Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 284: Spring Dream Without Trace "To Live" Published College Entrance Examination [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

In early November 1983.

After the final exams, Lin Yuan welcomed the winter vacation.

He still ranks first in the grade with an absolute advantage.

When Chang Xingyu found out, he was happier than if he had gotten first place.

Human power is limited. For ordinary people, trying to do two things at once will inevitably lead to loss of focus.

But Lin Yuan is different. In her eyes, a genius like Lin Yuan is someone who can do his best in every field.

The other students could only watch from afar and now they didn’t even have the courage to catch up.

I have been studying hard day and night, but the other person has been absent from classes for a month and is still at the top of the list. How can I not feel frustrated?
New Year's Eve.

After the family finished their happy New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Yuan brought Sanli to the yard, and a cold wind with a smell of fireworks blew in their faces.

He looked up at the night sky. The entire sky was incredibly clear, and the sky was full of twinkling stars, like countless silver beads, densely embedded in the dark night sky.

Occasionally, a meteor would flash by with a long silver tail, and then disappear into the endless night in an instant.

Although it was not the first time for him to look up at the starry sky, he was still shocked by it.

In the previous worlds he traveled through, Lin Yuan had almost never seen such a vast number of stars.

Even on a clear night, only a few dim stars can be seen.

As the ancients said, if you gain something you lose something.

The pace of the times will always take something away quietly.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Qiao Sanli's crisp voice brought him back to reality.

Lin Yuan slowly squatted down, and the light outlined her delicate eyebrows and eyes. The girl, who was only eleven or twelve years old, already had the appearance of a beauty on her childish face.

"I was wondering," Lin Yuan smiled and pointed at the night sky, "There are so many stars in the sky, which one is my Sanli?"

Qiao Sanli's cheeks flushed slightly, and she threw herself into his arms, her voice soft and coquettish: "I don't want to be a star, the stars are so far away... I want to stay with my brother forever."

"Brother can't bear to leave you either." Lin Yuan gently rubbed Qiao Sanli's blushing cheek with his fingertips.

Qiao Sanli bent down and gave a quick kiss to the side of Lin Yuan's face as he squatted. When the ends of her hair brushed across his neck, it made him feel itchy.

"Brother is going to set off fireworks." Lin Yuan shook the matchbox in his hand and said with a smile, "Stand back."

Qiao Sanli obediently took two steps back and then took half a step forward.

Lin Yuan pulled out a match and rubbed it across the phosphorus paper with a "sizzle". As the orange-red flame approached the fuse, the sound of burning came into his ears.

"call out!"

The fireworks shot straight into the sky with a tail of flame and exploded at the highest point.

Bright yellow light rained down, illuminating their faces into a honey-colored color.

Lin Yuan bought a lot of fireworks, including firecrackers, sky-piercing monkeys, and fairy wands.

Lin Yuan helped Qiao Sanli light the fairy wand, and sparks exploded. Qiao Sanli held it and turned around beside Lin Yuan, leaving behind a string of cheerful laughter.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when the family of three sat around a table with melon seeds and candies, watching the Spring Festival Gala.

This is the first Spring Festival Gala.

Lin Yuan looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene on the screen, and he felt quite emotional.

By the time the melody of Unforgettable Tonight sounded, Qiao Sanli had already fallen asleep in Lin Yuan's arms.

New Year's Day.

Wu Xiulan smiled and stuffed the New Year's money wrapped in red paper into the hands of the two children.

Lin Yuan knew that this was the love and blessing from his elders, so he accepted it without any hesitation.

The family of three put on new clothes and went out.

The temple fair was bustling with people, shouting, laughter, and firecrackers, and the atmosphere was filled with the strong flavor of the New Year.

Lin Yuan said to Qiao Sanli, "Sister Wen has a daughter who is about your age. Would you like to play with her? If you are willing, I will take you to Principal Wen's house tomorrow, okay?"

Qiao Sanli nodded vigorously.

In fact, she was happier to go out with Lin Yuan than with her new playmate.

Lin Yuan looked at the little girl's expectant expression, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

The reason why he did this was naturally to get rid of Wen Ju'an, the little light bulb, when necessary in the future, so that he could find time to do other things with Wen Xue.

Lin Yuan added: "If she treats you badly or you don't like playing with her, you can't wrong yourself, understand?"

Qiao Sanli raised her head, staring at Lin Yuan with clear eyes, and said in a soft but firm voice: "I know."

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the cold wind was filled with sporadic snowflakes.

Lin Yuan took Sanli to the Wen family.

Wen Qinghua, Wen Xue and Wen Ju'an are all here.

Wen Xue bit her lip, with a hint of panic and shame in her eyes.

The last time she saw Lin Yuan was the day he came back from the Asian Games and came to her house to give her a gift.

But late at night after Lin Yuan left, she had a hot dream.

In the dream, I was being galloped by him on his horse, and my legs unconsciously clamped around his waist.

Her rapid breathing was mixed with ambiguous whispers. When she woke up, her cheeks were hot and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

The feeling of being there was so humbling.

After all, she has lived alone for many years and hasn't done that kind of thing for many years.

I thought the last dream was just a coincidence, but after falling asleep last night, I dreamed of a similar scene again. It was also a world of two of us, and this time I also learned some new knowledge.

As a result, after Wen Xue woke up, she had to clamp the pillow with her legs, curl up in the quilt and sway gently.

Lin Yuan greeted Wen Jingyu first.

He nodded to Wen Qinghua and Wen Xue.

Finally, he introduced his sister, Sanli, to them again.

Wen Jingyu praised: "He won the championship in his first overseas competition. He is truly a hero at a young age."

Lin Yuan smiled and accepted it calmly.

Wen Jingyu changed the subject: "You should have finished writing your book 'To Live', right?"

He has been waiting for the rest of "To Live" for almost a year. If he had known this would happen, he would rather wait until Lin Yuan finished the book before reading it.

Lin Yuan handed the completed manuscript of "To Live" to Wen Jingyu with both hands and said with a smile: "I finally finished it during the winter vacation before the New Year. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to come and see you today."

Lin Yuan came to Wen Jingyu's house several times last year, but he was more interested in asking about some details and some things in each period, under the pretext of rounding out the characters.

In addition, Lin Yuan was in high school and had gone to Yanjing for training during the summer vacation. He also went to Tianzhu for a competition in November. His schedule was packed. Although Wen Jingyu was anxious, he couldn't rush him.

Wen Jingyu got the manuscript paper, showed a happy expression, stood up and walked towards the study.

"I'm going back to the study first. Don't leave in a hurry. Stay for dinner."

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement, then pulled out Qiao Sanli, who had been hiding timidly behind him.

"Why don't you and Igan go play in the room for a while?"

Qiao Sanli looked at Lin Yuan, then at Wen Ju'an.

Wen Qinghua encouraged his niece Wen Ju'an: "Go ahead and play with Sanli for a while."

The two little girls then returned to the room.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan accompanied Wen Qinghua and Wen Xue in the living room and chatted leisurely.

Lin Yuan and Wen Qinghua talked more. Wen Xue nodded slightly and smiled from time to time, indicating that she was listening, but she would speak a few words occasionally.

Lin Yuan suddenly asked Wen Xue: "Sister Wen, did you not get enough rest last night?"

Wen Xue raised her wrist slightly, her fingertips brushed the broken hair on her temples, her eyes evasive: "Yes, I've been too busy with work recently."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I went to Tianzhu before. There is a popular sport called yoga there. I heard that it is very helpful for falling asleep. If I go to Tianzhu next time, I will see if I can bring back a yoga book."

Wen Qinghua at the side also said: "I have heard of yoga, it does have many benefits for the body."

Lin Yuan added: "It not only improves sleep, but also promotes metabolism, enhances body flexibility and sense of balance, and can effectively reduce accidents such as falls."

Wen Xue's face turned slightly red. Somehow, she suddenly thought of the high heels that Lin Yuan gave her.

Could it be that Lin Yuan wanted to be able to wear those high heels more easily?

Wen Qinghua asked with a smile: "But I don't know when you will go to Tianzhu next time, right?"

Lin Yuan shrugged: "Yeah, as for the yoga book, I can only look elsewhere. But I don't plan to participate in the next few competitions. We have to give young people some opportunities."

Hearing Lin Yuan's mature and steady tone, Wen Qinghua couldn't help but laugh, and even Wen Xue curled up the corners of her mouth.

Wen Qinghua joked: "If you are not considered a young person, then what are we?"

"Teacher Wen is so elegant and Sister Wen is so beautiful, how can they not be considered young people? The young people I mentioned are the new talents in the archery team. They should be allowed to experience the taste of being a champion. If I keep monopolizing the championship, it will not be a good thing for the sport of archery."

Wen Qinghua nodded secretly. It was rare to have the ability but not cling to power.

"As outstanding as you are, you should be very popular with girls in school, right? Have you ever secretly dated a female classmate?"

Wen Qinghua suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked a question. Wen Xue beside him also pricked up her ears unconsciously and her eyes quietly fell on Lin Yuan's face.

"I'm not interested in dating a bunch of little brats. Besides, I'm still a student and my studies are more important." Lin Yuan said seriously and changed the subject. "Teacher Wen, please stop talking about me. It's time for you to think about your lifelong affairs, right?"

Wen Qinghua smiled and shook his head: "It's still early for me, don't worry, fate will come when it's meant to."

The three of them chatted for a long time, and Lin Yuan went into the house again to look at Qiao Sanli and Wen Ju'an.

The door was open and no sound came from inside.

Qiao Sanli was of a quiet nature, and Wen Ju'an was a little introverted. The two little girls sat quietly in the room, staring at each other.

Lin Yuan was thinking about coming up with a game suitable for two people to play together, so that they could quickly get familiar with each other.

"Brother, how about I play a game with you guys? If you can guess the answer, I'll bring each of you a stuffed toy this big next time, how about that?"

Lin Yuan opened his arms and gestured.

The two women looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Lin Yuan wrote down a few simple words on a piece of paper and played the game of "You Draw, I Guess" with them for a while.

Sure enough, after playing for a while, the two girls, who were a little awkward at first, gradually became familiar with it after successfully cooperating again and again.

Lin Yuan and Sanli had lunch together at Wen's house, while Wen Jingyu was still reading in the study.

Lin Yuan chatted with Wen Qinghua and the others while waiting patiently. He was not really sending "To Live" to Wen Jingyu for revisions, but to use his influence to make the book quickly popular across the country.

Wait until four o'clock in the afternoon.

Wen Jingyu walked out of the study, with tears still on his face.

He had obviously cried.

He read the tragic story of Fugui in the book, and the people around him left him one after another, which reminded him of his wife who committed suicide because she could not bear the humiliation. He could not suppress his grief.

Wen Qinghua and Wen Xue both looked at Wen Jingyu in surprise.

Lin Yuan was not surprised. Someone once said, "To Live is a book that cannot be closed once opened, and it is also a book that you cannot bear to open again once closed."

"Dad, are you okay?" Wen Qinghua asked with concern.

Wen Jingyu raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, his fingertips still trembling slightly.

He looked at his children with concerned eyes, his lips moved twice, and his voice was hoarse: "I'm fine, I just remembered some old things. What is written in the book is too bitter, like a knife, it hurts my heart."

After a pause, his Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, "After your mother passed away, I always felt that the word 'alive' was too heavy... But Fugui in the book gritted his teeth and got through it."

Neither Wen Qinghua nor Wen Xue had ever thought that a book could have such a huge impact on Wen Jingyu, the president of Nanjing University.

What kind of book is this?
Wen Jingyu looked at Lin Yuan, his cloudy eyes full of inquiry: "Tell me, how do you view the word 'alive'?"

Lin Yuan looked calm as he began to speak, "To live, as a word, is full of power in language. Its power does not come from shouting or attacking, but from enduring, enduring the responsibilities that life has given us, and enduring the suffering, boredom and mediocrity that reality has given us.

Tolerance does not mean giving up, it is a belief and a faith.

To be patient, you must be open-minded and able to endure.
Just like weeds in a rainstorm, some are broken while others continue to grow while bending over.

Breaking is not cowardice, and growing is not easy.

Some people live because they are afraid of death, some people live to wait for the day when the clouds will clear and the sun will shine, and some people live simply to live.

This is the will to live.

This is also the original intention of my writing this book.”

Wen Xue looked at Lin Yuan infatuatedly. She felt that at this moment, the way Lin Yuan's eyebrows were relaxed when he spoke, his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of light, which strongly attracted her.

Wen Jingyu also nodded continuously and said seriously:

"I am not qualified to make corrections to this great work. If you need anything else, I can help you, but there is nothing I can do for you regarding this book."

“Principal Wen, I want to publish this book so that more people can experience the tenacity of life, understand the normality of suffering, and cherish ordinary happiness.”

"We at Nanyang Technological University will have our own publishing house by next year at the latest. However, in this case, your book may not be published until the first half of next year. But I will try to expedite it. Can you wait?"

If Nanjing University Press can successfully publish such an excellent work as "To Live", it will definitely bring in rich economic benefits, and it will also be able to host many related academic activities and enhance the cultural status of the publishing house.

The first half of next year is exactly the second semester of senior year, so considering the time, it is acceptable.

"Of course. Principal Wen, as the first person to see this book, I would like to ask you to write the preface for To Live."

"Okay, okay." Wen Jingyu responded repeatedly.

To be honest, writing the preface for "To Live" undoubtedly elevated Wen Jingyu's status.

But in the early stage, borrowing Wen Jingyu's fame and influence will definitely increase a lot of exposure.

Besides, who says that only one person can write a preface?

It would be the same if Lin Yuan added a preface later.

Wen Jingyu went straight back to the house and started writing:

In fact, I feel deeply ashamed to write the preface for this book. I did not participate in the writing of the book. I just provided a few memories that I don’t know whether they are useful or not.

Lin Yuan said to me, as the first reader of this book, please write the preface for me.

So I picked up my pen and wrote the preface for this book.

This book tells the story of..."

After the event in "To Live" was over and it was getting dark, Lin Yuan took Qiao Sanli's hand and put it in his pocket, and the brother and sister went home.

……

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Yuan made up an excuse that the archery team needed him to go over for training.

In fact, he accompanied Ma Suqin on the train heading south.

They have to take a train from Nanjing to Shanghai, then go to Guangzhou, and finally arrive in Shenzhen.

After arriving in Shenzhen, the two first traveled around and bought a lot of things, and then began to look for supply channels.

Ma Suqin specially bought a suit for Lin Yuan. After Lin Yuan put it on, he looked very energetic.

The two of them are now even more compatible.

It's like a newlywed couple going out on their honeymoon.

After the supply issue was settled, Lin Yuan planned to go back and let the recruited employees be responsible for the subsequent transportation of the goods.

As the winter vacation was coming to an end, the two returned to Nanjing.

After Lin Yuan followed Ma Suqin back home, he suddenly took out a handful of heavy objects and stuffed them into Ma Suqin's hands.

Ma Suqin was stunned, "This..."

Lin Yuan explained: "After the clothing store business picked up, I couldn't always be by your side to protect you. With this self-defense, I can feel more at ease."

Ma Suqin is beautiful and her business is growing bigger and bigger. Lin Yuan is also worried that she will attract people with bad intentions.

“But I haven’t used this.”

Ma Suqin was a little troubled. She was a woman and had never been exposed to this thing before.

"It's okay. I'll take you to a place on the weekend and teach you how to use it." Lin Yuan said calmly, "In fact, I hope it won't be used more than you do."

Only then did Ma Suqin nod.

Lin Yuan left Ma Suqin's house and went to Wen Xue's house.

He first gave the big stuffed bear in his hand, which was taller than Wen Ju'an, to Wen Ju'an.

The big bear's deep brown eyes stared straight at her, and its fluffy fur looked particularly soft.

When Wen Ju'an saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up and his face was full of surprise. He couldn't wait to hug the big bear, burying his little face in the soft fur and rubbing it.

Girls often find it difficult to resist big, soft stuffed toys.

The stuffed bear given to Wen Ju'an is slightly smaller than the one given to Qiao Sanli.

Lin Yuan still has selfish motives, after all, he prefers Sanli more.

He also gave Wen Xue a yoga book and told her to practice it, saying it would be good for her health.

Lin Yuan doesn't have any other bad intentions. Yes, that's right, he doesn't.

At that time, Shenzhen introduced countless foreign books from abroad, and Lin Yuan took some effort to find them.

He didn't stay long, and left in a hurry after giving the gift.

But when Wen Xue opened the yoga book, she saw the people on the color pages wearing thin fabrics and posing in various bending and twisting postures, outlining their body curves very clearly. Her face suddenly turned red, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that these postures were too embarrassing and a little weird.

Time flies and it is 1984.

The workload in the third year of high school is becoming increasingly heavy. The classroom is filled with a tense atmosphere and the students are studying hard like clockwork.

Everyone knows that the college entrance examination is an important opportunity to change your destiny.

Only Lin Yuan was still leisurely and lived every day leisurely. In his spare time every day, he would still amuse Chang Xingyu as usual.

Chang Xingyu seemed to be much more mature than before. She no longer kicked him like before, and her behavior became more and more ladylike. She didn't know if it was because she was too embarrassed to move her feet because Lin Yuan threatened to tickle her feet last time.

That weekend, early in the morning, when Qiao Sanli was about to get up and put on her clothes, she suddenly felt a warm current flowing through her lower body. She looked down and saw bright red blood staining her pants.

"Brother!" she shouted towards the yard in panic.

At this time, Lin Yuan was practicing archery in the yard.

[Physique: LV5 (666/5000)]

It is not only a training for oneself, but also a show.

He's going to compete in the Olympics this summer.

When a senior high school student studies hard in school and practices archery diligently at home, he is able to balance his studies and excel in sports, and finally achieves amazing results. People like to hear such stories, don’t they?
Hearing the sound, Lin Yuan quickly walked into the house.

"what happened?"

Qiao Sanli's eyes were filled with tears: "Brother, I am bleeding, so much blood."

"Where are you injured?" Lin Yuan asked anxiously.

"here."

Qiao Sanli pointed at herself, and Lin Yuan finally reacted and burst out laughing.

"It's normal for girls to be like this as they grow up. Blame me for forgetting to tell you before. I'll go get mom."

After Wu Xiulan arrived, she patiently helped Qiao Sanli clean up, patiently taught her how to use sanitary napkins, and carefully explained the principles and precautions of menstruation.

After everything was done, she shyly returned to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan touched her head and said, "From now on, you and mom will sleep in the same room."

"No, I'll live here." Qiao Sanli shook her head stubbornly.

Lin Yuan did not persuade him any more. He would be admitted to university soon and would definitely move out. He would not have much time left to live at home.

In May of the same year, "To Live" was published, causing a sensation in the literary world.

……

During the last half month of the college entrance examination, the school was on holiday to let the students go back to review on their own, but the teachers still stayed in the school, ready to answer questions from students at any time.

Lin Yuan has spent most of the past half month with Chang Xingyu, helping her to find and fill in the gaps.

"Have you decided which school you want to apply to?"

The current college entrance examination policy is to estimate scores and fill in the application form after the examination and before the results are released.

With Lin Yuan's grades, as long as he performs normally, he can get into either Peking University or Tsinghua University.

Lin Yuan didn't say it directly, but jokingly said: "Why? Do you want to be my deskmate for another four years?"

Chang Xingyu bit his lips shyly and said nothing.

Lin Yuan winked at her and said, "I'll be the first to tell you on the day you fill out your application."

The college entrance examination ended on July 9th, which was also Lin Yuan’s birthday.

Lin Yuan has finally come of age!
However, he did not have the opportunity to release himself immediately. Instead, he hurriedly packed his bags and headed straight to Yanjing to accept the call-up of the national team.

The Olympic Games are about to begin.

This was the first time that New China participated in the Olympic Games after many years.

All of China's eyes are on the upcoming Olympic Games.
