156. Promising students (1/3)
There are countless circles in this world, and it is also made up of countless circles.
For example, Li Xiang took Dou Dou and Shi Shi into the maple forest, where the small animals were a circle, and they even recognized Dou Dou and Shi Shi as one of the circle.
There is also the music circle where Li Xiang is located, which is also a circle, a circle of highly evolved human beings. and the literary circle that he stepped into with half a foot.
Because he only stepped into half a foot, Li Xiang didn't think of himself as a person in this circle, and he didn't know much about the information in this circle.
When he wandered outside the literary circle, all kinds of rumors about him circulated in the circle.
If the hottest person in the music circle during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day is Li Xiang, then in mid-to-late October, one of the hottest people in the literary circle must also have Li Xiang.
It's just that whether this Li Xiang is another Li Xiang or not, everyone still doesn't know.
Li Xiang's fame in the music circle is because of a positive song "I Love Your Motherland", and Li Xiang's fame in the literary circle is a novella called "Love Life".
"Love Life" was handed over to Bai Su by Li Xiang in early September, and Bai Su said at that time that he would recommend it to the national literary journal "Times Literature".
Now he has done what he says, and recommended this "Love Life" that he can't put down to the editors of "Times Literature", and the two sides have also had a heated discussion. During that time, Li wanted to go around and activities, and was often not in Shengjing, and Bai Su couldn't make an appointment with him at all, so he only told him on the phone. Li Xiang heard it in his ears at the time, and soon forgot about it.
Before "Times Literature" published "Love Life", they had a heated discussion about Li Xiang internally, guessing where this was sacred, Bai Su didn't say it, and said that when the time came, let Li Xiang introduce himself.
"Times Literature" is a semi-monthly magazine, each time the space is limited, whether "Love of Life" should be published at one time or in two parts, the magazine adheres to two opinions, and finally in order to achieve greater influence, it was decided to publish it at one time.
After the release of this issue of "Times Literature", as usual, the hotline came intensively, but unlike usual, this time it was a hit, and it seemed that everyone was watching "Love Life". This pure literature has no ups and downs, no wild imagination, no tear-jerking plot, just a story of a man's confrontation with nature, as rough as a wasteland, but also as real as a wasteland, infecting countless readers.
Just like its name, love life, and people will feel the preciousness and happiness of life more after reading it.
After Li Xiang came back from "Longing for Life", a few days later, he received a call from Bai Su, informing him that "Love Life" had been published and the magazine had also been released, and asked him if he had paid attention to it.
Ashamed, Li Xiang didn't forget about it at all.
After hanging up the phone, let Gu Qijing go to buy "Times Literature". Gu Qijing had the experience last time, and this time she skillfully found Li Xiang's name again, as well as "Love Life" signed with this name.
She sat in the car and watched it first, and then went upstairs to Li Xiang after calming down.
In the evening, Li Xiang came to a small bar, this is not the kind of deafening bar in the bar street, but a quiet bar opened in the living area, the area is small, there are not many people, but quiet, the decoration is not gorgeous, full of life, the price is affordable, and most of the customers who come are residents who live in the surrounding area.
It's one of the many bars hidden away in the big city of Shengjing, and it's unremarkable.
Compared with those gorgeous big bars, these small bars of life are the places that really carry the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the people, and the former is just a place to vent.
Li Xiang wore a hat and pushed open the wooden door and walked in, stepping on the strip floor creaking, the gap between the wooden planks was a little large, and the whole was quite clean. Standing behind the bar was a chubby aunt, who glanced at Li Xiang, said that he was coming, then lowered his head and continued to wipe the wine glass, everything seemed extremely casual and kind.
Bai Su asked him to meet in this place, and Li Xiang was a little surprised.
In Li Xiangxiang's mind, shouldn't Bai Su, a high-level intellectual, go to some high-end places!
He found Bai Su in the corner, who was drinking with his head down.
"Here" Bai Su heard the movement, and looked up at Li Xiang who was sitting opposite, his face was a little red, and there were two bottles of wine without a logo on the small wine table, one bottle was empty, and the other bottle was in Bai Su's hand, and there didn't seem to be much left.
"Lao Bai has already drunk a lot, and he can't let him drink anymore. The aunt standing behind the bar came over, and Li Xiang realized that she had a floral pattern apron tied around her waist, her waist really looked like a protruding wine barrel, and this apron was like a small trademark attached to the wine barrel.
"It's still early, I'm not going to get drunk. Bai Su said to her. Except for his face being a little red, his hair was not messy, he was very stylish, and the clothes on his body were neat and tidy, and he really didn't look like he was going to get drunk.
The aunt said, "I won't give you any more wine anyway," and then asked Li what he wanted.
Lee asked for a bottle of soda. He could have drunk some wine, but after being severely criticized by Lin Qingyu once, he stopped drinking it for fear of affecting his throat.
"Good boy. The aunt smiled and praised Li Xiang, turned around and left to get soda.
"Give me another bottle of Big Bear. Bai Su shouted at the back of the eldest aunt.
"Nope. The eldest aunt said without looking back.
Bai Su muttered a few words, and then seemed to remember that he was not alone today, sitting opposite Li Xiang, and said a little embarrassedly: "I drank for the first time this month." ”
Li Xiang only said something that he could understand, and it was not easy to say anything else.
When he saw that Li Xiang only drank water, he said, "I won't persuade you to drink, it's not good to drink." ”
Then he changed the subject and said, "The response has been very good. ”
Li Xiang was stunned, and then understood that what he said was that the response to "Love Life" was very good.
In fact, Bai Suyo Li wanted to come tonight to talk about this matter. Li wanted to be busier than him, and it was not easy to see him at school, so he made an appointment at this time and place.
The two chatted casually, and unconsciously passed more than an hour.
Li Xiang actually had very little contact with Bai Soda, only had a brief exchange at the last school symposium, and then met twice later, and chatted briefly, but there was no other contact.
It was the first time they had talked for so long. He found that Bai Su was very knowledgeable, he could pick up any topic, he could talk about anything, and he could even chat with Li Xiang in English with a big tongue, and even singing, he was really a versatile old man.
Yes, he has a big tongue. Although the aunt at the bar didn't give him wine, the two bottles on the table were enough to put him down.
Da Xiong was full of energy, Bai Su could still be calm at first, but he couldn't do it in the back, he spoke with a big tongue, and the phone in his pocket rang for a long time and didn't know how to answer.
"Don't let you drink it, don't drink it, you're drunk again, if your son and wife know, see how you explain it......" The aunt at the bar nagged, and it could be seen that she cared about Bai Su.
Bai Su said with a smile that he was happy tonight, and at the same time introduced Li Xiang solemnly, saying that this was his student, a promising student.
I was not drunk before, but now I am drunk, and the words in my heart are all revealed.
