Chapter 282 I just came to watch a movie
For college students, the favorite day is Sunday.
In fact, on Saturday night, everyone had already started to rest.
Students from Yenching University all started to go home.
Some students whose families are not in Yenching also call on their friends to find a place to improve their lives.
As Cheng Xuyuan gave Fang Yuanfeng a complete collection of Mr. Cha's works, the relationship between Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing quickly heated up.
Although Fang Yuqing always kept her mother's advice in mind, the time they spent together became more intimate than before.
Because the dinner at Fang's house was scheduled for Sunday, Saturday night became a sweet time for the two of them to spend alone together.
"How about we go out for a nice meal tonight?" Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile, "Learning from History sent me the manuscript fee for this month's Ming Dynasty Stories, which is about 300 yuan."
"That's enough for us to have a good meal!"
Hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said, Fang Yuqing rolled her eyes at him.
Only Cheng Xuyuan could say that a meal cost three hundred yuan.
These three hundred yuan are half a year's salary for many ordinary people.
As "Things About the Ming Dynasty" became more and more popular, the pace of publishing "Learning from History" also increased to 40,000 words per month.
Moreover, Cheng Xuyuan's manuscript fee became 7 yuan per thousand words.
Compared with Cheng Xuyuan's royalties from the "Today Evening News", the difference is not even a little bit.
However, this royalty fee can bring Cheng Xuyuan an income of about 300 yuan a month.
If Cheng Xuyuan had cared about such royalties in the past, now he felt that this amount of royalties was too little.
He has used it as pocket money.
"There's nothing new about eating out." Fang Yuqing pinched her snow-white fingers and said, "My mother said she's going to buy a rooster to stew tomorrow."
"Let's save some space for a big meal tomorrow."
"Why don't we go to the movies today? I heard that Shuimu next door is going to show a foreign film today!"
Every Saturday night, Shuimu next door likes to show movies.
As neighbors next door, many students from Yenching University like to go and watch movies.
Although most of the time there are no stools and you can only stand in the playground to watch, this movie is free!
Especially some college couples who have established a relationship like to go to the movies for free hand in hand.
Of course, if you have better conditions, you can go to the Changzheng Hotel after returning and eat something that is not too expensive.
Cheng Xuyuan was not very interested in watching movies.
After all, he had memorized most of the films.
However, seeing Fang Yuqing's eager look, he couldn't bear to spoil her fun, so he readily agreed, "Okay, let's go and see it."
"How about finding two familiar people to bring us a stool?"
Fang Yuqing waved her hand and said, "Forget it. It's more troublesome to find someone."
"Why don't we go and see it together!"
After making the decision, the two of them had a simple meal in the cafeteria, and then followed many classmates who went to Shuimu to watch a movie and slipped into the gate of Shuimu.
The gatekeepers at Shuimu were also very clear that these were not their own students.
But they would not stop the students from the neighboring families from coming, so Cheng Xuyuan and his friends came to the playground where the open-air movie was being played very easily.
The movie curtain has been opened, and many students have gathered around the curtain, making the scene extremely lively.
Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing found a corner at random, and while looking at the water and trees in the evening, they talked about what had happened in the past two days, looking very leisurely.
Just when Fang Yuqing was saying that Fang Yuanfeng had been reading novels day and night for the past two days and was scolded by his mother Meng Fanjin, a voice sounded beside them.
"Excuse me, are you Xu Lingyun?"
Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing looked up and saw that the person asking the question was a young man in his twenties wearing black-rimmed glasses.
Judging from the young man’s school badge, he is a student of Mizuki University.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Classmate, you've got the wrong person. I'm from the Chinese Department of Class 78 of Yenching University. My name is Liang Xiangyou."
The young man with black-rimmed glasses showed a hint of disappointment on his face, and then apologized: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
"It's okay, this isn't the first time I've been misidentified!"
"When I first reported to Yenching University, a senior mistook me for someone else and thought I looked a lot like Senior Xu Lingyun." Cheng Xuyuan lied without thinking.
He came to Mizuki University to watch a movie with his girlfriend.
I didn't come here to be watched and asked questions by others.
Therefore, Cheng Xuyuan would try to push away the issue of identity as much as possible.
The man with black-rimmed glasses said, "I didn't expect such a coincidence. Liang, you go ahead and do your work."
Looking at the man with black-rimmed glasses who was leaving quickly, Fang Yuqing scolded him, "Why don't you tell me the truth?"
"I'm just afraid that you'll be disturbed." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile, "The movie is about to start, and I just want to watch a movie here."
Fang Yuqing actually didn't want Cheng Xuyuan to be disturbed, so after hearing what he said, she didn't say anything else.
The two searched around and found a stone that was not too big at the edge of the square. Although it was not very comfortable to sit on, it was better than standing.
As soon as the two of them sat down, they heard someone say, "Xuyuan, are you guys here to watch a movie too?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Cheng Xuyuan turned his head and saw Liu Zhenyun from the Chinese Department, looking at him with a smile.
Cheng Xuyuan's relationship with Liu Zhenyun is not as good as his relationship with Chen Jianxun, but the two are also good friends.
What's more, Fang Yuqing and Liu Zhenyun are in the same class.
Cheng Xuyuan was just about to answer when he saw three other people standing next to Liu Zhenyun.
Among them was the man wearing black-rimmed glasses.
It seems that this did not scare people!
Although it was a bit awkward, Cheng Xuyuan's mental state was very good. He smiled and said, "Zhenyun, Yuqing and I heard that Shuimu is showing a foreign film today, so we came to take a look."
As he spoke, he said to the man with black eyes: "Classmate, I'm really sorry, I came here this time just to watch a movie quietly."
The man with black glasses felt a little embarrassed when Cheng Xuyuan said that.
He thought to himself that he was not the one who lied just now, so why was he the one who was blushing?
"Classmate Liang... Cheng, I understand your thoughts. If I were him, I wouldn't want to be disturbed either." While speaking, he glanced at Fang Yuqing.
At this time, a tall man who looked to be in his thirties standing next to Liu Zhenyun said with a smile: "Xuyuan, I am Zhenyun's friend. My name is Jiang Donghai, and I am a student of the 77th grade of the Department of Water Resources and Hydropower. I am very happy to meet you."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled, shook hands with Jiang Donghai firmly and said, "Hello, Donghai."
Jiang Donghai smiled and said, "Although our Shuimu School is now mainly focused on engineering, we have many classmates who like your work."
"Especially the poems you wrote, which are widely circulated in Shuimu."
"We even wanted to visit you at Yenching University, but we didn't expect you to come."
"The movie still has more than ten minutes to go. We have moved a lot of stools over there. Why don't you two come sit over there? We can also ask you for some advice."
If he wasn't recognized, Cheng Xuyuan would have been fine with pretending to be stupid.
But now that he was recognized by Liu Zhenyun, Cheng Xuyuan could only say: "I don't deserve your advice. We are all classmates, so why don't we exchange our views with each other?"
Accompanied by Liu Zhenyun and two others, Cheng Xuyuan quickly arrived at a central location on the playground.
Many students from Shuimu were sitting here, and Liu Zhenyun and others also had their chairs here.
The arrival of Cheng Xuyuan and others attracted a lot of attention. Jiang Donghai was a very eye-catching student. As soon as they came over, someone asked, "Donghai, who is this?"
Jiang Donghai smiled and said, "This is Cheng Xuyuan from Yenching University."
The person who asked smiled and said, "Hello, classmate Cheng Xuyuan, I am... Oh my god, isn't Xu Lingyun called Cheng Xuyuan?"
His words immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people looked towards Cheng Xuyuan.
"It's really Xu Lingyun. I met him at Yenching University!"
"Xu Lingyun actually came to our place to watch a movie."
"Xu Lingyun is quite handsome, just as I imagined!"
…
Following the discussion, many people gathered here.
If only these people came over, it wouldn't be a big deal, but some classmates who didn't know what was going on also came over from all directions.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Donghai, who seemed very happy because Cheng Xuyuan came over, was shocked.
He hurriedly said, "Everyone, please be quiet."
"This time, Cheng Xuyuan came over to watch a movie and have a chat with us. Please don't crowd. Anyone who has any questions can ask them."
After saying this, he turned to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "There are a lot of people here, so we can't let everyone be too enthusiastic."
Cheng Xuyuan understood very well what Jiang Donghai meant.
He looked at his classmates who didn't move around much, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart, but on the surface, he smiled and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Cheng Xuyuan."
“It’s nice to connect with everyone before the movie.”
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”
"I will answer everyone if I can."
Following Cheng Xuyuan's words, the surroundings became much quieter. But within half a minute, someone said, "Xu Lingyun, I heard that you recently wrote a poem in Hong Kong, which is very famous."
"This poem has only two sentences. It is the night that gave me black eyes, but I use them to look for light. What is the name of this poem?"
The scene, which was originally a bit noisy, suddenly became quiet as this question was asked.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at the people at the four tables, smiled and said, "I didn't give this poem a name when I wrote it."
“But after writing it, I think the name ‘A Generation’ is very suitable for it.”
Cheng Xuyuan's answer was met with warm applause from all around.
"Student Cheng Xuyuan, I watched your book The Pursuit of Happyness, and I think..."
One question, two questions, three questions...
As each student asked questions, the atmosphere became more and more lively.
This exchange of questions and answers lasted for more than half an hour, and Cheng Xuyuan felt like smoke was coming out of his throat.
He wanted to wail, I just wanted to watch a movie, is it worth it for you to do this?
The second update is here today, please support me!
