Passing students occasionally glanced at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, very few people in this small county town really understood cars or paid attention to them, but the pressure coming from the money could still be felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People passing by on bicycles avoided it by eight feet, almost riding into the motor vehicle lane. If they scratched it, a year of work would be for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the car, Qian Yarong looked back helplessly at her sleeping daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siwen, who should have been full of energy early in the morning, was curled up on the car door like a kitten, her face still carrying exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't look like she had slept all night; it looked more like... she had played all night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must have been staying up late reading miscellaneous books again. Qian Yarong knew Lu Siwen’s hobbies very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, when they left, Lu Siwen still asked to park under this overpass; she wanted to wait for \"Zhai\" to go to school together, but the car arrived and the person fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yarong was thinking about how to handle this when she saw the boy Lu Siwen was waiting for, flying poker cards while heading toward the overpass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his finger, the poker card spun and flew diagonally upward, then flew back into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said that it really had a visual effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would definitely be invincible for deceiving girls, Qian Yarong couldn't help but think...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus that micro-fiction contest... which high school girl could withstand this kind of test...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Siwen? Siwen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siwen had no response. Seeing the little boy was about to walk away, Qian Yarong could only lower the car window and shout: \"Zhai? Wait a moment...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da turned his head, tucked the [Joker Poker] back into his pocket, and walked down from the overpass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Auntie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Siwen is waiting for you, but it seems she fell asleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da looked back, waiting for what came next...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking, so what? You should wake her up... I can't go in and sleep with her...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yarong looked at Zhai Da, her heart moved, and she said with a smile: \"She might be tired from studying TOEFL last night. This child... there are only a few months left until she goes abroad, she might be a bit anxious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like she was explaining, but in reality, she was taking advantage of Lu Siwen being asleep to reveal a little information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason why was self-evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da suddenly realized, but he wasn't surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going abroad, it fit the family situation of the other party. In this day and age, as long as there was some economic strength, they would basically plan for this path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da had no subjective thoughts about this. As for whether a girl like a blank sheet of paper could withstand the rounds of impact from the outside world, frankly, it wasn't his place to express an opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least there was no reason to express an opinion in front of her mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about you, Zhai? Do you have a direction for your Gaokao preferences?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da shook his head: \"Fill them out after knowing the scores; it’s not too late to see after the results come down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siwen in the back seat heard the movement and rubbed her eyes. Qian Yarong stopped the topic at the right time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siwen woke up in a second when she saw Zhai Da, looked at the Longines watch on her wrist, quickly got out of the car, pulled Zhai Da’s sleeve, and walked toward the school, leaving Qian Yarong with only a \"Goodbye, Mom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the two lighthearted backs, Qian Yarong showed a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't a bad mother, but she might be a realistic mother. It was definitely happy to draw some friendship from those who weren't on the same path, and she could even accept drawing some love, even if it was short-lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it didn't affect her planning for Lu Siwen’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A seamless plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the overpass, Lu Siwen was still immersed in the excitement of last night... to be precise, the excitement caused by it: \"Zhai, I finished 'The Long Journey of Lu', it’s written so well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can you write so well and so specifically! You know so much about hospitals and patients... You must have looked up a lot of information, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da nodded absentmindedly: \"I suppose so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That movie only provided a thread; he didn't remember the details so clearly. Most of it was accumulated from the half-year he spent circling hospitals after Yu Xiaoli got cancer in his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn't a good memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this day, he could still clearly recall the never-ending \"beep\" sounds in the ICU, and he could understand every number and wave on the \"monitor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although pushing back the timeline, Yu Xiaoli definitely had no problems now, he still decided to find a way to take his mom to a first-tier city for a comprehensive check-up after the Gaokao, and ensure at least twice a year in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siwen didn't know what Zhai Da was thinking, and said excitedly: \"In the end, Lin Manman and Lu Tu succeeded in fighting the disease, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da didn't speak, just looked at Lu Siwen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siwen covered her mouth in surprise: \"They didn't succeed? They worked so hard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da thought, I’m the author, okay... Whether they succeed or not isn't just a matter of a line I write.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I went crazy, I could just say both of them were sent to another world by a truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, in web novels from his past life, there were even endings where the male lead looked in the mirror and died of his own handsomeness...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The story of 'The Long Journey of Lu' wasn't actually complicated; it came from real events in his past life and was later adapted into a movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if you calculate the timeline, that real event hadn't happened yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young uremia patient Lin Manman, because of long-term low-quality life and deteriorating health, coupled with the hopelessness of waiting for a kidney transplant, had a stress explosion and emotional breakdown one day, recording a \"marriage proposal\" video and sending it to a tumor\u002Fterminal illness group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a match could be found, she was willing to marry a tumor patient, become husband and wife, and accompany him to fight the disease. If the other party died, she would accept the kidney transplant as a wife and take care of the other party’s parents in their old age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she quickly felt guilty because of her immorality and withdrew the video, it was still seen by one person, the other person in the story’s title, Lu Tu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subsequent story revolved around the two fighting the disease together and the sparks of love that collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, it also explored disease and human nature, society and family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhai Da copying a movie couldn't possibly be exactly the same. Movies and literature had different ways of expression, and he couldn't remember it in such detail, so this story was at most 60% like the movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heroine’s name was changed, and some content that conflicted with the sense of the era was also revised. For example, there was no WeChat yet, so the heroine’s video was posted in a QQ group. In addition, a \"never marry for life\" clause was added to the promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another very important part was that about half of the movie was driven by \"comedy\" as the background, such as various misunderstandings, slapstick, the male lead’s strange accent, and even stranger personality. These things were not convenient to copy into a novel, and text couldn't even write \"strange accent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da downplayed the comedy part and focused on the tragedy. The male lead no longer had a goofy attribute, even though he had a piece of brain tissue removed because of a brain tumor...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the final direction of the whole story would become very \"sad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ending he arranged was for one person to live alone, living on lonely and strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it wasn't a web novel; a tragic ending was better than a happy ending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was estimated that girls of Lu Siwen’s age would cry their hearts out in the end...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, novels of this genre had women of Lu Siwen’s age as the main audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the effect of [The Literary Girl’s Pen], this content was judged as \"original\" by the system, and emotions would be injected during the writing process, so the quality was exceptionally high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It allowed a certain \"copywriter\" who had never written a long story to have a significant improvement in level, and he even felt some content was touching himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I write damn well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt his writing style wasn't inferior to those famous authors; after all, he was cheating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Siwen noticed that Zhai Da was planning to end it with a tragedy, and she felt terrible. She was already completely immersed in it. Lin Manman and Lu Tu were like real people, tugging at Zhai Da’s sleeve and begging:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make them succeed in fighting the disease~ I beg you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said, this pitiful, aggrieved look was quite pleasing to the eye, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. The more heartwarming the writing, the more beautiful and hopeful the happy ending seems, and then suddenly stabbing the reader with a sharp blade at the end—that’s what gives a story depth, isn't it? That’s just how writing is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siwen was stunned...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really wanted to check if Zhai Da’s mouth was 38°C.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he say such cold words...\u003C\u002Fp>",1647,"2026-06-17T20:38:09.169Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3e88a055d08492e87ce0f3cb080683366df714d639e6594a04135237578666c1","reborn-in-2008-the-gear-obsessed-heartthrob-chapter-63","reborn-in-2008-the-gear-obsessed-heartthrob-chapter-61",326,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-2008-the-gear-system-god-cover.jpg"]
