Chapter 38 Chicken Soup
No wonder so many people miss their youth.

"Let me tell you, just when we looked at each other just now, that feeling..." Fan Xiaotian wanted to find a word to describe it, but couldn't find an accurate one.

“When your eyes meet, it feels like time has stopped, right?” Seeing that he was at a loss for words, Gu Lu helped to fill in the blanks.

"Yes, yes, yes. As expected of someone who won an essay award and still writes stories at a story club, the description is very good." Fan Xiaotian praised.

drop--

When Gu Lu was caught off guard, the golden finger was triggered again.

[Edogawa Ranpo Award] [Detective Death] [First Place in Weekly Bunshun’s Mystery Annual Ranking] Three labels appeared in Gu Lu’s mind.

"My God, who can tell the difference between you and Einstein?" Gu Lu couldn't help but praise Fan Xiaotian.

"?" Fan Xiaotian was confused. Was he praising him?

"There is still some gap between me and Einstein." Fan Xiaotian is still quite humble.

However, Gu Lu has entered the stage of thinking. The golden finger is divided into item sequence and quotation sequence, so what did Fan Xiaotian say just now?

It won the Ranpo Award and was ranked first on the annual list, proving that it has both good reputation and sales.

"A mystery novel about the death of a detective? Suspect X... No, the detective here is Yukawa Manabu, but he's not dead." Gu Lu was searching for the work in his mind.

When it comes to detective death, he only thinks of "Curtain" and "The Final Problem", but both Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle exist in this world, and you can tell it's Japanese mystery by looking at the label.

"I remember there was a book called 'The Detective Dies Right When He Arrives', but the novel seemed to be very bad and it didn't even win the Ranpo Prize."

Although a long mystery novel can be directly submitted to "Years of Reasoning" for serialization, or even published as a book... Of course, if the book is not famous, it will not sell.

Unable to figure out the reason, Gu Lu decided to focus on the "Little Prince".

Accompanying him to the grove at noon didn't waste much time. Gu Lu decided to go to the fat boss's place and finish writing the last thousand words for the story club.

Fan Xiaotian was waiting for him beside him, reading a story...but he had been reading this book over and over again for a long time.

Gu Lu directly sent the file package to Mu Ziqi. After all, he had the special treatment of passing the preliminary review directly.

During the afternoon physical education class, the whole class went out except Gu Lu, and the interview took place in the classroom.

"Gu Lu, this is reporter Wang from the Young Pioneers." Teacher Li introduced.

Reporter Wang was in his prime, wearing a black striped short-sleeved shirt, a dark jacket, and a camera hanging on his chest. His skin was a bit dark, probably because he often went out to interview.

"Hello, Gu Lu. I have also read "The Sounding Shadow." Reporter Wang greeted him and looked at the young student.

A little thinner than expected, but calmer than the average child. Pioneer has interviewed many students, and no matter what their family background is, they are all quite nervous.

Gu Lu's face also looked a little nervous, but overall he was calm.

"It's really well written, and it mentions a lot of ancient classics. Student Gu Lu, you must have read a lot of extracurricular books." Reporter Wang's tone was gentle, which was different from his appearance, and he started to ask questions based on the other party's work.

"I prefer reading." Gu Lu was comforted by the reporter's friendliness.

"Then please recommend two books to us," said reporter Wang.

"First of all, Mr. Lu Xun's "Miscellaneous Essays from Qie Jie Ting" and Mr. Ba Jin's "Random Thoughts" are also good." Gu Lu said that these two books are not necessarily his favorites, but they are the two books that popped into his mind the fastest when he answered.

"Do you usually read foreign works?" Reporter Wang asked. "For foreign works, I like to read "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". In addition, Teacher Li would lend me many books to read. I was also impressed by "The Poems of Gibran". Gu Lu did not forget to mention the teacher who took good care of him. As for Sherlock Holmes, it was to pave the way for the upcoming mystery novel.

Gu Lu is really paving the way for himself all the time.

"Will Teacher Li take the initiative to cultivate students' interest in reading?" asked reporter Wang.

It is an honor for students to have their work published in the Young Pioneers Daily, and for teachers, it is not only an honor but also a boost to their performance!
"Gu Lu has always written good essays, and he even won a prize in our district's essay competition." Teacher Li suppressed his joy and said, "To write good essays, you must have a good accumulation, so I encourage him to read more books in his spare time."

"A good teacher can really guide students." Reporter Wang nodded.

"I remember the philosopher Jaspers said: The essence of education is one tree shaking another tree, one cloud pushing another cloud, and one soul calling another soul. I think Teacher Li is undoubtedly such a good teacher." Gu Lu spared no effort in praising people.

Teacher Li blushed, and he felt that he was not that good...

The interview lasted about half an hour when classmates were peeking furtively outside the window.

The last ten minutes of physical education class is free time.

"Juanzi, look, that man is the reporter, right?" Chen Na said in a low voice.

"That should be it." Zhao Juan nodded.

Don’t be surprised why Chen Na and Zhao Juan are basically inseparable. It was like this in junior high and high school. The girls had a good relationship and would even go to the bathroom together.

"Shall we move closer too?" Chen Na was very curious, mainly because a few naughty boys in the class had already come over.

Zhao Juan hesitated for a moment and then moved over.

The interview was almost over, and reporter Wang asked a final question, "Student Gu Lu, if you were asked to summarize the greatest advantage of your success, what would you think it was?"

Something is wrong!

But he couldn't tell the truth. Gu Lu knew that if he didn't know what to say, he could just give some chicken soup.

"I think it's a sense of belief," said Gu Lu.

"Focus on your goal and the whole world will make way for you." Gu Lu said, "I believe that every day that I don't dance is a waste of life!"

Reporter Wang sensed the vigor in the words and asked, "So what is your goal, classmates?"

"Become a writer." said Gu Lu.

Why didn't he expose himself by publishing a novel in Story Club? Because he wasn't successful enough yet, he wanted to make a big splash!
"So, future writers," reporter Wang took out a business card, "if you publish a book, call me and I'll come interview you then."

"It's a word."

Gu Lu accepted it. "The Little Prince" is a fairy tale book, and the readers of "Young Pioneers" are exactly primary and secondary school students. If it can really help promote it, it will definitely be a great benefit.

Reporter Wang smiled and said that he was like this when he was in school, wanting to be a high-ranking official. What a pity.

He also didn't think that Gu Lu was just talking nonsense, and that students should have the courage to move forward.

Besides, reporter Wang could feel that this student had read a lot of books. The sentence just now seemed to be said by Nietzsche, right?

The interview ended here, and reporter Wang took a final photo of Gu Lu.
