After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

The other party responded to her with silence.

Just like every time she talked to him about the harm Chen Dongguo might cause to Jing Chai and Chen Xi, he was silent.

There was a huge gap between them here, which made Jiang Baige unable to tell him that, in fact, she had too much love, so it was impossible for her to be moved to tears and grateful for his little bit of "narrow love".

And she didn't need to tell him, because she didn't have to prove to him whether she was loved or not.

When love has been simply "reproduced", it is futile for her to talk to him about the broad possibilities of love.

She should have given up long ago, she thought. Her mistake was that she always had fantasies - perhaps about a handsome guy, perhaps about a "soul mate", or perhaps about the possibility of being understood.

But now, she was forced to face reality again.

What she should do from beginning to end is actually only related to herself: maintain the animal nature of seeking benefits and avoiding harm, and do what she wants to do and what is beneficial to her.

Just as Wen Mian reminded her just now, there is no need to have such a high "moral standard". Under a system where the balance has never tilted in her favor, those are nothing but constraints and encirclements on her.

Just like being strong for a mother, virtuous for a wife, and obedient for a daughter...

Jiang Baige decided to put an end to this farce of playing the lute to a deaf ear.

"Your love is so narrow, and you want to define my perception of the world with your feelings for me." Jiang Baige responded with the same "helpless sigh", "I think that before teaching me how to get love through compromise and pandering, you should first learn how to survive on your own."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Baige recalled the time when she and Shi Xin accidentally talked about her work in the villa.

Shi Xin was surprised that the heroine in her work had no "home," and finally concluded: "You hate men."

At that time, she was still attracted by his face, so she ignored his shallow and prejudiced soul, so she asked him in a friendly manner why he said that, because those heroines might eventually have boyfriends... at least, male favorites.

Unexpectedly, these words made Shi Xin even angrier. He emphasized righteously that that was by no means a destination, let alone a perfection.

Things had already come to that point, and the filter created by his handsome face was completely shattered. Jiang Baige turned her head away from him, trying her best to eliminate the weight that this beauty brought to her heart, and then said.

"Do you think so? But maybe it's just because you men can't live without women, but women can live well without men."

There was continued silence after that, until Chen Xi appeared and interrupted the conversation.

In fact, from that time on, she knew that whether as a lover or as someone who also loved writing, Shi Xin was not someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

Even though I know it, when my hormones start to kick in, I still don't make any sense.

Fortunately, everything is over now and it's time to get back on track.

She put down her phone, squinted her eyes, stretched herself, and thought back to herself——

After completing her guaranteed admission to graduate school, her senior year will belong entirely to her.

In her previous life, she did not make good use of it, perhaps because of her lack of knowledge, and did not go out and play, but stayed in school to continue attending classes and writing papers.

This time, we obviously can’t be so “wasteful”.

***

In a blink of an eye, the first semester of my senior year has come to an end.

Jiang Baige learned from Liu Shutong that the last half semester of the double degree course would be very easy.

There are no midterm exams and the final exam will focus on essays, which means that she will have more freedom in terms of time and place in the next half semester.

This freedom has nothing to do with her writing but everything to do with her travels.

She decided to travel abroad, with her first stop being France. She wanted to visit Beauvoir's hometown and try to write her story while sitting in a cafe.

From her sophomore year to now, she has accumulated a considerable amount of savings. After learning that she wanted to travel, her mother generously announced that she would fully support this "pilgrimage" financially.

On the day she went to apply for a passport, she received a message from her editor.

The editor asked her when she could start her third new book.

Jiang Baige's heart skipped a beat, because she had been busy with Lin Xingran's public account during this period...

Lin Xingran has been highly appreciated by Dugu He recently, and Dugu He even made an exception and gave her the opportunity to work on a book on her own even though she has not yet been hired as a full-time employee.

Lin Xingran, of course, was extremely enthusiastic and devoted herself to the new book. To show her support, Jiang Baige also took on the responsibility of updating the public accounts of both of them.

The pace of writing the novel naturally slowed down, but Jiang Baige was not in a hurry. After all, she had already finished writing the apocalyptic novel and had just ended serializing it some time ago.

Because her two novels did not receive the "big hit" she wanted, she did not plan to start a new book immediately, but instead gave herself some time to breathe and think.

Jiang Baige replied in a somewhat strange way: [Editor, that apocalypse article is not finished yet. I want to take a break for a while before starting a new article.]

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhou said: "Baby, you are too ambitious. The data of your first book suddenly soared this week, and the apocalypse literature was also included in the natural list. I think I will recommend one or two lists to you after this book is finished. If you have thought about what to write for the third book, we can strike while the iron is hot and seize this wave of popularity. 】

The advantage of writing a lot of books is that every time an old book is completed, it may lead to new books.

Especially those that suddenly take off after the completion - Jiang Baige fully understands this mentality, because she also doesn't like to follow serials, not to mention that some authors often stop updating or get stuck in writing, which is really a very uncomfortable feeling.

It was only after Zhou Zhou's reminder that she remembered to open the author's backstage which she hadn't read for several days.

You won’t know until you see it, but this royalties is the highest in the past two years.

As a result, her plans had to be adjusted accordingly.

After some hesitation, she once again gave priority to online literature. Perhaps this was a blatant preference.

However, she has no intention of giving up Beauvoir's hometown: she will follow the guide and apply for a passport, but the time may have to be postponed a little.

She is putting more energy into the third novel she is planning to write.

For Jiang Baige, realistic novels might be easier to write. But the problem was the subject matter. She had never worked in the entertainment industry, and her experience as a set manager that day was not very helpful. What's more, she wanted to write about the director, a person who was in charge of the entire crew.

What she wanted to write about was not the person who was already standing in the center of the crowd, but the process of how this person went from being unknown to the center of the crowd.

too difficult.

After Jiang Baige struggled for a week, she finally made a difficult decision: she would not write anymore!
