"It's true. I asked three streets yesterday to buy the new issue of "Grudge" at a newsstand. The guy really wrote the male protagonist to death. I talked to my cousin this afternoon and she said she cried a lot. During the first class, the teacher thought she was in love and called her to the office for a heart-to-heart talk... My cousin is only in junior high school."
"Is it really the same person who co-wrote 'Winter in Manchester' and 'The Fifth Quadrant'?"
"Of course it's true. There is no need for trouble without fire. There is no need to lie about this kind of thing."
"You think this guy is a fool? He killed the male protagonist in "How Many Flowers Fall in My Dreams" for middle school and high school students, and killed the female lead in "First Intimate Contact" for netizens like us. He did it on purpose Bar?"
"Remove the question mark. It's 100% intentional. I want to send bullets to Ya. Does anyone have his address?"
"The blade is fine, the bullet has passed."
"Class 2, Grade 3, Xihong City No. 7 Middle School, it should be this one."
"How do you know? Is it true?"
"It was said by the guy who posted the apology before."
"Really? Can a high school student write such a beautiful thing? I don't believe it."
"Do you have any friends of Gan Jingzi? Meet at the train station at 7 a.m. the day after tomorrow. Let's form a group to go to Xihong City to settle the score with him."
"..."
The NetEase BBS was in a state of uproar. There were louder and louder condemnations for the guy who caused all this, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this kind of condemnation was the kind of condemnation that was mixed with love and hate. He really liked the guy, and he really liked the protagonist. Pity.
In a city in the south, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl put away her winter vacation homework and took out a small figure cut from red paper from the drawer, with the words "Fifth Quadrant" written on it in black pen. She was done. Get a pin and poke and poke and poke and poke.
"I'll kill you, you pesky idiot, I don't like you anymore, I don't like you anymore..."
Farther away in Shanghai, the Bund in 1998 already had a bit of a feasting atmosphere. The whistle on the Huangpu River was slow and the night was cold. In front of the cast-iron carved railing next to the Lover's Wall, a man and a woman were standing next to each other.
"Cold?"
He put his coat on the woman's shoulders.
"Thanks."
"I'm curious. I asked you three times before but you didn't answer. Why did you suddenly agree to see me today?"
"Because of a book... once some people miss it, it may be lost forever."
"a book?"
"Um."
"what book?"
"..."
…
The New Year is approaching.
The streets and alleys are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, couplets are posted on every house, the character "福" is hung upside down at the door, and boxes of wine and fruits in flower baskets are placed on the open space outside the canteen.
The children put on new clothes and ran around the yard with toys. Several older children covered their ears and ran out of the alley. Soon there was a "bang" sound, followed by adults yelling.
"Who set off the firecrackers? Who set off the firecrackers?"
At the same time, the rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala is coming to an end. The actors have finished their day's work and are sitting on the floor in the lounge and dressing room chatting and gossiping. After all, they have met many celebrities, such as Ni Ping, Niu Qun, and Feng Gong. , Sister Na, Cai Guoqing, Mao Ning, Pan Changjiang...
Except for the Spring Festival Gala, it is basically impossible to meet these people all at once.
"By the way, do you know who the young man that sister is bringing is?"
"I heard it's called Charlotte."
"Charlotte? I've never heard of it. Have you ever sung any songs before?"
"No...I don't know anyway."
"No matter if you know it or not, since it was the sister who invited him to sing on stage, it must be right."
"You guys think, should we ask him to sign something in advance? If he becomes popular in the future, it will be difficult to get an autograph."
"I think it will work."
"Are you crazy about chasing stars? He's not even famous yet, and he wants an autograph? He's just a nymphomaniac."
"..."
Charlotte passed by and was very proud when she heard the discussion in the lounge. She thought to herself, just wait and see, when he sings "Meet in 1998" at the Spring Festival Gala, the audience across the country will remember his face and name. , his star road is stable. With more than ten years of hot songs, he will become the godfather of the music industry. Who does Lin Yue count? Haha, as long as she sees his performance on the Spring Festival Gala, Qiu Ya will definitely fall into his arms.
It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when I returned to my residence. I was too excited to sleep. Thinking that Qiu Ya might not be asleep yet, I picked up the guest room phone and dialed Qiu Ya's home number.
Gudu~du~du~
The phone was connected, and a female voice came over there, asking who he was looking for.
Charlotte called her aunt and said that she was Qiu Ya's classmate. Because she was away on business, she wanted to ask her about her winter vacation homework.
When it comes to studying, adults will naturally not stop you.
After a while, Qiu Ya's voice rang on the phone.
"Hey, is it Charlotte?"
"Qiu Ya, let me tell you, the show that sister and I have is ranked fourteenth. The song is called "Meet in 1998". Remember to watch it."
"Meet you in 1998, okay, I understand."
"During my absence, did Lin continue to make things difficult for you? Don't worry, I will vent your anger for you when I get back."
The other person paused for a moment and replied: "No."
"Qiu Ya, do you know that I see many people here, Ni Ping, Niu Qun, Feng Gong, Zhao Benshan, Fan Ming, Cai Wen...whose autograph do you want? I'll get it for you."
"No need to bother."
"It's fine."
"It's really unnecessary."
"Andy Lau, I know you like Andy Lau the most. When I see him, I will definitely get his signed CD for you."
"..."
"That's it, Qiu Ya, you don't know, everything is good here, except for one thing... you are not here. You wait for me. When I become popular, I will definitely take you over when I go to the Spring Festival Gala."
"Charlotte, it's getting late, my mother told me to go to bed."
"Isn't it already winter vacation? What time is it now?"
"The college entrance examination is less than half a year away. We are different from you."
"That's true." Charlotte said, "Good night then. We'll talk on the phone when we have time."
"good."
"Don't forget, the fourteenth program, see you in 1998."
"Can't forget."
Qiu Ya hung up the phone, faced the slightly complicated eyes of her parents, pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. She closed the door, brushed her hands on the piano surface, spread her legs, and turned very lightly on the spotless wooden floor. Circle, lie down on the princess bed with the white bear doll, look at the wind chimes hanging above the head and narrow his eyes with a smile.
If her parents saw this scene, they would probably think that the words of the boy who called just now made her happy, but Qiu Ya knew very well that it was not the case. She inserted her arm under the white bear doll, and when she took it out, There is one more book with a very beautiful cover, titled "Shan Shan Comes to Eat".
Lin Yue once told her something a few days ago. Mr. Qian from Beijing October Literature and Art Publishing House came to the school last time. The two talked for a long time, but it was not "The First Intimacy" that finally established a cooperative relationship and signed a contract. "Contact", but another book, because the other party kept the royalties too low. After all, it is serialized online. You can see the content by logging into NetEase BBS. Logically speaking, this will weaken readers' desire to buy physical books. .
He also said that this is a book written specifically for her, which can be regarded as a summary and extension of the relationship between the two.
Until the day of winter vacation, when he threw his winter vacation homework to her, he stuffed this book over and said it was a sample sent by the magazine.
It took her three days to read the book, and she thought she understood it. All the things her deskmate couldn't say were included in the book. The story of the hero and heroine in the book was basically between him and Lin Yue's social version.
Two weeks ago, Qi Xiaoxiao's appearance made her arrogance because of Charlotte returning to school to express her love disappear without a trace. The appearance of this book made her think that Lin Yue could not do without her, so just now Charlotte called She didn't take it to heart at all what he said on the phone. She only remembered that the song he was going to sing on the Spring Festival Gala was called "Meet in 1998."
She believes that no matter how well written a love song is, it cannot be as sincere as expressing love in a book.
…
Three days later.
New Year's Eve.
The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and the falling snow welcomes the good year.
Fireworks rising from time to time in the distance illuminated the scattered snow flakes.
During the current Spring Festival, the biggest pastime is for the family to gather around the stove, eat a steaming New Year’s Eve dinner, and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Ma Dongmei's family is like this, Wang Yu's family is like this, Zhang Yang's family is like this, and Xia Luo's family is like this, but there are more people. Seven aunts and eight aunts are all here because they want to watch his show.
Qiu Ya was dragged by her grandma to watch TV together. The old lady even pulled her and asked her who was her classmate.
At this moment, the phone on the coffee table rang. She walked over, picked up the phone and put it to her ear, her expression changed.
