Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 310: Long Chuan Che's Tour

The Prix Goncourt is a prestigious literary award in France.

Although the prize money is not much, since 1903, many classic works have been introduced to the world through this award.

Longchuan Che remembered Marcel Proust's "Beside the Girls Who Dressed in Flowers", Malraux's "The Human Condition", Simone de Beauvoir's "The Man of Flowers" and Duras's "The Lover".

These works not only caused a sensation in France, but also had a large number of readers around the world.

“Patrick Modiano?”

Longchuan Che was not familiar with modern foreign literary authors, and he couldn't remember this person after thinking for a long time.

"Then I'll leave first?"

Longchuan Che has to go to Paris first, and the eldest lady will stay here for a while.

The girl took the old man's business card, thought about it and decided to stand up and see Longchuan Che off.

Although they are competitors, Natsuko Imamura is still very polite most of the time.

White clouds were crawling along the horizon, and flowers were blooming among the weeds on the roadside.

Travelers taking photos at the foot of the mountain changed one after another.

Standing next to the road.

"You really want to stay here alone?"

Longchuan Che looked at the stone house on the top of the mountain, then looked at the frail girl in front of him.

The girl's soft black hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and she also made a wreath for herself on the way down the mountain.

The floral dress with a wreath on it also looks fresh.

"It's quite gentlemanly at this time."

Natsuko Imamura made a little gesture with her thumb and index finger, then said with a smile.

"I'm going to finish my new book here, and then if all goes well I'll enter some European literary awards."

Worldwide, European literary awards always have the greatest influence.

Here is Shakespeare who wrote the sonnets and Lev Nikolayevich who shouted war and peace.

Even though Ryukawa Toru deeply loves Eastern culture, he has to admit that Western literature has a greater influence in this era.

"'Hills and Pale Shadows'?"

Longchuan Che was a little curious. The eldest lady was writing this recently.

"uh-huh."

The eldest lady shrugged with some relief. This book might be her last chance to resist marrying Longchuan Tetsu.

Longchuan Che wanted to say "good luck" but it was too ironic to say that to an enemy.

"What is this book about?"

Ryukawa Toru was a little curious. He glanced at the manuscript of the book a few times and only knew that it told the story of a Japanese mother and daughter who immigrated to the UK.

It has a touch of suspense and also contains criticism of war.

It is a subject that is very popular internationally.

“The inspiration comes from Barash’s The Poetics of Space, but what I want to tell is a story about a memory becoming an illusion, trapping people in reality.”

The eldest lady saw that Longchuan Che didn't talk much, thought for a while and took out the business card she had just received.

“Patrick Modiano is considered the most likely candidate to win the next Nobel Prize in Literature, and he has been seen at many literary events in Europe.”

The eldest lady wrote a phone number on the back of the business card and then put it into Longchuan Tetsu's shirt pocket.

The boy was wearing a white shirt, the collar of which was washed to a shine.

In the eyes of people walking on the street, the two people of the same age seem to be a good match, but
"If you have the guts, join me in participating in the literary award here."

It is very difficult for an Oriental to win a Western literary award, and many people even choose Western nationality.

Leaving aside the question of whether there is a boundary between the East and the West in literature, Longchuan Che raised his eyebrows as he looked at the phone number behind the business card.

"what is this?"

A string of 11 digits, the number starts with 070.

"My phone."

The eldest lady put the wreath on her head on Longchuan Che's forehead, patted Longchuan Che's shoulder and smiled teasingly.

"If your cell phone runs out of battery, you can call me from a public telephone booth on the roadside."

Long Chuan Che remembered this 11-digit phone number in a blink of an eye. When he wanted to return the business card to the other party, the girl had already run away. The white clouds in the sky were scattered by the warm summer breeze, and the girl's skirt disappeared in the stone forest.

"The young wife has issued a challenge?"

Longchuan Che tilted his head, thought for a while, and put away the business card given by the other party.

To become a world-wide best-selling author, one might need a well-known foreign award, but Ryukawa Toru has other things to do now.

From Gordes to Marseille Airport.

Then take the plane at 1:10.

When the plane landed at the Paris airport, Longchuan Che's mood suddenly became a little strange.

Ryukawa Toru had already anticipated what kind of woman Takeda Maki was.

She may be beautiful, but she is definitely not gentle.

He couldn't be as considerate and caring as his wife, and even when they were together, he felt the danger of losing control at any time.

A woman who is too smart is dangerous.

"If she knew I was going back to the Kujo family for a while, she wouldn't try to kill me, would she?"

The wife would say pitifully, "Master, don't go," and Takeda Shinki might sink him into the Seine, which is very cold even in summer.

The Kujo family played a destroyer role in the history of the Takeda family. Sitting in the seat of the Boeing 747, Ryukawa Toru's expression became a little strange.

As we came out of the Paris terminal, fine raindrops began to fall from the sky.

The guiding lights on the runway looked a little hazy, and the romantic streets were dyed a warm golden color by the lights.

Ryukawa Toru withdrew money at the airport and went to a suit shop on the street.

I chose a light blue suit. The moon in the rainy night was a little hazy.

"Going on a date? Guest."

The French girl in the shop was adjusting Ryukawa Toru's collar. If Takeda Maki was there, she would probably look at him coldly.

"To see the boss."

Longchuan Che took out a white rose covered with raindrops from the flower basket in the shop.

The rose color is cool and refreshing, with two wet raindrops on it.

"boss?"

The clerk helped Longchuan Tetsu to tidy up his shoulder corners. The handsome boy in front of him made people feel very favorable.

"You don't need to dress like this to meet your boss."

Longchuan Che has narrow eyes, but his lips are a bit red.

Wearing a suit, he interpreted the word "elegant" very well, and shrugged at the joking clerk Longchuan Che.

"Not only is she my boss, she's also my ex-girlfriend."

The combination of the boss and the ex-girlfriend is a terrible disaster. Looking at the graceful young man, the clerk patted his shoulder with pity.

Come out of the clothing store.

Longchuan Che suddenly hesitated.

He didn't know what the executive was thinking now, and he didn't know whether a woman with a strong personality was willing to stay by his side.

He stood on the streets of Paris in a daze, because he was indeed not a gentleman, and it was hard to say that he was a gentle person.

"Why do I think that?"

Ryukawa Toru was shocked because he was looking at the problem from Takeda Maki's perspective.

After hesitating for three or five seconds, Longchuan Che figured out the answer.

Someone in an expensive dress was running through the streets of Paris.

She saw that she was a little surprised, and then turned into dissatisfaction and glared at herself fiercely.

Summer is short and passionate, the days are long but blazing like flags.

Longchuan Che took out the scarf from his chest and wiped the sweat off the woman's forehead.

The executive looked a little unseemly, and Longchuan Che raised his eyebrows.

"Is there a dog chasing you?"

Longchuan Che's smile was evil, and the corners of the woman's eyes suddenly changed like a dream, stirring up a circle of brilliance.
