Literary Master 1983

Chapter 20 You know each other well

In principle, each person has a library card, and you cannot lend books to someone other than the person you borrow. However, this is not the case in reality.

A library card costs three yuan, only a fool would spend money to get several. It is common for several people to use one card.

Alai deliberately said loudly: "Teacher Yu, go and help them borrow "Dream of the Red Chamber". It turns out that they are actors from the Zhanqi Song and Dance Troupe... They are going to participate in the art performance. They are all our comrades, and I can't let them dance and sweat and cry!"

"Comrades, what comrades? You are also at the cultural performance..."

"We are writers invited to participate in the performance. I am Alai and he is Yu Qie. We are from Wanxian."

The two girls were not stunned now, they immediately realized that they would meet him again at the art performance, so they rushed forward to introduce themselves and asked for help.

The reason why the two of them wanted to borrow books was because the shorter one, Dong, wanted to audition for the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", and the taller one, named Zhang Li, accompanied her.

Zhang Licai is an actor of the Zhanqi Song and Dance Troupe and will be performing at the Sichuan Opera House tomorrow. Her friend is her teacher’s daughter and her childhood friend.

These two are very young girls, Zhang Li is not even 18 years old yet. When she opened her mouth, people's hearts trembled, and the expectant look in her eyes...

Yu Qie had no choice but to use his library card as collateral.

"Teacher Yu, are you here to borrow books again?"

The librarian was a woman. She glared at the two girls, said "What a talent!" viciously, and brought the "Dream of Red Mansions" without saying a word. She also wrote down the book and Yu Qie's name in the notebook.

I cut!

From Wanxian!
"Zhang Li, what's wrong with you? You seem like you've lost your soul?" Zhang Li's friend asked her.

I saw that Zhang Li suddenly looked at Yu Qie, and she understood everything. She became nervous, and her exposed skin turned red, just like the area from the middle to the edge of the lotus petals, with pink dots connected into a large area, trembling slightly with her breathing.

"Are you Yu Qie?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"I'm Zhang Li!"

Zhang Li's face showed a strange expectation and worry, but Yu Qie did not show any surprise reaction, and visible disappointment appeared on her face again.

Maybe there is also a little anger and grievance.

"Now that we have borrowed Dream of the Red Chamber, let's take it and read it! Thank you, comrade!" Zhang Li turned around and said crisply to her friend.

----

The two girls lived in the family compound opposite the theater, and were on the same route as Yu Qie and the others. Now there were four of us, two cars, and two back seats.

The two girls were whispering and chatting for a while, and then Zhang Li's friend looked at Yu Che in surprise, and then seemed to fall in love with Alai at first sight. The two of them walked together, walking farther and farther, until gradually only Zhang Li and Yu Che were left together.

Yu Qie had a car, and Zhang Li knew the way, so they went together.

There is a later movie called "Under the Hawthorn Tree" which says that when the hero and heroine meet, they have to cross a stream. The boy is afraid that the girl will fall in, so he holds her hand. But he is also afraid that men and women should not be too close to each other, so he holds her hand with a branch.

This is an act to protect men. If they hold hands, the woman can yell "hooligan" and send the man directly to the sewing machine.

The publication time of the novel "A Moment of Romance" coincided with the nationwide operation to catch gangsters. Now the storm has begun. Yu Qi has a bright future in life, so he has to be cautious in this regard.

It was a distance of more than one kilometer. Biking was fast, but walking was very slow. The little girl was very lively and started to find a topic. She ran to the front and lowered her head so that Yu Qie could not see her expression. She had a braid on each side, and she actually walked while holding her braids.

Suddenly asked:
"I heard that you are a writer and came to Chengdu to attend a seminar. Teacher Yu, let me call you Teacher Yu first. Don't you have any other reasons?"

"what reason?"

"For example, what else do you want to do? You must come to Chengdu... Teacher Yu, I have been training in the art troupe for the past two years. Since I was twelve years old, I have never had time to think about anything else. The training is very hard. I get up at five o'clock every day to practice, no matter how cold the winter is, I have never thought about anything else, really."

"Then you are indeed having a hard time. You tell me the reason, and I have one too. I will use your way to the capital."

Zhang Li was as if facing a formidable enemy, like a furry cat with its back arched, "What is Mr. Yu doing in Beijing?"

"To go to school." "Going alone? That's inconvenient. Where's your father? Where's your mother? Did your girlfriend do well in the exam? Where did she go to school?"

A series of questions.

"Yan Da gives everything away, so there's no need to bring anything."

"Did you get into Yanda?"

“I repeated two years.”

Zhang Li said: "I have another question, did you forget to tell me... It was certainly very hard to prepare for the Yanda University entrance exam in the past two years. Didn't you have any female classmates to encourage you? You have such lofty ambitions and you are not bad looking, someone should care about you."

care?

In Yu Qie's memory, this guy was originally a taciturn otaku, with a personality similar to Chen Dongqing in "Chinese Partners". Compared with the concern of lesbians, this kind of concern may be an unbearable pressure for him.

Huang Xiaoming, who plays Chen Dongqing, is handsome enough, but he keeps silent all day long and looks sexually exhausted, making Chen Dongqing look like a loser - how important is self-confidence?

"Studying doesn't require encouragement from anyone. I was lucky and smart to pass the exam."

It’s not that Yu Qie was cheating, it turns out that this person will most likely not be able to get into Yanjing University no matter how hard he tries his best.

I don’t know why, but after hearing these words, Zhang Li danced briskly, and her braids trembled.

There are no lesbians yet!

Moreover, because she was walking too slowly, she fell next to Yu Qie. She put her hands behind her back and walked slower and slower.

Sneak peek at Yuqie.

Yu Qie, from Wanxian, repeated two years of study, which makes him two years older than me.

Everything fits right. It just fits.

Yu Qi looked down at her, and she also looked at him with a smile. She was so happy that she even tilted her head to glance back at him.

This little girl is so lively—aren’t we in the eighties now?
"Teacher Yu, don't be anxious, we still have a long way to go," said Zhang Li.

What does it look like? Yu Qie said, "We have arrived at the family compound."

Zhang Li lived in the dormitory of Building No. 4 in the theater's family compound. She was not annoyed, but was surprised, "So fast!"

"Teacher Yu, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, I'll bring my library card. Can you wait for me here?"

"This……"

"Teacher Yu? Teacher Yu~, Yu..."

"Okay, okay, I'll pick you up."

Yu Qie rode back to the guesthouse and packed his things. Alai arrived earlier than him.

"Haven't you found your habitat?"

"Hey! Someone stood me up. Not long after I left, she suddenly said she had a terrible stomachache. I asked her to give me a ride but she refused. She walked a few steps away from me and ran away. I didn't dare to chase her. If she yelled to catch a hooligan, I would be doomed." Alai said helplessly, "Yu Qie, what about you?"

"That girl is kind of lively."

"Being lively is good. What can a teenager think? She is in the Battle Flag Song and Dance Troupe. You know each other well and you won't see each other very often. After watching the performance, the day after tomorrow, aren't you leaving?"

"You don't know, that girl is too lively."

　It is said that Zhang Li accompanied her friend to the interview that winter, and her friend failed to be selected, but she was selected - I don't know if this is true, because there are a thousand similar plots in the entertainment industry. But here I use her own statement.
