Chapter 44 There are still people looking up at the stars
"oops……"
The clothes were almost dry, and the two were about to walk back when Shi Lingyou suddenly remembered and hurriedly took out the movie tickets from his trouser pocket.
"It's all soaked..."
It's not that bad, but it's obviously hard to get through the ticket gate of the movie theater.
Shi Lingyou's face looked a little gloomy. She really didn't have the money to buy two more tickets.
In 1998, Titanic was in theaters for more than four months. Due to its popularity and insufficient number of copies, the broadcast order was first in first- and second-tier cities, then in third- and fourth-tier cities, and then in lower-tier cities and counties.
Tickets for the first and second lines, which have the highest fares, range from 80 to 120 yuan each, and are often hard to get.
Some urban and county towns have the lowest fares, ranging from thirty to fifty yuan.
It is said that the price can be lower than 20 yuan in some places, but Lin Baiyao has never seen it. It should be a few particularly remote and economically underdeveloped areas, and it is not universal.
Because based on income ratio and purchasing power, whether it is 120 yuan or 20 yuan, Titanic is actually the ceiling for movie ticket prices.
However, who is Shi Lingyou? After being briefly depressed, he immediately regained his vitality.
She will be upset and regretful about what has happened, but she will never be sad or complain for a long time. She will always look forward optimistically and positively. If there is a problem, she will find a way to solve it.
"Classmate Lin Baiyao!"
Shi Lingyou looked at Lin Baiyao with a smile. Not only did he speak in an extremely gentle tone, he also twisted his waist slightly and said, "Can you please lend me eighty yuan first? I heard that the university has a work-study program, and when the semester starts in September
, I will find a job, and it will take me two months at most, and I can pay you back if I make enough money."
This is a typical act of coquettishness without realizing it. Only people who trust themselves the most would do this kind of subconscious behavior.
Lin Baiyao would not say that I can borrow it from you, but you don’t have to pay it back, let alone say that I will pay for today’s movie, so don’t put any pressure on you.
Because he knew Shi Lingyou so well, if she wanted him to treat her to a movie, she would just say so. Now she would rather ask for a loan, indicating that she had booked the movie today.
"Okay, I'll go back and get the money later..."
Shi Lingyou stood at attention, bowed at a right angle, and said: "Thank you for your generosity!"
Lin Baiyao replied casually: "Generosity is the essence of friendship."
"ah?"
Shi Lingyou straightened up, as if he had discovered a new world, and said, "When did you start reading Oscar Wilde's works?"
Oscar Wilde, one of the greatest writers and artists in Ireland in the nineteenth century, was a representative figure of aestheticism.
One of his masterpieces, the opera "Salome", caused a strong response when it was performed in China.
At that time, domestic writers and critics were proud to talk about Wilde. For example, Xiu, Yang Yuqian, Yu Dafu, Xu Zhimo, Tian Han, Bai Wei, etc. were all influenced by Wilde in their respective works.
Of course, as a victim of an era when 1's and 0's were not yet tolerated, he is most famous for his legendary story of falling from the peak of his life to a deep valley and dying dimly because he was reported by his boyfriend's father.
"Look through it occasionally... But you don't look like it. The weird, absurd and morbid tone of the aestheticist decadent school is probably not the type you would like, right?"
"Of course I don't like it. Decadence views uselessness as beauty. That's a disease of the brain. But I quite like Wilde's poetry and prose... My favorite is Wilde's philosophical words: We are all in the gutter.
But there are still people who look up at the stars."
"Ha, you know which sentence I like the most?"
"Which sentence?"
"When I was young, I thought money was the most important thing, but now that I'm older, I realize that's really the case."
Shi Lingyou curled his lips and said: "Vulgar!"
Lin Baiyao smiled and said: "The same person says different things. You like what you like but despise what you don't like. Do you know what this is called?"
"What?"
"This is called subjectivity overriding objectivity..."
"No, no, Wilde is a human being, not a saint. Some of his principles are right and some are wrong. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. How can we say that subjectivity overrides objectivity? Moreover, subjective objectivity is not
It’s not set in stone…”
Shi Lingyou likes to do three things with Lin Baiyao the most. One is swimming, but she doesn't talk about it and hides her thoughts cleverly;
It's interesting; the third is debate, which is not a primary school student-style dispute, but a wonderful process of limited thinking collision using limited experience, limited knowledge.
"Of course, subjectivity and objectivity will transform into each other. In philosophy, the objectification of the subjective and the subjectification of the objective are reflected in social psychology, which is called the fundamental attribution error. When you study other people, you feel that it is all human mistakes, so subjective
When you study yourself, you think it’s all the fault of your environment, so you objectify. However, what about the facts?”
Lin Baiyao smiled and said: "The fact is that if you have enough money, you have enough ability to help people in the gutter look up at the stars. So, please tell me, looking up at the stars is noble, why is chasing money vulgar?
?”
"You are a person who secretly changes the concept and is in the gutter. If you don't give up hope, that is the greatness of the spirit. No one can deny it at any time. This is the objective existence. And chasing money, satisfying material things, and filling the gap of desire, maybe
There is nothing wrong with the individual, but will having money help people in the gutter? I don’t think so. That depends on the moral standards of the rich. This is subjective uncertainty..."
There are no answers to philosophical questions, and the purpose of the debate is not to convince the other party, but a small way for the two of them to bicker for fun for a long time.
"Stop! Today's debate is over. You should go back and change your clothes. We will meet at the street corner later."
Lin Baiyao is a man. In summer, his clothes are thin and it doesn't matter if they are dried in the sun. Even if there is water in some places, use the roots as the base point and shake it rapidly to give it a horizontal acceleration. No matter how much water there is, it can be dried.
This is the art of shaking a gun that every man knows.
Girls are born with deficiencies and cannot learn how to wield a gun. For hygiene reasons and to avoid infection, they still have to go back and change them.
So he paused the debate and changed from the aggressive opponent to the brother next door with the delicacy and caring that is not expected of an 18-year-old high school student.
Shi Lingyou could feel the sound of Lin Baiyao's words from the movement and placement of Lin Baiyao's gaze, and his ears suddenly felt a little hot. He resisted the urge to punch the person to death, turned around and left.
But as soon as he took two steps, he thought that Lin Baiyao was behind him, and his sly eyes became even more wanton and bold. For some reason, not to mention his ears feeling hot, it seemed that even his waist and hips were getting hot.
"Hey, you go ahead!"
Shi Lingyou stopped, turned around, put one hand on her hips, and pointed forward with one hand, looking cute and shy, angry and happy at the same time. The light from behind passed through her ears and temples, and her cheeks under the black hair were as beautiful as pink clouds.
Lin Baiyao was confused. What's going on? He was laughing and talking to Yan Yan, and then he was furious. Is the aunt here?
He couldn't fight head-on with a monster that bleeds for seven days a month and still has strong vitality. He walked to the front obediently, with his high-spirited and majestic posture, as if he was a loyal dog clearing the way for the princess.
Shi Lingyou, who was walking behind, did what she thought Lin Baiyao would do, and her eyes couldn't help but stay on his figure.
Well, I haven’t seen you for so long, why have you changed?
The shoulders are very broad, the waist is very thin, the legs are very long, and the arc of the back is very natural. It is not the kind of muscularity that is deliberately cultivated, but it is the youthful vitality that young people should have.
Oh, Shiling Tour,
You're screwed. You're a girl. How come you start paying attention to other people's appearances like those stinky boys?
But another voice told her:
Lin Baiyao is none other than Lin Baiyao. I have seen the naked butt look when I was a child. What will happen if I look at it now?
Arriving at the door of the house during the battle between heaven and man, Lin Baiyao turned his head and saw Shi Lingyou staring directly at him. He waved his hand in confusion and said, "Poor little one?"
"Ah! I'll go back and change clothes. I'll see you later."
Shi Lingyou seemed to have been stung by a bee on the soles of his feet. He ignored gravity and jumped directly into his yard and slammed the iron door.
Lin Baiyao was startled and said: "Damn it, stop calling the little squirrel a pitiful little squirrel, change his name to the little kangaroo and the little rocket..."
…
When I returned to my grandpa's house, I found that my aunt hadn't gotten off work yet. After asking, I found out that she would work overtime at noon today and would not be back until evening.
That was just in time. Lin Baiyao and the others said hello. I heard they were hanging out with Shi Lingyou, and the adults didn't have any objections.
They have joked a lot over the years about planning a wedding for the two of them, but fortunately it was just a joke.
Lin Baiyao didn't wait for a few minutes at the intersection when Shi Lingyou came over from the other end of the road.
She changed into a green plaid dress, wearing small white socks and small black leather shoes. Her long hair was not tied with a rubber band, only a white hairpin was used, and it hung casually and smoothly on her back.
At this time of year, well-groomed girls can’t see the traces of expensive cosmetics. Maybe their faces are not so flawless, but the purity and cleanliness in their bones cannot be compared with any cosmetics.
"Let's go and eat rice noodles!"
"You treat me, I'll pay for it!"
"Oh, you have such a sweet mouth..."
"Only the sun can see the smiling face of a sunflower, and only you can know the sweetness of my mouth..."
"Lin Baiyao, if you don't talk nicely, we're going to eat some meat..."
The rice was indeed delicious. Lin Baiyao thought privately that it was better than the meat, but he did not dare to say it in front of Shi Lingyou.
When I came to the cinema, the tickets for the 1:30 show were sold out yesterday, and even the 5:00 show was sold out just now. I had to wait for the 9:00 evening show, or buy them tomorrow.
Shi Lingyou was dumbfounded and said: "What are you doing? Watching a movie is not like learning from the Western Heavens. How difficult is it?"
Lin Baiyao smiled and said, "Master, don't lose heart."
"Wukong, I'm not discouraged, I'm thinking of a way..."
After a while.
"Master, have you thought of a solution? At 1:15, the tickets are checked..."
"Well, Tathagata often says that if something happens, the disciple will do his duty. The solution I thought of is - Wukong, you go and think of a solution."
