Chapter 297 Hello, Lou Xiaoe, hello
In every corner of this city, they exude a kind of vitality and creativity. Su Ming knows that he has a friend who will always support and understand him on his literary journey; and Xiao Dang, through this experience, has regained the direction and courage of life.
The next morning, Xiao Dang woke up earlier than usual. She found her phone on the bedside table, turned on the alarm clock, and silently counted her breaths. After returning home last night, she had been thinking about her relationship with Lao Jiang. The doubts and uneasiness in her heart enveloped her like a dark cloud.
She slowly got out of bed, replaying the scene of last night in her mind. After Lao Jiang came home, their conversation was not as calm as she expected. Lao Jiang tried to explain, with a sense of powerlessness and apology in his voice, but Xiao Dang could not accept it. Her heart had been torn into thousands of pieces, and each piece was twisted in pain.
She walked to the window and opened it. The breeze brushed across her cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down. She knew that the first step she needed to take now was to face all this with Lao Jiang honestly.
She put on a simple home dress and walked into the living room. Lao Jiang was sitting on the sofa, looking at his phone. When he saw her coming out, he looked a little tired, but also a little expectant.
"Lao Jiang, we need to talk." Xiao Dang's voice was not as gentle as usual, but firm and calm.
Lao Jiang raised his head and looked into her eyes. He looked a little helpless. "Xiao Dang, yesterday I..."
"I know what you want to say, but now is not the time to say it." Xiao Dang interrupted him. Although her voice was calm, it was full of determination. "I need you to leave."
Lao Jiang was stunned. He didn't expect her to be so resolute. His lips moved, but he didn't say anything.
Xiao Dang continued, "The problem between us cannot be solved by a simple apology. I need time and space to think clearly."
Lao Jiang was silent for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, I...I understand."
He stood up slowly and walked to the door. He looked back and wanted to say something, but found that he could no longer break her decision at the moment. He turned and left the apartment, leaving behind a silence and emptiness.
Xiao Dang watched his back disappear at the end of the corridor, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She had not expected this day to come, but now, she had to face and accept it. She closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then turned back to the living room, intending to start her new day.
She did not go out that day, but sorted out some thoughts. She also sent a text message to Su Ming, informing him that his condition was stable and he planned to return to Beijing as scheduled.
Two days later, she arrived at the airport as scheduled and met Su Ming at the exit. This time, her mood was no longer as heavy and confused as before, but full of hope and determination.
They walked out of the airport together and came to the parking lot. Su Ming drove the car and Xiao Dang sat in the passenger seat. The car drove out of the airport and entered the familiar city road.
"Xiaodang, have you read my final draft?" Su Ming asked tentatively.
Xiao Dang nodded and said, "I read it and I think your story is very profound, especially the inner conflict and growth process of the protagonist, it is very well written."
Su Ming smiled, "Thank you. I have some more ideas, I wonder what you think of the improvements."
Their conversation gradually transitioned from creative techniques to the value and significance of literature. Inspired by Su Ming, Xiao Dang also made some suggestions on character creation and plot arrangement. Their communication was like a feast of inspiration and excitement, and their resonance in understanding literature became deeper and deeper.
"I hope you can become my partner." Su Ming said, his eyes flashing with sincerity and expectation, "I believe we can create more meaningful works together."
Xiaodang listened quietly, feeling inexplicably touched and happy. She realized that this was not only a kind of cooperation, but also a kind of spiritual harmony and resonance. The communication and understanding between them made her feel that every step in life was full of possibilities and hope.
The car traveled through the bustling city streets, and their hearts were close to each other at this moment. Su Ming looked at the road ahead, his heart full of expectations and longings for the future. He knew that with Xiao Dang's company and understanding, he would go further and write more touching works.
Xiaodang began to believe that even if she encountered setbacks and difficulties in life, she could still move forward firmly. She regained her direction and courage in life and began to rethink her life and future.
Xiaodang and Su Ming continued their conversation in the car, and their discussion on literary creation and the future brought their hearts closer together.
“I think in the second novel, we can explore the protagonist’s growth and inner world in more depth,” Xiao Dang said, with anticipation in her eyes. “For example, how he gradually grows and strengthens his beliefs when facing difficulties in life.”
Su Ming nodded. "Yes, I have similar ideas. I hope that through his experience, I can reflect the contemporary young people's exploration of self-cognition in the face of social pressure."
Their conversation was full of passion and creativity, and their ideas intertwined like a colorful picture. The car drove through a suburban field, the sun shone on the golden wheat fields, and everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.
At this moment, Su Ming's phone rang. He glanced at the screen and said to Xiao Dang with a smile, "It's Lou Xiao'e's call. She might be here to see you."
Xiao Dang thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll take it." She took the phone and pressed the answer button, "Hello, Lou Xiao'e, hello."
Lou Xiao'e's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaodang, are you there? I have something to discuss with you."
Xiao Dang replied with a little surprise: "What is it?"
"I'll come to you now and we'll talk face to face." Lou Xiao'e said and hung up the phone.
Xiao Dang frowned and handed the phone to Su Ming, "She said she wanted to come to me to discuss something."
Su Ming was slightly surprised, "So she had to come so far?"
Xiao Dang nodded, feeling somewhat puzzled, wondering what urgent matter Lou Xiao'e wanted to find her for. Although they were good friends, they would not disturb each other easily, let alone so suddenly.
Soon, Lou Xiao'e arrived at Xiaodang's apartment on time. She looked anxious as soon as she entered the door, and said to Xiaodang, "Xiaodang, I just heard Su Ming say that you two are going to write a novel together?"
