Chapter 213 Junior Sister from the Same Hometown
Just when Shen Yumo was having a headache because of the omnipresent Cheng Xuyuan, Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing were taking a walk by the Weiming Lake.
As the sun sets, the summer heat gradually subsides.
What Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing talked about had become what they had eaten today, what classes they had taken, or what had happened.
This is what happens between normal couples.
From literature and art to oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea...
"Xuyuan, after we finish the last exam, we can have a holiday at any time. Will you go back to your hometown during the holiday?" Fang Yuqing asked a little worriedly.
Should I go back to Chengjiazhuang? Cheng Xuyuan was also very conflicted.
Although his body is the original Cheng Xuyuan's, his memories are also the original Cheng Xuyuan's.
Before I knew it, I developed a close relationship with the family members here.
But he is not the original Cheng Xuyuan after all, and some small barriers still appear involuntarily.
Cheng Xuyuan hesitated whether to stay in Yanjing and continue his writing at school, or return to his hometown and continue to be a good son in place of the original owner.
After a moment of hesitation, he said to Fang Yuqing, "I plan to stay at home for half a month and then come back."
Fang Yuqing heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Cheng Xuyuan say he would be home for half a month.
During this period of time, Fang Yuqing developed a deep affection for Cheng Xuyuan. She felt that she was trapped in the whirlpool of love and couldn't extricate herself. She didn't want to be separated from Cheng Xuyuan for so long, this frustrating two-month summer vacation!
"When are you planning to go back?" Fang Yuqing said, "I'll prepare some things for you to take back to your uncle and aunt."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Fang Yuqing, who had a hint of anticipation in her expression, and said with a smile, "After the holiday, at least hand in the manuscript for this issue of "Things About the Ming Dynasty" before leaving."
"Otherwise, Lin Gengsheng might come and kill us!"
Fang Yuqing said, "I have already copied most of your manuscript, and I will definitely not delay sending it to the Jinwanbao."
"By the way, my brother-in-law came to deliver crabs to my house yesterday and told me that a colleague of his who had just returned from Hong Kong had told me that 'Those Things About the Ming Dynasty' is very popular in Hong Kong right now."
"Although there are many people who attack me, it doesn't affect more people who like me."
"Even their newspapers have compared Dangnian Mingyue with Ni Kuang."
Cheng Xuyuan said modestly: "I haven't finished writing this book yet, it's a bit early to compare myself with others now."
“It will be almost done once it’s finished.”
"By the way, did your brother-in-law tell you about the sales?"
Fang Yuqing said, "He said that his colleague said that the sales of Jinwanbao have increased to 110,000 copies. That means that this time, the fee for your article will be 33 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words."
"Based on this price, you will earn more than 4,000 Hong Kong dollars this month."
Although more than 4,000 Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount, Cheng Xuyuan feels that it is not too much either.
He smiled and said, "Four thousand is not much. I heard that Ni Kuang sometimes charges one thousand yuan per thousand words."
Just as the two were talking, Chen Jianxun's voice suddenly came from a distance: "Xuyuan, Xuyuan!"
Cheng Xuyuan turned his head and saw Chen Jianxun and several others walking towards him.
Although the distance was a bit far, Cheng Xuyuan still felt a bit strange with the people coming from Chen Jianxun.
Fang Yuqing, who was whispering with Cheng Xuyuan, frowned. This Chen Jianxun really found a way to find him. It was really disappointing! Didn't he know that he and Cheng Xuyuan were taking a walk? He had to disturb them at this time.
As Chen Jianxun and others approached, Cheng Xuyuan discovered that the young men behind Chen Jianxun were all wearing Yenching Normal University badges.
No wonder he looks unfamiliar!
No, there was a girl who looked familiar and was looking at him anxiously.
"Xuyuan, these are all students from Yanjing Normal University. They came here specifically to see you. Let me introduce them to you. This one is Tao Zisheng, and this one is..."
Chen Jianxun was a very hospitable person. While introducing him to Cheng Xuyuan, he said to him, "Zisheng and the others came here to discuss something with you."
As he spoke, he was about to introduce the girl who was looking at Cheng Xuyuan curiously.
"This is Feng..."
For a moment, Chen Jianxun almost forgot the girl's name.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Feng Xiaoxia, we haven't seen each other for a few days!"
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's words, a smile immediately appeared on Feng Xiaoxia's face.
Chen Jianxun's face showed astonishment.
I was still introducing her to Cheng Xuyuan, but I didn't expect that Cheng Xuyuan actually knew her. What was going on...
Just when he was wondering, he heard Feng Xiaoxia say with a smile: "Hello, Cheng Xuyuan."
"I thought you had forgotten me!"
Cheng Xuyuan said to Chen Jianxun: "Xiaoxia and I are from the same county. We took the physical examination together last year."
Fang Yuqing, who was standing next to Cheng Xuyuan, breathed a sigh of relief for some unknown reason.
Although she believed in Cheng Xuyuan's character, she still instinctively felt a sense of crisis when facing a sweet-looking girl like Feng Xiaoxia.
After a few pleasantries, Tao Zisheng explained the purpose of their visit.
It turned out that they were all students of the Normal University Literature Society. Now that their exams were over, they wanted to invite Cheng Xuyuan to give a lecture at Yenching Normal University before the holiday.
Cheng Xuyuan is unwilling to give lectures at the Normal University.
It’s not that he is timid, but he is too young. If he goes to other people’s schools to give lectures at this time, he will easily be accused of being childish and frivolous.
"Zisheng, forget about the lecture."
"I think this is how it should be. You guys set a time and I'll go over and have a discussion with everyone."
"After all, we are all students, so there is no need to make it so grand."
Tao Zisheng said somewhat embarrassedly: "Xuyuan, with your current achievements, it is more than enough for you to give lectures at our school, and no one will say anything."
"I think it's better to tell you about it."
Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "Zisheng, let's just have a casual exchange. If you're talking about a lecture, I don't dare to go."
"That's settled."
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan so humble, Tao Zisheng wanted to persuade him again, but he didn't know what to say, so the matter was settled.
"Let's go. We have friends coming from afar, and Xiaoxia is our fellow villager. Yuqing and I will treat everyone to a meal today." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile, "Let's go to the Changzheng Hotel to eat."
Tao Zisheng was originally not very sure whether he could invite Cheng Xuyuan this time.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Xuyuan not only agreed readily, but also took the initiative to treat him, which made him a little overjoyed.
"Xuyuan, we came here specially to invite you, so you have to let us pay for the meal." Tao Zisheng insisted.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Zisheng, I will go to your school in two days. I will not come back unless you treat me."
"But today, this guest must be my treat."
"Come on, let's go now, otherwise we'll be late and they'll run out of beer."
When Chen Jianxun heard about beer, his eyes lit up and he said, "Don't be polite to Xuyuan. Compared to him, we are all poor. Let the great writer treat us!"
"By the way, don't be polite to him when you order food later."
Because it was night, there were still quite a few people in the Changzheng Hotel.
The ceiling fan hanging on the roof was constantly turning, but it still couldn't blow away the heat in the room.
Cheng Xuyuan ordered a plate of braised beef in soy sauce, a few plates of cold dishes such as peanuts and edamame, and a few bottles of cold beer, and everyone started chatting while eating.
During the chat, Feng Xiaoxia was always paying attention to Cheng Xuyuan.
She found that Cheng Xuyuan was not a person who liked to talk a lot. Most of the time, Cheng Xuyuan was just a listener.
However, as soon as everyone started to argue, Cheng Xuyuan would clearly explain the issue that everyone was arguing about.
Even those who were arguing until their faces turned red were convinced.
In addition to these, Feng Xiaoxia also discovered that Cheng Xuyuan and this girl named Fang Yuqing seemed to have an unusual relationship.
Although the two of them behaved very reservedly, their every move could not be hidden from her eyes.
To be precise, the subtle emotions that were implicitly revealed between the two people had already stirred up a storm in Feng Xiaoxia's heart, and she felt a little sour.
Should I come to Yenching University to find Cheng Xuyuan earlier?
What's more, he and I are from the same hometown, so he has more conditions to get there first...
They drank more than a dozen bottles of beer during the meal. If an ordinary student were to pay the bill, it would definitely be a huge expense, but for Cheng Xuyuan, it was a small matter.
Especially after he had the overseas remittance vouchers in his hands.
After eating and drinking, it was already dark, so everyone waved goodbye at the entrance of the Changzheng Hotel.
Feng Xiaoxia was riding a borrowed bicycle, and for some reason, the figures of Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing kept appearing in her mind.
Just as she was daydreaming, she heard a classmate say, "This time it went quite smoothly. Not only did we invite Cheng Xuyuan to our school, but we also had a meal with the great writer Cheng."
Hearing this, Tao Zisheng said, "This time, we all benefited from Xiaoxia's help."
"If it weren't for Xiaoxia, a fellow villager, coming, the great writer Cheng might not have invited us to dinner."
After hearing what Tao Zisheng said, several other students also started laughing.
Just when Feng Xiaoxia was being modest, she heard someone say, "Xiaoxia, I heard that Cheng Xuyuan got married when he was still in the village. Is this true?"
Hearing this question, Feng Xiaoxia hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly: "Before Cheng Xuyuan, he was married to a female educated youth."
"But I heard that the female educated youth looked down on Cheng Xuyuan, and their marriage was in name only."
"Before last year's college entrance examination, the female educated youth had already returned to the city, and she was also seeking a divorce from Cheng Xuyuan."
The classmate who was full of curiosity about Cheng Xuyuan couldn't help but sigh when he heard what Feng Xiaoxia said: "Cheng Xuyuan, this daughter-in-law, is really blind!"
"I actually mistook real gold for dirt."
"In the end, it benefited others."
…
After discussing with his classmates for a few words, Tao Zisheng said to Feng Xiaoxia: "Xiaoxia, you are so familiar with Cheng Xuyuan, and you are from the same hometown."
"In the future, we must strengthen our contact."
"When we need Cheng Xuyuan's help, we don't need to look for anyone else. You can just come forward."
Feng Xiaoxia wanted to refuse, but somehow, when the words came to her lips, she said, "Okay, I will definitely have more contact with Cheng Xuyuan."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Tao Zisheng said, "After we go back, we'll start working on what Cheng Xuyuan came here to discuss."
"We can take this opportunity to expand the influence of our literary club."
Having said this, he waved his hand vigorously, his expression solemn and full of confidence.
Looking at Tao Zisheng's appearance, Feng Xiaoxia couldn't help but think of Cheng Xuyuan's peaceful and quiet appearance.
She suddenly felt that she still liked Cheng Xuyuan's indifferent look.
