I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 275 Stars
"...Because it is inconvenient to come to the scene, let's invite Mr. 'ABC' to deliver his acceptance speech through a video connection."

"……grateful……"

Ji Zhuo put on the mask, connected the video connection,
As usual, a short acceptance speech was delivered.

Then I heard a few rainbow farts from the award show host,
The video connection ends.

As for the trophy, we have to wait for Carol to send it to him.

During the video connection, I also saw the editor-in-chief Carol who was going to lead the project.

Some excitement can be seen on the face.

"Ah~"

After the video connection ends,

Ji Zhuo turned on his computer, took off the mask he had just put on, and threw it aside, yawning, he was about to get up and go back to the house.

It's two or three o'clock in the morning. Although he might still be checking his phone on the bed in the bedroom at this time, does it feel the same on the bed?

But as soon as he got up, Ji Zhuo picked up the mask that had been thrown aside just now.

When will it be useful next time...

Taking a look at the mask, Ji Zhuo found a place to put it away.

Then he yawned and went back to the bedroom.

……

On the other side, after Ji Zhuo received the award,

The number of viewers of the online live broadcast of the European Literary Architecture Awards Ceremony also began to drop sharply.
Many readers came here because of Ji Zhuo. Now that Ji Zhuo has finished accepting the award, he naturally followed suit.

Of course... there is also the reason why Ji Zhuo's awards were awarded later.

"Cool! It is indeed my favorite author! Full of mystery and unique style, I like this kind of author!"

Great Britain, University,
in the dormitory.

Xi Yuan's Britannia roommate just finished watching the awards live broadcast,
While closing the laptop, he was still talking excitedly.

When I was already listening to this British roommate watching the live broadcast, I don’t know how many times I shouted similar words excitedly,

Anyway, when "ABC" received the award via video connection, 'ABC' said every word.

The roommate followed suit with admiration.

Anyway, 'ABC' says anything is good, and everything is cool.

Xi Yuan, who was also watching the live broadcast, felt his scalp tingling.

"Didn't you say earlier that 'Dog Author' is your favorite author?"

After watching the live broadcast now, Xi Yuan also turned off the computer, and couldn't help but say something.

"No! That's different!"

"What's the difference?"

"Oh! Xihara! Are you embarrassing me, asking me to choose my favorite among these two excellent writers?"

"They're all my favorite authors...yes! They're all my favorite authors."

Seeming to have found the most satisfactory answer, the roommate Great Britain nodded again while talking.

As for Xi Yuan, after hearing what his roommate said, he felt that he had nothing to say.

He turned around and picked up his phone again.

"Oh! By the way, the two novels of 'Dog Author' are about to be published in English. I have to see if they are released."

"How can it be so fast."

"That's right. Well, waiting is always annoying and annoying."

The roommate who glanced and sighed again,

Xi Yuan lowered his head again, still looking at his phone.

On the screen of the mobile phone, a non-ink novel is opened,

On the bookshelf, the new book that the dog author is still serializing is the first one on the shelf.

"Star Dream" Xi Yuan is also following up.

Haven't seen today's update yet.

I don't care about the roommate who is sighing here anymore,

Xi Yuan opened the dog author's update today,

Just watch it again, and soon immerse yourself in the story again.

……

The story of the third chapter of "Star Dream" continues to develop.

The woman was alone in the room, and after recording all kinds of complicated things on a piece of paper, with what if,

Then I checked the places where those exhortations might be used,
After confirming that there is nothing wrong with it, the woman put away the notebook with instructions.

Then I sat on the stool, not knowing what to think.

After a pause, she went to the balcony again, put away the clothes that were dried yesterday,

Then in the bedroom, tidying up and folding clothes.

Just keep her own, her daughter's clothes,
After tidying up and straightening it out like this, the woman's eye sockets became inexplicably red again.

In her bedroom closet, many of her husband's clothes were still there.

Her daughter wouldn't let her throw it away, and she herself didn't want to throw it away, so she just stayed.

At this moment, she put down the clothes she had just folded in her hands, and the woman clenched her husband's clothes in the closet tightly with both hands.

Trembling all over, with red eyes, she moved her husband's clothes closer to her body, and then hugged the clothes.

Finally, there was the sound of dripping tears hitting the face of the clothes,
There was a suppressed cry coming from the clothes—the woman buried her head in the husband's clothes.

……

The author of this story is too detailed.

Like a sudden burst in calm,

The woman in the book weeps repressedly.

As a reader of the book, Xi Yuan couldn't help but blushed,
The mental sourness can't be stopped.

It took several breaths to suppress the sour emotions.

It's just that I have never been willing to take my eyes off the story on the phone screen, and continue to look down.

……

The plot in the article continues.

The point of view reappears on the little girl.

When going out,
Her mother gave her more pocket money today,

Maybe it's compensation for bullying her yesterday, or getting her up early to cook this morning?
The girl couldn't figure it out either.

But in the end it was taken.

It's just that the stickers bought yesterday are almost used again. In the end, the little girl exchanged all her pocket money for these stickers for folding stars at the school's convenience store.

Now, it's recess.

In the classroom, other students gathered together in twos and threes to say something interesting, or play some interesting games.

The little girl Yuxi was sitting on the seat, carefully folding the stars with stickers.

She carefully put away every folded star and put it in a transparent plastic bag in the desk drawer.

"Xu Yuxi, what are you doing?"

When she came back from the same table, she saw the little girl's movements, asked a question, and then leaned over curiously,

"Why fold this? Do you want me to fold it for you?"

"No, no need."

The little girl hugged her sticker closer to her, and shook her head firmly.

"Oh……"

The same table was also a girl, seeing the appearance of the little girl Yuxi, she didn't say anything, but still glanced at Yuxi from time to time, a little curious.

But the little girl continued to fold her own star with concentration and earnestness.

At this moment,
The class bell rang,
The few students who were playing around hurriedly ran to their seats,
Someone accidentally bumped into the girl's hand while passing by the girl's side,

So the girl just folded a star and fell to the ground.

"...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

The man was a little embarrassed,
The girl just looked at the star that fell on the ground, reached out to pick it up,

I just shook my head at that person, then looked at the dusty and dirty star, pursed my lips, feeling a little distressed,

Although her father never told her that if the stars are dirty, she can't have them.

But for her, that's it.

"How about I fold it for you."

"No, no need!"

The girl shook her head firmly, then put the dirty star into her pocket.

in the text.

time flies.

It was afternoon in a blink of an eye.

The girl folded the day into stars and put them carefully in her schoolbag.
Afraid of being crushed, I put it on the top of the schoolbag.

Then he carried his schoolbag and walked out of the school with his head buried.

at the school gate,

The girl didn't look up or linger.

Her mother rarely came to pick her up, and she always had to work late.

The school is not far from her home, the road is a wide street, and she usually goes back by herself.

"Rain Creek!"

Someone called her, the girl raised her head,
But saw her mother.

Her mother came to pick her up today.

Seeing the girl looking over, the mother smiled at the little girl and walked over.

But the girl was not happy, she just showed doubts in her eyes, and then walked over.

"Do not you need to work today?"

the girl asked suspiciously.

"I'm done early."

Mother just replied like this.

"Let's go, let's go back...and go to the supermarket by the way, let's buy the milk that I said I wanted to buy in the morning, and then buy some other things."

The mother said while holding the girl's shoulders.

The girl straightened the shoulder straps of her schoolbag, the stars folded today are still in her schoolbag,
In fact, she wanted to go home quickly and put those folded stars into the jar.

It's just that her mother said to ask for a supermarket.

The girl didn't say anything, just nodded, and followed her mother to the supermarket.

……

"Yuxi, go and wash your hands, and then we'll cook."

After buying vegetables in the supermarket, the girl and her mother returned home.

Once back home, the girl ran into the bedroom.

After waiting for a while, I came out with my schoolbag again.

Then the girl put down her schoolbag, washed her hands, and walked into the kitchen in silence.

The cooking tonight is still the same as last night,
The kitchen was much quieter than the night before,

From cutting vegetables to cooking, the already smart little girl basically knew how to cook without asking her mother to talk more.

It's just that even though the girl is holding a spatula, enduring the fear of splashing oil from the crackling pot while stirring the vegetables,
Still can't hide the fact that the girl is still young, even if she is cooking, she still needs to step on two stools.

Mother watched silently from the side,

When the oil in the pot splashed a little, I wanted to reach out several times, but I held back.

Just when the dishes were about to be fried, when it was just getting dark outside the window,
At this time, the door was knocked.

"Dong dong, dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door.

Mother breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yuxi, go and open the door, I'll fill it up here."

The mother seemed to take the spatula from the girl with a sigh of relief.
But without letting the girl see it, she lowered her head and said so.

The girl looked at her mother, then got down from the stool,
Without saying a word, he ran to open the door.

The woman waited for her daughter to open the door, and stir-fried the vegetables in the pot a few times.

Then the dishes in the pot were filled,

I glanced at the rice in the rice cooker next to me, and it was almost ready.

After hesitating for a while, the woman turned off the fire on the stove, and took the cooking pot to the sink to wash it in water.

After just a few washes, the woman turned off the water again and stopped moving.

Didn't the daughter go to open the door?

Why only hear the sound of the door opening, but no other movement?
The woman was about to turn her head when she heard her daughter's cry in surprise,
"Dad! Dad! Dad!"

The woman froze all at once.

She didn't even know whether to keep turning around.

Immediately afterwards, she heard the familiar voice that had been faintly ringing in her ears many times sounded clearly again.

"...Hey, my baby girl, daddy is back, are you happy?"

"...Dad...Dad..."

The daughter was still crying and kept shouting.

The woman in the kitchen finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned around,
Moved quickly out of the kitchen,
Then I saw that familiar, haunted figure appearing at the door of the living room,

That is her husband.

He was wearing the last clothes he put on before he left, which she bought for him,

It is his favorite clothes, he has worn it for several years, and he is not willing to throw it away.

At this moment, her husband had just taken off his coat and was dragging and changing his shoes.

While coaxing and crying, wronged the daughter who rushed over,

It was as if nothing had happened before, and her husband was just returning from get off work as usual at this time.

The woman walked to the living room, looked at the familiar face, and stopped her movements.

The eye sockets started to get redder and redder, but she didn't make a sound.

"...Dad... Mom bullied me, Mom bullied me!"

The grievances accumulated by the little girl these days finally poured out when facing her father,
In her father's arms, crying and being wronged,

"How could mom bully you? Did you make mom angry?"

"No! Mom insists on letting me cook..."

"Mom wants you to learn to cook by yourself, to learn by yourself... so that you can grow up, you know?"

After changing the shoes, the father picked up the girl,
"Well...Dad, I miss you so much...Dad...I really miss you so much, Dad...Dad, you are finally back..."

The girl's eyes were still red, and she kept talking in a crying voice.

"Dad knows, my precious daughter is wronged, but isn't Dad back now? It's all right, Dad is here, Dad is here..."

The man loved the little girl, hugged the little girl and then looked at the woman standing beside her with red eyes,
Facing his wife, the man showed a smile on his face,

"Wife, I'm back."

"Ah."

The woman just responded shallowly like this,

Like her husband just came back from work today,

She didn't even ask a question.

It's just that after this answer, the tears started to fall down.

"...I'm going to serve the meal, the meal is ready."

Turning around in a hurry, the woman walked towards the kitchen.

And the little girl was still hugging her father, crying heartbreakingly.

She was really wronged and missed her father too much.

"……dad……"

"Oh...it's all right, see my baby is sad...it's all right..."

The man closed the door behind him, took his daughter to sit on the sofa in the living room, and coaxed her.

"...Dad, I thought you...would never come back again...uh...Dad..."

"Mom said you lied to me... Woooo... Dad... I miss you so much..."

The girl was crying, sobbing non-stop, and crying uncontrollably.

"It's okay... How could Dad lie to you... Isn't Dad coming back soon?"

The man kept coaxing his daughter.

The girl cried for a long time before she gradually stopped.

"Dad... where have you been?"

The girl with still red eyes and wet tears was in her father's arms, and asked her father again.

It was a question her mother hadn't asked, or even dared to ask.

The woman who came out of the kitchen stopped when she heard the girl's words.

But he didn't turn his head to look.

"...Dad... I went to a place far, far away. It's just too far away, so I came back just now."

"...Then Dad, you must be very tired after coming back from such a long distance."

"It's okay... Seeing my precious daughter miss Dad so much, Dad won't be tired at once..."

The woman re-entered the kitchen, her eyes were still red.

The girl turned her head and looked at her mother,

Then he leaned closer to her father's ear and asked her a very puzzled question.

"Dad...you let me fold the stars, I folded them all...I have to fold them well...but my jar is not full of stars yet."

said the girl.

Her father put his arms around the little girl, but just smiled and stroked the girl's hair,

"Because Dad misses Yuxi too, so he came back earlier."

While speaking, the man turned his head again and looked at his wife in the kitchen.

Though the little girl's glass jar was not yet filled with stars,

But someone's glass jar is already full of stars.
