Gu Yu took a sip of orange juice and looked calm, while Paula opposite was still thinking about what Gu Yu had just said.
"Gu Yu, you are really different. I don't even recognize you anymore. Where did you learn this?"
Paula's expression was complicated, and she absentmindedly recalled Gu Yu's appearance in her memory.
"Sister, people have to grow up, but it's just a matter of time. I remember when my parents left that day, I was lonely and helpless, as if I had been abandoned by the world.
The uncles and aunts in the alley helped me deal with my parents' funeral arrangements. That day, I sat blankly in the mourning hall. Sister Paula sat next to me, hugged me gently, and told me that everything will pass. "
Gu Yu sorted through his memories. It was such a warm world, and the neighbors were so friendly that it was touching.
Paula also followed Gu Yu's words and recalled what happened before. She was no longer a stranger to Gu Yu just now, but began to feel pity for him.
The man in front of him was only 18 years old. At an age when he should have grown up carefree and coquettishly around his parents, he was already facing the reality and darkness of the world alone.
Not sure if it was driven by memory or emotion, Paula stood up, walked to Gu Yu, and hugged him.
"Everything will be fine, Gu Yu, it's over."
Gu Yu, on the other hand, quickly broke away from the emotion just now.
"Well, my hair was a little itchy just now, sister, I didn't mean it..." Gu Yu said a little embarrassed.
"Okay, don't talk about this, remember! Jiang Guyu, you are not allowed to mention it in the future! Do you understand?"
"Okay, I understand. Sister Paula, do you have anything else to do?"
"In the future, don't hang out with those officials. They have many thoughts. You won't even know when they sell you. Just be a writer. Politics is a very complicated thing."
Paula looked at Gu Yu seriously, and with the aura of a sister, she stated the most important purpose of coming to see him tonight.
"Haha, sister, don't worry, I understand, and what I have now is achieved through my identity as a writer and my works."
"As long as you understand, okay, I'm leaving, you can rest early."
After Paula finished speaking, she was about to go back, but Gu Yu suddenly took Paula's hand.
"Sister, I have something for you."
This sudden movement made Paula stunned. She just stared at the hands held together, and was pulled into the bedroom by Gu Yu.
"This is "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" written by me. This book will be on the shelves in two days. This is a new attempt and a new beginning, so sister, this manuscript is very meaningful. I hope You accept it.”
It was only now that Paula realized that all along, whether it was at school or in the alley, even her boyfriend had been cautious about her.
Gu Yu's bold approach was beyond Paula's expectation. She quickly threw Gu Yu's hand away, picked up the manuscript and ran out.
He stopped at the door of the bedroom and said in a small voice, "Thank you, you should go to bed early." Then he ran out of the door in a panic.
Gu Yu looked at Paula's hurried figure in front of the bedroom window, and the corners of his mouth raised. He heard that the colder the appearance of a girl, the more clingy she becomes after falling in love. I really look forward to it.
At this time, Zhengfeng was walking home after supervising the two bad students shouting slogans. He saw Gu Yu standing in front of the window, waving his hands excitedly.
"Gu Yu, after they finished shouting, I said a few words to them. They are very obedient, don't worry."
Gu Yu also smiled and said hello to him, and then Zhengfeng returned home with a satisfied look on his face.
With overwhelming publicity from Random House, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" became a phenomenal bestseller as soon as it was released. The first order of five million was snapped up, and the sales of ten million and twenty million books increased. Explosively rising in a geometric shape.
Moreover, the age distribution of readers of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is very wide, from children of a few years old, to teenagers, to young people in their twenties and thirties, to adults and old people who are influenced by children.
Although the cultural circles do not have high evaluations of the literary nature of this book, they are very optimistic about the future of 18-year-old Gu Yu's second fantasy novel, which is closer to the market than the first, especially since Gu Yu himself is in In an interview, he said that this is a series and a wizarding world.
Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, Columbia and other universities successively sent people to lobby Gu Yu, hoping that he would choose this school after graduating from high school.
According to predictions by some European and American financial media, Gu Yu will become the most profitable author with the Harry Potter series.
The old chaebols in South Korea, such as Samsung, LG, Hanjin, etc., put Gu Yu on an equal footing, while some emerging chaebols and government officials want to curry favor with Gu Yu even more. Money is second, and the most important thing is that he is in world influence.
However, this time Gu Yu is even more famous. In addition to accepting interviews from ABC, BBC, FOX, CCTV and MBC, he rejected all others. After all, writers are not stars who need exposure.
As Gu Yu deliberately kept a low profile, his life was not greatly affected, but the Korean government still increased the police presence at his residence.
"Gu Yu is such a promising kid. It turns out that having Aze in our alley already makes people think that our place has good Feng Shui.
Now that Gu Yu is here again, I heard that many people want to buy houses nearby, and house prices have increased three or four times. "
Shanying said with an exaggerated expression, Aze ended the game and returned to South Korea. The families in the alley today were divided into two waves.
The adults gathered at Shanyu's house, while the children were at Gu Yu's house.
"This child is not an ordinary person. He may be a literary star. Moreover, he has sold so many books. I heard that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" alone can earn hundreds of millions of dollars. Look after Gu Yu. , There is no change at all, if it were us, we would probably go crazy with joy." Luo Meilan also said with emotion.
"The children have grown up." Aze's father understands this very well.
"Not all, Phoenix Hall, how about I trade my three children for your Aze?" Cheng Dongyi said drunkenly.
Phoenix Hall smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
"Three for one, you won't lose. It's time for you to experience the hardship of raising three children." Cheng Dongyi continued, his expression a little dull.
"Paula's father, you are still not satisfied. Gu Yu is half your child. Now he is so promising. Why do you still care about Aze?" Shanying interrupted next to him.
"That's still different." Cheng Dongyi picked up another glass of Maotai, and the moment he drank it, the expression on his face was aftertaste.
"I have a good idea. Your family has the most advantage in our alley. You have two daughters at home. If you recruit Gu Yu and Aze as your sons-in-law, won't they all become your family?" Jin Chengjun said with a smile.
"Pah, what a great idea, Dad Zhengfeng, it's rare to hear a useful word from you."
Cheng Dongyi slapped his thigh hard, his eyes widened, and he felt like he really listened.
As for Gu Yu's family, after the last time they tasted liquor, the children didn't think it tasted very good. They still drank orange juice and yogurt.
"You two, each one is more perverted than the other. Now when I go home, my parents are telling me that I want to learn from you, and I always ask you when I go out.
I finally worked up the courage to confess my love to the sister in the library, but she only heard the sentence "I am a boy with a double background" and immediately asked me about you. Alas, I will live in your shadow for the rest of my life. "
Baby Fish said with a look of sorrow and anger, while finishing the last piece of pizza.
