Chapter 278: Misunderstanding of

Akiwara Yuto made his decision and began to ponder the literary theories in his past-life memories.

The so-called literary theory refers to the principles concerning the essence, development laws, and social functions of literature, focusing on the research of literary logic.

If subdivided, it can also be linked to literary history and literary criticism.

In different countries, due to different social forms, it is divided into different types and stages. In his past-life memories, what he studied the most was Marxist literary theory.

After pondering for half a day, he finally found some literary theories suitable for Japan and spent 2 days organizing them into a speech draft.

After finishing the writing, he wanted to find someone to review the draft but unexpectedly discovered that there was no suitable person around him.

Asano and Satake both dealt with popular literature and had no research on traditional literary theory.

Jin Shang, this lecture also had his intention to test him, so it was not appropriate for him to ask questions.

Qiushan Xiaozhi, the relationship between the two was more of an exchange of interests, so it was not good to disturb her.

After thinking about it, he took the Shinkansen directly to Kyoto University and found his "acquaintance" Yuanshan Xiuyi.

The other party strictly speaking belonged to the film literature field, which was a bit different from pure traditional literature, but after all, the paper published before was co-authored by him and himself, so he should know literary theory relatively well.

After informing him of the cause and effect, Yuanshan Xiuyi readily accepted the request to help "review the draft."

And after reading the whole thing, he expressed heartfelt admiration.

"Akiwara, the structuralist literary thought in your article has rarely been studied by the academic circle before. I think if you change it a bit, it can be published in a journal."

"Let's talk about this after the lecture." Akiwara Yuto waved his hand.

However, he was still a bit uncertain in his heart and asked: "Is there really no deficiency?"

Yuanshan Xiuyi originally wanted to say no problem, but he also saw Akiwara Yuto's emphasis on this lecture.

He hesitated for a while and said: "There are still 3 days until the lecture starts, why not try giving it once?"

Akiwara Yuto thought about it and felt this proposal was good, but soon discovered another problem.

But any lecture requires the cooperation of the local university, and it needs to rent an auditorium or other venues. If he did it now, it would be a bit rushed.

And if he gave his topic in a public setting, would he be considered "lacking confidence" by those people in the association?

After learning Akiwara Yuto's thoughts, Yuanshan Xiuyi laughed: "If you don't mind, come to my classical literature club's activity classroom tomorrow afternoon and talk to the members."

"However, there are only 30-something people, so it can only count as a small lecture."

Akiwara Yuto didn't expect there to be this solution and accepted it gladly.

After finishing the official business, Yuanshan Xiuyi, as the host, pulled Akiwara Yuto to a yakitori shop.

While drinking, he cared about his daughter Yuanshan Miho's life at the University of Tokyo.

"Akiwara, does Miho have a boyfriend at university?"

Akiwara Yuto hesitated for a moment and couldn't answer for a while.

His usual communication with Yuanshan Miho was purely one asking and one answering.

And Japanese people pay attention to personal privacy, so it was not good for him to ask about Yuanshan Miho's private life.

After failing to find an answer, he brushed it off with ambiguous words.

Yuanshan Xiuyi was a bit drunk at this time and said bluntly: "Akiwara-sensei, Miho is so beautiful, don't you have any thoughts?"

Hearing this question, Akiwara Yuto was embarrassed.

He actually had thoughts the first time he saw Yuanshan Miho, but he could also see that the other party only regarded him as a teacher.

And thinking of Satake Maki, who had confessed to him but to whom he had not replied for a long time, he really didn't know what to say.

Seeing Akiwara Yuto not answering for a long time, Yuanshan Xiuyi filled in a lot in his mind, and his drunkenness also faded quite a bit.

He was silent for a while, organized his language, and said a "heavy word."

"Akiwara-sensei, Miho is my daughter after all. If you don't intend to marry her, I hope you don't treat her as a lover."

Akiwara Yuto was even more speechless.

The so-called "lover" in Japanese refers to the meaning of a mistress.

But he and Yuanshan Miho were really clean; it was purely academic communication.

He looked at Yuanshan Xiuyi's serious expression and could only explain a lot, saying the two were just a pure "teacher-student relationship."

And after hearing everything, Yuanshan Xiuyi's expression relaxed.

However, Akiwara Yuto always felt that when he heard they were not dating, the other party's expression seemed to look a bit disappointed?

Time arrived quickly at the next afternoon. Akiwara Yuto followed Yuanshan Xiuyi to Kyoto University and entered the activity room of the Classical Literature Club.

After Yuanshan Xiuyi announced Akiwara Yuto's identity, the many students in the activity room were surprised and happy.

Because of his age and appearance, they originally thought Akiwara Yuto was a student joining the club, but didn't expect him to be a famous writer in the literary world.

For a time, the order in the activity room became completely chaotic, and many people even took out paper and pens wanting an autograph.

After discovering the chaos, Yuanshan Xiuyi "coughed" many times before maintaining order.

Immediately after, under his arrangement, a female student who was the club president arranged for everyone to set up chairs and sit down.

Akiwara Yuto also took the manuscript, stood in front of the activity room, and officially began his "practice lecture."

"Today, the theme I want to lecture to everyone is, *The Advancement of Japanese Traditional Literature and Modern Literature*."

As he spoke, he put down his manuscript and achieved a completely off-the-cuff speech.

While he was speaking, some students in the audience applauded from time to time and each performed very "attentively."

Time passed bit by bit, and soon 1 hour had passed, and Akiwara Yuto's lecture also ended.

The moment he heard the end, warm applause erupted from the audience.

Hearing the applause, Akiwara Yuto felt relieved in his heart. It seemed that if it was like this, there shouldn't be any problem with the formal lecture.

So he shook hands with the club members one by one and signed autographs for the students who hadn't gotten one before.

Actually, there were only 30-something people, so he finished signing quickly.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Akiwara Yuto left the club classroom with Yuanshan Xiuyi and began to walk toward the outside of the school.

Akiwara Yuto looked at Yuanshan Xiuyi and said with a smile: "Professor Yuanshan, thank you very much for giving me this practice opportunity. I think there shouldn't be any problem later."

But what surprised him was that Yuanshan Xiuyi frowned instead.

"Akiwara, do you really think there is no problem with this lecture?" ===== CHAPTER 279 =====
