Chapter 585

That was being hailed as the existence closest to the Nobel Prize in Literature in the Island Country's literary scene.

Why say he was close to the Nobel Prize in Literature?

It was precisely because Murakami Akiki had been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature seven times.

But every time it reached the critical moment, he was always just one step away.

With this, Murakami Akiki, who hadn't won the award for a long time, also wanted to know where exactly he fell short of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Previously, at the Nobel Prize in Literature awards ceremony, he happened to catch a glimpse of the Nobel Prize in Literature winner, Ye Xuan.

At that time, he was also deeply shocked by Ye Xuan's youth.

At first, he also speculated whether there was any black-box operation or inside trading behind the award.

But after he truly read Ye Xuan's works, he was completely lost in them and slapped the table in admiration.

In his lifetime, he had never read such a brilliant novel!

Even the novels written by previous Nobel Prize in Literature winners were simply a pile of dog shit compared to Ye Xuan's works.

Ah, no.

Even the words "dog shit" were overestimating them.

With this, Murakami Akiki immediately became Ye Xuan's loyal fan.

Having previously cut off all social media, he resumed using social media.

He even specially downloaded China's Weibo to follow news about Ye Xuan.

Every time Ye Xuan updated a new novel, Murakami Akiki would be the first to urge the translation progress of the Island Country language version.

Even when the Island Country language version of the novel wasn't translated well, Murakami Akiki would rely on his own guessing of the Island Country language to start hard-chewing it.

Reading and reading, his Chinese language level soared.

Although he couldn't understand when listening, at least he could understand seven or eight out of ten when reading.

Right now, he had just finished reading Ye Xuan's novel "Dream of the Red Chamber," and his mind was full of the plot he had just savored.

In terms of plot, he was not as good as Ye Xuan.

In terms of depth, he was not as good as Ye Xuan.

In terms of erudition, he was still not as good as Ye Xuan.

Comparing like this, Murakami Akiki felt that he was simply a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Ye Xuan.

Right now, Murakami Akiki was incredibly curious about how many whimsical ideas Ye Xuan had in his brain to create such a stunning and brilliant world.

With this, an idea suddenly popped up.

Could he personally seek advice from Ye Xuan?!

Once the idea emerged, Murakami Akiki felt more and more that it was a good idea.

Not long after, he applied for a visa, bought a plane ticket, and prepared to go to China on an auspicious day.

However, on the final flight to China, Murakami Akiki had an extra middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses beside him.

Watching the middle-aged man shamelessly following him, a flash of helplessness crossed Murakami Akiki's eyes.

"｀ ˇTanaka, isn't your interview work busy? Why do you have to cling to me?!"

The middle-aged man called Tanaka still had an excited expression, and his eyes looking at Murakami Akiki even carried condemnation.

"You are going to visit Mr. Ye; this is a major event in the literary world! As an overseas reporter for NHK, how can I not follow?"

The middle-aged man happened to be an overseas reporter for NHK and also a good friend of Murakami Akiki.

Learning that Murakami Akiki was determined to go to China to visit Ye Xuan, this Mr. Tanaka also had his own ideas.

This was Ye Xuan, who had won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

If he could interview Ye Xuan personally, that would definitely be explosive news in the literary world!

How could he miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Holding such thoughts, Tanaka bought a ticket on the same flight as Murakami Akiki at the first opportunity and became Murakami Akiki's companion for this trip.

Just like that, the two traveled all the way from Osaka International Airport to Capital Airport.

Then from Capital Airport to Qianzhou City, and finally from Qianzhou City to Qiong Village, where Ye Xuan lived.

When the two arrived in front of Ye Xuan, dusty and tired, the person who was surprised became Ye Xuan.

"Mr. Murakami Akiki, why have you come?!" ### CHAPTER 588
