Chapter 157 He came from the bright light
Although Su Li is over sixty years old, he is still in good spirits.
The topic of his lecture this time is mainly about literary creation.
As a senior writer, he is very experienced in this area.
So his lectures were often accompanied by bursts of applause.
Cheng Xuyuan did not take notes. His excellent memory allowed him to remember clearly what he heard most of the time.
While listening to Su Li's lecture, Cheng Xuyuan glanced at Fang Yuqing out of the corner of his eye and found that Fang Yuqing was studying very seriously.
When Fang Yuqing realized that Cheng Xuyuan was looking at her, she rolled her eyes at Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan shifted his gaze to the podium again, feeling emotional in his heart.
Fang Yuqing, whom I usually come into contact with, is a girl who is very easy to get along with.
But now that they have known each other for a long time, Cheng Xuyuan discovered that Fang Yuqing not only has high emotional intelligence, but also seems to be very serious about doing things.
For example, if you listen to a lecture, then you are listening to the lecture.
She wrote quickly on the notebook, and in a short while, she had filled two or three pages.
An hour passed in a flash.
Su Li's lecture was also coming to an end.
Usually at this time, it's time to ask questions.
Students from Yenching University basically won't be scared at such times.
People who asked questions also rushed to ask.
Cheng Xuyuan had no intention of raising his hand, but Fang Yuqing kept raising her hand as if she had something to ask.
However, the teacher who was Su Li's assistant never chose her.
Listening to Su Li's wise and humorous answers, Cheng Xuyuan was quite impressed.
Although I definitely remember more than the old gentleman, I still can't match his ability to answer questions with such ease.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about what he should do if he was faced with the question, he suddenly heard someone say, "Mr. Su, I recently read two very good novels."
"One is Liu Xinwu's "Class Teacher"; the other is Xu Lingyun's "When Happiness Knocks on the Door."
"I think that 'Homeroom' reflects the pain we've been through. It's very realistic and very awakening."
"Although The Pursuit of Happyness also describes suffering, when I read this book, I felt more inspired."
"Because of this excitement, I don't care too much about the hardships."
"Because I like both books very much, so for a while, I couldn't tell which one of the two books was better."
“Excuse me, can you give us this answer?”
As this question was raised, the noisy students around became quiet.
They all looked at Su Li.
Most of the students here have read these two novels, and they are now very curious about how a big shot like Teacher Su would answer this question.
Su Li was not panicked. He looked at the faces below and said with a smile, "I believe that all the students today are very eager to know my answer."
"Isn't that right?"
"Yes, we all really want to know, what is your answer?" A student stood up and said loudly.
Su Li said: "As for answering this question, I have my own answer in my heart."
"But I'm not prepared to answer that question today."
"Because there is someone here today who is more qualified to answer this question than me."
Su Li's words made the venue, which was originally full of expectations, suddenly quiet.
Who would be more suitable than Su Li to answer this question? A literary giant who is more famous than Su Li!
This is obviously impossible!
After all, today is Su Li’s lecture, and these people can’t come.
Even if he came, he couldn't appear on stage.
Apart from these people, the only people more suitable to answer the question are the authors of the two novels, Liu Xinwu or Xu Lingyun.
Has Liu Xin come to his senses? Someone looked around.
But in the minds of more people, what they remember is the legend at school.
Xu Lingyun is a student of Yenching University! Although no one has found him, this is confirmed news.
Definitely accurate news.
Because it's already in the newspaper! Xu Lingyun is here! Who is he? Fang Yuqing, who was taking notes, couldn't help but look at Cheng Xuyuan!
She knew her boyfriend and didn't want to be treated like a celebrity.
But now, it seems that I can’t hide it anymore!
Cheng Xuyuan smiled at Fang Yuqing, gave her a reassuring gesture, and then looked at Su Li.
"Teacher Su, who are you talking about?" the student who just asked the question shouted loudly.
His question caused a series of responses.
"Teacher Su, are you talking about Xu Lingyun?"
"Yes, I'm talking about Xu Lingyun."
Su Li smiled and said, "I saw him when the lecture started."
“Since everyone is asking questions about his work, I think it’s better for him to answer this question himself.”
"After all, he is the one who has the most say on this issue."
At this point, he turned to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xuyuan, you are the author of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door". Tell me, which of the two works do you think is better, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" or "Class Teacher"?
After hearing Su Li's words, Cheng Xuyuan was speechless.
Boss, even if you find this question difficult to answer, you can’t drag me into it!
However, no matter how much I complain in my heart, the boss has already spoken and I can't hide anymore.
But revealing that he was Xu Lingyun in front of so many people was really...
Cheng Xuyuan's mind was full of thoughts, but on the surface, he stood up calmly and said, "Mr. Su, I think this student's problem is problematic in the first place."
Cheng Xuyuan's voice was not loud, but it made everyone's eyes focus on him.
At this time, in the huge Second Canteen, there were not only students from Class 77, but also students from other grades.
Everyone is very curious about Xu Lingyun, an author who likes to use a pen name.
Therefore, Su Lao's naming had already made them wait for Xu Lingyun to show up, and when Cheng Xuyuan stood up, almost everyone thought of only one thing: that is, it turned out that he was Xu Lingyun!
"Who is he?"
"Of course it's Xu Lingyun. Didn't Mr. Su say that just now?"
"Of course I know he is Xu Lingyun. I asked his name. Why don't you understand? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"If you ask me, I don't know either."
"I seem to have seen this person before, but I don't know who he is."
…
While everyone was discussing, Su Li said with a smile: "Xu Yuan, come up and tell me."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled helplessly and thought to himself, "Boss, you are giving your own lecture, why do you have to drag me up here? I just came here to listen to the lecture."
But in front of so many people, and Su Li had already pointed out his identity in public.
At this moment, there was no point in dodging, so Cheng Xuyuan smiled and walked towards the stage.
It is called a stage, but in fact it is just a raised table and chairs.
Su Li sat behind the chair and waited for Cheng Xuyuan to come up, then said with a smile: "Xuyuan, I didn't expect you to come to my lecture."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "You have always been my teacher. I can't miss such a good opportunity for you to give a lecture."
"I just didn't expect that I would have to answer questions during a lecture. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come."
At this point, he looked at the crowd below, smiled and said, "Hello, teachers and classmates. I am Cheng Xuyuan from the class of 1977 in our school."
"I usually eat in the second cafeteria."
"On Saturdays and Sundays, we occasionally go to the Changzheng Canteen for a bite to eat. Everyone is welcome to meet us by chance."
Cheng Xuyuan's humorous commentary immediately caused a burst of laughter.
Many students who looked up to Xu Lingyun suddenly had a feeling that this was what Xu Lingyun was like.
All of a sudden, the feeling of closeness grew stronger.
"So he really is Xu Lingyun." Lan Beijia said to Jin Yuanying who was sitting next to him, "No wonder he can write such good poems."
"I think Yuqing should have known about this before." Jin Yuanying said as he looked in Fang Yuqing's direction.
Lan Beijia nodded.
Li Yufei, who was sitting not far from them, was also looking at Cheng Xuyuan seriously at this time.
Although she already knew about Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing.
But when she saw Cheng Xuyuan walking towards the platform, she still felt a little complicated.
But at this moment, at the back of the lecture, two men in tweed coats were smoking and looking at Cheng Xuyuan.
Standing on the far left is Liu Hechu.
He suddenly realized, "No wonder Yuqing likes this Cheng Xuyuan, it turns out he is Xu Lingyun."
The tall man standing to his right, who looked a bit like Fang Yuqing, said coldly, "Since ancient times, scholars have been fickle. No matter how well Cheng Xuyuan writes his novel, it can't change this fact."
"He came to Beijing with the help of his wife, and he just got into college when he fell in love with someone else."
"Humph, a married man!"
"How he treats other people is none of my business."
"But if he dares to attack Yuqing, don't blame me for being rude."
Liu Hechu nodded and said, "I think Yuqing should know about this matter."
“A short pain is worse than a long one.”
"It will be good for her to recognize a person clearly and cut her losses in time before she invests too much emotion."
The man nodded and said, "If this matter had not affected Yuqing's reputation, I would have stood up and questioned him in public, asking him why he was dating another girl when he was still married."
"snort!"
Liu Hechu didn't say anything, but just looked at Cheng Xuyuan on the stage.
"Xu Lingyun, what's wrong with my question?" the student who asked the question asked with a hint of excitement on his face.
He was excited because of both the excitement of seeing Cheng Xuyuan and the excitement of having his own problem denied.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled, and then said frankly: "Student, I said your question is problematic because every work shows the author's unique vision."
"So, we can choose which work we like based on our own taste."
"But we can't force a comparison between the two works and say which one is better."
Cheng Xuyuan's words did not satisfy everyone present.
Although many of them liked Xu Lingyun, in this era where people dared to question what their teachers and professors said, someone immediately asked, "Xu Lingyun, then tell me, which of these two works do you like better?"
