1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 156 Lovers finally meet
"Who?"

Liu Xiaoli almost screamed out when she felt the sudden touch on her shoulder. Fortunately, she remained calm and covered her mouth at the critical moment.

Turning around, I saw a long-haired young woman in her twenties looking at me with curiosity, or perhaps examining me would be a more accurate word.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

When Liu Xiaoli saw the woman, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and her emotions quickly calmed down. However, the heart in her chest was still beating strongly, still telling of the shock she had just experienced.

"Hello classmate, what are you doing here? Didn't the get out of class end long ago?"

Zhan Wenlei asked doubtfully.

As the girl turned her head, Zhan Wenlei was finally able to see her face clearly in the dim light of the corridor.

Only then did she realize how outstanding the girl in front of her was: a pair of affectionate almond eyes, a beautiful and delicate nose, a pure and lovely oval face, skin as white as jade and as delicate as a touch, lips like peony velvet, and teeth like jade shells.

What a beautiful girl.

Zhan Wenlei was a little dazed and amazed in her heart.

But Liu Xiaoli, who met her eyes, looked at the sister in front of her strangely. Why was she staring at her?
But the noise just now should not have been heard by Teacher Wang who was training in the dance studio, right?
After all, there is music in the dance studio.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli felt relieved and asked, "Sister, what can I do for you?"

Zhan Wenlei frowned and thought, shouldn't I be the one asking you this?
So he pulled Liu Xiaoli to sit on the long chair outside the dance studio and asked, "I'm Zhan Wenlei, the manager of the dance studio. Which department are you from? How long have you been peeking here?"

It turns out that this person is the manager of the dance studio.

No wonder...

Liu Xiaoli felt a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I'm not a student of your Beijing Dance Academy. I'm a dancer from the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater who came to your college for an exchange a few days ago.

I…I just thought that Teacher Wang’s classical dance was very beautiful, so I couldn’t help but watch it a few more times.”

"Jiangcheng... Dancers from the Song and Dance Theater, I see." Zhan Wenlei nodded, "Don't be nervous. Beijing Dance Academy does not prohibit others from watching from outside the studio."

"Can I come next time? I really like the Chinese classical dance performed by Teacher Wang. After watching her for some time, I found a lot of things worth learning."

"Of course, but please don't disturb Teacher Wang. By the way, what's your name?"

Zhan Wenlei agreed with a smile, and then asked.

"That's great! Sister Wenlei! Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Xiaoli and I'm from Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater. I'm a dancer and I'm good at ballet, classical dance, and folk dance."

Liu Xiaoli smiled, stretched out her hand, and happily introduced herself.

After watching and imitating and trying out the movements over the past few days, she felt that the movements were much smoother and she gained a lot.

It would be even better if I could get personal guidance from Teacher Wang.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli felt that she was too greedy.

Teacher Wang is a national first-class dancer and a master of classical dance. How could he teach so easily?
"My name is Zhan Wenlei, and I am..." Zhan Wenlei felt happy when she heard the youthful and energetic self-introduction of the girl in front of her.

But when she heard the girl's name, she was stunned and repeated: "Liu Xiaoli?! Are you Liu Xiaoli?"

Jiangcheng, Liu Xiaoli, Song and Dance Theater…

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoli pursed her lips and asked tentatively: "Sister Wenlei, is there any problem with my name being Liu Xiaoli?"

"No... no problem."

Zhan Wenlei shook her head, then reached out and held the girl's smooth and delicate hand, and asked with a smile: "Are you Liu Xiaoli who sang "Xiao Fang"? There is a girl in the village named Xiao Fang, who is beautiful and kind..."

Zhan Wenlei sang two lines.

"Yes, I am that Liu Xiaoli."

The girl admitted it openly. With the release of "Xiao Fang" and "Fang Cao", her name had already spread and to some extent she had become a household name.

In addition, in the middle of last month, the China National Radio Music Channel announced the winners of the first "Fifteen Most Favorite Songs by Listeners" selection event, and we were honored to be selected.

"I really like your singing of Xiao Fang. What a fate! I didn't expect to meet you here! Comrade Liu Xiaoli!"

Zhan Wenlei's eyes were full of surprise. Since it was officially confirmed that all educated youth could return to the city, she and her husband had listened to and watched the two works "Xiao Fang" and "Fang Cao" many times.

But her favorite song is "Xiao Fang". She was moved and captured by the clean yet sad voice of the lead singer, Comrade Liu Xiaoli.

Hey...Xiaofang?
and many more!

This song was written by Cheng Kaiyan, and if the girl is Liu Xiaoli...

"Do you know someone named Cheng Kaiyan?"

Zhan Wenlei almost blurted it out, staring at Liu Xiaoli with burning eyes.

This question really confused Liu Xiaoli. Why did he suddenly mention Comrade Xiao Cheng?
Although she was confused, she still answered openly: "Of course I know him, he wrote this song..."

It was written especially for me...

As the beautiful memories flashed through her mind, Liu Xiaoli's mouth corners slightly raised.

"It's really... what a coincidence."

Zhan Wenlei saw that after hearing the name Cheng Kaiyan, a smile appeared on the girl's flawless face, along with a hint of sweetness and shyness.

Could it be that this girl has a crush on Kai Yan?

Zhan Wenlei was guessing about the relationship between the two, and the scene of Cheng Kaiyan getting up early that morning to wash her pants came to her mind.

The guy is full of vigor and vitality, and has reached the age to find a partner and get married.

or……

"Fate? What does that mean?"

Liu Xiaoli asked softly. She was a little confused as to why this woman she just met was so enthusiastic.

"You don't know this, right? Our two families are neighbors."

But soon, the beautiful young woman's voice came, and she couldn't help but open her mouth and said in surprise: "Are you neighbors?"

"Of course! Wutong Courtyard, Xiaowei Hutong, Dongcheng District..."

The woman smiled and said the address that Liu Xiaoli had recited in her mind many times. Now she finally believed it.

The woman in front of me is indeed Comrade Xiao Cheng’s neighbor.

With this relationship, the two of them became a little closer, but of course only a little. After all, they were just neighbors, and she couldn't open her heart to a stranger.

Liu Xiaoli chatted with Zhan Wenlei about Cheng Kaiyan until the piano music in the dance studio suddenly stopped. She then raised her hand to check the time on her watch, said goodbye and left.

"I'm sorry, Sister Wenlei, it's time to go back to the guesthouse. Let's talk next time."

"Walk slowly and be careful on the road."

Zhan Wenlei waved her hand until she saw the girl's slender figure disappear at the end of the corridor.

Ha ha……

There's something interesting about this girl.

At this time, mother Wang Qiang had already changed into her regular clothes and came out with a little sweat on her temples. "Wen Lei, who are you talking to?"

"Well... a little girl from Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater. I just saw her outside admiring your beautiful dance. This made me feel extremely proud, so I chatted with her for a while."

Zhan Wenlei said with a smile.

"Virtue~How can you talk like that!"

It was already after get off work, so Wang Qiang was no longer so serious. Hearing his daughter's praise and exaggerated tone, he rolled his eyes at her helplessly.

"The girl from the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater?"

"Yes, her name is Liu Xiaoli."

"Liu Xiaoli? I know this girl."

Wang Qiang nodded.

"There's something you don't know. Comrade Liu Xiaoli is the one who sang 'Xiao Fang', and 'Xiao Fang' was written by the one from Aunt Yuxiu's family. The two of them know each other."

Zhan Wenlei said mysteriously.

"Xiaofang? Kaiyan? Liu Xiaoli?"

After hearing what his daughter said, Wang Qiang laughed. This complicated relationship was really amazing.

The two walked side by side and found a bicycle in the bicycle shed. Zhan Wenlei sat in the front and Wang Qiang sat in the back.

Chat while riding.

"That girl seemed to be interested in Kaiyan. She started laughing just by hearing those three words. Isn't this a young girl in love?"

At 6:30 in the evening, the two finally pushed the cart back home.

Smoke was curling up in the yard, and the slightly dim night seemed a little warm under the dim tungsten filament light.

Next to the well, a young man in his twenties, wearing a thin T-shirt, was standing at the wellhead drawing water.

"Kaiyan! You are so diligent. You are washing pants so late at night?" Aunt Wang Qiang pushed her bicycle into the house. Zhan Wenlei came closer and teased.

"What are you talking about?!"

At this time, Cheng Kaiyan used his hands and the muscles in his arms to exert force. The light blue blood vessels were clearly visible. There was a kind of beauty of strength, and his whole body exuded the aura of a young man.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Zhan Wenlei reached out and poked his arm, feeling the hardness and heat of his muscles, her beautiful eyes lit up.

The sickly boy before has now become a strong man!

"Big sister, could you please stop running so...?"

Cheng Kaiyan said speechlessly, but she really couldn't find a suitable word to describe this woman.

"How can you talk like that, little brat? You clearly want to say unrestrained! I watched you grow up. Don't talk about your arm, that's nothing. I even gave you a bath!"

Zhan Wenlei rolled her eyes and slapped him hard with her hand.

"Okay, okay, men and women should not touch each other."

"Who do you want to kiss then?"

"It's not you anyway."

"Then let me introduce you to someone? I guarantee you'll like her, and since you two know each other, you'll never guess who this girl is!"

Zhan Wenlei said mysteriously.

"not interested."

"Really?"

"real!"

"What if this girl's name is Liu Xiaoli?"

"Liu Xiaoli!!"

Cheng Kaiyan grabbed the young woman's shoulders and said in surprise.

"Correct!"

Seeing Cheng Kaiyan's reaction, Zhan Wenlei was undoubtedly even more curious.

What is the relationship between these two people?
"How did you two know each other? Is she still in Jiangcheng?"

"You probably don't know this. The dance troupe of Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater was invited by the Ministry of Culture to participate in the May 4th Youth Day performance. Liu Xiaoli naturally came to Beijing. They have been rehearsing at our Beijing Dance Academy for a short period of time."

Zhan Wenlei explained.

"In Beiwu?"

Cheng Kaiyan was shocked. Well, you came to Beijing without telling me in advance.

He suddenly thought of the surprise written in the letter. Could this be what she meant by surprise?
"Whoa whoa whoa~"

While thinking, he poured the well water into the basin, and the cool water splashed everywhere.

"Don't just focus on your work, give me some confirmation! I think that girl seems to be interested in you."

Zhan Wenlei said.

"Okay, since your eldest sister introduced it, I'll go check it out tomorrow."

This is quite interesting, is there a possibility...

We are a match!
Cheng Kaiyan looked at Zhan Wenlei who seemed to be unaware of the situation. She thought about it but decided not to say it out loud. It would not be long before she knew it herself.

"to make!"

……

Bathhouse of the Ministry of Culture Guesthouse.

Bathhouses, commonly known as "bathhouses", can trace their history back to the Yuan Dynasty, when "perfume shops" were opened by monks in temples. This was the predecessor of the bathhouse industry.

A bathhouse is not only a place for bathing, but also a place for socializing.

Bathhouses are not only places for bathing, but also places for socializing. People discuss business, resolve disputes, spend the night, and even hide from debts.

In the early days of liberation, some government agencies and enterprises did not have the conditions to build bathhouses, so they issued bath tickets to each person every month according to the nature of their work. As a unit benefit, employees could use the tickets to take a bath in commercial bathhouses.

There are also some units that have special natures, such as guesthouses, which need to accommodate people from all over the country and provide accommodation and washing, so they naturally need to build bathhouses.

The guesthouse of the Ministry of Culture was converted from a former air-raid shelter, so it has a huge space and not only men's and women's bathing pools, but also many small bathing pools.

The girls in the dance troupe of the opera house, exhausted after a day of rehearsal, naturally came to the bathhouse to take a bath to relieve their fatigue.

Moreover, after experiencing the first day when the bath attendant rubbed them all with mud, the girls’ shame subsided and they began to enjoy themselves comfortably.

It is so comfortable to soak naked in the hot water, wrapped in a bath towel, and eat peanut candy on the shore.

The girls splashed water on each other and played around from time to time.

"Sister Xiaoli, why do you come back so lately? Have you been practicing extra hours in the dance studio?"

Wang Danping leaned against the edge of the pool, peeling peanuts and putting them into her mouth, her little feet kicking on the water. She looked at Liu Xiaoli curiously and asked.

"That's it."

Liu Xiaoli did not tell anyone that she had peeked, and just replied casually.

After she came back from Beijing Dance Academy, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it for a while.

Let's sort it out first...

Zhan Wenlei, neighbor, Cheng Kaiyan...

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli stood up quickly.

With a splash, the girl's movement splashed a pool of clear water.

White mist dissipated from her body like silk.

Her skin was as white as mutton-fat jade, smooth and delicate. Every crystal clear drop of water could not stop and rolled down her graceful and smooth body, along with the trembling snowballs...

"Wait! They're neighbors! Wouldn't that mean my surprise would be exposed?"

The girl's scream was heard far away.

"Sister Xiaoli! I know you're older, but you don't have to be so blatant, right?"

Wang Danping gritted her teeth, looked down at the pointed corners of her corn, and suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.

"Die!"

Everyone started to play again.

The next day, April 30th.

There is still one day left until May Day.

The girls from the dance troupe went to the Beijing Dance Academy again, but the atmosphere today was a little different.

The girls' faces were filled with excitement and anticipation, simply because Teacher Jiang Ling announced that there would be no training tomorrow and that they would have a day off.

The same goes for Liu Xiaoli, because if Zhan Wenlei and Cheng Kaiyan are neighbors, she will definitely tell him about her affairs.

Will he come then?

Liu Xiaoli was a little absent-minded the whole morning, and she glanced out the glass window of the dance studio from time to time.

Looking forward to someone's arrival, just like before in Jiangcheng.

At that time, there was always a familiar figure silently waiting for her outside the dance studio. That was why the girl chose him without hesitation.

"He didn't come?"

Liu Xiaoli thought a little disappointedly.

"Xiao Li, you're not in good shape today. Why don't you take a rest? Are you having trouble adapting to the local climate?"

Teacher Jiang Ling noticed that Liu Xiaoli was acting abnormally, walked over, patted her on the shoulder and expressed her concern.

"Thank you, teacher. I'm fine."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head and thought that it was possible that Zhan Wenlei did not tell Comrade Xiao Cheng?

Or maybe I was expecting too much.

She laughed, then calmed down and focused on the dance moves.

Not long after, a figure suddenly appeared outside the dance studio and watched silently.

But at this time, Liu Xiaoli was concentrating on dancing and had no time to care about anything else.
