Chapter 15: The Man Without a Story (Subscription Requested)
"Look, isn't this Xu Fan from our class, you see, he bought so many instant noodles from the school supermarket and went back to the dormitory, he really loves the dormitory, and he doesn't even bother to go to the cafeteria to eat."
"Don't really say it, except for some professional classes, I really haven't seen him much at other times, this is still a classmate, so far my impression of him is only that I have heard his name, he should have some professional classes and other classes just ran away."
"yes, I don't know what he's doing in the dormitory all day."
"Hehe, you don't know what to do, I heard from the people in his dormitory, Xu Fan writes novels in the dormitory every day."
"Writing a novel? Yo, that's amazing, he's actually a writer. ”
"Writer, you have to get to know each other, ask for an autograph or something, and you can take out a copy to brag about B."
"Come on, what a writer, just a person who writes online articles on the Internet, I heard that it is published on what 'starting point Chinese network', and he earns hundreds of yuan for a month of death, and he has made himself a dead otaku." Tell me, we finally got into a university, just because when he was having fun and enjoying life, he always locked himself in the dormitory and typed on the computer screen, and he couldn't make money because he couldn't be famous. ”
"Hey, it's such a writer that made me excited in vain; Such people just like to daydream all day long, and I have seen a lot of them, thinking that I can write them one day and become famous. By the way, what kind of novels does he write? ”
"Hmm...... It seems to be called an infinite stream...... Yes, unlimited streaming. ”
"Infinity Stream, what kind of bird thing is that, you know?"
"I don't understand, I've never heard of this kind of novel, what kind of thing?"
…………
"Bang."
Xu Fan gently closed the dormitory door with his hind feet, and then put the two large bags of instant noodles in his hand under his desk. Then he opened his laptop, pressed the power button, and sat down in his chair.
"There are still two chapters to update today, and the afternoon is still full, so it seems that I can't take a nap at noon, so I have to hurry up." Xu Fan rubbed his fingers, and when the boot screen appeared, he clicked on the Word document and started today's codeword.
Since his freshman year, Xu Fan has been publishing his novels on this website called "Starting Point Chinese Network", gradually. Writing has become a state of life for Xu Fan, and he likes to indulge in the feeling of being in the world he conceives.
Because in his novels, he is the main god, who can control everything, create everything, and destroy everything, realize any of his fantasies according to his own preferences, and let his characters act according to their own ideas. In addition, he has more or less gained the support and attention of some readers, although there are not many readers, although his fame is not big. But these have undoubtedly given Xu Fan the motivation to continue his creation.
In a popular phrase now, although it is easy to be a eunuch, it is not easy to become a god, and you can do it and cherish it.
And Xu Fan is now writing a novel. The subject matter is infinite, and it is Xu Fan's favorite genre of fiction among many novel genres.
Although infinite stream novels are relatively niche, Xu Fan likes the thrill of hanging by a thread in the world of horror films; I like the kind of life and death crisis in front of it. Suspicious, betrayal, trust, friendship and other positive and negative emotions collide with dazzling fireworks; I like the kind of wonderful duel of wits and courage and strategy; I like the dance of death and survival, the collision of cruelty and warmth.
In order to write this infinite stream novel, Xu Fan deliberately took the time to watch a large number of horror movies and film reviews. I found the inspiration I needed from the world, and I also did an analysis of the pattern and plot of various horror films.
It is conceivable that a roommate who spends all day in the dormitory, does not fit in and does not like to participate in group activities, and who either types the keyboard or watches horror movies all day is undoubtedly not popular with others. In this regard, Xu Fan can only shrug his shoulders, his personality is already a little withdrawn, he is not good at dealing with people, and he can only pretend not to see his roommate's disgust with him, and now his mind is only in his own infinite flow book, as long as he writes it well.
After a chapter is coded, Xu Fan clicks to enter the starting point Chinese website, enters the author's background, and clicks to upload the chapter. Then, he habitually went to the new book list on the homepage of the book network to check the ranking of his books, and when he saw that his book was at the top of the new book list, Xu Fan smiled with satisfaction and muttered:
"This momentum is very good, let's add another chapter in the evening."
At this moment, Xu Fan's phone on the desk rang, in fact, Xu Fan's phone is a bit like an ornament, there are really not many people who usually call him, even with his parents Xu Fan is a routine call once a month.
It's just that when he glanced at the caller ID, after the name "Sun Ran" appeared in Xu Fan's sight, Xu Fan's heart unconsciously twitched, which showed the weight of this name in Xu Fan's heart, and the painful and sour feeling slowly resurfaced in his heart.
His fingers slid over the display, the phone was connected, and by the way, he pressed the hands-free button again, and Xu Fan's hands were put on the keyboard again and tapped, which was almost a habit of his.
"Hey......" a woman's gentle voice came from the microphone of her mobile phone.
Xu Fan's hand that was tapping on the keyboard stopped, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart about his incompetence, and sighed in a low voice: "I'm still here, it's really cheap." "The sound is very small and certainly won't go into the other side of the microphone and be heard by that person.
Xu Fan grabbed his mobile phone, canceled the hands-free, put it to his ear, took a deep breath, and said:
"Hey, it's me."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then he said, "I want to see you." ”
"Okay, evening, old place."
After saying this, Xu Fan regretted it, and after hanging up the phone, he threw the phone directly on the desk. Even though half a year has passed, I still can't learn how to refuse her words, I can't refuse any of her requests, even if I look down on myself in my heart, but I still can't help but be her on-call marionette. Even though I have seen the reality clearly, I still can't control myself, which is probably the real desire.
……
The night is meant to mean the end of a day's life, but for college students, it just means the real beginning of a day's life. A small number of students brought books to the classroom for self-study, and most of the students were liberated from the dormant state of the day to vent the energy accumulated during the day.
Next to the playground, in the shade of green trees, a couple leaned together, shrouded in the moonlight, enjoying the so-called love in their eyes.
Xu Fan was alone, sitting on the steps in front of the shade, the steps were very cold, the evening breeze was very cool, and the moonlight was also very cold, but Xu Fan's heart was warm, because he was about to see her.
She came, she came earlier than half a year ago, Xu Fan didn't speak, she sat quietly next to Xu Fan, and there was no intimate behavior between the two.
"Xu Fan, I've been tired for the past six months." She spoke, and she said she was tired.
"And then?"
"Let's get back together."
Xu Fan felt her face leaning on her shoulder, her breath was also swallowed on her face, and her hair was blowing with the evening breeze, like a naughty child scratching her skin, but it seemed to scratch the most tender place in her heart.
She said to get back together.
At the beginning, she said that she wanted to separate, so she separated, and now she says that she wants to get back together, so she gets back together, because he feels tired; Very simple logic, very domineering logic, but it ate Xu Fan to death, because she knew that Xu Fan would always agree to her requirements without hesitation and meet them, no matter how abrupt and reluctant these requirements were.
She knows Xu Fan very well, a big boy who has no other hobbies, except for liking to hide in the dormitory and write novels. She felt that Xu Fan would agree, and would definitely agree, without even having to guess.
However, at this moment, Xu Fan's eyes flashed with an unusual light, and the temperament on his body also became sharp and cold in the next moment.
Sun Ran, who was leaning on Xu Fan's shoulder, felt this keenly, she didn't understand what was going on, she only felt that the person she was pillowing on at this moment suddenly became very strange, so strange that she was very terrible.
Xu Fan stretched out his hand and pushed Sun Ran's face away from the pillowed on his shoulder, and Sun Ran felt that his hand was cold, very cold.
Xu Fan stood up from the steps, turned around, and looked at Sun Ran, who was still sitting on the steps, he smiled, and couldn't help laughing.
"Freddy, it's really hard for you, really, I really haven't experienced any major setbacks since I was a child, I went to kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school and college quietly, I didn't fight, I didn't even fight, and I didn't have a tragedy of falling into the middle of my family or being separated from my wife or anything. It can be said that I have a very smooth life, even if there are some difficulties and ups and downs, but they are all things that will get better after a good night's sleep. So, can you only use my broken love in college to immerse me in it? I'm really sorry, that's it, I can't completely forget about myself, uh-huh, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm really a person with no story, just like thousands of college students who are now living a life of eating and waiting for death. ”
"Xu Fan, what are you talking about, I don't understand what you are talking about?" Sun Ran looked at Xu Fan blankly.
Xu Fan made a "shhhhh (To be continued......)
