Chapter 35 Chapter 35 "Brother, you are so nice."
"Has your novel been published?"
Jiang Shizao was a little nervous when he asked this question.
Novels in the Lingcheng world could also become copies of infinite space. Thinking of this, Jiang Shizao looked at the people around him.
He remembered that Wen Zhi had been writing novels for ten years.
It's amazing... just like Abyss.
"It can be considered as published." Wen Zhi said.
"Huh?"
Jiang Shizao obviously didn't quite understand what "considered published" meant. Just as he was wondering if this meant the novel was being published, Wen Zhi beside him stopped.
The two stood under the shade of a tree. Not far ahead was a bridge across the Ling River, and across the bridge was a supermarket.
Jiang Shizao stopped along with Wen Zhi's movements.
The living area in front is separated from their apartment by a bell river, where there are various shops and entertainment facilities.
Standing at this position, you can already hear the sound of the river.
The Ling River runs through many blocks in the South Bank, and the Ling River community where they live is named after the Ling River.
However, Jiang Shizao has not yet been to the residential area on the other side of Linghe.
It was at this time that Wen Zhi said: "You probably won't be able to see my published novels here. They are not in Lingcheng, but if Zao Zao wants to read them, I can..."
Wen Zhi seemed to be thinking seriously about a method, but Jiang Shi had already been stunned by the other party's words.
The published novel is not in Lingcheng... What does this mean?
Isn't there only Bell City in this world...?
Just yesterday, he and Wen Qianchuan arrived at the border of Lingcheng's west coast...
"I can show Zao Zao the original manuscript." Wen Zhi said with a smile.
But the boy in front of him seemed not to be listening.
Jiang Shizao grabbed Wen Zhi's arm, his eyes fixed on him without blinking. "Brother, why aren't your novels in Lingcheng? Where are they? Are there other cities here?"
Jiang Shizao asked several questions in quick succession. In his eyes, the kind neighbor before him seemed to be more than just a person!
Jiang Shizao recalled almost every scene he had with Wen Zhi.
Oh, and his neighbor lives so close to him and always helps him...
Why hadn't he considered that Wen Zhi might be a very important person? At least to him, a book transmigrator, Wen Zhi, who was always by his side, always helping him and caring for him... Such a gentle and kind person... Could Wen Zhi... could he be the one this world had set for him... the one who would help book transmigrators, give them hints... the one who would become his good brother's guide?
Yes, just like the school doctor Wen Helin.
Jiang Shizao subconsciously thought of Wen Helin. But whether subconsciously or in his current thoughts, he realized that Wen Zhi was special...
Wen Zhi is a little more special.
He can write novels and seems to know about the world outside of Bell City.
In just a few short seconds, Jiang Shizao had already thought of many things.
At this moment, he was holding Wen Zhi's hand, but it seemed as if he had caught an opportunity to go to the outside world, an opportunity to return to his original world.
Wen Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression softened, and he looked even gentler.
He let Jiang Shizao touch him and watched hope rise in Jiang Shizao's eyes... His Zao Zao's thoughts were so easy to understand.
So cute.
It’s a pity that he wasn’t here to take away those who left early.
Wen Zhi lowered his head and looked down, his pleasant voice almost bewitching:
"This is difficult to explain... I knew long ago that there were other cities outside of Bell City... but for some reason, I'm trapped here." He pretended to lower his eyes as he spoke. "This may be difficult for you to understand... After all, you've always lived in Bell City, and the residents here... probably haven't thought about what the world outside Bell City is like."
Wen Zhi's voice became softer and softer, and there seemed to be an indescribable loneliness and helplessness in his tone.
Sure enough, Jiang Shizao was stunned when he heard this.
His hand holding Wen Zhi also froze.
What his neighbor said to him at this moment was so similar to what he said to Wen Qianchuan last night.
Listening to Wen Zhi's voice, Jiang Shizao's heartbeat became faster and faster, and his whole heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest.
Wen Zhi... What does Wen Zhi mean? Why would Wen Zhi say such a thing...
Wen Zhi...who is he?
Jiang Shizao looked at his neighbor in front of him. The moment their eyes met, an incredible guess suddenly arose in Jiang Shizao's heart.
"Brother..." Jiang Shizao's voice trembled because of this speculation, "You, you, you..."
"What's wrong, Zao Zao?" Wen Zhi still smiled gently. He looked down at Jiang Shi Zao with a hint of guilt in his expression. "Did I scare you? I'm sorry... I knew it would be like this."
The last sentence was spoken in a very soft voice, almost as if he was talking to himself.
Wen Zhi knew very well how these words would shock the person in front of him. Jiang Shizao would become suspicious, would make guesses, and would want to confirm.
Although he is not the one who came to take Zao Zao away, he can become the person that Zao Zao remembers in her heart.
He wanted everyone to see him as one of their own.
Not only that... As long as 001 truly disappears, he will be the author Abyss. Zao Zao will be with him forever, living together in Bell City.
So the boy in front of him said: "Brother, I'm not scared, I am... I'm not a resident of Bell City!"
When Jiang Shizao said this, he was almost like a gambler. He knew that this was very risky and it was totally inconsistent with his belief in living a life of seclusion.
But Wen Zhi's words revealed too much information, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"Brother, you just mentioned the residents of Bell City. You...you are not a resident of Bell City either, right?"
Jiang Shizao did not directly mention the matter of the book traveler.
But Wen Zhi's expression before him was already shaken. At that moment, countless emotions converged in Wen Zhi's eyes.
Jiang Shi had already seen it. He felt that his expression should be the same as Wen Zhi's.
"Zao Zao, how come you're not a resident of Lingcheng? Could it be... you're also a book traveler?"
At this moment, Jiang Shizao was completely stunned.
A book traveler. A book traveler. A book traveler.
These three words coming out of Wen Zhi's mouth sounded like a kind of redemption.
"Brother, you really are a book traveler..." Jiang Shizao murmured.
The guess that he couldn't say directly was expressed by the person in front of him.
Holding Wen Zhi's hand, Jiang Shizao was about to cry.
Wen Zhi seemed to take a breath as well, and his chest rose and fell, but he soon regained his composure and began to comfort the person in front of him.
Just like the way he always pretended in front of Jiang Shizao.
Gentle and patient.
"Zao Zao, did you really travel through time? Did you travel through time after reading the novel "Bell City"?"
When Jiang Shizao heard the novel "Bell City", tears fell down.
Wen Zhi was a little surprised. He quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears of the person in front of him.
His tone became a little anxious, "Zao Zao, don't cry."
Then he hugged the person in his arms again and comforted him, "Don't cry, it's okay. It's okay. Zao Zao. I'm here."
Jiang Shizao looked up at Wen Zhi, his emotions suddenly out of control and his voice was choked.
Bell City...
"Brother, did you also come here after reading the novel "Bell City"? Is this true, brother? Are you really the same as me... Are we really from the same world..."?
Jiang Shizao was so excited that he kept looking at Wen Zhi and even grabbed Wen Zhi's hands with both hands.
I was afraid that the other person would disappear in the blink of an eye.
He was alone again.
"Zao Zao, don't be afraid, we are from the same world."
Wen Zhi slowed down his tone and tried to comfort her.
"You must be scared after coming through here alone. It's okay, Zao Zao. I understand. I will be with you from now on, Zao Zao. Don't be afraid."
Jiang Shizao had never considered the existence of other book-traversers. Suddenly realizing that Wen Zhi and he came from the same world, his mind was in turmoil, his emotions were agitated and complex, and he had a lot to say.
But all the emotions converged and finally turned into tears flowing.
Because Wen Zhi said he understood everything.
Wen Zhi also said that he would go with him.
The person standing before Jiang Shizao at this moment was a book traveler like him. He was originally a gentle and kind neighbor, and now he was a gentle and kind fellow villager.
Wen Zhi was so gentle that with his comfort, Jiang Shizao felt for the first time that he was actually lucky.
After the unlucky guy traveled through the book, he actually met such a good person like Wen Zhi.
After shedding several more tears, Jiang Shizao's mood finally calmed down a little. He looked at Wen Zhi:
"Brother, how long have you been here... Oh, brother, are you working at a convenience store to maintain your image? Do you have a system too? My system seems to have a problem..."
Jiang Shizao had so much to say.
Wen Zhi patiently replied, "Zao Zao, don't worry, I will answer all these questions for you."
As he said this, he looked around.
Jiang Shizao also discovered it at this time. It turned out that while he was immersed in the excitement of discovering his fellow villager, the old ladies in the neighborhood who were enjoying the cool under the shade of the trees on the roadside had already noticed them.
Wen Zhi laughed and said, "The neighbors seem to think I'm bullying you."
"No way!" Jiang Shizao straightened up instantly upon hearing that. His tears also stopped.
Wen Zhi hugged the boy with one hand. Seeing that Jiang Shi had already recovered, he said naturally: "Let's go to the supermarket early. Let's talk while walking."
"Okay." Jiang Shizao took a deep breath. When his eyes met the old lady under the shade of the tree, he felt a little embarrassed.
He never cried so easily before!
Thinking back to when Wen Qianchuan and I were being criticized on the bus, Jiang Shizao's cheeks warmed slightly.
But when he and Wen Zhi walked onto the bridge together, Jiang Shizao didn't expect Wen Zhi to say to him:
"Morning, I'm so sorry."
"...What?" Jiang Shizao immediately looked at Wen Zhi beside him.
But Wen Zhi lowered his eyes at this time, and even dared not look at anyone.
Jiang Shizao felt that his heartbeat, which had just eased a little, was about to exceed the standard again.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
"Sorry, Zao Zao." Wen Zhi raised his hand at this time, supported his forehead with his raised palm, and then his eyes fell on Jiang Shizao.
"I just hesitated and thought about it...but I can't hide this from you."
"What is it?" Jiang Shizao felt inexplicably nervous when he met Wen Zhi's light blue eyes.
It was even a little strange. It seemed like he noticed for the first time that Wen Zhi, like Wen Qianchuan, had a pair of unusual light blue eyes.
Wen Zhi took a deep breath, looked into Jiang Shizao's eyes, and said:
"Zao Zao, I don't know what caused you to enter Bell City. I'm sorry, but I... I didn't enter here because of reading the novel "Bell City."
"Morning."
"I wrote the novel 'Bell City'."
“I’m the author of this book.”
"So...I should take full responsibility for your entry into Bell City early."
When Wen Zhi said this, his expression was full of guilt, mixed with a trace of barely perceptible pain. He just looked at Jiang Shizao, told him everything, and then waited for the person in front of him to judge him.
"Zao Zao, you can blame me all you want. You can do anything you want to me. I can do anything for you, but... don't ignore me, okay?"
Wen Zhi's last words almost sounded like a cautious plea.
He just lowered his eyes, waiting for Jiang Shizao's judgment.
...Jiang Shizao's brain was confused again.
"What...what?"
My heartbeat was racing uncontrollably.
Jiang Shizao felt as if the whole world had become unreal.
It seemed that only Wen Zhi was left in his eyes.
The world seemed to stand still. Only Wen Zhi's voice could be heard.
There was also the sound of his own and Wen Zhi's breathing.
Jiang Shi had been staring at Wen Zhi blankly for a long time.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "You wrote "Bell City"..."
What this sentence means is...
"...Are you the author Abyss?" Jiang Shizao asked.
When he said this, Jiang Shizao realized for the first time that his heart could actually vibrate like this.
Wen Zhi in front of him lowered his eyes again.
"I am."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Jiang Shizao's emotions fluctuated violently. He opened his mouth and said, "You...I...you you you...yes!!!"
When Jiang Shizao was so shocked that he was incoherent, the man who lowered his head and seemed to be sincerely repenting slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
As long as 001 disappears forever, he will of course be the author of Abyss.
And those fragments in Lingcheng, once they all disappeared, they would have been his alone.
Sooner or later, I will live with him in Bell City forever.
Ah... just thinking about such days makes people excited.
When this extremely excited man raised his eyes again, there was a completely different emotion in his eyes.
"Zao Zao...will you forgive me? I'm sorry. If I hadn't written this novel, you wouldn't have been involved in the book. I'm really...sorry."
Wen Zhi looked very guilty and sad.
Looking at Wen Zhi like this, Jiang Shizao's heart inexplicably tightened.
The words slipped out subconsciously: "...Brother, I don't blame you. Really."
Jiang Shizao said this very seriously.
From the time he entered the book until now, he really had never blamed Abyss. If he had to blame anyone...
Jiang Shizao's face flushed for a moment.
He only blamed his bad luck. And… he blamed himself… why did he leave comments and comment on Abyss's love scenes? Obviously… obviously Abyss's love scenes weren't that weird! He even speculated that Abyss had never been in a relationship…
That's too much.
This is so disrespectful to the author, if he doesn’t wear it, who will!
So, Jiang Shizao's cheeks flushed as he once again grasped Wen Zhi's wrist. He couldn't tell whether it was due to excitement or shame. "Brother, I really never blamed you! You don't have to apologize!"
“I…I…I…”
Jiang Shizao had been talking about "me" for a long time.
Finally, he raised his head and whispered, "I am your reader. I like you very much."
After saying that, I felt embarrassed again.
If the two had not met under such circumstances, Jiang Shizao thought... he would definitely behave more like a reader.
"Really, Zao Zao?" Wen Zhi seemed to care very much about Jiang Shizao's thoughts.
He has always treated Jiang Shizao with such care and caution.
The look of sincerity and kindness... even seemed a little pitiful in Jiang Shizao's eyes, which made Jiang Shizao's heart tighten again.
"You really won't blame me?"
"I really won't, bro!"
Wen Zhi: "If something happens in the future..."
Jiang Shizao answered quickly: "No, brother, I won't blame you no matter what happens! And didn't I just say..." Thinking of what Wen Zhi had said to him before, Jiang Shizao felt a little embarrassed.
"Didn't brother say he would come with me? And I'm the author, so if we go together... there should be no problem, right? Right, brother?" Jiang Shizao thought for a moment, "If I really encounter danger, even if you don't care about me, I won't blame you!"
Jiang Shizao was very open-minded. Even when he read novels, he wouldn't like teammates who dragged down the protagonist.
Wen Zhi's eyes changed, "I won't ignore you, Zao Zao, no matter what happens, I won't ignore you."
"I won't abandon you." Wen Zhi said again in a deep voice.
Jiang Shizao was extremely touched.
"Brother, you are so nice."
