Entertainment: A song that brought his deceased wife back to life.

In the basement, Xu Qing looked at the computer screen.

The sound of keyboard typing echoed in the quiet room.

He created a new work in the backend of the End Literature Network.

Seven characters were entered in the book title box.

There's a small shop on the edge of the clouds.

The system suddenly appeared.

[Host, this book title is too heartwarming; it completely clashes with the depressing tone of this website.]

[Readers might assume this is a farming/settling story based on the title.]

[I suggest renaming it "The Last Day of a Terminally Ill Girl on the Edge of the Clouds."]

Xu Qing did not stop what she was doing.

"What do you know? The real source of depression is showing your best things to others first."

"Then tear it apart little by little."

He typed a preface in the introduction section.

"In that sweltering summer, the boy's back was burned with a hole by the girl's sorrow."

"It runs all the way to the heart."

"The winds of countless seasons have passed through this passage, and a firefly dances in the wind, its light flickering."

After the message was sent, the system remained silent for two seconds.

[Based on big data analysis, this statement is highly deceptive.]

[Host is luring the enemy deep into your territory.]

Xu Qing was too lazy to pay attention to this broken system that only looked at data.

He opened the first volume of the document directly.

The chapter title is: <Small Town Obsession: A Boy Who Wants to Escape>.

He set the story in a place called Cloud Edge Town.

The town is filled with the fragrance of bellflowers, and dandelions spread across the rice paddies.

The main character is named Liu Shisan.

A child born with a flawed family background.

His mother misjudged people, and after giving birth to him, his biological father embezzled his money.

After his suicide attempt failed, he went to another place and disappeared without a trace.

The father was absent from the entire event.

In the vast town of Yunbian, his only support was his maternal grandmother, Wang Yingying.

Wang Yingying guarded the "Yingying Convenience Store" at the foot of the mountain.

With his meager income, he paid Liu Shisan's tuition and accompanied him as he grew up.

Xu Qing's fingers flew across the keyboard.

He described the scene of his grandmother driving a tractor to haul goods in an extremely vivid way.

But this profound love could not fill the void in Liu Shisan's heart.

He had an almost obsessive longing for his mother.

The cassette tape and short note left by his mother before she left became his only spiritual guide.

The keyboard clicked crisply.

Xu Qing typed in the sentence that determined the first half of Liu Shisan's life.

"Don't be playful, study hard, and get into Tsinghua or Peking University."

"Go to a big city to work, find a girl who loves you to marry, and live happily ever after."

Liu Shisan engraved this sentence in his notebook.

Keep it in mind.

In his fifth-grade essay, he wrote: "I searched and searched, and found the most perfect mother. Her only flaw is that she is not by my side."

Xu Qing stopped and took a sip of cool boiled water.

This obsession with going to big cities and finding maternal love is the most deadly poison.

In the story, Liu Shisan used all his strength to escape the small town.

He was of average talent, but extremely self-disciplined.

While other children chased fireflies, he treated previewing junior high school lessons as a toy.

His grandmother drove a tractor to haul goods, and he would set up a small table in the truck bed to do his test papers.

Even his teacher, Mr. Luo, was amazed.

"I've never seen such a self-disciplined creature in my twenty years of youth."

Xu Qing portrayed Liu Shisan's clumsiness and hard work to the fullest extent.

He set a strict life plan for himself.

Three years of junior high school, three years of senior high school, and I got into Tsinghua and Peking University.

Then they headed to the big city without looking back.

Everything in Yunbian Town became a constraint in his eyes.

A sea of ​​rice paddies covering the mountains, and the smoke rising from the alleyways.

Even his grandmother's nagging and concern didn't affect him at all.

He couldn't see his grandmother saving every penny to pay for his tuition.

He never saw his grandmother secretly bringing him a bowl of hot porridge while he stayed up late studying.

And no one could see his grandmother secretly wiping away tears behind his back as he talked about big cities.

This kind of extremely lifelike description is most likely to make people feel immersed in the story.

Xu Qing's typing speed is getting faster and faster.

The story reaches a turning point in Liu Shisan's childhood.

He met a sick girl named Cheng Shuang.

The girl was arrogant and domineering, yet she carried a kind of despair that made her want to live even in the face of death.

She smiled and said to Liu Shisan, "If I survive, I'll be your girlfriend."

The brief encounter brought Liu Shisan a moment of warmth.

But this warmth did not shake his determination to escape.

His eyes were only on the distance, blind to the tenderness around him.

I also couldn't understand the love hidden in my grandmother's scolding.

After typing the last line, Xu Qing stopped.

The opening story of Volume One, "Small Town Obsession: A Boy Who Wants to Escape," ends here.

Liu Shisan longs to reach the distant places his mother describes, but he cannot see the reality that his grandmother supports for him.

Xu Qing checked for typos.

no problem.

The article was instantly synchronized to the backend of the Endless Literature Network.

The system popped up at just the right time.

[Host, there are absolutely no depressing elements in this first volume.]

[You've devoted so much space to describing the struggles of a young man from a small town; readers might think this is an inspirational novel.]

Xu Qing put her feet up on the computer desk.

"The higher you climb, the harder you fall."

"Liu Shisan will soon discover that his ten years of hard work and dedication are no match for the difference in talent."

"This is reality."

"I never write melodramatic plots that are just for the sake of being melodramatic."

"Realism is the knife that pierces the heart."

The system appears to be performing complex calculations.

Based on your concept, it certainly possesses a strong potential to cause depression.

[We suggest you update the content as soon as possible, and deliver a powerful blow to the readers while they are still expecting an inspirational twist.]

"Shut up, I'm going to sleep."

Xu Qing turned off the computer screen and stretched.

the other side.

The recording studio at Star Emperor Entertainment finally fell silent.

Luo Qianyu dragged her tired body out of the building.

It's already 10 p.m.

Sister Hong treated her like an empress dowager all day long.

The recording went extremely smoothly.

The song "Encounter" perfectly suits her vocal abilities.

One test run, two rounds of refinement, and the third run produces the final product.

The tenth and twentieth times, checking for any omissions or errors.

Even the notoriously picky music director couldn't find any fault with it.

He exclaimed that this was the most enjoyable song he had ever recorded in his career.

The van drove smoothly through the streets of Jiangcheng.

Luo Qianyu slumped in the back seat and kicked off her high heels.

Hongjie sat in the passenger seat, still chattering away about planning Mingwei's future announcements.

"Little Fish, this song will be released online first thing tomorrow morning."

"I have already contacted the homepage recommendation slots of major music platforms."

"The trending topics have been bought."

"You're about to become a huge star, so you need to be careful with your words these next few days."

"Never post random things on social media."

Luo Qianyu gave a perfunctory "hmm" twice.

She doesn't want to hear anything right now; she just wants to go home and sleep.

The car was parked downstairs in the single apartment building.

Luo Qianyu declined Hong Jie's offer to escort her upstairs.

She carried her bag and walked into the dark stairwell.

The voice-activated light is broken.

She could only climb up using the light from her phone screen.

Back in her room, she threw herself onto the hard single bed.

My stomach started growling.

I was so busy recording songs all day that I didn't even have time to eat.

She couldn't get used to the high-end supplements that Sister Hong bought.

She rolled over and picked up her phone.

Open WeChat.

Find that green, moss-covered stone head.

The dialog box is clean and tidy.

This guy hasn't sent a message all day.

Luo Qianyu tilted her head.

Little Fish: "This queen has finished recording."

Little Fish: "I'm done recording!"

Little Fish: "I'm in surprisingly good shape, even the director praised me."

Little Fish: "This song of yours is really addictive; I almost cried while singing it."

The message was sent, but there was no response.

Luo Qianyu posted another message.

Little Fish: "What are you doing? Eating instant noodles again so late at night?"

Little Fish: "Stop pretending to be dead, I know you're definitely not asleep."

Five minutes passed.

The WeChat interface remains completely silent.

Luo Qianyu kicked her legs twice on the bed in anger.

This guy is really stubborn and won't listen to either soft or hard tactics.

They're so generous when sending songs during the day, but they turn into this awful person when they send messages at night.

She exited the chat interface and opened the Zhongyan Literature Network APP.

The comment section for "Summer Trees and Elegant Paradise" is still filled with heated arguments against the author.

Luo Qianyu couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw the comments.

She refreshed the page.

I suddenly discovered that the author has added a new book to his "Emotions" column.

There's a small shop on the edge of the clouds.

Status: Just released.

Luo Qianyu instantly perked up.

She immediately clicked on the new book page.

There is only one chapter.

<Small Town Obsession: A Boy Who Wants to Escape>.

She clicked on the main text and began to read it carefully.

Twenty minutes later.

Luo Qianyu looked at the last line of text on the screen and let out a long sigh.

The writing remains as clean and concise as ever.

There are no fancy words, only simple descriptions full of life.

The scent of bellflowers, dandelions, grandma's tractor, and the shelves of the corner store.

These originally very ordinary elements become incredibly vivid under Xu Qing's pen.

She watched Liu Shisan trying so hard to escape the town.

Watching her grandmother, Wang Yingying, make silent sacrifices.

Looking at Cheng Shuang, that arrogant yet desperate girl.

Luo Qianyu felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.

She switched back to WeChat and typed quickly.

Little Fish: "I saw your new book!"

Little Fish: "Liu Shisan is so pitiful."

Little Fish: "His grandma was so good to him, why did he have to leave?"

Little Fish: "What exactly is Cheng Shuang's illness?"

Little Fish: "Could you write a happy ending this time?"

Little Fish: "Passive-aggressive behavior?"

Little Fish: "It's so quiet. I thought we'd been talking the whole time."
