Chapter 25 (2/2)
The same sentence could be expressed in several different ways.
Who knew what kind of expression Fang Yuan was used to?
Dunbar thought about it and found that the best way was to find Fang Yuan personally for a signed book.
..
On the other side, Fang Yuan was talking happily with the two future great writers, Stephen King and Neil Gaiman.
He saw Dunbar walking over from afar.
Dunbar regarded Fang Yuan as his lifelong enemy.
Naturally, Dunbar would not humble himself to tell Fang Yuan that his fans came to him asking for a bunch of autographed books.
This was too much for Dunbar, so he hid the truth and casually made up a story. “I recently made a friend from China who’s about to celebrate his birthday. I wanted to give him my new book as a birthday present, but it won’t be nice to just give him a book without writing anything on it. I’d like to write a paragraph in Chinese that roughly goes, I wish you all the best in your writing. This will give him a small surprise.”
Seeing that there were many authors participating in the Fall Cup next to Fang Yuan, Dunbar added, “Do you think you can help me write this sentence? We’re all classmates, so this small favor shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Dunbar thought that in front of so many people, even if the two of them had a rocky past, Fang Yuan would not reject him rashly.
Fang Yuan looked at Dunbar from head to toe.
[ Psychological Insight (special agent level) ] had already seen through Dunbar’s real motives.
What friend?
Dunbar clearly made up this friend out of the blue.
Also, Dunbar was too arrogant, so how could he make any Chinese friends?
Seeing Dunbar’s act at his table just now, Fang Yuan had already guessed what was happening.
“Sure, that’s not a problem.”
Fang Yuan smiled and continued, “I can write this on the book if you have it.”
Dunbar’s smile was naturally very bright.
When the time came, he only needed to copy the Chinese characters on the paper a hundred times according to Fang Yuan’s handwriting.
It would be able to satisfy those girls’ requirements.
Anyway, he had already planned to imitate the signature of the two Chinese characters “Fang” and “Yuan”.
Now, it was just a matter of writing a few more words. It was totally doable!
“Yes, that’ll be great!”
Dunbar placed the paper and pen in front of Fang Yuan. “You can just write it here. Thank you.”
“No problem. We’re classmates anyway.”
Fang Yuan nodded and lifted the pen.
On the piece of paper, Fang Yuan wrote a line of the most complex Chinese characters he could think of in small, beautiful handwriting.
“In Chinese, this means, I wish you all the best in your writing.”
Dunbar was baffled. “WTF???”
