Outside the maid café in the central area of the magic capital, a group of young ladies who are dressed up beautifully and beautiful are soliciting customers at the door of the store.

Xia Yan wore a mask and walked in all the way, and after asking for a private room, he specially asked if he wanted to be quiet alone without disturbing him.

This surprised the waiters at the maid café.

Isn't coming to this place to experience otaku culture these days?

You don't let the waiter in the store come and talk to you, why don't you go to the place where you actually drink coffee?

Xia Yan sat down in the private room, closed the door gently, and then looked at the bustling scene on the street through the one-sided window.

There are many areas in the magic capital that have this kind of two-dimensional street, but Xia Yan is easy to recognize and then blocked because he is too famous now, and he hasn't come to these places purely for a few years.

Removing the mask on his face, Xia Yan took a deep breath.

"I envy them!"

Xia Yan looked at the cosplay Lelouch, CC, David, and a male and female teenager on the street outside the window.

After several years of working life, he could barely remember the last time he was as carefree as theirs, a long time ago.

So.

I deliberately chose this place.

After all, I am too busy on weekdays to experience this.

Outside, there was a soft knock.

"Come in." Xia Yan said.

The sliding door was pulled open, and a young girl wearing a long black dress, also wearing a mask, entered.

Song Lingyun took off the mask, revealing a fair and smooth face, clear pupils, and small lips, although she could often be seen.

But Xia Yan also praised in his heart.

Xia Yan's appearance can only be regarded as handsome within the scope of a normal person, although many fans praise Xia Yan for being handsome, but Xia Yan also knows very well that he will not be fascinated by these remarks.

But Song Lingyun is put in the entertainment industry, and among the beauties, they are all the protagonists of the protagonists.

Even if Song Lingyun is now the top three among the signed writers of Liuli Books, her fans still feel that her appearance is still above her creative strength, and it is even a pity that if she does not enter the entertainment industry, if she becomes an actor, she should earn more than being a master.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan's face, his expression was slightly unnatural.

"It's been a long time since we've been out for coffee and tea together, can't I catch up with you?" Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Renewing? You can talk about it at home! Song Lingyun sat down opposite Xia Yan, and looked at the two-dimensional street outside the window.

In such establishments, cosplay lovers are the most, but at a glance.

Almost sixty or seventy percent of the cosers are cos, and they are characters in Xia Yan's works.

"Well, I've been at home for a long time every day, don't you feel bored? Is it bad to switch places? ”

"Aren't you afraid that Tang Yin will misunderstand?" Song Lingyun was silent for a while and said.

"Deliberately asked me to talk outside alone, if Tang Yin knew, he would definitely be cranky."

Xia Yanyan's expression was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled.

"Okay, I'm not as quick as you, I'll be straight."

"You're ready to finish your popular serialized "Boundary", aren't you? ”

"Hmm." After Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan with his eyes, he nodded slightly.

"Why?" Xia Yan took a deep breath and asked.

"Because I suddenly felt bored and didn't want to write, it was over." Song Lingyun said casually.

"Boring? I don't want to write it." Xia Yan's eyes widened.

"What are you talking about? Yours is a popular work with an average of 15 million sales! You're like this.."

"It's irresponsible, isn't it?" Song Lingyun's expression was slightly depressed.

"But so what. How many people like to watch it, and what's the point? Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan.

"Have you seen it? So far, how many of these books have you read, which has produced thirteen volumes? In my last chapter, there was an important character who was written to death by me, and I hesitated for a long time, and I was very reluctant, but in order to expand the main plot line smoothly, in order to break free from the shackles of the early framework, and strive to achieve better results, but, what's the point? ”

"I" Xia Yan was asked speechlessly.

Xia Yan was watching Song Lingyun when it was first serialized.

But the more time goes on, the busier it becomes, Lelouch, a full-time hunter, and the plot creation of Sword Art Online is okay, the publicity of these three works has really taken Xia Yan too much thought, and he has been for half a year. I don't have time to care about other two-dimensional works.

"However, every one of your works, from the journey of youth to the rebellious Lelouch, I have watched them all over and over again, over and over again." Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan and said in a calm tone.

"But. No matter how much I study your work, it doesn't feel useful! ”

"The gap with you is getting bigger and bigger."

"Xia Yan, I know very well. Just like when I was in high school, I never cared about how the second best person in my class studied because I knew. There is a talent gap between him and me, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't surpass me. Song Lingyun looked up at Xia Yan, her eyes were a little red.

"In your eyes. I'm the same. Actually, you've never taken me to heart, have you? ”

“.” Xia Yan.

He admitted that Song Lingyun was right, it was not Xia Yan who was arrogant, but Xia Yan really knew very well that how could he defeat him with Song Lingyun's strength alone.

Song Lingyun is a genius? Hunters, aren't the creators of these works the initial D? Even if Song Lingyun is really powerful enough to create a masterpiece that beats these works

Xia Yan can also come up with more powerful works to fight back, Song Lingyun is a human being, she has creative limits, but Xia Yan does not.

"But. What does this have to do with you suddenly ending your book? Xia Yan was silent for a while and asked.

"Because. There are not you among the tens of millions of readers. Song Lingyun looked out the window at a girl who cosplayed CC and said.

"I'm the one who finally figured it out after I couldn't write the story well three weeks ago."

Three weeks ago.

Xia Yan's eyelids were one, wasn't it when he happily announced the good news of his relationship with Tang Yin?

"I've always wanted to be on top, and the reason why I got better than you is probably because I instinctively noticed that you would only notice my presence if I kept keeping up with you. From following my work, to following me as a creator myself! ”

"But it's a pity." Song Lingyun looked up at Xia Yan with a smile on her face.

"I'm falling behind!"

"What are you fartting?" Xia Yan's expression was stunned, and then he was angry.

"You're only twenty-one years old, what kind of team are you missing! There are a lot of people in the seventies and eighties of the Dragon Kingdom who are still active in front-line creation, and you just admit defeat? ”

"But. . . What's the use of me catching up with you in ten or twenty years? Song Lingyun's eyes were red and he looked at Xia Yan.

"You are now, the person who is watching is Tang Yin, not me."

Xia Yan's hand shook, and the coffee cup on the table was almost shaken off by him.

"Are you kidding?"

This is almost explicit.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it?" Song Lingyun said with a smile, but her voice was a little choked.

"I didn't expect that the reason why I was so obsessed with surpassing you was just because I wanted to get your attention, and I wanted you to chase you like I was aiming for you, chasing you, and letting you chase my back for the rest of my life."

"I don't even know when I fell in love with you"

The tears in Song Lingyun's eyes appeared repeatedly, and she was suppressed again and again.

Xia Yan grew his mouth and wanted to say something, but.

I can't say anything, I didn't do anything wrong, but I found that it was all my fault.

Xia Yan's head kept turning, in essence, Xia Yan was also a very rational person, although he panicked at first, he also understood that panic was useless.

He really attaches great importance to Song Lingyun, a friend.

After all, in his twenties, he had three friends.

"Okay, if you came to me to ask why I gave up this part, I've already given the reason." Song Lingyun took a deep breath and got up to leave.

"Wait a minute." Xia Yan called out to her.

"You, what about after you've finished this Boundary? You."

"Are you ready to give up?"

"I don't know." A trace of confusion flashed in Song Lingyun's eyes.

Finished.

As soon as Xia Yan saw her expression, she knew that if she didn't care about it here, the situation would definitely slide in the worst direction.

He really didn't expect that Song Lingyun, who has always been sensible, would not even be sure whether his favorite creation would continue because of such a thing.

"It's really boring to write about your Boundary, so I didn't read it." Xia Yan gritted his teeth and sprayed directly.

"It's over."

As soon as Song Lingyun heard Xia Yan's words, her expression was immediately stunned.

Xia Yan didn't comfort her, she could guess, because she knew Xia Yan too well, as long as he didn't make a mistake, you don't think he would have any soft attitude.

But opening your mouth is such a sentence

"It's true that no matter how long you write, it can't be compared to Sword Art Online."

"But. I'm going to refute you a little. Xia Yan looked at Song Lingyun.

"You said I never cared about you, it's fake."

"You are my favorite writer in the Dragon Kingdom, this world."

"Of all the writers I have known since I was a child, among the writers of the Dragon Kingdom, you are the first!"

"Eh" Song Lingyun's eyes enlarged.

"You Xia Yan you."

"I like it, and it's not just about dating. If you give up your career as an author here, then I can tell you with certainty. You're going to be the author I hate the most. ”

Song Lingyun's expression changed when he heard this.

"Xia Yan, you. Are you agitating the general? Song Lingyun was silent for a while and said softly.

"Yes, but what I said is also true." Xia Yan also stood up and looked at Song Lingyun.

"I mean what if. One day, Tang Yin doesn't like me anymore, and when she separates from me, I may be depressed for a while, but I will never give up the creation of two-dimensional works. Because I am not so cowardly, I will not use emotional failure as a shield for my own incompetence and decadence. I haven't lost my love, and I can't empathize with you, but Song Lingyun. The genius I like, Song Lingyun, will definitely not be a person who gives up his life because of such a thing as falling out of love. ”

"I know what you think of me, I'm sorry. But. I can't accept that one of my favorite authors in Dragon Nation could be such a cowardly person. It was only for this reason that she gave up her fan and creative career. ”

Xia Yan said sorry to the Liuli Book Club at this moment.

Because the Liuli Book Society must still be holding Song Lingyun and not ending the Boundary.

But Xia Yan knew that after the conversation between herself and her, Song Lingyun would definitely be over, because she directly denied the Boundary, and she was even less interested in creating.

If there is no Xia Yan in this era, then Song Lingyun must be the most shining existence in the light world of the Dragon Kingdom, and he is the creator who leads an era.

If such a person is influenced by himself and gives up this path, then Xia Yan will not be able to accept it.

Song Lingyun was silent for a moment.

"It's useless for you to talk about it now!"

"Well, maybe," Xia Yan said.

"But Song Lingyun, the intersection between me and you only exists in the industry. No, you and I are like birds and fish, and there will never be such a face-to-face meeting in this life. If you give up, you will give up all your contacts and intersections with me."

"Life is often like this. I haven't been in touch with a single high school classmate in three years, because I don't have anything in common with them. I don't want to be a few years later, after graduating from college, the last time I want to tell you the truth is at this time. ”

"If I give up creating, you'll break up with me, right?" Song Lingyun said.

"It's not that you break off your relationship, but from that moment on, in my eyes, you will really lose your existence." Xia Yan did not hesitate to say.

"The one who will shine in my eyes is Song Lingyun. As for Song Lingyun, an ordinary girl in the Dragon Kingdom, I don't care. ”

Song Lingyun's pupils dilated, looking at his own reflection in Xia Yan's pupils.

After standing for a few seconds, Song Lingyun took a deep breath, pushed open the door and left directly.

In the room, Xia Yan had a wry smile on his face.

Song Lingyun is very smart, if she wants to be really careful and only say beautiful things, she will definitely see through it.

Therefore, when Xia Yan speaks, he is basically sincere, and he can say whatever he thinks in his heart.

If it comes to this, Song Lingyun is not stimulated, and is still ready to give up his career because of these boring reasons, then Xia Yan can't help it.

put on a mask, called the waiter, ordered a maid's egg in the café, Xia Yan asked them to leave the private room, and then after eating alone, Xia Yan left with a heavy heart.

After returning home, Song Lingyun didn't come back, but Tang Yin came up and asked curiously.

"How?"

"Nothing? I've said everything that needs to be said, and the rest is up to her. ”

Xia Yan did not reveal Song Lingyun's privacy, and Tang Yin was also very interested in hearing Yan and stopped asking.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening that Song Lingyun returned home with a tired face.

And the next day.

On the side of the Liuli Book Society, it was announced in the whole dragon country.

His popular work "Boundary" will be completed in two months, and in the second week of the end of Boundary

Song Lingyun has another new work, which will be logged in and serialized at the same time.

Obviously, Song Lingyun only returned last night, and he went to the Liuli Book Society for an interview.

The boundless book that was denied by Xia Yan himself, she was determined to finish it in two months, but the new work after the end.

This time, there is nothing beyond Xia Yan or not, Song Lingyun is just ready to do his best.

This news, on the same day in the second dimensional circle of the Dragon Kingdom, completely exploded. Xia Yan is an insider of the book club, and naturally learned the news one step earlier than the ordinary people.

After seeing that Song Lingyun was only at the end of the boundary, but there was news that a new work would be born soon, Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that last night's stimulus worked.

After Song Lingyun came back, the conversation with Xia Yan in the café before was as if it didn't exist, and Xia Yan herself felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, but she returned to normal.

Calm, indifferent.

It's just that when I see Xia Yan at the dinner table, I can't help but pause for a few seconds occasionally, and my eyes flash with thought.

Xia Yan himself is also thick-skinned, he can't control what others think of him, he can only be himself.

You may be embarrassed in your heart, but in your expression, you will be calm and calm.

On the surface, there seems to be no change between Xia Yan and Song Lingyun, but both of them know that the atmosphere between them has completely changed.

In the past, they felt that each other was friends.

But now, Xia Yan is reminded all the time in his mind

There is a difference between men and women! Pay attention to the distance.

In May, the beginning of the month quietly ended.

(End of chapter)
