Chapter 294 Dongxu. You are so kind
Su Ming was smart and had excellent academic performance since he was young, especially in literature and history. He was a good student in the eyes of his teachers. But he was not just a nerd, he also liked sports, especially basketball. He was neither tall nor short, and although his basketball skills were average, he always enjoyed it. His classmates at school liked him because he was sincere and never cared about anything.
After graduating from high school, Su Ming was admitted to the literature department of a famous university in the province. His dream was to become a writer. University life was rich and colorful. He joined the school's literary club and met a group of like-minded friends. They often discussed literary works all night and exchanged their creations. For Su Ming, this time was extremely wonderful.
When Su Ming was about to graduate from college, he met his first love, Lin Jing. Lin Jing was an art student in the school. She was kind and beautiful, with a pair of gentle eyes. Every time she looked at Su Ming, his heart was warmed. The two quickly fell in love and spent a sweet college time.
However, fate is not always gentle. After graduating from college, Su Ming and Lin Jing chose their own paths. Su Ming decided to stay in the city to pursue his literary dream; while Lin Jing returned to her hometown and became a painter. The future they once imagined became vague and distant.
Su Ming worked hard and insisted on writing every day. His first novel received some good reviews after it was published. Although the sales were average, he was not discouraged and worked harder. He met more writers and editors, participated in various literary activities, and moved towards his dream step by step.
However, life is not always as one wishes. Su Ming's parents are getting older, and their physical condition is not optimistic. Especially his father, the chronic disease he suffered in his youth began to worsen, putting their family under heavy pressure. Su Ming tried his best to find a balance between work and taking care of the family. He would go home every weekend to visit his parents, chat with them, and help them with some trivial matters.
When their parents' health began to deteriorate, Su Ming's sister, Su Wen, gave up her job in another city and returned home to take care of them. She is the backbone of the family, supporting the family both physically and financially. Su Ming is extremely grateful to his sister, as he knows that without Su Wen, the family would have been unable to survive.
As time passed, Su Ming's works gradually became well-known, and his name gained a place in the literary world. He began to be invited to participate in more literary festivals and lectures, and his works were selected into several important literary journals. His life seemed to be glamorous.
However, the stories behind are often unknown. Behind those shining lights, Su Ming is still an ordinary person with his own troubles and pains. He gradually discovered that when a person begins to be recognized by more people, his personal life becomes more lonely. The greetings from friends are just passing clouds, and he often recalls the past alone in the middle of the night.
He and Lin Jing occasionally keep in touch through social networks, but that kind of in-depth communication no longer exists. Their lives are drifting further and further apart, like two parallel lines that will never intersect again. Su Ming often thinks of that time in college, and can't help but sigh that time flies and everything has become so unpredictable.
Su Ming's father eventually died of illness, and this blow plunged the whole family into heavy grief. Each of them tried hard to get over the loss, but the regret and helplessness in their hearts were hard to erase. Su Ming cherished every moment with his family even more. He began to understand that no matter how the future changes, his family will always be his most steadfast support and support.
Su Ming is now much more mature. He is still moving forward on the road of literary creation. Behind each book is his deep love and pursuit for words. He has his own small house in the city, which is filled with his favorite books and literary trophies. He has a group of loyal readers on social media, who often give him encouragement and support.
Su Ming's sister, Su Wen, has now started a family, but she is still the person Su Ming trusts the most. Their relationship is as close as it was in childhood, and they can understand each other without words. Su Wen has her own children, and Su Ming has become their best uncle. Their laughter and mischief make him feel the warmth of life again.
Su Ming looked at the phone in his hand, feeling a little anxious. He dialed Xiao Dang's number, but heard the familiar prompt tone "Sorry, the user you dialed is turned off." This was the third time. Xiao Dang always turned off his phone or didn't answer the phone recently, which made Su Ming a little worried. They had agreed to have coffee together this afternoon to talk about the recent situation, but now it seems that this plan may be ruined.
Su Ming sighed and put down his phone. He decided to try again later and started to sort out the manuscripts on his desk. He was busy revising the first draft of his new novel these days. The editor of the publishing house had already made some revision suggestions, which he needed to complete in the shortest possible time.
Just when Su Ming was concentrating on the text, the doorbell suddenly rang. He stood up and walked to the door. When he opened it, he saw his good friend Jia Dongxu standing outside the door, holding a bottle of red wine and a steaming takeaway.
"Hey, Su Ming! Here you are!" Jia Dongxu said with a smile and a warm look on his face.
Su Ming walked forward with a smile, "Dongxu, why are you here?"
"I heard that you've been busy like a top these days, so I thought of coming to see you and help you satisfy your craving." Jia Dongxu said with a smile, putting the red wine and takeaway in his hand on the table.
Su Ming looked at him gratefully, feeling warm in his heart, "Thank you, Dongxu. You are so kind."
The two sat down, Jia Dongxu opened the red wine and poured two glasses. The takeaway was Su Ming's favorite ramen, steaming hot and exuding an enticing aroma.
"Come, have a drink and relax." Jia Dongxu handed over a glass of red wine.
Su Ming took the wine glass and clinked it with Jia Dongxu, "Thank you, Dongxu. You know I need this the most."
Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "Don't be polite. It's awkward to be polite when it comes to friendship. How's the progress of your latest novel?"
Su Ming took a sip of red wine and said with a smile, "It's OK. The editor gave a lot of suggestions for revisions. I'm busy revising the first draft. It's expected to be submitted next week."
"Oh, have you considered my suggestion?" Jia Dongxu asked while picking up ramen.
"Well, I'm considering the plot adjustment you mentioned and might give it a try." Su Ming said. He has always attached great importance to Jia Dongxu's opinions because he is a person who looks at things in a very comprehensive way.
