1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 269: Youth Completed
The five-day confinement passed quickly.

During the five days that Cheng Lu was locked in the small dark room, he thought about a lot of things. First of all, it was definitely the right choice to confront Liu Tao head-on.

Hit a punch to avoid a hundred punches.

For a cadre's son like Liu Tao who has a strong background, he is so arrogant and domineering that he would do such a cruel thing as stuffing a razor blade into the piano keys. If we do not resist, the other party will only become more rampant.

Cheng Lu chose to make a big deal out of the matter, which could protect himself to the greatest extent.

Even though Liu Tao's family has strong connections, he cannot do whatever he wants in the military region.

Second, since he had a fight with Liu Tao, the other party would certainly continue to retaliate, but he would never do something as open and aboveboard as stuffing a razor blade into his mouth. It would be more insidious and covert.

Thirdly, although what Sui Sui said was unpleasant to hear, she was ultimately concerned about herself. As she said, this was not a battlefield, but an art troupe, where the two of them were just ordinary soldier actors, and they did not have much say when facing the children of cadres like Liu Tao.

Even if they were put in solitary confinement, the results for Cheng Lu and Liu Tao were different.

For the first time, Cheng Lu felt the dark side of the small society of the art troupe and the coldness and cruelty of reality.

Fourth, the food cooked by Comrade Xiaoping is delicious, much better than that cooked by Suisui.

……

After this incident, the people in the art troupe who were unaware of the truth only knew that because of Liu Tao’s provocation, the two men had a fight and were put in solitary confinement.

Liu Tao took two or three days, while Cheng Lu took five days.

In the eyes of the art troupe members who were unaware of the truth, it was obvious who was right and who was wrong.

Some people who know the truth will just stand up for the injustice in private, but they will naturally not offend anyone in public.

Prejudice in people's heart is a big mountain.

As a result, Cheng Lu, who was not very popular to begin with, was marginalized this time.

Cheng Lu didn't care, he still had Comrades Sui Sui and Xiao Ping.

Things turned out just as Cheng Lu expected. The next few months were quite peaceful. Liu Tao did not attack him again, but instead used some small tricks to make things difficult for him.

However, Lin Suisui, who was close to these children of cadres because of her beautiful appearance and outstanding dancing skills, seemed to have a sense of distance between her and him these days.

Lin Suisui said that the group has recently launched a strict crackdown on promiscuous relationships between men and women, and as a lesbian, she still needs to keep a distance from gay men.

Cheng Lu, who was usually marginalized and treated coldly, was disappointed by this.

Before we knew it, it was September and the weather was getting hotter.

Cheng Lu has been in the army for more than two years now.

In order to welcome the National Day next month, the military region's art troupe will hold a performance.

The entire art troupe was busy and bustling with activity, and everyone was preparing for this grand performance.

Not only will there be generous gifts for this performance, but those who perform well will also have the opportunity to be promoted first and represent the art troupe to participate in the performance in Beijing.

Everyone in the art troupe was excited when they heard the news.

Lin Suisui is one of the best dancers in the art troupe, and she is looking forward to representing the troupe in performing in Beijing.

For this reason, she took Cheng Lu to continue training after get off work every day.

Cheng Lu was very cooperative and happy.

October 1st is National Day.

The whole country celebrated and the entire military region was filled with a happy atmosphere.

A grand performance was arranged in the auditorium, from morning to night, with a total of eighteen programs.

Cheng Lu also went on stage to participate in two events, one was the ballet accompaniment and the other was the collective performance of the art troupe.

Lin Susu's performance on stage was very popular and achieved very good results. Even the leaders applauded.

Cheng Lu was proud of it, as he had contributed partly to this.

As for Comrade Shen Xiaoping, she participated in a group dance, but was arranged in a corner at the back. At first glance, she could not be seen at all unless you looked carefully.

In order to see the other person, Cheng Lu deliberately changed positions with others to get a tricky angle so that he could see clearly.

The acting was pretty good too.

He also waved towards the stage, and Shen Xiaoping smiled back in surprise.

After the performance, Lin Suisui was among the top few. When she stood on the stage to receive the award, she looked glamorous and beautiful, with a lively look in her eyes. She looked extremely beautiful, standing there like a swan high above.

The person who presented her the award was Comrade Gu, the most outstanding male comrade in the group.

Compared to Liu Tao, Comrade Gu is truly outstanding and excellent. At the age of 25 or 26, he is already a second-level actor and the chief actor in the troupe. His future is limitless.

She is the object of admiration of young female comrades in the art troupe and even in other units.

There were two people, one receiving the award and the other presenting the award. They were laughing and talking happily during the conversation, which made many people cheer.

Cheng Lu just sat in the corner of the audience, watching silently.

After the end, Lin Susu, the protagonist, wanted to say something to Cheng Lu, but because her female friends invited her to a dinner party outside and it was not convenient to bring Cheng Lu, Lin Susu gave up the idea temporarily.

Cheng Lu didn't say anything about it, but just told her not to drink. Lin Susu smiled and agreed, and happily hugged him before leaving.

National Day is a happy day. After Cheng Lu went back to take a shower, he took a walk outside.

I happened to meet Shen Xiaoping, and the two chatted for a long time on the playground.

"Why didn't you go? I heard that many lesbians went."

"I don't want to go. What about you? Didn't Lin Suisui go with you? You are the main contributor to her winning the award. Didn't he invite you to his celebration party?"

“They are all lesbians, what am I going to do?”

"That's true, but there seems to be a gay man, Comrade Gu."

"She's going to perform in Beijing with Sui Sui."

"What do you think of my dancing?"

"It looks good, no worse than Sui Sui."

"How about I dance for you?"

The moonlight flows like water, and the mountain breeze blows across the green grass.

A young girl in a long dress dances in the moonlight, as beautiful as a moon elf.

On the grass, there was Cheng Lu who looked lost in thought. He seemed to be attracted by the dance, but also seemed to be thinking about other things.

However, Shen Xiaoping firmly believed that he was attracted by her dance.

……

Although Cheng Lu didn't want to admit it, he felt uncomfortable when he heard that there was a gay man participating.

Does Lin Suisui know or not?

The route is unclear.

But whether it is clear or not, Comrade Gu is a special person in terms of his excellence, popularity, and family background in the eyes of many people in the art troupe, including Lin Susui.

Even though it was a dinner party attended by all lesbians, no one gossiped or spread rumors when Comrade Gu went there.

But what about me? Am I special in her heart?

He felt that after he joined the art troupe, everything that happened was not controlled by him, and was not as he had imagined.

This was true even though Cheng Lu was a combat hero returning from the front lines and was noticed by the art troupe leaders and became a model soldier in the troupe.

There is a feeling of being helpless, which is the emergence and reflection of individual will under the collective.

It's not just him. Lin Suisui, Shen Xiaoping, Comrade Gu, Liu Tao, and everyone in the art troupe are surviving between the individual and the collective.

Some people thrive like fish in water, some have a hard time; some people shine like light, some people fall into the mud.

Laughing and scolding in ideals and reality, each blooming with their own youthful beauty.

Time flies and it is the end of the year.

The sky was overcast that day, which seemed to indicate that something big was about to happen.

The art troupe’s superiors strictly inspected the dormitories, adhered to the troupe’s bottom-line principles of “serving the soldiers” and “serving the people”, checked for illegal items, and resolutely maintained the army’s simple style regulations.

evening.

Teams of disciplinary inspection officers from the Political Department armed with flashlights swarmed into the boys' and girls' dormitories, indiscriminately checking for all kinds of prohibited items.

All symbols of the "bourgeois lifestyle" such as classical literature, Western music scores, imported watches, sunglasses, bell-bottom pants, radios, etc. were confiscated.

In addition, the purity of relations between gay men and women within the art troupe must be strictly guaranteed.

Any phenomenon of dating, having a relationship, or having promiscuous relationships between men and women must be dealt with seriously and decisively!
At the same time, comrades are encouraged to expose and report each other.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Why don't you open the door?"

A series of knocks on doors and loud shouts startled the male comrades who were resting or washing up in the art troupe's dormitory.

People who were wandering outside other dormitories would also come over upon hearing the noise and investigate what was going on.

Cheng Lu was among them. He saw this wolf-like, ferocious, serious and cold-faced official holding a dazzling flashlight as he searched through the beds and luggage. After a while, he found several prohibited items and even a pornographic book.

The gay man who was found holding the pornographic books turned pale with fright and was immediately taken away by the search officers for investigation.

Cheng Lu was shocked, and soon he realized that there were many intimate and explicit words in his diary and the letters he and Lin Susu exchanged over the past two years.

Judging from the posture of the search officers, the letters will definitely be searched.

Thinking of this, Cheng Lu's face changed and he immediately walked back without looking back.

A man in the crowd noticed that something was wrong with him, sneered, and followed behind him calmly.

This person is Liu Tao.

He followed Cheng Lu and soon saw him frantically searching in the dormitory. She was certain in her heart and hurried back to call for help, "Comrade! Comrade! Someone is trying to destroy the evidence!"

"What! How brave!"

When the leader in charge of discipline inspection heard this, he immediately frowned and followed.

When I arrived at Cheng Lu's dormitory, I happened to see him hiding his letters and diary.

"What are you doing! Put your things down!"

The leader shouted.

The four sturdy discipline inspection officers rushed over and held Cheng Lu down, saying, "Don't move!" "Let me go!"

……

"Show it to me! Dear Comrade Lin Suisui... I love you like..."

The leader stretched out his hand and opened a diary. He looked at the intimate and explicit words in the diary, his face turned livid, kicked the door, and roared:
"Great! This is so disgusting, so disgusting... It is simply a morally corrupt act that ignores discipline and seriously undermines the purity of people's thoughts!"

"Take that person away for investigation immediately! The rest of you continue searching, don't let go of any clues!"

……

Girls' dormitory.

"Lin Suisui! Your incident has been exposed!"

A female officer with short hair and a mean and sharp face rushed in with a sneer. She first looked him over and then said in a veiled tone, "You look like a foxy woman. No wonder you dared to corrupt our combat hero! A model soldier!"

"What? I didn't!"

Lin Suisui shouted with her hair disheveled, her face pale, and her eyes red.

Some people are panicking, some are celebrating, and some are gloating...

That night, a disturbance arose that affected everyone present.

……

trial room.

A group of people came in.

Cheng Lu, Lin Suisui, the whistleblower Liu Tao... and a group of men and women from the art troupe.

"What is the relationship between you two? How dare you secretly hide love letters and obscene words? This has seriously violated discipline and polluted our pure and clean style!"

"You are even morally corrupt and want to corrupt our fighting hero! A model soldier of the art troupe?! Lin Suisui, you are so bold!"

"It's better to actually recruit him!"

The interrogation leader slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"I, I, I...I didn't!"

Lin Susu was so frightened that her face turned pale and her lips trembled.

No one knows better than her, who has been in the art troupe for four or five years, how serious it would be if the high-pressure matter of dating was exposed.

What's more, the two of them exchanged letters, and not only Cheng Lu had these letters, but Lin Susui also had them.

It is impossible to hide it if it is discovered.

At the very least, the offender would be transferred from a core position in the art troupe; at the worst, the offender would be transferred to the front line or even expelled from the troupe.

What is even more horrifying is that notices are posted, and large meetings are held to criticize and educate people, causing them to lose face.

In this regard, she could only look at Cheng Lu with red eyes who was silent not far away, praying that he could come up with some solution.

She looks pitiful and charming.

Facing the pitiful, helpless, expectant and worried look of his beloved, Cheng Lu's heart was broken.

He was silent for a long time, and finally raised his hand and said, "It's me. It has nothing to do with Comrade Lin Suisui. Everyone has their own actions and responsibilities!"

"It is because I have filthy thoughts and dirty words, and I have bad thoughts about Comrade Lin Suisui, so I wrote these disgusting things. Comrade Lin Suisui is innocent, she knows nothing..."

Cheng Lu's sudden surrender made everyone present silent.

Lin Susu bit her lip and looked at Cheng Lu, her heart full of complicated emotions. She felt a little regretful and regretted going to see him.

But deep down in my heart, I couldn't help but feel grateful and relieved for surviving the disaster.

"I didn't expect him to be such a person. He is a war hero, but he actually did such a dirty thing."

"Tsk tsk, you can only judge a person by his appearance, but not by his heart. After all, people's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. These roughnecks have no cultural qualities and they only know how to fight and kill all day long. Didn't you see that when we went to perform in the army before, those soldiers wanted to eat us up?"

"That's not true. As the old saying goes, after three years in the army, a sow becomes as beautiful as Diao Chan. So it's normal for Cheng Lu to have feelings for our Sui Sui."

"How disgusting! I used to think he was good-looking and could play the piano. No wonder Liu Tao and he got into a fight and he was put in solitary confinement for five days, while Liu Tao was only put in solitary confinement for a day or two."

……

The members of the art troupe looked at this young man who had once been awarded the title of combat hero and model soldier with contempt and disgust, and began to criticize him.

at this time.

"Great! There's more than one Lin Suisui! There's also Shen Xiaoping, and there's another one in her hometown. Isn't this just having an affair? How dare you!"

The officers began to search Cheng Lu's letters one by one and read them carefully. One of them immediately shouted.

"what!"

Everyone looked on in shock.

If it was unrequited love, it would be fine, after all, they were not in a relationship, and the most that could happen was that Cheng Lu would be transferred out of the art troupe.

But having affairs between men and women is of a different nature!

This is a huge matter!

"I don't! I only like Comrade Lin Suisui!"

Cheng Lu's heart skipped a beat, realizing that someone had deliberately framed him, and he shouted.

"How dare you talk back! Why don't you just tell the truth!"

"Cheng Lu!"

The leader's face turned pale and he slammed the table heavily.

"I'm listening!"

Cheng Lu glanced at Lin Susu and saw that her eyes were full of disappointment and shock, and her heart was filled with despair.

Don't you believe me too?

Cheng Lu's eyes were filled with complexity, disappointment, grief, heartbreak and all kinds of emotions mixed together, and he almost cried.

He roared loudly, "I don't have it."

The interrogation lasted for three days and three nights.

During this period, Cheng Lu was locked in the interrogation room and had no food or water.

But even so, he still refused to admit it.

During that period, Lin Suisui did not come once, but Shen Xiaoping did come once.

But this undoubtedly greatly confirmed the leaders' chain of suspicion.

Although there is no definite evidence, the reputation has indeed been ruined.

The superior leader stripped Cheng Lu of the honorary titles he had fought for and the title of model soldier, and sent him back to his original position.

But Cheng Lu's heart had already been torn apart and shattered by Lin Susu's distrustful gaze.

In this way, Cheng Lu asked to be transferred to the front-line troops.

The day was overcast, it was raining heavily, and there were flashes of lightning and thunder in the sky.

Just like the day he came.

He stood at the door for a long time, but Lin Susu didn't come.

But Shen Xiaoping came.

"That's good, this way she can rest assured."

Cheng Lu looked at the brightly lit art troupe building in the distance, and felt relieved.

He went to the battlefield.

It was still the sharp knife company that retained its original number, and there he met old acquaintances again.

An old man holding a military flag.

Chen Lao Er.

"You're finally back? But there's nothing here anymore."

"Ah."

Cheng Lu was silent.

The two of them showed great tacit understanding.

Their sharp knife company retained its number, but there were only a few people left.

Can only stay in other companies.

Cheng Lu went to the battlefield again, each time was more dangerous and more desperate than the last.

Maybe he just wanted to wash away the humiliation and slander.

Even if it costs blood and life, I will do it.

In a battle involving tens of thousands of people, Cheng Lu carried a bag of explosives and blew up several bunkers, but was eventually shot by a machine gun and died on the battlefield.

……

……

"Huh... I finally finished it. I didn't expect it only took seven days."

Cheng Kaiyan shook his sore arms, took a long breath, leaned back on the three soft pillows behind him, and muttered to himself.

The final outcome is actually not certain.

Cheng Kaiyan has not yet decided whether the protagonist should die or not, and he plans to write two endings.

One death leaves many regrets.

It's a story about a protagonist who broke his arm and was too embarrassed to go back to BJ to see his mother, so he found a small city in southern Xinjiang to get married and have children, spend the rest of his life there, and finally survived the changing tide of the times.

"The merit-showing ceremony is coming."

"I hope to see them and Captain Hong..."
