Generation Z Artists

Chapter 97: "Cang Ye Xue" (Part )
Li Hong received the new book at noon.

Xie Rong was busy distributing them, and many people in the station got Fang Xinghe's personal signature.

Yang Xin jokingly asked: "Xie Tai, this is not fair, how come you have three copies?"

"Oh, don't mention it." Xie Rong half complained and half boasted, and sighed, "My two old girls ordered me to get signatures. I sacrificed my reputation to get these three copies..."

Someone immediately flattered him: "Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You have a lot of face. I heard that Fang Xinghe's book "Cang Ye Xue" is hard to find and is not easy to buy."

"That's not possible, is it?" Another employee was shocked. "Why did I hear that Times Literature and Art's first release sold 200 million copies?"

"Fuck, are you crazy?!"

“How can the current book market hold up?”

"That's not necessarily true. When I went to work this morning, I found that all the newsstands along the way were crowded with students. It was difficult to squeeze in for a while."

"There's no doubt that this book will sell well. It's so popular."

"If the feedback from readers is good, then Fang Xinghe will be completely amazing!"

"Xie Tai, have you seen it? What is it like?"

"I don't have the time." Xie Rong waved his hand and turned away. "Take it easy, don't slack off during work hours. Hey, someone, bring me some food to the office later."

As soon as he left, Yang Xin and Li Hong whispered, "Tell us not to slack off. He went back to read a book... I don't care. I want to read it too!"

Li Hong opened the cover and gently stroked the signature on the title page, feeling very happy.

"Look, there's nothing to do around here. I'll take whatever I see and talk about it when I find work."

So those who had books hid in their workstations and started reading.

This scene happened simultaneously in middle schools, universities, and white-collar offices across the country.

It has been hyped for so long that even if you are not a fan, you are still very curious.

This is China's first true youth literature, written by teenagers and for teenagers.

The story begins on campus.

------------

1998, Snow City, Golden Autumn.

The moment the first ray of sunlight today passed through the window and hit the mirror, Chen Cang had just put on his baseball cap.

He stretched the corners of his mouth and smiled at himself in the mirror. His cheek muscles pulled and the corners of his eyes twitched violently in pain.

"Hold!"

Cursing angrily, the boy grabbed his schoolbag, pushed the door open and went downstairs.

His hurried footsteps raised dust in the narrow corridor. When he passed the second floor, he kicked the iron door of the resident on the right with all his strength, then disappeared without looking back.

After a loud bang, vicious curses followed the boy's footsteps, waking up the entire family quarters.

“Chen Cang! You’re a little bastard who was born of a mother but not taught by her. You’re a pure beast born of an embezzler. You have sores on your head and pus on your feet. Your mother is a prostitute in the south and is being fucked to death! Black smoke is coming out of your ancestral graves, and you still dare to kick my door every day. Sooner or later, I will…”

There were about three to five hundred words of classic Northeastern swear words following, but Chen Cang could no longer hear them.

He ran to the bicycle shed and kicked the neatly stacked bicycles again. Then, without waiting for the bicycles to fall like dominoes, he continued running.

The rising sun cast a golden streak behind him. The boy walked through the family quarters, bypassed the market, crossed the river, avoided the crossroads, and got out of the bungalow area, stopping at the last alley next to the school.

He bent over, took a deep breath, took a step forward, and kicked with his third kick, knocking over a tall fat man who happened to be passing by the alley.

Without waiting for the other party to react, Chen Cang swung the wooden stick and smashed the guy's limbs. After a few crisp crackling sounds, there was a tragic wailing.

At this time, Chen Cang had already jumped out several meters, spread his legs and continued to run wildly.

A song that fits the occasion came from a roadside audio-visual store: "Even if fate is turbulent, even if fate is tortuous and bizarre, even if fate threatens you that life is boring..."

As the boy ran, a wonderful sense of absurd energy emerged.

------------

Li Hong was stunned, and so was Yang Xin.

"Is this...is this a youth novel?"

"I don't know..." Li Hong blinked her beautiful eyes, "but it does sound like something Fang Xinghe would write."

Everyone who sees the opening feels very fresh. In this era, it is not rare but unique to start a story with such a straightforward and fierce love and hate.

Traditional novels - at least traditional Chinese novels - have never used such an unorthodox opening.

But is it inappropriate?

That's not the case.

In just over 500 words, not only a huge amount of information was condensed, but also Chen Cang's character was initially established, making people think of Fang Xinghe in an instant.

The three big kicks completely aroused the readers' curiosity, stimulated a special reading pleasure, and even completed the identity mapping of the protagonist Chen Cang to the author Fang Xinghe.

From then on, it was difficult for anyone to understand and empathize with Chen Cang without putting Fang Xinghe into the picture.

In this day and age, this is a perfect opening, fresh and interesting rather than boring, and it sets the main tone for the style of the entire book - wild.

In Fang Xinghe's own words, "You guys finally had a good meal. This is a golden few hundred words that was only produced thirty years later. The next author who can write this will have to practice with me for several years no matter how fast he is."

This is indeed the case. At this moment, readers across the country are experiencing an unprecedented pleasure in reading. It is the excitement of fully aroused emotions, as well as the trembling of foreseeing even more explosive content. Fang Xinghe never disappoints anyone in this regard.

Li Hong read on attentively.

She saw Chen Cang being stopped by the dean of studies at the school gate. The fat guy named Chang Ping had a disgusted look on his face: "Chen Cang, school uniform...oh, you are wearing it. School badge...oh, you are wearing it. Then, what's wrong with your hat? Take it off and let me see!"

"When did the school rules prohibit wearing hats?"

"Just pick it off when I tell you to! Why are you being so stubborn? I seriously doubt if you've gotten some weird hairstyle or dyed your hair some colorful colors. This is school, and I can take care of everything that's my responsibility!"

Chen Cang took off his baseball cap, revealing his forehead that was still bleeding, and raised it up so that Chang Ping could see it clearly.

"It's for covering wounds. If you just tell me not to wear it, I'll wear it and act like a clown in school. What do you think? Do you dare?"

The boy's rebellious look made Chang Ping both shocked and angry. He stretched out his finger and pointed at him several times, but in the end he just waved his hand: "Get out of here quickly! Don't you know you're going to be late?"

"whispering sound!"

Chen Cang's sarcastic muttering reached Chang Ping's ears: "No matter how arrogant you are now, I will always remember the time when you came to my house to pay New Year's greetings with a smile on your face like a pug."

Chang Ping's face turned pale and he clenched his fists.

Just as Li Hong was worried about Xiao Chen's uncontrolled strong self-esteem, a new conflict occurred again.

——Chen Cang walked into the school gate in a nonchalant manner. As soon as he arrived at the classroom, he was stopped by Yan Lieyu again.

The surname Yan? Such a minority...

Li Hong was suddenly stunned. She turned around and saw that the headmaster's name was Chang Ping.

"Oh my God……"

She was completely speechless, yet also found it extremely funny.

At this time, colleagues also discovered the trick in the name and asked each other: "Isn't Chang Ping the media person who spread rumors about Fang Xinghe? I remember that guy had rosacea and was bloated."

"It must be him. He won't run away."

"Then Yan Lieyu is the son of Editor-in-Chief Yan Lieshan?"

"I'm so dizzy. Why is Fang Fang using the name of a real celebrity? Isn't she afraid of being sued?"

"Isn't it just changing one word? Does that count as circumvention?"

"It seems not possible. In a situation like this, it would be very troublesome if I were sued, right?"

"Xinxin, ask him!"

Yang Xin is not stupid, so how could she disturb Fang Xinghe for such a small matter?

But she could roughly understand Fang Xinghe's thinking.

"It's not a big deal. Fang Fang is not afraid of suing someone. We've already become enemies, so what if I write you guys as villains in my work?"

"That's true."

"Wow, he's really tough. This fight is going to end until one dies..."

Hey, you guessed it right!
As the leader of the navy, Fang Xinghe knows very well how to fight against public intellectuals.

Simply put, given the current social environment, economic conditions, people's cognition and other factors, it is impossible to overthrow and criticize those public intellectuals.

Don't underestimate the followers of that group of people. Their total number is far greater than that of Fang's fans.

There are 12 billion Chinese people, more than half of whom worship foreign things and one-tenth of them are highly pro-foreign. How do you dig out their roots?
This matter really can only be solved by waiting until the country becomes strong, until the people born in the 80s and 90s can clearly see the history and reality, until a sense of national pride arises from the bottom of everyone's heart, and until the level of civilization is completely reversed, before we can sweep them into the dustbin of history.

So this is a difficult and long struggle, and wise people will never have any unnecessary illusions.

But in such an extremely crazy era, there are many people who can't stand them and despise them. It is a sin or a merit, depending on what kind of people they want to win over.

Then the strategy of struggle can be very simple - let’s fight each other and no one should be afraid!
Fang Xinghe had already made up his mind.

From now on, the villains in every work of mine will be the names of you idiots. If you want to sue, just sue. If you lose, I will pay you money - the response to the lawsuit is delayed for two years, the trial is delayed for two years, the execution is delayed for two years, and then sue again and again. If you dare to drag it out to the end, I will definitely pay you.

If I can leave my name in history, I will take you with me to be admired.

Even if I am not recorded in history, it would still be satisfying to chase you and scold you for 50 years until you go into the coffin and lie on the bed early!
Big Fangs hold grudges, small Fangs are fierce, so Fang Xinghe really doesn't care about winning or losing in the secular sense, he only cares about having fun.

This is the bottom line, the bottom line is that I have to be happy!
He once expressed his thoughts in this regard in an interview, but it seemed that no one took it seriously. However, things will be different from now on. Real works have been released, and every villain in them has a real prototype. Then we will just see who gets hurt.

This little episode provides more fun for everyone's reading.

No one is not curious about what kind of bad guy Fang Xinghe is as they portray him to be.

Back to text.

Yan Lieyu is a second-generation G in the novel. His father’s real name is Yan Lieshan, who was the deputy county magistrate of Xuedu at the time.

He and Chen Cang had been enemies for a long time, so he started to mock him right away.

This is another classic technique used in online literature, torturing the protagonist and attracting hatred.

It’s not so popular in later male channels, but I’m still using it now… come on, it’s super advanced, okay?

Li Hong read the text of the first chapter carefully and quickly formed a complete outline in her mind.

This chapter actually mainly talks about 4 things:

1. Who is Chen Cang?

The son of an embezzler.

My father was originally the director of a machinery factory. At that time he was very successful and was known as a rich and powerful man.

Later, his father jumped off the building out of fear of punishment, and his mother abandoned him and ran to the south, leaving Chen Cang an orphan.

2. What he is facing.

He faced estrangement from his former friends, resentment from the children of factory workers, the pressure of survival, and the ruthless backlash from those who once smiled at him.

3. What is his condition?

Chen Cang stretched himself like a bow, stubbornly resisting everything. He even gave up distinguishing between good intentions and bad intentions, and responded fully to external stimuli.

4. Why?
How did all this happen?
Fang Xinghe left a lot of suspense, details, and emotions in the first chapter.

Moreover, his control over emotions is perfect, with several reversals in one chapter.

It feels good at first, then there is pressure, and after it is compressed to a certain limit, it immediately rebounds and finally ends in a state of confusion.

Li Hong couldn't wait to turn the page and start reading the second chapter.

Then she discovered that the structure had changed.

The first chapter is from the present perspective, and the second chapter is from the past perspective - it is not Chen Cang's memories, but a jumpy point-to-point transition - using the same emotion to transition, which is very advanced and clever.

The pace suddenly slowed down, and the text became cold and serious.

Chen's father died from falling from a building.

“Patriotism means jumping down on your own.”

The uncles and aunts who had watched Chen Cang grow up in the family quarters of the machinery factory had flickering eyes and hesitated. "He said he was sorry for everyone..."

Chen Cang was in a daze for a long time and still couldn't accept it.

People from the family came and went, the Discipline Inspection Commission came, and the Procuratorate came, but they found nothing. However, in the end, Chen Aiguo was still classified as "suicide out of fear of punishment."

The big "Director's Building" where the factory leaders lived was taken back. The mother took Chen Cang, carrying large and small bags, and returned to the old house in the family quarters.

From that day on, the way the world treated him changed forever.

……

Chapter 3, jump back to the main perspective.

The man whose arm was broken by Chen Cang in the morning was called Black Dog. His buddies, a group of unemployed kids from the machinery factory who had become gangsters, blocked Chen Cang after school in the evening.

Xiao Chen started running wildly again.

He ran through the downtown area, went through the market, went around the old factory area to the side door, climbed over the wall, and finally got rid of the pursuers.

The once prosperous factory area is now covered with weeds. Erlangzi angrily knocked on the deformed iron gate and shouted, "You bastard, come out, you owe us all justice!"

Chen Cang hugged his knees and sat in the bushes in a daze, not knowing who to talk to about the grievances in his heart.

You want justice?

My father died in unclear circumstances, who can I ask for justice?
The emotions change again, Chapter 4, grievance.

One day, after waking up, the mother disappeared with the remaining valuables in the house, leaving only 231 yuan for Chen Cang.

From that day on, he began to be bullied, insulted, and even beaten.

Everyone attributed the closure of the machinery factory to Chen Aiguo's corruption and bribery, but Chen Cang always felt that this might not be the case.

In his memory, Chen Aiguo was not a good father.

This man is aloof and old-fashioned, and always serious outside. But as soon as he gets home, he starts to find fault and complain if things don't go his way.

And because he loved to complain, Chen Cang remembered that his father had mentioned many times that the county was too incompetent, and that they had to withdraw funds, fill in accounts, and help entertain so-and-so...

Although Chen Aiguo has various shortcomings, his enthusiasm for the factory is real. Several years ago, when he was working on some technical problems, he lived in the factory without sleep. Not only did he send money home, he even paid for the engineers' midnight snacks out of his own pocket.

Did such a person really embezzle money?
……

Chapter 5, present perspective, transfer student.

There is a new transfer student in Chen Cang’s class, a girl named Lou Yexue who is so beautiful that makes others feel ashamed of themselves.

Li Hong perked up and immediately knew that this was the heroine. She couldn't wait to see some sweet and interesting interactions between Chen Cang and Lou Yexue to dilute the depression of the previous chapters.

However, Fang Xinghe seemed like a master at manipulating people's hearts, and the first thing that happened between them was a conflict.

Lou Yexue's father was the big businessman who was negotiating with the county to acquire the machinery factory.

The sensitive Chen Cang directly labeled Lou Yexue as "untrustworthy". When she curiously asked, "Are you Uncle Chen's son?", Chen Cang replied, "It's the son of a corrupt criminal, the eldest daughter of a capitalist. What do you have to say about me?"

Lou Yexue was so angry that her face turned red, but she still tried to explain something. However, she was interrupted by Yan Lieyu who came over to please her. Their first meeting ended in a bad mood.

But Lou Yexue's kindness gave this relationship a second and third chance.

She found an opportunity to explain to Chen Cang: "My family was originally from Xuedu, and my father and your father were good friends, but later our family moved to the provincial capital to develop. My father said that he believed Uncle Chen was not a corrupt official."

Chen Cang's pupils trembled, but in the end he still replied stiffly: "Sorry, I can't afford you!"

The third time was more than a month later. Chen Cang was blocked again and was severely beaten. Lou Yexue brought medicine for him.

The girl laughed at him, "How many beatings have you received in the past month? I saw three of them with my own eyes. Your face was never in good condition. They all said you were handsome. Hey, when can you let me see it?"

Chen Cang felt deeply hurt.

From that day on, he became more cautious. He took revenge on four people within half a month, but was never caught again.

Half a month later, he put on a white shirt, combed his hair into a flashy and funny Chow Yun-fat-style slicked-back style, came to the classroom in a cocky manner, and stood in front of Lou Yexue's desk.

"Give."

Lou Yexue looked up, then waved her hand in disdain: "It's blocking the light."

what? !

Chen Cang was extremely embarrassed and felt as if his face was burning, but the girl's unusual reaction further aroused his competitive spirit.

"Am I not handsome?"

He half-knelt in front of Lou Yexue's desk, looking at her straight in the eye, and asked earnestly: "You said you were curious, now, I'm here to satisfy your curiosity, be brave and give me an answer - Am I not handsome?"

It is not until here that Chen Cang's appearance is described for the first time in the book.

He had delicate skin and a childish look, and his carefree manners hinted at an exaggerated adult look. His deliberately furrowed brows made him look fierce but not majestic. Even so, he was still more handsome than one would imagine.

Fang Xinghe was very cunning. He only wrote "good-looking" without any specific description, which directly led to all readers replacing his face when reading this paragraph.

But what makes him even more cunning is how he handles the girl's thoughts——

Lou Yexue looked back at Chen Cang and replied seriously: "He is handsome, but the most handsome man is in his heart and in his actions, not in his face. You spend too much energy on those self-abandoning things, so your handsomeness is too superficial, and... do you still owe me an apology?"

Chen Cang stared at her for a while, and finally said nothing. He just nodded with all his might and turned back to his seat.

After he left, Lou Yexue's ears were soon dyed with a layer of rouge red.

It is from this chapter that sweetness gradually breaks through the repression.

Fang Xinghe is so good at writing idol dramas, and what's even more amazing is that he writes them at such a high level - there are no particularly bloody conflicts, nor the Qiong Yao-style affectation that is common nowadays, only a tattered and lonely soul that is moved by the kindness, warmth, and purity that mends it in the little bits of daily details.

It starts from emotion and ends with courtesy. It is sweet in sincerity and gets better in hope.

However, in the even-numbered chapters, the world outside the campus is still turning coldly.

As Chen Cang collides with more people, many things gradually come to light.

Because Yan Lieyu also likes Lou Yexue, the conflict between the two gradually deepens;

After recovering from his injury, the black dog was instigated by Yan Lieyu to ruin Chen Cang and Lou Yexue's first date;
Chen Cang sneaked into the courtyard where Black Dog and other hooligans often gathered, but saw Song Zude scolding them for not doing their job well;
Song Zude was the director of the factory office of the machinery factory. How did they get involved? What were they doing?

Chen Cang seized the opportunity to stop Erlangzi and forced him to tell the truth: Song Zude is Yan Lieyu's uncle and the brother-in-law of Deputy County Magistrate Yan Lieshan, and has been handling various private affairs for his brother-in-law.

The naive Chen Cang did not think much about it and just thought that Yan Lieyu asked his uncle to help him vent his anger, but under Lou Yexue's persuasion, he did not have any more conflicts with Yan Lieyu.

Not long after, Erlangzi was caught for stealing iron and was sentenced for stealing public property.

Criminal policeman Wang Zhigang came to his home and asked him whether he was involved in gang theft.

"I don't!"

"But they all revealed that you were involved!"

"them?"

"All of them, Erlangzi, Chen Xing, Jieba, Ma Gan... they are all your former subordinates, right?"

Chen Cang felt it was ridiculous. Everyone, why?
Wang Zhigang said patiently: "I personally feel that there are a lot of doubts, so I am willing to trust you to a limited extent, but the law is there, you must provide sufficient evidence to prove that you are not involved!"

Chen Cang is a lonely man, what can he use to prove it?
At the critical moment, it was Lou Yexue who stood up to protect him.

"I was with Chen Cang that night."

"You are his?"

"girlfriend."

Because of Lou Qingsong and because Erlangzi changed his testimony several times, Chen Cang got away with it.

He went to visit Erlangzi in the detention center and saw that the other party's eyes were red.

"Chen...Xiao Cang, I've always known that Uncle Chen is not to blame for the factory's collapse. He tried his best, but there was nothing he could do. The factory was full of bad debts, and he couldn't do anything about it. Your family broke up, and you couldn't do anything about it. My father lost his job and beat my mother every day, and my mother couldn't do anything about it. I hung out with Hei Gou and the others, and I couldn't do anything about it.

Snow is like this, there is nothing we can do.

But I still couldn't bear to frame you. Lying in the detention room, I couldn't sleep all night. As soon as I closed my eyes, I thought of our happy childhood. You have always been the most loyal one since you were a child. Even if your father really embezzled money, it has nothing to do with you. I shouldn't have believed them, but I hate it! Why? Why can I only rot here? "

Chen Cang held back his tears and replied, "I'm rotting here too."

"No, you're different." Erlangzi shook his head, with a deep hope in his eyes, and a hint of sadness in that hope, "You've been different from us since you were a child, you won't rot here..."

Chen Cang began to study hard and worked harder than before.

With the help of Lou Yexue, he made great progress and soon caught up to the middle of the class.

On the day when Erlangzi was about to be sentenced, Chen Cang brought some cooked food and planned to visit his home, but he happened to run into Song Zude being invited into the house by Erlangzi's father.

Chen Cang wandered outside for a long time, struggling with his thoughts, when he heard a quarrel coming from inside. He felt something inexplicably moving in his heart, and climbed up to the window from the climbing platform outside the family building, and heard their drunken conversation.

"Fuck, that's not how you talked to me when you pushed Chen Aiguo down!"

Song Zude glanced at Cheng Yizhong with disdain on his face.

Cheng Yizhong's face was filled with shame, fear, anger, and annoyance. He said, "We didn't do it on purpose. It was such a mess back then, no one wanted this to happen... Besides, wasn't it you who instructed us to make trouble with Old Chen?"

Song Zude's face was filled with more sarcasm, and he sneered, "What happened next? You guys, a bunch of old guys living in a tube building, stare at orphans and widows and curse them every day, and scare your sister-in-law so much that she doesn't want her son anymore and runs off to the south to be a prostitute. It wasn't me who ordered you to do that, was it?
Oh, by the way, the rumor that your sister-in-law went to the south to sell seafood was made up by your husband and Jihong, right?

"Old Cheng, Old Cheng, although Director Chen didn't achieve much when he was here, he was very kind to you. You are being so conscienceless by doing this!"

Cheng Yizhong was so angry that he said without thinking: "The factory was emptied by you and your brother-in-law! You also forced Director Chen to death! Who am I? I was just afraid, so I took advantage of the alcohol to say a few words! Song Zude, now you pat your butt and go to the county to get promoted and make money, and my son will soon go to jail. I tell you, if you don't help, I will expose everything to you and fight you to the death!"

“The fish is dead and the net is broken?”

Song Zude laughed loudly, then stood up and leaned forward, gently patting Cheng Yizhong's cheek with his fat palm.

"You are just a peasant, but you can speak a few idioms, is that so great?
Do you fucking know what the Internet is?

In one place, all the people who can get things done are closely united together. Once spread out, they are overwhelming and can make it difficult for you bunch of peasants to move. This is what a fucking network is.

But my brother-in-law is not the net, he is the one who casts the net!

Do you think you are qualified to fight me to the death? "

Chen Cang returned home in a daze, his heart was cold and he felt so depressed that he couldn't breathe.

He had no idea what to do and just fell deeper into the darkness.

……

As Li Hong continued reading, she also felt like she couldn't breathe.

Fang Xinghe used a cold brushstroke to lay out human nature. The white paper was full of ugliness and filth, and only a few points of brilliance supported Chen Cang to move forward.

Chen Aiguo is not an embezzler, nor did he commit suicide out of fear of punishment, but what is the point of this?
The iron gate of the factory building was covered with rust, and a thick iron chain was wrapped around it like a python. The gatekeeper, Old Han, was curled up in his dirty military coat, staring blankly at the intersection that was once bustling with traffic;
The small mountain of cabbages was pale green in the twilight. Sister Liu was timidly walking around the truck, picking up the best rotten leaves with a smile. But when she insulted Chen Cang's mother as a bitch, she was so arrogant that Chen Cang felt extremely irritated when he saw this scene.

In the alley next door, half of the neon tubes in the video hall were broken, and "Pussycat Dinner" became "King of Fucking Pig". An older sister who looked familiar in a trance walked into the pink-lit hut next door with her face covered.

Chen Cang walked through the chaos, and the only motivation that kept him looking forward was Lou Yexue's expectations.

"We will take the exam together, walk hand in hand in a very beautiful university campus, and sit on a bench for a while when we get tired. You look up and count the stars in the sky, and I count the stars in your eyes. We will both be in a happy mood."

Chen Cang was deeply moved. How could she be so capable?
Li Hong was also deeply moved. How could Fang Xinghe be so capable?
In such a dark and muddy place, nothing is more precious than this sweet taste.

Look at the silly smile on Yang Xin's face. She is completely immersed in it and deeply fascinated by the ignorant love in the book.

Well, it is indeed worthy of being the healing youth love acknowledged by Fang Xinghe himself. It is too beautiful, too pure, and too intoxicating.

In fact, Li Hong is a very independent, rational, stable person who does not like sweet things, but Fang Xinghe is really good at writing. The most amazing thing about him is that he creates a strong environment with his serious literary writing style.

He wrote about the wave of layoffs in Northeast China, the plight of state-owned enterprises, the helplessness of individuals in the face of the times, the fragility of human nature under the pressure of survival, and the confusion, despair and sadness of an orphan after falling into darkness. Ultimately, all of this was to highlight redemption.

There is not a single wasted moment here, including the fresh interlaced structure and smooth transitions, all of which add credibility to the preciousness of this love.

Lou Yexue supports Chen Cang, not with empty slogans, but by giving him sweet details again and again.

She was beautiful, intelligent, generous, and yet innocent and naughty. She often did things that were extremely fresh and seductive in that era. Li Hong felt that she was madly in love with her.

At this moment, all the female readers in China who have bought "Cang Ye Xue" are completely and absolutely immersed in such a fantasy love blooming in the dark quagmire.

They were nearly halfway through the book and they were eager for more.

***********
These necessary words also add credibility to the book's great success.

I have tried my best today, and we will see the result tomorrow.

(End of this chapter)
