It was less than 24 hours since the update of Shidu Qianqian, whether it was "Shiduqianqian" or "sdqq, we are waiting for you", they have completely disappeared on the Internet.Despite the huge number of fans, it is clear that their voices are still not worth mentioning in the face of public power.

Shiduqianqian was blocked, and the Lansheng Literary Solitaire Contest was terminated due to "financial problems"-everyone knew that "financial problems" were just a cover, and the real reason was that the competition had caused too much bad influence.

For a while, the contest became the hottest topic in the online literature circle. Angry readers begged the two companies for their subscription reward fees, and fans were busy in a frenzied scolding battle: either support ten thousand thousands, or scold ten Du Qianqian dragged other authors into the water.There was even a gossip account that launched "The Story of the Lansheng Literary Solitaire Contest", which meticulously sorted out all kinds of black materials since the start of the competition in the form of stick figures, and the number of reposts exceeded [-].

Of course, Xu Yihan was the one who got scolded the most.

Xu Yihan was scolded by readers, scolded by the author's fans, scolded by the people who eat melons, and also scolded by six—now only five—authors.After the official announcement of the termination of the competition, Xu Yihan met Zhao Xin and Liu Yusheng in the coffee shop downstairs in Weilan.

Zhao Xin's expression was haughty, and there was a bit of sarcasm at the corners of his eyes and brows. He said, "Now you are going to inherit the Xu family?"

Xu Yihan shook his head: "I won't go... I don't know why this kind of thing happened. I always hope that this competition can go on, but Zhang Li..."

Zhao Xin smiled, as if he no longer cared whether he defended himself or not.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xu Yihan and Deng Yuan met Wu Yan again.It should be said that Wu Yan is the most unknown author in this competition. All the scandals and scolding battles have nothing to do with her, and all the glory and praise have nothing to do with her.In the words of one reader, she is the complete backdrop for the game.

But this time, she told Deng Yuan that she wanted to rest.

Deng Yuan said nervously: "You don't write anymore?"

Wu Yan shook her head and smiled, and gave an ambiguous answer: "It's not that I definitely won't write anymore, it's just... I'm a little tired and want to stop for a while, maybe after a few months I can't help but start writing again , maybe I won’t write in the future.”

Deng Yuan: "This competition is completely unfair, Xiaowu, don't give up, you can definitely..."

"Hey, I know, I know there's a reason why people become popular," Wu Yan raised her chin, her eyes wandering, "It doesn't matter if it's marketing hype, strength, or catching up with a hot topic... say I’m not afraid of making fun of you. I’ve been writing for so many years, and I’ve often wondered, when will it really become popular? I write at least two volumes a year, and when I serialize them, there are [-] updates per day, and the readers’ evaluations are also good..."

She sighed softly: "I really want to be popular, to be liked by more people, to be sought after by more people... Actually, I can quite understand that ten thousand degrees, think about it, become the best author Every story is tasted repeatedly by readers, and every unwritten story is expected by readers...Is this something no author can refuse? But I feel really tired now. In fact, those who participated in this competition I have fought for the opportunity from the editor for a long time. I want to give myself one last chance. If I can become popular through the competition, then I will continue to write and write well... If the competition is over and I still look the same, then Explain that I am really not suitable for writing."

Deng Yuan said anxiously: "But this competition was forcibly ended, and you haven't finished writing that story yet!"

"Yes, I know, but I'm tired." Wu Yan lowered her eyes, her eyes fell on the table, her voice was flat and unable to detect emotion, "I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed with the Internet, with myself, with this circle. .”

Wu Yan picked up her bag and left. From when she got up to when she walked out of the gate of the teahouse, it took about ten seconds—During these ten seconds, Xu Yihan tried to stop her several times, and said to her, "I'm sorry."

But he didn't go, not because he didn't want to apologize, but because he suddenly realized, what's the use of apologizing?He remembered that at the drinking party that day, Wu Yan was willing to be raped by the old president in order to publish.What was he thinking at the time?He felt that Wu Yan was too stubborn, her book could not be published due to its sensitive content, but she tried her best to hope it would be published, so why not just write something that can pass the review?Why bother with yourself?It wasn't until this moment that Xu Yihan realized that she wasn't stubborn, she just cherished her words too much.

But now she decides to "stop for a while", maybe take a short break, maybe just close the pen, Xu Yihan understands that her disappointment has been accumulated for a long time, and the competition is just the last straw-but the last straw is crushing her.

Xu Yihan couldn't help thinking, what was he killing?Is it an author's last temptation and hope for literature?Is it more subtle words that have yet to be written?Is it Wu Yan's little desire to express herself in this world?

——What he killed was far from being able to be summed up by a single "I'm sorry".

After Wu Yan left, Xu Yihan watched Deng Yuan's eyes gradually turn red.This is the first time Deng Yuan has shown such intense emotions in so many days.Deng Yuan's arms were trembling. After a while, he grabbed the empty cup on the table and threw it at Xu Yihan.

Xu Yihan didn't hide, the cold porcelain cup hit his chest, the pain was only for a moment.But Xu Yihan felt like a boulder had fallen into a deep cave, the echo was heavy and long, and it rang in his ears for a long time.

When the netizens were discussing Shidu Qianqian, Xu Yihan, and all kinds of scandals and gossip about the competition, only two of the six authors participated in the competition.

Shidu Qianqian disappears from the Internet, Pink Miaomiao and the second year's Yun leave Shanghai, and Wu Yan announces an unlimited break.Weilan's official Weibo account also removed the top Weibo post about the "Lansheng Literary Solitaire Contest".

Shanghai entered May, and the weather became hotter and hotter. On May [-]nd, the third day of the Labor Day holiday, Xu Yihan was blocked downstairs in the community by Xu Yize.At that time, he had just talked with a reporter from Zhengzhou on the phone with Deng Yuan.

Xu Yize grabbed Xu Yihan by the collar, sweating profusely, and his voice was like a bell:

"Is Zhang Li Nie Lan's younger sister?"

Xu Yihan: "Who is Nie Lan?"

"Nie Lan! Damn it," Xu Yize scolded, "He's the female boss before Haosheng! The couple set up a trap for me!"

Xu Yihan was stunned immediately: "Zhang Li is..."

"She sent me a text message!" Xu Yize took out his mobile phone, and there was a line of black and white words on the screen:

Xu Yize, everyone will know what you did to my sister.
