Chapter 367 Literature Club Book Sharing Session
On the literature club side, Ying Chanxi arrived at the activity room and sat on the podium.
As the club members arrived one after another, it was one o'clock in the afternoon. Ying Chanxi looked at the time, then nodded and clapped his hands for everyone to be quiet.
"President Li Luo has some things to deal with at the Rock Club, so he asked me to take care of it."
Ying Chanxi showed off his dignity as the president of the Student Union and said calmly, "Our activities today are very simple."
"First, you can continue to exchange pen pal letters with classmates with whom you have established a pen pal relationship."
“The second is a recent book sharing session where everyone can choose a book they have read recently, share their thoughts after reading it, and give some examples of why they recommend it to everyone.”
"The third is to arrange for the two vice presidents of our literature club this year. When Li Luo comes over, he will make the announcement."
Ying Chanxi must have strong personal abilities, and he can host this kind of club activities with ease.
In the first half hour, everyone was asked to exchange pen pal letters. Those who did not prepare letters could start writing on the spot.
Or if you receive a letter, you can choose to write a reply on the spot after reading it.
After half an hour of pen pal letter exchange, Ying Chanxi looked at the time and saw that Li Luo had not arrived yet, so he continued with the book sharing session.
What she didn't expect was that this book sharing session was completely different from previous ones.
In the past, everyone would share some classic masterpieces from home and abroad. For example, a well-known one like "Camel Xiangzi" would not even be mentioned, and it was assumed that everyone had read it.
Therefore, some relatively unpopular classics often appear at book sharing sessions. Even Ying Chanxi's works can be quite beneficial to me, and I will occasionally buy and read the books shared by members.
But today, things have completely changed...
"The book I want to share today is called 'I'm Really Not a Celebrity.'" A boy named Su Lintian stood up and shared with everyone. However, as soon as he finished saying this, he couldn't hold back his laughter and quickly covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
The other students present also burst into laughter, and even Ying Chanxi on the podium did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Su Lintian restrained his expression and continued seriously, "I just read about 200,000 words of this book."
"I didn't actually read online literature before, but after reading it, I found that although it may not be as profound as traditional classics, it is indeed a very good read if you just use it for leisure and entertainment."
"For example, the article "I'm Really Not a Star" written by our president himself tells the story of a down-and-out 18th-tier celebrity in reality, who travels to an imaginary parallel Earth and gradually becomes the godfather of the entertainment industry by relying on classic songs and film and television works from the original Earth."
"To be honest, compared with traditional classics, online literature naturally has a stronger sense of anticipation."
"I believe that everyone here is the same. Just by hearing the introduction of a small person turning into a big person, you are probably thinking and expecting what the protagonist will do and what works he will choose. And how will other people in the parallel world react when they hear and see these excellent works?"
I have to say that although Su Lintian originally just wanted to make a joke, after watching Li Luo's "I'm Really Not a Celebrity", he did analyze some things clearly.
If someone is saying something meaningful, Ying Chanxi would not interrupt him.
But this should be the first time that someone chose to recommend and share an online novel in the activity classroom of the Literature Society of the No. 1 Middle School.
The key point is that this online article was written by the president himself, and it has achieved very good results.
Therefore, the members naturally felt less alienated from this work.
Some members may have looked down on such works at first, but when they thought about it, they realized that this thing was written by the president who is also a high school student like themselves, so they would not be too harsh when reading it.
On the contrary, maybe because I didn’t know much about online literature before, at first glance this long novel of almost three million words, even just looking at the number of words, I have to admire the president’s creative perseverance.
After reading the contents of the novel, one can't help but laugh, and can't help but marvel at the president's imagination.
However, although Su Lintian is bold, he is not bold enough to do anything. After sharing this book, he only talked about the advantages of this book from a more serious perspective.
But after Su Lintian sat down, Jiang Liuxian's deskmate Ai Kesi immediately raised his hand to signal.
Ying Chanxi asked her to speak.
So Aikesi stood up with a smile, raised his head and chest, and said fearlessly: "Like the classmate just now, I also came to share "I'm Not a Celebrity"."
"However, my perspective is different from his. I think that in addition to the main plot of the novel itself, the relationship between the male and female protagonists is also a major feature of this book!"
When he said this, Aikos paused, as if he was considering it.
The other people present, especially those students who had actually read the novel, immediately looked at her with admiration when they heard what Aikos said.
Especially Su Lintian who just spoke, he was extremely respectful of this and thought to himself, do you really dare to say that?
Ying Chanxi on the podium originally thought that the segment about "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" had passed, but he didn't expect there would be more to come. He immediately held his forehead with a headache.
Especially when I heard Aikos talk about the relationship between the male and female protagonists, I inexplicably had a bad feeling.
But the schoolgirl has already said this, and I can’t just interrupt her.
So Ying Chanxi had no choice but to continue listening.
Looking at it from another perspective, Ying Chanxi was quite happy to hear someone praising the novel written by Li Luo.
But Ying Chanxi would probably be happier if Li Luo himself could withstand the firepower on the spot.
"I have read more than 500,000 words in this book!" Aikos raised his chin and said proudly, "There are three female protagonists in it, but my favorite is probably the heroine named Shen Dongdong."
"As the protagonist's childhood sweetheart, I have always dreamed of becoming an actor because I have a strong desire to perform since I was a child."
"But after successfully being admitted to the top film school in the country and being lucky enough to get an interview invitation from a certain crew, she was disappointed with the industry when the director asked her to have sex with him."
"So she was heartbroken. After clearly rejecting the director's unspoken demands, she decided to quietly improve her acting skills in school. Even if there were no plays to perform, she could still shine in places like the National Theatre in the future."
"It was under such circumstances that her childhood sweetheart Li Yang became a ray of light in her acting career."
"I really like the character of Shen Dongdong." When Ai Kesi said this, his eyes were fixed on Ying Chanxi, "I feel that her mind is very clean and pure. When facing the male protagonist, that kind of emotion is also cultivated since childhood, without the slightest interest mixed in."
When hearing this, Ying Chanxi blinked her eyes. She felt a little shy, but at the same time, she was happy in her heart, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
Some students who had already figured out who Shen Dongdong's prototype was, when they saw Ying Chanxi's reaction and changes on the podium, they cursed the president in their hearts.
"She has liked Li Yang since she was a child. Her attitude towards him has not changed because of Li Yang's past or later success. She has always treated him with the same attitude."
Aikesi continued, "On this point, I think Shen Dongdong is really cute, but I also feel a little unfair for her."
"After all, such a good girl really deserves to be treated sincerely, rather than being forced to share the hero's love with two other equally outstanding girls."
"But... this is a fantasy novel after all. I wonder if all boys like this kind of plot, where several girls are attracted to you and you can take the initiative to choose."
At this point, Aikesi snorted, glanced at the boys in the classroom, and laughed, "If it were me, I would probably slap him twice. He is so conceited."
"What two slaps?"
Just when Aikos finished sharing, a figure walked in from the front door of the activity room.
Hearing Aikos's last words, Li Luo immediately looked over curiously and asked puzzledly.
All of a sudden, the whole classroom burst into laughter, and even Ying Chanxi on the podium couldn't help laughing out loud.
Ai Ke Si didn't expect that he would run into the real person just after he finished scolding. He was a little embarrassed. He sat down in a huff and hid in Jiang Liuxian's arms, not daring to look Li Luo in the face.
"Jiang Jiang... If the president finds out, he won't beat me up, right?"
"It, it shouldn't be." Jiang Liuxian responded in a low voice with a slightly red face.
"Will that make things difficult for me?" "You're overthinking it. The president is not that kind of person."
Seeing the sudden laughter in the classroom, Li Luo walked to the podium in confusion, glanced at Ying Chanxi who was also laughing, and asked, "What's going on?"
"Nothing." Ying Chanxi shook his head, covered his mouth and chuckled, "It's just a book sharing session."
"Oh, I see." Li Luo did not doubt him. Seeing that it was still early, he nodded and said, "Then let's continue. Does anyone else want to share?"
“Yes, yes, yes!” Ai Ke Si immediately grabbed Jiang Liuxian’s hand, raised her right hand high, and said with a smile, “President! Jiang Jiang said she wanted to share the book ‘I’m Really Not a Celebrity’! She stayed up late to read it for a long time these past two days! She even has dark circles under her eyes.”
"Sisi!" When Jiang Liuxian noticed that everyone's attention was focused on her, she suddenly became a little flustered and quickly pulled her hand back.
On the podium, after hearing Aikos's speech, Li Luo's eyes twitched, and he probably guessed what weird stuff these people were sharing just now.
But before Li Luo could react, Ying Chanxi had already started to talk and said, "Jiang Liuxian, you tell me about it."
There was another burst of laughter in the classroom, followed by loud applause.
This time, Li Luo was there, and he started to perform right in front of the president. The excitement was truly something to behold.
So everyone started to make a fuss, and Jiang Liuxian had no choice but to stand up with a blushing face.
But after all, he was a deputy monitor, and he had been a monitor in a junior high school class before. Jiang Liuxian just sorted out his thoughts a little, and then temporarily suppressed his shyness, and started to share seriously:
"After reading this book of about 700,000 words, my thoughts are slightly different from what Sisi said just now."
"Putting aside the harem nature of this type of online novel, I think the emotional plots between each heroine and hero are very well designed."
"Well... I usually read some romance novels, the kind where the protagonists are all girls." Jiang Liuxian blushed a little when she said this, but continued, "In fact, in romance novels, there are also plots like this where several boys revolve around the heroine."
"But in this kind of books, the heroine is always described as ordinary, relying solely on some kind of silly and sweet attribute to win the hearts of all kinds of boys."
"I think that in comparison, the male protagonist in the president's book is excellent enough, whether in terms of personal ability, character, or way of dealing with things, there are enough reasons to attract these excellent female protagonists."
"Under such circumstances, the relationship between the male and female protagonists is not a sudden occurrence, but rather a good impression that is accumulated little by little through the advancement and collision of the plot again and again."
"At least from a logical point of view, I think it is completely tenable."
"As for moral discipline... do we read novels to see the protagonist become a moral saint?"
"In those classic traditions that have been passed down through the ages, how many of the protagonists are not good people in the traditional sense? There are even villains and scumbags."
“So when I read a book, I never like to impose secular morality on the protagonist or any other character.”
"From this point of view, I think this book is well written. At least the relationship between the hero and heroine is well thought out and not something you fall in love with on a whim."
"Well... that's about it."
After saying this, Jiang Liuxian sat back in her seat with a red face, not daring to look at Li Luo on the podium.
At this time, Li Luo coughed twice and said, "Thank you Jiang Liuxian for sharing. Let's end the book sharing session first. I will first tell you about the arrangements made by the vice president."
Although he was in a good mood after being praised, Li Luo still felt a little nervous when he thought about the dozens of people in the literature club, almost all of whom were reading the novel he wrote, even though he had already told himself to learn to enjoy it.
What kind of enjoyment is this? !
Li Luo felt like he was about to die on the spot.
If he hadn't had such great self-control that he opened his memory palace and played "Tension" on repeat in his mind to brainwash himself and calm himself down, he would have really dug a hole in the floor of this floor.
After finalizing Wu Yihang and Jiang Liuxian as vice presidents of the literature club, Li Luo directly asked them to host the subsequent book sharing session.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Luo announced that today's club activities were over.
If you are in other clubs, you can go somewhere else. If not, pack your bags and prepare to go home.
As for Li Luo, after returning to the classroom with Ying Chanxi, he helped Yan Zhusheng pick up his schoolbag and then walked towards the rock club again.
"If I had known that the literature club was going to cause trouble, I wouldn't have come here just now." Li Luo sighed, carrying his own schoolbag and holding Yan Zhusheng's schoolbag in his hand, and couldn't help but complain, "How am I going to live my life from now on?"
"Haha~" Ying Chanxi couldn't help laughing when he saw his sad face, and patted his shoulder to comfort him, "But I think what everyone said is very good, incisive and logical, and they are all reading your book seriously."
"I really want to thank them." Li Luo rolled his eyes, and then couldn't help asking, "Weren't you embarrassed just now?"
"What's embarrassing?"
"We talked about Shen Dongdong and the like."
"Hmm..." Ying Chanxi blinked, then blushed slightly, lowered his head and whispered, "What's wrong with talking about Shen Dongdong? Could it be that the Shen Dongdong written by someone is actually about me?"
"Well... the plot of the novel is purely fictional." Li Luo said shamelessly and seriously, "Any similarities are purely coincidental."
"Humph."
The two of them walked towards the gymnasium together and came to the activity room on the second floor.
At this time, Yan Zhusheng and the others were still rehearsing, so Li Luo and Ying Chanxi sat aside to watch and enjoy.
Halfway through, Li Luo was pulled up by Yan Zhusheng and sang a few songs with her, and Ying Chanxi just sat there obediently.
When it was about four o'clock, Yan Zhusheng felt that it was about time, so he announced the end of today's club activities.
Everyone packed up their things and said goodbye to the president and the acting president with a smile. Before leaving, they glanced at Li Luo and the other three people, and thought of the plot in someone's novel, and suddenly chuckled.
When Li Luo took the two girls out of the gymnasium and walked towards the school gate, many other clubs were just finishing their activities.
A large group of students were leaving school with their backpacks on their backs. When they saw Li Luo's group of one boy and two girls walking side by side on the road, whispers suddenly broke out around them.
Generally speaking, if we see someone two-timing in real life, we will at least curse them behind their back.
At the very least, I have to complain.
But I don't know why.
When everyone saw Li Luo walking with two girls, they just wanted to laugh.
It feels like watching a show and eating spectators.
It’s like watching someone acting in a TV series in real life.
In addition, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng are both very good-looking beauties, and Li Luo is also a handsome guy, which further deepened everyone's impression.
But everyone in the Affiliated High School No. 1 was also very curious.
Li Luo wrote three female protagonists in his novel.
Mo Qinghan can sing, so she must correspond to Yan Zhusheng.
Shen Dongdong is a childhood sweetheart, which corresponds to Ying Chanxi, whose cousin it is not known whether she is a cousin or not.
Then there is Jiang Mingyue, who does she refer to?
Or is this third female protagonist actually completely fictional?
This makes everyone very curious.
