1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 7 Zhao Ruixue's Advice
At half past five, Zhao Ruixue walked out of the classroom briskly with a Jiefang bag slung around her waist and a book in her hand.

"Ruixue is going home today?" Ji Qinglan walked over and asked.

"Yes, I didn't go back last week. I'll go back this week and have a good rest."

Zhao Ruixue responded with a smile.

The two of them packed up and went back to the dormitory. On the way back to the dormitory, there were a lot of people. Today was a holiday, and the students were all excitedly sharing the joy of the holiday.

Some said that they would spend the whole day in the library on Saturday or weekend, some made appointments with friends to attend a friendship dance disco, and some went to the outskirts of Beijing to climb mountains together.

Zhao Ruixue and Ji Qinglan walked side by side on the scenic path of the school.

"It's great to go to school locally. I really envy you for being able to go home for two days every week. We don't have this blessing, alas."

Ji Qinglan, who knew that Zhao Ruixue was going home, said with some envy.

Nowadays, students going to college basically come from all over the country, including rural towns and cities, and they are of all ages, from 20 to 30 years old.

Ji Qinglan herself is from Xinyang, Henan, and her family lives in a rural town.

After going to college, I go back home basically once a year.

We could only communicate through letters once every two or three months, in which my parents would send me living expenses and letters about daily household affairs.

After all, I couldn’t afford the living expenses if I sent letters too frequently.

Among those in Zhao Ruixue's dormitory, she is the only one who is a native of Beijing, so she lives a more casual life.

Zhao Ruixue naturally understood that her friend was homesick after hearing Ji Qinglan's words, and she comforted her softly, "It can't be helped. It will be fine next month, and you can go home during the winter vacation."

"That's right!" Ji Qinglan's depressed mood improved a lot when she mentioned the winter vacation. She looked up at Zhao Ruixue and asked in surprise: "Hey... did you buy a scarf?"

The big red scarf is a fashionable item nowadays, especially when winter comes. Wearing a red scarf is both beautiful and warm, and many girls like it.

But the price is relatively expensive, so only some girls from well-off families will choose to buy it.

"How's it going? Does it look good?"

Zhao Ruixue pursed her lips, stopped and turned around on the spot. The bright red scarf and the ink-black hair flew away as she turned, just like a ballerina.

Ji Qinglan looked her up and down. Today, Zhao Ruixue was wearing a large black sweater with a deep collar and a military coat. She looked no different from usual, except that she had a red scarf around her neck.

She had a pretty oval face, which was slightly round on the upper part, with a full forehead, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and a slightly pointed lower part shaped like a melon seed. Her nipples and wheat-colored skin added an indescribable heroic air.

"Very beautiful, but it would be better if your skin was whiter."

Ji Qinglan touched his chin and commented.

"When the educated youth went to the countryside, they were exposed to the sun while working. This is good. If I were whiter, those boys would be even more annoying."

Zhao Ruixue nodded, and then said with some distress.

Ji Qinglan couldn't help but said with a smile: "It's just that there are more love letters, what's there to be afraid of, as long as she's beautiful. But those boys are really annoying, they came to me last time and wanted me to send them love letters, and they were written in a mess.

Hey... this scarf wasn't given to you by Song Jianchun? Was it? "

Speaking of this, Ji Qinglan couldn't help but have a slightly ambiguous smile on her face.

Maybe gossip is the most attractive to girls at any time.

Zhao Ruixue is also quite famous in the school. Firstly, she has excellent grades and is often among the top two in the department. Secondly, she has good looks, which attracts the attention of many boys.

Song Jianchun was acquainted with Zhao Ruixue. He was a well-mannered and talented man.

This person is a talented person in the Department of Literature. He has previously published some articles in the school magazine and also wrote a Misty Poem.

The poem goes like this:
In the veil of night,
The moonlight casts your smile,

The stars whisper in the breeze,

Love is like a shadow, like a dream.

The deep pool in your eyes,

Hiding endless tenderness,
Every time we look at each other,
It's like traveling through time and space for thousands of years...

He wrote pretty good poems, and the boys and girls who loved literature in the school were amazed by him. The girls in Beijing Normal University all called him a great talent.

It is said that this poem was written for Zhao Ruixue. No one dares to be sure, but everyone thinks so privately.

"No, I bought it myself."

Zhao Ruixue shook her head slightly. She bought it herself yesterday.

The two returned to the dormitory, packed their things, and Zhao Ruixue took a bus home.

Half an hour later, we finally returned to Xiaowei Hutong.

I don’t know what kind of mood I am in or what kind of pace I am taking.

Although she no longer had feelings for him, Zhao Ruixue felt complicated when she saw the person she once loved again.

"College students are back?"

"Yes, Aunt Wang."

Zhao Ruixue greeted him with a smile and then went back to her home.

As soon as he entered the door and put his things away, he was about to go out to find Cheng Kaiyan, but he stopped abruptly.

……

At night, the courtyard becomes lively.

In Cheng Kaiyan's room, a young man in dark blue work clothes sat halfway on the desk with his fat buttocks resting on it. Wang Nanhua said cheerfully, "You are finally back. I haven't seen you for four or five years!"

"Yes."

"How have you been these years? Being a soldier must be much harder than going to the countryside, but you should be able to eat enough. I remember that when I went to the countryside, I didn't have enough to eat every day and lost dozens of pounds due to hunger. Fortunately, I came back early." Wang Nanhua sighed.

"It's okay, but the art soldiers also need training... I don't see that you have changed much."

Cheng Kaiyan lowered her eyes and glanced at the fat man Wang, who was full of flesh, and said speechlessly.

"Hasn't he grown back after two years in the city?" Fatty Wang wiped his mouth embarrassedly. "By the way, Zhao Ruixue is back from vacation too. Didn't she come to see you?"

"No."

"Tsk tsk, that's true... Now that they've been admitted to university, they don't even look at people straight in the eye. Haha, what kind of person is that!" Wang Nanhua smacked his lips, and then told Cheng Kaiyan about the fact that she ignored him when he greeted her proactively before.

"Maybe I'm too busy at university."

Cheng Kaiyan waved her hand. It seemed that Zhao Ruixue had a closer relationship with her in the hospital.

"Maybe. Forget about her. What are you going to do? My mom said you were messing around with other women in the army, and your superiors didn't assign you a job." Fatty Wang asked curiously. "You...you believe this?"

Cheng Kaiyan was speechless for a moment, not a buddy...

Aren't you just opening it right next to my face?

He also exposed the gossip and the people who spread it behind the scenes.

"Hehe, hehe, sorry, my mother is just like that." Wang Nanhua smiled embarrassedly, feeling a little awkward.

"To go to college."

"To go to college. When I first came back to the city, I also wanted to go to college. But I stayed at home for half a year and didn't achieve anything. I got 66 in the college entrance examination. I said it was a good thing. Everything went well. My mom was so angry! She almost broke my legs. Later, my dad retired and I took over his job. That's when things got better."

Wang Nanhua winked at Cheng Kaiyan and spoke like pouring beans, talking about his dark history non-stop, focusing on his simplicity.

Brother, you have blocked the way!
Cheng Kaiyan thought to herself, no wonder my mom didn’t believe me when I said I would take the college entrance exam, it turns out there was a precedent in the yard!

These days, sitting at home to take the college entrance exam is just like some young people in later generations sitting at home to take the postgraduate entrance exam and the civil service exam, not daring to look for a job.

It's pure bullshit and pure excuse.

The two exchanged greetings for a while and then went home to eat.

At seven o'clock in the evening, night fell.

Cheng Kaiyan put on a military coat and sat at the desk, writing with a pen in his hand. A string of words flowed out from the tip of the pen:

"At the age of fourteen, I decided to start a fantasy of the seabed. I drew detailed sketches on the back of my class notes and designed a submarine. The material was set to be the strongest alloy, the engine was a perpetual motion machine, and the whole submarine was shaped like an olive...

The internal structure of the submarine is exactly the same as the second floor of my house... My idea is that during the day, this floor is just this floor, and at night, as long as I press the button on the desk, the interior space of the entire floor will be transferred to a submarine and sail in the sea.

My mother was sleeping quietly next door, unaware of anything. It was dark outside the window, and she didn’t know whether it was the night or the sea…”

……

It was dark outside the window, and I couldn't tell whether it was the night or the sea.

The north wind was still blowing, making the plastic shed in the yard gurgle. It was almost nine o'clock.

"Two days of fishing and three days of sifting the nets, I finally finished writing it."

Cheng Kaiyan put down his pen, rubbed his sore waist, and picked up the teacup to take a sip.

The tea is very cold.

But no matter how cold the weather is, his heart that yearns for a better life and his red and fiery Chinese heart cannot cool!

Royalties! Come quickly!

At this time.

"crunch~"

The old, rusty iron hinges of the door made a teeth-grinding sound, and a short-haired girl wearing a cotton coat and a red scarf came in. She was tall and thin, about 1.7 meters tall.

"Zhao Ruixue? You're still awake so late, what's wrong?"

Cheng Kaiyan asked in surprise. He had just heard Fatty Wang say that this girl became very aloof after being admitted to university. He didn't expect that she would take the initiative to come to him.

Zhao Ruixue looked at the guy in front of her whom she once liked very much, and suddenly she felt a little disappointed.

The familiar high nose bridge, bright eyes, wearing a military coat and sitting on a chair, looked so ordinary. Or maybe he was so ordinary to begin with, but his past self only gave him a golden appearance.

She gathered her thoughts and said with a smile on her face, "I heard you were back in the city, so I came to see you. Don't think too much."

"Thank you for coming to see me. Why are you standing? There are no extra stools. You can sit on my bed."

Cheng Kaiyan said casually.

"No need, I just came to see you, and I suddenly noticed that you have changed a lot."

Zhao Ruixue declined politely. Perhaps she realized that her tone sounded a little distant, so she quickly adjusted herself and asked, "I heard that you plan to go to college?"

"My mother told you?"

Cheng Kaiyan stood up and gave her seat to Zhao Ruixue. This time the girl did not refuse and sat down directly.

"Well, have you decided which university to apply to?"

Zhao Ruixue asked with a smile, her hands on the table, her eyes fixed on Cheng Kaiyan.

"Peking University, right? It just has one less word than your Beijing Normal University." Cheng Kaiyan said in a joking tone.

"Pfft, then I wish you good luck."

Zhao Ruixue was amused and chuckled, but shook her head secretly.

She just knows how difficult it is to get into college.

Zhao Ruixue was still studying in the countryside. She didn't think that Cheng Kaiyan would be able to pass the exam immediately if she started studying again after wasting four or five years of her life in the army art troupe.

This is neither realistic nor scientific.

"But you can take the exam and find a job at the same time. You have to put your eggs in two baskets." Zhao Ruixue advised.

"Of course."

Cheng Kaiyan glanced at the snow-white manuscript paper under the radio on the desk.

The look in his eyes was obvious. Zhao Ruixue noticed it and glanced down: "Submarine at Night"

???

Cheng Kaiyan is writing something?
Fiction or prose?

Zhao Ruixue's curiosity was immediately aroused, and she felt itchy like a cat's claws scratching her heart.

Just when Zhao Ruixue was struggling, Cheng Kaiyan remembered the review notes and asked, "Ruixue, can you lend me your exam notes?"

"What?" Zhao Ruixue was concentrating on the manuscript and didn't hear clearly for a moment. When she heard Cheng Kaiyan's puzzled voice, she asked hurriedly.

"Can you lend me your exam preparation notes?"

"Oh... this, I'll give it to you tomorrow..."

Zhao Ruixue responded nonchalantly. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a figure squatting outside the window. Her scalp suddenly went numb. She didn't have time to look closely at who it was. She stood up immediately and said, "Haha, it's getting late. I'll go back first."

With a bang, the girl closed the door and left in a hurry.
