Chapter 498 Xuyuan, it's all because you're too good
In the morning, I was in Donghai, and in the afternoon, I arrived in Yanjing! Although it was a little cold in early spring, the atmosphere of spring was everywhere.
Cheng Xuyuan did not tell Fang Yuqing when he came back this time.
It wasn't that he was afraid that Fang Yuqing would misunderstand something again, but he really didn't want Fang Yuqing to go through the trouble of picking him up again.
After all, he is not returning with honors now.
He was going to take care of the baby being born!
After leaving the airport, Cheng Xuyuan took the subway back to the Overseas Chinese Apartment.
He came quietly, without disturbing a single cloud.
Cheng Xuyuan skillfully opened the door of the Overseas Chinese Apartment and saw a figure mopping the floor.
The moment that person saw Cheng Xuyuan, he was surprised at first, then happy, and tears began to fall from his eyes.
Cheng Xuyuan threw down his luggage casually and then hugged the man in his arms.
…
"Why did you come back just now?" More than an hour later, Fang Yuqing said to Cheng Xuyuan with a complaining look while eating the clear soup noodles she made.
Although Cheng Xuyuan had already explained why he came back late, at this moment, he still said softly: "I don't know what's wrong with Old Xie. He has been dissatisfied with the manuscript I revised."
"So I revised draft after draft. Do you know which draft he was satisfied with in the end?"
After saying this, Cheng Xuyuan secretly apologized to Director Xie in his heart.
There is no other way, now I can only blame Director Xie.
Fang Yuqing asked curiously: "Which draft? Shouldn't it be the last draft?"
"What? He read the manuscripts I revised according to his ideas, and finally said that he still liked the script I wrote the first time."
"So, all the work I did later was in vain."
Cheng Xuyuan stretched out his hand and said, "Because of this, I told Director Xie that if he wants to adapt my novel in the future, I will decide the script."
"Otherwise, I won't serve you."
Listening to this not-so-funny joke, Fang Yuqing stared and said, "Director Xie is simply torturing me."
"Xuyuan, we don't need the money from his script."
"From now on, we won't cooperate with him anymore."
"At worst, we won't make it into a movie."
Hearing Fang Yuqing's angry words, Cheng Xuyuan couldn't help laughing.
He sighed and said, "Old Xie is an old friend after all, but in the future, if he wants to ask me for a script again, we will only write it for him once."
"Okay then." Fang Yuqing said with a smile.
After dinner, Cheng Xuyuan was going to wash the dishes, but in the end Fang Yuqing snatched the bowl away from him.
Sitting on the sofa, Cheng Xuyuan drank tea and asked casually, "Yuqing, is there anything going on at school recently?"
"There's nothing special going on." Fang Yuqing waved her hand and said, "Everyone should go to class or the library as usual."
At this point, Fang Yuqing suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, there was a boy from the law department who confessed his love to Li Yufei in front of many people."
"Not only was I rejected by Li Yufei, but I was also interviewed by the teacher."
Hearing this news, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I remember someone confessed to Li Yufei before. This kind of thing can be considered news!"
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "By the way, you are prettier than Li Yufei. Has anyone confessed to you?"
In terms of appearance, Fang Yuqing and Li Yufei each have their own merits, but when Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing are alone together, he would say that Fang Yuqing is more beautiful.
This is not lying, but beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
As soon as he said this, Fang Yuqing immediately said coquettishly: "Although I am not uglier than Li Yufei, I am not necessarily prettier than her."
"Don't say this outside, people will laugh at you."
At this point, she smiled and said, "Now everyone in the school knows that you and I are engaged."
"So, now in the eyes of the boys in our school, I am a married woman."
After saying this, Fang Yuqing laughed again.
Cheng Xuyuan found what Fang Yuqing said funny and started laughing too.
Talking about school, time passed by unknowingly. Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Fang Yuqing said in shock: "Oh no! I promised my mom that I would go home today!"
After hearing Fang Yuqing's words, Cheng Xuyuan wanted her to stay, but in the end he said, "Then I'll take you back."
"It just so happens that I haven't seen Aunt Meng for a while and I miss her so much."
Fang Yuqing glared at Cheng Xuyuan. She knew that Cheng Xuyuan was lying, but she was still extremely happy in her heart.
Because Cheng Xuyuan wanted to accompany her home.
Although it is spring, it is still a bit cold in Yanjing at night.
Cheng Xuyuan rode the bike with Fang Yuqing, saying as they walked: "Brother Wenfeng said that the bike we saved up has a lot of problems, but it's better to have it than not to have it."
"How about we just buy the car?"
Fang Yuqing put her arm around Cheng Xuyuan's waist and said with a smile, "Why spend so much money on a car? We have bicycles."
"Winter is over now. It would be a waste to have a car."
"Besides, you are already envied by many people. If you buy a car, who knows how many more people will be jealous of you?"
Hearing Fang Yuqing say this, Cheng Xuyuan said nonchalantly: "If they want to be jealous, let them be jealous."
"We are still not going to live because of some people's jealousy."
While the two were talking, the car had already arrived at their home in Shijingshan.
At this time, not only Fang Gengsheng and Meng Fanjin were at home, but even Meng Dezhi, who was usually very busy, was drinking tea and chatting with Fang Gengsheng.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle!" Fang Yuqing was naturally not timid in front of her elders. She greeted them with a smile.
While Meng Dezhi was saying to his niece that he was back, he turned to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "You still remember to come back!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan's heart trembled.
Although he knew that what Lao Meng said was probably a momentary sigh, who made him feel guilty at the moment? "Uncle, I also wanted to come back early, but the script has not been finalized, so I was delayed." Cheng Xuyuan said after calming down.
Meng Dezhi nodded and said, "Scripts need to be refined. After all, they will be in front of countless audiences after they are filmed."
"Although the script is important, Xuyuan, you should not forget your main job."
"In addition to writing, you are still a student. Your main task is to study."
Although he secretly criticized Meng Dezhi, Meng Dezhi said this for his own good, so Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will not lose sight of the big picture."
"It's good that you know." Meng Dezhi said here: "Although your cultural journey has only been published for two issues, it has already attracted the attention of many people."
"I went to a meeting a few days ago, and the leader who presided over the meeting expressed the importance he attached to your cultural tour."
"It encourages us to produce more works like this."
At this point, Meng Dezhi said with a hint of worry: "Xuyuan, how are your preparations for this cultural journey series going?"
"Uncle, I have already planned the rest of the cultural tour."
“You can write it anytime.”
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's words, Meng Dezhi not only did not relax, but said solemnly: "Xuyuan, I think your cultural journey is crucial to your future development."
“So, even if we can’t serialize it on Harvest on time, we can’t reduce the quality.”
Cheng Xuyuan quickly patted his chest and said, "Uncle, don't worry about this. When I write, that kind of situation will never happen."
"That's good." Meng Dezhi said to this point, and then turned to Fang Gengsheng who was sitting next to him and said, "Gengsheng, Cheng Xuyuan is a kid who tends to be proud. You should keep an eye on him."
"Don't be too cocky."
Fang Gengsheng smiled and said, "Brother, you should be the one keeping an eye on Cheng Xuyuan."
"You know I fall asleep when I read novels, let alone prose."
"I feel relieved with you watching over me."
Just as the three were talking happily, Meng Fanjin had already come to the living room with dishes: "Brother, Xuyuan, wash your hands and eat quickly."
Because Meng Dezhi was there, the Fang family's meal not only included several main dishes, but also a bottle of Moutai liquor.
While drinking, Meng Dezhi said to Fang Gengsheng: "I knew that there would be good wine to drink here."
"Then come more often, big brother. During the Chinese New Year this year, Xuyuan bought two boxes of Moutai from the Friendship Store, and I only drank two bottles." Fang Gengsheng said with a smile: "As long as you come to drink, I will make sure you have enough."
Looking at Fang Gengsheng who looked very proud, Meng Dezhi said to Cheng Xuyuan: "Xuyuan, you didn't send me any wine during the New Year!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Uncle, this is not my fault."
"Originally I wanted to send you two boxes of wine, but my aunt said that you can't drink alcohol in the near future, so I didn't send it to you."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan say this, Meng Dezhi felt helpless.
He picked up the wine glass, took a sip and said, "It seems that from now on, I can only drink here."
Just at this time, Meng Fanjin came over with the dishes.
She glanced at Meng Dezhi who was drinking and said, "Brother, sister-in-law is doing this for your own good. It's no good for you to drink so much. You should drink less."
After hearing what his sister said, although Meng Dezhi was unhappy, he could only shut up obediently.
After Meng Fanjin left, Meng Dezhi chatted with Fang Gengsheng for a few words, then said to Cheng Xuyuan, "In two days, there will be an award ceremony for outstanding short stories."
"Remember this, you should honestly go and receive the award this time. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with you, so don't say anything."
Seeing Meng Dezhi so serious, Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely not say anything this time."
Meng Dezhi snorted and said, "This is the best. Making a fortune quietly is what you should do now."
"You've been in the limelight too much. It's time to let others take the spotlight."
At this point, Meng Dezhi pointed at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xuyuan, if you are not envied, you are mediocre. As for you, you are just too outstanding."
After hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan thought to himself that it seemed like this was really my fault.
