1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 314 Actually... I'm just here to collect eggs

4:20 pm.

The exchange meetings between writers and American scholars were not terminated by the leaders' farce; they are still continuing.

Although it was an exchange, it was more about American scholars explaining in detail the mature genres that are popular in the West today, the creative concepts of stream of consciousness, magical realism, and more importantly, the theories of critical appreciation.

During the event, Wang Anyi, who was on stage, also talked about Mr. Wang Meng's stream-of-consciousness novel "Voice of Spring" written this year, which surprised the scholars at the University of Pennsylvania a little and they expressed their affirmation.

It allowed many people to stand up straight.

The teachers and students from various schools in the audience only understood half of what was said, but they still enjoyed it very much.

"Stream of consciousness is already a mature genre in the West. Judging from the introduction of scholars from the University of Pennsylvania, we are lagging far behind. And Mr. Wang Meng's stream of consciousness work "The Voice of Spring" has been criticized by the literary world since it was published in May..."

The seat by the window is the best, Jiang Zilong rested his chin on his hand and thought.

"After all, we have only just started the reform and opening up a few years ago, so let's take it slow. After today's analysis by these scholars from Penn, I found that I am quite interested in structuralist theory."

Wang Anyi smiled. Her mother visited abroad all year round. Under her mother's guidance and words, she had a good understanding of various Western literary genres and was very interested in them.

Otherwise, he would not have written "Xiao Bao Zhuang", a work that deconstructs Confucian ethics.

Ye Xin nodded, "We can't write about these things. In fact, we haven't read enough and studied enough. After all, we are not familiar with them."

"Doesn't that mean we're all starting from the same starting line?"

At this moment, there was a sound of someone sitting down behind me.

This exchange meeting lasted for a whole day. Although many people found it novel, it was too long after all. Some people chose to leave in the middle, leaving many seats empty.

Cheng Kaiyan had just come in from the back door of the auditorium and saw the three of them at a glance, so she took Liu Xiaoli and Jiang Ting to sit behind them.

The sudden words made the three of them turn their heads subconsciously.

"Cheng Kaiyan? You're here?"

Asked in unison.

"Were you brought here by Xiao Jianshan?"

Jiang Zilong frowned, feeling disgusted by Xiao Jianshan's remarks.

"I came here for something. He just came to see me, but I ignored him."

Cheng Kaiyan shook her head.

"That's good. You don't even know that he just criticized you and Professor Jiang in front of so many people, saying that you two are unorganized and undisciplined..."

The other two also looked at him with concern and told him in detail what had just happened.

Cheng Kaiyan nodded calmly to indicate that she understood.

"What a horrible person!"

But Liu Xiaoli, who was standing next to him, clenched her fists in anger.

After all, Xiao Jianshan had offended the two most important people in her heart at once, so how could she not be angry?

"Don't be impatient."

Jiang Ting patted her niece on the back.

"Is this session over? When will the quiz with prizes begin?"

Cheng Kaiyan glanced at a few acquaintances from the writers' class on the stage and changed the subject.

He was too lazy to dwell on this matter.

Because he has already made a plan, he should be able to resolve this matter soon.

"Almost, let's start at five o'clock."

Jiang Zilong thought about it and replied.

"I have something to do. I'll be back later."

Cheng Kaiyan nodded.

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli and Jiang Ting seemed to realize something. They looked up at Cheng Kaiyan with hesitant expressions on their pretty faces.

"I'll be right back. Just wait for me for a while."

Cheng Kaiyan reached out and patted them on the shoulders, then turned and left.

"What did Cheng Kaiyan do?"

"Maybe he went to see the leader?"

Jiang Ting explained in a cold voice.

With less than an hour left to the end, this time is indeed the best time.

As long as Professor Ansel still wants to see Xiaoyan...

……

The backstage lounge of the auditorium.

At this time in the huge lounge.

There were quite a few people sitting on the sofa, including Principal Wang, the secretary, the vice principal and others.

And Xiao Jianshan, who was sitting on the sofa with a pale face and in a daze.

"So Cheng can't come today?"

Professor Ansel looked at Principal Wang with some disappointment.

Perhaps coming to China for exchanges is not just because of Cheng Kaiyan.

But the reason I came to Beijing Normal University was indeed because of Cheng Kaiyan.

He was a little disappointed that he didn't see her today.

"I'm sorry, you may not be able to see him today, but I'm sure you'll be able to see him tomorrow."

Principal Wang said to Professor Ansel with an apologetic look on his face.

He now only hopes that this professor from a prestigious university has not ended this exchange so hastily.

"OK then."

Professor Ansel sighed and quickly calmed down.

While you are here, there is no need to rush.

"do not worry!"

Principal Wang breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Xiao Jianshan.

It’s all this bastard’s fault. If Penn really ended its visit to Beijing Normal University hastily because of this incident, he would never forgive Xiao Jianshan.

Principal Wang's eyes were full of emotions, and even Xiao Jianshan, who was desperate, felt his heart tremble a little.

Just now.

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The door opened with a click, and a tall, handsome young man appeared in front of everyone.

For a moment, everyone's eyes looked over there.

"Comrade Xiao Cheng?"

Director Fang and Principal Wang shouted in unison, then looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"It's him?!"

Professor Ansel's eyes widened. He was stunned for a moment, and a picture flashed through his mind.

This, isn’t this the young man I accidentally saw at Peking University that day?
"You weren't going to come! Why are you here again now?!"

Xiao Jianshan stood up suddenly and shouted with surprise and some grievance.

Cheng Kaiyan didn't bother to pay attention to him, didn't even look at him, and walked into the room.

"Comrade Cheng Kaiyan, you are finally here. Come, let me introduce myself. This is Professor Ansel."

Principal Wang came over with a smile on his face. His voice was as gentle as a spring breeze. He patted Cheng Kaiyan on the shoulder and introduced:

"You may not know that Professor Ansel came to Beijing Normal University just for you. It's because of you that Beijing Normal University is more powerful than Tsinghua University!"

Is this professor here for himself?

Cheng Kaiyan was also a little surprised to hear this. After thinking for a few moments, he said modestly, "Haha, the principal is being too kind. I don't have such a big face."

"hehe."

Principal Wang looked at the young man in front of him. Seeing his humble attitude and polite manners, he felt a sense of shame and accommodation in his heart.

All in all, it has been nearly half a month since Xiao Jianshan started to make things difficult for the two of them.

However, he, the principal, only learned about the incident this afternoon. If Professor Ansel had not specifically asked to see Cheng Kaiyan, he probably would not have noticed that such a thing had happened.

Thinking of this, he sighed and patted Cheng Kaiyan on the shoulder. "Comrade Cheng Kaiyan, you and Professor Jiang have been wronged during this period. Don't worry, we at Beijing Normal University will definitely give you an explanation! I promise you in the name of the president of Beijing Normal University."

"Ah."

Cheng Kaiyan was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

What else can he say now?

After dealing with Principal Wang, Cheng Kaiyan looked at Professor Ansel, smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Professor, I have heard of your name for a long time. I am Cheng Kaiyan."

Professor Ansel looked at the young man in front of him whom he had met once.

He has a tall and slender figure, handsome features, and a calm temperament that reveals a sense of alienation that makes him feel out of tune with the world.

He was amazed, and couldn't help but think of that work in his mind, and exclaimed:
"Oh my god, you are just the perfect match for the protagonist in "Submarine at Night". I'm Ansel Stephens, and I'm glad to finally meet you, Cheng!"

“Have you seen my work?”

Cheng Kaiyan looked at the professor from the prestigious university in surprise. With all the information coming together, he finally understood what was going on.

"Of course, I am a big fan of your books."

Professor Ansel nodded with a smile.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries and talked about Cheng Kaiyan's two works. For a moment, the sense of distance and unfamiliarity they had when they first met slowly melted away. Principal Wang, Secretary Fang and others also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the two of them were having a good chat.

So we would smile and say a few words from time to time.

Xiao Jianshan, who was standing aside, was full of doubts and had no place to vent. Didn't he say that this kid couldn't come?

What else is it none of his business...

Why are you here now?
Xiao Jianshan really wanted to ask, but everyone was chatting enthusiastically and he was left aside.

After a while, Xiao Jianshan felt the sourness coming from the eyes that were fixed on them. He finally couldn't help but ask, "Cheng Kaiyan! Didn't you say you couldn't come?! Why are you here again?"

Cheng Kaiyan glanced back but still ignored him.

Xiao Jianshan's face immediately turned red, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Say something the fucking way!!"

"Actually... I'm just here to collect the eggs, hehe! Don't you know there's a quiz with prizes today?"

Cheng Kaiyan scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Get the eggs?"

"grass!!"

A surge of blood rushed to his brain, drowning Xiao Jianshan's reason, and he cursed to the sky.

Then everything went black and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Hurry up!"

"I'm so angry! Hurry up and save him!"

Xiao Jianshan was so angry that he fainted. The lounge suddenly became a mess and everyone rushed over.

Professor Ansel swallowed his saliva and looked at the Vice President Xiao Jianshan lying on the ground with some horror. For a moment, he was filled with mixed feelings. He opened his mouth for a long time and finally uttered:
"Cheng...you are such an interesting person."

"Haha... I just have a little bit of childishness."

Cheng Kaiyan smiled a little embarrassedly and explained with a slightly blushing face.

"call……"

Professor Ansel saw this scene and was speechless about this young talented writer.

childlike innocence?

In my opinion, it is a devil's heart!

It makes people so angry!

Although he was complaining in his heart, Professor Ansel found it quite interesting.

Perhaps the reason why this young man can write such excellent children's literature is because of his childlike innocence?

Yeah, that's what genius is.

He is right!
Professor Ansel brainwashed himself in this way.

Fortunately, Cheng Kaiyan didn’t know what the professor was thinking, otherwise she would have laughed out loud.

"Professor, it's getting late. I won't stay any longer."

Cheng Kaiyan raised her hand to check the time and apologized.

"It's okay. Although I really want to talk to you about your work and your creative journey, the writers' exchange has indeed ended. Let's talk about it tomorrow and find a good place to chat alone."

Professor Ansel nodded regretfully and invited in a very gentle tone.

"No problem, Professor."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Participate in the quiz and win eggs?"

"what?"

Are you serious?
Professor Ansel widened his eyes and watched Cheng Kaiyan's back as she left, becoming more certain of his previous guess.

……

……

"Kai Yan, you're finally back!"

After leaving the backstage, as soon as Cheng Kaiyan returned to her seat, her boyfriend came over with a smile, and there was a hint of excitement in his soft voice.

"What's wrong?"

"You didn't see it just now, but your vice-president Xiao Jianshan fainted and was carried away. It was so satisfying! I don't know who made him so angry, but evildoers will always be punished by evildoers!"

Liu Xiaoli tilted her little face up and told her boyfriend the good news with a smile.

As he spoke, he waved his fist.

"Cough cough."

Cheng Kaiyan coughed lightly, looked down at her boyfriend's pretty face which was flushed with pink, and said in a complicated tone: "Is it possible? I mean it's possible...I was the one who made him faint."

Liu Xiaoli showed an awkward smile on her face and lowered her head and stammered, "So..."

"So I am the evil person you are talking about."

"Well... don't be angry, I was wrong."

The girl blinked, put her arms around Cheng Kaiyan, held her tight in her arms, and rocked her gently.

Even through the thick clothes, Cheng Kaiyan could still feel the softness of the girl's body.

I have to say, Sister Xiaoli is so cute when she acts like a spoiled brat.

"It won't happen again."

"Thank you, Comrade Xiao Cheng."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli smiled sweetly.

Then he let go immediately, as if nothing had happened.

Cheng Kaiyan: “…”

This girl has changed a lot. She has even learned how to coax people.

Sure enough, women are unpredictable.

The quiz contest officially started at five o'clock, and it was getting dark.

But outside the window it was all white and bright.

At this time, Cheng Kaiyan finally went on stage to participate in the quiz with prizes. With her excellent memory and correct answers, she successfully received a pot of peanut oil and a bag of white flour.

Liu Xiaoli made two mistakes when she went on stage, and came down with a bitter face. She only received a bag of ten eggs.

My aunt got all the answers right and received a bag of rice and a pound of pork.

If you get all the answers right, you can receive two prizes.

Rice, flour, grain, oil, plus a pound of pork.

The family of three returned home with a full load.

But there was a new problem: the snow was so heavy that the roads were closed.

"So how am I going to get back later?"

Cheng Kaiyan held all the things in both hands, looked at the thick snow, and asked with a frown.

"Xiao Yan, please go back, otherwise it will be dark soon."

Jiang Ting crossed her arms and suggested in a cold voice.

"It's hard to walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Kaiyan, why don't you find a sled and paddle back?"

Liu Xiaoli was so cold that she put her hands in her sleeves and spoke thoughtfully.

"Do you want to hear what hell joke you are talking about? One of you told me to walk back, and the other told me to row back..."

Cheng Kaiyan looked at her hands exposed in the wind and snow. Her hands were pale and the blood vessels were blue and purple due to the biting wind.

In his hands were bags of briefcases, kettles, flour, rice, oil and pork belonging to the two cruel women.

"Oh... I can't help but laugh."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head in disappointment and spoke in a dull tone.

"Ah."

The beautiful woman nodded seriously.

"you!"

"Who did you learn this from? Why are you so poor?"

Cheng Kaiyan questioned.

But the two ignored him. Instead, they turned their heads at the same time and gave him a coquettish and angry look in perfect sync.

"Aunt? Sister Xiaoli, wife! Say something!"

Cheng Kaiyan's tone paused, and then he let out a long breath, and white mist quickly condensed in the air.

For a moment, he finally understood how Xiao Jianshan felt when he fainted from anger.

Damn cold violence!

"Stop shouting! Hurry up and follow me. I won't chase you away, okay?"

Liu Xiaoli turned her back to Cheng Kaiyan, feeling embarrassed, and shouted while covering her hot and flushed face.

She didn't notice that there was something wrong with Cheng Kaiyan's words.

But the beautiful woman walking in front heard it clearly.

Even though she was walking on thick snow and facing the cold, howling north wind, it couldn't hide her beautiful face that was as red as blood.

"Wife? Us?"
