第1章 梧桐巷晨光与神秘的签到提示

Wutong Lane Morning Light and Mysterious Check-in Tips

My name is Chen Yan, and I'm a novelist. Growing up, I've never had any big ambitions, always just going with the flow. Ten years ago, I moved to Wutong Lane, and next door moved in with a little girl named Shen Zhixia. She was cheerful and talkative, like a chirping bird. Our families were close, and we grew up together. She called me "Chen Xiaolan," and I called her "Xia Xiaofeng." Later, she entered the entertainment industry, while I stayed at home writing. Unexpectedly, she went on to become a film queen, while I continued to calmly update my obscure novels. Until one day, a system notification popped up on my phone: "Signed in successfully, received 'Inspiration Boost'." From then on, every book I wrote became an absurd hit. Zhixia always said, "You're so clear-headed, but you act like a blockbuster on the outside." Actually, I'm not a blockbuster, I just don't want to argue. But there were people who wouldn't let me sit idle: scheming capitalists, hypocritical movie stars, and those who pretended to be gentlemen but were actually trying to sabotage me. Fortunately, I always had her, always running towards me with a smile. No matter how chaotic this circle is, there are always lights, such as her, such as the stories I write, and such as the tacit understanding between us that we are running towards each other.

我叫陈砚，是个写小说的，从小到大都没啥大志向，随缘活着。十年前搬去梧桐巷，隔壁家搬来个小姑娘，叫沈知夏，爱笑，话多，像只叽叽喳喳的小鸟。两家大人走得近，我们也就这么一起长大，她叫我“陈小懒”，我喊她“夏小疯”。后来她进了娱乐圈，我还在家里码字，没想到她一路成了影后，而我依旧佛系更新着冷门小说。直到某天，我手机弹出个系统提示：“签到成功，获得‘灵感增幅’。”从此我写的每本书都火得离谱。知夏总说：“你这人啊，明明心里通透，表面装得跟块木头似的。”其实我不是木头，只是不想争。可有人容不得我闲着，什么腹黑资本家、伪善影帝、表面君子背地使绊子的，一个个都冒出来了。好在，我一直有个她，从小到大，笑着朝我跑来。这圈子再乱，也有光亮，比如她，比如我笔下的故事，比如我们之间，早就心照不宣的那份双向奔赴。
