Exciting 1979!

Chapter 198 Overnight

We said it was about liberating our nature, but how did it turn into a game of truth or dare?
Zhu Lin felt that what he asked was very rude. Isn't this enough to liberate his nature? How could he normally ask such a question?

Wei Ming didn't argue with her about the concept, but answered straightforwardly: "Yes, we have done it. We do it often."

Seeing how casually he spoke, Zhu Lin was worried that he didn't understand what he meant.

"I'm not talking about cuddling and kissing. I'm talking about at night, when you're sleeping, you know."

"Oh, you mean have Melinda and I ever slept together?" Wei Ming said with a smile, "Yes, she did. When I was on night shift, she was afraid that I would be lonely, so she often came down to sleep with me."

Zhu Lin still felt that Wei Ming didn’t understand what he meant. Just lying on a bed doesn’t mean “sleeping”, brother!

She suspected that Wei Ming was too naive, so she simply said: "When I say sleeping, I mean sexual intercourse. Do you understand what sexual intercourse means? It's..."

"I understand, it's about making love," Wei Ming said innocently, "That's what I'm talking about, what's wrong with that?"

What else? You guys are doing this even though you’re not married?!
Zhu Lin was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment. She had been reading romance novels for so many days and felt that love in the novels was very innocent, with kissing being the most innocent thing. But it turned out that you had already done it and did it often!

In front of that brat Wei Ming, she suddenly felt that she was the kid who knew nothing, while he was already a veteran.

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Wei Ming patted her hands and said, "Don't worry, we have taken safety measures. The condoms we use are imported..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Don't tell me those details." Zhu Lin stopped talking quickly. The old maid was a little overwhelmed.

Wei Ming said helplessly: "Since you don't want to hear about my private life, why don't we talk about yours."

Zhu Lin thought he wanted to hear stories about his ex, and thought to himself, what is there for us to talk about? We are both well-behaved people, and the most we could do before getting married is hold hands.

Wei Ming asked, "Have you ever had sexual fantasies about men other than your partner?"

Zhu Lin, who was already blushing, could no longer sit still.

"I'm thirsty. I'm going to drink some water."

Wei Ming: "Make me a pot of tea, thank you."

Her silence actually gave the answer.

Wei Ming lay on the blanket. Although he was curious whether that person was himself, he felt that Sister Lin was on the verge of exploding, so he did not continue to stimulate her.

After drinking tea, the two started the next step.

"Next we are going to do oral organ coordination training. This is not only to liberate nature, but also to help with speech. In the future, you will definitely have tongue twister exercises in class, and you can't do without a flexible tongue."

It sounds weird, but Wei Ming is talking about serious stuff and is not trying to make fun of her.

"Come on, follow my lead and start by sticking out your tongue."

When Zhu Lin saw Wei Ming sticking out his tongue, his first impression was that his tongue coating was really healthy!

My second reaction was to wonder if he was doing something indecent again, but seeing that his expression was very serious, I hesitated for a moment and finally followed him.

Fortunately, there was some distance between the two of them, so there was no need to worry about their tongues getting entangled.

Wei Ming's tongue was very flexible. Sometimes it turned and curled, sometimes it bounced and made sounds, and he could even speak eloquently, which made Zhu Lin dumbfounded.

"Are you sure this is the basic skill of being an actor?"

Wei Ming shrank back: "There are many tricks here, just learn them."

As he said that, he stood up and brought a mirror to Zhu Lin, asking her to practice from the basics until she had mastered it and it would be good for both us.

After practicing for a while, Zhu Lin felt dry in the mouth and his cheeks were tired.

"Teacher Wei~" She shook Wei Ming's arm and acted coquettishly, "I want to read a novel for a while. I'm about to finish that one."

"Then let's take a break." Wei Ming's heart was soft now.

"Is it time to prepare dinner?" Zhu Lin asked again. She would rather cook than practice her tongue.

Wei Ming: "Then I'll go buy some groceries. You can continue practicing while you read."

As soon as he left, Zhu Lin continued to watch "My Fair Princess". She was quite obedient. After she had rested enough, she started to practice multitasking again. The more she practiced, the more flexible she became.

However, while practicing, I happened to see the description of He Shuhuan and Yiping kissing, and the description was very detailed. Teacher Qiong is so good.

But what does it feel like to kiss? Zhu Lin couldn't help but close his eyes, as if there was a 19-year-old boy standing in front of him.

She suddenly realized that the exercises she was doing had other uses!
~
Before Wei Ming came back from shopping, Zhu Lin had finished reading "My Fair Princess". At this time, she picked up another book "Prince Charming" by Karen Cen, and unexpectedly got an unexpected gain!
"I am back."

"You're back, come and take a look." Zhu Lin enthusiastically asked Wei Ming to appreciate a painting drawn in pencil.

Wei Ming took a look and exclaimed, "It turns out Sister Lin can also draw!"

Zhu Lin asked with a smile: "How is the painting?"

"Okay! Although the brushwork is a little immature, you can tell it's me at a glance, and I painted it with great care. I'll frame it for you later," Wei Ming said, holding the painting. "Did you paint it from a photo or from memory?"

Zhu Lin: “I didn’t draw it at all.”

"You didn't draw it? That's..."

Zhu Lin: "It's your pen pal, the little sister."

Wei Ming: "Amin? When did she draw it? How come I don't know?"

Zhu Lin: "It's in the book 'Prince Charming'. It seems that in her heart you are her Prince Charming."

Wei Ming smiled: "Sister Lin, you are quite good at making associations."

"That must be what they mean. By the way, what does she look like? Hong Kong girls must be very Western."

Wei Ming: "How should I know what she looks like? I don't care at all."

Zhu Lin: "Oh? Didn't you exchange photos? Then how does she know what you look like?"

"Well, I did send her my photos, but it was one-sided and for a legitimate purpose."

"What legitimate use? If it's inconvenient to say, forget it."

"There's nothing to hide. I just joined an association in Hong Kong and I need photos."

"Association?" Zhu Lin asked worriedly, "You are considered a famous writer in China. Wouldn't it be bad to have any connection with Hong Kong?"

"It doesn't matter in Hong Kong. It's just a music association, not political. Don't worry."

"Music Association? Have you ever written songs for Hong Kong people?"

"Yes, to make money," Wei Ming said, "Otherwise, where do you think I got so much money to buy a house? I spent a lot of foreign exchange coupons at that time."

Zhu Lin looked at Wei Ming with some admiration. This kid was indeed too good to even be able to earn foreign exchange.

"Then sing me the new song you wrote."

"Let's not do this. I don't sing well. Please wait a little longer. The record will be sent to me in a while." Wei Ming changed the subject. "Okay, now we can cook. I'm hungry."

Zhu Lin took the painting and took a final look at it: "Okay, Prince Charming."

When Zhou Huimin received the letter from mainland China, she was a little nervous, wondering what Ah Ming would think of her painting of him.

Before her mother came back from closing the stall, Zhou Huimin returned to her room and opened the letter. Unexpectedly, she was hit hard from the beginning. Ah Ming bought a house in Yanjing! She had to change the address when writing letters from now on!
He also thanked me for helping sell songs. Zhou Huimin thought: So are the houses in Yanjing so cheap? I can buy a house with five songs?
Then Amin read the whole article but didn't see Amin mention the painting inserted in "The Prince Charming". Instead, he praised his own paintings of Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Amin was a little depressed. Did he not see it? Or was he embarrassed? I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to tell him: I can also draw, to shock him with my many talents. I also learned to play basketball recently.

"Amin, I'm back, and there are no fish balls left this time." Mother Zhou came back and brought good news.

Then the mother and daughter began to count the money. Today was another fruitful day.

During dinner, Zhou's mother asked a question: "Amin, how much do you think a 1,000-square-foot mansion in Hong Kong would cost?"

A thousand-foot luxury house is about 90 square meters, which is considered very good in Hong Kong.

"A house in a better location might cost around 800,000 or 900,000. Mom, don't think too far ahead. We live quite well here. The rent is cheap, and we can help each other with Uncle Ghost."

Zhou Huimin thought her mother wanted to save money to buy a house. Although her mother does make a lot of money now, it is just a drop in the bucket for buying a house.

Unless he goes to the mainland to buy a house, Amin suddenly thought of Amin again.

But that's not realistic. I heard that life in mainland China is very hard. A-Ming also wrote in his letter about problems such as food supply requiring coupons. They can't live like that.

Mother Zhou: "I didn't say I wanted to buy a house. It was Ah Gui who suddenly asked me about the housing prices in Hong Kong today. From what he said, it sounded like he wanted to buy a house."

"Does Uncle Gui have so much money? Did he win the lottery?"

Lao Gui: I don’t have one, but my grandson said he would buy it for me!

Lao Gui also received Wei Ming's letter and learned that his grandson had bought a 150-square-meter house in Yanjing.

If converted to a unit in Hong Kong, it would be a luxury house of about 1,600 square feet.

So today when he was selling pancakes, he mentioned the housing prices in Hong Kong to Zhou's mother.

In fact, it doesn’t matter where he lives. He can support each other by living in a public housing estate with Amin and her daughter. However, if his son and grandson’s family come to Hong Kong and really need a place to stay, they can’t make do with that.

So Laogui thought that when the time is right, he would expand his business and open a store. If he wants to make more money in Hong Kong, he has to be a capitalist.

He wanted to invite Zhou's mother to cooperate with him and make money together, but Zhou's mother did not set up the stall the next morning. She went to buy something for her daughter.

When Zhou Huimin returned home from school that day, she covered her mouth in surprise when she opened the door.

Because there is a piano in the middle of the not-so-big living room at home, a piano!
Mother Zhou wiped her hands and smiled at her daughter, "Get ready for dinner."

Zhou Huimin touched the piano. Although it looked ordinary and should not be very expensive, it was the king of musical instruments, the piano, and it was what she had always dreamed of!

She also thought that if Amin could continue to write songs and earn royalties, he would be able to afford it sooner or later. However, Amin did not write any songs during these two communications. It turned out that creation was not that easy.

But mother's love is so simple and pure.

Zhou Huimin hugged her mother and kept acting coquettishly to express her gratitude.

Mother Zhou: "Do you want to try it?"

"it is good!"

Zhou Huimin sat in front of the piano and played a song "Only Mom is Good in the World" (Amin: I didn't mean to say that Dad is bad.)
This is the song that Amin is most familiar with. Mother Zhou started to wipe away tears after hearing it. Seeing her daughter being so sensible, it was all worth it.

In Yanjing, Zhu Lin walked out of the unit after get off work and saw that the bad boy on the motorcycle opposite the unit was not there. He was stunned for a moment and then he remembered that Wei Ming had something to do today, so the teaching of liberating nature was suspended.

Don’t pause it, just terminate it completely, what is that all about!

Yesterday afternoon, their teaching went further. Wei Ming asked her to kneel in front of him with her butt sticking out and pretend to be his kitten or puppy. It was simply too much!
Although Wei Ming demonstrated it first to prove that he was not taking advantage, and his imitation was quite similar, Zhu Lin still felt very ashamed, especially since she was wearing a skirt yesterday, which was very inconvenient.

Humph, I will never wear a skirt when I go to his house again. But I have to bring a pillow with me because I can’t get used to the pillows at his house.

Even though I just took a nap there at noon, the quality cannot be compromised.

So Zhu Lin rode his bicycle to the department store, preparing to buy some necessary daily necessities for Wei Ming.

She felt that she was learning skills from Teacher Wei for free and eating his food, so she should do something for that family. So she bought some things that Wei Ming's family needed.

However, after buying the things, Zhu Lin thought that bringing these things back to the dormitory might arouse the suspicion of his roommates.

After thinking about it, she decided to send the things to Wei Ming's house first, since she had the key anyway.

Since we are going to his house, why not buy some food and make him dinner?

Is this a bit too much of a snail girl? Whatever!
She doesn't care, but the security guard, Old Sun, does. This is a stranger and cannot be let in easily, even if he looks good.

But she said she was looking for writer Wei and had been here before.

"Oh, you're the girl with the helmet."

"Yes, it's me. Xiao Wei is my younger brother. I came to deliver some things to him and cook a meal for him at the same time." Zhu Lin felt that Wei Ming's teaching was useful. He was very good at lying.

What brother or not, it can't fool me, Old Sun has a clear mind like a mirror, but he still let him go directly. Xiao Wei has never broken his promise to his father-in-law, he is a very particular person.

Zhu Lin entered Wei Ming's house and first placed his things in Wei Ming's sister's room, where she slept yesterday at noon.

Seeing that the house was a bit messy, she thought about cleaning it up first. This family was in desperate need of a housewife, so she just dealt with it temporarily.

However, when he went to the study, Zhu Lin found a stack of manuscripts on the table. Is this Xiao Wei's new work?

As a reader who has read all of Wei Ming's works, it is difficult to resist such temptation.

Do you want to take a sneak peek?

Zhu Lin thought of Wei Ming's previous words: Sister, just treat this place as your own home. Come whenever you want, stay whenever you want, and do whatever you want.

So Zhu Lin picked up the manuscript and sat in Wei Ming's seat to read it.

This name doesn't seem to be in the same genre as Wei Ming's previous novel titles. Instead, it seems to be from the same school as "Heroes Have Always Been Young". Both have seven characters, and the title is "The Battle of Qin Terracotta Warriors in Ancient and Modern Times".

There is also a brief introduction at the beginning: After Qin conquered the six kingdoms, Qin Shihuang's doctor Meng Tianfang fell in love with Dong'er, a young girl who was seeking medicine. After their affair was revealed, Dong'er was sacrificed in the terracotta kiln with blood, and Meng Tianfang was sealed in mud as a terracotta statue and buried deep underground...

Just reading the introduction makes me feel very interesting, and the key is that this seems to be a romance novel!

Although Xiao Wei was not interested in the romance novels read in Hong Kong, he did not expect that he was secretly writing them.

Zhu Lin quickly turned to the first page, and Wei Ming's words immediately dragged her back to that ancient and unfamiliar era.

As he watched, Zhu Lin forgot the time, forgot to cook, and even forgot that he hadn't eaten yet.

As for why Wei Ming hasn't come back so late, there must be something important.

At the Yanjing Hotel, Wei Ming, Wang Yang and other representatives from the Beijing Film Studio met Xia Meng and his group who had just landed and were staying there.

Xia Meng did not come alone, she also brought the director and his team.

"This is Director Xu Xiaoming," Xia Meng introduced.

Although the other party was very young, Wang Yang did not look down on him. After all, no matter how young he was, could he be younger than Xiao Wei? This was an era where the younger generation pushed the older generation forward, and the world belonged to the young.

Xu Xiaoming is only 27 years old this year, and he is indeed very young. His parents are both Cantonese opera actors. He has also undergone rigorous stage drama training since he was a child, and debuted in the film industry as a child star. Later, he began to learn martial arts, worked as a martial arts master, and worked with Cheng Long in "Four Emperors and One Queen". Now he has joined ATV as a director.

As a director, he has relatively little experience. He has directed a TV series "The Wrath of the Sword", a movie "Buddha's Palm Arhat Fist", and a unit of the yet-to-be-broadcast ATV series "The Good Earth".

Among them, "Buddha's Palm Arhat Fist" was co-directed by him and Yuen Woo-ping, and starred by Xu Xiaoming and Yuen Woo-ping's younger brother Yuen Cheung-yan. It was just released at the beginning of this month and the box office was average, with a revenue of more than one million Hong Kong dollars.

Xia Meng watched this movie and thought the action scenes were pretty good, so she wanted to invite the film's director Yuan Heping to participate in this project.

In 78, Yuan Heping became famous in Asia with "Drunken Master". He is a well-known director and martial arts choreographer in the Hong Kong film industry. He is familiar with various martial arts routines and is highly adaptable.

If he could participate in this project, "Heroes Emerge from Young Ages" would be half done.

However, Yuan Heping did not agree. The risk was too great. Not only would he be filming in mainland China, he would also be working directly with mainlanders. The Freedom Federation would definitely control him.

Although he could just write a letter of apology, he really didn't want to write that, so he simply didn't give them the chance to find fault with him.

However, Xia Meng is a senior in the Hong Kong film industry and their dream lover when they were young. She found me, and since I can't direct it myself, I should at least recommend someone.

So he recommended Xu Xiaoming, the young man who co-directed "Buddha's Palm Arhat Fist" with him. Xiaoming has always had a good impression of the mainland, so he should have no problem going to work in the mainland.

While speaking, Wei Ming noticed a person behind Xu Xiaoming. This person looked very much like Mr. Yuan Baye, but not quite. He looked like he could take out a few martial arts secrets books from his arms at any time.

After Wang Yang introduced Wei Ming, Wei Ming looked at Yuan Xiangren behind Xu Xiaoming.

"Who is this? Would you like to introduce yourself to me?" Wei Ming said in Cantonese.

This made Xu Xiaoming feel very friendly, and he introduced him: "Just call him Axiang."

Yuan Xiangren was just curious about the mainland, so he came to Yanjing with Xiao Ming without telling his brother, and also served as a martial arts director for Xiao Ming. Of course, he had to use a pseudonym. After all, as a behind-the-scenes person, no one would probably hold him accountable.

"Oh, hello, Axiang, you can call me A-Ming or Xiao-Ming."

Yuan Xiangren smiled and said to Xu Xiaoming: "This screenwriter has the same name as you."

Wei Ming: "Then let's just call each other by our titles. I'm screenwriter Wei, you're director Xu, and this is coach Xiang."

Afterwards, everyone had a meal at the Yanjing Hotel to welcome Xia Meng and her group. They didn't talk about business tonight, but just got to know each other. They would go to the Beijing Film Studio to talk tomorrow.

During the conversation, Xu Xiaoming revealed that A Xiang's ancestral home was Yanjing, and he wanted to find an opportunity to visit Yanjing City.

Wei Ming then remembered that Yuan Xiaotian was from Yanjing and was proficient in northern martial arts. Later, he went to Hong Kong and worked as a martial arts director for Cantonese opera. Before that, he entered the film industry and became the first generation of martial arts instructor.

Presumably, this is how Xu Xiaoming and the Yuan brothers met and became friends, and this is also why Yuan Xiangren took the risk to come to Yanjing. Although he was born in Hong Kong, he often heard his old father talk about Yanjing City, and he can even speak a few words of Beijing dialect.

As Wei Ming and A Xiang exchanged their Beijing dialect, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

Today's meal was spent on public funds, and the standard was high. Wei Ming ate deliciously, but he didn't drink because he was driving.

When he returned to the community, he was surprised to find that the lights were on in his house, which seemed to be in the study. What happened? Did he forget to turn them off before leaving in the morning? How much electricity would that cost?

He hurried upstairs, opened the door, and saw Zhu Lin in the study, reading his manuscript with tears in his eyes.

"Xiao Wei, you're back!"

She was watching "The Terracotta Warriors" and she cried so hard, probably because it was at some point when the heroine died tragically.

"Well, Sister Lin, you're here. It's really a surprise." Wei Ming took off his shoes.

Zhu Lin then glanced at his watch, then at the sky outside. Oh, it's already so late! This is not good!
"Xiao Wei, could you please take me back..." She wanted Wei Ming to take her back, but when she got close to Wei Ming, she smelled alcohol. "Have you been drinking?"

No, but everyone around him drank it, and when he clinked soda glasses with Axiang, it spilled on him.

"Yes, I drank a little today while entertaining guests from the Hong Kong film industry. On the way back, I almost drove the car into a ditch." Wei Ming's acting class began. He even deliberately thought about embarrassing things to make his face turn red.

Well, this is called the method school.

Zhu Lin had no doubts at all, and immediately withdrew the idea of asking Wei Ming to send him back, and decided to take care of Wei Ming first.

She supported Wei Ming and said, "Lie down first. I'll make you some hangover soup."

"Thank you, sister." Wei Ming accepted Zhu Lin's care with peace of mind.

The time soon passed ten o'clock and was approaching eleven o'clock.

Zhu Lin was worried about riding her bicycle back to the dormitory alone at this time because there were too many unemployed young people on the street.

She looked at Wei Ming. She studied medicine and knew that men were not threatening when they were drunk.

How about staying overnight?
