Chapter 547 You two really look like a couple
The train roared along the way, and Cheng Xuyuan felt dizzy from sleep.
He opened his eyes and looked at the dim sky, feeling a little dazed.
"Cheng Xuyuan, are you awake?"
A gentle voice sounded across from Cheng Xuyuan. Hearing this voice, Cheng Xuyuan looked towards Rong Bing who was not far away.
Rong Bing, who was sitting on the berth, was holding a book in her hand, looking very elegant and quiet.
Cheng Xuyuan rubbed his eyes and asked, "What time is it?"
After asking this question, Cheng Xuyuan remembered that he was wearing a watch on his wrist.
Just as he was about to touch his watch, he heard Rong Bing say, "It's almost seven o'clock."
"The sun is about to set."
"The dining car has announced that it's time for dinner. Do you want to go get something to eat?"
Cheng Xuyuan wanted to say that he was not hungry, but his stomach started to rebel.
Only then did I realize that when I came here, I didn’t eat anything because I had too many things to think about.
He smiled and said, "Then let's go eat something. It's my treat."
Rong Bing did not refuse Cheng Xuyuan's offer to treat her. She smiled and said, "Then I'll take advantage of the great writer Cheng for once."
"Anyway, I have contributed royalties to you."
As he spoke, he raised the book in his hand.
Cheng Xuyuan took a closer look and found that Rong Bing was reading the book "Cultural Journey" that he had written.
“What do you think of this book?”
Cheng Xuyuan asked casually.
Rong Bing smiled and said, "Of course it's because it's good. Now it's not just our Shanghai Film Studio. As far as I know, young people in their twenties or thirties who have nothing to do will basically buy a copy of your Cultural Journey."
"Some people say that reading your book can purify people's souls."
Hearing Rong Bing say this, Cheng Xuyuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Rong Bing, that's really too much praise."
"My book has this effect, how come I don't know it?"
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go eat."
"I'm really not complimenting you. Last month I attended two literature reading groups, and what everyone discussed was your cultural journey."
At this point, Rong Bing smiled and said, "You don't know how many people admire you."
"We even found a friend who is good at calligraphy and wrote down our discussion in a letter and sent it to the publishing house."
Cheng Xuyuan's face turned red, and he waved his hand and said, "Rong Bing, we are old friends, so there is no need to flatter me like this."
"Well, I'll treat you to the best meal."
“This time the bleeding was huge.”
Rong Bing smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite. This book cost me more than fifty cents."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan said helplessly: "Rong Bing, the publishing house has earned all this money."
"In my hands, it's just a fixed fee."
Rong Bing said, "Mr. Cheng, please stop crying poor to me."
"I heard that although Harvest gives you a fixed fee, your book has been published in Hong Kong and Xiao Ri Zi."
"What they give you is royalties."
“By the way, many people now say that it is better to have overseas relatives than not.”
"And you can make money overseas, which is many times better than having relatives overseas."
Although Cheng Xuyuan was very sober, he still felt very happy after being praised so much by such a beautiful girl.
He smiled and said, "Let's not praise each other."
"Or I'll tell you how many people I know are your fans."
"Many people have also posted your pictures..."
Cheng Xuyuan felt that this sentence was inappropriate, so he smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go eat."
Rong Bing also knew what Cheng Xuyuan was going to say.
After all, this kind of thing is no secret.
She glared at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Make sure you treat me to something delicious this time."
Although the meals in the train's dining car are a bit more expensive, there is one advantage: you don't need a ticket.
However, not many people eat on the train. Many people bring tea eggs with them when they come, and eat them with hot water when they are hungry.
Some people even just endure it.
Cheng Xuyuan came to the dining car, glanced at the small blackboard hanging in the middle of the dining car, quickly ordered two dishes, and then started eating with Rong Bing.
Although the two people don't interact much, they have collaborated on Love in Lushan after all, so they have no shortage of common topics.
Just as they were chatting like ordinary friends, a young man in his twenties walked over. In fact, he had been looking at Rong Bing since Cheng Xuyuan and the other person came over.
"Excuse me, are you Rong Bing?" There was a hint of expectation in the young man's voice.
Rong Bing faced this situation and said with a smile: "I'm sorry you got the wrong person. I just look a bit like her."
The young man was stunned, then said: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
"It's okay. I'm kind of used to it." Rong Bing chuckled.
Watching the young man leave, Rong Bing said softly to Cheng Xuyuan: "Sometimes not admitting your identity can save you a lot of trouble."
Cheng Xuyuan naturally understood this, so he smiled and said, "I know, this is the trouble of big stars!"
"What big star? I'm just an actor."
Because of the appearance of the young man, Rong Bing's eating speed unconsciously increased.
Cheng Xuyuan and Rong Bing quickly finished their meal and returned to the carriage where they lived.
At this time, there was another middle-aged couple in their forties in the carriage. They were packing their things. When they saw Cheng Xuyuan and Rong Bing coming in, the man was the first to greet them, "Hello, my last name is Wu, this is my wife, we are going to Yanjing."
"Where are you two going?"
Old Wu’s words stunned Cheng Xuyuan, and Rong Bing’s face turned even redder.
Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly said, "Hello, Brother Wu. My last name is Cheng, and this is my friend Ms. Rong. What a coincidence, she is also going to Yanjing."
"As for me, I will go back to my hometown."
Cheng Xuyuan's explanation immediately made Old Wu laugh: "Oh, I'm really sorry, I was wrong."
"But you two really look like a couple."
Old Wu's wife nodded and said, "Young men, don't take it seriously. Old Wu just said it casually."
Before Cheng Xuyuan opened his mouth, Rong Bing said with a smile: "Brother Wu, sister-in-law, it's normal to admit your mistakes."
"Are you going to Yanjing for fun or to visit relatives?"
Old Wu glanced at Rong Bing and said nothing. His wife smiled and said to Rong Bing, "We are going to visit relatives. My family, Old Wu, is from Yanjing..."
The two women were chattering away. After chatting with Cheng Xuyuan for a while, Old Wu took out a book and prepared to read.
He had only taken a look when his wife, who was talking to Rong Bing, said, "The lights on this train are so dim, you should stop reading."
"If your eyes are damaged, I wonder how you will live in the future."
Hearing his wife's nagging, Old Wu reluctantly put down the book and said, "This light is also good for reading."
"It's nice to read a book when you have nothing to do. Didn't you also say that Xu Lingyun's Cultural Journey is very well written?"
After hearing Old Wu's response, his wife said, "Xu Lingyun's books are good, but you can't read them everywhere."
As she was talking, she saw the book Rong Bing had placed on the bedside and said, "Look at Brother Cheng and his friends. They also like cultural tours, but they also read during the day."
Facing Rong Bing's smile, Cheng Xuyuan had no choice but to say, "Brother Wu, reading is a good thing, but if you ruin your eyes because of reading, then that would turn a good thing into a bad thing."
"I think you should wait until tomorrow when the light is better."
Faced with this situation, Old Wu could only put down the book in his hand and said to Cheng Xuyuan: "Brother, you have also read Xu Lingyun's Cultural Journey. What do you think?"
Cheng Xuyuan said helplessly: "Old Wu, I am a rough reader."
“So I read this cultural journey more casually.”
"I think I can still read Cheng Xuyuan's Cultural Journey."
When Old Wu heard Cheng Xuyuan say this, he said solemnly: "Brother, it's not right for you to read books like this."
“When reading a book, you need to understand the essence of the book.”
"Take Xu Lingyun's book for example. What is its essence? It is its understanding of our traditional culture..."
Listening to Old Wu's endless words, Cheng Xuyuan felt helpless, but he had to admit in his heart that Old Wu was really absorbed in reading the book.
What he said is basically consistent with what this book wants to express.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan's appearance, Rong Bing couldn't help but laugh.
She naturally understood why Cheng Xuyuan behaved like this at this time.
Old Wu's wife also saw Cheng Xuyuan's embarrassment, so she interrupted Old Wu with a smile and said, "Old Wu, I'm not your student, I won't listen to your preaching."
At this point, she turned to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Cheng. Our old Wu likes Xu Lingyun's Cultural Journey the most right now."
"You should always talk to everyone you meet."
"He just became a little stupid from studying too much."
Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly said, "Sister, a lot of what Wu Ge said is insightful. I am very happy to hear it."
Time passed little by little as we chatted with each other by chance.
When there was nothing interesting to talk about, Old Wu took out a deck of cards and suggested playing poker.
Since they had nothing to do anyway, Cheng Xuyuan and Rong Bing had no objection to this proposal.
So Rong Bing and Cheng Xuyuan formed a group, and the old Wu couple formed a group to upgrade.
At the beginning, Cheng Xuyuan and Rong Bing were still a little unfamiliar with each other, but gradually, the two of them cooperated very well.
So in the end, even though Cheng Xuyuan and his friend didn't have very good cards, they still won the game.
After the four people, feeling a little tired, put down their cards, Old Wu said to Cheng Xuyuan with emotion: "Brother Cheng, since both of you are not married, I have something to say."
"If you two, who work so well together, could live together as a family, you would definitely be an enviable couple."
"Ha ha……"
Listening to what Old Wu said, Cheng Xuyuan felt quite helpless.
After all, Old Wu and they were just casual acquaintances.
He really couldn't find any reason to argue with the other person's joke! (End of this chapter)
