Chapter 156 Bad Feeling
After Cheng Xuyuan recommended Hou Shimao's role, I no longer paid attention to it.
His opinion has been raised and people have recommended it.
As for whether it can succeed or not, it has nothing to do with him anymore.
Attending classes, eating, writing, and taking a walk with Fang Yuqing along the shore of Weiming Lake...
These became Cheng Xuyuan's main business.
However, at Yenching University, the search for Xu Lingyun is still very hot.
Some people have even speculated whether Cheng Xuyuan is Xu Lingyun?
But there is no evidence yet, so we can only guess.
This did not cause too much trouble to Cheng Xuyuan.
"Xuyuan, a few of us are planning to go to the Changzheng canteen for a bite to eat. Do you want to go?" Before the get out of class was over, Xu Simou asked Cheng Xuyuan in a low voice.
Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "You guys go ahead. I'm not going."
"I have a dinner appointment with someone today."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan say this, Xu Simou winked and grinned, gave us a look that we all understood, and stopped talking.
Looking at Xu Simou's ambiguous teasing, Cheng Xuyuan smiled silently and didn't care.
However, when he walked out of the classroom, he found that the person waiting for him was not Fang Yuqing, but Feng Laoer and Hou Shimao.
One of the two is serious and the other is funny, and when they stand together they give people a natural sense of joy.
Hou Shimao's face also became lively, and he walked with a brisk pace, looking much more energetic.
When Cheng Xuyuan walked out, Feng Laoer ran over quickly.
"Teacher Cheng, I was planning to come see you next weekend, but Lao Hou will have to go into closed training at the People's Art Theatre after today, so he dragged me to come see you today."
Feng Laoer was very eloquent and with just one sentence he pushed all the blame onto Hou Shimao.
At this time, Hou Shimao also took two quick steps and came in front of Cheng Xuyuan. He looked very excited, but there was also a hint of uneasiness in his excitement.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was about to greet him, Hou Shimao suddenly bowed and said, "Teacher Cheng, thank you."
Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly helped Hou Shimao up and asked, "Old Hou, what are you doing?"
"Teacher Cheng, if it weren't for your recommendation, I would have been on the bus back to Minzhou now."
Hou Shimao said excitedly: "Not to mention being able to become the protagonist of a drama by the People's Art Theatre."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Old Hou, you are wrong."
"The reason you were able to get this role is mainly because of you. Your own abilities are very suitable for this role."
"I just recommended it casually, that's all, it has nothing to do with me!"
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan said solemnly: "As for you, the person you should thank is yourself."
Seeing that Cheng Xuyuan was so young but could take credit for his achievements without being arrogant, Hou Shimao felt more and more grateful.
He knew very well that there was more than one suitable person like him.
Maybe there are many more! After all, he is not unique.
Take the young man he met at the entrance of Yanjing Theater today. He felt that if he were asked to play Xu Lingyun, he would probably be able to do it.
Teacher Cheng does not take credit for himself, this is his cultivation. Unlike some people, if they help you a little, they would like to solemnly announce it to the whole world, hoping that you will be grateful.
But no matter how much Teacher Cheng disagrees, he cannot turn a blind eye to these things.
"Teacher Cheng, I won't say any more words of gratitude. I will always remember the help you gave me."
After Hou Shimao finished speaking, he said solemnly, "It's time for dinner now, why don't we find a place to talk while we're at it."
Feng Lao Er also said: "Yes, Mr. Cheng, how about we go and have something to eat?"
Cheng Xuyuan glanced at the time and said, "Old Feng, Old Hou, I'm really sorry, today..."
While he was speaking, Fang Yuqing came over and said, "Xuyuan."
Cheng Xuyuan introduced: "Yuqing, these are my two friends."
"This is Feng Lao Er, and this is Hou Shimao."
At this point, he introduced Fang Yuqing and said, "This is Fang Yuqing."
Although Cheng Xuyuan did not introduce Fang Yuqing's identity, Feng Laoer immediately understood what was going on when he saw the expressions of the two people.
He smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Fang. I am a friend of Teacher Cheng."
Fang Yuqing said, "Teacher Feng, I saw the performance at the New Year's Gala. It was great. After the TV show aired, I watched it several times."
When Feng Lao Er heard Fang Yuqing mention this, he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Fang, those two skits were not performed well by me, but written well by Teacher Cheng."
"With such a good script, anyone can play the role."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled helplessly. This Feng Laoer always liked to push all the credit to him, as if he could conquer the world.
Fang Yuqing said with a smile: "Teacher Feng, what you said is a bit biased."
"I think that no matter how important a good script is, it also requires good actors to bring it to life!"
"So, you and Xuyuan, you complement each other."
After hearing this, Feng Laoer felt even closer to Fang Yuqing.
After all, this mutual achievement made him feel his own importance all of a sudden.
"Thank you for your affirmation, Mr. Fang." Feng Lao Er said, "We came here mainly to thank Mr. Feng for his help to Shi Mao, and also to treat Mr. Cheng to a meal."
"If you don't mind, Mr. Fang, let's go together."
Fang Yuqing looked at the anxious Hou Shimao, then smiled at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xuyuan, your friends have come from far away, how about we invite them to the Changzheng Canteen for a meal, and let the two of you try our food."
Seeing Fang Yuqing say this, Cheng Xuyuan also smiled and said, "Then I will treat you two to a meal in the cafeteria, which can also be regarded as congratulations to Old Hou for getting what he wished for."
Hou Shimao wanted to refuse, but Feng Laoer's expression changed and he smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll take advantage of it this time."
"Be sure to invite us over later."
After exiting from the southwest gate of Yenching University, the four of them walked towards the Chang Zheng Canteen while chatting.
During the chat, Fang Yuqing learned that a simple recommendation from Cheng Xuyuan actually made Hou Shimao the leading actor of the People's Art Theater's "The Pursuit of Happiness".
"I came here this time to express my sincere gratitude to Teacher Cheng."
"I know very well that without Mr. Cheng's recommendation, I would not have had this opportunity."
After Hou Shimao told Fang Yuqing about this matter, his words were once again filled with gratitude.
Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "Old Hou, I've already said it all."
"You got to this position because of your hard work."
"It has nothing to do with me."
"If you keep flattering me, we can no longer be friends!"
Hou Shimao didn't know what to say for a moment, and Feng Laoer smiled and said, "Okay, this is the last time, it won't happen again."
Because it was Monday, not many people came to Changzheng Restaurant to satisfy their cravings. Cheng Xuyuan ordered a portion of braised liver tips, a portion of mixed beef, a portion of stir-fried lotus root cubes and twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, and a few steamed buns, and the four of them began to eat.
According to Feng Laoer's idea, he naturally wanted to have a drink with Cheng Xuyuan.
But at this time, Fang Yuqing was beside him, so he had to put this little thought aside.
The time passed quickly as they ate and talked. In just half an hour, the four of them were satisfied with their meal and drink.
Although Feng Laoer and Hou Shimao both felt that they still had a lot to say to Cheng Xuyuan, the meal was over, and Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing obviously had other things to do, so the two had to say goodbye and leave.
On the way back, Hou Shimao said with emotion: "I never thought that Teacher Cheng would be so humble. He said it was just a piece of cake after helping me so much."
Feng Lao Er said: "This may be a common problem among capable people. In our eyes, it is a very big thing, but in the eyes of others, it is just a piece of cake."
At this point, he turned to Hou Shimao and said, "Old Hou, this is a rare opportunity. If you act well and can perform well, your transfer to the People's Art Theatre should be possible."
"I heard that the People's Art Theatre has been reshooting a lot of shows recently and needs manpower."
Hou Shimao nodded heavily and said, "Old Feng, just watch me. I will definitely act well this time."
"No matter what, I can't let Teacher Cheng down."
Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing saw Feng Laoer and the other man off, then walked towards the school side by side.
Fang Yuqing said as she walked, "Feng Laoer and Hou Shimao, one is funny and the other is steady, but I didn't expect that they would become good friends."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Not only can they become friends, I think they can also become good partners."
At this point, Fang Yuqing suddenly said, "Xuyuan, I think I can no longer hide the fact that you are Xu Lingyun."
"Some of my classmates have already guessed that you are Xu Lingyun."
"After all, your poem is so good."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "If I can't hide it, then I can't hide it. I'm also waiting for the truth to come out!"
"But if they don't have evidence, I won't admit it voluntarily. It will only cause trouble."
Fang Yuqing said: "It's all my fault for making them doubt you."
"It would be better if I didn't go home."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "This has nothing to do with you, don't take it to heart. It's only a matter of time before everyone knows about it."
The two chatted and laughed, and then came to the outside of the library.
The library was still brightly lit at this time, and many students even sat under the street lights outside the library, reading and reciting something silently.
"Are we too relaxed?" Fang Yuqing couldn't help but ask when she saw her classmates studying.
Cheng Xuyuan said without even turning his head: "No, we actually worked very hard."
Fang Yuqing glanced at Cheng Xuyuan quickly, tears welling up in her eyes. She always felt that there was an indescribable sense of distance between her and Cheng Xuyuan, although from beginning to end, she had a warm heart ready to give to the beloved person in front of her.
Fang Yuqing was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Xuyuan, there will be a lecture by Su Li tomorrow, let's go together."
Cheng Xuyuan was not unfamiliar with Su Li. Not only had he seen Su Li's works in his previous life, but Su Li also attended the seminar on his works and gave him very high praise.
Unexpectedly, he will come to give a lecture tomorrow.
But it's normal. After all, this is Yenching University, and there are many bigwigs coming here to give lectures every year.
"Okay, let's go and listen together."
The next day, at the appointed time, Cheng Xuyuan took a stool and went to the second canteen where the lecture was held. At that time, in addition to eating, the canteen often had other tasks, such as giving lectures, showing movies, and holding dances...
When he came over, the cafeteria was already full of people, many of whom were talking loudly.
When Cheng Xuyuan was searching for Fang Yuqing, he saw Fang Yuqing waving at him from the front. Cheng Xuyuan took his stool and walked over.
The two had just said a few words when Su Li walked in accompanied by several professors from the Chinese Department.
Cheng Xuyuan was looking at Su Li who was stepping onto the podium, and he felt that Su Li's eyes were also on him.
And he nodded slightly.
This little action made Cheng Xuyuan's heart jump inexplicably.
I felt a little uneasy for some unknown reason.
