Chapter 376 [Warm and Sad]
December 16, 2022.
Liucheng, Central Hospital.
Xu Qi looked at Bao Shiyi lying on the hospital bed, and then looked at the manuscript that Bao Shiyi gave her, and was a little surprised that Bao Shiyi had also written a new story in the hospital, and couldn't help asking: "Eleven, are your injuries better now?"
Bao Shiyi nodded and said: "Aunt Xu, don't worry, I'm fine, you can read this story, if you can, it should be published as soon as possible, and like the previous "Ten Deadly Sins", I also plan to upload and distribute part of it online." ”
Xu Qi has no opinion on Bao Shiyi's requirements, if it weren't for the publishing house and Bao Shiyi who have been working very happily, maybe Bao Shiyi would not have managed the publishing house at all, and directly uploaded the whole story on the Internet, which naturally has a very big impact on the physical sale of the publishing house's new book.
However, the last time Bao Eleven uploaded and published the first part of "Ten Deadly Sins" on the Internet, halfway through the upload, the story behind it was not continued to be written, but was published by Liucheng Publishing House, which also collected a lot of resentment values to a certain extent.
In addition to the sadness value, despair value, and the extra resentment value, naturally made Bao Shiyi pay more attention to such a method of revenge.
Xu Qi looked at Bao Shiyi, she was really worried about Bao Shiyi at first, but now it seems that Bao Shiyi's body really has no problems, and has gradually recovered, thinking about it, Xu Qi's eyes can't help but fall on the manuscript that has been printed.
has always been the editor of Bao Shiyi, and he is also a die-hard fan of Bao Shiyi, Xu Qi is undoubtedly looking forward to Bao Shiyi's new book, it can be said that he is looking forward to it more than anyone else, there are editors who want their authors to create more, and at the same time, fans want to write more touching stories for their favorite authors.
Xu Qi looked at the manuscript handed to her by Bao Shiyi, looked at the name on the manuscript, her eyes flashed, the name was very simple, but very interesting.
The three-word title of the book –
"White Night Walking"!
……
Xu Qi's eyes froze, and the introduction under the title of the book was only one sentence: "I just hope to walk hand in hand in the sun." ”
Xu Qi inexplicably has a familiar feeling, that feeling is really familiar, and such a sentence introduction already has a sad flavor. Xu Qi looked up at Bao Shiyi who was sitting on the hospital bed, his lips moved slightly, and he wanted to ask Bao Shiyi directly if this story was another tragedy.
"It's a sad and heartwarming story. ”
Hearing Bao Shiyi's words, Xu Qi nodded noncommittally, she really knew herself very well as the author, although Bao Shiyi said that it was sad and warm, but Xu Qi knew that according to Bao Shiyi's past style, it could not be a warm story.
However, Xu Qi didn't say anything.
At first, Bao Shiyi planned to send the manuscript directly to Xu Qi, but Xu Qi wanted to come over in person, on the one hand, because Bao Shiyi is now hospitalized, although Xu Qi had already visited the hospital before, Xu Qi wanted to talk to Bao Shiyi about the new book in person.
Naturally, Bao Eleven will not refuse.
For "White Night Walking", Bao Shiyi is naturally very optimistic, this is another wonderful masterpiece of revenge on society, and Uncle Dongye's masterpiece will naturally not be bad.
is such a story, the perfect combination of hopeless but persistent bleak love and persistent and meticulous calm reasoning, Bao Shiyi believes that this story will definitely collect a lot of negative energy values.
It is precisely because of the sadness and despair in "White Night Walking", as well as the cruelty at the end, that Bao Shiyi will choose this one to take revenge on society.
……
Because his mother had an affair with someone hired by his pawnshop at home, Dong Yuanliang ran to play in the ventilation duct of the abandoned building, but saw the unbearable scene of his father violating his friend Xue Sui, and the twisted fear and anger made him stab his father to death with long scissors at the age of 11, and then Xue Sui's mother and "mother's lover" also "died unexpectedly", and then she was adopted by Tang Ze, who lived elegantly alone.
The boys and girls who did not have a complete family spent seven years of peace after the tragedy, however, Dong Yuan Ryoji found that the case was still being investigated, and he had already begun to suspect himself and Tang Xuesui.
The two who have no family warmth, in order to prevent their crimes from being discovered, they use all kinds of means to get rid of their relatives and friends one by one.
The reason for all this is that the girl's mother forced her daughter to sell her body for money due to family embarrassment, and the unfortunate experience of her childhood made Xue Sui's soul lose its sunshine since then, and Dong Yuanliang has been secretly helping Xue Sui to take revenge on her persecutors based on various complex feelings, and at the same time helping her to eradicate all obstacles to her success step by step.
is such a story, to some extent, it is also a murder for love, which is very similar to "The Devotion of Suspect X", especially at the end of the story, the male protagonist also sacrificed his life.
However, the most desperate and vindictive thing is not just this, but at the end of the story......
……
Bao Shiyi was lying on the hospital bed, leisurely eating the fruit brought by Xu Qi, he now wanted to see how much negative energy Xu Qi, the first reader, could produce after reading "White Night Walking", especially at the end of the story.
It's been a long time, it's really a long time, more than 300,000 words, Xu Qi didn't read it quickly, but the more he looked back, the more sad he felt in his heart.
"Aunt Xu, do you want to eat some together?"
Zhou Yun bought food for Bao Shiyi, and when she saw Xu Qi, who was fascinated by the manuscript reading on the side, she couldn't help but say, "Let's eat a little together." ”
Xu Qi waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to.
When Zhou Yun saw this, she didn't bother Xu Qi anymore, so she asked Xu Qi to sit aside and watch "White Night Walking" quietly.
"It tastes good, it's really good!"
"You can taste this, and it's okay. ”
In this way, Bao Shiyi and Zhou Yunxiao ate the meal in two bites, and communicated from time to time that the dish was more delicious, while Xu Qi, who was retaliated by Bao Shiyi on the other side, had red eyes and began to wipe his tears.
"Eleven, you said before that this is a sad and warm story, not warm at all, only cold. ”
Xu Qi looked at Bao Shiyi with red eyes, thinking of Dong Yuanliang's final ending in the story, and Xue Sui's last ruthlessness, which really made Xu Qi's heart chill.
Although Xu Qi had already guessed the truth of the case earlier, in the end, the mystery of the case was gradually revealed, and it was not until the last page that the real theme made Xu Qi really feel the sting.
Xu Qi looked at Bao Shiyi, wiped his tears, and finally his eyes fell on the last sentence inside-
I saw Xue Sui going upstairs along the escalator, and her back was like a ghost. Not once did she look back. ”
Dong Yuanliang's unrepentant dedication has reached the point of risking his life, and even Xue Sui's ruthlessness is also in the plan.
It really made Xu Qi feel endless despair and sadness.
When I finally saw the ending, I was really chilling!
……
"Xu Qi, sadness +666!"
"Xu Qi, despair +999!"
While Bao Shiyi was eating, he was in a very good mood when he saw Xu Qi's negative energy value coming out of the light curtain panel, especially when he saw the sad look on Xu Qi's face, he felt that the rice was more fragrant.
Sure enough, the negative energy value is like poppy opium, and the taste is really refreshing.
"Aunt Xu, have you finished reading it, let's eat a little bit together, the food brought by Zhou Yun tastes really good. ”
When Zhou Yun heard Bao Shiyi's words, she raised her eyebrows, and muttered with some confusion: "No, it's still the same hotel yesterday, it hasn't changed." ”
Xu Qi looked at Bao Shiyi, and when she heard this, she felt a kind of indescribable sadness in her heart, she was uncomfortable here, but Bao Shiyi seemed to be very happy, and asked: "Eleven, didn't you say that this was a warm story before?"
"Why is it so cruel in the end, in the end?"
The corners of Bao Shiyi's mouth rose, his eyes were full of smiles, looking at Xu Qi's tangled and sad expression, the black swan spirit in his heart that showed his original form waved his wings happily, and said: "There is also a warm side, don't you see it, isn't Yuan Liang's love very warm and touching?"
"You, you, you're embarrassed to say ......"
Xu Qi felt that his heart was stabbed by Bao Shiyi again, he was very depressed, and said depressedly: "In the end, Yuan Liang's ending was so miserable, so ruthless, there was no warmth at all, and some were just cold. ”
"Yuan Liang's greatest wish is to walk hand in hand in the sun, but this is a luxury that can never be achieved for Yuan Liang, he can only move forward in the dark night illuminated by each other's light, in order to survive, he paid the price that he can't repay, and finally Xue Sui left so ruthlessly. ”
"You tell me where it's warm, you say!"
Xu Qi tried her best to control her mood, but some words were really uncomfortable in her heart, really uncomfortable.
Then, Xu Qi contributed a negative energy value to Bao Shiyi.
is such a negative energy value, which really makes Bao Shiyi feel that Xu Qi seems to be about to explode.
……
"Calm down, calm down, calm down, Aunt Xu, don't get excited, don't get excited, I'm still a patient, I'm a patient. ”
Looking at Xu Qi's almost suppressed roar and questioning, Bao Shiyi felt cautious and panicked, and hurriedly said weakly: "Ahem, ahem, don't be too excited, if you have something to say." ”
Xu Qi looked at Bao Shiyi and said sullenly: "Eleven, why are you writing like this, this story is really unspeakably desperate." ”
Xu Qi really felt that she was holding back in her heart, and that suppressed despair made her really uncomfortable, and she had to say it to her face to be happy.
"Since killing his biological father with his own hands, Yuan Liang's life has completely changed the trajectory, and together with Xue Sui, they may just want to keep their souls, but unfortunately they didn't keep anything in the end. There is no happiness at all, utter despair, even the last trace of warmth has been completely abandoned, this is really too sad, too desperate. ”
Zhou Yun on the side heard Xu Qi's words, turned her head to look at Bao Shiyi, she also heard Bao Shiyi say that this story was sad and warm.
But now looking at Xu Qi's sad and uncomfortable appearance, and the words he said, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a warm story.
……
Seeing Zhou Yun's gaze, Bao Shiyi silently moved to the side, squeezed out a smile, and said, "I told this story that was sad and warm. ”
"Well, yes, you think...... The male protagonist Yuan Liang has lived in a deformed family since he was a child, his father has pedophilia, and his mother has an affair with the clerk. ”
Saying that, Bao Shiyi felt empty.
is so miserable, it can be compared to his predecessor Eleven.
"But—"
Bao Shiyi looked at Xu Qi and said righteously: "However, Xue Sui is the only light in Yuan Liang's life at this time, and the library is a temporary refuge for the two of them. can imagine that Yuan Liang took the proud paper-cut to Xue Sui, and Xue Sui smiled quietly, the smile at that time was not a little fake, Aunt Xu, do you think this feeling is not warm?"
"For the sake of Xue Sui, for the sake of that light, Yuan Liang is willing to hide in a place where people can't see him as a guardian to protect Xue Sui, even if Xue Sui gets married, he wants to marry someone else. Everything Yuan Liang has done, in order to achieve Xue Sui, let Xue Sui become a queen-like figure to be looked up to. Even if he sacrificed a lot, he became the perpetrator of sin again and again, carrying the shackles of betrayal, calculation, and redemption, and living in darkness......"
The more Bao Shiyi said, the more he felt weak, and asked intermittently: "Eh, eh, that's it, isn't this Yuan Liang great?"
"And Xue Sui said, there is no sun in my sky, it is always night, but it is not dark, because something takes the place of the sun. It's not as bright as the sun, but it's enough for me. With this light, I can take night as day. ”
"I've never had the sun, so ...... So not afraid of losing. ”
Speaking of this, Bao Shiyi paused, his voice became weaker, he now has the sun, and he is afraid of losing.
……
Xu Qi looked at Bao Shiyi and said dissatisfiedly: "Then why did you let Xue Sui lose the light that replaced the sun, and you still said that this is a warm story?"
"Aunt Xu, even if Xue Sui was expressionless like a doll in the end, she replied coldly: I don't know, even if Xue Sui didn't look back once, even if the whole world collapsed, leaving no salvation, even if there was no love, no watch, no sunshine, even if there were just two children wandering alone in the dark, trapped in that dirty ventilation duct all the time......"
Xu Qi stared at Bao Shiyi like that, his eyes were sharp, as if he was waiting for Bao Shiyi's next sentence.
"Even if, even if it......"
Bao Shiyi looked at Xu Qi's terrifying eyes, and could no longer touch his conscience to say those words, his conscience felt a little embarrassed, and finally spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Eh, okay, I can't make it up......"
"I confess, I admit, I confess, this is not a sad and warm story. ”
"It's a warm and sad story. ”
