Chapter 475: Regardless of the outcome
The 26th Nebula Awards were held at the University of Spokane University Astronomy Hall in Washington, USA, hosted by the American Science Fiction Association.
The Chu River flew directly to Washington State and stayed at the hotel.
Due to the problem of jet lag, Chu He had a good sleep after eating enough to get used to it, and it was noon the next day after waking up.
Liu Qiang and the others also got up, discussing where to play later, and they still have to take a good look when they go abroad, after all, the Nebula Award will only start after tomorrow.
Chu He originally planned to go to play with them, but he received a text message from Liu Zhiqing: "Chu He, I'm also coming to the United States, guess where I am." ”
Chu He was stunned for a moment, Zhiqing also came? Isn't she going to work?
"Really? Where are you? Chu He was a little overjoyed, this was too unexpected for him.
"Guess what, stupid." Liu Zhiqing was very naughty, which made Chu He's heart itch.
Chu He thought for a while, Liu Zhiqing was not an ordinary person, she should find out where she lived.
"Hotel Parklia?" Chu He asked, this hotel is the hotel where he stays.
"Guess right, it's a pity that there is no reward, it was your president who told me, I'm next door to you." Liu Zhiqing doesn't tease Chu He anymore.
Chu He was pleasantly surprised, right next door? This president is too cool, isn't he? I came directly to the United States to live next door to myself.
Chu He hurriedly went to knock on the door next door, the door opened a crack, and Liu Zhiqing, who was smiling like a flower, looked at Chu He provocatively: "Who are you?" ”
"I'm your man!" Chu He laughed, squeezed in and pressed Liu Zhiqing against the wall to kiss him, kissing this little goblin!
Liu Zhiqing hugged him with her backhand, and the two obviously didn't meet again after a long absence, but they were both very moved, as if their spiritual milk was blended.
After kissing Chu He for a while before letting go, Liu Zhiqing gasped and glanced at him: "I don't have to work for you, you have to win the Nebula Award." ”
"Okay, good, no Nebula Award, my future daughter will be in love!"
"Phew, that's my daughter too!"
The two of them are reluctant to separate. After a long while, Chu He took Liu Zhiqing to go shopping, appreciate the exotic customs, and also met Liu Qiang and them.
A group of people are naturally happy and eat all over Washington State without a break.
When he returned to the hotel after dark, Chu He decisively "lived" with Liu Zhiqing, and Chu He also proposed a live broadcast to have a good time with fans.
"It's not good, there will be someone to lead the rhythm of the two of us live together." Liu Zhiqing was a little worried, she was just Chu He's childhood sweetheart on the surface, but she ran to the United States to support Chu He, and she was still live broadcast in a room, and the rhythm must be flying all over the sky.
"Afraid of what? Why don't you just announce it? We're going to get married anyway. Chu He didn't care at all, he had never thought of being an Internet celebrity and a star, and it was an accident that he got to where he is today, so it's a big deal to quit the entertainment industry.
Liu Zhiqing slapped him: "You can't ignore the rhythm now, at least you have to receive the Nebula Award, and everything is up to me." ”
Liu Zhiqing became domineering, and Chu He could only give up the live broadcast and instead send a Weibo to "report safety". Liu Zhiqing couldn't help but sneer when she saw him depressed, and then shyly replied to the bathroom: "Husband, do you want to be together?" ”
Damn, the president is getting more and more sultry.
One night of spring love, needless to say.
The next day, we had something to do.
Although the Nebula Awards will only start tomorrow, Chu He is going to take a look today, familiarize himself with the venue, and meet some sci-fi people or something.
Liu Zhiqing didn't follow, she couldn't go to the venue without receiving an invitation, so she could only wait at the hotel.
Chu He went to Spokane University with Yuan Huaying and Liu Qiang.
The University of Spokane is not as well-known as Harvard and Yale, but it is a proper mecca for the world's top academics, having already hosted several Nebula Awards.
In the astronomy hall of Spokane University, Chu He met a Chinese man, who was Mr. Ma Ruiran, an Australian translator.
Ma Ruiran was dressed in a straight suit, with gold-framed glasses, and a slight sign of hair loss, and the whole person looked very gentle, belonging to the older generation who were very bookish.
However, his mind is very young, and his heart is not old.
"Chu He, are you born to write books, why are you so powerful?" Ma Ruiran was a little familiar, smiled heartily, and generously hugged Chu He.
He had already seen Chu He's photos, so it was not surprising to see Chu He so young and handsome.
Chu He also hugged him and thanked him for his translation, otherwise "Poetry and the Sea I" would not have today's results.
Both admired each other and spoke for several minutes.
Some foreigners nearby were looking at Chu River in surprise and whispering.
A bearded man in his fifties strode over and asked Ma Ruiran in English: "Is he Chu He?" ”
Ma Ruiran nodded, introduced Chu He, and also introduced the bearded man.
The bearded man is Australia's famous science fiction champion, Mr. Gray Eggan, who recommended "Poetry and the Sea I" in the first place, which triggered a scramble for Western science fiction literature.
Chu He didn't expect the literary master to be so rude, and his beard covered his chin. But this rudeness is not annoying, but rather approachable.
"Mr. Egan, thank you for your recommendation." Chu He shook hands with Egan, and Egan applauded: "You are really the same as the photo, and your English is very pure, did you grow up in the UK?" ”
Chu He is invincible, his English is fluent, and he is a gentleman.
"No, I taught myself." Chu He was "modest".
While they were talking, some foreigners came over, and they were really curious about the Chu River.
Almost everyone present had heard of Chu He's name, but none of them had seen him, so they came over to greet him.
Everyone is polite, and the literati atmosphere is strong, which makes people very comfortable.
After that, Chu He invited Ma Ruiran and Egan to dine together, as a thank you.
A day passed like this, and later, Yuan Huaying found Chu He and chatted about tomorrow.
Yuan Huaying went to see the organizer before, and she only came back now.
"Chu He, you are going to give a speech on stage tomorrow, although I don't know if it is a long-form award or a nomination award, but it is definitely going to be on stage, and the organizer asks you whether you speak Chinese or English." Yuan Huaying was slightly excited.
"They have simultaneous interpretation, right?" Chu He asked.
"Yes, you can do whatever you want, it depends on your personal wishes." Yuan Huaying rubbed her hands.
"Then Chinese."
"Okay, I'll let them know in advance and let them arrange simultaneous interpretation."
The sky was getting dark, Chu He and his party went back to the hotel, and after tonight, the Nebula Award was about to start.
There will definitely be a large number of media members tomorrow, and Chu He is a focal point.
But Chu He is also a, he is not nervous at this time, and he still has to talk to Liu Zhiqing.
Liu Zhiqing hammered him several times: "Don't fool around tonight, rest well!" ”
"Just a moment, cleanser or cherry mouth." Chu He does not let go.
Liu Zhiqing is angry and funny, are men like this? It's really a lower body animal.
"You are obedient, after tomorrow, whether you get the Nebula Award or not, I will have children with you, not drinking." Liu Zhiqing's tone softened, and her expression was ashamed.
Chu He's heart warmed: "Okay, go to bed obediently." ”
