The Great God of Net Wen was reborn in 1927

When you like someone, the length of a road is not determined by how many kilometers it is long, but by who is the person walking beside you.

Shen Lingjun also felt abrupt after finishing speaking, and Shaoting didn't reply, so he was a little annoyed.Xin Dao said that after he left the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce that day, he always said a lot and was wrong, but he couldn't help but want to say it.

Although he is not a white British man, he was brought up in a restrained and restrained gentleman's spirit.

His mother or acquaintances would probably be surprised when they saw it: it turns out that Shen Lingjun would talk like this.

He probably replied: Whether he will say it or not depends on whether he has met that person.

After you meet, you'll be amazed that you don't look like yourself anymore.

This change is also occasionally frightening and surprising, but you are so happy, as if you know for the first time in your life how it feels to want to be good to someone from the bottom of your heart.

To love is no harder than the feeling of being loved.He thought that just being able to love someone will provide you with strength.

At night, in addition to the light of street shops and street lamps, a bright moonlight also shines on the way home.

The two walked quietly without making a sound, and the annoyance passed quickly, and they felt that this was very good.It's not interesting to keep talking all the time. It's better to be with quietly and feel at ease, which makes people like it more sincerely.

I don't know who slowed down first, Shen Lingjun walked side by side with the young man, thinking in his heart: Slow down, the road should be longer...

Seeing the Xu family's small mansion on Hong Kong Island getting closer and closer.

Shao Ting suddenly said leisurely: "Do you know that in the novel, if you express your liking and say 'I like you' directly, it is very straightforward, so it is not interesting enough and full of euphemistic connotations."

Shen Lingjun said: "If you were you, how would you write it?"

He said: "In "The Great Way to the Immortal Way", when the protagonist Ye Yunqi died of the little demon girl, he said: I don't want you to die, and I will go to that restaurant to drink the newly brewed peach blossom wine with me in the future. I also want tomorrow And you popped up out of nowhere and teased me unscrupulously. So please don't die, or I will be very sad."

Shen Lingjun was silent, and when he arrived in front of the house after a while, he said slowly: "You still have the nerve to mention this paragraph, I finished reading that chapter, and I was so sad that I fell asleep in the middle of the night."

Xu Yanran was standing in front of the door waiting for someone, when she saw the two of them, she shouted before they approached, "I don't think it's too hot, why don't you come in?"

Shao Ting said: "When you think about your future life, you also want to have this person to participate in. When you think that you will never have him in your life again, you will feel sad and heartbroken. This is enough to express your love."

Shen Lingjun wanted to ask: Do you want me to be by your side all the time in the future?

Xu Yanran had already raised her eyes, and looked at them with an inexplicable look, first from Shao Ting, from top to bottom, as if to check whether her nephew was injured, and sized it up.

Shen Lingjun shut up.

Only then did his eyes fall on Shen Lingjun again.

Shen Lingjun always felt that Xu Yanran looked at him differently than before, since he came to Hong Kong Island, he probably had a stronger sense of scrutiny.

He only felt that in Xu Yanran's eyes, he was like a piece of pork up for sale.

Still kind of disgusting.

This made him can't help but think back, touching the Xu family in Hong Kong Island is different from when he was in the Shanghai stock market.

When he first arrived in Shanghai, Xu Yanran was pleasantly surprised and warmly invited him to live with Xu's house in Shanghai.

When I arrived on Hong Kong Island, I found him again. I was pleasantly surprised that he was finally released from the detention of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, but after I was relieved, I learned that he had resigned. First, he was dissatisfied like an elder.Then when I heard that he was going to stay here temporarily, I couldn't hide this scrutinizing gaze any longer.

It seemed that he, Shen Lingjun, was the first person Xu Yanran met, and Xu Yanran also made him feel something was wrong.

Something, without his knowledge, sensed something about him and changed his mind about him, but he didn't know it.

Ice cubes were placed in the living room in the house, and the temperature suddenly dropped when they entered. Seeing the two of them coming back, Zhenzhen, who was nestled next to Mrs. Zhang, was the first to shout, "What did you buy?"

Xu Yanran glanced at her: "Sweets are not allowed at night...well, you can't eat more than one piece, be careful that you will feel uncomfortable if you have tooth decay."

The servant at home brought the plates, cut the box of donuts that Shen Lingjun bought and the bread that Shao Ting bought, and after they were arranged on plates, they were simply served as desserts after the meal.

She didn't pay much attention to meals, and Zhenzhen was also very curious about Shen Lingjun's resignation. After the meal, she listened to Shen Lingjun's questioning and answering with the little girl without being perfunctory.

Even Mrs. Zhang couldn't hold back her dislike for Zhenzhen: "You have so many questions, at least we can talk after Mr. Shen has finished eating."

Only then did Zhenzhen shut her mouth, and apologize politely: "Brother Shen, eat first, and we'll chat after eating."

Shen Lingjun replied with a good-tempered smile, "Okay, let's eat first."

Xu Yanran interrupted abruptly: "Being so patient with children, when will your mother hear the good news?"

Shen Lingjun didn't understand, Xu Yanran said bluntly: "Every time your mother telegrams, she will also ask if you have found your Mrsright. After all, most people at your age have a girlfriend even if they don't talk about marriage."

Mrs Zhang interjected hesitantly, "It's a new era now, it's different from the past, and Xiao Shen's age is not bad, besides, there's no rush to get married..."

I don't know if I thought of myself, Zhang said in a low voice: "It's better to fall in love with each other than to marry blindly."

Xu Yanran rolled her eyes directly: "Of course we don't want an old-style marriage, let him talk about something he likes."

"But 23 years will pass in a blink of an eye." Xu Yanran sneered, "Now that I think about it, Shen Ryan didn't say that he never had a girlfriend, but he never even looked at women."

This hostility is no longer hidden, not to mention Mrs. Zhang, even Zhenzhen has noticed that she is impolite.

Shao Ting immediately continued: "If you don't meet someone you like, what's so strange about it?"

Mrs. Zhang also said: "How can you talk like this? Xiao Shen also has his own ideas, and we should all respect them, and don't look at how noble a girl is. And...even if you don't get married for the rest of your life, what can you do?"

Xu Yanran looked at Mrs. Zhang with hatred, "What do you know?"

Mrs. Zhang said in a low voice: "You don't plan to remarry yourself, you should push others by yourself, you should understand the value of free choice."

Xu Yanran took a deep breath, already thinking in her heart that Mrs. Zhang was not open-minded when she should be open-minded, and she talked so much when she shouldn't talk too much, she was the best pig teammate candidate.

Her words are about to reach the tip of her tongue: I'm afraid you will never be able to say the word "free choice" in the future. Pushing others by yourself is the generosity of others.

It's really your turn, let's see if you can still accept it calmly?

But I couldn't say anything, but Shen Lingjun was silent for a moment, and said: "I will quickly find a place to move out in the near future, it is indeed too disturbing—"

"Let's live here." Xu Yanran said again, "There needs to be an adult man at home, otherwise we are all women with two children, and there will always be some uninvited people."

I actually thought in my heart: Naturally, I can’t let you out of my nose, and it’s even more worrying not to see what you’re doing.

The atmosphere of a dinner is not good, and the atmosphere of swords is tense, although it has not reached the point of swords and swords, it is suppressed.

In fact, apart from Zhang's, Zhenzhen and Shaoting's tantrums that Xu Yanran felt unreasonable, Shen Lingjun suddenly seemed to understand.

He sighed in his heart, understanding why Xu Yanran's hostility came from.

I really want to go back to Xu Yanran: Not only did I not pay more attention to girls, I also did not pay more attention to boys.

This kind of thing is not unnoticed, as early as in junior high school, he was approached by boys, thinking that he was the same kind, and he was greatly surprised by the ambiguity that seemed to be there.

I didn't discriminate and didn't find it interesting. I just suddenly realized that not only men and women, but also same-sex love.

He was curious to ask, why would he like a person.

At that time, he only felt that he hadn't met the girl he liked, and if he did, he would definitely not be like his father, and would cherish and cherish her in this life.

The same-sex ambiguity in junior high school ended very briefly, because one day the white boy was with his friends of the same skin color, and when seeing him, Shen Lingjun wanted to say hello politely.Already his friends laughed loudly at the use of racial slurs.

And at that moment, he saw the white boy's tangled expression, as if he was struggling with his own love and gregariousness.

In the end, he chose to join in the ridicule, and pretended not to care, but also echoed a few words of ridicule.

At that time, he calmly turned and left, not disappointed, but disappointed.

Because it seems that love should not be such a thing, it should be a feeling that allows you to gain courage, and even your own cowardice cannot be defeated, how can it be called love?

This experience in junior high school was just the beginning. In the future, I saw more betrayal, jealousy, selfishness and even exploitation of love around me, and gradually realized: When a person is weak, selfish, jealous and greedy, when a person is mediocre and soulless What is precious, is the love born of such a person worthy of his response and dedication?

Of course, love is divided into grades. After graduating from high school, Shen Lingjun thought, the love of a white boy in junior high school cannot overcome cowardice, the love of a father cannot overcome promiscuity, Xu Yanran divorced twice, and the love of two men for her cannot overcome arrogance .

It turns out that love has never been a great feeling, so he also gave up. If he couldn't get the love he wanted, he would rather be alone for the rest of his life.

In fact, what those people said was correct, Shen Lingjun thought, because his eyes were higher than his head, no one would look down on him.

He is a natural idealist. If a person pursues the so-called true love—then he should be prepared to never meet true love in his life.

--

Fortunately, this embarrassing atmosphere passed quickly, thanks to the innocent little girl like Zhenzhen in the family.It didn't take long for the little girl to chatter about her affairs at school, and the adults all listened to her properly and responded from time to time, and Xu Yanran's tit-for-tat incident ended here.

The guest room had already been packed out for Shen Lingjun to live in. Sure enough, although Xu Yanran was hostile, she had no intention of letting Shen Lingjun go out to live by herself.

After eating, they shared the bread brought by the two men, and went to Shen Lingjun's room to help him tidy up. Several people were surprised by his extremely simple luggage.

Xu Yanran said bluntly: "This is not like a long-term stay. Are you leaving Hong Kong Island soon?"

"I just think it's enough to buy daily necessities. My own treasured items are all in my residence in London."

It doesn't look like a short stay, Xu Yanran thought sullenly, and said bluntly: "I should go back and see your mother more, she is only a child of you, no matter how enlightened she is on weekdays, she will always miss you."

Shen Lingjun said with a smile: "I have been communicating with my mother by telegram, and there was correspondence before. If the letter is not lost, I should get feedback in the past two months."

Xu Yanran always felt that what she said had other meanings, and Zhenzhen had already gone to pester Shen Lingjun with questions.Mrs. Zhang is like an old woman, she obviously pays the servants and let them do their own work, so Mrs. Zhang also wants to help.

However, Shen Lingjun's items were pitiful, and the book and hard-shell notebook he brought at the end also let everyone in the Xu family know about his translation of "The Great Dao of Immortal Journey".

Even Xu Yanran had a deep prejudice against him now, so she paused for a few seconds before replying, "You have a heart."

Shen Lingjun said: "As a loyal reader, I am also very happy to do something for my favorite novels."

Xu Yanran almost blurted out: Is it the novel I like, or even the person who wrote the novel also likes it?

That night, Shaoting did not have a few words with Shen Lingjun, he was exhausted from the journey, and soon closed the door to rest.But after this night, Shen Lingjun's life rules were comparable to that of Shaoting.

At home, Xu Yanran used to sleep until the sun was up. Zhang got up early to prepare breakfast with the servants, and went to interview for the position of primary school teacher, but it was not like the rescue primary school in Shanghai. Now she has been rejected one after another.

But Mrs. Zhang still did not give up the idea of ​​finding a job for herself. Recently, some elementary school learned about her work experience and recommended her to try the position of a life teacher in the school. She mainly takes children to do handicrafts or read extracurricular books.

Shen Lingjun got up early to exercise, ran to the pier around Hong Kong Avenue and then came back, and continued to translate novels after breakfast.

Wait until after three o'clock in the afternoon to pick up Shaoting from school on foot, and occasionally watch a movie with students like them and have dinner.

By the way, he also worked part-time as an after-school tutor in Shaoting, and now his Chinese level is no different from that of a native Chinese.

Translating novels has made him progress rapidly. Zhang Qiuren should be very pleased if he is allowed to write novels in Chinese.After all, unlike elementary school students writing essays, they have faintly reached the level where they can publish and earn manuscript fees.

This Friday, I watched a movie with my classmates from Shaoting. After watching the movie, I saw a bookstore selling books, so I went in and asked, "Do you have a hard-shell [-]-caliber thick book, with [-] pages?"

The staff also looked up and stared at his face for a few seconds before saying, "I remember that there are surplus goods in the warehouse, please wait a moment, I will look for them."

Miss Feng asked: "It's not like writing a diary with such a big book. Five hundred pages in sixteen pages are enough for me to use for several years."

After hearing this, Shao Ting understood: "So you used up that book?"

"There are more than a dozen pages left." Shen Lingjun said, "I should buy two more to prepare."

Ms. Feng: "What kind of riddles are you playing? What did you write so fast?"

Shen Lingjun didn't answer his translation of the novel, but turned around and changed the topic: "Do you want to eat ice, I remember that there is an Ah Shui ice room nearby, thank you for taking care of Shaoting on weekdays, as seniors, I should have invited you. "

Miss Feng's question was quickly drowned out by the booing classmates. At first, these young people called "Senior Brother Shaoting", but now they have all changed to: "Senior Brother, you are so generous. You invited us to watch a movie last time. This time Eat ice, we should treat you next time!"

Completely omitted the word "Shao Ting", and Shao Ting complained: "This is my senior brother, not your senior brother, so don't omit the final word, okay?"

This night, because someone was extravagant and generous, everyone had a great time. After the end, the boy was responsible for sending the girl home safely, and Shao Ting and Shen Lingjun also took the tram.At the nearest stop from home, the two walked side by side on the road as usual.

Because the academic proficiency test will be conducted at the beginning of next year, Shen Lingjun simply asked about knowledge points while walking.

Now that he doesn't have to write novels anymore, Shaoting is also working hard to go to university, and he studies very hard.

Ten of the ten questions were correct, and Shen Lingjun praised him: "I didn't see that you worked so hard in the Shanghai stock market. When Teacher Zhang Qiuren was not around, you often deserted."

"At that time, the mind was allocated to the serialization of the novel." Shao Ting said embarrassedly, "The common problem of professional writers is that they can't control their brains to think about the plot of the novel."

This changed Shen Lingjun's silence: "So now that I don't write novels anymore, I can concentrate all my thoughts on the university entrance examination."

Shao Ting nodded, Shen Lingjun considered for a moment, then Shao Ting smiled and said: "Brother, if you have anything to say between us, you can just say it, don't worry about hurting me, or is it a pity that I no longer write novels?"

"Young Court." Shen Lingjun said, "Have you ever thought about what kind of job you can get and what achievements you can make after graduation even if you go to college?"

"On Hong Kong Island, you can use a new pseudonym to re-serialize new novels."

"Well...forget it, I don't have this plan anymore."

"But in your life... can you have a career that can achieve greater success than writing novels?"

"My family is not short of money, and the manuscript fees I earned before are enough to live comfortably for more than ten years."

"I was the one who was abrupt." Shen Lingjun sighed deeply, "What right do I have to question other people's choices, no matter what you do, it's your legitimate right."

Shao Ting understood and said with a smile: "I know, you just can't bear to let your pearl be dusted and your talent not to be appreciated."

"No." Shen Lingjun said, "It's just my selfishness."

If he wanted to ask about selfishness, he would know it when he thought about it. From the reader's point of view, he naturally didn't want his favorite author to close his pen.

But soon Shen Lingjun skipped this topic, and began to conscientiously start asking questions for his academic proficiency test.

What really made him feel this selfishness was when he returned home and went to Shen Lingjun's room, where he sat at the desk and read the English version of "The Great Dao of Immortal Way" translated by Shen Lingjun after a long absence.

The last time he looked at a random page, he asked Shen Lingjun thoughtfully: "If I have the level to translate novels into English... Forget it, it's still too difficult."

Looking down at a sentence in English, I have never seen four of the ten words, which is not at all a level that non-native speakers can easily learn.

Shen Lingjun turned to the bookshelf to put the newly bought books, and bought the three thick books in the bookstore round.

He said: "I took Western literature as an elective in college, and I also got a bachelor's degree in undergraduate arts, which is not very high-level, but still passable."

The person behind didn't answer, and he didn't feel relieved either.

But he didn't know that this person rarely thought of flipping through the first page, so he saw on the title page, under the English title of "The Way of the Great Way", there were a few lines of handwritten English sentences that even Xu Shaoting could understand.

The author,

Thepersoniadmire,

The hero of my life.

They are all simple words, and they are all short sentences when translated into Chinese. However, there have been so many long or short comments in the past and present, but these three lines of English have never touched his heart so much:

The author of this article,

whom I admire,

The hero of my life.
