Wang Wenjun smiled deeply, and then said, "You look a little different from the photo." ”

"Oh, that picture may have been photoshopped. ”

"NO, NO, I mean, you're more handsome than the pictures. ”

"You're handsome too. ”

"Thanks, go out for a drink?"

"Okay, but I'm new here, so I'm not familiar with it yet. ”

"It's okay, I'm familiar. ”

So the two of them went to a nearby moonbuck coffee shop.

After ordering, it was a period of awkward adaptation that belonged to the unique relationship between strangers, although Liu Jingting had the souls of two worlds and a vast masterpiece, but the problem of unnatural communication with strangers still existed, especially in the face of the person in front of him.

Liu Jingting turned his head to look out the window and saw a blonde girl standing on the side of the street talking on the phone, waving her arms. Ranting into the phone, he should be arguing with his boyfriend.

"Well, how long have you known Xiaomi?" Wang Wenjun was the first to break the silence.

Liu Jingting hurriedly withdrew his gaze. After thinking for a while, he said: "It's been five years, I met in the third year of junior high school, when she was an editor in "Dajianghu". ”

Thinking of this, Liu Jingting himself was shocked, and in a blink of an eye, five years had passed, and his great business of promoting books seemed to have just started.

"That's right. You are a writer. ”

Liu Jingting smiled and said, "Codeword." ”

"Be humble, I bought your copy of The Little Prince. It's very good, our school also did a musical "The Little Prince", I heard that you have a lot of works in China? Unfortunately, I don't like novels very much, and I rarely read domestic novels. Either they disagree and use knives and guns, fight and kill. Either you and me, what kind of youth pain and sorrow, etc., it's really okay to accept it. ”

"Personally. Of course, Liu Jingting could hear the meaning of the other party's words.

At this time, the waiter brought the coffee, the conversation between the two people was suspended, and Liu Jingting took the opportunity to send a short message to Mi Hu: "There is something temporary, meet later." ”

A few seconds after the text message was sent, Mi Hu replied: "The plan has changed. My mother wants to see you. ”

Liu Jingting frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "Do you want to see your parents again?"

"Did you receive a text message too?" Wang Wenjun asked suddenly.

"Huh?"

Wang Wenjun pointed to his mobile phone. said, "Aunt Fen said that she would ask us to have a meal together in the evening. ”

Liu Jingting nodded with a smile and said, "Mi...... Xiaomi told me. ”

Regarding Hu Xiaomi's matter, Wang Wenjun reacted that it was called a sensitive, and when he heard Liu Jingting call "rice", he was immediately curious, and his brain made up intimate titles such as "Mimi" and "Mier", his heart was like a pinprick, and he quietly took a sip of coffee and asked: "You just called Mi, what is Mi?"

"Oh, her name as an editor, Mi Amber, it's called Habitual, don't you know?"

"Yes, yes, Miamber, yes, yes. ”

Then there was silence again, Wang Wenjun solved the problem of salutation, but Aunt Fen called for dinner, and it was Xiaomi who informed him, did it mean that they had been in contact for a long time, or had they been in contact all along?

Wang Wenjun took another sip of coffee and asked, "You have always been in touch?"

"Yes, I was supposed to go to Times Square together, and it was a coincidence. ”

Wang Wenjun's hand shook, his face was no longer calm, he put down the coffee cup, wiped his mouth with a tissue, looked at Liu Jingting, and said, "I guess you have also guessed my purpose for looking for you, and I won't waste time, just say it, give up Hu Xiaomi." ”

Liu Jingting looked at Wang Wenjun with interest, and did not answer, indicating that he did not understand.

"I don't know if she mentioned it to you, I married her on the finger, maybe you think this practice is a bit outdated, but I tell you, before I knew about it, that is, when I was five or six years old, I thought she was my bride, and then my parents told me about it, and I was even more convinced, so you have to give up her. ”

Liu Jingting subconsciously scratched his ears, and suddenly didn't know how to communicate with the person opposite, and angrily accused him, as if it was unnecessary, sneering a few words, as if it was even more unnecessary, and said nobly and coldly, "You don't have a chance", as if it was too pretending.

Liu Jingting was very embarrassed, and then said: "You can't make me give up anything or catch something, because, to be honest, we are actually not familiar with each other, that is, we are very familiar, if you dare to let me give up a girl, I may have to duel with you." ”

"Duel, yes. "Wang Wenjun is fast.

"You can tell it's a metaphor. ”

"But I'm serious. Wang Wenjun's expression was indeed very serious, "You should understand that there are many things in this world that cannot be replaced, for example, the days when we grew up together, we went to kindergarten and elementary school together, we were all together, no matter how famous you are, how much money you have, how many shocking stories you have written, you can't erase these things, you can't replace them, do you admit it?"

"yes, it seems that the five years we have known each other have been the same. ”

Wang Wenjun's face sank and said, "You don't seem to understand what I mean." ”

"Understood. ”

"No, you still don't understand, as a public figure, you are so arrogant as a third party, it is not good for your reputation, now that the Internet is becoming more and more developed, it is too common for a post or a Weibo to ruin a celebrity, isn't it?"

"This ...... It's a threat, right?"

"It's a statement of facts. ”

Liu Jingting shrugged. "Your definition of a third party is too crude......

"Liu Jingting," Wang Wenjun interrupted, "you are a writer. I don't play word games with you, barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, you must know the sentence, of course the duel is a joke, but once this happens, there will be a post on the Internet detailing how a famous writer can be a third party and how to break up the story of a couple, I know you are doing a magazine now. It seems to be done well, what impact do you think this post will have on you and your magazine after it comes out?"

Liu Jingting also sank his face. Asked: "Isn't the first thing you think about what this will do to Hu Xiaomi?"

Wang Wenjun was speechless, and then said: "You can use a pseudonym." ”

Liu Jingting was completely speechless, the episodes in TV and novels were all about a president finding a poor boy and throwing a bunch of money and a sentence of "give up XXX" to him. Then the poor boy threw the money back. replied with a backbone: "It's amazing to have money, don't think that you can do whatever you want with a few stinky money." ”

What's going on now?

"It's up to Hu Xiaomi to decide this matter, I think we'll talk about it here today, and we'll talk about it the rest of the night. ”

Liu Jingting distinguishes the appearance and color, and feels that if he continues, Wang Wenjun is likely to flip the table, and when he talks about this, he already feels that this matter is bloody enough. Go on, and you can't even end it.

Wang Wenjun also seems to realize that he is a little out of control. After a slight adjustment, he continued: "And Xiaomi, she is older than you, you don't want others to say that you have a sister plot, right?"

Liu Jingting remembered that there was a time when the scandal between him and Yi Shui'an was spread on the Internet, and he also said "Sister Lian", so he got up with a smile and said, "What do you say about this, see you at night?"

"What are you going to do?" Wang Wenjun asked vigilantly.

"Go back to the hotel to sleep, you have to reverse jet lag. ”

……

Liu Jingting really slept in the hotel, and slept until eight o'clock in the evening, completely missing Hu's mother's dinner, and his mobile phone was called by Mihu until it ran out of power.

In the middle, Yang Lilu came over and shouted once, confirming that he had been sleeping and did not forcibly disturb him.

After Liu Jingting woke up, he suddenly remembered the matter of going to the banquet, took the mobile phone to look at the time and found that it was turned off, quickly took out the charger to charge, and after opening the mobile phone, he found more than 30 missed calls, six text messages, and clicked on the text message to see that the last one was: "If you don't come, you can call and text back, what is this?"

Liu Jingting scolded himself a few words, regretting it, since he did "Craftsman Record", his spirit has been maintained a high degree of tension, reviewing, approving the process, learning to operate the daily affairs of the magazine, writing the serialization of "Shuke and Beta", writing the serialization of "Breaking the Sky", and the serialization of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng...... After getting off the plane, Lu Xiaofeng, who had just finished writing six chapters, was dizzy, and came back from the coffee shop, with the intention of taking a nap, but he didn't expect to rest for so long, it was a big rest, a huge rest.

How do you explain it now, saying that you fell asleep? Liu Jingting sighed and dialed Mihu's phone, but the phone was turned off, and then replied with a text message: "I'm too tired, I'm asleep, I'm sorry, after the game, I went to apologize to my aunt in person." ”

Naturally there was no response, Liu Jingting put down his mobile phone, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and decided to go to Times Square by himself, the reason why Liu Jingting missed this square was mainly because of his favorite American drama "Friends", when this series ended, New York Times Square specially set up a projection big screen to show the finale, nearly 3000 people collectively watched the show, and the scene cried into a sea.

What a spectacular scene was that? Liu Jingting even thought that when "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was filmed in the future, the ending would be the same.

At night, Times Square is bustling with colorful neon tubes and colorful billboards that show the spirit of the bustling commercial district, while the trailer of the TV drama reminds everyone that there is also Broadway.

Liu Jingting walked around alone for nearly an hour, and then he got lost......

……

From the next day, the drama contest officially kicked off, lasting for three days, and Mi Amber has not replied to the text message.

On the first day, France and Germany, Germany won by one more point;

The next day, China and the United States, "Romeo and Juliet" moved the audience, except for the stage table xiàn deducted 1.5 points, all the others full score;

After the second day, the rankings were, China, the United States, Germany and France.

On the third and final day, Britain and Russia, the Russian drama tells a story of war and parting, the main plot is similar to Pu Shu's "White Birch Forest", and in the end it also scored eight points, second only to China.

Then, Hamlet finally appears!

This time, whether it is the props, costumes or stage sets, they are basically restored according to the original book, and the actors' performances are also close to the extreme, like all previous performances, the audience was in great shock as soon as the drama was halfway through.

Genius and philosophical lines, shocking imagination, and treacherous ups and downs of the storyline...... If the Chinese drama took the love story to the pinnacle, then this drama almost raised the drama to a whole new level.

It's not a competition at all!

When the curtain rises on Hamlet, there is silence, and even those who don't understand drama realize that the play is unusual—at least they can see it from the expressions and admiration of others.

The stage lights were on again, the actors took the stage to take the stage, the judges did not react, someone in the audience took the lead in a standing ovation, then others followed suit, and finally the judges also stood up, and the admiration of several countries staggered!

The judges all gave up the scoring and directly used their hands to draw the score.

Full marks for all!

The applause from the audience rose higher and higher.

And that's not the climax of tonight.

After the crew of "Hamlet" stepped down from the stage, the host came to the stage, did not say too much nonsense, and directly threw out a news that shocked the audience again: "I believe that everyone is the same as me, still immersed in this great story, "Hamlet" deserves a full score, and everyone will have no objections, and I believe that everyone still remembers the second place "Romeo and Juliet" in this competition, that poignant and unforgettable love story?

That's right, now I tell you that in this World Drama Competition, the first place "Hamlet" and the second place "Romeo and Juliet" are from the same author, he is from China, Mr. Liu Jingting!"

The chasing light accurately covered Liu Jingting's body in the audience, and everyone in the audience cast shocked and speechless eyes on the Chinese boy!

Including Mi Hu who is still angry, including Mi Hu's mother who is still indignant, including Wang Wenjun who is still proud of Liu Jingting's failure that night.

Under the call of the host, Liu Jingting got up with a smile, and when he moved, the eyes of the audience also moved.

The first time this was done was in the Vientiane Auditorium, in front of tens of millions of elephant students.

And this time, it's on Broadway in the United States, facing the world.

Tonight, almost all of America, heard his name.
