The printing factory is a relatively polluting industry and is built on the edge of the city.
It is a two-hour drive from the publishing house.
But because the university town where Lincheng University is located is relatively remote and happens to be in the same direction as the printing factory, it was more convenient in the past.
"This is not my first time coming to the printing factory."
Lin Xingran seemed very familiar with the job.
The two first took the bus to the terminal, then met the person who came to pick them up from the printing factory, and then got on a slightly crowded pickup truck, arriving half an hour later.
"Do you need to come to the printing factory frequently to keep an eye on this book?" Jiang Baige asked.
Lin Xingran shook his head: "No, just because this is my first book, so I don't want to miss any step of producing it."
Just like a mother to her child , or even deeper feelings, because books will not hurt its "matrix".
Perhaps it was the word "child", or perhaps it was the fact that standing in the printing factory, surrounded by so many finished and semi-finished books, Jiang Baige thought of Jing Chai.
They have not contacted each other for a long time. She wants to know how they are doing, whether the matter has been resolved, whether it has affected her writing, and whether she plans to continue writing...
< p> But each time the edited text was not sent out, because she didn't know how to ask questions to make it appear that she was not intentionally prying into privacy, and she didn't know whether it would cause secondary harm to her if she really asked these questions.But now she thought of her again.
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Xingran pulled Jiang Baige, who was almost tripped by the packing rope on the ground, "When you look up at the stars, you should also keep your feet on the ground."
Jiang Bai Ge laughed and brought back his wandering thoughts.
But she didn’t pull it back completely. She was wondering if she could write a story related to publishing. The heroine could be based on Lin Xingran and write about how she practices her ideals...
p>
This seems a bit thin, because she does not want to end up writing the workplace as a "place" where love happens.
Then turn this story into a group portrait, such as four classmates in the dormitory of the Chinese Department who parted ways after graduation, but unexpectedly met again at a book fair.
Among them are editors, frustrated quasi-writers who have not yet published any books, bookstore clerks who are making things difficult for them, and... who stopped working because of premature marriage. A housewife who just took some time off to come to the book fair.
A new story happened again around the four people who reunited...
"What are you thinking about again?" Lin Xingran's voice interrupted Jiang Baige's mind The development of the story, "After I became an editor, I met many authors, and sometimes I felt familiar. Then I remembered that it turned out that I had watched you wandering and writing in the dormitory in the past few years. It was very similar.. "
Jiang Baige smiled silently. It seemed that Chen Xi had also said this.
It was strange today. She always thought of Jing Chai and the others inexplicably.
The smell of ink became stronger and stronger. The two of them could not get too close to the machine, so they just watched from a distance through the huge glass.
After a while, someone came to Lin Xingran, it seemed. Confirming some printing details with her
Lin Xingran frowned and hurriedly called the editor, seemingly to confirm the format of the file sent and whether it was the final version...
p>No one noticed Jiang Baige, and she didn't want to disturb Lin Xingran's work, so she quietly stepped away and started looking at the printing factory.
Gradually, the smell of ink in her nose changed. It faded away, replaced by a plastic smell.
She walked to another area where books were being packed.
A bright book fell to the ground. The cover, with a bright yellow background and pink characters, is almost dazzling... There are books like this all over the floor, most of which have not yet been plastic-wrapped, like a huge sunflower field.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on it. Continue reading on one page.
But Jiang Baige had never seen a sunflower field.
She bent down, picked up the book, and was stunned.
The word "Jing Chai" was printed in dark red on the cover, which was more eye-catching than the three words "Lilith" in the title of the book.
Jiang Baige immediately understood that Jing Chai was the right person. My "child" was taken back.
It did not become the innocent moan of the victim who pretended to be seduced by "Adam" in the "Garden of Eden", but became her own "Lilith", even though she was seriously injured. The escape from domestication began.
Jiang Baige took out his cell phone, took a photo of Lilith's victory flags and sent it to Jing Chai.
She wrote: [Congratulations to you. , my Lilith, you brought her back to life.]
When she sent it, she didn’t think about offending or hurting her. She only expressed heartfelt congratulations.
Naturally. I didn't expect a reply.
But soon, Jing Chai replied, and it was much more than Jiang Bai Ge wanted: [Long time no see, Bai Ge. When are we free? I have a lot to say to you. Also, congratulations on your admission to Anjing University.]
Jiang Baige’s fingers trembled slightly: [Okay]
A few days later, Jiang Baige met Jing Chai, who was radiating a soft light, at the newly opened restaurant next to the school cafe where Lu Tian was discovered and entered the entertainment industry.
This was the first time she was there. She didn't feel that sadness.
She thought, Jing Chai is really a very strong person.
"The cafe next door was packed. Jing Chai smiled and sat across from Jiang Bai Ge, "It's better to be here, quiet." ”
Because of Lu Tian, that cafe has become an "Internet celebrity", and people often come to take photos and check in.
There are still people waiting for Lu Tian to show up in this cafe.
He has returned to Lincheng, but it seems that he doesn’t come to school very often. There weren’t many classes in his junior year.
Occasionally thinking of him, Jiang Baige would feel a sense of separation.
Seeing Lu Tian who was active in the circle of friends - she guessed that Lu Tian would not block her, unless he had no consciousness of being a "traffic" and wanted to show affection in the circle of friends; Seeing the people who were pursuing Lu Tian, checking in at the place where he was discovered, and waiting for him, she didn't even know which one was real.
She took a sip of coffee. Now Lu Tian probably prefers iced American style because it can reduce edema.
"Senior, how are you doing lately?"
This was a very vulgar opening, but it was also what Jiang Baige wanted to know most at the moment.
So Jing Chai did not blame him, but told him the truth.
She got her novel back and successfully published it; she and Chen Xi each moved out of their original homes, rented a two-bedroom apartment together, and officially became roommates; she began to visit regularly every week As a psychiatrist, you no longer need to think that there are still many unfinished stories to avoid dying.
After saying that, Jing Chai took out her new book from her schoolbag: "I don't have any gifts for you, so I'll give this book to you."
Jiang Bai Ge Ge opened the book and was surprised to find that her name was written on the title page, next to the "Women's Alliance" and Chen Xi.
After their names are——
"Thank you. Without you, this book and I would not exist at this moment."
