Chapter 195: Compared to you, the rest doesn't matter
Sunday, July 2nd.
In the leisurely afternoon, the vinyl record player was playing the piano version of "One Step Away", which was from the classic movie "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing Women", at this moment Jiang Baizhi was resting on Su Ye's lap barefoot, in a comfortable daze.
And Su Ye passed the time with a book of popular astronomy, because of Jiang Baizhi, he also fell in love with the universe and the stars.
At this moment, the mobile phone rings. Su Ye looked down and saw that the caller was Zhong Shanhe.
Su Ye lowered the volume of the mobile phone, and then put it to his ear, and his voice was flat, he didn't want to disturb Jiang Baizhi.
"Brother Zhong, what's the matter?"
"Xiao Su, your book has been on the market for a month, and the sales curve has begun to decline. I'm trying to tell you that if you have to have a mental expectation, you may not be able to achieve the results we want. ”
Su Ye was a little stunned, but he didn't lose his temper too much, after all, in the world, we can only do our best and obey the destiny of heaven. You can't control the outcome, you have to make choices.
"Brother Zhong, I understand."
"Alas"
Zhong Shanhe's loss is simply beyond words, his loss is unwilling, not because the book sales did not meet expectations. It's more of a disappointment with this era, this environment. He was extremely sure that Su Ye's book was a good book, but those books that were not very good in his mind sold better than Su Ye's books. He certainly understands that this is a market era where someone needs to prove valuable.
There is no literary distinction between classics and chicken soup, and both can draw strength for readers, but it is undeniable that classics can allow you to draw more.
Zhong Shanhe can't blame the reader, but his disappointment is real, it's really a bad time, so bad that it's hard to make people calm down and manage a relationship, read a book, and drink a cup of tea.
Before the book went on sale, he also imagined that the book would bring new voices and new changes. But I didn't expect it to disappear directly, and the ideal is so contrary to the current era.
In fact, Zhong Shanhe still has an idea in his heart, that is, to improve Su Ye's fame, such as participating in Ma Xi's show, he knows that Ma Xi has invited Su Ye, and uses the way to increase personal popularity to let more people know about this book, or let more people see Su Ye's conversation and charm, so they are willing to read Su Ye's book.
To be honest, this is not ashamed, people have to learn to be flexible, but he knows Su Ye, he knows what kind of person Su Ye is.
After thinking about it and thinking about it, Zhong Shanhe still decided to speak, because he really didn't want to see this book buried, "Su Ye, this is an era when the wine is fragrant and afraid of deep alleys, Lao Ma's program invites you to think about it, if more people can see you, maybe it will be different, and for you, it may also be a new experience." ”
"Brother Zhong, I understand, you let me think about it."
Su Ye, who hung up the phone, although his face was still very calm, his heart was far from being so calm. He was not afraid of embarrassment when he said it, and he was really moved by Zhong Shanhe's proposal for a moment.
This book is a book that has poured a lot of his heart and soul into it, and represents his ideals. If it was a professional book from the past, he might not care, but this time, he still cared.
This heartbeat made him ask himself in his heart, have you really done your best?
This is a very tempting voice, but even if he wants to go, there is still a question whether Jiang Baizhi agrees. You must know that not long ago, the two of them had an unpleasant quarrel over this issue.
"Is there something?" I don't know when, Jiang Baizhi opened her eyes.
Su Ye hesitated, but nodded anyway.
Seeing this, Jiang Baizhi sat up directly, "It's embarrassing for you?" ”
"It's not a dilemma." Su Ye chose to speak directly, "Brother Zhong called me just now and said that the sales of my new book are not very ideal, and he hopes that I can participate in Senior Brother Ma's program invitation, if my fame expands, it may promote the sales of books." ”
"And what do you think?"
"Bai Zhi, I have to say that I am also a layman, this book means a lot to me, I really want to do something for it, even if it may be useless, otherwise I will be unwilling in my heart."
"Then you're embarrassed because of me?" Jiang Baizhi's expression was calm, "Worried that I will be unhappy?" ”
Su Ye nodded, with a serious expression, "Yes, but it can't be said to be embarrassing, because these things don't matter compared to you." ”
The Persian poet Rumi once wrote in "Approaching the Truth": In the spring, come to the orchard. Among the pomegranate flowers, there is light, good wine, and sweethearts. None of this matters if you don't come. None of this matters if you come.
Su Ye's psychology is probably the same, some things are very important, but compared to Jiang Baizhi, they are not so important.
"I'm so indistinguishable from right and wrong in your mind?" Jiang Baizhi glared at Su Ye, "I didn't agree before, because I thought it wasn't something you wanted to do, but since it's what you want to do, you just do it, and I will fully support it." ”
"Really?"
"Really, is your girlfriend okay?" Jiang Baizhi raised her eyebrows.
Su Ye took Jiang Baizhi into his arms, "My girlfriend is the best in the world." ”
Jiang Baizhi nodded, indicating that it was very useful, but she still didn't let go of Su Ye, "If you have something you want to do, just do it, don't always look ahead and look backward because I'm looking ahead, so I will be unhappy, don't do it in the future." ”
Su Ye was happy to have such an informed lover, Jiang Baizhi's support made him let go of the worries in his heart, and the whole person was very relaxed, so he was still in the mood to joke, "Who said that I was looking ahead and backward because of you, I thought about it just now, if you don't agree to me, I will threaten you to agree." ”
"You, threaten me?" Jiang Baizhi pursed her lips, burning counterfeit money in front of the grave, fooling ghosts, ghosts don't believe it.
"What's that look on your face?"
"No expression."
"You don't believe me?" Su Ye felt that her boyfriend's majesty had been provoked.
But Jiang Dada's flower name was called in vain, Jiang Baizhi looked at Su Ye without timidity, and the corners of her mouth were still teasing, "Oh, I'm curious about how Professor Su is going to threaten me." ”
"Have you watched "Heaven and Dragon Slayer"?"
"Huh?"
"Zhao Min set up a mechanism to trap Zhang Wuji in the dungeon of Green Willow Villa, and as a result, he was also trapped inside, Zhang Wuji could only threaten Zhao Min in order to get out of trouble."
Just before Jiang Baizhi could react, Su Ye had already held Jiang Baizhi's jade feet in his hand, and his hand was cold, Su Ye scratched it gently, and a tingling and itching sensation rushed straight to the top of Jiang Baizhi's head, and the leg that was held was directly arched.
"Hmph, you know how good I am this time."
Seeing this, Su Ye was very proud.
Jiang Baizhi couldn't break free at all if she wanted to break free, so she could only laugh and scream, twisting and twisting in Su Ye's arms. Soon, Jiang Baizhi's smiling eyes were full of autumn waves, like water, and her little face had a good-looking flush, Su Ye looked at it, and the movements in her hands couldn't help but slow down
