Judging from Lin Xingran's hesitation, Song Siwen asked a question that she had not had time to consider.

However, Song Siwen did not ask any further questions. After a brief discussion, the two decided to tell Jiang Baige about today's gains first and then discuss it together.

After listening to this, Jiang Baige gave some suggestions.

"Maybe... can you pick out some of them? Even from an outsider's perspective, when you hear that a divorce is due to the husband's infidelity, you wouldn't think that the child would have a good life with the father, right?"

"Indeed, since Teacher Liu can resonate with Xiaoyue's experience, maybe Xiaoyue will feel the same way."

Jiang Baige nodded: "That's right. But... I really didn't expect that you had this trump card."

"Because you didn't ask before, I didn't mention this matter..." Lin Xingran smiled and waved his hand casually, "In fact, I think I am much luckier than Xiaoyue because I can follow my mother."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Although my mother has been in love for the past few years, she always says that getting married once is enough to see through marriage. There is no need to step into the same wrong river twice in a row..."

The tone was so calm that it seemed as if he was telling an outsider's story.

However, Jiang Baige deeply agrees with this point.

Dating is actually a very fun thing, especially when you are in love with a handsome guy. When you are in love, there is someone around you when you want to share your joys and sorrows, and when you want to be alone, you can be alone again.

But after a long time, or if you want to maintain a long-term relationship, you can't help but get bored.

But the secular world always defines marriage as the ultimate destination of love, which ultimately makes love boring.

If she had it to do over again, she would rather not have all these distractions and just concentrate on writing her online articles.

"By the way, I see that you are holding a computer every day except for classes. Do you really want to make this your career in the future?"

After finishing the serious business, Lin Xingran switched to chatting mode.

Jiang Baige also responded: "If I say 'yes', would you think I am fanciful?"

"Of course not... I would think you are very brave. Besides, I really hope to have the opportunity to publish your work in the future."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baige remembered that in her previous life, although she knew that Lin Xingran was an excellent book editor, she had never paid attention to what type of works Lin Xingran preferred.

Because after graduation, they only met once.

If Jiang Baige didn't have the habit of reading the copyright page of books, she wouldn't have known that Lin Xingran was responsible for so many best-selling books.

But... she remembered that from a certain point in time, she rarely saw the books edited by Lin Xingran.

Although she had heard Lin Xingran mention the difficulties at work, she was also trapped in life at that time and had no time to think about it. But this time, maybe she could do something for her...

"So what type do you prefer? I'll try to write more so that you can enjoy my books in the future."

Although it seemed like a joke, Lin Xingran's answer was not perfunctory.

“I want to do stories about women.”

"Women's stories?" Jiang Baige was interested - because this was 2014. "Are they written by women? Or about women? Or... something that girls like to read? Are they more academic, like The Second Sex you gave me before? Or novels, or non-fiction?"

"Actually, I didn't think that much..." Lin Xingran was a little embarrassed, "At first, I was just tired of the so-called classic works by famous writers, which were all stories written by male writers from a male perspective."

What she was tired of was that in the works of male authors, women were either beautiful vases, adding icing on the cake to their success, or they were extremely vicious, highlighting their great justice...

Most of the time it is flat and in a subordinate position.

For example, a woman cannot fight with a man. Even if there is some friction at the beginning, it is just fun, and she will eventually fall in love with the man.

No matter how powerful a woman is, in the end, she will fall in love with a man and fight with other women.

If it is a woman that the man cannot get, it will be even worse... First of all, she must be a villain, and secondly, she will definitely have a tragic end, either going crazy or dead, and she will also suffer all kinds of torture.

She became more and more excited as she spoke, and at the end her throat felt itchy and she choked on her saliva and started coughing violently.

Jiang Baige handed her the cup of water and said with a smile, "You still say you don't think a lot?"

"I'm just thinking about it, but I haven't summarized it yet. It's more of a feeling. However, what you said just now gave me inspiration."

"Oh?"

"Perhaps what I want to publish are stories about women written by female authors." Lin Xingran blinked, "After all, who can understand women better than female writers?"

But she didn't know what she was thinking of, and her expression dimmed again: "But this is difficult, right? I know that there are almost no books of this kind on the market..."

"In other words, this market is still virgin territory, waiting for you to conquer and develop it."

This remark made Lin Xingran laugh uncontrollably: "Yes, yes, you are right... My mother said that she really likes the feeling of conquering men. It is different from conquering the mountains in career, but the same thing is... it feels great."

Jiang Baige's eyes widened: "Your mother still told you this?"

"Come on, I'm already 21 years old." Lin Xingran suddenly thought of something and laughed again, "My mom bought me a halter strap that doesn't cover my belly button, but it's covered with colorful sequins. She said it's perfect for concerts, but I said, isn't it too revealing... Do you know what my mom said?"

"what?"

“‘You Qing people are so hard to kill.’”

After saying this, Lin Xingran and Jiang Baige burst into laughter at the same time, but as they laughed, Lin Xingran's expression became sad again.

"What's wrong? Do you miss your mother?" Jiang Baige asked her.

Lin Xingran shook his head: "Every time my mother and I are happy, I can't help but think of my sister. I would wonder if I am so happy and blessed because I have taken away half of the love that my mother should have given her..."

"Does your mother no longer love your sister?"

"Of course not!" Lin Xingran retorted hurriedly.

"That's it. It was your father's partiality and forgetfulness that hurt your sister, not your mother, let alone you. On the contrary, knowing that she was in trouble, you would try your best to help her. Look, you went to talk to her teacher, and your mother said she was willing to pay for all her tutoring fees..."

In fact, they all know that the past cannot be undone.

Just like Liu Shutong, she made the wrong choice of husband and gave birth to the child, but even if she regrets it, she can't go back to the life before she met Chen Bo...she can only look forward.

Jiang Baige stood up and patted Lin Xingran on the shoulder: "Okay, don't think too much. I have to go out again..."

Lin Xingran glanced at the time and said, "It's already evening now. You can just stay in the dormitory and write your manuscript. Why are you going out?"

"This time... is a good time to watch other people fall in love."
