As an actor, it makes sense for me to know some kung fu, right?

After originally getting the contact information of the opposite party, 'Principal Qinglian', Zhou Wenhao felt that even if he could not know the other party's specific information, he should know whether he was a man or a woman!

After all, Zhou Wenhao is also aware of the discussions among netizens on Weibo about "What is the gender of Lay Buddhist Qinglian?"

But when he dialed the number given by the other party, President Zhou was stunned.

Because he couldn't tell whether the other person was a man or a woman just by looking at the voice on the other side!

At first glance, it seemed that the layman Qinglian speaking opposite was a man, and Zhou Wenhao subjectively felt that he should be a man.

But after listening to a few more sentences, he felt something was wrong again, and the voice on the other end sounded like a woman again.

And as the conversation lasted longer, Zhou Wenhao's doubts became more serious.

"What the hell is going on? Is this guy a boy or a girl? Why does his voice sound like a boy and a girl?"

Zhou Wenhao complained in his heart.

It's a pity that he didn't determine any useful information until the end of the call.

And the content of the call just now seemed to be talking nonsense now that I think about it.

In fact, this is a very normal result.

After all, the person who was chatting with Zhou Wenhao just now was not the real Qinglian layman, but just a thread created by the artificial intelligence butler 'Zhen Weis'.

Xu Lu asked 'Zhen Weis' to create a voice that made it impossible to distinguish between male and female, and 'Zhen Weis' did just that.

And he didn't give specific instructions to 'Zhen Weis' how to chat with Zhou Wenhao, so what he said was just nonsense.

"Mad, I really encountered a ghost!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wenhao, who didn't know anything about it, cursed secretly.

But he soon discovered the new update posted by the layman Qinglian.

Zhou Wenhao’s expression was both envious and depressed:

"Who is this guy? Is writing poetry really as easy as drinking water?"

As the president of the Modern Poetry Association, although Zhou Wenhao himself is not top-notch, his appreciation level is certainly good.

When he saw this poem at this moment, he felt that he could not write it at all.

And through this poem, he once again deepened his inner doubts.

Because he found that he was completely confused about the gender issue of Qinglian layman.

"Forget it! It doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman, as long as he can be used by me.

In a few days, I can use this newly recruited layman Qinglian to deal with that lifelong enemy! "

Zhou Wenhao was secretly happy when he thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon.

Because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be a large-scale Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival, and then we can take revenge.

……

"This layman Qinglian is really amazing, and it's not an exaggeration to call him 'genius'.

Originally, I thought that the two works he submitted for the competition were polished over a long period of time.

But judging from his successive Weibo updates, I highly doubt that this poem was written by him on the spur of the moment. "

On the other side, Shen Zizhen, a famous modern poet, spoke.

In fact.

After he recommended the work of 'Qinglian Jushi' to the group of judges, he has been paying attention to this contributor.

After learning that the other party had opened Weibo, Shen Zizhen immediately followed the account.

On the day he paid attention, he saw the other person wrote these two sentences: 'I am a crazy person...'.

This shocked Shen Zizhen.

He was actually quite curious about the gender of this 'Qinglian layman', and even voted like everyone else.

Login to Weibo today, Shen Zizhen just wanted to see everyone's voting results and see if there was any response from layman Qinglian.

But what he didn't expect was.

Lay Buddhist Qinglian did not respond directly to this question, but instead wrote another poem.

As a professional, Shen Zizhen certainly knows the level of this song "I Said You Are Human...".

It can be said that although it is not as good as the winning song "Birds and Fishes" written by "Qinglian Jushi", it is on the same level as "To the Oak".

"Lao Zhang, what do you think of this poem?"

Thinking of this, Shen Zizhen turned around and said something to Zhang Xi next to him.

Zhang Xi curled his lips speechlessly and said:

"Old Shen, I am a prose writer, but I don't have as much appreciation for modern poetry as you do!

Of course I think this poem is well written, but I can't tell how good it is. "

Shen Zizhen was not angry when he heard this, and said with a smile:

"It would be great if I could meet this layman Qinglian. By the way, netizens on Weibo haven't been able to guess whether he is a boy or a girl yet!"

"Then do you hope that this layman Qinglian will be a talented man or a talented woman?"

Zhang Xi suddenly asked.

Shen Zizhen laughed and said:

"Unlike others, I don't have to guess. I think there is a high probability that this Qinglian layman is a talented man."

Hearing this, Zhang Xi became a little curious and said:

"No one else can guess it, but you can guess it? And this Qinglian layman has also written several poems with different styles."

Shen Zizhen did not show off, but directly pointed out the basis for his judgment and said:

"Lao Zhang, it's actually not difficult to guess. We can find some clues by looking at the essence through the phenomena.

You think, if she were a woman, would she really take a pen name like 'Qinglian Jushi'? "

Zhang Xi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly showed an expression of realization and said:

"Huh? From what you said, it really sounds like this. Not to mention the poems written by the other party, the name 'Qinglian Jushi' itself is very masculine.

Moreover, when he participated in the competition, he had already used 'Qinglian Jushi' as his pen name when submitting articles! "

Shen Zizhen nodded, but quickly said:

"This is what I most admire about this Qinglian layman. He is obviously a man, but he can write such gentle poems as 'To the Oak Tree' and 'April'..."

Zhang Xi suddenly said with great imagination:

"Um...Old Shen, do you think it is possible that there are actually two poets behind this Qinglian layman?

One of the men wrote something like "Birds and Fishes", and another woman wrote something like "To the Oak Tree". "

Hearing this, Shen Zizhen looked at the other party with a strange expression and said angrily:

"Then you might as well say that this 'Qinglian layman' is actually composed of many individuals, and each of them writes a poem.

If you want men, there will be men, if you want women, there will be women, if you want young, there will be young, if you want old, there will be old..."

"Haha, that's all I'm saying. Who makes this guy so mysterious?"

Zhang Xi smiled awkwardly and said again:

"By the way, I wonder if your President Zhou will drag this Qinglian layman into the Modern Poetry Association.

If the other party can join the Modern Poetry Association, then it will be clear whether he is a boy or a girl, and we don’t need to guess here. "

"That's true!"

Shen Zizhen nodded.

……

But what neither the poet nor the essayist expected was that their wild guesses were actually very close to the truth.

Because although the person behind the vest of 'Qinglian Jushi' is Xu Lu, these poems really come from many people.

What made them even more unexpected was that although President Zhou had invited layman Qinglian to join the association, he still didn't understand anything.
