Yu Dong's answer made Liu Changmin's expression froze. He looked at Yu Dong's face, trying to find evidence to prove that Yu Dong was joking, because he felt that this was not something Yu Dong would say.
In Liu Changmin's heart, although Yu Dong usually talks little, he is definitely a person with a broad mind. So he came over excitedly to tell Yu Dong the good news, but he did not expect to get such an answer.
Looking at Liu Changmin's eyes, Yu Dong lowered his head slightly.
He should not have answered Liu Changmin like this. This was entirely out of his selfishness towards the poetry reading club, because in his heart, poetry reading would be a rare way for him to communicate with his old friends, and he did not want other people to interfere with it.
.
But seeing Liu Changmin's expression, Yu Dong knew that his selfishness was not good for his old friends. Unlike him, they had more longings for the poetry reading club and allowed more people to participate in the poetry reading club.
Among them, it was also the common goal for them to get together in the first place.
"What I mean is, whether it is for self-entertainment or for more people to participate, there is nothing wrong with it, as long as we have a pure heart when it comes to poetry." Yu Dongyuan said, and then asked Liu Changmin, "Time
When will it be set?”
Liu Changmin suddenly smiled and patted his thigh: "Let me tell you, why are you talking in a roundabout way? I thought you were not welcome to other people joining the poetry reading meeting. The time was originally scheduled for Sunday afternoon in the No. 1 teaching building
301.”
Seeing Liu Changmin smiling, Yu Dong also laughed. He suddenly felt that his selfishness just now was ridiculous. Isn't that what he wants for his friends to be happy?
"Okay, let's go there together on the weekend." Yu Dong responded.
"Okay, it's settled, I'll leave first. I still have to go back to the office, I have some unfinished business." Liu Changmin stood up and said.
"Pay attention to rest, the work is never finished."
"You are still talking about me, but I see you lighting the lights in your room very late every day."
Yu Dong was speechless for a moment. He did go to bed very late every night. Even when he was not writing, he would read books and newspapers very late.
…
In the afternoon of the next day, Yu Dong went to deliver a letter and stopped by the "Zhongshan" magazine office.
This time he was not empty-handed, but bought some fruits and pastries, and the portions were quite large.
When they arrived at the club, Yu Dong held a bag and greeted: "Everyone, come and have some afternoon tea."
Liu Xuemin, the nearest literary editor, ran over, looked at the contents of Yu Dong's bag, and said with a smile: "Afternoon tea, so foreign."
"Liu Bian, please help me share some. I'm going to find Editor Su." As he said this, he took some fruits and pastries from the bag and prepared to bring some to Su Tong.
Liu Xuemin got off an errand and said with his lips: "Hey, you are quite good at calling people."
"It's not in vain, you can keep the rest for yourself." Yu Dong carried Su Tong's share and walked towards the editor's office.
"What if it's not enough?" Liu Xuemin shouted from behind.
Yu Dong said without looking back: "Then please be aggrieved."
"This guy." Liu Xuemin shook his head and was about to share things with others. He picked up the pastry and took a look at it, shouting: "Oh, the great Saqima of the Three Yuan Dynasty, Teacher Yu is so generous. You guys are in luck."
The office was not big, and Su Tong had left the door open, so he heard the noise as soon as Yu Dong came in.
Seeing Yu Dong coming in with fruits and Saqima, Su Tong smiled and joked, "Why, not long after you got the royalties for "Mending the Sky", you changed your ways to pay it back to the club?"
"Just put it here." Yu Dong put the things on the coffee table and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you want to get something, you must give it to it first."
Su Tong stood up with a smile and walked over, "What are you doing here this time just to give these away?"
"It's really nothing, I just came over to take a look."
Su Tong looked at Yu Dong's eyes seriously, then nodded and said: "That's right. You are so close. It's not a bad thing to come and sit here if you have nothing to do."
"Yeah, so I'm coming over right now."
"Do you have time tonight?" Su Tong took a Shaqima in his hand, opened it and took a bite, "It tastes pretty good."
"What's going on tonight?"
"It's nothing special. If you have time, let's have a meal together. A friend comes over and invites you. The atmosphere is better when we are together. And I wanted to invite you to have a meal together before, but I never had the chance. This time I just happened to do it.
, and it can save me a meal.”
"Your friend, is it appropriate for me to go?"
Su Tong was still chewing Saqima in his mouth, and he smoked another cigarette and lit it. As he chewed, the smoke slowly came out of his mouth and nostrils, giving people the impression that Saqima was in his mouth.
It's burning.
"If I go tonight, won't I be your friend? And even if we don't know each other today, we may still interact with him in the future."
Su Tong's words made Yu Dong even more curious, "Writer?"
"No, you will know when you go there."
"Senior Brother, don't you mean to make me anxious by saying half of what you said?"
"No." Su Tong shook his head: "Life should retain some mystery, otherwise there will be fewer surprises. You should thank me."
He looked at the clock hanging on the wall again and said, "It's past four o'clock, and I still have some work to do. You can either sit by yourself in my office for a while, or go out and chat with other people for a while."
"I'd better go out and chat with them." Yu Dong said.
Su Tong nodded and said, "Yes, I spent money. I went out to say hello and give them a chance to thank them in person."
"That's too shallow, senior brother."
Yu Dong walked out of Su Tong's office with a smile. Several literary editors were gathering together, eating and chatting.
Seeing Yu Dong coming out, they raised the fruits and cakes in their hands and said, "Thank you, Teacher Yu."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Liu Xuemin waved to him, "Come on, let me tell you something."
Yu Dong walked over, and Liu Xuemin gave him an apple: "It's been washed."
"What's going on?" Yu Dong asked as he took the apple.
Liu Xuemin looked at the location of the editor-in-chief's office, lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Ye came over yesterday and almost got into a fight with Editor-in-Chief Su."
"Ye Zhaoyan?" Yu Dong raised his eyebrows with a look of disbelief: "Can they fight?"
"That's why I said it was almost like this..."
Liu Xuemin roughly told what happened yesterday, but he didn't explain it very clearly. Ye Zhaoyan came over and chatted with Su Tong behind closed doors for a while. Then there was a sound of banging on the table, and finally Ye Zhaoyan slammed the door and left.
What he said about "almost starting a fight" was an exaggeration, but Ye Zhaoyan and Su Tong probably had some conflicts yesterday.
