I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 300 How Embarrassing This Is

Great Britain.

University Clubs.

The "ABC and Dog Author Book Reading Club" where Professor Kalts serves as the instructor,
Recently, as the number of readers of the works of the two authors has increased, so has the number of people joining this playful society.

Right now, club gatherings.

In the room, the readers of the dog author and the readers of ABC sit on both sides,
A little... They looked at each other in blank dismay, each silent.

On weekdays, in reality, everyone is gentle and shy,

However, in the community group, there are still some small frictions from time to time.

Before coming to the club today,

Readers on both sides were still in the community group, and some small disputes occurred.

However, readers on one side praised some small details of a book,

The reader on the other side said it was good, but...then talked about another author's book.

Then everyone 'cited classics' and argued for a while.

It was nothing,
When everyone gathers offline, act as if nothing happened.
I don't know, there is news at this time.

'Dog Author' and 'ABC' know each other and are still good friends.

Somehow, after the quarrel, the readers on both sides who are facing each other at the moment are a little embarrassed...

At this moment, Professor Kalts sat beside him,
I bought coffee when I came with a cup, and looked at the people on both sides with a smile,

He doesn't occupy the side, it's not a big deal just to watch the excitement.

But after a while of silence, Professor Kalts still spoke out.

"...I didn't expect these two writers to be the same as our readers. They are both rivals and friends."

Professor Kalts coughed dryly, then said with a smile.

The people on both sides were a little more embarrassed, but they didn't look at each other again.

They returned to their usual appearance, each reading a different novel.

"Ahem... It seems that the new book "Star Dream" by 'Dog Author' has been updated again."

Professor Kalts spoke again.

Immediately afterwards, a group of readers raised their heads one after another.

He looked at a person in the club... Xi Yuan.

Xi Yuan met the eyes of the crowd, and was somewhat... nervous?
When he was reading the novel, he translated it for his roommate by the way,
Then other people in the club heard it and followed suit.

He felt that his translation level somewhat hurt the evaluation of the author's works.

But other people in the community obviously don't think so,
They are hungry and want to hear the content of the new book of the dog author as soon as possible.

After all, the author of the dog has only published three books overseas. After reading it, I am really interested in other works of the author of the dog.

what?
There are still many ABC readers?
Then I support ABC's works, and it doesn't affect my reading of novels by dog ​​authors.

I criticize and criticize!
Well, I listen with a critical mind!

"...Let me translate by the way, my translation level is average...I will try my best."

Facing the eyes of the crowd, Xi Yuan could only say this,

Then he took out his phone and opened the non-ink novel.

Turn to the latest chapter of "Star Dream",
Xi Yuan couldn't help but think of the fourth chapter of the story and where he is now.

In the University Club of Great Britain, I taught "Star Dream" to the students of Great Britain,
The story of 'The Star on the Flag'.

Why does it feel a little weird.

But thinking about the former club, there were students from Great Britain and students from the Baiqi country who sang "Our Team Towards the Sun".

It doesn't seem so strange anymore.

……

"Ji Zhuo...how old is ABC? 35? Forty?"

"Almost, just a few dozen years old anyway."

"How high? 1.7 meters, 1.8 meters?"

"Almost, it's only a meter or so anyway."

at night,

Ji Zhuo still went out to eat.

Yun Qingmu arrived as scheduled after receiving the news.

With the dishes served in front of him, Ji Zhuo was busy cooking to fill his hungry stomach,
But Yun Qingmu didn't know if she had eaten, she was obviously more interested in another matter.

Listening to Ji Zhuo's answer,
Yun Qingmu was silent for a while,

It's like saying nothing.

"Then when is his new book going to be released? Is there any news?"

"No."

Ji Zhuo raised his head, thought about it seriously, and then shook his head.

For the new book, he has no clear idea yet.

There are many inspirations, but they have not been confirmed.

"Oh... what about Ji Zhuo's new book? After "Star Dream" is finished?"

Yun Qingmu propped her chin and looked at Ji Zhuo.

"By the way, Ji Zhuo, why didn't you participate in the presentation of the British Literature Prize this time through a video call connection?"

Woman, you have too many problems.

Ji Zhuo simply put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and looked at Yun Qingmu.

He just looked at Yun Qingmu and remained silent.

"Ok?"

Seeing Ji Zhuo looking at her like that, Yun Qingmu felt guilty for no reason.

Then after thinking about it, there is nothing to feel guilty about, I just care about what Ji Zhuo needs to be busy with,

I didn't participate in receiving the award, and it turned out to be such a misunderstanding.

I am confident!I am asking this as a reader, and this is what the reader cares about.

"Ji Zhuo?"

"I'm busy with other things, I'm busy writing the script of "Hour Hand", and I'm busy with the new book. I don't have time to think about the award presentation, so I just asked the publisher to pick it up."

Ji Zhuo looked at Yun Qingmu, and said another word.

"Is the "Hour Hand" anime coming soon?"

Ji Zhuo's explanation seems to have some truth, but in fact it is still unreasonable.

At least for Yun Qingmu who knows Ji Zhuo's work and rest habits, it can't be justified.

But Ji Zhuo obviously didn't want to say anything here, and Yun Qingmu didn't ask further.

Maybe, there is really a gentleman's agreement between 'Dog Author' and 'ABC',
'Dog Author' lost, so gave 'ABC' the honor of receiving the award ceremony?

Yun Qingmu couldn't help but daydream,
But she didn't think Ji Zhuo had lost.

Or is it that Ji Zhuo made an agreement with 'ABC', he won't lose if he won the prize alone.

Yun Qingmu's thoughts drifted further and further away.

Then should I care about Ji Zhuo?

Will Ji Zhuo feel uncomfortable?
It doesn't look like it's uncomfortable.

"Ji Zhuo?"

"Well... let's eat, the food is cold."

Looking at Yun Qingmu's expression of not knowing what to think,

Ji Zhuo could tell where Yun Qingmu's thoughts had gone,
One sentence interrupted.

Then get bored.

Yun Qingmu was silent for a while, then picked up the vegetables and ate,

I ate with a bulging face.

……

"Last night we talked about..."

"Talking about that strange person, I asked the platoon leader and other soldiers if they got separated from the main force."

Capital New District.

As the night darkened, the man's family also finished their meal.

The TV was not turned on, the little girl moved a stool and sat in front of her father's lap,

The man sat on the sofa, picked up his mobile phone, and told his daughter the story of the new chapter of "Star Dream".

The man just mentioned,
The little girl followed suit and said loudly.

It seems to be telling her father that she still remembers the content of the story told last night and where it went.

"My baby has a really good memory."

"whee."

The man praised, and the little girl smiled happily.

Then she raised her head again and looked at her father, wanting to hear her father continue talking.

"Well, let's continue talking..."

"It was still in that ruined temple, after the strange visitor asked cautiously,"

"The ruined temple fell silent. The soldier who spoke to him just now turned his head and looked at the platoon leader. The other two soldiers resting against the wall opened their eyes and remained silent in the night."

"Yes, we got separated from the main force."

The platoon leader did not deny it.

There is no way to deny the obvious.

And the strange visitor listened to the platoon leader's answer,

Build up more courage and want to talk to the platoon leader again,

Just at this time, the stomach of the strange visitor rang.

"Gollum..."
