Chapter 149 Bookstore
After getting off the bus, I walked a while and arrived at a bookstore that looked not small.
However, Xu Xian's persistence in etiquette really surprised Xu Chenjun. He had to develop a habit because he often attended various high-end gatherings in his previous life, and Xu Xian was really strictly managing himself.
When taking the escalator, you must stand on the right side, making the pedestrians who were standing casually feel embarrassed.
When he came to the bookstore, he seemed to smell a book smell. Xu Chenjun suddenly felt the spirit. When he followed Xu Xian to the self-inspiring book area, he suddenly discovered a book that he was interested in.
That is the area of British literary works, "Jane Eyre"/Charlotte Brontë, "Pride and Prejudice"/Jane Austen, "Orphans of the Fog"/Dickens, "Portrait of Dorling Gray", Oscar Wilde, etc., are all very famous works in the UK. But it is very deserted in this corner, which makes Xu Chenjun very puzzled.
Even works like China should be very popular, why is this happening?
Xu Chenjun picked up a book called "The Black Guy on the Narcissus". He had actually read Conrad's work a long time ago and had a clear memory of the content, but this did not affect his opening and reading the two pages.
"OPPA?" Because Xu Chenjun suddenly stopped, Xu Xian had already surpassed him for a long distance.
Hearing Xu Xian's call, Xu Chenjun put down the books in his hand and followed her footsteps. Xu Xian came to the self-inspiring book area and selected books for Xu Chenjun, including "Creating the Best Me", "Inspiring Unlimited Potential" and "Arousing the Giant in My Heart". Xu Chenjun opened a few pages a little and read some. These books really didn't suit his appetite.
Because he no longer needs any self-inspiration or motivation, some autobiography books or literary works are more suitable for him. However, Xu Xian obviously did not know this and chose books with great enthusiasm.
I found that Ban Ki-moon's work even introduced what Ban Ki-moon said to Xu Chenjun, "Learning is something that no matter who works hard, you can do it."
"But the learning effect is not very similar. There is no real fairness in this world. The so-called fairness is relative. Einstein's second half of the sentence is always hidden. Genius is 99% of the effort and one percent of the talent, but often that one percent of the talent is more important than ninety-nine percent of the effort."
Xu Xian was speechless because the best example was already in front of her. Not only Xu Chenjun, but also all the names in this world are not amazing? How many people really have to get to this point by just working hard? Some people can achieve the results of others in their lifetime in one tenth of their time. Is this fair?
If Xu Chenjun had not appeared, Xu Xian knew that it would be a foregone conclusion that he would go to Dongkong University. He would definitely be a luxury for Seoul University. Is this fair? So Xu Xian will definitely not discuss this topic with him anymore.
At the end of the book selection, Xu Xian was surprised to find that he had unknowingly selected five or six books, all of which he liked very much.
"OPPA, can you finish watching it? It seems that there are a little more." Xu Xian looked at Xu Chenjun innocently and stuck out his tongue awkwardly.
"It's okay, I read books very quickly, it won't take long." Xu Chenjun held these books in his hands indifferently. Xu Xian has a deep memory of this. This perverted guy can actually do ten lines at a glance and never forget them. He may have finished reading these books in just a few hours.
Seeing that she had recommended so much, Xu Chenjun also wanted to recommend it to her, "What books do you want to recommend to me by OPPA?" She was very excited about Xu Chenjun's recommendation.
"That's right, there are really a lot of them." Xu Chenjun walked to the biography area, skillfully selected books, and finally took out three books, namely "The Biography of Napoleon", "The Biography of Lincoln" and "Benjamin"
Autobiography of Franklin.
Then there is the famous literary works area, and I picked up "Jane Eyre" and "Pride and Prejudice" at will.
Seeing the five books in Xu Chenjun's hand, Xu Xian felt very stressed. She was not the pervert Xu Chenjun. It took a long time to read these books, so she used her ultimate skill to look at Xu Chenjun again with her innocent big eyes.
"I want to use the same trick again, now I won't take this set." Xu Chenjun deliberately turned his head and refused to look at her, and then prepared to go to check out the bill. This time Xu Xian knew that he could not escape.
"You can choose to read the other four books slowly in the future, but you have to finish reading this one." Xu Chenjun's hand was the book "Jane Eyre", which is listed as a must-read for women.
"Jane Eyre" is the representative work of Charlotte Bronte, a famous British female writer in the 19th century. People generally believe that "Jane Eyre" is a "poetic portrayal of Charlotte's life" and is an autobiographical work. It tells the story of a British woman who has become an orphan since childhood constantly pursues freedom and dignity, insists on herself, and finally achieves happiness in various hardships.
Xu Chenjun believes that such books have a far greater effect on Xu Xian than self-inspiring books.
"Okay, thank you OPPA." Xu Chenjun did not make things difficult for Xu Xian, but instead thought about her. She decided to finish reading all these books, and then scared him. Although it was difficult, she believed that she could do it.
"This novel is the most famous realist novel in Britain with a strong romantic color. It mainly describes the love between Jane Eyre and Rochester. The protagonist Jane Eyre is a pure-hearted and good-thinking woman. She lives at the bottom of society and suffers all kinds of hardships. But she has a stubborn personality and a spirit of courage to pursue equal happiness. I think it is very suitable for you."
What Xu Chenjun didn't expect was that after I finished broadcasting this episode, he had more sought after and supported by many intellectuals. Unconsciously, it also brought about a Jane Eyre trend among Korean students.
Then there was the issue of checkout. The two of them combined for eleven books. This was the first time Xu Xian bought so many books, but Xu Chenjun had already become accustomed to it. He usually wouldn't buy less than ten books when he came to a bookstore.
"Chenjunxi, do you have a membership card from our bookstore? You have purchased a lot of books this time. You can apply for a membership card first and then get some discounts." The lady in charge of checkout never left Xu Chenjun.
Xu Chenjun smiled politely, "Then apply for a membership card, the ID is XXXXX..."
The ID was used as the time when Xu Chenjun and Xu Xian first took pictures of my marriage.
The skillful conversation with the clerk’s book buying surprised both Xu Xian and PD. It was obvious that this guy often came to the bookstore.
However, after getting the application, Xu Chenjun did not put away the membership card, but handed the card directly to Xu Xian, "I can't use this, so you can keep it."
Xu Xian looked at Xu Chenjun in surprise. She was a little surprised. With this guy's personality, who never asks for the price, he would care about the discount for a small membership card? Now she finally knew the real reason and felt a kind of happiness of being cared for once again.
"Bad OPPA, I am so touched every time. What should you do if you want me to do?" Xu Xian said in her heart. She was really beginning to be confused.
When the clerk saw the book Xu Chenjun bought, he felt a little awe-inspiring. In her opinion, Xu Chenjun, as such a popular artist, could actually buy such books. If he wasn't doing a show, then he would be really amazing.
However, Xu Chenjun's chance of making a show is very low. Everyone knows that his education and culture are extremely high. People who can make movies like Inception can do it even if they write their own autobiography. How could they not understand such books?
I don't want to ask for a few recommendation votes here. It may explode today. Oh~~~, the recommendation and evaluation of Shenma is the most loving one.
