The guest lecture did not end until after one o'clock in the afternoon.

In this way, the students were still unsatisfied, and some even took their own hand-copied pamphlets to Lu Shi to sign.

It wasn't until George Bernard Shaw stepped in that the chaos was maintained.

The students dispersed.

When Cheren found Lu,

"Professor Lu's vision is indeed different from that of ordinary scholars, which has broadened my thinking a lot. Perhaps, several elements of geopolitics should be changed to focus less on the ...... of domination and power."

Lu Shi knew how Chelon's theories had an impact on Germany in World War II.

If the prodigal son can really be turned back, it will be considered a great good.

As for the question of the butterfly effect,

Lu Shi no longer thinks about those who don't have it, and just puts it badly,

If it comes, it will be safe.

The two chatted for a while,

At this time, George Bernard Shaw finally dispersed the students, came over, and invited the two to say, "Have dinner together?" ”

Lu Shi looked at the direction of the school gate and found that there were still many students waiting for him, anxiously looking like waiting for an idol, so he said helplessly: "The school has a canteen?" In this situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out. ”

George Bernard Shaw couldn't help laughing,

"It's okay, go to my place for a simple bread and a cup of coffee, and then go to the restaurant for a good meal in the evening."

The three of them walked towards the office building.

On the way, George Bernard Shaw asked Lu Shi in a low voice: "Professor Lu, what is your attitude towards women's college......

Bite one's tongue

The words didn't come out, but they were already equivalent to asking.

Lu Shi couldn't help but sigh,

"Mr. Superintendent, what I just said is what I really think."

George Bernard Shaw nodded knowingly,

Although Lu Shi did not explicitly support women's rights, from the point of view he expressed, the tendencies were self-evident.

Lu Shi looked at George Bernard Shaw's expression, and knew that the other party still didn't understand,

"One day," he said, "rights organizations may become completely different from what they are now, and they will become some kind of ...... Well...... In short, by then, I will definitely be against it. ”

The corners of George Bernard Shaw's mouth twitched,

"Professor Lu is too worried, right?"

Lu Shi did not pick up the stubble.

It must be difficult for people today to imagine that 120 years from now, because of political correctness, the demons will be dancing wildly.

If George Bernard Shaw had been "lucky" enough to see that scene, his expression would have been wonderful.

The three of them came to the school building.

There was a person standing at the door of the building, and when he saw Lu Shi coming, he hurried to meet him, and said at the same time: "Mr. Lu, I am the clerk of The Scotsman, and here is a letter, and the editor-in-chief of Cooper asked me to send it to you as soon as possible." ”

"Letter?"

Lu Shi was surprised,

In 1900, the telegraph was already widely used for communication, and unless the content was very long, exceeding the word limit for a long telegram, the letter would be used to communicate.

George Bernard Shaw prompted: "Did you send it from China?" Take a look. ”

Lu Shi took the letter,

Nothing was written on the envelope, not even a stamp.

This shows that the sender knew the Scotsman directly or personally brought the letter to London.

The doubts in Lu Shi's heart deepened.

He opened the envelope,

Beautiful English writing comes into view,

When my friend landed, I saw the words like meeting:

I was comforted to hear that you admired the painting "The Picture of Dorian Gray", and although I wanted to drag my sick body back to London to meet you, I am afraid that I have no chance now.

However, "the body can't reach, the heart yearns for it", in my heart, you and I have been friends for a long time.

Recently, I have been reading "No One Survived" every day, and I was attracted by the treacherous and treacherous in it, but unfortunately there are only fourteen chapters now, which makes me scratch my heart and lungs, and I am very anxious.

But I still want to thank you.

If it weren't for the fact that I was waiting for the serialization of the book, I would have died a long time ago.

……

There's a long way to go,

explores how a novel should be written;

It explores how novels and dramas will develop in the future under the influence of aestheticism;

It explores that France is more open and liberal than England, and that it will surely become the birthplace of new literature in the future.

At the end of the letter, there were two short goodbyes:

After that will be indefinite.

Another: Take me to say hello to Xiao. If possible, show him what I know about aestheticism.

——

Lu Shi stayed on the spot.

He asked in a low voice, "What day is today?" ”

George Bernard Shaw and Cheren both noticed the low pressure on the land, and they couldn't help but glance at each other.

Cheren replied carefully: "4th." ”

December 4th.

Oscar Wilde died of meningitis on 30 November 1900 at the age of 46 at the Hôtel Alsace in Paris.

Lu Shi never thought that a few words casually in the salon would be exchanged for a sincere friend,

He felt guilty that only half of his admiration for "The Picture of Dorian Gray" was true, and the other half was an attempt to push Wilde out as a shield to gag Doyle and Buckle's mouths.

George Bernard Shaw asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Shi handed the letter over,

"Mr. Wilde asked you to look at the letter as well."

Hearing the name Wilde, George Bernard Shaw was very surprised and subconsciously accepted the letter.

And so, silence came,

“……”

“……”

“……”

I don't know how long later, George Bernard Shaw said: "This guy is really arrogant enough to teach you how to write novels when he is in that state." ”

After speaking, he sighed deeply.

Seeing the two of them like this, Cheren probably guessed the content of the letter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an obituary.

Cheren asked, "When?" ”

George Bernard Shaw glanced at the payment time and replied, "It should have been two or three days ago." The letter was written on December 1. ”

Lu Shi was at a loss,

"December 1st?"

Shouldn't it be November 30th?

Lu Shi snatched the letter, confirmed the time, and found that George Bernard Shaw really did not lie to himself.

George Bernard Shaw didn't know what Lu Shi was thinking, and comforted him: "Although Professor Lu couldn't meet Wilde, he doesn't need to blame himself. As he wrote in the letter, he liked your "No One Survived" very much, and even said that he was hanging on that novel for his last breath. You should be glad about that. ”

Lu Shi muttered to himself:

"The butterfly effect doesn't necessarily go in a bad direction."

His mindset has changed a little bit, and he wants to be more actively and deeply involved in the world and influence the world.

George Bernard Shaw was puzzled,

"Professor Lu, what did you just say?"

Lu Shi did not answer, but looked at the clerk of the "Scotsman" and said, "Next Wednesday...... Not...... It's tomorrow, tomorrow is the fifteenth and sixteenth chapters of "No One Left Alive" and the epilogue, right? ”

The clerk nodded,

"That's right."

Lu Shi said, "Can you help me revise a little content?" ”

The clerk showed a puzzled expression,

"At this point in time, I'm afraid it's difficult. As you should know, in order to ensure the print quality of the supplement, the editor-in-chief of Cooper asked us to complete the typesetting on Monday. Now, the printing press has been in full swing for a long time. ”

Two months ago, The Scotsman did not have high requirements for the printing quality of the supplement to the novel.

But with the advent of "No One Left Alive", newspaper sales are rising, and Cooper of course has to give the cash cow key care, and typeset the novel supplement two days in advance.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Lu Shi can always deliver the manuscript ahead of schedule.

Lu Shi thought for a while and said, "I only add two sentences at the beginning of the epilogue. If Cooper wishes, my next novel will be serialized in The Scotsman. ”

The clerk's eyes lit up,

"Mr. Lu, I don't dare to promise anything, but I can promise to bring you the words."
