Chapter 62: Maggie's Gift

"..."

Lin Yuan's answer once shattered some of Huang Benyu's long-standing cognition, but he suddenly felt relieved when he thought that there was a more enchanting Gu Xi in the school.

This is a good thing.

This shows that our school is full of talents.

In fact, without Huang Benyu’s professional ears, he definitely cannot taste how mature Lin Yuan’s skills are. The students in the class can only come to a conclusion that is not bad—

Lin Yuan plays the piano very well.

However, after Lin Yuanxiu's song, Huang Benyu did not say "I am not targeting anyone, I am talking about how everyone here is", such a wide-ranging and indiscriminate attack.

In the next piano class, Huang Benyu's speech has a routine prefix:

"Except for Lin Yuan, you should remember this knowledge."

"Except for Lin Yuan, I believe no one else will understand why this is done here."

"Except for Lin Yuan, everyone should practice this piece after class, especially the last part."

"Except for Lin Yuan..."

Anyway, after a piano lesson, the six words "except for Lin Yuan" almost became Huang Benyu's mantra.

Perhaps it was hope in Huang Benyu's heart that Lin Yuan had better be the same as Gu Xi, and stopped coming to piano lessons.

He is willing to give credits!

And Lin Yuan's peaceful campus life will not change just because he showed off in piano lessons.

If there is any change, he might be more popular in the class.

Too.

Poor body, good personality, handsome, hard-working, and good at playing the piano, it is hard for someone to hate such an excellent student with a good personality.

in fact.

When Lin Yuan first transferred to the composition department, the classmates thought that Lin Yuan was very cold, but after everyone got in touch, no one felt that Lin Yuan was cold anymore——

Little talk and high coldness are two concepts. This boy just doesn't like to talk.

The next day.

As always, Lin Yuan didn't like to talk and studied hard as always. His professional class scores have completely kept up with the progress, and he is no longer affected by the sudden transfer of sophomore.

In such a calm day, March came unconsciously.

At this time when it is still cold, the weather in March is still cold, making people want to get out of the bed easily.

At this time the taste of the year faded away.

The latest issue of "Net King" is still selling well.

Also released on March 1st, there are also those published in the "Fun" magazine, and Chu Kuang's new works-

The short story "The Maggie's Gift".

On this day, Lin Yuan also received several sets of sample journals from Yinlan Library for free.

A sample journal is defined as a newspaper that publishes the author’s work and the newspaper editorial department provides the author free of charge, and providing the sample journal is an obligation of the newspaper to the author.

Get the sample issue of "Interesting Reading".

Lin Yuan saw that "The Gift of Maggie" was placed in the most conspicuous propaganda position on the cover of the magazine.

This represents the importance the editors place on this story.

However, the publicity effect of "Chu Kuang's New Works" is actually not great, because users who like to buy "Fun Reading" magazine do not overlap much with those who like youth fantasy novels.

After all, Chu Kuang became famous for his youth fantasy novels.

If you are not cold about youth fantasy novels, some buyers of "Interesting Reading" don't even know who Chu Kuang is, but many people will look forward to the story of the cover promotion after seeing the cover promotion.

...

Han Jimei is the operation officer of tribal literature, that is, the person in charge of the tribal literature section. Her future goal and task is to build the tribal literature section into a fragmented reading and leisure base for users to generate habits.

As a woman who loves reading, she likes her job very much and has the habit of subscribing to some magazines every month.

Qinzhou's best-selling magazines are of high quality.

There are always many excellent short stories on it.

It's not that Han Jimei doesn't like long stories. It's just that for a busy professional woman like her, the time required to read long stories is really extravagant. Short stories do not take too much time because of their short length.

Today is the beginning of March.

All kinds of books have new days, so this month’s magazine Han Jimei has bought six copies, but the first issue that caught her attention was the latest issue of the best-selling magazine "Fun Reading".

It's not how she likes "Interesting Reading".

It is because the cover of this magazine is actually promoting Chu Kuang's new work.

You know that Chu Kuang wrote a short story in tribal literature last month with very good response.

The story called "Artificial Beauty" is really cleverly conceived, and it is a rare masterpiece.

Han Jimei was still expecting Chu Kuang to write some new short stories in the tribe's literary section. Unexpectedly, Chu Kuang has now completely shifted his position and ran into the "Interesting Reading" series.

"Look at what you wrote this time."

Although it was a pity in my heart that Chu Kuang did not continue to choose the tribe as the release platform, Han Jimei was still curious about what Chu Kuang wrote in this new work.

Go straight to the first few short stories.

Han Jimei first watch "The Maggie's Gift".

Many people may not understand the meaning of "maggie's gift" and thought that the protagonist of the story would be called Maggie, but Han Jimei, as a reader with high reading volume, knows that the protagonist of the story is mostly not called Maggie——

This is related to Wei Zhou's Christmas legend.

Qinzhou also has Christmas, but Christmas is not a mainstream holiday in Qinzhou, and there is even no holiday. Qinzhou people are more just happy about this holiday.

Wei Zhou is different.

They have the habit of having Christmas, and many people believe in Christ. Legend has it that when Jesus was born, three wise men sent gifts. Since then, the custom of giving gifts to each other at Christmas has been established——

This should be the origin of the title.

At this time, Han Jimei began to read: "Tomorrow is Christmas, Mrs. A has only three eight cents to buy a gift for her husband. It is obvious that she saves a few months and saves everything she can save, but only This point.

It was called Mrs. A?

Chu Kuang's name was too lazy.

Han Jimei complained inwardly, but understood the first paragraph of the story.

This is a woman in distress. She is counting the few change in her hands over and over again, worrying about what gift to give her husband tomorrow Christmas.

The background of the story should be many years ago.

At that time the value of currency was still very high.

But obviously three bucks is not much.

[She suddenly turned around from the window, stood in front of the wall mirror and looked at herself inside. At this time, her eyes were sparkling and bright, but her face turned pale within twenty seconds.She quickly untied her hair and let it fall.

What is she going to do?

Han Jimei guessed Mrs. A's intentions.

With a wealth of reading experience, she even made some exaggerated associations. For example, Mrs. A sold her body in exchange for money, and the first customer she met was her husband.

It's not that Han Jimei is unhealthy.

In some special ages, it is not uncommon for someone to sell their bodies for the sake of life. Chu Kuang may want to restore the cruel side of that era, but if it is just for Christmas gifts...

Is the reason too far-fetched?
