Yao Xiuyuan sighed and asked him, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would spend money to buy a book, and buy a hardcover edition?"
Ying Nian felt that although he didn't know him very well, it seemed that Yao Xiuyuan was not that kind of person.
Yao Xiuyuan looked at the bookcases in his study. "These were all given to me by Ah Cheng when I moved. Among our group of people, there is only one cultured person like him. He thought that how can a home not have a study? How can a study not have bookcases? How can a bookcase not have books? So he bought me all the bookcases and books."
Yao Xiuyuan knocked on the bookshelf beside him. "This bookcase is full of his books, first edition, second edition, revised edition, hardcover edition, paperback edition, comic edition. He even asked me which edition I liked best?" Yao Xiuyuan felt terrified when he thought of that time. "I was afraid that he would ask me to read all of them, ask me what the difference was between each edition, what were the advantages and disadvantages of each edition, and ask me to write an essay for him. Fortunately, he has stopped writing now, otherwise, this bookcase in my house would be full of space."
It was the first time Ying Nian heard about Chu Cheng writing a book, and he was very curious and asked, "Chu Cheng is actually a writer? I thought he was just the CEO of New Culture. Let me see what he wrote."
Yao Xiuyuan then remembered that his hair was still covered with a vest, and quickly leaned against the bookcase to block Yingnian, and said awkwardly, "Don't look at this bookcase, look at other bookcases, you can look at other bookcases at will. What I just said, just go in your left ear and out your right ear, just pretend you didn't hear it, otherwise if Ah Cheng finds out, I will be in trouble."
Ying Nian heard this and didn't embarrass him, "Well, I'll just pretend I didn't hear anything."
"Yes, the earth knows, you know and I know."
Ying Nian smiled and turned to look at the other bookcases. Yao Xiuyuan opened the bookcase and asked him, "Is there anything you like? Feel free to take any."
"You let me see it so casually. If Chu Cheng knew, he wouldn't be angry, right?"
"Books are meant to be read. Instead of letting them gather dust with me, you might as well take them and read them. That way, you can realize their value. Don't worry, Ah Cheng won't mind. He will only criticize me for having no literary accomplishment." Yao Xiuyuan was helpless. "I'm a science student. What literary accomplishment do I need? As long as I learn math, physics and chemistry well, I can go anywhere without fear."
Ying Nian laughed and asked him, "Guess whether I'm majoring in arts or science?"
"I think you're a liberal arts student, but since you asked me that, I guess you're a science student."
Ying Nian thought he was very smart now, “Okay, you guessed it right.”
"So, to answer this kind of question, you have to go against the routine."
"Is Chu Cheng a liberal arts student?"
"No, he also studied science. He was good at studying and was good at both arts and science. So when he saw that we all chose science, he also chose science."
"You guys have a very good relationship."
"Well, we've known each other since kindergarten. After so many years, we're almost like brothers."
Ying Nian nodded. He was somewhat envious of the relationship between Yao Xiuyuan and Chu Cheng. He also had very good friends when he was young, but later, he came here to study in high school and never saw them again. Even if he could finally make his own decision and return to the place where he was born, those people would not recognize him and would no longer have any common topics with him. It is a very happy thing to have a group of friends who can rely on each other since growing up. From this point of view, Yao Xiuyuan is very happy.
Ying Nian chose a book that interested him, took it back to his room and started reading. Two days later, when he went to the study to return the book, he saw a bookcase with a curtain on the inside. Ying Nian smiled instantly. This bookcase was filled with nothing but Chu Cheng's works. He thought Yao Xiuyuan was quite cute. He even made a curtain to cover Chu Cheng's books. He was very careful to protect his brother.
Yingnian put the book in his hand back into the bookshelf, and then chose another one that interested him.
When he returned to the room, his cell phone rang. Ying Nian took it out and looked at it. It was a WeChat message from Guan Han.
Guan Han: I'm back.
Guan Han: What was it that you wanted to talk to me about before?
Ying Nian put the book down on the desk in his bedroom and replied: Is it convenient tomorrow? I want to meet you and pay you back the money I owe you.
Guan Han: Do you have money now? There is no rush. Keep the money first and return it to me when you have money in the future.
Ying Nian: It’s okay, I can return it to you now. Let’s meet tomorrow. You decide the time and place. Don’t tell Tang Yu.
Guan Han was silent for a while before replying: Okay.
Ying Nian was relieved when he saw that he agreed. When he broke up with Tang Yu, in order to completely break up, he carefully calculated every account he could remember, from the tuition he received from the Tang family in high school to the investment Tang Yu gave him after he entered the entertainment industry. In the end, he found that the number was too large. Even though he had been in the entertainment industry for more than two years and was quite popular, he could not pay it off in one go, especially since he needed to leave some money for his living expenses.
For this purpose, Ying Nian borrowed some money from Guan Han, who was the only one among Tang Yu's friends who had no prejudice against him and became his friend. He was also the only one around him who could afford the money at that time.
