Chapter 142: The one who was scolded was Xu Lingyun, what does it have to do with me, Cheng Xuyuan
"get out of class dismissed!"
As soon as these two words came out, Xu Simou grabbed his lunch bag and prepared to rush out.
The so-called rice bag is an enamel bowl tied with a towel.
You can just carry it with you when you eat, or tie it to your bag at other times.
In fact, at the beginning, many students would leave their lunch bags in the cafeteria.
But gradually, these students suddenly discovered that the enamel bowls they placed in the cafeteria were often used again by others after being washed.
In desperation, everyone had to choose to carry it with them.
As a young man, Xu Simou digests breakfast very quickly.
It's not his fault. Although he usually eats two buns in the morning, his stomach digests them too quickly.
The two buns could not withstand digestion at all and were completely metabolized before the get out of class was over.
As soon as the professor walked out of the classroom, Xu Simou was the first to rush out of the classroom. However, when he ran towards the cafeteria, he soon found two familiar figures appearing in front of him.
Guo Yuangui was riding a bicycle with Cheng Xuyuan sitting on the back seat.
Seeing this scene, he felt envious.
At the same time, he silently counted on his fingers. In two days, it would be his turn to ride a bicycle to take Cheng Xuyuan to the cafeteria! In school, having a bicycle is so convenient! Unfortunately, not only in their dormitory, but also in their class, only Cheng Xuyuan has a bicycle.
Fortunately, Cheng Xuyuan is not stingy and can be used by anyone who has an emergency.
Moreover, when it was time to eat, he even arranged shifts for them, and each of them followed him to the cafeteria every day.
Watching the two figures getting farther and farther away, Xu Simou sighed: It's great to be rich! Most of the classmates in the class who are over 20 years old have watches.
Of course he didn't have any since he was less than twenty years old.
But when it comes to who has the best watch, it's still Cheng Xuyuan. His brand new Shanghai all-steel shockproof watch costs more than 100 yuan! But this roommate doesn't really like watches.
Don’t wear it if you can.
When he arrived at the cafeteria, Xu Simou ordered a large bowl of rice and a serving of fried pork and radish strips, which cost him only two cents.
Holding the teacup, he quickly found Guo Yuangui and Cheng Xuyuan who were eating together.
Guo Yuangui had two yellow and white steamed buns and a bowl of cabbage stewed with vermicelli. Cheng Xuyuan also had steamed buns, but in his bowl, in addition to a plate of fried tofu, there was also a plate of braised pork.
"Simou, come and try it, this braised pork is very good." Cheng Xuyuan pointed at his bowl and said, "Your mouth will be full of oil once you eat it!"
When I first entered school, I felt a little restrained.
Now, after more contact, Xu Simou has some understanding of Cheng Xuyuan's temper.
Mr. Cheng’s motto is that you can save on anything, but you must never let your stomach suffer.
So he is definitely willing to spend money on food.
Eat whatever is delicious. According to him, now he can feed himself and his whole family will not be hungry, so spend the money if you have it, otherwise it will be a waste.
Everyone gathered together for a meal, and no matter what dishes he bought, they all ate together.
"Xuyuan, you're right. I have to eat two more pieces." Xu Simou took a bite of the braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth while sighing.
He also wanted to eat braised pork, but a serving of braised pork cost 30 cents, which he could not afford.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "You are still growing, eat more."
Guo Yuangui was eating a yellow and white steamed bun while talking about what the teacher had taught him today. At this moment, he heard someone angrily say, "Xu Lingyun's "Desire" is so disappointing!"
"He actually let Liu Huifang marry Wang Husheng!"
"What's so good about a man like Wang Husheng?"
"What he wrote is pure blindness!"
Hearing this, Guo Yuangui looked at Cheng Xuyuan.
Xu Simou also looked at Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan calmly munched on the steamed bun in his hand, as if the person being talked about was not him at all.
However, Cheng Xuyuan's indifference did not silence the voices. Instead, someone shouted, "After watching The Pursuit of Happyness, I admire Xu Lingyun very much!"
"But after watching 'Desire', I wanted to beat up Xu Lingyun!"
"How come he wrote such a good woman as marrying Wang Husheng instead of Song Dacheng?"
"Speaking of which, I think Liu Huifang is also blind. Why does she like Wang Husheng?"
At this time, someone else said, "I have also finished watching the first part of Desire."
"I understand why Xu Lingyun wrote this way, and I know what he wants to express."
"But even though I understand, I still want to tell him that I don't like how he handles the protagonist's marriage."
…
"What I dislike most about Desire is Yenching Literature and Art!"
"Wouldn't it be better to just publish all your works?"
"Why do you have to send out half of it? Isn't this just to whet people's appetite?"
"He is simply..."
The student didn’t say exactly what it was, but the meaning was clear.
"Xuyuan, what is written in your "Desire" and why does it make so many people indignant?" Guo Yuangui put down the half-empty bowl of food and asked in a low voice.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "It's not much, just the lives of three ordinary young people."
"Xuyuan, everyone is so angry, aren't you afraid?"
Cheng Xuyuan took a bite of the braised pork and said a classic line: "They are scolding Xu Lingyun, what does it have to do with me, Cheng Xuyuan?"
Hearing this, Xu Simou and Guo Yuangui looked at each other, a little speechless.
Brother, what you said seems to make a lot of sense.
But, do you really have the nerve to say that without blinking an eye?
In the cafeteria, more and more people were discussing Desire. Someone said, "To be honest, I am looking forward to Xu Lingyun's novel."
“But after watching it, I felt very disappointed.”
"When I was eating just now, my mind was full of Liu Huifang, the plot of Desire, and what the second half of the show would be like."
"Hey, now I really have the urge to continue writing for Xu Lingyun."
“I want to write for him, too!”
“I just don’t know what the ending is!”
Amid the conversation, Cheng Xuyuan had finished his meal. After washing his enamel bowl, he went to the cafeteria entrance to look for his bicycle.
Before he had taken two steps pushing his bicycle, Chen Jianxun and Liu Zhenyun came over side by side.
Chen Jianxun said, "Xuyuan, you can still eat this meal. Do you know how many students in our department scolded you today?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "What are you scolding me for?"
"Of course I'm scolding you for marrying such a gentle and kind heroine to Wang Husheng." Chen Jianxun said with a smile.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "It's okay to be scolded."
“When writing, I’m not afraid of being praised or scolded. I’m just afraid of no one paying attention to it.”
Liu Zhenyun said: "Xuyuan, you are right."
“The works that no one cares about are the most painful.”
“I just finished watching Desire and it resonated with me.”
"The three characters you created each have their own characteristics, but they are all very memorable."
"I want to know what their fate will be."
"What is the result?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "The next issue of Yanjing Literature and Art should publish the entire article. You can just read it then."
"If I give you spoilers, you won't feel fresh anymore."
Liu Zhenyun said: "You are the author, don't you have a manuscript?"
"The manuscript is at Yanjing Literature and Art. I don't have it here." Cheng Xuyuan spread his hands.
Liu Zhenyun sighed. Cheng Xuyuan didn't have the manuscript, so if he wanted to read the second half, he could only wait for the next issue of "Yanjing Literature and Art".
"Xuyuan, let me tell you something!" Chen Jianxun waited for Liu Zhenyun to finish speaking, then whispered, "The news that you are studying in our school has spread!"
"I heard that many people are ready to find you."
"You better pay attention!"
When Cheng Xuyuan heard the news, his eyes immediately turned to Chen Jianxun.
Facing Cheng Xuyuan's eyes, Chen Jianxun quickly waved his hands and said, "Xuyuan, you have to believe me, I will never tell anyone!"
"Someone else should know."
"After all, you just held a workshop on your work."
While the two were talking, someone suddenly waved a newspaper and said, "Everyone, go read today's Yanjing newspaper. There's an article on it."
"I'm talking about the seminar on 'The Pursuit of Happyness' that was held two days ago."
“The author of the article also attended the seminar.”
"When he was commenting on The Pursuit of Happiness, he said that Xu Lingyun was born in the countryside and was admitted to our Yenching University this year."
"It's our classmate!"
Following the shout, the students who had just finished their meal gathered together.
Someone even shouted loudly, "Let's go find Xu Lingyun! If he doesn't tell us everything about Wang Husheng and Liu Huifang's marriage, we'll never let him go!"
"Yes, let's go find him!"
"Did the newspaper say who Xu Lingyun was?"
"No, but it doesn't matter. Let's go to the Chinese Department and ask all the freshmen there one by one. We should be able to find out, right?"
"That's a good idea, let's go together!"
…
This proposal immediately attracted a lot of responses, and a group of people headed towards the Chinese Department classroom.
Chen Jianxun looked at these classmates and couldn't help but joked to Cheng Xuyuan: "Xuyuan, look at what you have done!"
"Tell me, how should this be solved?"
Cheng Xuyuan was also stunned when he saw this scene.
He never thought that such a scene would appear: the whole country mourns Liu Huifang, the whole country scolds Wang Husheng, and the whole country sighs for Song Dacheng! At this moment, Cheng Xuyuan finally understood the power implied in this sentence.
This was still possible in the late 1990s, let alone in this era when it is easier for people to resonate with it.
I shouldn't have written it if I had known this! Cheng Xuyuan said to Chen Jianxun: "This is your Chinese department's business. What does it have to do with me, a history department student?"
As he spoke, he got on his bike and headed towards the history department classroom.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan walking away, Chen Jianxun said to Liu Zhenyun, "Old Liu, what should we do?"
Liu Zhenyun said: "What else can we do? I think we should just hide."
"Anyway, I'm not Xu Lingyun."
"As for those classmates, since they couldn't find Xu Lingyun, they naturally dispersed!"
Chen Jianxun nodded and said, "Zhenyun, I now realize that it is not easy to write a work that is praised by everyone, and it is even more difficult to write a work like Cheng Xuyuan, who is scolded by others."
Liu Zhenyun said: "If you are envious, why don't you write one too."
"Forget it." Chen Jianxun's expression changed and he said, "I'd better wait a few years before deciding."
As the two were talking, more and more people rushed towards the direction of Department of Chinese Language and Literature 77.
