On San Francisco College Road, the streets that are crowded are basically full of young faces.
On this sunny weekend, even the top student who spends all day in the laboratory and library will choose to relax and walk around with friends.
In the cafe on the corner of the street, a young man dressed in a waiter carries a plate and walks through the corridor next to the coffee table.
Under his black hair was a clean and handsome face, and his black eyes looked a little deep that was inconsistent with his age, and fatigue that was completely opposite to the sunlight outside the window.
Soon, he met a pair of green eyes.
Do you have to leave?
Bathed in the sunshine that crossed the window eyebrows, the blonde hair was so dazzling.Rushui's eyes read retention, but he was destined to be unable to respond to that retention.
Li Ming sighed and gently placed the coffee cup on the table.
Sorry, Louise.Something happened at my family and I can no longer afford to study outside...
My father is a doctorate from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has been influenced by his father's work since he was a child and has a unique talent in science.
He himself is also full of interest in natural sciences. In addition to reading related books, he occasionally writes them himself.
After high school, he was admitted to San Francisco State University with excellent TOEFL and SAT scores, and studied in bioengineering related majors.
However, just as the last year of graduation approached, bad news came from the family.
Three years ago, for the expensive tuition fees for studying abroad, his honest father collected a sum of money that he shouldn't have collected and helped a person who shouldn't have... In fact, it would be nothing if it was usually put, but the person he helped involved Director Li of the Materials Research Institute.
A week ago, the head suddenly came down with a document and ordered the leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to thoroughly investigate the mice in the hospital. Director Li of the Institute of Materials was dismissed and pulled out a large number of borers along the rat's tail.
It seems that it was because it involved the popular Nobel Prize nominee, who attached great importance to this matter and even alarmed the Discipline Inspection Commission.
The original small problem was magnified. If it weren't for the mother who took out the savings from the family to clear the relationship, his father would not have faced a suspension of work, but an iron window of the prison.
In order to settle this matter, the family spent about 600,000 yuan.
The family has no money to support him in studying outside...
The girl, known as Louise, had a mist in her eyes.
Do you have the heart to give up your studies that you have been studying for three years, and...forget me?
Li Ming did not dare to face the unyielding sight and said softly.
Sorry, you are a good girl, I am not worthy of you.
Just doing odd jobs in a cafe is not enough to support him in continuing his last year.
Hearing his answer, the sadness in Louise's eyes was replaced by perseverance.
I don't want you to apologize!
After saying that, she slapped a newspaper on the table and looked into Li Ming's eyes.
I have signed up for you. I have read the novels you wrote. You have the strength to compete for this opportunity!
This is?Li Ming was stunned for a moment, looked at the newspaper, and read the words along the lines of the headlines.

However, what attracted him was not this line of title, but the lines below the title.

$1 million, if you have this money...
Li Ming was moved, but then he shook his head again.
Such an attractive bonus, I'm afraid science fiction writers all over the world will try it out.
He is just an amateur writer. Although he has shared his works with his fellow friends on science fiction forums and published articles in magazines in his hometown, he can't take any courage to participate in such a world-class competition.
Even if you submit your manuscript, you will be submerged in snowflakes.
Do you want to give up?Louise stared into his eyes.
This is not a question of whether to give up or not.Rather than betting on this probability, it is better to buy lottery tickets.
So you don’t even want to try it?
The sound broke the hesitation in Li Ming's heart like a heavy hammer.
It's Ah...
Do I dare not even try?
I have clearly said arrogantly that I want to become a world-famous writer, so that my works can be translated into twelve languages, and stand on the podium of the Hugo Awards!
However, now, opportunities are placed in front of me, facing opportunities that may change my destiny, I don’t even have the courage to reach out...
I……
Louise looked at him with a bright look, held his hand, conveying his courage with the warmth. I have read your novel, and that was the first time I was fascinated by science fiction.You know, I never looked at those things before.
Thanks.
Looking back at the encouraging look, there was no trace of hesitation in Li Ming's eyes this time.The sunny expression returned to his face, and he put down the tray in his arms.
Go, I will tell your boss that you have quit.
kindness.Nodding gratefully, Li Ming ran outside the coffee shop door.
Time is only one week, every minute and every second is so precious.
After rushing into the apartment, he shook his hand and closed the door, locked himself in his small room of more than ten square meters, and took out a carton from the bottom of the bed, containing countless manuscripts he had written.
There are short stories, mediums, and even long stories.
He turned on the computer, forced himself to enter the state in the shortest time, and placed manuscripts in front of him.
He knew that if he used these manuscripts similar to those of the essays to participate in the competition, he would definitely not have any chance of winning.
But are these manuscripts useless?
No!
It is these manuscripts that laid the foundation for his science fiction view.
Every word here is integrated into his hard work, like a brick, building the building in his heart.
For a week, he locked himself at home and never left the room apart from eating and going to the bathroom.
His ten fingers made a afterimage on the keyboard, and there was no distracting thought in his mind.
At this moment, he just felt that his thoughts were like a spring, without a trace of lag.
These plots have appeared in his novels, and now, all he wants to do is piece together these fragments of paper into a complete puzzle.
Bet on your own destiny!
Finally, when the seventh ray of sunlight passed through the gap in the curtains, he knocked the last stop, raised his panda-like eyes, and looked at the wall clock on the wall.
There are five hours left before the deadline, and he did it!
Copy and paste the manuscript, and then press the uploaded Enter key.
The amount of text of 300,000 words per week has exceeded his limit.
However, after completing such a feat, his heart was as calm as a lake, without a trace of turmoil.
Title of the work: "Iron Curtain of Time and Space"

No matter what success or failure, he has done his best to do it.He just wants to turn off the lights now and have a good sleep.
However, before he could reach the bed, he lay on the table and fell asleep deeply...
Two weeks of sleepless waiting.
Finally, he received a reply email from Future Ren Technology.With an indescribable complex mood, he tapped the email with his trembling fingers.
When he saw the first line of the email, his heartbeat froze.
Congratulations, your novel has been selected.Among 170,281 works, your works stand out, please be proud of yourself.
At this moment, his eyes were wet.
My mother taught him since she was a child, and men would not shed tears easily.But even though this is the case, the tears still couldn't help but slid down on the floor.
He took out his cell phone and called Louise.
In the cafe... I have something to say in front of you.
The other end of the phone was silent for a long time.
wait for me.
Leaving this sentence, Louise hung up the phone.
After taking a shower, I changed into clean clothes, and my fatigue swept away from my face.
He opened the door and bathed in the bright sunshine again. The blue sky and white clouds actually made him feel a bit of long-lost nostalgia.
Everything on the street was dyed with old black and white silent films, and he saw the beautiful side of life again.
Stopped a taxi.
After sitting on, he called her mother and told her not to worry about her tuition fees.
Soon after, he will get a huge sum of money, not only can he pay for tuition and living expenses, but he can also send a sum of money to go home to subsidize his family... Don't worry, it's not that he did a bad thing, the money is very clean, it's my royalties.
The taxi parked at the entrance of the cafe.
As soon as he got off the car, he saw the beautiful young figure.
Louise pounced on him and hugged him.
Don't say anything, if you have to leave... I will go to China with you.
No, no need.Li Ming shook his head and looked into her eyes.
Why?There were tears of sadness in Louise's eyes.
Because... Suddenly, a charming smile appeared on his face, and I was selected!
The two hugged each other tightly, and the tears fell, but it was not sad.
Thank you for supporting me to the end...
You bastard, I thought... crying, Louise's fist hit him hard.
Let the raindrops and raindrops hit the chest, Li Ming's face also had tears on his face, but his expression was still smiling.
Future Ren Technology hopes that I can sign a contract at Koro Island and attend the award ceremony at the same time.They promised to reimburse us for two air tickets. Louise, would she be willing to accompany me?
I do!
