Chapter 76: Urgent
Yu Dong and Bi Feiyu found a place with few people to sit down and chatted casually for a while. Bi Feiyu suddenly asked Yu Dong: "Do you mind if I smoke?"
"If you don't mind, just smoke it."
Bi Feiyu nodded with a smile, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. Yu Dongchong took a look at the cigarette box. It was a red and white box of Jinju. These cigarettes cost about one or two cents a pack, and they are a relatively affordable brand.
.
Taking out cigarettes, Bi Feiyu first took out one and handed it to Yu Dong. After Yu Dong refused, he lit one himself.
Smoking a cigarette, Bi Feiyu sighed: "Actually, I didn't dare to hand you a cigarette. You didn't take it, but I was relieved."
"How do you say this?" Yu Dong asked curiously.
Bi Feiyu smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "The first time I smoked was when a college classmate passed me cigarettes. At that time, I just entered college. I had eight classmates in the same dormitory, two of whom were regular smokers. Are you a smoker?
, they couldn’t prove their generosity if they didn’t go around for a while while smoking, so they let us non-smokers go one by one. As for me, I was less than twenty years old at the time, and I had just started living in a group, so I was still very fragile.
, considering the future interpersonal relationships, there is no rejection.”
Yu Dong nodded: "Sometimes, people do compromise. This is not a matter of principle, so you later became addicted to smoking?"
In fact, what Bi Feiyu said also reminded Yu Dong of the past. He and Bi Feiyu had similar experiences. When he first entered college, smoking became the most convenient way to integrate into the circle faster.
Later, cigarettes became a necessity in his daily life. He continued to smoke until he became ill and his fear of death defeated his desire for cigarettes, and he finally stopped smoking.
Bi Feiyu smiled and did not continue the topic.
He didn't stir up other topics, he just smoked and looked at the people not far away.
Yu Dong discovered that he liked to look at women, not that he wouldn't look at them unless they were beautiful women or young women. It seemed that as long as they were women, he would observe them carefully.
Sometimes Bi Feiyu would mutter a few words, but he couldn't hear clearly what he said specifically.
Writers like to observe the world, which is the source of creation, because writers want to create all kinds of characters, but there is no way to play these characters, they can only do it through observation.
However, every writer observes the world from different angles and focuses. Some people like to see people, some like to see scenery, some like to see quarrels, and some like to see laughter and slapstick.
Probably Bi Feiyu likes to look at women.
Yu Dong is not too surprised by this. Bi Feiyu's works make people feel that he is very keen on shaping female images, such as Yuyang, Yuxiu, Sanya, Xiaosu, Wu Manling, Dimethoate...just count them.
There are quite a few female characters.
After a while, after Bi Feiyu smoked three cigarettes, he looked at Yu Dong again and said apologetically: "Sorry, I was distracted."
Yu Dong waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, I came here to bask in the sun."
"I have to go." Bi Feiyu stood up, "Next time I have the chance to come to Jinyi to treat you to dinner."
"What's going on when you go back?"
"Well, I still have some work to do."
"What a pity. I originally wanted to invite you to have dinner with me tonight."
"Next time, I'll treat you next time." Bi Feiyu smiled and waved to Yu Dong, then walked towards the exit of the park.
Not long after Bi Feiyu left, Yu Dong also got up and left. The sun was almost shining, and he was going to go to the nearby newsstand to see if there was any latest issue of "Science Fiction World".
After searching five or six newsstands and bookstalls, Yu Dong finally found a copy of "Science Fiction World".
Some were not in stock at all, and some were sold out. Because these newsstands and bookstalls were next to Jinyi, Yu Dong guessed that they were probably bought by students from the school.
In the middle, I met a boss who asked Yu Dong with a strange look on his face: Is "Science Fiction World" very famous recently? Why do people keep asking about it?
Yu Dong replied with an exaggerated expression: What? Boss, are you so behind on information? This magazine is sold out in other places! You should buy more as soon as possible, otherwise all the money will be lost to others.
After a round of deception, Yu Dong walked away, leaving his boss behind who was making up his mind.
After buying "Science Fiction World", Yu Dong looked through it briefly and found that only "Second World" was serialized, and "Closed Loop" was not serialized. It should be listed in the next issue.
He was often critical of the magazine's efficiency. Every time he sent a sample issue, he was like an old cow pulling a broken cart, taking his time.
The sample of the last issue was not sent to him until a few days ago.
But this is not the fault of "Science Fiction World". Many magazines are like this now. They are very slow in sending out sample issues. It is normal for it to take a month after the publication of this magazine to get the sample issue.
It's good to get it. Many people look forward to the stars and the moon. They save money and don't go to the bookstore to buy it, so they just wait for the sample issue. In the end, they never come. It may be lost, or it may be sent to the wrong address, or
It's possible that it wasn't sent at all.
He was about to leave with the magazine when two young boys rushed to the bookstall and asked, "Boss, is "Science Fiction World" out today?"
The boss looked in the direction of Yu Dong, spread his hands and said, "It's unlucky for you to come. The last one was bought by someone else."
The two young boys also noticed the magazine in Yu Dong's hand, with longing in their eyes. After thinking for a while, the leader waved his hand and said, "Let's go on, let's keep looking. I don't believe it anymore. We can't find any of it."
"
Yu Dong looked at their hurried backs, smiled and walked towards the school.
…
"Brother Tao, why is it so hard to buy this magazine today?" Zhu Fu followed Fang Tao to a dozen newsstands and bookstalls. His legs were tired from running and he couldn't help but become a little impatient.
Fang Tao was equally impatient: "Who knows, the magazine next to our school suddenly sold so well for some reason. I thought it would be better here, but I didn't expect it to be the same. It's also our fault for being late. I would have gone out to look for it in the morning."
can have."
"Who knew the new issue would be released this morning? We come out every day to ask, and the boss doesn't even know when it will be released."
"Okay, okay, stop complaining, find the magazine first. Next time I'll tell the boss opposite the school and ask him to leave a copy for me."
"That's great." Zhu Fu's eyes lit up first, and then he doubted: "Can someone be willing?"
Fang Tao rolled his eyes, "If I give him the money in advance, will he still be willing?"
"Yes, yes." Zhu Fu nodded repeatedly and then asked Fang Tao: "Brother Tao, do you think there is still Yu Dong's work in this issue? Aren't you always talking about him?"
"Who knows."
Fang Tao was obviously a man of action. After saying a few words to Zhu Fu, he went on his own and rushed to the next bookstall.
