1987 My Era

Chapter 191, Confession, Li Heng's name is well-known (Please subscribe!)

The two figures, one tall and one short, walking away from the distance looked a little familiar to Li Heng. He felt as if he had seen them somewhere before.

I tried hard to search my memory, but couldn't come up with anything, so I had to give up.

When Zhou Shihe disappeared from his sight, Liu Wei couldn't help but sigh: "She is so beautiful. I wonder if anyone in our school dares to pursue her?"

The boys looked at each other and all agreed with what he said. At least they had the self-awareness to not pursue her.

Peng Chao from Statistics Class 2 looked at Li Heng and said, "Li Heng, do you want to date? Maomaoya from our class said you are handsome and has a crush on you."

Li Heng was surprised: "Fluffy duck?"

Liu Wei laughed: "What the hell is that expression on your face? Nickname! Maomaoya is Gu Yao's nickname. She is the study committee member of our class. You can't fail to recognize her, right?"

Li Heng asked: "Why is the nickname Fluffy Duck?"

Liu Wei explained: "Because Gu Yao's voice is a little coquettish, but her singing is very beautiful, several boys wrote love letters to her. In order to reject them, she publicly praised you for your attractive looks in class."

Li Heng had some impression of Gu Yao. She was considered a pretty girl, but she did not meet his aesthetic standards.

The men gathered together, either talking about politics or women. After a while, Liu Wei suddenly asked:
"By the way, I've seen you and Xiao Wang Mai Sui walking together several times. Are you two secretly dating?"

Li Heng was stunned: "Xiao Wang is also a nickname?"

"Wow!"

After finishing a cigarette, Peng Chao handed over another cigarette with a wow in his mouth, "Li Heng, you didn't come from the Stone Age, did you? Zhou Shihe doesn't know you, and Xiao Wang hasn't heard of you either."

Li Heng said, "Look at you making such a fuss. Didn't you hear that I missed 10 out of 4 classes?"

"Speaking of this, you are really awesome! I surrender to you! I surrender to no one but you!"

Peng Chao introduced: "Some time ago, someone posted an anonymous notice on the notice board on Nanjing Road, which counted the female students at Fudan University and selected one big king and three small kings. The big king is Zhou Shihe.

There are three Xiao Wangs: Liu Yue, Wei Xiaozhu and Mai Sui. This matter spread like wildfire, and many people from various departments posted anonymous comments and agreed with this statement.

Liu Wei added: "Actually, there is another senior who can also be ranked with Xiao Wang, but she is a junior and has a boyfriend."

Li Heng was shocked by what he heard and subconsciously wondered if it was Hu Ping's work? This ruthless man had forced Hu Ping to run 150 laps during military training just to see a beautiful woman.

After puffing on the cigarette for a while, Liu Weifa invited: "Li Heng, have you eaten? I'll buy you a drink."

Li Heng waved his hand: "I just came back from dinner with your wife's brother. I'm really full. Let's eat next time."

Liu Wei asked: "Did you go to learn piano again today?"

Li Heng hummed.

Liu Wei said, "Okay, let's drink again some other time. We're leaving now."

"to make."

He went to find the counselor, but he was in a meeting. Li Heng couldn't get him and had to return to dormitory 325 in disappointment.

At this time, Tang Dailing was the only one in the dormitory, studying advanced mathematics.

I walked over and took a look. Wow! I had only 8 pages of the advanced mathematics textbook left. It had only been a short time since the start of the school year. I was so exhausted!

Li Heng sighed, "My book is as new as a virgin, but yours is covered with scribblings. Old Tang, you will have no friends if you do this."

Tang Dailing touched the back of his head and laughed, then closed the book with a righteous look, "Then I won't read it."

Li Heng pulled a stool and sat down. "Where are they? Why are you the only one here?"

Tang Dailing took out a cigarette and asked him if he wanted one.

Li Heng pushed it back: "I just smoked a cigarette with Liu Wei and his friends from the next class. You can smoke it yourself. I'm not that interested in cigarettes."

Rolling a tobacco leaf, Tang Dailing said: "Lao Zhou, Hu Ping, Lao Li and Li Guang participated in the chorus of the welcome party and went to practice singing.

I wasn’t selected, so I stayed in the dormitory.

As for Brother Bing, he was pushing Bai Wanying for a walk on campus, and many people saw him.

Li Heng asked curiously, "What's going on between Lao Zhang and Bai Wanying? I saw them together several times."

Tang Dailing said: "I don't know them very well, but Li Guang often accompanies Bing Ge to take care of Bai Wanying, so he is said to be more talkative."

Li Heng asked: "Does Bai Wanying know that Lao Zhang is married?"

Tang Dailing's brain froze for a long time, "I know, the girls in our class all know that Bingge is married, so they should just be friends."

Li Heng nodded and didn't ask any further questions. After chatting for a while, the two of them went back to reading their own books.

Tang Dailing was afraid that Li Heng would scold him, so he didn't study advanced mathematics this time. Instead, he followed Zhang Bing's lead and memorized a dictionary. His absorbed look made Li Heng feel dizzy.

It’s no wonder that among those who can be admitted to Fudan University these days, there is really not an easy one.

Around 8 o'clock in the evening, the loudspeaker of the dormitory manager downstairs rang, and someone was looking for Tang Dailing.

After a while, the loudspeaker that had been calling people continuously called on Li Heng.

Who is looking for me?
Li Heng’s first reaction was wheat ears?

The second reaction was Sun Manning.

Apart from these two girls, he wasn't that familiar with the other girls in the school.

Of course, the reason why I only talk about girls is because boys will definitely go straight to the dormitory to look for someone, so there is no need to ask the dormitory manager for help.

I put on my shoes and went downstairs. I was a little surprised. It was Li Xian.

Li Heng walked over and asked, "Princess Xian, what do you want to see me about so late at night?"

"Master! Can't I come to you if there's nothing wrong?" Li Xian was dressed in a black and white plaid shirt, which was very fashionable. Her eyebrows and eyes were decorated.

It was obvious that she had dressed up carefully before going out.

Li Heng asked: "I haven't seen you for a week, how come your Mandarin hasn't improved at all?"

It would have been fine if I hadn't mentioned this, but once I did, Li Xian's smiling face immediately turned bitter:
"It's so hard to learn. My tongue is numb from practicing every day, but I haven't made any progress. People are laughing at me."

Li Heng explained: "Chinese is extensive and profound. There are thousands of Chinese characters used in daily life. Don't be impatient. Take your time. Perseverance is the key."

Li Xian pushed a newly bought ice cream into his hand and said, "Master, can you go to the movies with me? I'm not in a good mood."

Li Heng asked: "Where can we go?"

"The Chinese Department, where else can we go? Do you want to go to the cinema with me? That's fine, but you may not be able to come back tonight."

Li Xian chattered a lot in one breath, and she became a little shy at the end.

Seeing that she seemed a little depressed, Li Heng did not refuse. The two of them went to the Chinese Department and spent 3 cents to enter.

The screening room was a large classroom, and they didn't show official movies, but pirated videotapes. Yet many students were eager to watch them.

The movie playing was "Tunnel Warfare", a very old film, and Li Xian watched it with great gusto.

Li Heng almost fell asleep, and was distracted and thinking about other things afterwards.

In the middle, Li Xian asked: "This movie is great, why don't you like it?"

Li Heng shook his head: "No, I have seen it many times. When I was a child, the village often played this outdoors."

"Then let's go?"

"No, just watch it. I'll finish it with you."

"How about, Master, you put your head on my shoulder and take a nap?"

Li Heng shook his head.

After the movie was over, it was almost 10 o'clock. When we walked out of the Chinese Department, Li Heng asked with concern, "Why are you in a bad mood tonight?"

Li Xian said: "There's no particular reason. My roommates started talking about wheat ears, and I suddenly felt irritated. I just wanted to talk to you."

Look at what this girl said, it's true, she's not shy at all.

Li Heng knew that he had something to say, so he didn't interrupt.

After walking a little further, when there was no one around, Li Xian stopped and asked anxiously, "Master, I like you very much. Will you like me one day?"

As expected of someone who came back from abroad, he is a little too straightforward in his feelings.

This is the third time, but this time is the most direct.

Li Heng spoke frankly: "You know, I have someone in my heart."

Li Xian asked: "She's really not Wheat Ear? You guys call her Little Wang."

Li Heng shook his head, "No."

Li Xian asked: "Have I met her?"

Li Heng replied: "No, she is not in our school."

Li Xian asked: "Isn't it very beautiful?"

Li Heng hummed.

Li Xian asked, "How about comparing it to wheat ears?"

Li Heng thought for a moment and said, "She is not inferior to anyone."

Hearing this, Li Xian stopped asking and became even more frustrated. When she reached the bottom of Building 12 of the girls' dormitory, she looked back sadly and said, "Master, this is my last confirmation today. I have given up after asking. I have no regrets anymore. I will not bother you anymore."

Seeing that her smile was uglier than crying, Li Heng sighed and said nothing to comfort her.

Because there's no point in saying anything, she has to digest this matter by herself.

He didn't want to give her any hope of revival, so he was determined to the end.

Before they parted, Li Xian asked, "Can we still be friends from now on?"

"Natural energy."

"Thank you for watching the movie with me today. I'm going in now."

"it is good."

It was time to go back to the dormitory, and people were coming and going on the path. Seeing Li Xian hurriedly running into the dormitory building, Li Heng turned around and planned to go back to the dormitory.

Just turning around, he was stunned.

He was stunned when he saw the person coming out from behind the tree, wondering why Liu Yue was here. Liu Yue had a few books in her hands, looked him up and down and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"

Li Heng said: "No."

"Oh." Liu Yue walked past him and went straight to the girls' dormitory.

Because they had been standing at attention facing each other during military training, bored Liu Yue had teased him several times. But if she said she liked him, it was completely false.

She was praised by gossipers as the first of the little kings, and her beauty was almost as beautiful as Zhou Shihe. She was used to seeing the admiring eyes of boys since she was a child, but she could not see anything unusual in Li Heng's eyes.

She was absolutely sure that Li Heng had no feelings for her.

This was also the main reason why she teased him, because she felt that he was different from other boys and it was fun.

Liu Yue is a very confident person. She does not have the contradictory psychology that other girls often have - she is afraid that others will like her and also afraid that others will not like her.

She never thought about falling in love in college because her goal was very clear: to be a top student who crushes her peers in all aspects and then study abroad.

In her eyes, she was going to go abroad after graduating from university, and dating was a waste of time. She also didn't think that any boy in school could conquer her or win her heart. She was so domineering.

After returning to the dormitory, Li Xian hid under the quilt and cried secretly.

Liu Yue sat on a chair, eating melon seeds and drinking water, looking at Li Xian crying with interest.

Seeing that Zhou Min and Chen Guifen's persuasion had no effect, Liu Yue, who had eaten and drunk her fill, stretched and said, "Men think with their lower body. If you want them to remember you, you either have to look particularly good or have a great figure.

Princess Xian, why don't you go back to Korea and have your breasts enlarged."

Chen Guifen was skeptical: "A bulge? Will Li Heng be impressed? There should be a lot of girls who like him, maybe there is one with a good figure."

Liu Yue lay on the bed without answering. Li Xian's unrequited love suddenly reminded her of her aunt. Her mother told her that her aunt was hopelessly in love with a great writer.

She was very curious about what kind of writer could make her aunt so recklessly throw herself into a flame and end up as miserable and fruitless as Li Xian?

You have to know that my aunt is a master of Peking Opera performance in China and a professor at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. It seems extraordinary that she could withstand such temptation.

Liu Yue decided to go home and ask her mother on the weekend.

...

Before the lights were turned off, all the guys in dormitory 325 came back.

As soon as they entered the dormitory, Zhou Zhangming, Li Guang, Hu Ping and Li Guoyi began to talk about the girls in the choir.

Who has the longest legs, who has the prettiest breasts, who walks sexily, and even their dressing style is not left out and they comment on everything.

As they chatted, they talked about Zhou Shihe. As the pianist of the choir, the four grown men were not only stunned by her beauty, but also impressed by her piano skills.

"Amazing! Amazing! I have a feeling that I will never meet a woman more perfect than Zhou Shihe in this lifetime!"

Li Guoyi wet his hair with water and combed it back with a comb, his eyes full of admiration.

Li Guang sat on the edge of the bed, his legs hanging out and swaying, and said depressedly: "When I was handing out the chorus uniforms today, I tried to talk to her, but I got nervous and stuck halfway through. She looked at me, and I got even more nervous. It's so embarrassing to think about it now.

What a mess! My family also raises thousands of cows, and there are many matchmakers in the local area, but why can't I talk to her when I meet her? "

Li Guoyi asked Zhou Zhangming, "Brother Zhou, say something."

"Beautiful! She will be a hurdle that many of our male classmates at Fudan University will be unable to get around in their lives." Zhou Zhangming and Tang Dailing said calmly while smoking leaf cigarettes.

Li Guoyi asked Hu Ping: "Old Hu, why have you been silent?"

Li Guang jumped up and revealed his past: "I know this! I know! I tell you, Lao Hu was rejected in the cafeteria last time, but he didn't give up.

When Zhou Shihe was sending me the chorus uniform today, he approached me again, but Zhou Shihe just glanced at him, and Lao Hu felt ashamed. "

Hu Ping was so angry that he jumped out from the bed and started to chase Li Guang, beating him from one end of the corridor to the other, and then from the other end to this end. Finally, Li Guang promised to treat him to three meals before they reconciled.

Tang Dailing handed a cigarette to Hu Ping, "Old Hu, come and have a cigarette."

"Don't hurt me, I'm quitting smoking." Hu Ping subconsciously took the cigarette, then quickly put it back.

Li Heng joked: "Why are you quitting? They are all smoking and you are passively inhaling second-hand smoke. It's the same as not quitting."

Hu Ping was stunned. "Old Li, what you said makes sense. Should I smoke or not?"

Li Heng smiled and said, "I will quit from tomorrow."

Hu Ping didn't smoke in the end. When he couldn't help it, he leaned over to Tang Dailing to smell the cigarette. Later, he just rolled a cigarette and put it under his nose to sniff it from time to time.

While smoking, Zhou Zhangming turned to Zhang Bing and said, "Brother Bing, everyone is chatting, why are you silent?"

Zhang Bing said, "I'm writing a letter to my family."

Li Guoyi winked and said, "Write a letter of divorce to your family?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the lively 325 suddenly fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Zhang Bing, as if they were curious about the relationship between him and Bai Wanying.

Zhang Bing put down his pen, raised his head, asked for a cigarette, smoked half of it and said, "We are just friends. I admire Bai Wanying's perseverance and spirit of not giving up. I can see my own shadow in her. Don't think too much. It's not like that."

Li Guang said vigorously: "Brother Bing, I support you. What's wrong with helping classmates? Li Guoyi, this bastard, knows how to spread rumors and stir up trouble all day long."

"You say I'm spreading rumors and causing trouble? I'm asking about the situation on behalf of the general public to avoid any misunderstanding. Come on! Little Leo, are you fucking itching for trouble? Turn your butt towards me, and I'll untie you." Li Guoyi began to untie his belt.

"Get out! You pervert!" Li Guang's face turned green and he threw a pillow at him.

After some fooling around, Li Guang asked with concern, "Brother Heng, you've been absent from class for four consecutive days. Many teachers have complaints. Have you reported to the counselor?"

Li Heng said: "It's okay, I asked for leave."

Hu Ping said, "Lao Li, we have been waiting for you to come back. There will be a dinner party between the two dormitories on Saturday night. We are telling you in advance so that you don't desert us."

Li Heng said: "No problem."

In the following days, Li Heng followed the routine and went at his own pace.

I attend classes during the day, and for unimportant classes I read books and study literature on my own. After dinner I go back to Lushan Village, write in the study for 4 hours, and then return to the dormitory before lights-out.

Of course, sometimes when inspiration strikes, I stay up late to finish the manuscript and stay in the small building.

In a week, he read 5 books and wrote 3 chapters: "Night Rain Poetry", "Brush and Ink Sacrifice" and "Book Collection Worry". The progress was not fast, but he was still in control and satisfied.

Besides reading books, I have to spend 20 minutes to half an hour reading newspapers every day. The main purpose is, of course, to grasp the development information of the times and keep myself in touch with the outside world. At the same time, I also quietly pay attention to the evaluation of my peers.

Based on observations over the past two months, Li Heng found that words such as "self-employed" and "private enterprise" now appear frequently in newspapers, and the frequency is increasing.

As reform and opening up deepened, self-employed individuals and private enterprises sprang up like mushrooms after a rain, and social customs also changed step by step. The loudspeakers in the Pentagon Square played Hong Kong and Taiwan pop songs all day long.

After a two-month adaptation period, the female students began to shed their country style and started wearing popular clothes from big cities. Occasionally, a few foreigners would pop out and walk around the school with cameras in their hands. The rise of these new things aroused the desires of the majority of male compatriots.

Before he knew it, Li Heng had a fixed partner in the classroom, Zhou Zhangming on his left and Li Guang on his right.

Seeing him reading newspapers every day, Zhou Zhangming couldn't help asking one day: "Lao Li, you are still a student, why do you spend so much money on newspapers every day?"

Li Heng made up a story: "To prepare for big things in the future."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhangming scratched his head for a long time. From then on, whenever Li Heng discarded a newspaper, he would take it over. Whenever Li Heng read a news report, he would read it carefully, and if he didn't understand it, he would read it twice to figure out its meaning.

At first, Zhou Zhangming forced himself to read, but later he developed a habit and became addicted to it. He also stopped reading for free. He would prepare the Monday and Tuesday newspapers early according to the money in his pocket. As for the newspapers for the next five days, he continued to read for free because his financial ability was limited.

Li Heng didn't say much about this, nor did he take the responsibility and say that the other party didn't need to buy it, because this involved Lao Zhou's self-esteem.

At most, he usually bought some fruits and snacks and brought them back to the dormitory for everyone's entertainment.

In this fulfilling and busy schedule, a week passes in a flash.

Friday night.

When Liu Yue got home, she immediately looked for Huang Xuqing, and then asked, "Mom, today is Friday, why hasn't Auntie come yet?"

As usual, Huang Zhaoyi would come to her sister's house every Friday to have a meal and keep in touch with her family. This was also the reason why Liu Yue came back today.

Huang Xuqing was making dumplings. "Your aunt called at noon and said she couldn't come today because of something. What's wrong? Do you have something to talk to her about?"

Liu Yue sat opposite and watched her mother making dumplings for a while. "Did my aunt go to see that great writer again?"

Huang Xuqing frowned.

Liu Yue leaned forward slightly: "Mom, do you know the personal information of that great writer?"

Huang Xuqing shook her head, "Your aunt didn't say."

Liu Yue's eyes almost turned white to the sky: "Auntie won't tell you, can't you secretly ask someone to investigate?"

Huang Xuqing said: "I did have this thought, but Zhaoyi wouldn't let me. After thinking it over again and again, I gave up and respected her privacy."

Liu Yue asked: "Do grandpa and grandma know?"

Huang Xuqing shook her head again: "The great writers who wrote "To Live" and "Cultural Journey" are at least married and have children. They may be almost as old as your grandfather. They are not in good health. How dare they know about this?"

Liu Yue first learned the name of the writer: "What about December?"

Huang Xuqing said: "It's him."

Liu Yue has not read "To Live" or "Cultural Journey", but news about this person appears in newspapers from time to time. After all, he is a big name who can single-handedly make "Harvest" magazine surpass "People's Literature" for three consecutive issues. The writer Shi Eryue is very well-known in Shanghai, and it is hard not to know him.

To put it in an exaggerated way, perhaps the beggars on the street have never heard of the name of the big boss of this city, but the writer December is definitely well-known.

There is nothing we can do. Xinmin Evening News has reported on me too much and praised me too frequently. If people who don’t know the truth think that December is a local writer in Shanghai, they really treat me like their own son.

I remember that my father was also fond of literature and subscribed to Harvest magazine. Liu Yue ran to the study to look for it, but couldn't find it for a long time. She came out and asked:
"Where are all those books Dad bought? Why are there dozens of them missing?"

Huang Xuqing said, "Your uncle and your grandfather came to visit us the day before yesterday and borrowed some books."

Grandpa and uncle are both high-level intellectuals who like to read books and newspapers. Liu Yue has no doubts about this and asks:

"Mom, what is the relationship between my aunt and the writer December now?"

Huang Xuqing raised her head: "What do you want to ask?"

Liu Yue gestured: "Has my aunt ever been someone's secret lover?"

Huang Xuqing pondered for a moment and denied, "No chance."

"No chance? Does that mean my aunt is willing to be your underground lover?" Liu Yue raised her eyebrows.

Huang Xuqing couldn't bear to hear the word "underground lover" and immediately got angry: "I just washed my hands and helped make dumplings, but all I know is to wait for free food every day. Do I owe you anything?"

Liu Yue's eyes flickered, and she remained unmoved: "You gave birth to me so beautiful, are you willing to let me make dumplings? Shouldn't I be offered as a sacrifice?"
