A new week has arrived.
In a public classroom on the campus of the School of Finance, the first gathering of new members of the literature club took place.
Su Zelin sat in the classroom, holding a copy of "The Sprout" in his hand, pretending to read it.
This original literary magazine founded in the 1950s is a heavyweight youth magazine in contemporary times. In 1999, it co-organized the New Concept Writing Competition with 13 famous universities, and discovered post-80s youth idols such as Han Han, Guo Xiaosi, and Zhang Yueran, making "Mengya" even more famous and known as the "Cradle of Post-80s Idols."
It has a profound impact on young people in China, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a must-have for literary youths to show off.
Since you are here to show off in the literature club, how can you miss "The Bud".
Hunzi is always well prepared. In fact, in addition to the two copies of "Sprout", there are also several copies of "Reader", "October", "Harvest" and "Woodpecker" on the desk, which are also good props for contemporary literary youths to show off.
Sure enough, Su Zelin had only been in the classroom for a while when he attracted the attention of several girls from the literature club.
Hunzi is handsome and has a good temperament, although he looks a bit ruffian. In fact, many famous literary youths are a bit ruffian. For example, Han Han does not look serious, and in fact he is not serious either.
Then, as a literary girl, these latest magazines in Su Zelin's hands are also quite attractive.
The scoundrel didn't even have to take the initiative, several girls would come up to him and start chatting him up. It was actually quite simple to win the favor of these literary girls. All he had to do was show off his literary talent, act sophisticated, quote some famous quotes that were not so common but had profound meanings, and then feed them some chicken soup for the soul. This always worked for this group of girls.
After a while, the girls were drunk by Su Zelin and they didn't know what was going on.
"Wow, you're a freshman too, you're so talented!"
The literary girls had little stars in their eyes and looked very admiring.
"No, actually, my high school essays didn't always win awards or get read as model essays by the Chinese teacher in class."
Su Zelin was very "modest" and responded indifferently.
Yes, not every time. Not even once can be said to be not every time.
As expected, several artistic girls were fooled.
Not every time, there must be many times like this, it feels really amazing.
"You are too modest. My high school essays were never selected as model essays by my Chinese teacher, let alone winning an essay competition!"
"Yes, I only performed exceptionally well once and was lucky enough to be used as a model essay by my Chinese teacher!"
"If our College of Finance didn't have a literature department, I would have thought you were from the literature department!"
"… "
The literary girls were generous with their praises, and they all felt that this boy who looked a bit cool and handsome had a high literary quality and must be a person with depth.
At this moment, a surprised and happy voice came from behind: "Squad leader?"
Su Zelin turned around and saw Ding Lina.
"Hey, Nanako, what a coincidence, you also signed up for the literature club?"
The scoundrel pretended to be surprised: "It's true that people meet everywhere in life. We are so destined to meet each other!"
In fact, he was not surprised at all, because in his previous life, Ding Lina chose the Literature Club during the winter recruitment for interest clubs in her freshman year, and then met a literary man who was trying to cheat her out of money.
“It’s true!”
Ding Lina was also very happy.
She especially likes reading romance novels and is considered a literary girl with a romantic heart, so she chose the literature club among many clubs.
However, as far as Nanako knows, she is the only girl who has signed up for this club.
I originally thought I would be bored without friends, but now, I have met Su Zelin in the literature club. With that eloquent talker, I will definitely not be bored this time.
"Oh, sorry, you are the monitor?"
After hearing this, several literary girls became more fond of him. People who can become class monitors in college are usually very capable and have good interpersonal relationships.
"Haha, it's nothing. I am just a small public servant who has gained the trust of my classmates. I will do my best to contribute to the class and shine my light!"
The gangster pretended to be of noble moral integrity, which made Ding Lina roll her eyes.
The first time I met this guy at the class meeting, I was fooled by him. I thought he was an honest person.
I glanced at the magazines on the table and thought that this boy was up to his old tricks again, trying to deceive some ignorant girls.
"Haha, monitor, you really like to carry a few magazines with you wherever you go!"
Ding Lina teased intentionally or unintentionally, and there was something hidden in her words, but she did not reveal it.
Su Zelin remained calm: "Yes, as the saying goes, 'water nourishes people, books nourish the mind'. Books are the ladder of human progress. Books contain knowledge, wisdom, thoughts and feelings."
“Being good at drawing nourishment and energy from books is the ladder and shortcut to realizing your ideals, moving towards progress and achieving success!”
"A man of knowledge is naturally noble and elegant. A great man once said that only when the masses read more can our national spirit become richer and deeper!"
"Reading is a kind of joy in life. Shakespeare once said, 'Life without books is like life without sunshine!'"
"Ye Shengtao also said: 'Literature is the highest spiritual link of people. It unites countless weak hearts into a great heart. Literature has the unique power. Literature can expose darkness, welcome light, and make people abandon meanness and shallowness and move towards nobility and depth!'"
“I deeply agree with these famous quotes!”
As soon as Su Zelin finished speaking, several literature girls started clapping hard. Even though they had only known Hunzi for less than ten minutes, they were now as excited as if they had met their idol.
Ding Linna was also dumbfounded. She originally wanted to tease Su Zelin casually, but she didn't expect that the gangster would actually say a lot of things.
Even though she knew he was bragging, she still had to admire him. To be able to brag so impressively, he must be really bragging!
"What you said is so good, it really touched the depths of my soul!"
The first literary girl only hated that her ability to express herself was not as strong as the other one. "Deep in the soul" sounded a bit literary, but the word "poke" was a bit vulgar.
"You have such a strong literary background. You quoted so many famous quotes at random. Except for Shakespeare's quote 'Life without books is like life without sunshine', I have never heard of the others!"
The second literary girl also worships the authentic.
"I'm so lucky to meet a talented boy like you in the literature club. I've come to the right place. By the way, we don't even know your name yet."
The third literature girl asked.
"My surname is Su, and my given name is Zelin. Actually, my father is also a literature lover, and he gave me this name!"
The gangster immediately put a label of hipster on his father, who was a steel factory worker.
The girl asked curiously: "Your name is very nice, is there any story behind it?"
With a literary dad, the name should also be meaningful, the girls automatically started to imagine.
"Speaking of the moral, there are indeed some."
The gangster smiled slightly and explained casually.
"First of all, the word ze belongs to the water element, which comes from the idiom 'drink water and remember its source'. My father hopes to be a person who knows how to be grateful."
"In addition, the word ze also contains auspicious signs, expressing the wish for healthy growth and safe and smooth progress."
"As for personality, it also means that the boy is tolerant, kind, upright and considerate."
"As for the word 'Lin', it is of the wood element, and two trees form a forest, which represents endless growth and prosperity. In terms of character, this word refers to a boy who is strong, tenacious, unyielding, and willing to take responsibility!"
"My father liked the meaning of these two words very much. He also recognized a sentence in the poem "A Poem" by the Song Dynasty poet Pan Lianggui - 'Good trees stand out in the mountains and swamps, and the forests in the forests still live for a hundred years', so he gave me this name!"
Su Zelin's words frightened the literary girls.
They had never heard of the meaning of Ze and Lin.
I have never heard of the poet's name, let alone his poem.
The more this is the case, the more unfathomable and profound it becomes.
There is a feeling of being incomprehensible.
Everyone has a name. Ours is just nice-sounding at best. Why do others have so many names
In comparison, my name seems so mediocre, far less grand than others.
Literary girls are all very envious and secretly hate themselves for not having such a talented father. They can give themselves a good name that is not only nice to hear but also has connotations, beautiful meanings, and is related to ancient poetry. When they go out and talk about the origin of their name, they will be so proud!
Ding Lina was also fooled by Su Zelin. You say this guy is a liar, but he really has some skills, and he is not just a braggart.
If you ask the president of the literature club to come over, I feel like he may not be able to make him sound as round and beautiful as before. He sounds so high-end and pretentious.
Several literature girls chatted with Su Zelin for a long time, asked for his QQ number, and borrowed a magazine each before turning away reluctantly.
Su Zelin's attention returned to Ding Lina.
The weather is cold, and today Nana is wearing a medium-length hooded Snow Goose down jacket with a raccoon fur collar, which is the "Maple Leaf Goose" that was later sold in China at a very high price, often tens of thousands of yuan per piece, and was criticized for its arrogant attitude towards consumers.
However, this brand was still well-known in 2000 and was considered a symbol of affordable luxury. This shows that Nanako's family background was quite good, and she also had her own little piggy bank.
The down jacket is knee-length and is paired with a pair of leg-revealing accessories, which is considered very fashionable and trendy in this era, and has a modern girl vibe.
Ding Linna is 1.75 meters tall and has very good leg proportions. Her calves are long, slender, round and well-proportioned, which is extremely attractive. If she meets some people who are obsessed with legs, it will be difficult for them to look away at first sight. So she later became a print model for Taobao, specializing in advertising stockings.
Seeing this pair of calves, long-lost memories came to his mind. Su Zelin could still vaguely remember the evening when he took the photo of her. The setting sun fell on her through the window lattice. Nana was leaning lazily on the sofa, looking charming as she casually stretched out her pair of smooth, white, slender legs.
What a beautiful evening that was. The pixels of SLR cameras in later generations were much higher than those of today. Su Zelin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Nanako in her previous life was also quite satisfied with that set of photos. Teacher Su was very good at capturing her beauty, and especially emphasized her proud legs through multiple angles and poses.
On the same day, she also made an appointment with Teacher Su to take a set of artistic photos for her next time when he was free. Unfortunately, before her wish came true, Teacher Su was struck by lightning and reborn. From then on, the world lost a talented photographer and a future artist. What a pity.
Thinking of this, Hunzi said casually: "Nana, I'll take a set of artistic photos for you when I have time. I swear in the name of Teacher Su that they will be very beautiful!"
Ding Lina: “???”
This was not the first time Su Zelin mentioned the topic of taking photos of himself, which made Nanazi feel confused.
“Why do you want to take a photo of me?”
"Because you have the potential to become a model, the photos you take will definitely be full of aura and can be called works of art. This will become the best work of my life, Teacher Su. Then I will make a photo album for you for free. How about it?"
"Well... okay."
Ding Lina hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
Even though she knew that the gangster was always talkative, Nanazi still felt very happy when he praised her like that.
"Then let's happily say so. Don't regret it. But it's not easy to take pictures in this weather. Let's wait until the winter is over. When spring comes and flowers bloom, I promise to have you with me!"
Su Zelin stretched out his little finger.
"You're a grown-up, but you're still making pinky promises like a child!"
Although she complained, Ding Lina still stretched out her little finger and hooked it with him.
Hunzi thought to himself that this is an agreement between you and me that was made across lifetimes, how can we not take it seriously
"I may be older, but I still have the innocence of a child at heart. Haven't you heard the saying that a man remains a boy until his death?"
Su Zelin smiled playfully.
"Tsk, he's still innocent, I don't know how many girls he has harmed!"
Ding Lina's face was full of disdain.
"I can swear that I have never harmed any girl in my life, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Su Zelin pointed to the sky and swore a solemn oath.
"Even if it doesn't cause trouble now, it will cause trouble sooner or later!"
Ding Lina saw it right: "I don't care if you harm other girls, but you are absolutely not allowed to harm my roommate!"
"Look at what you said, I sound like a scumbag, Nana, don't forget that I'm your squad leader, a great and glorious squad leader!"
"… "
While the two were chatting casually, two pairs of eyes fell on Ding Lina not far away in the classroom.
Unlike Teacher Su's innocent gaze, which was purely for the purpose of capturing and appreciating beauty, those two glances contained much more complexity.
The owner of the gaze was a pretty boy with a feminine look. Although he had a handsome face, he was too feminine and not masculine enough. He was a completely different type from the handsome and cool Su Zelin.
This girl is the most beautiful in the entire literature club. This snow goose coat is not cheap, she looks quite rich. Holding a pocket romance novel in her hand, you can tell at a glance that she is a brainless girl who likes romance.
No brains + rich, he is simply the perfect prey, but it's a pity that there is an annoying guy around him.
The pretty boy secretly looked at Ding Lina, with bad ideas in his mind, but he didn't know that Su Zelin was also watching him.
This guy is the one who cheated Nanazi of her money in her previous life. His name is Di Sishao, but his rebirth disrupted his plans.
After observing the two of them for a while, Di Sishao quickly came to a conclusion.
This man and woman don't seem to be a couple. They may have just met at the first meeting of the literature club. However, the girl seems to have a good impression of the boy. After all, he is handsome, and his face caters to the preferences of such brainless girls.
If we continue like this, that kid will get there first.
It's rare to come across such a good prey, I can't give up so easily.
Even though that guy had a nice face, he was too young and I could easily snatch that girl away when I had the chance.
Thinking of this, Di Sishao took action. He came to the seat behind the two and put on what he thought was the brightest smile: "Hi, hello, are you two also new to the Department of Literature?"
Although Di Sishao's arrival was a bit sudden, everyone was from the same club, so it was normal to get to know others and communicate at a gathering. Moreover, the literary man dressed very warmly and friendly. People who didn't know him might be fooled by his disguise and think that he just wanted to make friends with them.
At least Ding Lina didn't notice it, she nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Di Sishao, sophomore majoring in investment, nice to meet you!"
The pretty boy introduced himself "sincerely", but in fact his attention was all on Ding Lina, and he completely ignored Su Zelin standing beside him.
Su Zelin didn't care either, but narrowed his eyes.
It’s okay, just act, act with all your might!
I'm here to take charge. If Nana can still be fooled by you this time, I lose!
"Dinglina!"
Sure enough, Nanako simply introduced herself briefly and then continued to chat with the gangster.
In this timeline of her previous life, Su Zelin did not sign up for the literary club. She felt bored at the first meeting and happened to be spotted by Di Sishao. The literary guy knew how to talk and understand girls' psychology, so Nanazi quickly developed a liking for him, which led to her being deceived later.
But this life is different. With Su Zelin by her side, Nana's attention is all on the scoundrels, and she doesn't bother to pay attention to the artistic men at all.
Di Sishao was disappointed but still didn't give up. He was shameless and showed off his literary talent intentionally or unintentionally.
To be able to become a scumbag and to have cheated so many girls in his previous life, Di Sishao must have his own way. He has a good eloquence and knows how to be a little literary. Any literary girl who likes romance can be easily hooked.
However, Nanazi was unmoved, because no matter in appearance, eloquence or literary demeanor, the pretty boy could not compare to Su Zelin.
It would actually be fine if there were no gangster for comparison, but Su Zelin had just pretended to be a great guy in front of several literary girls and Nanazi. With such a good example in front of him, Di Sishao's show-off of being a literary youth seemed stiff and superficial, as if he was literary for the sake of being literary, and he was not as smooth as Su Zelin.
Instead of being attracted, Nana felt that the pretty boy was a bit nagging and impolite. She thought to herself that this guy was really tactless. Others were having a good chat, and he came over to say hello and just get to know them, but it was nothing for him to disturb them like a fly.
Seeing that Ding Lina ignored him, Di Sishao was puzzled. Logically, his literary and artistic style had always been effective and almost no literary girl could resist it.
Besides, the boy next to her has no other charm except that he is handsome, and he is also very vulgar, telling dirty jokes all the time. However, the girl doesn't seem to be disgusted, and she is amused to giggle and shake.
Have all the literature girls of this year changed their personalities
Until the end of the meeting, Di Sishao was unable to say a few words to Ding Lina, and Wen Qing was left alone.
Before leaving the public classroom with Nanazi, Su Zelin glanced at Di Sishao intentionally or unintentionally, only to see that the literary man was still staring at Ding Lina's back like a venomous snake.
Judging from the look of this guy, he seems not to give up yet.
Su Zelin also expected it.
There is always a few boys around the pretty girls in school.
If he had given up so easily just because I appeared next to Nanako, he would not have been able to dump so many girls in the Finance College in his previous life.
It doesn't matter. In that case, I'll play with you slowly. Haha!
"What's wrong with that person just now? He kept nagging beside me!"
As soon as she walked out of the classroom, Nana couldn't help but complain. She was a little unhappy that the man repeatedly interfered with her and the gangster.
A smile appeared on Su Zelin's lips.
Although Di Sishao did not reveal his true colors, he did not gain nothing today. At the first meeting of the literature club, Nanazi not only did not develop a liking for the literary man, but she even found him a bit annoying. It would be even more difficult for Di Sishao to flirt with her in the future.
"Isn't it obvious, Nana? He likes you. Besides, he's quite talented and looks okay. Why don't you consider him?"
Su Zelin said deliberately.
This statement had the opposite effect.
"No, no, no, Su Zelin, I'm telling you, don't push me into the fire pit!"
Nanazi declined without hesitation: "What kind of talent is this? What he said just now was so embarrassing. You can brag more fluently. You even fooled a few girls so much that they asked you for your QQ number!"
"What do you mean by bragging? I have a deep literary background. I can recite 300 Tang poems and 300 Song poems by heart!"
Su Zelin corrected unhappily.
"You can play it as much as you want, but then you can recite "Spring Dawn" backwards for me!"
Ding Lina naturally didn't believe it.
"Spring Dawn" is an ancient poem that any primary school student can recite easily, but reciting it backwards is another matter.
"Hey, isn't this simple? Little or much knows the falling flowers, the sound of rain and wind comes at night, the birds are heard everywhere, and the morning wakes up the sleepless spring!"
The guy recited it backwards in one breath, easily and without any difficulty at all.
It is actually a bit difficult to recite ancient poems backwards, because many sentences are not fluent, and most people are not that bored.
But Su Zelin felt that it was not difficult. As long as he memorized an ancient poem fluently, he could often recite it backwards without even practicing deliberately.
It sounds incredible, but there are such freaks in the world. For example, there was a person who was particularly sensitive to numbers on a TV program in later generations. He could remember a series of complex numbers of dozens of digits at a glance, and he never wrote down other people's phone numbers on his mobile phone.
Nanako's eyes widened.
Wow, he actually memorized it backwards, and as fluently as he memorized it forwards!
Okay, I was careless.
…
