Chapter 125.1

Xiao Tangqiu was already draped on Meng Xinghe in order to grab his laptop, but Meng Xinghe was taller than him with a longer reach, so he couldnt grab it even after a long time.

He was about to reach out and claw Meng Xinghe in a fit of anger, but when he heard Meng Xinghes voice, he became stunned.

Shen Yuan?

This name is too perfunctory, Meng Xinghe was still complaining with a smile, Although I already knew you wouldnt be able to pick a name, your name sense is really too mediocre. And the witchs name, Lily Marlene or whatever isnt that a movie we watched together when we were in junior high?

Xiao Tangqiu became dazed.

All this Maria, Laura, Veronica, isnt this the Fassbinder trilogy? Although foreign names are hard to come by, cant you come up with a nicer name yourself? Whats the matter? Why do you have such an expression of your spirit flying off somewhere on your face again?

Xiao Tangqiu hesitated for a moment, then said, How do I feel like I might have met someone named Shen Yuan?

Oh? When? Meng Xinghe casually flipped through Xiao Tangqius settings with a nonchalant expression on his face.

It should be not long ago Xiao Tangqiu couldnt help but get lost in thought, Before we it seems that a lot of things happened many, many things but I cant remember anything now

Have you seen this person in reality? Meng Xinghe raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Tangqiu looked blank, In reality maybe not.

Meng Xinghe touched his chin, Is it a dream again?

Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly, But that feeling is very real Its like I really once stood face to face with him Its so real, its as real as the car accident yesterday

When his words came to this point, he abruptly stopped talking.

That car accident yesterday? Meng Xinghe raised his eyebrows, What do you mean?

Xiao Tangqiu pursed his lips, the name Shen Yuan was as real to him as the car accidentthe one that should have killed Meng Xinghe, the one that happened in his dreams.

He probably had a dream where Meng Xinghe died in a car accident and he met a guy named Shen Yuan in the future.

But&#k2026; was that really just a dream?

Okay, stop thinking about it, isnt this Shen Yuan a character from your pen? Its normal if you think hes familiar, after all, youve carefully come up with this person. Just like an author, your pen shapes the character and character settings, and even arranges his fate and whole life&#k2026; Meng Xinghe smiled softly, For an author, isnt the protagonist their most familiar friend?

Xiao Tangqiu pondered for a moment, That seems to make sense Show me my notebook.

Meng Xinghe smiled and handed the notebook to Xiao Tangqiu. Xiao Tangqiu took it and looked at it. It really was his junior high school handwriting. It felt like he had met an old friend he hadnt seen for a long time.

Shen Yuan He said the name softly, the image of him biting a pen to choose the main characters name back then appeared in his mind

What should the main character be called?

Cant be too ordinary, have depth! Have content!

Cant think! Cant come up with one!

Forget it, just call him Shen Yuan! It is very connotative when you hear it, and its the homonym of abyss!

Just call him Shen Yuan!

At the same time, other images flashed through his mind, but before Xiao Tangqiu could capture them, those fleeting images disappeared.

By the way, what about the ending? Meng Xinghe suddenly asked from beside him. He turned the notebook to the end, There are only settings in the whole piece. You have set seven instances, you also set the general background and NPCs of the instances, but what about the ending? Did the protagonist defeat the final boss?

Xiao Tangqiu thought hard, The ending? I forgot but generally speaking, the protagonist will defeat the final boss, right?

You Clearly, youre just writing something casually in your notebook, but this can actually be a pit? Meng Xinghes mouth twitched, Theres no text, its just a setting, you can actually have a setting story pit!

Xiao Tangqiu laughed dryly, Generally speaking, after writing the settings, it is finished

Meng Xinghe rolled his eyes, then turned to look at Xiao Tangqius bookcase, Fine! Ill see if you have written other novels, I just happen to be bored right now, Ill come and read your masterpieces!

Hey, hey, do you have to look through my dark history like this?

What kind of dark history, dont you write novels just for people to read?

Cant I appreciate it myself?

Dont be shy, who are we to each other?

Xiao Tangqiu also rolled his eyes, but didnt really stop Meng Xinghe, he picked up the notebook again and buried his head down.

Although this was indeed something he wrote, because it was written several years ago, he had almost no impression of it. It was even unfamiliar as if he was reading something written by someone else. Only when he saw Shen Yuan did he feel an unparalleled familiarity with the name as if the man had been by his side not so long ago As if the man had stood alive before him not too long ago.

Xiao Tangqiu was in a trance again, he couldnt believe that his familiarity with Shen Yuan was just because an author should be familiar with the characters he created. But at this moment, Shen Yuan was really just a name and a character in his notebook.

Meng Xinghe flipped out several notebooks that Xiao Tangqiu had used to write novels. Although most of them were just settings and outlines, there were also a few notebooks with a few lines of story written on them.

Theyre all pits! Dont you have a finished novel! Meng Xinghe criticized Xiao Tangqiu in an old-fashioned tone, Young man, you cant be like this! You cant become a great author like this!

Xiao Tangqiu said without raising his head, I dont intend to become a great author. These stories are just for fun. Anyway, I didnt intend to show them to anyone. It doesnt matter if theyre pits.

Meng Xinghe looked up and was about to criticize Xiao Tangqius half-assed thinking, but saw that Xiao Tangqiu was still looking down at the notebook, and couldnt help but wonder, Why are you still looking at that notebook? What are you thinking about?

Xiao Tangqiu was silent for a while before opening his mouth, I was thinking Could Shen Yuan actually not be my character, but a real person?

Meng Xinghe looked surprised, What sleeptalk are you saying? Do you think the protagonist in your story is a real person? Do you want to become the sculptor who fell in love with your own sculpture?

But I really think the name Shen Yuan is very familiar. Its like Ive heard this name mentioned countless times, and even I, myself, have called it countless times. Xiao Tangqiu looked dazed, it shouldnt be just a dream, could there be such a real dream? I even remember that he has two cats

One is called Apollo, the other is called Dionysus? Meng Xinghe raised his eyebrows, The sun god and wine god in Greek mythology, the two promoting arts and the spirit of development mentioned by Nietzsche in

The Birth of Tragedy

I remember reading this book together when we were in junior high school.

Xiao Tangqiu was stunned, Have we read this book together?

Meng Xinghe smiled, You also said at the time that if you wanted to get pets in the future, you would have to get two cats, one black and one white. One called Apollo and the other Dionysus Didnt I say I have a good memory?

Xiao Tangqiu was stunned again, I said something like this?

You did, Meng Xinghe nodded, not long ago you said that you would have a cat and a dog in the future, one named Schrdinger and the other Pavlov, but then you turned into a cat person through and through.

Xiao Tangqiu, Theres such a thing?

Really, you. You always talk about this and that on a whim, and it doesnt take long for you to forget it, so I have to help you remember, Meng Xinghe rubbed his forehead helplessly, If it wasnt for me, what would you do?

Xiao Tangqiu thought hard for a while and finally remembered that he did say that he wanted to raise two cats. But he didnt take it seriously at the time when he mentioned it. He didnt expect Meng Xinghe to remember it for him.

Then you cant leave me, stay by my side, he stuck out his tongue at Meng Xinghe, Lets go to the same university! We can go to the same company in the future! After graduation, we can rent a house together!

Meng Xinghe reached out and flicked Xiao Tangqius forehead, and said with a smile, Then you should study hard for me!

Xiao Tangqiu pouted, Ive already worked very hard! You skip class and play games as often as I do No! Its obviously you who always drag me out of class to play games, why are your grades so good all the time? Its so unfair!

Meng Xinghe pointed to his forehead, and smiled wildly, This kind of IQ is probably hereditary, right?

Xiao Tangqiu rolled his eyes and got up from the bed, Im ignoring you, Im going to the internet cafe to play games!

Didnt you just say you didnt want to go to an internet cafe? Meng Xinghe raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Tangqiu brought along the notebook, I suddenly remembered that I seem to have played this game before. Can it be that after playing the game, I mistakenly remembered that I had seen the protagonist in the game in reality, and then I subconsciously inserted the character when writing I want to go to the internet cafe to find out if this game exists.
