Before the end of the month, Ke Shangchun took the vacation according to the schedule after the few things at hand came to an end; before that, he had asked Zhou Shichang to help book the hotel and train tickets, and he and Su Ming only needed to pack their luggage , agree on a time to meet.
It turned out that the two could make the trip earlier, but Su Ming temporarily took over the new book translation work-for this aspect, Ke Shangchun later learned that Su Ming had been entrusted with Zhao Xin's help, and the other party would always treat Su Ming with respect. Ming is willing to arrange work, but this time it seems a bit urgent, and there is no one at hand to pick it up, so I have to ask back.
For the sake of friendship, Su Ming accepted it, but at that time he still had two manuscripts to be translated.
Regarding this matter, Ke Shangchun did not express any opinion after knowing about it, and he did not feel any doubts in his heart; both of them are adults, and they always have their own ideas about work. Feel free to point fingers.
What's more, he thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to delay the schedule, and happened to catch up with Fenghong.Although the season has arrived, the weather is not cold enough. It has not really gotten cold until recently, and the changes in the scenery can be seen slowly.
——In this way, it is nothing less than an unexpected harvest.
The hot spring area in N County has been developed for a long time, but probably because of the long history, no matter how old it is, it is nothing more than a rigid hot spring activity, and it has gradually declined in recent years.
There are always only two hotels here, which happen to occupy two directions, one east and one west, which also drives the construction of the surrounding area.
In fact, the styles of the two hotels are similar, both are simple and simple, but the one near the west was rebuilt into a new high-rise hotel the year before last, and it took advantage of the opportunity to organize several activities with the county government, attracting many people to visit. The hot spring area, which had been quiet for a period of time, became active again.
An old railway near the hot spring area was used by sugar companies to transport goods in the early years. After the factory in the county was closed, the railway bureau bought it into the national highway railway and set up a station on the spot.
People who used to live on the mountain used to rely on this local station when their children went to school. However, as the residents on the mountain gradually moved to big cities, this station has become more and more lost. Fortunately, hot spring tourism has driven local development. It became one of the scenic spots. This branch line was classified as a tourist route, and the train only went to the hot spring area after walking.
Ke Shangchun and Su Ming decided to take this train.However, there are only three trains a day, and they depart from the station in N County, so they still have to drive to N County first.
It takes nearly a day to drive from T city to N county, that is to say, whether they choose to drive directly up the mountain or not, they have to stay in a city in N county for one night.
Frankly speaking, driving has its advantages, and traveling by car naturally has its advantages too, but the scenery of the railway is incomparable to that of the expressway; and there are a few places that you can drop by along the way.
So, the itinerary was set.
Since both of them can drive, they take turns driving to avoid getting too tired.It was Su Ming who drove the car when they set off. The two met at the intersection outside Ke Shangchun's house, went to Starbucks to have something for breakfast, and then switched to Ke Shangchun's car, and officially set off on the road.
At the beginning, Ke Shangchun chatted with Su Ming for a while, then turned on the stereo and played the movies on the car, which were all unpopular light music; Eyes fell asleep.
After getting off the elevated road and walking onto the flat road, it was past noon.When Ke Shangchun drove almost to a place near the scheduled location, Su Ming's cell phone rang.
"..."
Su Ming opened his eyes and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.He looked at the name of the incoming call before answering it, answered flatly, then just listened, and finally answered a word that was ok before hanging up.
"What's the matter?" Ke Shangchun asked aloud.
"Well."
"Is it important?"
"It's nothing, it's not too important." Su Ming said indifferently, sat upright, and said, "Go and eat."
"Um."
They went to a nearby comprehensive canteen with a parking lot.This place seems to be a bit famous, it is not a holiday, and it is not yet noon, but there are quite a lot of people inside.
The waiter took the two of them to sit by the window, helped them to order and then left, but turned around after a while and delivered their meals.
Ke Shangchun and Su Ming glanced at each other before picking up the chopsticks at the same time.
"I didn't expect the efficiency and quality of the place to be quite high." Ke Shangchun couldn't help joking.
Su Ming smiled and started to eat.The two ate silently for a while. Halfway through, Ke Shangchun's cell phone rang. It was the hotel where he was staying tonight for confirmation and to ask for some details. Since the cafeteria was noisy, he went outside to listen.
When he came back, Su Ming used the tablet computer. He didn't know what he was looking at, and his face was slightly solemn.It was rare for Ke Shangchun to see the other party like this, so he couldn't help being surprised, so he sat back in his seat and asked a question immediately.
"What's wrong?"
Su Ming still stared at the tablet computer, and blurted out: "I need to revise what I wrote last time..."
"You mean the translation?"
"..."
"no?"
Su Ming raised his head, hesitated for a moment before nodding, and said, "I'll just take a look."
Ke Shangchun smiled. "It doesn't matter. I'm not in a hurry anyway. I don't have much to do today. I'm just going to drive along the way. In addition, the check-in time of the hotel has been postponed." He said, seeing the other party nod, he also took out his mobile phone to look.
After replying to a few messages, Ke Shangchun also received the mail. He raised his eyes and glanced at Su Ming. The other party's expression was almost serious, and he was thinking about the screen of the tablet computer. After a while, he operated the stylus.
Frankly speaking, although he understands the hard work of translation, Ke Shangchun still has a little understanding of Su Ming's work situation. The latter rarely complains about the tight work at hand, and only talks about what he has received and finished.
In fact, he felt that Su Ming's workload should not be small.He thought of the last time he went to the other party's place, he had glimpsed the situation of his desk, and the pile of reference books on the table was horrible.
Recalling this, he couldn't help but smile in his heart. It turns out that they are both the same, and they don't care about anything else when they are busy. However, he still feels that he is better than the other party, at least there is room for a cup at the table. coffee.
Ke Shangchun thought for a while, then looked at Su Ming, and felt that the latter would be around for a while, so he put away his phone and took out the book in his bag to read.
After about dozens of minutes, he realized that there seemed to be some movement in the opposite direction, so he looked away from the book, and saw that Su Ming was cleaning up.
"Got to go?"
"Um."
"If it doesn't work, you can actually stay a little longer." Ke Shangchun said casually after collecting the things.
"okay."
Su Ming had already stood up, said only this, took the bill from the table and went to the counter to pay.Ke Shangchun went outside first, and walked to the parking lot together after the other party came out.
This time it was Su Ming who drove the car, but he didn't drive too far, and arrived at one of the intended destinations.It is a historic park near N County, which used to be the office of the British, and the buildings left behind can be seen in many early Western design styles.However, the garden has been rebuilt, and a few maple trees were planted. At this time, the leaves are yellow and green, and the lawn is covered with leaves, which looks a bit strange.
The two walked around here, chatting and taking pictures of the scenery; Ke Shangchun also brought a digital camera. He didn't dare to talk about technology at all when taking pictures, but the basic composition and lighting were fine, but he just felt that it was convenient to travel , I did not bring a high-end single-eye camera.
Su Ming, who used to take pictures before, didn't bring a camera with him this time, at most he took a picture or two with his mobile phone.
"You don't take pictures now?" Ke Shangchun asked when leaving the park.
Su Ming stood beside the car, took out the cigarette case, picked up a cigarette and lit it. "After graduation, I seldom take pictures." He took a sip.
"Why don't you shoot?"
"Well, I probably took too many pictures before, and it's annoying."
"What about photographers by profession? Wouldn't it be more annoying to help people take pictures every day?" Ke Shangchun couldn't help laughing.
Su Ming held the cigarette ash in his hand, and said leisurely: "So, I am not."
Ke Shangchun smiled. "Actually, the photos you took for the series before were pretty good." He added, "For example, the one you took for Lin Tiyun."
"It's better to take pictures of people." Su Mingdao, took out his mobile phone and opened it, and clicked on the album: "I can't take pictures of landscapes at all."
"..."
Frankly speaking, Ke Shangchun felt that the other party was being modest; he couldn't help but feel aggrieved. There really are people in this world who can do everything well.
"Actually, you are too modest." He couldn't help blurting out.
Su Ming put away his mobile phone, and said flatly: "Didn't you see Tian Fuxin's photos? Then you should know that I am definitely not modest."
"..." Ke Shangchun didn't know what to comment, but he also found it funny; this is incomparable.Just from this point, you can see some of the other party's character.
... In fact, it is really quite strong.
For example, between the other party and Li Jinbo, he now understands that such a relationship should be said to be close, rather than a kind of contest.
As for winning or losing, he felt that Su Ming must have thought clearly.
They stopped and walked halfway like this, and arrived in N County in the afternoon, but they had to drive a long way to the city near the hot spring mountain area, and finally arrived at the hotel near the station in time for the agreed check-in time.
It turned out that they made an appointment at [-]:[-] pm, but the other party took the initiative to contact and postponed it until [-]:[-] pm. Because of the extra hour, the two of them left without being in such a hurry, and whoever thought they would miss it.
The hotel only provided breakfast for the next day. Ke Shangchun and Su Ming packed their luggage and went outside to find something to eat on the street.They entered a coffee shop, ordered something first, and sat down at a table by the window.
The two chatted for a while, and when the food came, they each quietly ate while reading with their mobile phones or flipping through magazines in the store.
The atmosphere in the store is very good, not completely quiet, but it doesn't feel noisy, and most of the customers seem to be from other places.Ke Shangchun suddenly noticed on the way, only to realize that almost all of them were lovers.
No wonder the atmosphere is so good...
Especially at the table facing him, the girls were all glued to the other boy, and they could only sit on one side of the table, and the two had to squeeze together on the same side.
Due to the close proximity between the tables, although the two men whispered, they could hear a little sound, and their movements... naturally could see a little meaning.
Ke Shangchun lowered his gaze, and flipped through the book he took out of his bag just now.
This book was talking about the relationship between men and women, but he saw the main point, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit uncomfortable, so he closed the book.
"—Let's go."
Yue Mo moved a little harder, Su Ming looked up from the magazine, but his eyes fell on the book first.Ke Shangchun was about to accept it, thinking that Su Ming was interested, he said, "I borrowed this from a colleague, do you want to see it?"
"...Look." Su Ming said flatly, reaching out to take a sip of water.
Ke Shangchun smiled: "I read it very slowly. If you are interested, you can take it and read it first."
Su Ming nodded, took another sip of water, and said he could go back.
"that……"
After walking out of the coffee shop, Su Ming spoke suddenly.
Among the two, it was always Ke Shangchun who opened his mouth to say something, and Su Ming would respond in a timely manner, but now he opened his mouth on his own initiative. He couldn't help but feel that it was rare, he just thought about it in his head, and asked in a hurry. mouth.
"What's wrong?"
Perhaps he responded too quickly, but Su Ming hesitated for a moment before speaking: "...do you think it looks good?"
"what?"
"Book."
"Book?" Ke Shangchun was stunned for a moment before he understood, and took it out of the bag: "You mean this?"
"Um."
Ke Shangchun glanced at Su Ming. "I've only read half of it, and I can't express my profound impressions." He thought for a while, then said.
Su Ming nodded silently and took a cigarette to smoke.
Ke Shangchun felt strange in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, he just said again: "However, I read the whole book before."
——It's really complete, without skipping a single chapter.
Let’s not talk about whether the theme is about love or not. Because of work, it is becoming more and more difficult for Ke Shangchun to finish reading a book completely. When he gets a book, he always has the habit of flipping through it roughly, sorting out the main content of the text, and then picking out the main content of the book. Interesting chapters, sometimes unconsciously examine the rhetoric of the words.
This can be said to be an occupational disease-he only realized it after reading half of a book every time, and then lost the interest in reading.
But because of that book, he borrowed it from Gu Junxiu for almost a month. He was afraid that the other party would come to ask him what he thought when he returned it, so he had to concentrate on reading it.
After reading it, it has been more than half a year now. Frankly speaking, he doesn't remember the content in detail, but his impression is rather
Yes there are.
——Very provocative, extreme.
Hearing him speak, Su Ming glanced at him.
"The previous one?"
"Um."
"...how do you feel?"
Ke Shangchun glanced at the title of the book in his hand: Traveler is the work of Su Yue. "To be honest, I seldom read romance novels, how can I define this kind..." he blurted out.
Su Ming took a puff of cigarette and said flatly, "□□Novel."
"...Indeed." Ke Shangchun nodded.He recalled some comments he had read on some literary review boards, and said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just a difference in category. If someone wants to read it, then there are authors who want to write it. Those famous literature Works, some of them can also be called novels.”
He smiled and added: "Besides, this author's books have always sold well. From the standpoint of publishing, the more the better."
After hearing this, Su Ming was silent, smoking slowly, with a thoughtful look on his face, and he didn't ask another question until he was almost at the door of the hotel.
"Is it really pretty?"
Not only did Ke Shangchun find it strange, he had never seen the other party so obsessed with one issue.He didn't know what to say - the other party was really asking how he felt?
...is it really good-looking?
Ke Shangchun recalled the passage he had read a while ago.That paragraph is describing a woman’s desire for sex. The protagonist is a grocery store owner who has been married for many years, but as a wife, she has never found tenderness and comfort from her husband. The desire for the body has been released for a long time.
"Actually...it's quite interesting."
After entering the hotel and waiting for the elevator, Ke Shangchun said, "It talks about women's desire for love. Although it mainly describes women's bodies, the words used are very appropriate when it comes to entanglement with men. , if I say it, I think it looks pretty good, the author is a woman, but when standing in the perspective of a man, it seems to have completely become a man."
Su Ming nodded and was silent for a while before speaking: "I have a question."
"Um?"
"How do you know the author is a woman?"
"..."
"Actually, the author of that book never said he was a woman."
"..."
Ke Shangchun was silent, but he couldn't stop recalling it in his mind. Frankly speaking, if it wasn't for the magazine invitation half a year ago, he wouldn't have noticed this aspect at all, but the questionnaire presented, and... He thought of it, and blurted out immediately.
"Isn't there an introduction to the author?"
"That's the problem."
"what?"
Su Ming took a deep breath, put his hands in his coat pockets, and looked at Ke Shangchun. "Do you think the author's name is feminine?"
"..." Ke Shangchun was stunned, hesitated for a moment and blurted out: "It's okay."
"That's not my problem."
"..."
"My mother used the name Qingfengmingyue in the beginning, but unfortunately she only gave birth to three." Su Ming suddenly said something inexplicable: "Zhao Xin also knows this, she helped to choose that pen name, and it turned out After the book, the gender is written as female."
"..."
Ke Shangchun felt dazed at first, then stunned, and it took him a while to recover.He tried for a moment to understand, still in disbelief.
"You mean—"
"Um?"
Ke Shangchun took out the book from his bag, "You wrote this book?"
"Um."
"The translation?"
"I also do it."
"so……"
"Um."
"..."
"..."
At the end of the topic, Ke Shangchun was still stunned. He lowered his eyes, then put away the book, and walked into the elevator with the door opened.
The two were silent with each other for a while.
"...I think you will know later."
Hearing Su Ming speak, Ke Shangchun looked at the other party, looked at the same plain but slightly different expression for a while, and then said, "I'm not unhappy."
He thought for a while and said, "It's just too surprising."
"..."
After a while, Ke Shangchun smiled, and stretched out his hand to grab Su Ming's hand, just like the young couple in the coffee shop, their fingers intertwined.
"Thank you for telling me."
Love is really a little strange.
Once the fact of being in love is added to a relationship, getting along becomes a wonderful and wonderful thing; just thinking of the fact of being together, the joy that breeds is beyond counting, it seems that there is no need to do anything, and there is no need to Whatever you say, you can know each other, and you can see yourself from each other's eyes.
It turns out that no matter what age, falling in love is so wonderful, so special.
Ke Shangchun held Su Ming's hand and did not let go.
As soon as they entered the room, they approached each other and kissed together; the kiss was delicate and lingering, without any impetuousness, but it could also feel tenderness.
It took a long time for them to separate, and they only glanced at each other. They all took off their clothes one by one spontaneously, and then kissed each other, demanding each other, steaming the heat of sex to Apex, pushing and fucking each other into the bathroom shower.
Ke Shangchun pressed Su Ming against the tile wall, forced him to suck his lips, and grabbed the things under each other that were already swollen and upturned, rubbed them a few times and they became wet.
Su Ming turned on the water with his hands, and warm water vapor diffused from the shower.The breath of each other became more and more messy, and they were transferred and blended into one piece between the two lips; the mutual comfort underneath made the body sweat and wet, while the lower body was extremely sticky.
Before the two were together, they obviously had been warm for countless times, but after they got together, they felt that every time they were warm, they felt a little more tender and happy in their hearts.
Ke Shangchun pressed Su Ming's back, and he couldn't help but push forward; he listened to his own panting and the other's suppressed cock, each time he penetrated deeper and deeper.
With the desire to climb up and down, the mind is in a trance, looking forward to the moment of end - but the feelings accumulated in the bottom of my heart are always sober, looking forward to the continuation.
After it was over, he hugged Su Ming, exchanged a kiss, and looked at those eyes that were receding slightly—the self with the same eyes inside, and he felt calm and at ease.
Aside from that surprising fact, when I think about it later, the two of them got along very smoothly during this trip, which made the relationship that had progressed a little bit more intimate. .
Zhou Shichang helped to book the ticket for the earliest train.It takes about three or four hours to start from the urban station in N County to the local station on the mountain. The two of them finished their breakfast in the hotel, packed up and set off at the right time, and parked the car in the parking lot attached to the station. , then swipe the ticket to enter the platform.
The train has already stopped at the platform, waiting to depart on time.Although it was not a Sunday holiday, there were quite a few people who wanted to take this bus; when the two got on the bus, many passengers had already taken their seats.
When Ke Shangchun was looking for an itinerary, he knew that it was not easy to buy tickets for this train. The main reason is that there are limited seats and no standing tickets. If you want to take a ride, you have to rely on advance booking.
Many travel agencies will use this as a solicitation for promotion, so Zhou Shichang quickly got the ticket and helped arrange everything.
Ke Shangchun and Su Ming found the seat according to the ticket number, and sat on the seat chatting casually, waiting for the departure; in the middle, they listened to the distance broadcast several times, and the train started slowly after a while, and the two watched the changing scenery outside the window We chatted for two or three more sentences.
Because there is a little distance, and there is still a long way to go after arriving, the two people who got up early in the morning closed their eyes and rested together.
After an unknown amount of time, Ke Shangchun suddenly opened his eyes, his sleepiness half-retired, but it was fine to continue sleeping.He moved his neck, raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, there was still an hour's drive away.
Ke Shangchun lowered his hands to adjust his sitting posture, and glanced at Su Ming who was sitting inside. The other party was still sleeping, with his face down and his head leaning against the window.
Since there were people sitting behind, the back of the chair could only be moved back a little, and the body on the seat was almost half-bent, with the crossed legs slanting inward.
It turns out that being too tall is actually quite troublesome. Ke Shangchun smiled silently, got up lightly, walked through the aisle and got out of the car, looking for the vending machine he had seen when getting on the car.
When he came back with two bottles of packaged tea, Su Ming had already woken up and was watching with his mobile phone; he sat back on his seat, handed over a bottle of tea, took out his mobile phone, and chatted casually with the other party talk.
The remaining time passed quickly, and the train finally arrived at its destination.It was almost noon and the sun was out. However, the temperature on the mountain is always four or five degrees lower than that on the flat land. Especially in late autumn, the wind is already a bit chilly, so even in the sun, it is not uncomfortable to be in the sun. Instead, it makes people feel warm and comfortable.
Today is still an ordinary day, but there are many people who come here on vacation, some of them are tourist groups; the two of them bypassed the crowd and left the station.
The shuttle bus to the hot spring area is parked outside. During the opening hours, you can take unlimited stops as long as you wave your hand, but the last departure time is [-]:[-] pm. If you want to enter the mountain after passing, you have to find a hotel by yourself Contact to send a car to pick you up.
However, walking on foot is only a distance of more than [-] minutes, not to mention that the mountain is full of maple red, so it is fun to walk for a while.
So, the two of them didn't intend to take a ride, but went to the shopping street next to the station to take a stroll first, found a restaurant there for lunch, and then walked slowly up the old street to the hotel.
There are climbs along the way. Although the slope is gentle, it is not as easy as walking on flat ground. Ke Shangchun's body became hot when he walked. , although it has been a long time since I graduated, but I have laid a little foundation, which is much better than when I was in college.
Ke Shangchun couldn't help but glanced at Su Ming. It looked okay like that, but the latter's face was always a little pale, and he really couldn't see the slightest clue.
However, this is not the only thing that cannot be seen.
For other things, if Su Ming didn't take the initiative to say it, Ke Shangchun would not be able to guess it—like the fact that he only heard last night, and it is still unbelievable when he thinks about it—who would have thought of such a charming text Written by a man?
——And that person is Su Ming.
It was hard for Ke Shangchun to associate those words with the person in front of him.
"It's a lot of people."
Hearing Su Ming speak, Ke Shangchun came back to his senses and looked in the direction ahead. The old street was very lively, and some people also went on foot just like them.
The shops here don't actually sell many things, but they are all local customs and some things that haven't been seen for a long time.
"That kind of sugar ball was very common when I was a child."
Ke Shangchun saw a store with many transparent jars piled up in front of the door, filled with crystal and colorful sugar balls.
"I remember that after elementary school, there would always be a group of people crowded in front of the grocery store and competing to buy candy balls. You can fill a bag with only a few dollars, and you can eat it for a few days." Ke Shangchun couldn't help recalling, his tone followed Reminiscing: "Thinking about it was so long ago."
Su Ming smiled.
"Going to reminisce?"
Ke Shangchun also smiled, "Let's go."
The two went over to ask the price and bought a little; it was only a little, and the transparent bag contained less than half of it. The price was certainly cheap, but naturally it couldn't be compared with the previous price.
"Fortunately, we are not children anymore, otherwise we will be disappointed." Ke Shangchun said casually.
Su Ming picked one for himself and put it in his mouth, "It tastes good." He said, and handed the bag to Ke Shangchun.
"thanks."
Ke Shangchun took it, and also took a candy ball to eat. It tasted sweet and sour. I couldn't tell whether it was lemon or citrus. It was the same as the impression I had when I was a child. The sugar ball melted in his mouth.
Later... the two of them walked all the way, buying snacks along the way.The two big men didn't care about their appearance, and they ate and chatted on the road, and they didn't feel that the mountain road was difficult to walk.
"It's like climbing a mountain for an outing in elementary school." Ke Shangchun couldn't help joking.
"Didn't you hold this kind of event before?" Su Minghu said, "During my freshman year in college."
"First grade?" Ke Shangchun thought for a while, but had no impression.
"The student union is doing it to let the freshmen get to know each other." Su Ming said, "I remember going to the mountain behind the school."
Ke Shangchun thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there were some. At that time, when he first entered school, he actually participated in a lot of activities. Later, he really felt that he was not interested, and gradually became less active in department and class activities. .
"Is it at night?" he asked.
Su Ming nodded and looked at him with a little surprise: "Did you go?"
Ke Shangchun smiled: "Who can not go for freshmen, or who dares not to go? And do you have to submit a review or something..."
"Seems."
"Ah, I remembered, that time there was a lottery grouping, and then a few class pairs were made out of it." Ke Shangchun said, remembering that those class pairs were also divided into points at the back, and there was no real difference between them. Together to graduation.
Su Ming seemed to remember it too, and asked unexpectedly, "How do you know?"
"The first couple is who did Chen Congwen go with?" Ke Shangchun said.He forgot what the girl's name was, or in other words, there were too few who had a deep impression on most of the students in the class.
Anyway, he remembered that Chen Congwen and this girl got separated very quickly, it seemed that it was less than a year; the two quarreled and quarreled, but they still had to go to class together after they broke up, which caused him to be in class with that girl for a while. It's also awkward to meet each other.
Hearing what he said, Su Ming thought for a while and blurted out: "Chen Congwen? Who is that?"
Ke Shangchun listened to the other party talk about what he knew, and smiled: "That's him. He also owns a publishing company now.
Frankly speaking, I used to think that he was a little cunning, although he always seemed not serious, and he was not serious about his studies. "
Among the few classmates I knew in college, Chen Congwen was the most different. The difference was that the other party didn't seem to be close friends with me at all. I always felt that such a person should belong to the group of people like Li Jinbo, but he was just like ordinary people like them. Yes, a few not special people got together, and even participated in clubs that weren't very interesting.
Ke Shangchun remembered that he once asked Chen Congwen why he didn't associate with Li Jinbo and the others, and the latter replied: Those people are too boring.
But now the other party is making friends with such a boring person, on the contrary, he is a little unfamiliar with him, and only occasionally meets and chats warmly, and usually does not have special contact.
Ke Shangchun thought for a while quietly, then looked at Su Ming who was walking beside him. "You said last night..." He blurted out, but he didn't know how to say it properly.
"You mean about writing a book?" Su Ming understood and asked flatly.
Ke Shangchun nodded and said, "I really didn't expect it to be you."
"I never thought you would go to work in a publishing company." Su Ming replied.
"what?"
Ke Shangchun was taken aback, and suddenly remembered that the company had published many books by the other party.In this way, maybe Su Ming went to the company to discuss things at a certain time.
If they met at that time, what would happen to them?
About...it won't be much.
Ke Shangchun thought that sometimes fate is like this; he could not help but smile, and asked the other party in a clear tone: "Actually, you can write books full-time, why do you need to be a translator?" If he remembers correctly, "Su Month"'s books have always been ranked in the top five of the major sales lists.
"Translation is done first, it's a pity to give up." Su Ming said: "At the beginning, I translated games and comics, and then I accepted the manuscripts. I practiced writing something for smooth rhetoric. After Zhao Xin read it, she It’s better to write the whole story.”
"Zhao Xin?" Ke Shangchun was slightly stunned, and blurted out: "Is she still your editor?"
"No, but her work is also related to publishing, but in the brokerage part."
"Broker?"
"Um."
Ke Shangchun is in the publishing industry, so he has naturally heard of the term literary agent. This position has been practiced abroad for many years, but it is only in recent years that China has gradually paid attention to it.
Several well-known writers in China also tend to sign contracts with brokers and hand over the publishing rights of books to professionals, and the conditions they get are often better than when they face publishing companies themselves.Therefore, for any questions about drafting, the editor's window is not directly with the writers, but with the writers' agents.
Now I finally understood, no wonder Su Ming would say that the work of translating books was all arranged by Zhao Xin.
When Ke Shangchun heard the reason from the other party, he couldn't hold back his curiosity.He asked in a casual tone: "Then what did you do before you became an interpreter?"
"A lot, but not long." Su Ming replied, thought for a while, and said flatly: "The longest is the assistant job I mentioned to you, and I also went to a commercial company to do planning... In short, doing facts outside is too much. More rules, think about it, it’s better to go back and do your own profession.”
Ke Shangchun listened silently, remembering what the other party had said to him when they first met. "But in fact, none of these things are too difficult for you, and you will definitely have better development if you continue." He said sincerely.
Su Ming smiled. "But I'm tired of it," he said, calmly. "When I'm in front of a crowd, I suddenly want to keep silent."
Ke Shangchun was startled and looked at Su Ming.It's not that he can't understand it, but that he has had this kind of feeling before - even now, he still has it in many cases, but it is not as strong as before, perhaps because he has learned to be calm over the years.
He remembered that for a while, he always felt that people were not just socializing, and that they didn't need to be taken too seriously in many cases, but he couldn't convince himself—who can say that there are no sincere friends among the few people who have met? ?
However, if you haven't tried it, how can you know the ending.
When he was in college, he was actually very envious of Li Jinbo and his group of people. It seemed that he could not find any negativity in those people. Those people always looked at everything in a bright and positive way. lived life.
But as one of the normal people he thought - Su Ming originally thought the same in his heart.
Behind the hustle and bustle, what is usually longed for is just a piece of tranquility.Suddenly he understood more.
"It's just a choice..."
After a while, Ke Shangchun opened his mouth and said to Su Ming, "There is no difference between good and bad. Who would have thought of it before, but now I will be exactly the opposite of you." He paused, and added: "Fate is really very It’s amazing, maybe in this way, we can finally meet.”
Su Ming didn't speak, looked at him for a while, and smiled faintly.
"you are right."
Ke Shangchun laughed too.
"Okay, now we have to hurry up, it's almost check-in time."
"Um."
The hotel I booked to stay in is the one on the east side. It is an old hotel that has not been remodeled.It is divided into main hall and annex.
Affected by the activities held by the rival hotel, many tourist groups have moved to the new side, which seems a bit deserted, and most of the guests staying here are self-guided like the two of them.
However, this does not mean that the business here is bad. The old-fashioned hotels have a different style, and many people come here to find the atmosphere because of this type.The travel agency where Zhou Shichang works has a tacit cooperation with this hotel for many years. As long as they are the guests of their company, they all specify that they want to live here.
Ke Shangchun asked Zhou Shichang to help book a room,
It turned out that the two could make the trip earlier, but Su Ming temporarily took over the new book translation work-for this aspect, Ke Shangchun later learned that Su Ming had been entrusted with Zhao Xin's help, and the other party would always treat Su Ming with respect. Ming is willing to arrange work, but this time it seems a bit urgent, and there is no one at hand to pick it up, so I have to ask back.
For the sake of friendship, Su Ming accepted it, but at that time he still had two manuscripts to be translated.
Regarding this matter, Ke Shangchun did not express any opinion after knowing about it, and he did not feel any doubts in his heart; both of them are adults, and they always have their own ideas about work. Feel free to point fingers.
What's more, he thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to delay the schedule, and happened to catch up with Fenghong.Although the season has arrived, the weather is not cold enough. It has not really gotten cold until recently, and the changes in the scenery can be seen slowly.
——In this way, it is nothing less than an unexpected harvest.
The hot spring area in N County has been developed for a long time, but probably because of the long history, no matter how old it is, it is nothing more than a rigid hot spring activity, and it has gradually declined in recent years.
There are always only two hotels here, which happen to occupy two directions, one east and one west, which also drives the construction of the surrounding area.
In fact, the styles of the two hotels are similar, both are simple and simple, but the one near the west was rebuilt into a new high-rise hotel the year before last, and it took advantage of the opportunity to organize several activities with the county government, attracting many people to visit. The hot spring area, which had been quiet for a period of time, became active again.
An old railway near the hot spring area was used by sugar companies to transport goods in the early years. After the factory in the county was closed, the railway bureau bought it into the national highway railway and set up a station on the spot.
People who used to live on the mountain used to rely on this local station when their children went to school. However, as the residents on the mountain gradually moved to big cities, this station has become more and more lost. Fortunately, hot spring tourism has driven local development. It became one of the scenic spots. This branch line was classified as a tourist route, and the train only went to the hot spring area after walking.
Ke Shangchun and Su Ming decided to take this train.However, there are only three trains a day, and they depart from the station in N County, so they still have to drive to N County first.
It takes nearly a day to drive from T city to N county, that is to say, whether they choose to drive directly up the mountain or not, they have to stay in a city in N county for one night.
Frankly speaking, driving has its advantages, and traveling by car naturally has its advantages too, but the scenery of the railway is incomparable to that of the expressway; and there are a few places that you can drop by along the way.
So, the itinerary was set.
Since both of them can drive, they take turns driving to avoid getting too tired.It was Su Ming who drove the car when they set off. The two met at the intersection outside Ke Shangchun's house, went to Starbucks to have something for breakfast, and then switched to Ke Shangchun's car, and officially set off on the road.
At the beginning, Ke Shangchun chatted with Su Ming for a while, then turned on the stereo and played the movies on the car, which were all unpopular light music; Eyes fell asleep.
After getting off the elevated road and walking onto the flat road, it was past noon.When Ke Shangchun drove almost to a place near the scheduled location, Su Ming's cell phone rang.
"..."
Su Ming opened his eyes and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.He looked at the name of the incoming call before answering it, answered flatly, then just listened, and finally answered a word that was ok before hanging up.
"What's the matter?" Ke Shangchun asked aloud.
"Well."
"Is it important?"
"It's nothing, it's not too important." Su Ming said indifferently, sat upright, and said, "Go and eat."
"Um."
They went to a nearby comprehensive canteen with a parking lot.This place seems to be a bit famous, it is not a holiday, and it is not yet noon, but there are quite a lot of people inside.
The waiter took the two of them to sit by the window, helped them to order and then left, but turned around after a while and delivered their meals.
Ke Shangchun and Su Ming glanced at each other before picking up the chopsticks at the same time.
"I didn't expect the efficiency and quality of the place to be quite high." Ke Shangchun couldn't help joking.
Su Ming smiled and started to eat.The two ate silently for a while. Halfway through, Ke Shangchun's cell phone rang. It was the hotel where he was staying tonight for confirmation and to ask for some details. Since the cafeteria was noisy, he went outside to listen.
When he came back, Su Ming used the tablet computer. He didn't know what he was looking at, and his face was slightly solemn.It was rare for Ke Shangchun to see the other party like this, so he couldn't help being surprised, so he sat back in his seat and asked a question immediately.
"What's wrong?"
Su Ming still stared at the tablet computer, and blurted out: "I need to revise what I wrote last time..."
"You mean the translation?"
"..."
"no?"
Su Ming raised his head, hesitated for a moment before nodding, and said, "I'll just take a look."
Ke Shangchun smiled. "It doesn't matter. I'm not in a hurry anyway. I don't have much to do today. I'm just going to drive along the way. In addition, the check-in time of the hotel has been postponed." He said, seeing the other party nod, he also took out his mobile phone to look.
After replying to a few messages, Ke Shangchun also received the mail. He raised his eyes and glanced at Su Ming. The other party's expression was almost serious, and he was thinking about the screen of the tablet computer. After a while, he operated the stylus.
Frankly speaking, although he understands the hard work of translation, Ke Shangchun still has a little understanding of Su Ming's work situation. The latter rarely complains about the tight work at hand, and only talks about what he has received and finished.
In fact, he felt that Su Ming's workload should not be small.He thought of the last time he went to the other party's place, he had glimpsed the situation of his desk, and the pile of reference books on the table was horrible.
Recalling this, he couldn't help but smile in his heart. It turns out that they are both the same, and they don't care about anything else when they are busy. However, he still feels that he is better than the other party, at least there is room for a cup at the table. coffee.
Ke Shangchun thought for a while, then looked at Su Ming, and felt that the latter would be around for a while, so he put away his phone and took out the book in his bag to read.
After about dozens of minutes, he realized that there seemed to be some movement in the opposite direction, so he looked away from the book, and saw that Su Ming was cleaning up.
"Got to go?"
"Um."
"If it doesn't work, you can actually stay a little longer." Ke Shangchun said casually after collecting the things.
"okay."
Su Ming had already stood up, said only this, took the bill from the table and went to the counter to pay.Ke Shangchun went outside first, and walked to the parking lot together after the other party came out.
This time it was Su Ming who drove the car, but he didn't drive too far, and arrived at one of the intended destinations.It is a historic park near N County, which used to be the office of the British, and the buildings left behind can be seen in many early Western design styles.However, the garden has been rebuilt, and a few maple trees were planted. At this time, the leaves are yellow and green, and the lawn is covered with leaves, which looks a bit strange.
The two walked around here, chatting and taking pictures of the scenery; Ke Shangchun also brought a digital camera. He didn't dare to talk about technology at all when taking pictures, but the basic composition and lighting were fine, but he just felt that it was convenient to travel , I did not bring a high-end single-eye camera.
Su Ming, who used to take pictures before, didn't bring a camera with him this time, at most he took a picture or two with his mobile phone.
"You don't take pictures now?" Ke Shangchun asked when leaving the park.
Su Ming stood beside the car, took out the cigarette case, picked up a cigarette and lit it. "After graduation, I seldom take pictures." He took a sip.
"Why don't you shoot?"
"Well, I probably took too many pictures before, and it's annoying."
"What about photographers by profession? Wouldn't it be more annoying to help people take pictures every day?" Ke Shangchun couldn't help laughing.
Su Ming held the cigarette ash in his hand, and said leisurely: "So, I am not."
Ke Shangchun smiled. "Actually, the photos you took for the series before were pretty good." He added, "For example, the one you took for Lin Tiyun."
"It's better to take pictures of people." Su Mingdao, took out his mobile phone and opened it, and clicked on the album: "I can't take pictures of landscapes at all."
"..."
Frankly speaking, Ke Shangchun felt that the other party was being modest; he couldn't help but feel aggrieved. There really are people in this world who can do everything well.
"Actually, you are too modest." He couldn't help blurting out.
Su Ming put away his mobile phone, and said flatly: "Didn't you see Tian Fuxin's photos? Then you should know that I am definitely not modest."
"..." Ke Shangchun didn't know what to comment, but he also found it funny; this is incomparable.Just from this point, you can see some of the other party's character.
... In fact, it is really quite strong.
For example, between the other party and Li Jinbo, he now understands that such a relationship should be said to be close, rather than a kind of contest.
As for winning or losing, he felt that Su Ming must have thought clearly.
They stopped and walked halfway like this, and arrived in N County in the afternoon, but they had to drive a long way to the city near the hot spring mountain area, and finally arrived at the hotel near the station in time for the agreed check-in time.
It turned out that they made an appointment at [-]:[-] pm, but the other party took the initiative to contact and postponed it until [-]:[-] pm. Because of the extra hour, the two of them left without being in such a hurry, and whoever thought they would miss it.
The hotel only provided breakfast for the next day. Ke Shangchun and Su Ming packed their luggage and went outside to find something to eat on the street.They entered a coffee shop, ordered something first, and sat down at a table by the window.
The two chatted for a while, and when the food came, they each quietly ate while reading with their mobile phones or flipping through magazines in the store.
The atmosphere in the store is very good, not completely quiet, but it doesn't feel noisy, and most of the customers seem to be from other places.Ke Shangchun suddenly noticed on the way, only to realize that almost all of them were lovers.
No wonder the atmosphere is so good...
Especially at the table facing him, the girls were all glued to the other boy, and they could only sit on one side of the table, and the two had to squeeze together on the same side.
Due to the close proximity between the tables, although the two men whispered, they could hear a little sound, and their movements... naturally could see a little meaning.
Ke Shangchun lowered his gaze, and flipped through the book he took out of his bag just now.
This book was talking about the relationship between men and women, but he saw the main point, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit uncomfortable, so he closed the book.
"—Let's go."
Yue Mo moved a little harder, Su Ming looked up from the magazine, but his eyes fell on the book first.Ke Shangchun was about to accept it, thinking that Su Ming was interested, he said, "I borrowed this from a colleague, do you want to see it?"
"...Look." Su Ming said flatly, reaching out to take a sip of water.
Ke Shangchun smiled: "I read it very slowly. If you are interested, you can take it and read it first."
Su Ming nodded, took another sip of water, and said he could go back.
"that……"
After walking out of the coffee shop, Su Ming spoke suddenly.
Among the two, it was always Ke Shangchun who opened his mouth to say something, and Su Ming would respond in a timely manner, but now he opened his mouth on his own initiative. He couldn't help but feel that it was rare, he just thought about it in his head, and asked in a hurry. mouth.
"What's wrong?"
Perhaps he responded too quickly, but Su Ming hesitated for a moment before speaking: "...do you think it looks good?"
"what?"
"Book."
"Book?" Ke Shangchun was stunned for a moment before he understood, and took it out of the bag: "You mean this?"
"Um."
Ke Shangchun glanced at Su Ming. "I've only read half of it, and I can't express my profound impressions." He thought for a while, then said.
Su Ming nodded silently and took a cigarette to smoke.
Ke Shangchun felt strange in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, he just said again: "However, I read the whole book before."
——It's really complete, without skipping a single chapter.
Let’s not talk about whether the theme is about love or not. Because of work, it is becoming more and more difficult for Ke Shangchun to finish reading a book completely. When he gets a book, he always has the habit of flipping through it roughly, sorting out the main content of the text, and then picking out the main content of the book. Interesting chapters, sometimes unconsciously examine the rhetoric of the words.
This can be said to be an occupational disease-he only realized it after reading half of a book every time, and then lost the interest in reading.
But because of that book, he borrowed it from Gu Junxiu for almost a month. He was afraid that the other party would come to ask him what he thought when he returned it, so he had to concentrate on reading it.
After reading it, it has been more than half a year now. Frankly speaking, he doesn't remember the content in detail, but his impression is rather
Yes there are.
——Very provocative, extreme.
Hearing him speak, Su Ming glanced at him.
"The previous one?"
"Um."
"...how do you feel?"
Ke Shangchun glanced at the title of the book in his hand: Traveler is the work of Su Yue. "To be honest, I seldom read romance novels, how can I define this kind..." he blurted out.
Su Ming took a puff of cigarette and said flatly, "□□Novel."
"...Indeed." Ke Shangchun nodded.He recalled some comments he had read on some literary review boards, and said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just a difference in category. If someone wants to read it, then there are authors who want to write it. Those famous literature Works, some of them can also be called novels.”
He smiled and added: "Besides, this author's books have always sold well. From the standpoint of publishing, the more the better."
After hearing this, Su Ming was silent, smoking slowly, with a thoughtful look on his face, and he didn't ask another question until he was almost at the door of the hotel.
"Is it really pretty?"
Not only did Ke Shangchun find it strange, he had never seen the other party so obsessed with one issue.He didn't know what to say - the other party was really asking how he felt?
...is it really good-looking?
Ke Shangchun recalled the passage he had read a while ago.That paragraph is describing a woman’s desire for sex. The protagonist is a grocery store owner who has been married for many years, but as a wife, she has never found tenderness and comfort from her husband. The desire for the body has been released for a long time.
"Actually...it's quite interesting."
After entering the hotel and waiting for the elevator, Ke Shangchun said, "It talks about women's desire for love. Although it mainly describes women's bodies, the words used are very appropriate when it comes to entanglement with men. , if I say it, I think it looks pretty good, the author is a woman, but when standing in the perspective of a man, it seems to have completely become a man."
Su Ming nodded and was silent for a while before speaking: "I have a question."
"Um?"
"How do you know the author is a woman?"
"..."
"Actually, the author of that book never said he was a woman."
"..."
Ke Shangchun was silent, but he couldn't stop recalling it in his mind. Frankly speaking, if it wasn't for the magazine invitation half a year ago, he wouldn't have noticed this aspect at all, but the questionnaire presented, and... He thought of it, and blurted out immediately.
"Isn't there an introduction to the author?"
"That's the problem."
"what?"
Su Ming took a deep breath, put his hands in his coat pockets, and looked at Ke Shangchun. "Do you think the author's name is feminine?"
"..." Ke Shangchun was stunned, hesitated for a moment and blurted out: "It's okay."
"That's not my problem."
"..."
"My mother used the name Qingfengmingyue in the beginning, but unfortunately she only gave birth to three." Su Ming suddenly said something inexplicable: "Zhao Xin also knows this, she helped to choose that pen name, and it turned out After the book, the gender is written as female."
"..."
Ke Shangchun felt dazed at first, then stunned, and it took him a while to recover.He tried for a moment to understand, still in disbelief.
"You mean—"
"Um?"
Ke Shangchun took out the book from his bag, "You wrote this book?"
"Um."
"The translation?"
"I also do it."
"so……"
"Um."
"..."
"..."
At the end of the topic, Ke Shangchun was still stunned. He lowered his eyes, then put away the book, and walked into the elevator with the door opened.
The two were silent with each other for a while.
"...I think you will know later."
Hearing Su Ming speak, Ke Shangchun looked at the other party, looked at the same plain but slightly different expression for a while, and then said, "I'm not unhappy."
He thought for a while and said, "It's just too surprising."
"..."
After a while, Ke Shangchun smiled, and stretched out his hand to grab Su Ming's hand, just like the young couple in the coffee shop, their fingers intertwined.
"Thank you for telling me."
Love is really a little strange.
Once the fact of being in love is added to a relationship, getting along becomes a wonderful and wonderful thing; just thinking of the fact of being together, the joy that breeds is beyond counting, it seems that there is no need to do anything, and there is no need to Whatever you say, you can know each other, and you can see yourself from each other's eyes.
It turns out that no matter what age, falling in love is so wonderful, so special.
Ke Shangchun held Su Ming's hand and did not let go.
As soon as they entered the room, they approached each other and kissed together; the kiss was delicate and lingering, without any impetuousness, but it could also feel tenderness.
It took a long time for them to separate, and they only glanced at each other. They all took off their clothes one by one spontaneously, and then kissed each other, demanding each other, steaming the heat of sex to Apex, pushing and fucking each other into the bathroom shower.
Ke Shangchun pressed Su Ming against the tile wall, forced him to suck his lips, and grabbed the things under each other that were already swollen and upturned, rubbed them a few times and they became wet.
Su Ming turned on the water with his hands, and warm water vapor diffused from the shower.The breath of each other became more and more messy, and they were transferred and blended into one piece between the two lips; the mutual comfort underneath made the body sweat and wet, while the lower body was extremely sticky.
Before the two were together, they obviously had been warm for countless times, but after they got together, they felt that every time they were warm, they felt a little more tender and happy in their hearts.
Ke Shangchun pressed Su Ming's back, and he couldn't help but push forward; he listened to his own panting and the other's suppressed cock, each time he penetrated deeper and deeper.
With the desire to climb up and down, the mind is in a trance, looking forward to the moment of end - but the feelings accumulated in the bottom of my heart are always sober, looking forward to the continuation.
After it was over, he hugged Su Ming, exchanged a kiss, and looked at those eyes that were receding slightly—the self with the same eyes inside, and he felt calm and at ease.
Aside from that surprising fact, when I think about it later, the two of them got along very smoothly during this trip, which made the relationship that had progressed a little bit more intimate. .
Zhou Shichang helped to book the ticket for the earliest train.It takes about three or four hours to start from the urban station in N County to the local station on the mountain. The two of them finished their breakfast in the hotel, packed up and set off at the right time, and parked the car in the parking lot attached to the station. , then swipe the ticket to enter the platform.
The train has already stopped at the platform, waiting to depart on time.Although it was not a Sunday holiday, there were quite a few people who wanted to take this bus; when the two got on the bus, many passengers had already taken their seats.
When Ke Shangchun was looking for an itinerary, he knew that it was not easy to buy tickets for this train. The main reason is that there are limited seats and no standing tickets. If you want to take a ride, you have to rely on advance booking.
Many travel agencies will use this as a solicitation for promotion, so Zhou Shichang quickly got the ticket and helped arrange everything.
Ke Shangchun and Su Ming found the seat according to the ticket number, and sat on the seat chatting casually, waiting for the departure; in the middle, they listened to the distance broadcast several times, and the train started slowly after a while, and the two watched the changing scenery outside the window We chatted for two or three more sentences.
Because there is a little distance, and there is still a long way to go after arriving, the two people who got up early in the morning closed their eyes and rested together.
After an unknown amount of time, Ke Shangchun suddenly opened his eyes, his sleepiness half-retired, but it was fine to continue sleeping.He moved his neck, raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, there was still an hour's drive away.
Ke Shangchun lowered his hands to adjust his sitting posture, and glanced at Su Ming who was sitting inside. The other party was still sleeping, with his face down and his head leaning against the window.
Since there were people sitting behind, the back of the chair could only be moved back a little, and the body on the seat was almost half-bent, with the crossed legs slanting inward.
It turns out that being too tall is actually quite troublesome. Ke Shangchun smiled silently, got up lightly, walked through the aisle and got out of the car, looking for the vending machine he had seen when getting on the car.
When he came back with two bottles of packaged tea, Su Ming had already woken up and was watching with his mobile phone; he sat back on his seat, handed over a bottle of tea, took out his mobile phone, and chatted casually with the other party talk.
The remaining time passed quickly, and the train finally arrived at its destination.It was almost noon and the sun was out. However, the temperature on the mountain is always four or five degrees lower than that on the flat land. Especially in late autumn, the wind is already a bit chilly, so even in the sun, it is not uncomfortable to be in the sun. Instead, it makes people feel warm and comfortable.
Today is still an ordinary day, but there are many people who come here on vacation, some of them are tourist groups; the two of them bypassed the crowd and left the station.
The shuttle bus to the hot spring area is parked outside. During the opening hours, you can take unlimited stops as long as you wave your hand, but the last departure time is [-]:[-] pm. If you want to enter the mountain after passing, you have to find a hotel by yourself Contact to send a car to pick you up.
However, walking on foot is only a distance of more than [-] minutes, not to mention that the mountain is full of maple red, so it is fun to walk for a while.
So, the two of them didn't intend to take a ride, but went to the shopping street next to the station to take a stroll first, found a restaurant there for lunch, and then walked slowly up the old street to the hotel.
There are climbs along the way. Although the slope is gentle, it is not as easy as walking on flat ground. Ke Shangchun's body became hot when he walked. , although it has been a long time since I graduated, but I have laid a little foundation, which is much better than when I was in college.
Ke Shangchun couldn't help but glanced at Su Ming. It looked okay like that, but the latter's face was always a little pale, and he really couldn't see the slightest clue.
However, this is not the only thing that cannot be seen.
For other things, if Su Ming didn't take the initiative to say it, Ke Shangchun would not be able to guess it—like the fact that he only heard last night, and it is still unbelievable when he thinks about it—who would have thought of such a charming text Written by a man?
——And that person is Su Ming.
It was hard for Ke Shangchun to associate those words with the person in front of him.
"It's a lot of people."
Hearing Su Ming speak, Ke Shangchun came back to his senses and looked in the direction ahead. The old street was very lively, and some people also went on foot just like them.
The shops here don't actually sell many things, but they are all local customs and some things that haven't been seen for a long time.
"That kind of sugar ball was very common when I was a child."
Ke Shangchun saw a store with many transparent jars piled up in front of the door, filled with crystal and colorful sugar balls.
"I remember that after elementary school, there would always be a group of people crowded in front of the grocery store and competing to buy candy balls. You can fill a bag with only a few dollars, and you can eat it for a few days." Ke Shangchun couldn't help recalling, his tone followed Reminiscing: "Thinking about it was so long ago."
Su Ming smiled.
"Going to reminisce?"
Ke Shangchun also smiled, "Let's go."
The two went over to ask the price and bought a little; it was only a little, and the transparent bag contained less than half of it. The price was certainly cheap, but naturally it couldn't be compared with the previous price.
"Fortunately, we are not children anymore, otherwise we will be disappointed." Ke Shangchun said casually.
Su Ming picked one for himself and put it in his mouth, "It tastes good." He said, and handed the bag to Ke Shangchun.
"thanks."
Ke Shangchun took it, and also took a candy ball to eat. It tasted sweet and sour. I couldn't tell whether it was lemon or citrus. It was the same as the impression I had when I was a child. The sugar ball melted in his mouth.
Later... the two of them walked all the way, buying snacks along the way.The two big men didn't care about their appearance, and they ate and chatted on the road, and they didn't feel that the mountain road was difficult to walk.
"It's like climbing a mountain for an outing in elementary school." Ke Shangchun couldn't help joking.
"Didn't you hold this kind of event before?" Su Minghu said, "During my freshman year in college."
"First grade?" Ke Shangchun thought for a while, but had no impression.
"The student union is doing it to let the freshmen get to know each other." Su Ming said, "I remember going to the mountain behind the school."
Ke Shangchun thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there were some. At that time, when he first entered school, he actually participated in a lot of activities. Later, he really felt that he was not interested, and gradually became less active in department and class activities. .
"Is it at night?" he asked.
Su Ming nodded and looked at him with a little surprise: "Did you go?"
Ke Shangchun smiled: "Who can not go for freshmen, or who dares not to go? And do you have to submit a review or something..."
"Seems."
"Ah, I remembered, that time there was a lottery grouping, and then a few class pairs were made out of it." Ke Shangchun said, remembering that those class pairs were also divided into points at the back, and there was no real difference between them. Together to graduation.
Su Ming seemed to remember it too, and asked unexpectedly, "How do you know?"
"The first couple is who did Chen Congwen go with?" Ke Shangchun said.He forgot what the girl's name was, or in other words, there were too few who had a deep impression on most of the students in the class.
Anyway, he remembered that Chen Congwen and this girl got separated very quickly, it seemed that it was less than a year; the two quarreled and quarreled, but they still had to go to class together after they broke up, which caused him to be in class with that girl for a while. It's also awkward to meet each other.
Hearing what he said, Su Ming thought for a while and blurted out: "Chen Congwen? Who is that?"
Ke Shangchun listened to the other party talk about what he knew, and smiled: "That's him. He also owns a publishing company now.
Frankly speaking, I used to think that he was a little cunning, although he always seemed not serious, and he was not serious about his studies. "
Among the few classmates I knew in college, Chen Congwen was the most different. The difference was that the other party didn't seem to be close friends with me at all. I always felt that such a person should belong to the group of people like Li Jinbo, but he was just like ordinary people like them. Yes, a few not special people got together, and even participated in clubs that weren't very interesting.
Ke Shangchun remembered that he once asked Chen Congwen why he didn't associate with Li Jinbo and the others, and the latter replied: Those people are too boring.
But now the other party is making friends with such a boring person, on the contrary, he is a little unfamiliar with him, and only occasionally meets and chats warmly, and usually does not have special contact.
Ke Shangchun thought for a while quietly, then looked at Su Ming who was walking beside him. "You said last night..." He blurted out, but he didn't know how to say it properly.
"You mean about writing a book?" Su Ming understood and asked flatly.
Ke Shangchun nodded and said, "I really didn't expect it to be you."
"I never thought you would go to work in a publishing company." Su Ming replied.
"what?"
Ke Shangchun was taken aback, and suddenly remembered that the company had published many books by the other party.In this way, maybe Su Ming went to the company to discuss things at a certain time.
If they met at that time, what would happen to them?
About...it won't be much.
Ke Shangchun thought that sometimes fate is like this; he could not help but smile, and asked the other party in a clear tone: "Actually, you can write books full-time, why do you need to be a translator?" If he remembers correctly, "Su Month"'s books have always been ranked in the top five of the major sales lists.
"Translation is done first, it's a pity to give up." Su Ming said: "At the beginning, I translated games and comics, and then I accepted the manuscripts. I practiced writing something for smooth rhetoric. After Zhao Xin read it, she It’s better to write the whole story.”
"Zhao Xin?" Ke Shangchun was slightly stunned, and blurted out: "Is she still your editor?"
"No, but her work is also related to publishing, but in the brokerage part."
"Broker?"
"Um."
Ke Shangchun is in the publishing industry, so he has naturally heard of the term literary agent. This position has been practiced abroad for many years, but it is only in recent years that China has gradually paid attention to it.
Several well-known writers in China also tend to sign contracts with brokers and hand over the publishing rights of books to professionals, and the conditions they get are often better than when they face publishing companies themselves.Therefore, for any questions about drafting, the editor's window is not directly with the writers, but with the writers' agents.
Now I finally understood, no wonder Su Ming would say that the work of translating books was all arranged by Zhao Xin.
When Ke Shangchun heard the reason from the other party, he couldn't hold back his curiosity.He asked in a casual tone: "Then what did you do before you became an interpreter?"
"A lot, but not long." Su Ming replied, thought for a while, and said flatly: "The longest is the assistant job I mentioned to you, and I also went to a commercial company to do planning... In short, doing facts outside is too much. More rules, think about it, it’s better to go back and do your own profession.”
Ke Shangchun listened silently, remembering what the other party had said to him when they first met. "But in fact, none of these things are too difficult for you, and you will definitely have better development if you continue." He said sincerely.
Su Ming smiled. "But I'm tired of it," he said, calmly. "When I'm in front of a crowd, I suddenly want to keep silent."
Ke Shangchun was startled and looked at Su Ming.It's not that he can't understand it, but that he has had this kind of feeling before - even now, he still has it in many cases, but it is not as strong as before, perhaps because he has learned to be calm over the years.
He remembered that for a while, he always felt that people were not just socializing, and that they didn't need to be taken too seriously in many cases, but he couldn't convince himself—who can say that there are no sincere friends among the few people who have met? ?
However, if you haven't tried it, how can you know the ending.
When he was in college, he was actually very envious of Li Jinbo and his group of people. It seemed that he could not find any negativity in those people. Those people always looked at everything in a bright and positive way. lived life.
But as one of the normal people he thought - Su Ming originally thought the same in his heart.
Behind the hustle and bustle, what is usually longed for is just a piece of tranquility.Suddenly he understood more.
"It's just a choice..."
After a while, Ke Shangchun opened his mouth and said to Su Ming, "There is no difference between good and bad. Who would have thought of it before, but now I will be exactly the opposite of you." He paused, and added: "Fate is really very It’s amazing, maybe in this way, we can finally meet.”
Su Ming didn't speak, looked at him for a while, and smiled faintly.
"you are right."
Ke Shangchun laughed too.
"Okay, now we have to hurry up, it's almost check-in time."
"Um."
The hotel I booked to stay in is the one on the east side. It is an old hotel that has not been remodeled.It is divided into main hall and annex.
Affected by the activities held by the rival hotel, many tourist groups have moved to the new side, which seems a bit deserted, and most of the guests staying here are self-guided like the two of them.
However, this does not mean that the business here is bad. The old-fashioned hotels have a different style, and many people come here to find the atmosphere because of this type.The travel agency where Zhou Shichang works has a tacit cooperation with this hotel for many years. As long as they are the guests of their company, they all specify that they want to live here.
Ke Shangchun asked Zhou Shichang to help book a room,
