Miwu was invited to become a judge of the "Creative Elements" Literature Competition when she was slightly drunk. To be honest, she did not like this kind of work at all, but the organizer of the Creative Elements Competition, Mingqian Culture Media Co., Ltd., is her boss. Her two novels and essays were all organized by Mingqian Company. The company's literary director A Yue is also her good friend.

Miwu is twenty-seven years old. She is a professional writer who lives a good life. She writes one or two books carefully every year. It is best to sell the copyright if she can sell it, but it doesn’t matter if she can’t sell it. With royalties and the royalties for writing columns for magazines, she can already live a good life. Although she is not a big-name author, she has a gentle temper, beautiful appearance, and warm and relaxed writing style, which is very popular among modern urban female white-collar readers. If she wasn’t a person who likes to promote herself, her value would probably be much higher than she is now.

Although he was deceived and promised to be a judge, Miwu felt that it was troublesome to read a lot of novels every day, which was contrary to her original intention of living a leisurely life. However, Miwu was still very serious about reading manuscripts, and she couldn't move for more than two hours a day. She held her tablet to read submissions. Not only did she score according to the rules, but she occasionally saw Liexinxi and wrote some comments.

That morning, I got up at around 7 o'clock, did yoga warm-up, had breakfast, and took a shower, Miwu sat in the living room. She lived alone, so when she was working, she would turn on the TV and put it there without watching, just for the noise in the room. Otherwise, it would be too lonely.

There are twenty more articles in the email address that passed the preliminary selection yesterday. The rough selection is really very rough. Miwu originally heard that there was a rough selection process, and he thought it was a pre-order link like gold digging, mixing gold chips and fine sand into his hands to conduct the final selection. Unexpectedly, the rough selection process was to pile baskets of ore in front of them, and remove only stubborn stones that obviously have nothing. When washing gold sand? Most of the time, it would be great to pick out some beautiful stones.

However, Miwu was not angry about this situation. Although she was talented, she also came step by step from a new author, knowing that these were the only way for an author to grow.

However, there was a manuscript in the email address today, and the editor of the rough selection process actually wrote annotations.

"The plot is dark, but the reading experience is excellent. After reading the complete article, I passed the entire selection group and agreed that the level is quite good."

This is the first time I have commented like this.

Miwu opened the email attachment. The title of the novel is: "Eight Minutes of Warmth"

"Have you heard of it? If the sun is extinguishing at this moment, it will take eight minutes for people on Earth to know.

The eight minutes after the sun extinguished its light was actually as warm as usual.

No one will notice its illusion.

One day, everything will become the past.

Turning around and looking back, the distance between each other in the opposite direction is so long. But there is no longer any intense emotion in my heart. I just use gentle words to describe sadness and look at the past with warm eyes. I wanton youth accompanied by sweet sorrow, humming gently in the corner of my heart.

Can you still remember when did you start saying that in your heart?

——Hey, I like you.”

After reading the novel, Mi Wu seemed to have been flowing through the entire body. The emotional perception of female authors often needs to be much more delicate than that of ordinary people. Only in this way can they capture various tiny emotions, brew, precipitate, ferment and eventually transform into detailed texts. They are often the ones who pursue the most detailed and accurate text in their text statements. Male authors like to show off, like to burn and passion, like to be magnificent, while female authors are a little alienated from these. If male authors are like architects, engineers, and what they write are like palaces, temples and museums, then female authors are like gardeners, creating exquisite structures that change scenery.

When Mi Wu saw this passage, he immediately realized the author's foundation. Knowing the characteristics of the essay, the beginning created suspense and captured the readers. The words were simple but the amount of information was connected enough. The concept of "eight minutes of warmth" suddenly made Mi Wu enter the scene of reading novels.

"Eight Minutes of Warmth" is a campus story. Gu Xiye and Yan Ze grew up in the same family. Gu Xiye is a child adopted by Yan Ze's family. But Gu Xiye is almost perfect in terms of appearance, figure, academic performance, and dealing with people, which makes Yan Ze extremely jealous. Yan Ze and Ji Xiao are in love, but all the girls' recognized prince charming He Xinliang always chases Yan Ze, completely ignoring Gu Xiye's favor and pursuit of him. However, in the novel, the emotional line is only part of the incident, just some trigger points.

The most fatal and important relationship is that when Yan Ze was jealous of Gu Xiye, Gu Xiye was also jealous of Yan Ze. Gu Xiye was at home. Although everyone was undoubtedly a family, he could only call Yan Ze's parents "uncle and aunt". His favor and actions towards He Xinliang were rejected or ignored again and again. Yan Ze and Gu Xiye were intimate on the surface, but the gap in private became bigger and bigger, until both parties turned to darkness... A story of a girl jealousy and tearing each other has a sense of reality in any era. But in "Eight Minutes of Warmth", it is at the end that it will endanger life.

The novel was written by Xia Mingyou. It was originally a long story with more than 100,000 words. However, there are many parts on campus. Although the experience is delicate, it dilutes part of the confrontation. However, this version written by Yue Qingyan inherits the main line, focusing on the story of turning from intimacy to conflicts, and clearly writes the contradictions, inner and mutual jealousy parts, and the others just pass by quickly. In the original work, Gu Xiye and Yan Ze are still in conflict, but Yue Qingyan makes them turn black without hesitation, but in the end, whether the small trap that harms people succeeded? He did not write it, but put it in that moment to give an open end.

“That’s probably that.

Every time I feel happy, my heart is filled with panic.

To ignore this anxiety, smile harder.”

After reading this, the novel stopped, and the judge Mi Wu felt like there were many little hands scratching his heart: What was wrong? Did anyone die if something happened? What would happen to these two good girls who obviously liked and envied each other but hurt each other?

After reading many essay submissions, no author can make her feel like this. An author of this level needs to participate in the essay contest? Miwu even felt that this guy's story design ability is not worse than that of himself. She sent the manuscript directly to the printer, typed a paper version and read it again, and then poured herself a glass of water without any satisfaction, ready to score and write a comment.

Then, she opened the second attachment to the email: Author information registration.

Then I saw, gender: male.

Mi Wu sprayed out her tea directly? The pen name "Xia Li" is very female. Although it looks like a neutral pseudonym, the subtle texture contained in it is indeed very feminine. But this author is really a man? It's okay to have a touch of writing, but the grasp of girls' psychology is really very accurate and meticulous. Could it be a sissy? That can explain some problems...

Mi Wu couldn't stand the train running in his mind and began to indulge in imagination why this situation happened.

At this moment, another judge of the competition, young male author Du Xiao, sent a WeChat message.

"Have you read the manuscript today? There is a super amazing newcomer."

Mi Wu immediately replied: "So do it here."

The manuscripts read by each judge are different, but with good manuscripts, everyone will communicate with each other.

"Print it out, bring it out. Are you looking for a place to drink coffee?" Unlike Mi Wu, Du Xiao is a person who can't read books on the computer screen. His reading is basically paper or e-books. He writes the manuscripts by hand and then enters them into the computer. When he reads the manuscripts, he prints them out and starts reading them, and makes various annotations on the manuscripts.

"Okay. Old place."

"See you in the afternoon. Do you want to call someone else?"

"You can do it."

The two often made an appointment like this. Du Xiao had thought about pursuing Miwu before, but later gave up completely. Perhaps because he felt that the two authors could not live together. But the two became good friends and often communicated with various things in reading, writing and life.

Miwu brought the printout, changed his clothes a little and prepared to go out. He had a meal and happened to go to the cafe.

The cafe they often gather is called "Youlian", which is in Xintiandi. It was opened by Leehom and Ashin. It is a place with a strong literary atmosphere and the quality of food and drink is good. When Miwu arrived at the cafe, Du Xiao had arrived. He was holding a notebook and writing and drawing with a pencil. He was probably preparing for a new book again.

"Where is the manuscript?" Mi Wu took out the printed manuscript of "Eight Minutes of Warmth" from his bag and placed it on the table.

Du Xiao handed the copy he printed out to Mi Wu. "It's so amazing. A science fiction novel is very small, but the pattern is really big."

Miwu sat down, took a coffee and started to read slowly.

The name of the novel is "The Story of Your Life", which tells the story of the communication between a linguist Louis Banks and an alien creature's seven-limb barrel. The seven-limb barrel's spacecraft came to the earth and was distributed in major cities, causing great panic among humans. Everyone was trying to communicate with the seven-limb barrel, knowing the other party's purpose, and seeking a peaceful solution. In this process, Louis Banks gradually mastered the language of the seven-limb barrel. The seven-limb barrel's language is a graphical language with extremely complex mathematical principles and mechanisms. As he gradually mastered it, Louis also discovered this

The uniqueness of a language. The seven-limb bucket text is quite similar to the Chinese hieroglyphics. The difference is that the seven-limb bucket does not rely on words with independent meaning to express meaning, but also unifies all the semantic meanings that need to be expressed in one character. The more complex the semantic meaning is, the more complex the word is. Behind the seven-limb bucket language is an extremely unique way of perceiving the world: humans perceive the world in order of front and back, and understand the relationship between various events as cause and effect; while the "seven-limb bucket" perceives all events at the same time, you can see both the "cause" and the "fruit" first.

The protagonist can also use this language to see through his own life, other people's lives, and even all things, and begin to perceive the world in a unique way and communicate with his unborn daughter. The most powerful thing about this short film novel is that some parts are written in the second person. And any author can understand the difficulty...

Seeing Mi Wu finish reading, a look of shock appeared on his face, Du Xiao put down the manuscript in his hand. He had been reading "Eight Minutes of Warmth" for a while.

"Look at the author's information." Du Xiao said in disbelief.

Mi Wu saw the name she saw in the morning: Yue Qingyan.

The two works that shocked the two authors, or works with completely different tones, actually came from the same author.

"Isn't this an old friend in the circle playing with us?" asked Mi Wu.

"It shouldn't be. The completion of these two works is too high and the quality is too good. And Yue Qingyan has never heard of this before. The old man in the circle cannot use such a high-performing work even if he wants to play it, otherwise he will not be able to explain it clearly." Du Xiao thought for a while and said, "But this quality is so surprising."

"Anything unexpectedly, both articles can win awards." Mi Wu said: "The awards are evaluated according to the work, not the author."

"And there will be no controversy. This strength is simply crushing." Du Xiao smiled bitterly: "This is a difficult problem. Although this situation is not prohibited, the Ming Dynasty will not appreciate this situation, right?"

"Absolute..." Mi Wu: "We need to verify his identity. If this level is plagiarism or something, it will be a big problem."

"Ask him out?" Du Xiao nodded and agreed with Mi Wu's idea.

Mi Wu nodded. Since he had to make such an appointment, Du Xiao also made an appointment with A Yue from Mingqian Company. A Yue had also read two articles by Yue Qingyan. To be honest, the literary literacy of the rough selection group is indeed far inferior to the judges. But they were not bad at all by such good works. Moreover, after reading countless garbage works, two such high-quality articles suddenly came out, which was impossible to make a sensation within their company.

Any author or editor always has a limited number of readings, and too many things are impossible to read. Sometimes the publishing industry says that plagiarism is what the editor does and why he didn't find out in advance, but it was actually wrong. How could the editor read all the books? There are more than 100,000 publications a year in the country, and at the normal reading speed of a person, it is considered diligent to read a hundred books. There are also various online reading platforms and jokes circulating on social networks. What a person can involve is really limited.
