Chapter 20

Fortunately, Ye Xuan had practiced before, and his typing speed was truly very fast.

In order to establish a better effect, Ye Xuan didn't send out both books entirely.

Instead, he wrote out the content of 'The Old Man and the Sea' first.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but it was already dark outside.

Ye Xuan typed the last punctuation mark, and then sent all the content of this book to his blog account in one go!

To be honest, there were many good words and sentences in 'The Old Man and the Sea' worth remembering and quoting.

Ye Xuan also specifically picked out a portion; everything was to attract attention.

For example—

"No matter what everyone says, I believe my own feelings are correct.

You can naturally persist in things you like, and things you don't like won't last long. Never envy other people's lives, even if that person looks happy and wealthy..."

"Every part of him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated."

"He could no longer see the green of the shore now but only the tops of the blue hills that looked like the white-capped mountains.

And the clouds above the hills that looked like high snow mountains. The sea was a very dark blue now, and the sun was making rainbows in the sea."

Many sentences were very worth imitating, allowing people to feel the uniqueness of this content between the lines.

Previously, some people had specifically written reading reflections after reading 'The Old Man and the Sea'.

For example, Ye Xuan.

The first time he read this book, Ye Xuan felt an impulse in his body, a kind of joy of gaining freedom after being bound for a long time.

The tough-guy image of the old fisherman Santiago left an indelible impression in people's hearts.

He went out to sea for 84 days without catching a fish, and later he finally caught a large marlin. On the way back, he fought with sharks all the way.

As a result, the large marlin was still eaten by the shark school, and in the end, only a fish skeleton remained—it was 18 feet long.

This book was not a plot novel in the general sense; it was more like an allegorical novel.

Almost no one could pick out any faults in this book.

When this book was just published on the blog for a few minutes, it attracted a lot of attention.

"What? I actually accidentally saw such an excellent masterpiece!"

"This book looks interesting! Which famous writer wrote it?"

"This tough-guy spirit is vividly displayed in the struggle between life and death; it really is a rare good work! No, I have to repost and share it!"

More and more people were attracted by it.

They all came with a trial-reading mentality, but they didn't expect to accidentally read to the end.

More and more netizens left their evaluations.

"'The Old Man and the Sea'? I dare to bet my personality that this is a peerless masterpiece! Everyone passing by, don't miss it!" ===== CHAPTER 23 =====
