"Yes, blame me, blame me for not paying attention to the traffic when I crossed the road......" Although more than a year has passed, Jiang Ruofeng still remembers the situation on the night of the car accident. Was it really that he didn't pay attention to the traffic passing by when crossing the intersection?

At that time, the driver who caused the accident was clearly parked there and waiting for him, a well-planned car accident, even if he was lucky enough to avoid it, what about the next time?

"If it weren't for that car accident, I wouldn't be where I am now. I talked about a girlfriend named Sun Ying before, and she had already reached the point of talking about marriage, and I didn't want her father to be the governor. When I first went to her house to meet her parents, her parents were very polite at first, but then they heard that I was from the countryside and kicked me out of the house on the spot. Not long after, when Sun Ying came to me, she was taken from the station by her mother and her new boyfriend, and they haven't seen each other since. A few days later, on my way back to my room, I was hit by a hired murderer. Although his life was eventually saved, he was half-crippled and suffered a concussion at the time. Sun Ying also broke up with me half a year ago, and because of physical reasons, I was fired by the company a few days ago. I have experienced so many accidents at once, and I am still alive and well, and I will look at you again, but I just encountered a little economic crisis and began to think crankily and doubt life. Look at your age, can you be more mature! ”

Zhong Suyu was stunned when she heard this, she never thought that the person in front of her would have such a wonderful life experience. Still, it's the same question: "Your plight is indeed sympathetic, but what does it have to do with you trying to fund me?"

"I don't know, maybe I just want to help you. Of course, there are other factors in it. ”

"What factors?"

"Don't look at me as if everything is normal now, as if nothing is going on, in fact, my physical condition is far from being as good as it seems. Although I was lucky enough to survive the car accident, my body has deteriorated day by day, and I obviously feel that my spirit is getting worse day by day these days. The head also hurts every now and then, and the lower limbs become more and more numb. If this continues, there will be only two outcomes, either paralysis or ....... I don't really know how much time I have left, maybe five years, maybe three years, maybe less. So, I want to do more meaningful things before the end of my life to make my life more worthwhile. In this way, even if that day does come in the future, I will not feel sorry. If my half-crippled body can help you solve some of your difficulties and help your mother and you realize your dreams, it can be regarded as another continuation of my own life! ”

When I heard him say what happened to him just now, Zhong Suyu didn't feel much shocked, let alone caused her much emotional change. However, in addition to the sadness, she also heard a deep helplessness and pathos from the light words just now.

For the first time, she stared very formally at the face of the man in front of her, the one that always had her trademark smile.

This person is at most eight or nine years older than himself, and he is definitely not old. However, she saw on his face a kind of vicissitudes that should not have belonged to a man of his age, as well as the confusion and desolation hidden behind the smile.

He told himself not to despair, not to be lost by the predicament in front of him. But it turned out that he himself was really a desperate and confused person.

"Now, are you going to refuse my help?"

"I don't look like I can say no anymore."

"Indeed."

Zhong Suyu finally hesitated and nodded: "Okay, I'm willing to accept your funding." I have three conditions, though. ”

"Isn't it, someone is willing to fund you for free, but you still have to put forward conditions?"

"If you don't agree, I won't accept your funding."

"Let's talk about it."

"First, I can't accept your funding completely for free, you fund me, and I will return all the money I earn in the future."

"Okay, say the second one?"

"Second, if you help me, then I will also help you do what I can, you can't refuse."

"Okay, then you'll wash mine when you wash your clothes."

"Thirdly, and most importantly, you must live well. I don't care what your physical condition is, but you must live to be eighty years old, otherwise, who will I repay you in the future. ”

"Well, no problem. However, eighty is too long, and I think it will be almost enough to live to seventy. ”

"No, you have to live to eighty."

Under the intoxicating moonlight, Jiang Ruofeng and Zhong Suyu suddenly laughed together. The sound of light laughter, mixed with the night breeze, swayed gently in the moonlight flowing through the courtyard.

Both of them laughed heartily and open-mindedly.

It turns out that when you let go of the baggage in your heart, you will find that there is nothing in this world that you can't get over.

As long as hope and faith still exist in the bottom of my heart, whether it is loss or despair, I will gradually let go in that refreshing laughter, and finally disappear.

It was a long time before the two of them stopped laughing. Then Zhong Suyu asked a very serious question: "You said you wanted to fund me, but you were fired from the company, how can you fund me?"

"There will always be a way, I'm an undergraduate graduate of the Literature Department of Xiyuan University, so I won't starve to death. By the way, I suddenly had a good idea, and I went about it. ”

"What thoughts?"

"I'm going to be an online writer."

"Coders?"

"Yes."

Since then, Jiang Ruofeng has started his writing career by living in a cramped rental house with the only old laptop he has.

Of course, this is just a side hustle. He also took a job as a graphic designer from a small advertising agency.

In this way, I designed advertisements during the day, and when I went back at night to eat a quick snack and began to stay up late to code words, basically every day until about early in the morning.

However, there is always a gap of 108,000 miles between the ideal and the reality.

If you can succeed casually, then success itself is meaningless.

For one reason or another, Jiang Ruofeng's first book was never signed on the website because of the wrong genre, improper narration, too long scene description, not vivid enough atmosphere rendering, and the old-fashioned main story line, most importantly, lack of imagination and lack of coolness.

I applied for a recommendation and a contract with the website again and again, and in the end, I was rejected without exception. He also went to other people's book review areas to advertise privately, causing everyone to ban his right to speak.

However, Jiang Ruofeng never gave up, he revised the manuscript over and over again, and rearranged the chapters again and again.

Although applying for referrals and signing contracts was never successful, he was not discouraged. Instead, we face failure after failure with more enthusiasm, as well as a hundred times more courage and confidence.

Every day when he opens the website client, he will be extremely happy as long as he increases the click-through rate.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and at the time of 600,000 words, he received a signing text message from the website.

That night, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.

Therefore, there is nothing to fail for a while, as long as there is hope in the heart. Someday, you'll get a happy ending.
