Chapter 476 The most familiar stranger

The autumn in Yanjing is in full bloom in October, and the villa garden is already covered with dead leaves. Now Lin Han can't help but feel satisfied when he looks at the house he just packed up.

Without yesterday's mess, everything has returned to neatness, which makes patients with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder very satisfied!

Chen Jiaxuan was busy learning baking in the kitchen. After seeing Lin Han standing lazily at the door, she couldn't help but urged: "I'm learning to make cranberry biscuits. After you finish writing the first chapter, you'll let you taste it. How about it?"

"You were not like this before. I have only translated "Hippleren" not long after, and I have to take a good vacation." Lin Han looked at the messy raw materials and kitchen utensils in the kitchen carefully, wanting to tease her.

"In the past, you didn't have to rest, but now you want to rest when you write. Why are you like a child? Is your youth rebellious period not over yet?" Chen Jiaxuan looked at the tutorial on the iPad while complaining, "At worst, I'll make you an extra durian thousand-layer crisp in a while. That's all right."

Lin Han’s love for durian is a bit strange. Chen Jiaxuan can’t stand the smell anyway, although the taste is indeed very good.

"Okay, okay, just wait. I will write the beginning tonight for the chief to review!"

After the two of them had a joking moment, Lin Han turned around and walked out of the kitchen and walked along the stairs to the study on the second floor. It was true that the environment for writing was quiet, and sometimes it felt too quiet.

On the desk, several books are neatly placed together. These are all casual books that Lin Han bought. It is also very good to learn some other types of novels as nutritious.

After Lin Han sat in the chair, he opened the computer, created a new folder and named it "The Wife of Time Traveler", and then recalled the ideas in his mind!

This novel is an extremely novel story, involving three levels of linkage: fascinating science fiction concepts, lifelike character portrayals, and touching love.

The full text is intertwined through the perspectives and narratives of the hero Henry and the heroine Claire from different angles, expressing Claire's longing that is always left behind, this unusual lifestyle and her love for Henry beyond everything!

The novel does not provide the reason for love like readers. It only provides the reason for waiting: waiting because of love. Love does not require a reason. Claire once said in the novel that deeply impressed Lin Han, "I have no choice, he is coming, I am here."

"The Wife of the Time Traveler" uses extremely exquisite conception and extraordinary charm, and tells people through simple, vivid and elastic language that the most romantic love is when one person slowly grows older while waiting for another!

The story is set in Chicago, a modern city with cars, computers, lottery and stocks, and all the items necessary in real life.

The hero Henry's traveling through time is always without warning. After reaching any new parallel space, he is naked and searching for clothes, food and shelter. The winter in Chicago is very long, with heavy snow and snow, and the city is covered with severe cold everywhere. The protagonist often appears in these places inexplicably. In order to keep the cold, he has to learn to pick locks, strip his wallet, and race with the police!

Of course, the science fiction component in this novel is purely for plot services, which cannot be compared with Lin Han's previous novels, and can even be classified as the fantasy field.

The other similar science fiction-conceived time travel stories in the world have told people that this kind of travel is very dangerous and will lead to the butterfly effect, and may cause the demise of the world. Any move that changes the past can only be used to save the future to great goal. From Hollywood movies in the 1960s to the current X-Men’s reversal of the future, they have repeatedly talked about the possibility of space-time axis.

But so far, the focus of these science fiction novels is not on the characters, and there is no such personalized and emotional story of time and space travelers. Everything just wants to talk about love, not to transform the whole world, full of romantic atmosphere!

Lin Han has never written a love novel. He actually doesn't understand women's thinking very well. This book can only be said to be a test. Anyway, with Chen Jiaxuan helping to check it, it shouldn't be too bad.

He opened the document and started writing it, hoping that this romance novel can be passed on and will be liked by more people!

The beginning of the preface is Claire's self-report, which makes Lin Han heart-wrenching.

"It's so hard to be left behind. I'm waiting for Henry, not knowing where he is, not knowing that everything is fine for him. It's so hard to be the waiting party.

I try to enrich myself, so that time will pass faster. I fall asleep alone and wake up alone. I work until exhausted. I watch the garbage covered in snow all over the winter flying with the wind. Why does absence always make love stronger?

A long time ago, men went out to sea, women waited for it, standing by the sea, searching for the boats in the sky. Now, I am waiting for Henry. Without any warning, he was so reluctantly young. Every minute and every second of his waiting seemed as long as years and months. Every tiny moment was like fine sand in a glass hourglass, slow and transparent. But why can't I always follow his departure?"

A few simple paragraphs of text describe Claire's willingness to wait but powerless mentality, which makes people feel ache.

Lin Han had a premonition that this novel would definitely be the best written by him in terms of heroines. In previous science fiction novels, the heroine always played soy sauce, and often disappeared or there was no heroine at all!

The writing style of "The Wife of the Time Traveler" is different from other books. The first-person self-narration is intertwined with the third-person henar, and there is also the change of time and space. If you are not careful, you may be taken off.

But it feels very touching when writing. This preface soon comes to Henry's self-narration section to see how he views himself constantly traveling through time and space!

"Sometimes, like a moment of distraction, then you suddenly realize the book in your hand, the red cotton plaid shirt and the white buttons on it; the black jeans of your beloved, the maroon-colored socks that are about to be worn out; the kettle that is about to be honked in the living room, the kitchen: everything is instantly disillusioned. Only you stand alone in the ankle-level ice water of the nameless ditch in the countryside.

You waited for a minute, and maybe you could suddenly return to the book, return to your home and other places. After about five minutes of cursing, trembling and despair that wanted to make yourself disappear immediately, you began to move forward aimlessly, and finally you would always encounter a farmhouse, when you could choose to steal or explain.

Stealing sometimes causes you to be arrested, while explanations are more tedious, because explanations are inevitably lying, and sometimes they will be sent to jail. Is there anything more unlucky in the world?"

"Claire, always Claire, early in the morning, Claire was sleepy and wrinkled in his face; when he was working, Claire put his arms into the pulp bucket, pulled out the mold, stirred it all the time, rubbing the paper fibers; when he was reading, Claire's long hair was scattered on the back of the chair; before going to bed, Claire used essential oil to rub it. Claire's soft voice always lingered in my ears.

I don’t want to stay in the time and space without her. But I always leave constantly, but she can’t follow her!”

Henry also loved Claire deeply. Although the two people he loved were always unable to stay together forever. This torture has always tortured his heart!

When traveling through time and space, what remains in Henry's heart is Claire's voice, appearance, and a different lover is the motivation for him to survive. He wants to return to his wife.

Time passes linearly in the traditional sense, and life continues to deduce as time moves forward, but "The Wife of the Time Traveler" seems reasonable after subverting this law!

After writing the prologue, Lin Han stood up and rested for a while. A romantic story made him feel a little heavy. Can such a beautiful love only exist in words and images?

After drinking a cup of tea, Lin Han began to struggle to start the first chapter of the main text. This chapter tells the meeting between Henry and Claire. The beginning is the most important part of every novel, and Lin Han cannot be underestimated.

In the quiet study, the sound of Lin Han typing on the keyboard with his fingers sounded, and the characters in the novel gradually merged with the characters in the movie!

In the beginning of the story, the twenty-year-old Claire met Henry, who was twenty-eight years old in the library for the first time. In the excitement of the waiting for more than ten years, Claire also discovered that this was not the one she was familiar with. Henry, who had been back from the future, who truly knew how to care.

Henry in front of him is still very young. Claire is a complete stranger to Henry in reality. However, Claire knows Henry's future well and is confident enough to turn her originally abandoned and drunken husband into the appearance of the future!

For Claire, Hen used his heart to clean up his life, broke his life with his lover, and fell in love with this young girl with all his heart.

...

Perhaps because he was too focused on writing, Lin Han didn't notice that the door of the study was pushed open.

Chen Jiaxuan walked to the desk with the cookies that had just been baked in a small tray. The fragrance of cranberries seemed to be still on the surface of the cookies, and the heat radiated made Lin Han come out of the world of words!

"Come and try it and comment on how it is." Chen Jiaxuan handed the small tray to Lin Han, her eyes lit up, full of expectations!

Lin Han didn't pick anything, so he chose one piece casually, picked it up with his fingers and tasted it, "Butter and milky aroma are very strong, and it tastes sour and sweet, similar to those sold in the cake shop outside!"

In fact, cranberry biscuits are an entry-level work for home baking. As long as you follow the recipe tutorial, it will not be too bad.

Lin Han certainly needs to encourage you to make something of this level by baking something for the first time.

“Really delicious?”

Chen Jiaxuan also picked up a biscuit and ate it. Although the golden biscuits are of different shapes and sizes, they tasted good in their mouths. After all, the ingredients she chose are all top-notch configurations.

After looking at his girlfriend's satisfied expression, Lin Han continued to praise: "You think it's delicious, right? Next time, you can give the extra biscuits to the company's employees, or we can keep the meal for afternoon tea ourselves."

"This is a good suggestion. Next time I bake more and give it to others, so that they can see my skills!" Chen Jiaxuan put the small tray on the desk, and saw the dense documents in her eyes. She asked, "This is the new book you wrote, the book "The Wife of the Time Traveler"?"

"Yes, you came just right. I just finished writing the preface and the first chapter. Please help me see how it is. I have no experience in writing a love novel for the first time!" Lin Han did not get up either. He directly put his hand on Chen Jiaxuan's slender waist and let her sit on his thighs, so he slowly looked at the screen.

Chen Jiaxuan did not refuse this intimate behavior. She slid the mouse and looked at it carefully, but she was out of control. She slowly read it line by line until her eyes were in the blank space at the end of the document. After a while, she sighed quietly: "Their first date is really not easy. If I were Claire and you were Henry, I would probably collapse. This love is incredible!"

"Don't worry, I won't leave in time." Lin Han smiled. He knew that this book could attract people.

"Are they the most familiar strangers?"

"For Claire, Henry grew up little by little with her, and she naturally knows Henry very well. But now Henry has not traveled to Claire when he was a child, so it is normal to treat her as a stranger!"

The novel is written in a unique way, mainly composed of three different types of texts, and the timeline is also inconsistent. It is divided into three dimensions: Henry's time, Claire's time and real time.

Chen Jiaxuan stood up from Lin Han's thigh. She took a deep breath and said with emotion: "It's very well written. Although the writing is not mainstream, girls will love this novel to death!"

"I'll be confident after hearing what you said. Now I have to share the news about the new book with readers online, and by the way, that group of people are envious of you."

Lin Han opened the Weibo page in front of Chen Jiaxuan, and then started editing: "After writing "Haiberian", his hands were a little itchy, and someone was short of stories, so he thought of challenging himself and tried writing a love novel. Every chapter was released after she passed the review. By the way, the novel is called "The Wife of the Time Traveler", and it will start serializing tomorrow!"

Chen Jiaxuan tapped Lin Han's shoulder with her finger, "You are taking me out as a target. Your fans may hate me to death, saying that I took you apart and actually went to write a love novel."

"Don't worry, my readers are all very rational. Besides, the beauty of the beauty is also a compliment to you!"

Not long after Lin Han’s Weibo post was posted, Xinlangwei. Official recommendations were made on the homepage, "Lin Han’s new work "The Wife of Time Traveler" will be released soon, get on the car!"

Now there is no need to mention Lin Han's title in news reports. Just like the report, he will not say that Chinese director Zhang Yimou or Chinese actor Jackie Chan, his name has been well known to many netizens. Although it is not well-known to everyone, it is highly recognizable.

Originally, Lin Han didn’t say it, but now Weibo is also popular, and it is Lin Han’s transformational work, so the attention is even higher!

No matter what type of novel Lin Han wrote before, the main readers were actually men. Now he has gone to write romance novels, and reading the title may have some science fiction elements, which makes netizens even more curious.

"I just finished reading "Haiberian" a few days ago. Now Teacher Lin is actually writing a love novel. I must have seen the fake Weibo and followed Teacher Lin..."

"The cold dog food is being photographed randomly on the face. This is the ultimate romance. My girlfriend has lost her books, so Teacher Lin will write a book for her to read, as if writing a book is as simple as buying a bottle of water!"

"The Single Dog Care Association strongly condemns Lin Han's dog abuse!"

"What is the Weibo of Mrs. Lin? I want to pay attention to it and urge Mrs. Lin by the way. Now I know, it is useless to urge Mrs. Lin. So it is more appropriate to ask Mrs. Lin."

"I have never read this type of love novel before. Teacher Lin wants me to make an exception."

"Why can't you see it tomorrow? I can't wait now. Pipixia will take me to see Teacher Lin!"

"Although I've changed my type, why am I looking forward to it?"

"Puff, I spit out my mouthful of blood. Lin Han actually wrote a love novel. This is just teasing me. Has he written any female character?"

"It is precisely because we haven't written it before that we want to know what the love story he wrote will look like. I hope there will be no thunder in the sky."

After writing science fiction for so long, Lin Han suddenly changed his genre. Who would have thought that the guy who wrote "The Three-Body Problem", "Jurassic Park", and "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy" would run to write romance novels?

This span is undoubtedly huge. Some old fans began to worry about Lin Han. As a science fiction master, "Haiberian" has created a literary name. Will writing romance novels so willfully reduce their talent?

If it is written into a bad book, it will probably have an impact on the reputation of the entire writer. Some people even sincerely advised Chen Jiaxuan, Mrs. Lin to carefully check it and never release the novel at will, so as not to give those black men an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Lin Han’s fame and authority are made little by little by little by little by so many wonderful works in the previous period. If the reputation of "Time Traveler's Wife" really plummets, then Lin Han’s fans will be prone to vent their anger on Chen Jiaxuan!

Fortunately, Chen Jiaxuan is not without support. There are also a few female readers in the Hanlin Academy. They are very happy to see the birth of novels with this kind of theme. They call friends one by one and call on friends, and call on friends who usually like to read romance president Gong Dou to cheer for Lin Han. The entire comment section is very beautiful!
