A dark space can sometimes give people the greatest sense of security.
after all.
Without light, there would be no shadow.
When the world is completely dark, that is the moment when we truly treat everyone equally.
There is no clear black and white, right and wrong, and no color anymore.
All the darkness is hidden in the corner and will never be discovered.
Chi Yan hung up the call, then expressionlessly added the new number to the blacklist again.
After a moment, the phone screen lit up again.
[Zheng Qiyue]: Brother, are you okay? What did old man Shen say to you
[Zheng Qiyue]: It’s also my fault. I didn’t expect him to come suddenly. Maybe he came to supervise me writing my thesis and happened to hear it. You didn’t have a fight, did you
[Zheng Qiyue]: The old man seemed very angry. When he returned the phone to me just now, I felt like he wanted to eat me.
Chi Yan replied, "It's okay."
Then he reminded her again: "Just pretend I didn't mention what I just said to you. Don't mention my relationship with that girl in front of him. Thank you."
After a long time, the other party repeatedly input and withdrew the answer. Finally, he did not ask any further questions and just replied with "OK".
Chi Yan put away his phone, raised his hand and pressed his brows, letting his mind slowly clear.
Time passes by little by little.
After a long time, he opened his laptop and typed the word "wasteland" in the search box.
The encyclopedia entry pops up first.
"The Wasteland" (a novel written by Cheng Yushang).
After publication, he won the Muhua Award in mainland China and the "And Sadka" Award for Italian Literature.
A film of the same name is currently being filmed.
Chi Yan scrolled the mouse without any emotion and scrolled down.
After submitting the manuscript, he never cared about any news related to the book again. Today was the first time.
The introduction on the encyclopedia is very simple.
"The Wasteland" tells the story of Tao Yu, a thin young Chinese man who joined the frenzy of gold rush in California in the mid-19th century in the western United States due to the poor living conditions. Tao Yu was trapped in the mine for 47 days, competing and fighting with gold diggers from all over the world, and finally gained wealth and growth."
Below are some reader reviews.
"Against the grand backdrop of the gold rush in the West, Mr. Cheng uses the perspective of small people as an entry point. The distortion of human nature and the desperate reality are vividly portrayed, but the ending is extremely healing."
"As expected of Cheng Yushang, the sunflower of the end of the world, he can always discover kindness and strength in despair."
"The style is very challenging. Writer Cheng can be regarded as the epitome of writing power among contemporary young and middle-aged writers."
Sunflowers of the end of the world.
Kindness and strength in despair.
Chi Yan stared at these two sentences for a while.
Before he could react, soft footsteps were heard on the stairs.
Chi Yan subconsciously turned on a light and looked over.
On the stairs, the girl in a thin dress was rubbing her temples as she walked down. Her face was full of fatigue and discomfort from being drunk, but her steps were still steady.
She walked down the stairs step by step and into the warm yellow light.
She looked at the dark windows and dim lights, and said in confusion, "Chi Yan, have I slept for so long? It's already dark."
