CHAPTER XIV

(14) Finale

I am Lin Sieve, and my name comes from "The times are like a sieve, sifting out a few people to excel." However, when I introduced myself, I never told anyone that this sentence was still half hidden by me.

"Times are like a sieve, sieving everyone out of place."

None of the characters mentioned in this novel have yet stood out as much as they stand out from the crowd, but it is the sieve of the times that has displaced me and others.

The times are like a sieve, sifting out all the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the past. Wang Xiao's upheaval, Zhang Xinuan's "Five Centimeters per Second", Chen Fan's love and life, Jiang Hu's full pursuit, Guan Beibei's tears, Li Yelei and the dusty sea.

Later, many years later, listening to Bei Bei talk about the past, Li Yelei originally wanted to go to the same school as me, because of some things, he went to Jiangsu University to study, of course I knew what those things were, but I didn't speak, just listened quietly, and listened to her say that she had never been with Li Yelei, people always love seriously and let go quickly, she was with her seniors when she was a sophomore. I heard that Li Yelei was welcomed and sought after by many girls when he was in college, and he made a girlfriend after working in addition to his busy studies, and every time it didn't suit his heart, he broke up quickly. Later, I got together with a girl who was two years older than him, and I heard that I got married last year and lived well.

It's good or good, after that incident, the two of us didn't greet each other even when we met, we all acted as strangers, and I was naturally happy to hear that he was very good.

Among these people, the only pair of people who still have each other's hands tied are Zhang Xinuan and Jiang Hu, and the two have already stepped into more than 20 countries hand in hand. Zhang Xinuan's paintings have been exhibited in some small art exhibitions around the world, and Jiang Hu's software design career has also been booming.

Chen Fan and Wang Xiao have never broken contact, Wang Xiao has already married and had children, the family is happy, Chen Fan will go to Chongqing once every six months to play, stop by to see Wang Xiao, Wang Xiao's wife is gentle and virtuous, and often uses social software to chat with Chen Fan, and has traveled abroad with Chen Fan many times, which can be regarded as good friends. Wang Xiao's children like Chen Fan very much, and they call "sister-in-law, sister-in-law" affectionately. I don't know what other people think, but I know exactly what the word "by the way" means.

As for me, my college boyfriend, who is very similar to Jiang Xuesong, will get married next month. After turning the page with Li Yelei that day, he called me a lot, but I didn't answer any of them, he sent me messages, and I didn't reply to him. Unexpectedly, the next day he came from Jiangxi to Fujian to look for me, and I was so moved that I told him everything without concealment, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, he took me by the hand and boarded the boat to Gulangyu. The difference between him and Li Yelei is that he is more realistic than Li Yelei, which Li Yelei has almost nothing, only Jiang Xuesong will have.

Li Yelei was born calmly, not naïve at all, it seems to be realistic, but it is something that cannot be found in reality, at least after I have done all my youthful fantasies, I can't get and don't want to get the reality. And although Jiang Xuesong is the character I created with Li Yelei's prototype, I relied on my own strength to put childish shortcomings and fantasies on him, thinking that this is what should be in reality.

At a new book signing the week before, a girl my age asked me again about the ending of my first novel. I just remembered that I started writing this novel when I was a freshman in high school, and it has been more than ten years since I am today. It's time to give that novel an ending.

Naturally, the male and female protagonists are together.

After the update, the comment area exploded, and most fans were very satisfied with the result. And I know that their affirmation is not because of how good and touching this ending is. It's because it's been more than ten years since this novel, and many fans of this book have come with me from those years. Over the years, all people have been smoothed out by time, relaxed their minds, and accepted this memories-like ending of the novel naturally, and they all have a monster longing for happiness living in their hearts.

Luckily, the ending is to the taste of the yokai.

As for what I said to Chen Fan before, my first love is Jiang Xuesong, but it is better to say that Li Yelei is my first love. But I didn't choose Li Yelei in the end, probably because I fell in love with Jiang Xuesong, which I created based on Li Yelei. Eleven years ago, when I was in the third year of junior high school, I liked Li Yelei in the first year of junior high school, and tried all the methods that a little girl should use to attract his attention, and it was really simple, he was never moved by me, and I began to write this story of unrequited love in my freshman year of high school, and in my sophomore year of high school, he moved downstairs to my house like a TV series, and had some intersections with me. Later, after a long time, I found something different, and I fell in love with my Jiang Xuesong. Seven years ago, I met my current boyfriend, the boy who was exactly the same as Jiang Xuesong, but luckily we got together.

In that novel, the character based on me finally came together with the character based on Li Yelei. From more than ten years ago to seven years ago, Jiang Xuesong has always been given the image of Li Yelei by me, and Li Yelei is Jiang Xuesong in my heart, so the progress of my novels has stagnated during that period of time. Later, when I met my boyfriend, I realized that this Jiang Xuesong was actually a character carved according to his mold arranged by fate, and since then, Jiang Xuesong has been given the image of my boyfriend by me. So at the end, the male protagonist and the female protagonist were together.

This is also true in reality.

That's nice.

It's just a pity that the East China Sea has become a landmass.
