Chapter 285: On the shore of the unnamed lake, a strand of hair
"I only heard about it before, but today I have seen it with my own eyes, and the academic circle, which should be the most sacred and pure, is also filled with all kinds of black smoke and miasma. ”
On the way back to the classroom apartment from the conference room, Liu Jingting sighed with Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was surprised and said: "What you have seen is just the tip of the iceberg, the water in it is very deep, let me tell you this, sometimes, the rules are not inferior to the entertainment industry." ”
Liu Jingting nodded in agreement.
"But Xiaoliu, you did too much beautiful today, Wu Qiguang was almost suffocated into internal injuries on the spot. ”
"I'm just very strange, it stands to reason that the higher the academics, the more modest people should be, looking at Professor Wu's style, it seems to be the opposite, as if he is a big star. ”
"Have you ever heard the term academic monopoly?"
"When our professor of literary history was in class, he mentioned once that the academic field would be divided into schools, and then they would quarrel with each other and publish papers and debates, in short, no one would be convinced, and no one would be able to convince anyone. ”
"Controversy is still a normal academic discussion, while monopoly has the meaning of suppressing and excluding dissidents, that is, not allowing others to express their opinions, in short, it is very complicated, and it is not clear in one sentence or two. ”
Liu Jingting pouted and said, "Anyway, if you don't participate in this kind of meeting in the future." ”
The two walked to the teacher's apartment as they spoke, and after ringing the doorbell, Yang Lilu came down to open the door, and seeing that the two were chatting so speculatively, Yang Lilu was slightly stunned, and then stepped forward to hold her aunt and asked, "Is it smooth to have a meeting today?"
"It's very smooth, go back and talk about it in detail. ”
Liu Jingting knew that Xu Yuanhuai and his wife were two highly respected old professors of Yan University. During this visit, the situation was different from the previous meeting of Gong Yuan and Lao Li.
After entering the house, Xu Yuanhuai and his wife got up from the sofa. Looking at Liu Jingting with a smile, Xu Yuanhuai said, "Welcome Liu Jingting to my home." Saying that, he stretched out his right hand, Liu Jingting hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Professor Xu, and smiled: "Thank you, Professor Xu, Professor Tang for the invitation." ”
Yang Lilu, who was standing on the side, looked at Liu Jingting's obviously immature but pretending to be sophisticated and mature expression, pursed her lips, and then said, "Grandparents, auntie, let's eat." ”
Xu Qing smiled and asked, "Why don't you call Xiaoliu?"
Yang Lilu said reluctantly: "Liu Jingting eats." Remember to wash your hands first. ”
As soon as the five of them sat down around the dinner table, Xu Qing began to tell about Liu Jingting's battle against Wu Qiguang at the meeting, and Xu Yuanhuai listened. said calmly: "Wu Qiguang is really getting more and more domineering. ”
Professor Tang glanced at him, and then said to Xu Qing: "Don't look at him so calm on his face now, in fact, his heart is happy." ”
Knowing the husband is not the wife, Professor Tang finished speaking. Professor Xu smiled: "Why am I not happy. I was happy to think that he was dumbfounded by Koyanagi in front of many people there. ”
Liu Jingting smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "The main thing is that he wants to give me and Aunt Qing a horse, but the means are too clumsy, and I can't hold back for a while." ”
Professor Xu laughed heartily and said, "After so many years of smooth sailing, Wu Qiguang is a little self-respecting. ”
Professor Tang nodded first, and then said, "Later, you should also be careful not to stumble on you." The man's city was very deep. ”
"How dare he? If he dares to make a stumbling block for Xiaoliu and Xiaoqing, I will sue the Ministry of Education. ”
"Don't worry, Mom. The matter of today's meeting was reported to Uncle Li, and Uncle Li would definitely take care of it. Xu Qing said.
Xu Yuanhuai continued: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, Xiaoliu is still a student of Lao Kang in Vientiane, no matter how domineering he Wu Qiguang is, dare to argue with Kang Yuchang?"
Yang Lilu looked around, and finally locked her eyes on Liu Jingting, and said thoughtfully: "When he dares to make a mistake, you can directly announce it in the micro blog, no matter how big Wu Qiguang is, no matter how famous he is, can he compare to Gu Yongsheng?"
Liu Jingting habitually blurted out: "It's the first time that you've praised me so directly, half-immortal." ”
"So what?"
"I'm flattered. ”
Yang Lilu tilted her head to continue, Xu Qing intercepted halfway: "Lulu doesn't praise you in front of you, she has already praised you as a flower behind her back." ”
Liu Jingting looked at Yang Lilu with a smile, and Yang Lilu defended with a red face: "Auntie, you are talking nonsense again, making fun of me, when did I praise him behind my back?"
"This father and mother can testify and confront each other face to face. Xu Qing smiled and stretched out her hand to signal Professor Xu and his wife, the two old men laughed so meaningfully at this time, Yang Lilu was even more embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Eat, eat, eat, eat......"
Professor Tang shook his head with a smile and said, "Xiaoliu, you probably don't know that after Lulu entered Vientiane to study, almost every time she came here, she had to talk to her grandfather about you, and whenever her grandfather mentioned the shortcomings and deviations in your works or creative choices, she had to fight for it. ”
"Grandma!" Yang Lilu called out as she covered half of her face with a rice bowl.
"Okay, let's not talk about eating. Professor Tang nodded and continued to eat.
Professor Xu looked at Liu Jingting casually, Liu Jingting smiled slightly, looked at Yang Lilu, and said, "Yang Lilu, thank you." ”
Yang Lilu held the bowl and quickly pulled the rice, ignoring it completely, Xu Qing was so happy on the side.
After eating, Xu Qing and Yang Lilu took the initiative to ask Ying to wash the dishes, while Liu Jingting stayed in the living room to seriously discuss academic issues with the two professors.
"I heard Xiaoqing talk about your thoughts on "Journey to the West", and I also read the beginning of your story, which is very good, and this strategy of overseeing the point is also used just right, how did you first come up with it?" Professor Xu looked at Liu Jingting's expression when he spoke.
"When Grandpa Li handed over the task to me at that time, I was thinking about it, since he handed over this matter to me, he must be hoping to give full play to my strengths, and when the task was handed over, the chairman of Xingyue was also present and said that they would work together, so I thought of "Journey to the West", because this story is especially suitable for adapting TV series and facilitating promotion. ”
"Tang Seng's idea of learning scriptures is good, it can involve international cultural exchanges, you can talk about personal struggle and exploration, first of all, the tone of the three views is set, by the way, what is the setting of the stone monkey, Xiaoqing said that he is the protagonist?"
Liu Jingting nodded and said, "The stone monkey Sun Wukong in the story will make trouble in the Dragon Palace in the underworld later." In the end, he made a big fuss in the heavenly palace, which is to express the spirit of people who know how to resist and pursue freedom, similar to the emancipation of individuality. ”
"It's also very educational. Professor Xu clapped his hands. "First reverse, then introspection, talk about self-cultivation. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Is there a core tone?" asked Professor Xu.
"Fun. Liu Jingting replied without hesitation.
"Interesting?" Professor Xu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and was about to express his opinion, but Professor Tang, who had been silent, continued: "I think this is the most important point. ”
Professor Tang glanced at her husband as he spoke, and continued, "It looks like Xiaoyanagi's book of "Shuke and Beta" of yours. The main reason why it can be popularized throughout the country and become a must-read book for children is its interest. As for the truth to be conveyed, it is a matter of course. ”
Liu Jingting nodded in agreement, and Professor Xu gave an "um" and finally gave up the persuasion attempt. And this time. Xu Qing and Yang Lilu also finished washing the dishes and came to the living room.
"What are you talking about?" asked Xu Qing as she sat down next to Professor Tang.
"Journey to the West. ”
"It just so happens that Xiaoyanagi was about to tell you that due to the sudden change in the style of your book "Journey to the West", I have hired Professor Xu as a senior consultant. ”
Liu Jingting smiled and nodded.
"After chatting, I'll take you out for a walk and see the night view of the Yan University campus. ”
Professor Xu said: "He and Lulu are studying in Vientiane, and the night view of the campus of Yan University is probably not new to them. ”
"It's not the same. Liu Jingting and Yang Lilu said in unison, and then Yang Lilu was inevitably embarrassed again.
"That's good. You three go out for a walk. Professor Xu said.
……
Xu Qing, Yang Lilu, and Liu Jingting walked slowly under the orange street lamps on campus, chatting with each other. Yang Lilu was mostly talking to Xu Qing, and Liu Jingting was relatively quiet on the side, and when he was mentioned, he would only answer two sentences.
The three of them strolled all the way, passing by a teaching building, Yang Lilu suddenly said something in Xu Qing's ear, and heard Xu Qing say: "Then you go, we will wait for you here." ”
Yang Lilu nodded and turned around and ran into the teaching building, Xu Qing suddenly took a step closer to Liu Jingting and said, "Lulu likes you, you, you know?"
Liu Jingting originally wanted to pretend to be stupid, but in the face of Xu Qing's gaze, he nodded honestly.
"And, I love you. ”
Liu Jingting didn't have to pretend to be stupid, but he was really stupid, and he was speechless.
"This summer, did you ask her to take care of a potted plant for you?"
"Yes. ”
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Her mother said that she had been taking care of the potted plant all summer vacation, and no one was allowed to interfere." ”
Liu Jingting was lightly hit.
"In front of you, all her teeth and claws are just a cover-up, Liu Jingting doesn't understand this, Gu Yongsheng can't not understand it, your affairs are even more important to her than her own affairs, as if Huang Rong is facing Guo Jing, it is a truth. ”
Xu Qing looked at Liu Jingting who was in a daze, and said with a smile: "Don't be so surprised, I said earlier, our family is free to fall in love, and the elders don't interfere too much." ”
Liu Jingting nodded and said, "I ......"
"She's coming. Xu Qing suddenly turned to face Yang Lilu as if nothing had happened.
"Auntie, let's go to Weiming Lake. Yang Lilu walked over and pulled Xu Qing and said.
"Good. ”
The three of them went all the way around and came to the famous Weiming Lake, and just walked to the lakeside, Xu Qing's phone suddenly rang, and when she saw the caller ID, Xu Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go over there to answer a call." ”
Yang Lilu and Liu Jingting stood side by side by the lake, speechless.
The autumn breeze is getting cooler, blowing from the lake, Liu Jingting turned his head and saw that under the dim light, Yang Lilu's hair was swinging in the wind, swaying on the side face, cute and moving, I couldn't help but look stunned, Yang Lilu felt something, turned her head sideways, and happened to meet Liu Jingting's focused gaze, inexplicably panicked, the two have known each other for so long, and he looked at himself like this for the first time.
The night is intoxicating, and it is easy to soften people's minds for a short time.
Yang Lilu thought hard and was about to find something to say, but she heard Liu Jingting say: "You, your hair is messy." ”
Yang Lilu let out an "ah", and then said in a low voice: "You, you help ......"
Liu Jingting heard the strings and knew what he meant, stretched out his hand to pull the strand of hair back, and then said, "It's okay now." ”
"You ......"
Liu Jingting had just straightened Yang Lilu's hair, and Xu Qing happened to call back, and when she saw this scene, she looked at the two with a complicated expression. (To be continued......)
