Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 471 Liao Yaquan awakens! Is this what it means to be a human being?

In Liao Yaquan's eyes, the protagonist Ye Zang's life is painful, just like her life.

For Chinese literati such as Lin Yutang, Xun Ge'er, and Zhang Taiyan, the experience brought by "No Longer Human" is nothing more than an exploration of the abyss of human nature and a pessimism about social human nature.

After all, even if Japanese culture originated from China, the pathological evolution that occurred under the evolution of a small country with a small population is something that normal Chinese people cannot understand.

But Liao Yaquan, a native Japanese, could empathize with them and even feel a shock deep in his soul.

"On the surface, I always put on a smiling face to greet people, but in my heart I was trying my best to please others in a very difficult situation with a success rate of only one in a thousand. I was trembling with fear and sweating to please others."

".I can see the nature of animals more terrifying than lions, crocodiles, and dragons on people's angry faces. They usually seem to hide their true nature, but once they get a chance, they will suddenly reveal the terrifying side of human beings in a rage."

"A coward is afraid of happiness. He will get hurt if he touches cotton. Sometimes he will get hurt by happiness. I want to part ways with him as soon as possible before I get hurt."

These sharp words, like giant monsters one after another, ruthlessly hit the defense line in Liao Yaquan's heart.

The past flashed before her eyes like a slide show.

It could be the scene of being abandoned by parents as a child, or being ruthlessly tortured in spy school, or being shattered by others after showing vulnerability.

Over time, Liao Yaquan began to get used to hiding himself and burying his emotions in viciousness and indifference.

She seemed to have put on countless masks, turning herself into a machine and completely sealing herself away deep in her heart.

As they drank and chatted, the generals and officials showed their greasy and ugly faces.

A boss who shouts loyalty on the surface, but is actually extremely fanatical and morbid in his heart, madly pursuing his own interests.

There are also ordinary people who are numb and indifferent.

Once upon a time, Liao Yaquan's life was completely occupied by these images.

It is not very obvious on a normal day, but after watching this work, combined with the feelings of the protagonist Yezo, and the real and detailed appearance of Japanese society.

Liao Yaquan felt like a chicken on the chopping board, stripped of all the hair and presented naked in front of every "diner".

When my eyes fell upon these words, it seemed as if an invisible force was gripping my heart tightly.

"Has Mr. Bao really never been to Japan?"

Liao Yaquan had doubts in his heart.

Then I was attracted by the content of the book again.

Her knuckles turned white as she clutched the pages tightly, occasionally pausing to look out the window, her eyes empty.

"Just when I was about to forget, a strange bird flew over and pecked at the wound in my memory with its beak. The shameful and sinful memories of the past suddenly emerged before my eyes. I was restless and terrified to the point of wanting to scream."

The tormenting words in the novel this time launched a full-scale attack on Liao Yaquan's heart.

It was like a meteor streaking across the night sky, a flood breaking through a dam, and shells pouring out.

At this moment, Liao Yaquan was completely defeated.

"Is this what it's like to be a human being?"

She murmured questions, and a tear ran down her cheek, appearing crystal clear in the moonlight.

The plot in the novel shines into reality.

Being teased, used, trampled on and bullied, but always powerless to resist.

It's like a lonely boat drifting on the sea, unable to find a harbor to dock.

In an instant, all the strength in his body was gone. Liao Yaquan leaned against the desk, as if his soul was drained out. He fell along the edge of the desk and sat on the ground with a "thump" sound.

But the next moment, she turned her gaze back to the words on the manuscript as if eagerly.

"Master, is this woman crazy?"

Cao Yanhai was a little bit unbelievable. After seeing Liao Yaquan's reaction in the study, he could not understand the other party's motive at all.

Is it really just to watch Bao Guowei's works and then be moved by them?

“Master, your work is amazing, but her reaction is too exaggerated. If it is a disc to obtain intelligence, isn’t the best way to get it and run away?

Isn't it a trap to stay where you are?"

Cao Yanhai was considered to be well-informed and had seen spies before, but this was the first time he had seen anything like this.

Bao Guowei obviously guessed what had happened and touched his chin somewhat awkwardly.

"Have you ever seen a Japanese?"

"what?"

Cao Yanhai was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Bao Guowei was hinting that the woman in front of him was Japanese?

Indeed, in Cao Yanhai's impression, the Japanese are a very special group of people.

Their mood swings tend to be large and much more exaggerated than other people.

Cao Yanhai got this point instantly.

Liao Yaquan is Japanese? Maybe even a Japanese spy?

Cao Yanhai naturally had some idea about Liao Yaquan's weirdness, but he didn't bring it up when he saw Bao Guowei was being very secretive.

now
Thinking that the other party was a Japanese and had been lurking for so long, Cao Yanhai became furious.

He immediately said angrily: "Master, wait a minute, I will catch this little bitch and torture her severely!"

Cao Yanhai is an impatient person, but Bao Guowei's thoughts are more complicated.

He stared at the movements inside and whispered, "Wait and see."

Judging from Liao Yaquan's performance, arresting her is not a good option.

Liao Yaquan is indeed a Japanese bitch, but for so long, she has not shown any intention of harming Bao Guowei and the people around her.

If there was, Bao Guowei would have eliminated her long ago. Bao Guowei would not hesitate to do such a ruthless thing as destroying a beautiful woman.

Now it seems that the other party seems to be wavering?

Bao Guowei keenly sensed the opportunity. With Liao Yaquan's help, it would be much easier for his film No Longer Human to be spread in Japan.

With Liao Yaquan's identity, if he could be turned and become a double agent, it would bring huge benefits.

At this moment, Liao Yaquan's actions in the house seemed to begin to change. She did not finish reading the contents of the manuscript. Considering the content of the manuscript, it was obviously not appropriate to finish reading it in a short period of time.

She wiped the tears from her face, carefully put the manuscript back into the drawer, and her expression seemed to become resolute.

The movement of leaving was clean and neat. Liao Yaquan even destroyed the barely noticeable mechanism originally set up next to a window.

This is what she relies on to enter the study.

Bao Guowei narrowed his eyes. It was obvious that he had known about this mechanism for a long time but had just pretended not to notice it.

Cao Yanhai couldn't help but wonder, "Hey, this little girl, has she finally found her conscience? Or is she just pretending to be nice to us?"

Seeing Liao Yaquan gradually leaving, Cao Yanhai couldn't help but speak anxiously.

"What should we do, Master? Should we capture her?"

After thinking for a while, Bao Guowei shook his head and said, "No need. It's not a good idea to alert the enemy. Now the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark. Observation is the most important thing.

You should pay close attention recently and observe this woman's movements carefully to see if she is really willing to set things right."

Cao Yanhai was reckless but not stupid. He nodded and said, "I will listen to Master!"

When I returned to the room, it was already late at night.

Unlike before, when the two of them needed to avoid suspicion, now Bao Guowei can finally step into Zhang Nianyue's boudoir openly without worrying about any accusations.

The rice has been cooked, and all that is left between him and Zhang Nianyue is a wedding.

But as soon as he walked into the room, Bao Guowei could sense that the atmosphere was not right.

Zhang Nianyue sat alone at the head of the bed, flipping through a magazine gloomily.

Bao Guowei was a little curious, so he tiptoed closer and saw that there were many scandals about himself in the magazine.

Such as some news about Wanrong, Hu Die and the British princess.

Seeing this, Bao Guowei couldn't help but laugh and said jokingly.

"What's wrong? Do you believe this rumor, lady? When we were in England, I was with you every day." Bao Guowei had a clear conscience. Usually, it was Zhang Nianyue who helped to check the letters he received, so he was naturally not afraid of suspicion.

"You're back." Zhang Nianyue raised her head, her eyes seemed a little confused.

Bao Guowei took the other person into his arms and spoke in a gentle tone.

"What happened? Tell me."

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Nianyue seemed to be struggling, and then she suddenly said something.

"Can I take a look at your book, the one you and the old man were arguing about last night? I'm curious."

Zhang Nianyue looked unconfident.

"That book?" Bao Guowei thought for a moment. "Maybe it's not suitable for you. It's not a book that makes people feel comfortable. Otherwise, Master wouldn't have reacted so strongly."

"Have you reconciled?"

"The matter is resolved, don't you still know me?"

"Oh." Zhang Nianyue lowered her head, seeming very disappointed. She obviously heard a rejection from Bao Guowei's words.

Bao Guowei saw this and hugged his fiancée tightly from behind, his hands unconsciously attracted to some places.

"You scoundrel!" Zhang Nianyue slapped Bao Guowei's hand coquettishly.

"But I can give you a rough idea of ​​what it is."

Bao Guowei's low and magnetic voice came to her ears, and in an instant, Zhang Nianyue felt her body soften.

She nodded and said, "Okay."

Afterwards, Bao Guowei outlined the general content of the novel No Longer Human, explaining the inner struggle of the protagonist Ye Zang and his tragic life.

Of course, during this period, Bao Guowei was not very quiet and basically never stopped.

Zhang Nianyue was used to this kind of "frivolity" and just let it go.

But then I was attracted by the content of the story.

After hearing this, she felt as if her chest was blocked by a huge rock, and the world before her eyes seemed to become gray.

At this moment, she began to understand why Bao Guowei didn't let her watch this work.

Because it is so alternative, unlike traditional works that reflect reality, this is a novel that touches the heart.

It gradually magnifies the darkness in the reader's heart.

It’s just like the feeling that horror movies bring to people. People who are not afraid may be safe and sound, but for people who have always been timid, the exaggerated reactions they will experience after seeing it are unimaginable.

"So that's how it is." Zhang Nianyue began to understand why her father was so excited.

After a moment's silence, Bao Guowei couldn't help but ask.

"Aren't you going to ask me how I solved it later?"

Zhang Nianyue smiled.

"From your expression, I know it's resolved."

After spending a long time together, Zhang Nianyue naturally got to know Bao Guowei.

When Bao Guowei was lying on the bed and preparing to sleep, he heard Zhang Nianyue suddenly mention Liao Yaquan.

"Don't you think Yaquan is a little strange?"

"Didn't I tell you that I suspected she was a spy?"

"But she doesn't look like that. Yaquan is a very kind person."

"Nian Yue, maybe you are too kind."

"Guowei, I think you might be able to marry her."

"Ah?" Bao Guowei almost sat up from the bed, saying with a smile on his face. "What will you do if you marry her?"

"I am the queen, she can be a concubine, right? This woman is so pitiful."

As she spoke more and more outrageously, Bao Guowei couldn't help but speak seriously.

"Zhang Nianyue, I am your husband. You must recognize this and put away your feudal ideas.

I will never take a concubine! Even if I, Bao Guowei, die and get hit by a car on the street, I will be despised by millions of people! I will never take a concubine!"

"But, aren't all you men like this?"

Zhang Nianyue was obviously still influenced by the times and felt that she was helping Bao Guowei.

"I don't. At least not until I change."

"OK then."

Zhang Nianyue said something in a low voice, and it was unclear whether she was happy or unhappy.

In the dim room, the curtains swayed gently.

After a while, Bao Guowei couldn't help but say, "Zhang Nianyue is keeping me awake. What do you think we should do tonight?"

"." Zhang Nianyue was silent for a while, and said while curled up in the quilt. "I want to be on top today."

"???"

Bao Guowei was bewildered and pounced forward with a roar.

"Are you rebellious? How can you ride on your husband all day long? Take my stick, you witch!"

Ten minutes later, a sound was heard from inside the house.

"Come on, Nian Yue! This will help you lose weight on your waist!"

The next morning, Bao Guowei appeared in the hall with dark circles under his eyes, ready to eat breakfast and go out.

As soon as he walked into the door, Zhang Taiyan stared at him warily, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

But in the end he sighed.

He waited until the other party sat down before he slowly spoke.

"What are you going to do today?"

Ever since Bao Guowei and Zhang Nianyue were preparing to get engaged, Zhang Taiyan had been very concerned about his schedule, fearing that the boy would have an affair.

It’s not that he suspected Bao Guowei of misconduct, but he didn’t trust those fanatical female readers out there.

Bao Guowei ate a big bun and said simply: "Let's go to Shanghai. You know I have always cooperated with pharmaceutical companies.

Mr. Xiang Songmao has helped us a lot. We still need to make some progress in improving and mass producing the "iron lung".

Zhang Taiyan knew about the collaboration between Bao Guowei and Xiang Songmao. The life-saving "iron lung" was thanks to Xiang Songmao's strong support.

However, what Bao Guowei did not say was that this time when he went to Shanghai, he met Xiang Songmao not only to discuss the "iron lung", but also because there were already signs of the development and mass production of penicillin!

Of course, the affairs of the northern Fujian base are also very important.

Bao Guowei had a lot of things he wanted to do, so he had to make a trip to the Shanghai Stock Exchange before the New Year.

Nodding, Zhang Taiyan said, "Medical care benefits the country and the people. You must take this trip seriously. I know you are not short of money, so do more good deeds and let more people use life-saving drugs and equipment."

"Master, don't worry."

Old Zhang still has a lot of humanitarian concern, but even if the other party doesn't say these things, Bao Guowei will definitely do them.

For example, the allicin he produces is affordable compared to other pharmaceutical companies, but due to its production volume, he implements a system in which buyers must apply for rationing.

This is also a helpless move under the social environment.

Then, Zhang Taiyan took out another letter and handed it to Bao Guowei.

"This is a letter from Peking. It should be Peking University notifying you to report next year. Just take a look. Peking University is just like that."

Peking University is just like that
Bao Guowei took the letter with a strange expression. It was just what Old Zhang said. After all, most of the professors in the Chinese Department of Peking University were his disciples.
