Chapter 46 Rebecca Forest
Lin Tianyu shook hands with Rebecca, and suddenly asked with some uncertainty: "Have we seen it somewhere before?"
He said this without any target. The other party did make him feel inexplicably familiar, as if the two had seen each other somewhere, and as if there was a vague connection between them.
Rebecca smiled meaningfully, before she could speak, Lin Xiaoke joked, "What age is this? You still use this old routine to play with girls. I can warn you, don't hit Rebecca, she is only seventeen years old this year."
Lin Tianyuxin said, "I'm as unbearable as you said." He shook his head awkwardly. I'm just talking casually, where do you want to go.
Rebecca then rescued him, "Actually, I also feel familiar with Mr. Lin, and I feel very friendly. Why don't I recognize you as my fucking brother?" This was half true, but Lin Tianyu was stunned after hearing this.
It is logically a good thing to have a beautiful woman who recognizes her brother. Besides, she is such a beautiful, generous and elegant beauty. But for some reason, Lin Tianyu always feels something is wrong when he looks at the corner of Rebecca's mouth.
Seeing that Lin Tianyu didn't speak for a while, Rebecca suddenly said, "What, Mr. Lin thinks I don't deserve to be your sister?"
Lin Xiaoke's face suddenly felt a little anxious when he heard this. He gave Lin Tianyu a fierce look. Lin Tianyu had no choice but to say helplessly, "Okay, if you insist on this."
Just as a few people were chatting and joking, Lin’s parents also came back. The two of them went out to play mahjong before, but they received a call from Lin Xiaoke and rushed back.
As soon as Lin's mother entered the room, she held Lin Tianyu's hand and kept asking where she had been in the past two months, but there was no news.
Fortunately, Lin Tianyu had already compiled a story, saying that he met a seafood merchant in Shenyang, so he went to Italy to do seafood business. This kind of story sounded really unreliable, but with Alex, a pure-bred Roman man who supported him, it immediately became real. Alex's identity was introduced by Lin Tianyu to be a European seafood merchant. He met in Shenyang. The two of them made a lot of money by buying seafood.
When Lin's father heard this, he also joined in. He was more interested in Lin Tianyu's experience in Italy. He asked some details repeatedly, which made Lin Tianyu's explanation.
Alex was thinking as he watched the family feel happy, and he suddenly understood why Lin Tianyu missed home.
Rebecca didn't know when he stood beside him and pounded his shoulder gently, "Are they happy?" She said as if touched, with a faint sense of excitement on her face.
Alex glanced at her strangely, thinking that the whole family was happy to be reunited, why would you be excited? But he didn't say anything. On the way here, Lin Tianyu repeatedly told him to say less and watch more and not to cause any embarrassing things. He was taciturn and became even more restrained with this advice.
Lin Tianyu and his family had enough chat, so Lin's father went to cook. On the one hand, Lin Tianyu celebrated his return, and on the other hand, it was also considered to be a treat to Alex, a guest from a foreign country. As a traditional Chinese man, Dad Lin also had a good face and could not neglect anything to the guests.
Lin’s mother was going to buy vegetables. Alex thought that this was an opportunity to increase his knowledge, so he quickly said, “I’ll help you pick up the vegetables, so he followed him out.”
Only Lin Tianyu and Rebecca were left in the inner room. Lin Tianyu had nothing to say to this freshly released fucking sister. Rebecca seemed to have no interest in talking. He picked up the book on the coffee table and read it again.
This book is in English version and looks a bit old, but it is well maintained. Lin Tianyu can no longer read and write English fluently without amulets, but he can still recognize the title of the book on the cover.
themiserableworld? "Les Miserables, I've heard of this book. Did Hugo write it right?"
Rebecca nodded, saying nothing.
“What is this writing?”
"Several tragic stories that happened in tragic times, although some beautiful hopes are hidden inside, are generally tragic stories."
Lin Tianyuxin said no wonder I haven’t read it. This kind of book is not my food when it is introduced. He shook his head, "It sounds like nothing."
"If you mean the interesting aspect, this book is really meaningless." Rebecca said as she started reading it again.
Lin Tianyu couldn't help but ask when he saw her seriously, "Then why do you still have to watch?"
Rebecca smiled without a trace on the corner of her mouth, and raised her head and said seriously: "There are many reasons. First, it can improve your thoughts and taste and save you from vulgarity. Secondly, it can improve the level of using words. After all, since it is a classic, its writing techniques are usually more refined."
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, "I heard from Miss Kobayashi that you like writing?"
Lin Tianyu shook his head embarrassedly, "I did have similar ideas when I was young and ignorant, but I never wrote anything decent. Now I occasionally write something, but my writing style is still too bad."
Rebecca said: "Then you should take a look. It is good for your writing style. If you are interested, I can recommend you several good translations."
Lin Tianyu was still not very interested, so he just shrugged, "Let's talk about it later," he asked curiously again, "Do you like writing too?"
"Of course," Rebecca nodded seriously, "I wrote some short stories when I was a child, and after I went to college, I started writing some relatively long works, but I didn't publish much, and the only one that actually published was the book "The Daughter of the Time Traveler", which I wrote when I was in the UK. It was not sold very well and it was not very famous."
Lin Tianyu was immediately surprised, "You have even published books!" Although Rebecca said that the seller was not very good, publishing books was just publishing books, which was a bit out of reach for Lin Tianyu.
"What is this book about? Can you tell me?"
"Of course," Rebecca said, putting down the tragic world in her hand.
"The protagonist of this book is a girl. Her parents both died when she was born. She lives alone in an ancient castle with her old housekeeper."
Lin Tianyuxin said that this plot is really old-fashioned. It seems that the protagonists in many books have both their parents died at a young age. Can't they attract readers without giving the protagonist a more tragic life experience? Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't show it on my face and nodded to signal her to continue.
Rebecca's expression became erratic, as if telling a true story of an old story. "This girl lives in a castle with the old housekeeper. Because she has no parents' love, her personality becomes remote and arrogant, matures prematurely. When she was twelve years old, she discovered a hidden room in the castle in an unexpected exploration. There was a time machine in that room. It turned out that her father was a genius inventor, creating a machine that could travel through time and space, which caused a murder. Now this time machine has fallen into the hands of this girl..."
"So this daughter decided to go back to the past to change history and save her father!!!" Lin Tianyu guessed from the side.
Rebecca shook her head, "Strictly speaking, her father's death has happened and it is impossible to change, because once it changes, the grandfather's paradox will occur (1), so she just travels with this time machine. This book is about some of the experiences she encountered while traveling in time."
Lin Tianyu nodded, "Then this story sounds quite interesting, at least it's much better than that "Les Miserables".
"Do you want to read it? I just happened to bring a Chinese translation version here." Rebecca suddenly became enthusiastic for some reason.
"certainly."
Rebecca opened his backpack and took out a hardcover book with a hardcover cover from it. Lin Tianyu took it over and looked at it. The cover reads: "The Daughter of Time Traveler" - written by Rebecca Forrest.
(1) Grandfather paradox: Since - if a person really "returns to the past" and killed his grandfather before his grandfather gave birth to his father, will this cross-time traveler himself still exist? This question is obvious. Without your grandfather, there would be no father, if there is no father, there would be no you, if there is no you, how would you "return to the past" and kill his grandfather before his grandfather gave birth to his father.
