Chapter 1741: Chatty Lin Dongzhe, Fan Li Jia
In a small restaurant near the bus station, Zhou Chen looked at Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei who were wolfing down their food.
"Didn't you say you had already eaten? What does that mean?"
Lin Dongzhe swallowed the food with great effort, drank a sip of water, and laughed embarrassedly: "Brother Tuxi, you can't blame us. We had a meal on the road, but the food there was not delicious at all. The food here is still delicious, and seeing you, I have an appetite too."
Xiang Pengfei nodded in agreement: "I have followed the car several times. The restaurants on the road are actually acquaintances of the driver. The driver will take us there to eat every time. The food is really not delicious, just to fill his stomach."
Zhuang Tunan heard it and immediately widened his eyes and stared at Xiang Pengfei.
"How many times have you followed the car? When did your parents know?"
Xiang Pengfei realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and explained awkwardly: "Only twice, on weekends, I didn't go far, just half a day to go back and forth."
"You kid, and you, Lin Dongzhe, you two will be in trouble when you go back."
Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei were just a little nervous, but they were optimistic by nature and soon forgot about it.
Zhuang Tunan said to Li Jia: "Li Jia, I really trouble you today. Is there enough food? If not, order more."
Li Jia hurriedly said: "Enough, enough, I just had roasted sweet potatoes, but I'm not really hungry. These are too much. The restaurants near the station are very expensive."
Lin Dongzhe laughed: "It's okay, sister, Tuxi is rich. Not to mention this small restaurant, even the Peace Hotel, Tuxi can afford it. Sister, just order, don't be polite."
Zhou Chen snorted: "You are generous to others, and you also want the Peace Hotel. Do you know which direction the door of the Peace Hotel opens?"
"North?"
"Get lost!"
Li Jia saw that Lin Dongzhe was scolded like a monkey by Zhou Chen, and couldn't help but smiled softly. She found that Lin Dongzhe was really interesting.
After dinner, several people discussed and decided to take a bus back to Tongji University first, and then wait for Zhuang Chaoying and Song Ying to pick them up at Tongji. So, several people got on the minibus to the vicinity of Tongji.
In the car, Zhou Chen sat in the front row, next to an unknown stranger, Li Jia and Lin Dongzhe sat behind him, Zhuang Tunan and Xiang Pengfei sat in the back row.
Since Lin Dongzhe got on the car, he began to show his chatterbox nature and asked Li Jia.
"Sister, you are the monitor of Brother Tunan. Are you good friends with Brother Tunan?"
Zhuang Tunan was nervous when he heard it, and immediately said: "Lin Dongzhe."
Li Jia replied generously: "We are just ordinary classmates. Zhuang Tunan's mother didn't say it too clearly on the phone. We thought you were kidnapped by bad guys. I accompanied Zhuang Tunan to wait for you because I didn't contact Zhuang Tuxi at the time. I was afraid that if there was any situation, Zhuang Tunan might not be able to handle it alone."
Lin Dongzhe said: "We were not kidnapped, we ran here by ourselves."
Zhuang Tunan patted him from behind: "You are quite proud, wait to get a broom from your parents when you go home."
Lin Dongzhe certainly didn't take his threat to heart and continued to talk to Li Jia.
"Sister, I brought apples when I came from home. Come, sister, have an apple."
"No, I just had dinner, I'm not hungry."
"You can eat it even if you're not hungry. This is the most delicious apple in Suzhou. I brought it for Brother Tuxi and Brother Tunan."
Lin Dongzhe stuffed the apple directly into her hand, and then picked up another apple and handed it to Zhou Chen.
"Brother, you eat an apple too."
Zhou Chen didn't say anything polite to him. He took it, wiped it, and then took a bite.
Seeing Zhou Chen eat it, Li Jia also imitated Zhou Chen, wiped it with clothes, and took a bite.
"Yeah, it's delicious."
Lin Dongzhe was very happy to see Li Jia eating the apple, and asked again: "Sister, have you been to Suzhou?"
"I haven't been to Suzhou."
"It's a pity that I haven't been there. My dad said that those who study architecture should go to Suzhou to see the gardens."
"The teacher in our department said the same thing. We will study the basics of architectural design next semester, and we may have to go to Suzhou to study the spatial generation of gardens."
"If you want to come, you must find me."
Zhuang Tunan behind him listened impatiently and muttered: "Looking for you, looking for you, think about how to face your mother when you go home first."
Lin Dongzhe completely ignored Zhuang Tunan. Obviously, at this time, he was much more interested in the unfamiliar Li Jia than Zhuang Tunan.
"Sister, I tell you, to see the gardens, you have to go in spring. There are magnolias and wisterias in the Humble Administrator's Garden, and magnolias in the Canglang Pavilion..."
It has to be said that Lin Dongzhe is a chatterbox, but he is also a good talker. He kept talking and explained everything about his family and the Zhuang family.
He thought that Zhuang Tunan and Li Jia were classmates, and Li Jia accompanied Zhuang Tunan to the station to pick them up. Their relationship must be a little unusual, so he deliberately led the topic to Zhuang Tunan.
"In fact, I hate these gardens the most. Our school goes there every year, and we have to write an essay every time we go. Brother Tunan wrote a poem about the white magnolia in the Humble Administrator's Garden, which was published in the school newspaper. The title is "A Garden of Flowers and Rain, a Garden of Poems."
Li Jia turned her head in surprise and glanced at Zhuang Tunan. Zhuang Tunan's embarrassed feet almost dug through the bottom of the car: "Lin Dongzhe, if you want to introduce Suzhou, just introduce Suzhou. Why do you always mention other things?"
Lin Dongzhe smiled and said, "Speaking of writing poetry, sister, we have a great poet and writer here."
"Ah?"
Li Jia was even more surprised: "Great writer, great poet? Zhuang Tunan, you?"
Zhuang Tunan shook his head and waved his hands quickly: "Not me, not me."
"It's Brother Tuxi."
Lin Dongzhe gave the answer, and Li Jia immediately looked at Zhou Chen in front of her. She had met Zhou Chen three times and didn't know Zhou Chen at all.
"Zhuang Tuxi?"
"Yes, that's Brother Tuxi. Brother Tuxi is a celebrity in our school. His articles and poems are widely circulated in our school and have appeared in magazines. My mother likes Brother Tuxi's poems very much, especially the one, Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms. Sister, do you know this poem?"
Li Jia's eyes widened instantly and asked in disbelief: "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms, is this poem written by Zhuang Tuxi? Is he Chenxing?"
Lin Dongzhe nodded and said, "Yes, Chenxing is a pen name of my brother Tuxi. My mother likes this poem the most. She even bought a magazine and asked Brother Tuxi to sign it."
Li Jia suppressed the excitement in her heart, leaned forward, and asked Zhou Chen in a low voice: "Zhuang Tuxi, are you really Chenxing? Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms, is this poem really written by you?"
"Yes."
Zhou Chen responded softly. When he picked up Li Jia's book last time, he saw this poem written on the postcard in her book, and knew that she must like this poem very much.
A perfect poem, a post, a content, a 6-9 book, a forum!
Li Jia was even more excited after getting a positive answer.
"It's incredible that you are Chen Xing. The poem you wrote is really great. I like it very much."
This poem does not have any gorgeous words. It describes ordinary life. The meaning is to be a happy person.
She likes the life and scenes described in the poem very much, but she is trapped in reality and knows that what is described in the poem is so far away, so she can only yearn for it and bury it silently in her heart.
Now she suddenly knows that Zhou Chen is the author of this poem. It feels like the person she admires has suddenly come to reality. She is really excited and happy.
Lin Dongzhe said: "Sister, you also like this poem, so I think you girls are really weird. It's just a poem, is there any need to be so happy? My mother is the same. She is not very educated, and I don't know how she can tell whether the poem is well written or not."
"Lin Dongzhe, you are so bold that you even dare to say it to your mother. When Aunt Song comes, I will tell her and see how she will teach you a lesson." Zhuang Tunan threatened.
"Don't be afraid. I dare to say so in front of my mother."
Lin Dongzhe didn't care and continued to say to Li Jia: "Sister, let me tell you, Tuxige's poems are good, but I still think his fairy tales and comic strips are the best and very interesting."
"He also wrote fairy tales and comic strips?"
Li Jia was stunned. If you say Zhou Chen writes novels, it's not so strange, but a person who can write such good poems actually writes fairy tales and draws comic strips. Isn't this a bit too wide?
But she thought about Zhou Chen's age again. He was only sixteen years old and not yet an adult. It didn't seem so strange for him to write fairy tales.
"Of course, I just said that Brother Tuxi is not short of money because he earned royalties from publishing stories."
Although Zhou Chen didn't care about his own affairs being exposed, Lin Dongzhe's little mouth was full of words. If he was not stopped, who knows what else he could say.
"Lin Dongzhe, you have nothing to say, right?"
Lin Dongzhe was not afraid of Zhuang Tunan, but when Zhou Chen said that, his neck shrank.
"Brother, I didn't tell anyone else. Sister Li Jia is Brother Tunan's classmate, so I just said a few more words."
But he didn't dare to say anything about Zhou Chen anymore, but turned to ask about Li Jia's situation. Li Jia had a good impression of Lin Dongzhe, and seeing that he was a child, he didn't have any guard and told Lin Dongzhe everything he could say.
Along the way, Lin Dongzhe kept talking, and Li Jia was amused by him several times. In addition to talking to Lin Dongzhe, she also took the initiative to talk to Zhou Chen on the way, mainly asking Zhou Chen about poetry.
Although she studied architecture, she is actually a girl with some literary style, especially when she meets the author of her favorite poem, that kind of literary style is even more vigorous.
Facing Li Jia's questions, Zhou Chen answered one sentence at a time, not proactive, not enthusiastic, just getting along with ordinary friends.
He could see a little strangeness in Li Jia's eyes, but he knew Li Jia's situation. He didn't like trouble, so he was not willing to provoke such a girl.
A person should never think about changing others, unless he intervenes from a very young age. Once a person's three views are fixed, it is almost impossible to change them. The cost of change is too high.
After arriving at Tongji University, Lin Dongzhe took Li Jia and stuffed the apples and other things he brought into Li Jia's bag. Li Jia had no choice but to accept them. In the end, Zhuang Tunan took them away. Otherwise, he would have stuffed everything in his bag into Li Jia's bag.
"Tuxi, you should go to my dormitory with us. Dad and Aunt Song will arrive in the evening. Let's wait for them in my dormitory."
"Okay."
Zhou Chen naturally had no objection and was about to go to his dormitory with Zhuang Tunan, but Li Jia suddenly called out.
"Zhuang Tuxi."
Zhou Chen stopped and looked at her in confusion.
Li Jia asked a little embarrassedly: "I just heard Lin Dongzhe say in the car that you also wrote fairy tales and comic strips. I want to know which magazine you published them in. Your poems are so good, and your fairy tales should be good too. I'm going to buy some to see."
Before Zhou Chen could speak, Lin Dongzhe rushed to say: "Sister, Tuxige's fairy tales were published in "Children's Literature", and there are two comic strips, the Seven Gems and the Little Mouse Story. His other pen name is Zhou Chen. I have collected these magazines and comic strips. They are at home. Sister, you should I want to read them. I will send them all to you after I go back. The fairy tales written by Tuxi are really good. You will definitely like them after reading them. "
Facing the enthusiastic Lin Dongzhe, Li Jia pursed her lips and felt very funny: "Those are your treasures. How can I have the nerve to steal your love."
"It doesn't matter. I'll give you mine. I can still read Xiaoting's in the future."
Xiang Pengfei said from the side: "Lin Dongzhe, I think you are dreaming. Xiaoting treasures those magazines of Tuxi very much, so she will never give them to you."
Zhuang Tunan grabbed the two little ones and walked towards the dormitory.
"You two stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go back to the dormitory with me first."
Zhou Chen nodded slightly to Li Jia, and then quickly caught up with Zhuang Tunan and others.
Li Jia stood there, looking at Zhou Chen's back, thinking that what happened today was really wonderful. Is this a dream shining into reality?
