Chapter 6 Adaptation
The sunlight was a little dazzling and it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.
Liu Zhou was still sleeping soundly in bed. It was a rare day that he did not get up early, and everyone in the dormitory was also sleeping soundly.
This time, you don’t have to worry about the fatal whistle suddenly sounding at four or five in the morning, waking you up from your sleep.
The military training for freshmen officially ended yesterday.
In yesterday's military training performance, Liu Zhou and his team won first place.
In fact, there are only a few formations in the Central Academy of Drama, and everyone's performance is similar. Liu Zhou thinks that the reason why they were able to win first place is that their on-the-spot performance was better.
But no matter how unconvinced people from other majors are, first is first, and this is also Liu Zhou’s first honor since admission.
During the military training, everyone was whining, but when the training was over, they still felt a little reluctant.
This is a very strange emotion. I feel tired every day, but when it’s over, I feel uncomfortable and reluctant. But if you think about it, basically everyone is young, so this emotion is actually very normal.
Military training is indeed tiring. In just half a month, the impression of the instructor has been deeply engraved in everyone's mind. Maybe in the future we will remember the instructor's face more clearly than that of our classmates.
Even when they were parting, Liu Zhou noticed that the eyes of two more sentimental girls were a little moist.
But Liu Zhou felt that if the instructor said that they would continue military training for another half a month, they would definitely run away.
Liu Zhou slept until he woke up naturally. When he woke up, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Liu Zhou developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early since he was a child. Even after he started working, he did not change it. He just didn't pay much attention to eating and drinking at that time.
This time, Liu Zhou was not affected by his biological clock and just woke up now. The military training for half a month really made him a little tired.
Forget about the air conditioning in the dormitory of the Central Academy of Drama. Liu Zhou felt sticky when he woke up.
As there was still some time before lunch, Liu Zhou prepared to take a shower.
When it comes to taking a bath, Liu Zhou gets a headache.
This era was far less comfortable than that of college students in later generations. Many dormitories in later generations had separate toilets for taking showers, but in this era, everyone took showers in public baths, and they needed a shower ticket.
The weather in Guangzhou is hot and humid. In summer, people basically take a bath at least once a day. However, many people here only take a bath once every few days, which is a bit difficult for Liu Zhou to accept.
Therefore, Liu Zhou spends much more on bathing tickets than others.
That’s not a big deal. What he’s most uncomfortable with is taking a bath in a public bath.
Liu Zhou is not used to exposing himself completely to others, even to the same sex.
It’s not that Liu Zhou is inferior, he has a lot of talent, he’s just not used to it, he’s not used to having the same sex completely exposed in front of him.
But since I came to Beijing to study, I have to adapt to everything.
You need to adapt to the weather, living habits, and diet.
When Liu Zhou came back from taking a shower, no one in the dormitory had gotten up yet.
Only Wang Qingshan heard the noise and saw that it was Liu Zhou who said in a daze:
"Liu Zhou, you woke up so early?"
"It's getting late and it's almost time for lunch. Do you want to come with us?"
"I'll sleep a little longer. I don't feel like eating."
"Okay, then go back to sleep."
Liu Zhou got ready and went out to eat alone.
The cafeteria of the Central Academy of Drama is relatively small, but it has a wide variety of dishes and also has a halal window.
Today happens to be Sunday, so there are not many people here. Otherwise, the cafeteria would be a bit crowded during meal times.
Just when Liu Zhou was halfway through his meal, two people suddenly sat down across the table.
Liu Zhou looked up and saw that it was Zeng Li and Yuan Quan who were inseparable.
"Why are you alone?" Yuan Quan asked.
"They were all still asleep, so I came here alone."
After half a month of getting along, Liu Zhou and the two had a basic understanding of each other and were no longer as reserved as before.
After sitting down, Zeng Li suddenly smelled the fragrance of shampoo, and then looked at Liu Zhou's clean and tidy appearance, and said:
"Liu Zhou, have you taken a shower?"
"You know this as well?"
"You southerners love cleanliness. You wash more often than us girls." "I can't help it. I'm used to it."
"What do you boys usually do after class?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
"What's the lie?"
"The lie is that I usually read books in the dormitory and appreciate the analysis of classic plays and movies."
"What about the truth?"
"Discussing which girl in school is prettier!"
So which girl in our school do you think is the prettiest?" Yuan Quan suddenly asked.
"I usually don't participate in such superficial discussions." Liu Zhou said seriously.
"I don't believe you, then you guys can discuss who is the prettiest?"
"Uh, Zhang Tong from your class."
If the boys from Class 96 were asked to comment on the school beauties, the good-looking Zeng Li and Hu Jing would not be the candidates in everyone's mind. Zhang Tong would be the prettiest girl in everyone's mind, with a big braid, delicate facial features, lively eyes, skin so tender that water could be squeezed out of it, and she looked like an immortal.
After two years, the girls learned how to dress up, and the boys had more contact with her and their aesthetic taste improved. By then, Zeng Li's appearance would rise sharply in everyone's mind.
"So do you think pears are pretty?"
"It's beautiful. In fact, I think the pears are the most beautiful. Their aesthetic level needs to be improved."
When Zeng Li heard Liu Zhou's words, she pressed down the corners of her mouth, which were harder to hold back than AK, and said:
"Glib tongue!"
"Why would I lie to you? In a year or two, everyone will choose you as our school beauty!"
"What do you think of me?"
Liu Zhou looked at Yuan Quan, and seeing his big eyes staring at him, he told him the truth:
"You are a very elegant girl!"
"you die!"
"Why are you cursing when I'm praising you?"
"You mean I'm not pretty?"
"I didn't say that. You said it yourself. I'm done eating and you guys can eat slowly."
After saying that, Liu Zhou ran away with the rice bowl.
The worst thing is discussing which girl is prettier in front of girls!
When Liu Zhou returned to the dormitory, he saw that everyone was still sleeping and suddenly felt bored for a while.
There was nothing to do at the beginning of the school year, and I had completed the homework assigned by the head teacher.
Wasting time is not Liu Zhou's character. Now that he has some free time, he can think about how to make money.
That’s right, what Liu Zhou had been thinking about before was the same way countless other time travelers made their first pot of gold, which was to write novels.
This does not mean that Liu Zhou can perfectly remember all the written materials he has read in his previous life after his rebirth, but that he does have the foundation.
He was a screenwriter in his previous life. He had a decent ability to write stories and his writing skills were also pretty good. Writing novels was undoubtedly the best way to make money.
And the earning power of best-selling novels is not low!
Liu Zhou didn't think about writing serious realistic novels, as he might not be able to grasp the challenge. Writing such novels does require a certain level of cultural accumulation. Besides, he is only eighteen years old, and this type of novel is not suitable for his age.
So Liu Zhou chose youth romance novels.
Originally, Liu Zhou considered writing a martial arts novel, but there was nothing much to write about martial arts novels anymore, as Jin Yu, Gu Liang and Wen had almost exhausted all the martial arts routines.
The most important thing is that today’s fans of martial arts novels are already veterans and are not easy to fool!
On the contrary, few people are writing youth novels at present, but Liu Zhou knows that there is great potential in this field.
In later generations, Han Han and Guo Xiaosi became successful thanks to their youth novels. They even became youth leaders and idols of many young people.
Liu Zhou didn't care much about youth leaders or anything like that. What he cared about was that the two of them made a lot of money through novels.
