Chapter 261: An accidental and inevitable encounter



Chapter 261 An encounter between chance and necessity

On the walls of the Fifth Courtyard, the creepers are lush and green.

When Cheng Xuyuan walked into the Grade 77 classroom, he saw Fang Yuqing writing something seriously.

Fang Yuqing's serious expression made Cheng Xuyuan feel a little moved.

He stood at the door and did not walk over immediately. Instead, he watched Fang Yuqing write quietly.

At this time, someone said, "Master Writer Cheng, what are you doing standing here? Come in quickly."

Hearing this, Fang Yuqing, who was writing something, suddenly looked up and saw Cheng Xuyuan standing at the door, and smiled shyly.

He put down the pen in his hand and ran out quickly.

At this time, Cheng Xuyuan also noticed the person who greeted him and found out that the person was Hong Zicheng, a lecturer in the Chinese Department.

The two chatted a lot, so Cheng Xuyuan mostly treated Hong Zicheng as a friend and rarely treated him as a teacher.

"Hello, Mr. Hong."

Hong Zicheng smiled and said, "Hurry up and talk to Yuqing about whatever you want to say. I have three minutes before class starts! Time is short and the task is heavy!"

The students in the classroom burst into laughter.

Cheng Xuyuan knew that he really couldn't stay here for long, so after Fang Yuqing came out, he quickly said to Fang Yuqing: "Yuqing, I'm having dinner with some fellow countrymen who were admitted to Yanjing tonight, you can come too."

Fang Yuqing wished she could stay with Cheng Xuyuan every day, so when she heard Cheng Xuyuan's invitation, she readily agreed.

"Okay, Teacher Hong is about to start class. I'll leave first." Cheng Xuyuan glanced at Hong Zicheng who was already standing on the podium, turned around and was about to leave.

Fang Yuqing nodded and hurried into the classroom.

However, Cheng Xuyuan's departure was not very smooth.

After walking a few steps, I met Fei Zhengang, the deputy director of the Chinese Department.

When he saw Cheng Xuyuan, he immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng, what are you going to do?"

Although Cheng Xuyuan had never taken a class with Mr. Fei, he still respected him very much. He smiled and said, "Mr. Fei, I'm going to the library to borrow a book."

Borrowing books was not entirely an excuse. Cheng Xuyuan attached great importance to the library of Yenching University. Although he remembered that all the books he had read in his previous life were there, there were still many books in the library of Yenching University that he had not read.

"You can borrow books anytime. It won't be too late." Fei Zhengang said with a smile, "Come, let's walk around the Fifth Academy and see the scenery of our Chinese Department."

Although he didn't know what Fei Zhengang's plan was, Cheng Xuyuan had no reason to refuse the offer of accompanying a teacher.

Walking in the last heat of summer, Fei Zhengang talked about Cheng Xuyuan's new work "Our College Entrance Examination" and gave it a high evaluation.

At first, Cheng Xuyuan didn't take it seriously, thinking that the teacher was discussing the work with him.

But as he listened, Cheng Xuyuan felt that things were not that simple!

It's not that there is any criticism, but the praise is too much.

The teacher said so many good things to the students, what is the purpose...

Just when Cheng Xuyuan began to wonder, Fei Zhengang said, "Xiao Cheng, you are already a famous young writer."

"In the future, your path should also be the path of literature."

"Have you ever thought about coming to our Chinese Department? After all, the Chinese Department is naturally gifted in literary creation and has many advantages."

After hearing what Fei Zhengang said, Cheng Xuyuan was speechless.

Someone had mentioned this to him last semester, but it wasn't too strong, so he turned it down. Now Fei Zhengang is mentioning this to him again, this...

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Teacher Fei, thank you for your appreciation."

"But I really like history, so I appreciate your kindness..."

Cheng Xuyuan did not say the following words, but his attitude was very clear.

Fei Zhengang looked at Cheng Xuyuan who looked troubled and sighed secretly. He felt very embarrassed that the best writer at Yenching University was in the history department.

Cheng Xuyuan's refusal was also expected.

After all, the fact that Cheng Xuyuan was able to write "Things about the Ming Dynasty" is enough to prove that this young man has a deep research on Ming history.

It is not easy for someone who loves history so much to transfer to the Chinese Department.

However, when he saw Cheng Xuyuan, he couldn't help but want to try it.

"Xiao Cheng, I'm just making a suggestion. You don't have to feel any psychological pressure. Haha, come and visit our Fifth Academy if you have nothing to do. There are many things we can discuss together!"

After saying goodbye to Fei Zhengang, Cheng Xuyuan went to the library to borrow two books, and before he knew it, it was evening.

The campus of Yenching University is extremely busy because new students are enrolling and old students are starting the new semester.

When Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing arrived at the Changzheng Hotel, many students had already gathered there.

There were people meeting each other after a long time, and there were also young people who had just met each other. It was very lively.

However, the food everyone eats is very simple. Most people just order fried liver and fried pork with vegetables. A few people gather together to drink beer from thermos.

Those with slightly better conditions would order three or four dishes, even including a serving of expensive beef.

As usual, Cheng Xuyuan's arrival attracted a lot of attention.

"Is that Cheng Xuyuan?"

"Yes, this is Cheng Xuyuan. I heard that he exchanged a book for a house..."

"Who's that next to him?"

Cheng Xuyuan has become immune to this kind of discussion, but Fang Yuqing is a little uncomfortable with it.

Fortunately, most of those who were able to be admitted to Yenching University were proud and arrogant people.

After discussing for a few sentences, everyone will go about their own business.

In just a few minutes, Ma Guangzhong and Wu Xiaoli hurried over.

"Xuyuan, we are late. There was something urgent in the class that asked us to take care of it." Ma Guangzhong became more respectful when he saw Cheng Xuyuan.

Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "You just came to school, so you have a lot to do. Let's have a couple of drinks. Xiaoli, do you want beer or soda?"

Wu Xiaoli's gaze was more focused on Fang Yuqing who was sitting next to Cheng Xuyuan.

In her opinion, Cheng Xuyuan should be very close to her good friend Feng Xiaoxia, and the two of them can be described as a perfect match.

But this woman now is not only prettier than Feng Xiaoxia, but also judging from the closeness between her and Cheng Xuyuan, the relationship between the two seems to be unusual.

"Mr. Cheng...Mr. Cheng, I just need to drink some water."

"Then have some soda." Cheng Xuyuan introduced Ma Guangzhong while speaking: "Guangzhong, Xiaoli, this is my girlfriend Fang Yuqing."

"Yuqing, this is Ma Guangzhong, an educated youth from our village, and also my friend; this is Wu Xiaoli, my friend and fellow villager."

Following Cheng Xuyuan's introduction, Fang Yuqing and Ma Guangzhong exchanged a few polite words, while Cheng Xuyuan walked to the counter and quickly ordered a few dishes.

He now has more than 8,000 yuan in savings, plus he has overseas remittance coupons, so he doesn't have to be as frugal as before when spending money on food.

After ordering a plate of beef, a plate of peanuts and edamame, a portion of fried liver, and a portion of deep-fried soft meat, Cheng Xuyuan ordered four bottles of beer for himself and Ma Guang.

As for the two girls, Cheng Xuyuan asked for a bottle of soda for each of them.

"Guangzhong, welcome to Yanjing." Cheng Xuyuan raised his glass and said.

Looking at the dishes ordered by Cheng Xuyuan, Ma Guangzhong felt touched and emotional.

Although he followed Cheng Xuyuan's footsteps and came to Yenching University, it was very obvious that there was still a big gap between him and others.

Putting aside other things, just from the perspective of eating, Cheng Xuyuan ordered so many delicious dishes without blinking an eye. It was obvious that he was much better off than himself in terms of financial conditions.

Although I receive subsidies from the school, and my family gives me 10 to 20 yuan a month, my living expenses do not exceed 30 yuan. I am not short of food or clothing, but I have to be frugal with my money.

And Cheng Xuyuan...

Apart from anything else, the house that was talked about by countless people was worth at least more than 10,000 yuan! The two drank a glass of beer and started talking about Chengjiazhuang. Hearing that each familiar name had a place to go, Cheng Xuyuan was filled with emotion.

"Xuyuan, there is another student among our educated youths who was admitted to Shuimu this time." Ma Guangzhong said after opening the conversation.

Cheng Xuyuan originally thought that it was already very impressive that there was a Ma Guangzhong in the Chengjiazhuang Youth League Center who could be admitted to Yenching University, but he did not expect that there was another one who could be admitted to Shuimu.

He smiled and said, "Who is it?"

"Please make an appointment later. I'll host a gathering for us."

Ma Guangzhong said hesitantly, "It was Wu Hongmei. I went to see her this morning, but she said she couldn't come tonight because of something."

"He also said that he would treat you to a meal the next time he saw you."

Wu Hongmei and Cheng Xuyuan nodded.

Cheng Xuyuan didn't have much impression of this ordinary-looking girl, but he didn't expect that she could do so well in the exam.

"Okay, let's talk about it next time."

While eating, they talked about their hometowns and soon finished a bottle of beer.

Wu Xiaoli was whispering with Fang Yuqing. Although they were not in the same department, their ages were similar, so they could talk to each other easily.

For Cheng Xuyuan, today is a great back-to-school dinner.

But just when they were chatting happily, they saw the door curtain lifted and a few girls walked in.

The moment these girls came in, they attracted a lot of people's attention.

Except for a girl walking on the side who looks a bit ordinary, the other three girls are all very beautiful, especially the two walking in the middle, who look somewhat similar, giving people a feeling of competition for beauty.

Cheng Xuyuan didn't pay any attention when these people walked in.

But when Ma Guangzhong, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly exclaimed, "Wu Hongmei!"

Cheng Xuyuan turned his head instinctively, and what he saw was not just Wu Hongmei, who he did not have a very deep impression of.

He saw Li Yufei, this is normal!

Then he saw Zhang Dening standing next to Li Yufei! He was also selfless and generous to this editor, but when he saw Zhang Dening, Cheng Xuyuan had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, he saw Shen Yumo again, smiling and talking to Wu Hongmei.

This meeting made Cheng Xuyuan feel helpless.

I encountered this once last semester, how come I encountered it again just after the start of the semester?  Today is the second update, please support me
