Chapter 285: Unnamed Lakeside, Raise a Strand of Hair
"I just heard that before, but today I have witnessed it with my own eyes. The sacred and purest academic circle is actually filled with all kinds of smoky mist."
On the way back to the classroom apartment from the conference room, Liu Jingting and Xu Qing sighed.
Xu Qing said without a surprise: "These you have seen are just the tip of the iceberg. The water here is very deep. Let me tell you this. Sometimes, the rules are no less than those in the entertainment industry."
Liu Jingting nodded in agreement.
"But Xiao Liu, you did a pretty job today. Wu Qiguang almost got an internal injury on the spot."
"I'm just very strange. Logically speaking, the higher your knowledge, the more modest you should be. Judging from Professor Wu's behavior, it seems to be the opposite. It seems that he is a big star."
"Have you heard the word academic monopoly?"
"When our literary history professor was in class, he mentioned that the academic field would be divided into schools, and then quarreled with each other and published papers and debated. In short, no one could convince anyone, and no one could convince anyone."
"The debate is still a normal academic discussion, while monopoly means suppressing and excluding dissidents, which means not allowing others to express their opinions. In short, it is very complicated and cannot be explained clearly in one sentence or two sentences."
Liu Jingting curled his lips and said, "Anyway, I won't participate in this kind of meeting in the future."
The two of them walked to the teacher's apartment. After ringing the doorbell, Yang Lilu came down and opened the door. Seeing that the two were chatting so prone, Yang Lilu was slightly stunned, then stepped forward to hold her aunt and asked, "Is the meeting going well today?"
"It's very smooth, go back and talk about it."
Liu Jingting had known that Xu Yuanhuai and his wife were two respected old professors from Yan University. The situation of this visit was different from what we had seen before when we met Gong Yuanhe and Lao Li.
After entering the room, Xu Yuanhuai and his wife stood up from the sofa. Looking at Liu Jingting with a smile, Xu Yuanhuai said, "Welcome Liu Jingting to my house as a guest." As he said 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 invitation."
Yang Lilu, who was standing aside, looked at Liu Jingting's obviously tender but pretended to be sophisticated and mature expression, and then curled her lips, "Grandpa and grandma, let's have a meal."
Xu Qing asked with a smile: "Why don't you call Xiaoliu?"
Yang Lilu said reluctantly: "Liu Jingting, remember to wash her hands first when she was having a meal."
As soon as the five people sat down around the dining table, Xu Qing began to talk about Liu Jingting's conversation with Wu Qiguang at the meeting. After hearing this, Xu Yuanhuai said calmly: "Wu Qiguang is really becoming more and more domineering."
Professor Tang glanced at him and then said to Xu Qing: "Don't look at how calm he is now, but he is actually happy."
No one knows his husband is better than his wife. After Professor Tang finished speaking, Professor Xu smiled and said, "Why am I not happy? I am happy when I think of him being speechless by Xiao Liu in front of many people there."
Liu Jingting smiled embarrassedly and said, "The main reason is that he wants to give me and Aunt Qing a warning, but his methods are too clumsy, and he can't help it for a while."
Professor Xu laughed heartily and said, "After so many years, Wu Qiguang is a bit arrogant."
Professor Tang nodded first, and then said, "Be careful not to stumbling on you later. That man is very cunning."
"What dare he do? He dares to stumbling on Xiaoliu and Xiaoqing. I sue it to the Ministry of Education."
"Don't worry, mom, today's meeting was reported to Uncle Li, and Uncle Li will definitely take care of it," said Xu Qing.
Xu Yuanhuai continued: "Step 10,000 steps back, Xiao Liu is still a student of Wanxiang Lao Kang. No matter how domineering he is, Wu Qiguang, dares to challenge Kang Yuchang?"
Yang Lilu looked around, and finally looked at Liu Jingting, and said carefully: "When he dares to do something bad, you can directly announce it in the micro blog, no matter how famous Wu Qiguang is, can he compare with Gu Yongsheng?"
Liu Jingting habitually blurted out: "This is the first time Banxian, you are praising me so directly."
"So what?"
"Pretended."
Yang Lilu tilted her head and wanted to continue, but Xu Qing intercepted halfway: "Lulu won't praise you in front of her, she will praise you as a flower behind her back."
Liu Jingting looked at Yang Lilu with a smile. Yang Lilu blushed and defended: "Auntie, you are talking nonsense again, just kidding me. When did I praise him in secret?"
"This parents can testify and confront you." Xu Qing smiled and reached out to signal Professor Xu and his wife. The two old men smiled so meaningfully at this time. Yang Lilu became even more embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Eat and eat..."
Professor Tang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Little Liu, you probably don't know. After Lulu came here to study, she would talk to her grandfather about you almost every time she came here. Whenever her grandfather mentioned the shortcomings and deviations in your works or creative choices, she would argue with reason."
"Grandma!" Yang Lilu covered half of her face with her bowl and shouted.
"I won't talk about it and eat." Professor Tang nodded and continued to eat.
If Professor Xu looked at Liu Jingting inadvertently, Liu Jingting smiled slightly, looked at Yang Lilu and said, "Yang Lilu, thank you."
Yang Lilu held the bowl and quickly stewed the rice, ignoring it at all. Xu Qing was so happy.
After dinner, Xu Qing and Yang Lilu volunteered to wash the dishes, while Liu Jingting stayed in the living room to discuss academic issues seriously with the two professors.
"I heard Xiaoqing tell you about your idea of "Journey to the West" and read the beginning of your story. It's very good, and this strategy of using a summary is also used just right. How did you think of it at the beginning?" Professor Xu paid attention to Liu Jingting's expression when he spoke.
"When Grandpa Li handed over the task to me, I was thinking about this. Since he handed over this task to me, he definitely hoped to give full play to my strengths. And when he handed over the task, the chairman of Xingyue was also present and said he would work together. I thought of "Journey to the West", because this story is particularly suitable for adapting TV series and convenient for promotion."
"Tang Monk's intention to obtain scriptures can involve international cultural exchanges, and can talk about personal struggle and pursuit. First of all, the tone of correct views is set. By the way, what is the setting of that stone monkey? Xiaoqing said he is the protagonist?"
Liu Jingting nodded and said, "In the story, the stone monkey Sun Wukong will make trouble in the Underworld Dragon Palace, and in the end, make trouble in the Heavenly Palace. He wants to express the spirit of people who need to know how to resist and pursue freedom, and demands like personality liberation."
"This idea is also very educational." Professor Xu clapped his hands. "First it is to rebel, then reflect, and talk about self-cultivation."
"Um."
"Is there a core tone set?" Professor Xu asked.
"Funity." Liu Jingting answered without hesitation.
"Fun?" Professor Xu's brows were slightly locked, thinking for a while, and was about to express his opinion. Professor Tang continued silently: "I think this is the most important point."
Professor Tang said, looking at her husband and continued, "It seems that Xiao Liu's book "Shuke and Beta" has become a must-read book for children across the country, mainly because of its interest. As for the truth to be conveyed, it is natural."
Liu Jingting nodded in agreement, Professor Xu said "um" and finally gave up trying to persuade. At this time, Xu Qing and Yang Lilu also washed the dishes and came to the living room.
"What are you talking about?" Xu Qing sat down next to Professor Tang and asked.
"Journey to the West."
"It just so happens that Xiao Liu, I'm about to tell you. Because the writing style of your book "Journey to the West" has suddenly changed drastically, I have hired Professor Xu as a senior consultant."
Liu Jingting nodded with a smile.
"After the chat, I'll take you out for a walk and see the night view of Yan University campus."
Professor Xu said: "He and Lulu are studying in Vientiane, and the night view of Yan University campus is probably not new to them."
"It's different." Liu Jingting and Yang Lilu said in unison, and then Yang Lilu couldn't help but feel embarrassed again.
"Okay, you three go out for a walk," said Professor Xu.
...
Xu Qing, Yang Lilu and Liu Jingting walked slowly under the orange street lights of the campus. They chatted casually, mostly Yang Lilu was talking to Xu Qing, and Liu Jingting was relatively quiet on the side. He would only say a few words when he mentioned him.
The three of them walked all the way and passed by a teaching building. Yang Lilu suddenly said something in Xu Qing's ear, and then Xu Qing said, "Then you go, we'll wait for you here."
Yang Lilu nodded and turned around and ran into the teaching building. Xu Qing suddenly walked closer to Liu Jingting and said, "Lulu likes you, do you know?"
Liu Jingting originally wanted to pretend to be stupid, but he nodded honestly in the face of Xu Qing's enigmatic gaze.
"And I love you."
Liu Jingting didn't have to pretend to be stupid, but was really stupid and speechless.
"This summer vacation, did you ask her to take care of you a pot of potted plants?"
"yes."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Her mother said that she has been taking care of the potted pot for the whole summer vacation, and no one wants to interfere."
Liu Jingting was hit lightly.
"When you are in front of you, all her fangs and claws are just a cover-up. Liu Jingting doesn't understand this. Gu Yongsheng cannot not understand. Your affairs are even more important to her than her own affairs. It seems that Huang Rong's faces Guo Jing is the same."
Xu Qing looked at Liu Jingting in a daze and smiled and said, "Don't be so surprised and helpless. I said that our family is free from love, and our elders will not interfere too much."
Liu Jingting nodded and said, "I..."
"She is here." Xu Qing suddenly turned around and faced Yang Lilu as if nothing had happened.
"Auntie, let's go to Weiming Lake." Yang Lilu came over and pulled Xu Qing and said.
"good."
The three of them walked around and arrived at the famous Weiming Lake. As soon as they walked to the lakeside, Xu Qing's phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, Xu Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go there to answer a call."
Yang Lilu and Liu Jingting stood side by side on the lakeside, with nothing to say.
The autumn wind was getting cooler and blew past the lake. Liu Jingting turned his head and saw a wisp of Yang Lilu's hair swaying in the wind under the dim light, swaying on her side, cute and charming. She couldn't help but be stunned. Yang Lilu felt something and turned her head and happened to meet Liu Jingting's focused gaze. She felt inexplicably nervous. The two of them had known each other for so long that he saw him like this for the first time.
The night is intoxicating and can easily soften people's mood briefly.
Yang Lilu thought hard and was about to find something to say, but she heard Liu Jingting say, "You have messed up your hair."
Yang Lilu said "ah" and then whispered: "You, please help..."
Liu Jingting knew the elegance when he heard the strings. He reached out and pulled the strand of hair back, and then said, "It's fine now."
"you……"
