Chapter 345 I was tortured to tears
After returning to Fuxing Village and staying for another ten days or so, the summer vacation came to an end.
Amidst Chu Dexi's pig-like wailing, Shen Xuewei got into Chu Fu's van and arrived at Yizhou Airport.
"Second Uncle, drive carefully on your way back."
"Okay, I know. Give us a call when you get to school so we can let you know you're safe. Otherwise, your aunt will keep nagging you."
"Okay, I'll go in first then, goodbye."
After saying goodbye to Chu Fu, Shen Xuewei pushed her suitcase into the airport.
After being checked by airport staff, she sat in the waiting room waiting to board her flight.
Back at school, Lu Jiayi was still the first to arrive at the dormitory, or rather, she had been living in the dormitory all summer.
Seeing Shen Xuewei pushing her suitcase back, she smiled and greeted her.
Good afternoon, how was your summer vacation?
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because the moment she did, Shen Xuewei was reminded of her grandmother's passing, and her expression darkened.
She forced a smile. "It's alright."
Seeing Shen Xuewei walk into the dormitory with her lips pursed, and noticing her low spirits, Lu Jiayi, who had originally wanted to talk to her, decided against it.
She is an extremely sensitive person to emotional changes, and she can detect Shen Xuewei's mood changes.
This is not just okay, it's absolutely terrible.
In just one summer vacation, what happened to Shen Xuewei again? Even her usual smiling face is gone.
Shen Xuewei clearly didn't want to talk at the moment, so she didn't go over to disturb her.
Shen Xuewei processed her negative emotions on her own and then cheered herself up again.
During the days of welcoming new students, Shen Xuewei put on the custom-made uniform issued by the school and stood at the school gate to greet and guide the new students.
After several busy days, Shen Xuewei finally finished her work once she confirmed that she had received the volunteer service credits.
After school started, she tried to keep herself busy so that she wouldn't have time to think about those sad things.
During the summer vacation, she was busy taking care of her grandmother, so she stopped updating her novel for a while. She only resumed updating it after the new student orientation was over.
After finishing "The Record of the Demon King of the World", she wrote a new novel titled "The Immortal Chart".
As the name suggests, the story revolves around a mysterious scroll depicting immortality.
Compared to other novels on the Dream Gallery, this book performed quite well, but unfortunately it still couldn't compare to "The Record of the Demon King of the World".
It has been more than half a year since "The Legend of the Demon King" ended, but it still dominates the top spot on the charts, putting many new and old books below it.
Shen Xuewei's novel "The Longevity Chart" has now reached 500,000 words, and the book is expected to be completed at around 700,000 words.
From the moment she started writing her new book, Shen Xuewei knew that she could never write a work like "The Record of the Demon King of the World".
Her masterpiece was perhaps "The Record of the Demon King of the World".
She sighed with some regret, putting aside all her thoughts, and continued to focus her attention on the "Longevity Chart".
People are influenced by their environment, and books are influenced by the author's emotions.
The elderly couple passed away one after another. No matter how hard she tried to force herself to think less and remember less, her true emotions could not be hidden.
And this emotion inevitably seeped into the book.
Readers of "The Longevity Chart" are delighted by the author's frequent, unpredictable updates.
However, the joy was short-lived, as the following plot brought her to tears.
Less than a month after the start of the school year, Shen Xuewei finished "The Longevity Chart" amidst the wailing of her readers.
In the end, of the five main characters, only the female protagonist survived.
She destroyed the "Longevity Painting," a painting coveted by countless people and for which countless others lost their lives, and, carrying the relics left behind by her companions, embarked on a solitary journey ahead.
Three days after the novel ended, which happened to be the weekend, Shen Xuewei received an invitation from Yun Li, who said he wanted to treat her to dinner.
Shen Xuewei had indeed not seen her for quite a while, so she readily agreed.
At noon, he appeared at the restaurant where he had met her before.
Unexpectedly, there was another person with her, not Feng Xuemei whom Shen Xuewei knew.
When Yun Li saw Shen Xuewei arrive, she stood up and introduced her:
"Weiwei, this is Xia Yu'ai, the biggest boss of Dreamweaver Bookstore. You two should get to know each other."
"Yu'ai, this is Weiwei. As for her pen name, you should already know it, so I won't introduce it."
Shen Xuewei was stunned when she saw the woman in front of her with her bright and outgoing features.
She had heard Yun Li say that the person who held the largest share in Dreamweaver Bookstore was Yun Li, followed by another partner.
I just didn't expect that the person would be so young.
"Hello, I am Shen Xuewei."
She extended her hand to Xia Yu'ai and shook hands with her.
Xia Yu'ai was very polite. After shaking hands with Shen Xuewei, she turned around and took out a novel with the title "Rose" printed on the hem of a skirt, and handed it to Shen Xuewei along with a pen.
"I've been following your novels since they were serialized in Bieyang. I've read every single one of them. This one is my favorite, besides The Legend of the Demon King of the World."
"Now that I've finally met you in person, I wonder if I'll have the honor of getting your autograph?"
This is a big spender who has tipped her books with nearly five million yuan!
Let alone signing one book, even if it's a hundred or a thousand, Shen Xuewei would be happy to do so.
"Sure, where do you want to sign? Here, right? Okay, no problem."
She signed her pen name with a flourish and, as Xia Yu'ai requested, wrote a message of blessing for her, her attitude couldn't be better.
Seeing that the two were getting along well, Yun Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then asked Shen Xuewei about her next plans.
"Weiwei, your latest book is finished. When do you plan to start a new one?"
When asked about this topic, Xia Yu'ai perked up her ears, almost revealing what she wanted Shen Xuewei to do.
Shen Xuewei shook her head slightly, "I'm not feeling well lately, and I won't be releasing any new books for at least six months."
Yun Li asked with concern, "What happened?"
Shen Xuewei smiled, but there was a hint of sadness in her smile.
"It's nothing, it's just that a family member recently passed away, so..."
Yun Li nodded. "I'm sorry for bringing up such painful memories. Please accept my condolences."
I understand now. No wonder the recently concluded book, "The Longevity Chart," carried a hint of sadness and seemed to be constantly delivering painful blows. So that's the reason.
She glanced at Xia Yu'ai and quietly shook her head at her.
Xia Yu'ai was not one to force people to do things against their will. Although she was somewhat disappointed, she did not insist.
Shen Xuewei had club activities planned for the afternoon. After having lunch and chatting with the two for a while, she said goodbye.
Watching Shen Xuewei's disappearing figure, Xia Yu'ai casually poked at a piece of untouched steak with her fork.
Do you have any other candidates?
She browsed the entire website, but what she wanted most was still Shen Xuewei.
