"...

"tell me!"

"what?"

"Everything." Fang Hui said, "Do you know why I don't know you? I'm really sorry -"

"No, you shouldn't know me now. What I want to say is, I know... why this is the case." Jiang Xue lowered her voice, "Because for you, nothing has happened yet, but for me Say, well, I've known you for a long time."

"How long?"

"About fourteen years. I was six years old when I first met you."

......"

In the quiet room, Lin Youcheng was writing a story at his desk. Perhaps it was because Lin Youcheng was not as eager as before to rush the manuscript, and now Lin Youcheng could write the manuscript more calmly.

Especially now that he wants to adapt and write such a love novel, he naturally needs to seriously think about how to adapt this special love novel.

Lin Youcheng put down his pen, looked at the text he had written, and then turned to the first page. His eyes fell on the novel title at the top——

"The Time Traveler's Wife"!
Yes, the love novel that Lin Youcheng is writing now is the one that sold more than 500 million copies worldwide and copyrighted it in more than 40 countries as soon as it was published. It has been listed in the top 100 beautiful countries for several years. Among them, "The Time Traveler's Wife" was rated as one of the 100 indispensable books in life by England's "Guardian".

To be honest, the novel "The Time Traveler's Wife" is a science fiction love novel. The main story line is not complicated, it is the love between the male protagonist and his wife.

However, it is obvious that Lin Youcheng needs to adapt this love story. Fang Hui had a beautiful family when he was a child, but when he witnessed his mother being killed in an accident, he began to experience symptoms of time travel. Later, Fang Hui accidentally time traveled. He met his wife Jiang Xue in the middle of the school. After three years of dating, the two got married and had a daughter. They lived happily. But Fang Hui still suffered from the problem of "time travel". Shortly before his death, Fang Hui conducted a time travel to the future and reunited with Jiang Xue, who had been waiting so hard.

The novel does not provide readers with a reason to love, it only provides a reason to wait: waiting because of love.

Love doesn't need a reason, maybe it really doesn't.

"I have no choice. He's coming. I'm here."

Although Lin Youcheng did not doubt the touchingness of this love story, he just did not know whether mainstream literature would accept and agree with his novel.

However, Lin Youcheng is also very clear. As he has always said, what he writes is not scar literature, nor popular literature. What he has always written is people's literature.

In his opinion, this special love story will definitely mobilize many people.

And in fact, don’t underestimate traditional literature. You must know that even the “Life and Death Fatigue” written by Mo Mou is quite special. It tells the story of a landowner who was wrongfully killed and went through six reincarnations, becoming a donkey, a cow, a pig, a dog, The monkey finally reincarnated into a big-headed baby with a congenital incurable disease. The big-headed baby talked endlessly about the strange feelings he had when he was an animal, as well as the story of the fatigue of life and death for more than half a century.

In fact, although science fiction literature in the 1904s was niche, it still developed. You must know that domestic science fiction novels started in , one year earlier than the movie. The reference works are "Moon Colony Novel" by Huang Jiang Diaosou and "New Moon Colony" by Xu Nianci. "The Story of Mr. Faluo", it is obvious that the science fiction literature at that time was half-literary and half-white, which made it a bit difficult to read, and the content was closer to the feel of classical legends.

As for the first science fiction novel after the liberation of New China, "Sleepwalking in the Solar System" written by Zhang Ran, and then "Death Light on the Coral Island" published in 1978, the author Tong Enzheng became the first science fiction novel to win the National Outstanding Short Story Award. Writer, it was later adapted into the first Chinese science fiction film in the s. Yes, even the science fiction novel won the National Award for Outstanding Short Story.

Although the science fiction of "The Time Traveler's Wife" is just a concept, Lin Youcheng feels that maybe because of this "The Time Traveler's Wife", he will open a door to mystery novels with the previous "The Devotion of Suspect X" Just like that, it opens the door to science fiction.

Of course, this science fiction novel is more about love.

At this time, it should be a novel story for many people. After all, this novel involves fascinating science fiction concepts and touching love.

Lin Youcheng knows very well that this novel uses exquisite conception and extraordinary charm to tell the most romantic love in concise, vivid and elastic language, which is a person slowly growing old while waiting for another person.

Like all love, there are joys of soul and body, emotional attachment and spiritual loss. The difference is that its mental loss is so huge that it is completely beyond the ability of ordinary people to bear the weight. But this is not a tragedy, but an ode to love that transcends time and space.

Lin Youcheng couldn't help but feel a little dazed when he looked at the title of the novel.

"The time traveler's wife?"

"He can't be considered a time traveler, but as a widower, his wife..."

Lin Youcheng shook his head and got rid of all the thoughts in his mind. The most important thing for him now is to adapt this novel well. You must know that the original novel is a story that takes place in the beautiful country, and the novel uses an internal perspective, that is, narration The author uses the feeling and consciousness of a certain character to convey everything from the perspective of his vision, hearing and feelings.

The narrator enters the story and scene and not only plays the role in the novel, but also serves as the person who reads the voice-over for the novel: the storyline in the novel is told to the reader by the protagonist himself, and his words are more intimate than those from an omniscient perspective. More credible.

Lin Youcheng thinks that some people may not believe in the existence of time travelers or the existence of such science fiction love when reading this love novel.

But in Lin Youcheng's view, just as Jiang Xue and Fang Hui said -

Lin Youcheng bent over his desk and continued writing.

"It's what you once told me. You know, the chance that two people with something in common can meet is said to be one in 200,000, and the chance of knowing someone is one in two million.

The chance that they will get closer and closer in the future is one in 20 million, the chance of becoming friends is one in 200 million, the chance of becoming close friends is one in 2 billion, and the chance of meeting a soul mate is ——

One in six billion! "

……

Meeting love in the long river of time is itself a romantic story full of science fiction.

Yes, love is science fiction.
