1987 My Era

Chapter 509: The Attention of All

Wei Xiaozhu looked up at Dai Qing's eyes and saw tears. There were not many tears, but they were so clear.

This made her think of a sentence written by Mr. Jin Yong in "The Return of the Condor Heroes": They first met at Fengling Ferry, and the first sight of Yang Guo ruined her life.

Isn’t Dai Qing the same as Guo Xiang?
Unfortunately, he also met Li Heng, who was unable to get the love he wanted.

Although Dai Qing deliberately avoided and tried not to have close contact with Li Heng in the past year, as her good sister, Wei Xiaozhu understood very well that Qingqing had been silently watching him from behind.

One of the iron rules was that as long as Li Heng made any big splash in music, Dai Qing would go to the library the next day to read that day's newspaper and look for news about Li Heng.

If she couldn't find it in the library, she would secretly run to a newsstand outside the school to look for it.

As the old saying goes, if you stand by the river often, you will get your feet wet.

After doing it many times secretly, she was finally discovered by Wei Xiaozhu. Dai Qing was a straightforward person. After being discovered, she confided everything in her heart to her best friend, saying that she couldn't forget Li Heng.

If Li Heng hadn't released a pure music album a while ago, Dai Qing would have felt that the two of them were no longer in the same world and would not have taken such a drastic step.

Hundreds of cameras were clicking non-stop, aiming at Li Heng. The reporters were so angry that they hadn't expected the writer December to be walking around right under their noses for so long without them noticing. Now they wished they could capture him in the camera and have him as their exclusive photo.

Ye Zhanyan came today, hiding quietly in the crowd with her good friend. Zhao Menglong also followed.

Seeing Ye Zhanyan staring at Li Heng, who was the center of attention, without blinking, his good friend Ye Lan couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Zhanyan, have you known about Li Heng's identity as a great writer for a long time?"

At this point, Ye Zhanyan had nothing to hide, so he simply admitted, "Yes."

Ye Lan asked: "Did you come to Shanghai suddenly last night to see him?"

Ye Zhanyan said: "Yes."

Ye Lan was jealous: "I am not important, am I? We are from the same family and have been inseparable since freshman year. Does that mean my position in your heart is not as important as a hair of theirs?"

Ye Zhanyan's eyes never left Li Heng's figure, and he replied: "It's different. We often communicate with each other. As for him, I may not see him once a year, and maybe I won't see him for five or ten years in the future."

"Well, since your answer was so sad, I'll give you a pass."

Sensing that her friend was feeling a little down, Ye Lan held her arm and asked, "You broke up with your boyfriend last year and refused to go to Cambridge University. Was it because you fell in love with him?"

Ye Zhanyan still answered: "Yes."

Ye Lan asked: "Do you still love him now?"

Ye Zhanyan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Zhao Menglong beside him and answered firmly: "Love!"

When Zhao Menglong heard the word "love", it was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, and he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. But he didn't hate Li Heng, because he understood that he and Li Heng were not at the same level.

In his eyes, Li Heng was as dazzling as the bright moon at this moment, while he was just an inconspicuous firefly. How could a firefly as humble as the dust dare to compete with the bright moon in the sky?

Ye Lan asked: "You've been in the United States for so long, can't you meet a man you like?"

Ye Zhanyan frowned and sighed: "Li Heng is the most poisonous love poison in the world. If you fall in love with him, will you fall in love with someone else easily?"

Ye Lan was no longer calm. She stood on tiptoe and looked at Li Heng carefully again. She had to agree with what he said, and then asked: "In that case, you are so beautiful, why don't you give it a try?"

give it a try?
Ha ha!

Doesn't she want to give it a try?
But when she tentatively invited him to dinner last year and he said he wanted to bring wheat ears, she knew that this man had no intention of that kind towards her.

In addition, she had been in a relationship before. Although they did not have sexual relations or kiss each other, they did hold hands and were in a relationship for several years, so she was mentally unclean.

Would a person like him tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes? Would he tolerate myself who had been in a relationship?

After a long period of self-torture, she decisively left Fudan, left the country, and fled to the United States.

Seeing that her friend remained silent for a long time, Ye Lan seemed to understand, and finally asked worriedly for her: "You can't get it, but you can't bear to give it up, so what are you going to do in the future?"

How to do?
His eyes fell on his tall and straight back, and Ye Zhanyan felt an unprecedented sense of confusion all over his body.

Zhao Menglong had been listening to the conversation between the two women. Seeing Ye Zhanyan like this, he finally couldn't help but speak, "Zhanyan, you finally came to Shanghai, so try again. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. Don't worry about the cause and effect. At least you were brave in the process." Ye Zhanyan held up her drooping hair with her right hand, lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "How can you try without any emotional foundation? Take the initiative to go to his house and ask him if he wants a mistress?"

Zhao Menglong was trembling all over and didn't dare to look at the people around him.

Ye Lan held her friend's arm tightly with her right hand, but her eyes were imitating Li Heng who was at the peak of his life. She felt sympathetic: This is the charm of the top literary celebrities! Without saying a word, just an identity, he tortured Zhan Yan, who was known as one of the four little kings of Fudan University, to death! It was so terrible!

Ye Lan thought with fear: If I had gone against Li Heng, I would probably have nothing left in the end.

...

At this moment, Li Heng's charm and influence were infinitely magnified by the camera lights, and his figure looked so majestic surrounded by Mr. Jin Yong, Principal Sun, Teacher Yu and a group of school leaders!

At this moment, the school gate was silent. Apart from the laughter of Li Heng and his companions, the only sound was the flashing lights of the cameras.

At this moment, facing the extraordinary monster Li Heng, everyone was silent!
Everyone was recalling the moment when Mr. Jin Yong took the initiative to reach out to Li Heng and the first words he said to Li Heng. Li Heng turned out to be December! Everyone was shocked by this amazing identity and didn't know what to say.
It seemed that nothing could alleviate everyone's chaotic thoughts.

How can one person be so powerful?
How can it be so powerful?

He appeared on the Spring Festival Gala and became an instant hit! He directly won the best award of the Spring Festival Gala.

He wrote books, and published immortal classics such as "To Live", "Cultural Journey" and "White Deer Plain" in one go. His works were so exciting to readers that "Harvest" magazine broke the industry convention and offered unprecedented royalties. Facing him being held in the palm of the hand by millions of loyal readers, his opponents were powerless and could only bark in the corner.

By releasing a pure music album, he swept the country as an outsider, attracting piano masters like Wu Yili. Later, he went beyond China, Asia, and the world, making a lot of money in pounds and dollars in Europe and the United States, winning the hearts of the Japanese and Koreans in Japan and South Korea, and gaining a lot of big star fans in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan!
Just as Lin Qingxia said in an interview with the media yesterday: "I suddenly fell in love with instrumental music after a friend's recommendation. Mr. Li Heng is really amazing. He directly changed my perception of mainland music and musicians."

A media outlet asked: "What was Ms. Lin's impression of mainland music in the past?"

Brigitte Lin thought for a moment and said, "It's stereotyped and antique. Maybe my level is not good enough to listen to it. But Mr. Li's works are really good to listen to. I get addicted to them once I hear them. In the past 20 days, I have been listening to 4 to 5 songs before going to sleep."

Brigitte Lin admitted that because of the difference in environment, she was used to listening to pop songs and didn't want to listen to mainland music at first. As for the instrumental album, she ignored it when her friend recommended it to her for the first time; she couldn't refuse it when her friend gave it to her for the second time, so she put it at home and let it gather dust; when her friend recommended it to her for the third time, she thought of giving her friend face and went home to listen to it, and then she couldn't stop listening to it!

This is also a microcosm of the pure music album in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the world. Most people rejected it at the beginning because it came from mainland China and they didn’t think it would be outstanding. But even in this harsh environment, it eventually spread step by step through word of mouth, counterattacked step by step, and gained a firm foothold in the British music album chart, ranking second.

And it has begun to climb up the US B list. Although its ranking is not very high at present, the upward trend is clear.

Tell me what you think! Tell me what you think! He is a great writer and an excellent musician. How can you find fault with such a great person?

What else can you find fault with?

Didn’t you see that the famous Mr. Jin Yong came all the way to visit us in person?

How old is Jin Yong this year? 64 years old!
How old is Li Heng? 19 years old!
Despite such a huge age gap, Li Heng managed to convince Mr. Jin Yong, who was far away in Hong Kong, with his real strength. Don’t you think that’s cool?

The teachers and students of Fudan University were all convinced. When they saw Mr. Jin Yong actively looking for Li Heng to shake hands, and when they heard Mr. Jin Yong say that he had read "White Deer Plain" four times, whether they knew Li Heng or not, and no matter what their relationship was, they were all proud of Li Heng.

We are all proud that Li Heng is a student of Fudan University!
There were so many distracting thoughts, but the school gate was dead silent at this moment...

Everyone stood there like sculptures, all eyes focused on Li Heng, watching him dance with ease.

Look, Mr. Jin Yong took the initiative to take a photo with Li Heng.

Look at Principal Sun taking a photo with a group of leaders and Li Heng.

"Wow! My uncle is here too." When Li Guoyi saw his uncle getting out of the third Mercedes-Benz and standing on the outskirts of the crowd, his heart was broken and his faith almost collapsed!

Uncle is the most powerful person in their family. He is the reason why he is so arrogant outside. But now he has become a foil for Brother Heng. When taking photos, he can only stand on the side. Damn it! How can he brag about this in the future?
Jin Yong finally saw December, and the intuitive feeling that Li Heng gave him was very strong:

The first is youth, too young.

The second is that he is very sophisticated and very confident.

The third one was a bit strange. He actually felt a sense of power from this young man!
Even though he was in his sixties, he felt like an equal in front of Li Heng, which made Jin Yong very curious.

Curious how this could happen?
ps: Change first and then change.

This amount may not seem comfortable, but my fingers are a little sore, so I have to take a rest and come back tomorrow.
