After Melly went offline, I looked at the time, and it was ten past seven, which was the prime time for reading. I sat down at my desk, turned on the old-fashioned lamp, and read the unfinished book "The Tenderness of the Night" (by Francis Scott Kee Fitzgerald). When I was reading, I had a habit of reading a book that I thought was a wonderful passage, and I would read it a dozen times before continuing to read it, and if I felt that there were many wonderful passages in this book, then I would read it many times, just like I wanted to suck the sweet juice out of the sugar cane completely. So sometimes I read books very slowly, and it might take me ten or twenty hours for others to finish something in an hour. At nine o'clock, an hour and fifty minutes passed, and I read 5 pages! I clipped the bookmark in the number of pages I had already read, closed the book and took a break.

There were also a few CDs on the lamp at my desk, which were movies I had rented from the video store downstairs. It was said that it was past the return time, and thinking of this, I got up and put the disc away, ready to go downstairs to return the disc and select a few more films. When I entered the video store, the young man who ran the video store had a greeting smile on his face like a flash of fireworks, instead of "welcome", I nodded in response, and then took out the CDs and returned them, a total of three, I did not ask for a deposit after paying the rent, but continued to select the same number of movie CDs, eliminating the need to return the deposit. I chose and chosen, and finally picked a few old films, "Prague Love", "Laughter in Paradise", and "Dancing with Strangers". I don't know why, from the second year of college to the present (I'm afraid it will be the same in the future), I always want to watch these old movies, and the music I listen to, whether it is domestic ethnic music or foreign country music, jazz, and classical music, does not belong to the content of current pop culture, and most of the names of popular idols that appear in the topic of my colleagues have not even heard of them. I wondered at one point if I was already behind the times? Is it an outcast? Have you entered the situation of premature aging in your thinking? Of course, my self-doubt was thrown out of the sky in a moment.

"No, of course not!" The young man said disapprovingly.

"Oh? Then you also like to watch old movies? I asked, surprised.

"Not really! But my old movies here really look like they're just for you! ”

When the young people say this, I think it is true, this layer of disc shelves is almost full of old movies, every time I come to choose a film, I will find that this layer has not been turned by other people, and even the position distance between the discs has not changed.

"There's no such thing as a classic movie going out of style!" The young man paused as if to put a comma on his point, and then added, "That's why they're here, they've stood the test of time!" ”

I agree with what he said, the reason why classic works are called classics is precisely because they will not be bound by time, and the years can only wash them more and more dazzling! As for whether it is "outdated", it is a matter of concept, and it is nothing more than a different angle of appreciation.

Back at the residence, I saw that Melly sent a message on QQ, but it was offline at this time.

Melly: "Are you there?" ”

Melly: "After I finished reading the exam preparation book today, I also checked the information about kangaroos by the way, kangaroos don't seem to bite people, but their claws can catch people!" And I see kangaroos in many fairy tales, and some people even draw kangaroos as cartoon characters of boxers, which is really an interesting animal! ”

Melly: "Not there? Or slept? ”

Melly: "The kitten is asleep, I'm going to sleep too, good night :)"

I replied:

Me: "I'm sorry, I was downstairs at the video store and just saw your message!" Kangaroos, like your kittens, are fun animals! Kangaroos and kittens, you can also write a fairy tale, just like the bear and the kangaroo you said! Good night! ”

After replying to the message and sending it to Melly, I thought that it was just that I had mentioned kangaroos by accident in a chat with her, and she actually went to look up information about kangaroos! Melly is really like a child sometimes! Simplicity is a valuable quality, but also a danger signal; Simplicity sometimes brings harm to others, and other times simplicity hurts oneself.
