Chapter 78: Chapter 77: Are We in a Writing Relationship? Owen’s Dream
1-zo∠.
"Those were vampires, right?"
"That’s right, their bodies are far superior to ordinary humans, and they have special abilities."
"So, they play baseball and fly all over the place? How do they play?"
"Every time they hit the ball, it makes a huge sound."
"What to do about that?"
"Of course, you need something to cover that up."
"Got it! Thunder!"
"You’re pretty smart... hiss~"
"Hmm~ you rascal, I even made a typo."
"Hey, hey, can’t you write the novel later?"
"Are you saying you only need a few minutes?"
"You woman! You’re provoking me!"
"Hehe... ah~"
...
Zhou Mo Sen was indeed here for food.
He just didn’t say what he was here to eat.
But, he really didn’t expect.
Anne Hathaway to be so deeply involved in writing a novel.
Zhou Mo Sen had no choice but to get involved as well.
If she wants to write, let her write.
Originally intended to gently counter her.
Didn’t expect she’d provoke me.
Hmph!
Zhou Mo Sen is also someone with a temper.
Anne initially wanted to buy some time, didn’t expect this guy to enjoy causing trouble.
But, once the writing vibe hits, it’s really hard to stop.
Just this time...
The two of them lay side by side.
"Why did you leave last time?"
"I was afraid it’d be awkward."
"What’s awkward about it?"
"You’re awkward, and I’m awkward."
"I’m not awkward at all."
"Why are you so stubborn, woman?"
"I’m just stating a fact, surely you’re the one feeling awkward."
"Alright then, I’ll admit it’s me feeling awkward, okay?"
"Hehe..."
"Happy now? Hmph!"
"You’re still huffing? I’m giving you a chance to be a gentleman, isn’t that good?"
"Fine, nothing bad about it. But, Miss Hathaway, don’t you plan on hanging on to me?"
"Huh? Dr. Zhou, what do you mean by that? I really don’t understand."
"Alright then, pretend I didn’t say anything."
"Don’t worry, I won’t cling to you."
Zhou Mo Sen and Anne Hathaway were truly at each other’s throats.
After this round of verbal sparring, no one knew who got hurt.
What were they discussing anyway?
Maybe... being boyfriend and girlfriend.
Hmm, there’s that possibility.
However, in the United States, the relationship of being boyfriend and girlfriend is indeed a very important one.
In "Sex and the City", there was a woman desperate to get married, who was overjoyed when she finally confirmed a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with a man.
She was over the moon.
Actually, it’s like this, in the United States once you confirm a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship,
you can openly live together and even have children, and the children will be no different from those born in wedlock.
In terms of form, a formal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship is basically no different from marriage.
But, marriage in the United States is a very risky business.
Have you seen those homeless people on the streets?
Many of them ended up like that due to middle-aged divorce.
Not just the American middle class, even wealthy people, find this highly damaging.
The United States has dedicated divorce lawyers, and a very complete industry chain.
NBA stars are rich enough, right?
But after they retire, more than sixty percent go bankrupt.
The most common reason for bankruptcy is being unable to afford high alimony.
Of course, they kind of ask for it themselves.
They really get around with everyone.
Like Howard.
Can’t control little Howard at all, practically a seed spreader.
The U.S. also has a well-known TV show, Moli Show.
Translated in English: Where’s Daddy Gone?
Ninety percent of the program is about single moms taking their kids to find the dad.
In the U.S., doing a DNA test is really expensive.
So, this show never lacks material.
The proportion of African-Americans is very high, so, it’s really not a joke that many blacks grow up without fathers.
They are really into having fun, several people playing Battle Royale together isn’t even new.
Eventually seeking Moli Show.
Once they find the kid’s father, they can demand alimony.
And save on expensive DNA testing fees.
But it really does make for great show content.
They recount the process of conception on set, along with their complicated and messy relationship experiences with several people.
If an African-American is confirmed not to be the child’s father, he’d break out into a rap or bust some moves like breakdancing or something.
Excited! Must showcase that talent.
Before Zhou Mo Sen time-traveled, Moli Show was still extremely popular.
For decades, the show never ran short of material.
Zhou Mo Sen saw on short videos that there was a mom who went on the show more than a dozen times.
The journey to find the father, like winding through the 18 hairpin bends of a mountain road.
So, at this moment, Zhou Mo Sen and Anne?
They were talking and then looked at each other again.
"So we..."
"You help me write the novel, and you played the role of Edward very well in the book."
"I’m a doctor."
"But am I the patient?"
"Alright, you’re the novelist Anne Hathaway."
Anne let out a giggle.
Then they started kissing passionately again.
They probably really aren’t in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
They might just be writing partners working on a novel together.
Writing, writing.
Writing while doing.
...
The same night.
In San Diego.
High school teacher, Owen Johnson.
Still living a life seen as puritanical by others.
He’s very self-disciplined and has no bad habits.
After completing the basketball training at the school, he would often advise the kids.
At least complete your high school education.
Some community high schools in the United States are very outstanding.
For instance, high schools in the affluent areas of Los Angeles.
Schools equipped with swimming pools, stadiums, frequented by social elites.
Big stars and influential figures serve on the school board.
However, most ordinary community high schools.
Have only a thirty percent graduation rate.
Especially in African-American community high schools, there are a lot of kids who don’t graduate.
And they directly enter the phase of enlightenment at the dragon grounds.
Grounds here mean grounds; enlightenment is just not possible.
Owen cares a lot about the kids’ academics. If their grades aren’t good, he wouldn’t let them come to practice basketball.
In this regard,
Owen is a good person as well as a good teacher.
Took a shower, brushed his teeth.
Went to bed.
Owen fell asleep quickly, but once asleep,
his eyelids kept twitching.
Owen found himself in the jungle.
Not far away, there was a small village.
The small puddle on the ground showed that his face was already painted with camouflage.
An AK adjusted well, though it’s probably an R-56.
The reason for using such a weapon was to better conceal their true identities.
Their?
Exactly, not just him.
"Hey! Prepare for action."
"In ten minutes, I want a cup of rich coffee."
"Everyone stay sharp! They’re a group of murderous drug dealers!"
A group of comrades, quite excited, you could tell they were battle-hardened veterans.
Owen, in a daze, heard the captain give an order.
"Attack!"
"Leave no one alive!"
Ratatatat!!!
Bang bang bang!!
Owen didn’t remember what happened.
When he came to his senses, he was already kneeling in a pool of blood.
There were three bodies on the ground, and one of them was dressed differently.
The captain rummaged through, then widened his eyes.
"F*ck!"
"What’s wrong?"
"Huh? CIA?"
Clearly, something major had happened; the differently dressed guy had a more special identity!
Just as their team was all at a loss,
A heavy bomb dropped from the sky!
Boom!!!
Owen awoke from the dream, groaning, gasping for air.
Thank goodness, the sunlight caught his eye.
Turns out, it was daylight.
Fortunately, it was just a dream...
