Chapter fifty-six torn

  Although Fang Tao is not old, he has his own opinions on science fiction novels. There are many types and directions of science fiction novels. They not only need to show readers the bizarre future world, but also need to pursue the future and the universe.
So.
Fang Tao also likes novels like "One Day" that explore less about the future and the universe and more about human nature.
 But he does not want novels like "One Day" to become the mainstream of "Science Fiction World", otherwise the science fiction world will soon lose its characteristics and then fade away from the color of science fiction.
 In fact, after reading "One Day", Fang Tao also thought of another book in his mind, namely "Cat City" by Lao She. Although the two novels are about different things, they are similar in genre.
Maybe the science fiction shell of "Cat City" is thicker.
 The magazine put the word "one day" in such a big word, is it sending some kind of signal? Or is there some policy from above that science fiction will be hit, and the magazine has no choice but to change its course?
 Many questions were swirling in Fang Tao's mind, which made him no longer interested in reading other novels of the same period.
 “Brother Tao, how do you feel?”
When Fang Tao was in a daze, Zhu Fu came over from behind and patted him on the shoulder.
Seeing Zhu Fuxian's smiling face, Fang Tao temporarily put aside the questions in his mind and teased Zhu Fuxian: "I asked you, the second-to-last pick, why are you so anxious? Li Xiang, who is ranked second, hasn't come yet.
Urgent."
Zhu Fuxian's face straightened up, "Brother Tao, what you said is wrong, I just waited until I was in the queue. Each of you has been delayed a little, and I don't know how long it will take to get here. I don't think there is any need to rush, anyway.
The rest of us are behind him."
 Not to mention, what Zhu Fu said first makes sense.
This time is indeed different. There are more people in line than usual, and those at the back have to wait in line for a long time.
 After thinking for a while, Fang Tao said, "Don't worry, don't go home after school in the evening, I'll let you all see."
"real?"
"real."
 …
In the evening, seven students sat in a row on the edge of the playground.
 “Brother Tao, are you really tearing it apart?”
 “Tear.”
 “How about we buy another copy.”
 “Are you rich? Don’t want to buy the next issue of “Flower City”? Don’t want to buy “October”? Tear it up.”
Zhu Fu gritted his teeth first, closed his eyes and exerted force on his hands.
 Tear——
 "Science Fiction World" was torn apart.
 This is the method that Fang Tao came up with, breaking it into parts so that everyone can see it together.
He held the intact book cover, looked at the other people who were busy reading, and then looked up at the western sky. The glow from the clouds shone on the big trees above their heads, and the leaves that had turned yellow were dizzy.
A layer of crimson.
A breeze blows, and the leaves are picked off the branches, and then fluttering to the ground, landing at their feet.
 …
Yu Dong also bought a copy of "Science Fiction World".
He originally thought that the magazine could send the sample issue in advance, but when the magazine entered the bookstall, he didn't see the sample issue.
The current cover of "Science Fiction World" is very tacky, at least in Yu Dong's opinion. The background color is white, and then there are two tacky pictures in the upper left corner and the lower quarter of the page, with a blank space in the middle.
Write the time, the title of the work, and one line: "This journal won the World Science Fiction Association's Best Science Fiction Journal Award."
 The font size of "One Day" is the largest, and several other articles such as "The Iron-Blooded Man", "Aliens Invite Me" and "Planet Bus" all have smaller font sizes.
However, people's feelings are obviously different. When Yu Dong went to the bookstall, two children happened to be there. They saw the cover of "Science Fiction World" and exclaimed how cool it was.
 “This big windmill also has a spaceship on it.”
“This is an alien radar!”
 “This man has wings, he looks so weird.”
 “Do aliens look like this? They are all green!”
These two children were only thirteen or fourteen years old, probably still in junior high school. They had never seen "Science Fiction World" before. Although the cover attracted their attention, they still did not buy a copy after discussing it for a while.
.
Yu Dong returned to school after buying books, and met Cheng Yanqiu at the door.
She was walking out on a bicycle. She didn't say anything after seeing Yu Dong. She just nodded to him, glanced at the magazine in Yu Dong's hand, and continued walking forward.
Yu Dong turned his head and looked at Cheng Yanqiu's back. Cheng Yanqiu was dressed very conservatively today, a black business suit, which was very different from his usual temperament.
 Actually, although there was not much communication during these few contacts, Cheng Yanqiu has overturned Yu Dong's previous impression of her.
Yu Dong’s previous impressions came from hearsay. They said he had a fierce personality, bold style, and arrogance. But now it seems that there is nothing except a cold personality, let alone a fierce personality.
Perhaps she is a bit unique and has poor interpersonal relationships, which is why she has attracted such criticism.
 Shaked his head secretly. He was not familiar with Cheng Yanqiu, so naturally he couldn't control much.
However, when he turned around, he saw Uncle Zhou standing at the door and looking at him with a smile.
 “Uncle Zhou, have you eaten?”
"I've eaten." Uncle Zhou nodded and said with a smile, "Do you think I have your letter today?"
Yu Dong curled his lips, the old man didn't look like a serious person this week.
He didn't guess anymore and went directly to the communication room to search. Sure enough, he found a letter, which was sent by Jiang Cheng.
 “Thank you.”
 After taking the letter, Yu Dong ran away. Old man Zhou loved gossip, and he didn't want to give the old man a chance to gossip.
 After returning to the dormitory, Yu Dong opened the letter first. During this period, he had actually been waiting for the veteran's letter, because it had been too long since he last sent a letter.
If he still can't wait for the veteran's letter, Yu Dong will write another letter.
In this letter, the veteran apologized first, saying that something happened recently and he had no time to reply to Yu Dong, but he also reassured Yu Dong that the matter has been resolved now.
He then apologized a second time, because Yu Dong had revealed a lot to him, but he couldn't tell Yu Dong what exactly happened to him, and he felt very sorry for this.
 After apologizing twice, he mentioned Yu Dong’s science fiction novel and expressed that he was very interested in it and very happy for Yu Dong. He said he would definitely read it and would include his thoughts after reading it in his next letter.
There wasn't much in the letter, but Yu Dong felt relieved after seeing the letter.
 He put the letter away, and then wrote a reply to the veteran, so that he didn't have to feel sorry, and that there was no need to make an equal exchange for talking about this kind of thing.
 In fact, Yu Dong has always had a doubt in his heart, that is, why the veteran suddenly disappeared later, and whether something happened.
Chapter completed!
