Chapter 62 Maggie's Gift

Chapter 62 Maggie's Gift

"..."

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

This is a good thing.

This shows that our school is full of talents.

In fact, without Huang Benyu's professional ears, it is absolutely impossible to appreciate how mature Lin Yuan's skills are. The students in the class can only come to a pretty good conclusion——

Lin Yuan is very good at playing the piano.

However, after Lin Yuanxiu played a song, Huang Benyu did not say "I'm not targeting anyone, I'm talking about everyone present here" such a large-scale and indiscriminate attack.

In the following piano class, Huang Benyu's speech had a routine prefix:

"Except for Lin Yuan, you all have to memorize this knowledge point."

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

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

"Except for classmate Lin Yuan..."

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

Probably in Huang Benyu's heart, he hoped that Lin Yuan, like Gu Xi, would not come to piano lessons.

He is willing to give credits!

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

If there is any change, it is probably that he is more popular in the class.

Too.

Poor health, good personality, handsome, hard-working, and good at playing the piano, such an excellent and good-natured student is hard to be hated.

actually.

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

Talking less and being cold are two concepts. This boy just doesn't like to talk.

the following days.

As always, Lin Yuan didn't like to talk, and he also studied hard as always. His grades in professional courses have completely caught up with the progress, and he is no longer affected by the sudden transfer of majors in his sophomore year.

And in such a peaceful day, March came unknowingly.

In this warm and cold time, the weather in March is still so cold that people don't want to get out of bed easily.

At this time, the taste of the year is fading.

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

It was also released on March 1st, and it was also published in "Fun" magazine, as well as Chu Kuang's new work——

The short story "The Gift of the Magi".

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

Definition Samples are the newspapers and periodicals that the editorial department of newspapers and periodicals provide free of charge to authors after the author's works are published, and providing samples is the obligation of newspapers and periodicals to authors.

Get the sample issue of "Fun Reading".

Lin Yuan saw that "Maggie's Gift" was placed on the most prominent promotional position on the cover of the magazine, and the four characters "Chu Kuang's new work" came into view at once.

This represents the importance the editors place on the story.

However, the publicity effect of "Chu Kuang's New Work" is actually not great, because the users who like to buy "Fun Reading" magazines do not overlap with the group of readers who like youth fantasy novels.

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

If you are not interested in youth fantasy novels, some buyers of "Fun Reading" don't even know who Chu Kuang is, but after seeing the cover promotion, many people will have expectations for the story promoted on the cover.

...

Han Jimei is the tribal literature operation officer, 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 develop habits.

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

The best-selling magazines in Qinzhou are of high quality.

There are always a lot of good 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 a luxury, and short stories don't waste too much time because of their short length.

Today is early March.

There are new days on various books, so this month's magazine Han Jimei bought a total of 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 much she likes "Fun Reading".

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

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

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

Han Jimei was still expecting that Chu Kuang could write some new short stories in the tribe's literature section. Unexpectedly, Chu Kuang had completely shifted his position now and ran to "Interesting Reading" for serialization.

"Look what you wrote this time."

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

Go directly to the first few short stories.

Han Jimi watched "The Gift of the Magi" first.

Many people may not understand what "Maggie's gift" means, and think that the protagonist of the story will be called Maggie, but Han Jimei, as a reader who has read a lot, knows that most of the protagonists in the story are not called Maggie——

This is related to the Christmas legend in Weizhou.

Qinzhou also has Christmas, but Christmas is not a mainstream festival in Qinzhou, and there is no holiday even. People in Qinzhou just want to have fun with this festival.

Weizhou is different.

They have the habit of celebrating Christmas, and many people believe in Christ. It is said that when Jesus was born, three wise men sent gifts. Since then, there has been a custom of giving gifts to each other at Christmas——

This should be the origin of the title.

At this time, Han Jimei began to read: [Tomorrow is Christmas, Mrs. A only has three yuan and eighty cents to buy a gift for her husband. this bit. 】

It's called Mrs. A?

Chu Kuang's naming was too lazy.

Han Jimei complained in her heart, but she understood the first expression of the story.

This is a woman living in a difficult situation. She is counting over and over again the few change in her hand, worrying about what gift to give her husband for Christmas tomorrow.

The background of the story should be many years ago.

The value of money was still high at that time.

But obviously three yuan and eighty cents is not much.

【She turned around from the window suddenly, stood in front of the wall mirror and looked at herself inside. At this time, her eyes were shining brightly, but her face paled within twenty seconds. She quickly untied her hair, letting it fall down. 】

What is she going to do?

Han Jimei guessed Mrs. A's intention.

With rich reading experience, she even developed some exaggerated associations, such as Mrs. A selling her body for money, and the first customer she met was her husband.

It's not that Han Jimei's mind is unhealthy.

In some special ages, it is not uncommon for someone to sell their body for a living. Chu Kuang may want to restore the cruel side of that era, but if it is only for Christmas gifts...

Is the reason too far-fetched?
