Chapter 60

If possible, please put the book on the shelf. It will be convenient for you and also support me. Thank you!

Wen Hong held a few pages of paper in her right hand, ready to exchange them with other female classmates. As usual, Feng Wen deliberately created obstacles to prevent Wen Hong from walking out smoothly. While she was scolding Feng Wen, Feng Yiping snatched the pages from her hand.

Wen Hong screamed, too preoccupied to scold Feng Wen. She hurriedly chased after him. Not only did she chase, but several female classmates also rushed over to grab the pages, including Huang Jingping.

Feng Yiping used a move called "Parting the Flowers and Brushing the Willows," and the girls in front of him instantly scattered. He easily ran out of the classroom, waving his sleeves, not taking a single cloud with him.

Of course, it wasn't that easy. With the help of Feng Wen and Xiao Zhijie, he barely broke through the encirclement and escaped the classroom. Looking down, he found that a button had been torn off, and there were several scratches on his arm. What fierce girls!

In any case, this made him feel that these few pages were very important.

Wen Hong and Wang Jinju chased to the door, but teachers were walking by outside. On the second floor of the teaching building, a few teachers were leaning on the corridor railing, watching the classroom. They didn't dare to act rashly and had to retreat reluctantly.

At the classroom door, where the teachers on the upper floor couldn't see, a group of girls were chattering and condemning.

Feng Yiping smiled and waved the papers in his hand. Instantly, several female classmates blushed and ran back to their seats. Wen Hong clenched her fists, both embarrassed and angry.

Feng Yiping unfolded the hard-earned pages and looked at them. Hmm, very familiar! There were many obvious brackets in the paragraphs, with "Author deleted so many words" written inside. He couldn't recall what it was at first, but when he saw the beginning, he understood.

These were a few pages from a novel, with the main character being Zhuang Zhidie. The female protagonist on these pages was Liu Yue, describing Zhuang Zhidie feeding Liu Yue plums.

Feng Yiping understood why the girls had been so united and secretive these days, and why they had tried so hard to get the pages back. It turned out they had torn apart a copy of "Waste Capital" into several pages to exchange and read.

Seeing his smile, Wen Hong couldn't stay any longer. She stomped her foot and ran back to her seat.

Feng Yiping was also a bit at a loss for a moment. He hadn't expected the secret to be this. He didn't know what to say or do, why had he been so curious?

When he returned to the classroom, the female classmates were not as fierce as before. They all pretended not to see him. He also pretended that nothing had happened, returning to his seat. Wen Hong's face was a bit red, and she glared at him. Feng Yiping lightly tossed the pages to her, "What are you angry about? Good things should be shared. It's not a big deal, hiding and concealing like this. I read it in elementary school."

The female classmates who had been listening intently relaxed when they saw Feng Yiping's reaction. They were still embarrassed, but their biggest worry seemed to be averted. They were most afraid that Feng Yiping would report to the teacher, which would cause a lot of trouble.

Wen Hong stuffed the pages into her drawer, "Feng Yiping, you're so annoying!"

Feng Yiping quickly changed the subject, "Hey, you're almost flirting with me!"

Wen Hong countered with Feng Yiping's own words, "Feng Yiping, you really like to overinterpret things!"

Damn, it even rhymes.

This incident seemed to be a starting point. After that, all kinds of novels frequently appeared in the class.

The next evening, Feng Yiping saw several people fighting over a novel in the dormitory. What novel? In the end, the sports committee member, relying on his height and strength, got it. Feng Yiping went over and took a look. It turned out to be a genuine pornographic handwritten book! This kind of thing, which would later disappear completely, was very popular among the boys.

In the evening, he found that more than one classmate was reading a novel with a flashlight under the covers after the lights were turned off.

A few days later, after finishing "Waste Capital," Wen Hong switched to a romance novel. At this time, Taiwanese romance novels, represented by Qiong Yao, were very popular among girls. The plots were similar, basically retelling Cinderella stories in a different era, or adding modern elements to "The West Chamber." Of course, there was a pattern: many novels followed Qiong Yao's style and ended tragically.

Feng Yiping didn't remember the various entanglements between rich young masters and poor beauties in these novels. What he remembered was that in these mostly pirated novels, the rich young masters all drove "Pingzhi sedans." He immediately felt that this car must be very high-end. But what was Pingzhi? What was a sedan? Why hadn't he heard of it in China? Was it another high-end car made by the Japanese?

He later understood that the so-called Pingzhi sedan was what was known as a Mercedes-Benz in China, but they insisted on calling it a Pingzhi sedan.

We always like to show off various advantages, and at the same time, we produce various forms of discrimination, including linguistic discrimination. In the early days of the reform and opening up, because many investors from Hong Kong and Taiwan came, and many people in the coastal areas got rich, for a while, many people, regardless of whether they were from Hong Kong and Taiwan, spoke with a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent, thinking that speaking with a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent made them instantly stand out from the ordinary, looking very high-end and wealthy.

This discrimination didn't reverse until the early 21st century, when people from the mainland got rich, and those from Hong Kong and Taiwan started learning Mandarin.

Feng Yiping had never been interested in such romance novels. As a boy, he naturally preferred martial arts novels.

The content was roughly like this: a nobody, after a series of extraordinary encounters, learns supreme martial arts, marries a beautiful and wealthy martial arts lady, and then they wield their swords and travel the world, ready to act when necessary, righting wrongs in the world—like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that Feng Wen kept under his math textbook.

The martial arts novels circulating in the class included not only Jin Yong's, but also Liang Yusheng's and Gu Long's. In short, the works of the three major traditional martial arts novelists, later known as the "Three Musketeers of Martial Arts," were all there.

There were also Liu Canyang, Wo Longsheng, Wen Rui'an, Zhuge Qingyun, Yun Zhongyue, and others. It was unclear where all these books came from.

For a while, everyone was reading novels in class, even Huang Jingping, who was always diligent. During English class, Feng Yiping saw her reading a book under her textbook, sneaking a few glances when the teacher wasn't paying attention.

Zhang Qiuling, who had always been diligent, didn't read novels in class but openly read "Dream of the Red Chamber" during free time. Feng Yiping stubbornly believed that Zhang Qiuling reading "Dream of the Red Chamber" now was for the same reason he had read it the first time. Apart from the poetry, she was mainly picking out certain scenes. As for what scenes, well, you know!
