1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 60: Introducing a date to Liu Xiaoli? (Thanks to Hope Time Can Turn Back for the points reward)
"Professor An, long time no see. I didn't expect that we were destined to meet. After meeting on the train, I didn't expect to meet again at the musical theater."

Just when An Shaokang was heartbroken, the young man who had just had a good chat with Liu Xiaoli suddenly walked towards him.

An Shaokang looked up subconsciously, and saw a familiar face appear in front of him under the dim light, and his pupils shrank.

Isn’t this… the young university assistant I met on the train?

How did he know Comrade Liu Xiaoli?
An Shaokang was in a mess at the moment, but he still maintained a graceful demeanor, "Hello, hello, it turns out to be you, Comrade Xiao Cheng, it's a pleasure to meet you, but it's getting late, and I have something else to do at home, so I won't talk much more."

After saying that, he left, leaving behind his back.

"Kaiyan, do you know him?"

Liu Xiaoli asked curiously, could it be Comrade Xiao Cheng’s friend? If so, did she say something wrong just now? Was she too cold?

"Not really an acquaintance, but I just met him once on the train before, and I even won a few cents from him playing Landlord."

Cheng Kaiyan explained.

Liu Xiaoli blinked, as if she didn't expect Cheng Kaiyan to play Landlord, and then asked: "By the way, when are you going back to Beijing? When the fifth day of the Spring Festival comes, there will be a cultural performance in the city to celebrate the New Year. Many cultural and artistic units in the city will perform there, just like a small Spring Festival Gala.

Moreover, leaders from the city and province will come to see it. If you have time... I will reserve a seat for you then."

"We'll go back on the 9th, when the Chinese New Year comes. There's still time. I'll definitely go on the 5th."

"Then let's go for a walk around Jiangcheng after the 5th. You've been here for a few days, and I've been training all the time, so I don't have much time to walk around with you. But after the 5th, I'll have time.

You can go to East Lake and Lingbo Gate to have a look. The scenery is very beautiful. By the way, our teacher Jiang Ling has a Seagull film camera at home. We can borrow it to take some pictures when the time comes."

The two walked side by side on the road, excitedly planning their itinerary for the next few days.

……

At the same time, on the other side, An Shaokang met an acquaintance in the theater.

"Shao Kahn? Are you here to watch the show?"

Two middle-aged women in their forties or fifties were walking towards us, one with short hair and wearing a well-cut coat, and the other wearing an ordinary cotton jacket.

"Aunt Xiaomin? Yes, I came to see the show."

An Shaokang recognized that it was his mother's good friend Aunt Zhou Xiaoming, who worked in the logistics department of the song and dance theater as the deputy director, so he responded with a smile.

"You came to see Liu Xiaoli's performance, right? Why didn't you give out the gift?"

Zhou Xiaomin looked down and saw An Shaokang holding a bouquet of flowers and saying with a smile.

“Ha, it wasn’t sent out.”

In response to this, An Shaokang could only smile awkwardly. He was originally full of confidence, but was broken by Comrade Liu Xiaoli's words.

They don't even know him.

"Liu Xiaoli is indeed a little arrogant. She doesn't look like a people's artist at all. When Dean Fan assigned her the first-level art assistant position, I disagreed. She relies on her family background as a cadre and acts so high and mighty in the dance troupe... How can I see Liu Xiaoli being better than Hu Yanzhang? Her ideological problems alone are very serious!"

Zhou Xiaomin frowned and commented coldly.

"Director Zhou, our theater does not allow dancers to have casual contact with the audience, even when sending flowers. This is not Xiaoli's fault."

At this time, Teacher Jiang Ling, who had taught Liu Xiaoli's group of students for five or six years, frowned and tried to make amends for Liu Xiaoli.

Although Zhou Xiaomin is only the director of logistics, the logistics department has a lot of things to deal with, and any small move can cause trouble for people.

"Yes, Aunt Zhou, this has nothing to do with Comrade Liu Xiaoli."

An Shaokang didn't want to cause trouble for Liu Xiaoli, so he quickly explained.

"Oh, Professor An is really kind and gentle to women. Are you attracted to each other? How about Aunt Zhou be a matchmaker for you?"

Zhou Xiaomin joked with a smile.

The An Shaokang in front of him is the son of a good friend. The An family is a medical family and has considerable influence in Jiangcheng medical institutions.

What's more, my youngest son is also studying medicine, and I'm counting on their family connections to arrange a good job for him in the future.

So Zhou Xiaomin paid more attention to An Shaokang.

"Forget it. Comrade Liu Xiaoli seems to already have a partner."

An Shaokang was very moved. If he had known this would happen, why would he have waited for more than a year? It's a pity that the girl has already fallen into the arms of another man.

"impossible?"

Jiang Ling said in surprise, she had never heard that Xiaoli had a boyfriend!
But she quickly remembered what was going on and explained, "You are talking about that tall and thin gay man, right? He is Xiaoli's younger brother. He came to Jiangcheng from Beijing to do some work and came to see Xiaoli. He also gave me a bag of White Rabbit milk candy yesterday. He probably wanted me to take care of Xiaoli."

"younger brother?"

When An Shaokang heard this, he was overjoyed.

I thought to myself, I’ve never heard that Comrade Liu Xiaoli has a partner!

How come you suddenly have a partner? Turns out he’s your younger brother.

It's because of caring that you get confused. Even if it's a partner, you can still compete!

Besides, the young man is just an assistant teacher, maybe even a temporary worker!

I am a professor at Jiangcheng University! I am better than him in every way!"

"Liu Xiaoli is really good. She is worthy of you in terms of both appearance and family conditions. I will talk to Liu Xiaoli in a few days and let you two meet and get to know each other. Maybe it will work out! When the time comes, you must give me, Aunt Zhou, wedding candy!"

When Zhou Xiaomin heard this, he immediately made the decision.

Having said that, An Shaokang couldn't refuse, and he didn't want to refuse, so he agreed immediately, "Thank you Aunt Zhou."

"That's fine! We'll leave first."

An Shaokang leaned against the pillar in the corridor and watched the two of them leave. He felt a chill coming from the stone pillar, but he was still excited.

In just a dozen minutes, he felt that his life was like a roller coaster, from heaven to hell, and then from hell straight up to heaven.

"Comrade Liu Xiaoli..."

……

The next morning.

It was drizzling outside, and the whole city seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist. Ripples appeared on the Yangtze River in the distance, and the river water was extremely quiet.

On Jiefang Park Road, Cheng Kaiyan walked towards the theater holding an umbrella.

These few days he successfully bribed the theater staff and teachers and was able to enter and leave the theater freely, but he was not allowed to go to the girls' dormitory and locker room.

This made him somewhat regretful.

"What are you thinking about! It's not good to be too hot-tempered when young."

Cheng Kaiyan scolded her own dark thoughts in her heart and continued to move forward.

Although the streets are paved with blue stone bricks, Jiangcheng is a flood-prone city. Especially in the 1980s and 1990s, there would basically be water accumulation as long as it rained heavily.

Fortunately, he was wearing the rubber boots he had bought, and soon he arrived at the theater training room... outside.

Even if Cheng Kaiyan bribed a group of people, he could only look from outside the training room, and the floor inside was clean, so he couldn't go in with shoes on.

He could only look out the window.

In the spacious training room, the lights were bright and clear. More than a dozen girls in white tight dance costumes stood in a row, one leg raised up so that the leg was tense, and the other leg rested on the ballet bar fixed on the wall, doing stretching and balance exercises.

At the same time, the mirrors on the wall clearly reflect the light from above and the girls' graceful and beautiful figures.

The facilities in the entire training room were not complete and professional, far from what they were in later generations.

The mirrors are pieced together, and the floor is just an ordinary wooden floor, no different from the ones you use at home.

Professional dance floors are made of elastic wood floors or special dance flooring, which can provide good support and cushioning, reducing the impact on dancers' joints.

The lighting is quite sufficient.

"Sister Xiaoli, Brother Kaiyan is here. I don't know what delicious food he brought today."

In the crowd, Wang Danping clearly saw Cheng Kaiyan outside the window through the mirror in front of her, and then whispered something in the ear of Liu Xiaoli beside her.

"You just think about eating and drinking all day long. Why don't I eat you into a fat man?"

Liu Xiaoli scolded, but she did not look back. Instead, she kept her movements straight and immersed herself in training with full concentration.

"Alright! Take a break for twenty minutes!"

Following teacher Jiang Ling's command, the girls relaxed one by one. Some leaned on the barre, some sat directly on the ground, and some just lay on the ground and started posing.

“Work in pairs to relax each other.”

Teacher Jiang Ling frowned at the group of girls staggering around, but she didn't have the heart to scold them. She just asked them to massage each other to relax their muscles.

The group received instructions and stepped on their companions to massage their sore muscles.

Suddenly, the whole training room was filled with disturbing groans.

After the relaxation, Teacher Jiang Ling walked over to sit next to Liu Xiaoli, "Xiaoli, let me tell you something."

"What's wrong, Teacher Jiang?" Liu Xiaoli asked puzzledly.

"I suddenly thought, Xiaoli, you came to our opera house from Harbin, Heilongjiang in 70 to study there, and it has been ten years. Ten years."

Teacher Jiang Ling looked at the girl in front of her and said with some emotion.

She remembered that it was a winter day when a mother and daughter knocked on the door of the theater and passed the theater's assessment with excellent results.

It was also at that time that she became the teacher of Liu Xiaoli's group of students, and it has been ten years now.

"Yes, I remember that the teacher was not married at that time and was only 24 or 25 years old."

Liu Xiaoli nodded, and some beautiful memories flashed in her beautiful eyes.

In fact, Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater is both a literary and artistic unit and an art school.

The learning system is a six-year system, with dance teaching as the main focus and cultural knowledge teaching as the supplementary focus.

Many people in the dance troupe have lived together, learned dance together, and trained together since childhood. Many students and teachers have formed deep relationships.

After graduating in 76, the theater selected a group of outstanding students from among them to join the theater's dance troupe. There were eleven people in Liu Xiaoli's group.

The dance troupe currently has more than sixty people, ranging from teenagers to those in their thirties, from dancers to first and second level dancers.

"Xiao Li, you are almost twenty-one. What are your plans for the future? Will you stay in Jiangcheng and continue your dance career, or go back to Harbin?" asked teacher Jiang Ling.

"Of course I will continue my dance career! As for whether to stay in Jiangcheng or return to Harbin, honestly speaking, I haven't thought about it." The girl said with a firm look. She had thought about this a long time ago.

"I suggest you stay in Jiangcheng. You are old enough to date and get married. Find a good family in Jiangcheng and settle down there. It will be good for your life and career.

Director Zhou from the Logistics Department came to me yesterday and said that she wanted me to be a middleman. She wanted to introduce you to a blind date. What do you think? "

Teacher Jiang Ling said sincerely.

"Who do you want to introduce?"

Liu Xiaoli frowned and refused subconsciously.

Seeing this, teacher Jiang Ling waved her hand and reminded: "Dancing career is only a part of life. There are many other things in life. Abandoning other parts does not mean that you will definitely go further in your dance career. I hope you can think about it carefully."

"Teacher Jiang, I won't hide it from you. I'm actually dating someone."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head and explained.

"You mean Comrade Xiao Cheng? Don't try to evade me. Isn't he your brother? I've heard about it from other people."

"In fact, I won't hide it from you. Our families are old friends. We were engaged when we were children before we were born. We exchanged marriage certificates and are now living together."

Liu Xiaoli twisted her hands together, too embarrassed to say that she had already called off the engagement, so she just said that she was still in the relationship.

"So that's how it is,"

Teacher Jiang Ling nodded and said with emotion: "The person introduced by Director Zhou is really good. His family is full of intellectuals, and his parents are leaders of the hospital.

This man himself was very educated, a professor at Jiangcheng University, he was gentle and elegant, had a romantic personality and loved literature and poetry. He also translated Notre Dame de Paris... Oh, what a pity."

"Please help me decline."

"That's fine."

Teacher Jiang Ling frowned and sighed in her heart. Director Zhou was not an easy woman to deal with. She had a very poisonous tongue.

I hope there won't be any big trouble by then.

……

After the training, Jiang Ling went to the office of the Logistics Department to find Zhou Xiaomin and told her the situation tactfully.

"What? She refused, not even willing to meet? I've already made a promise!"

Zhou Xiaomin became furious when she heard this, as she thought it was a done deal.

What made her even more angry was that she had promised the An family, but Liu Xiaoli refused to even meet them and directly refused.

Afterwards, Zhou Xiaoming started to speak in a sarcastic tone in the office corridor in front of Jiang Ling, with an extremely sharp tone:
"You really think you are a rich lady. Professor Xiao An is a well-known rich man in Jiangcheng University. Whether it's his own conditions or his family's conditions, isn't it easy for him to be with Liu Xiaoli?
I kindly introduced such a good partner to you, but you turned around and found a naive young man?
He has no job and hangs out in the theater all day. At first glance, he looks like an unemployed migrant worker who has just returned to the city from the educated youth.

In terms of his background, Shao Kang came from a family of scholars and medicine. His father had been to the battlefield and his mother was a doctor who saved lives.

Regarding culture, Shao Kang is a graduate student from Jiangcheng University and is currently an associate professor in the French Department.

In terms of character, he is a gentle and modest gentleman.

In terms of salary, an associate professor makes more than 100 yuan a month.

What is there about that boy named Cheng that can compare with others?

There is no comparison at all! I don't have the ability, you know?

A world apart!

After all, you are just a young girl with shallow eyes. You will regret it to death in the future!

If you don't do it, there are plenty of lesbians who will do it!"
