1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 161: Various Shuras Collided
next morning.

The weather was clear and cloudless.

Cheng Kaiyan took the film she shot yesterday and found a photo studio called Red Sun on Wangfujing Street to develop the photos. She asked when the photos would be developed and agreed to pick them up in five days.

So he went to the school next time, not to work, but to ask when the writer's class would start.

Back to the office at Beijing Normal University.

Jiang Ting sat in the office revising her thesis. After a month of improvement, the thesis on the influence of foreign culture was basically completed.

Seeing Cheng Kaiyan coming in, Jiang Ting said coldly: "You are really willing to come."

"Hahaha...I'm not..."

Cheng Kaiyan was just about to say, "Aren't you going to accompany your niece?", but she swallowed the words back.

Looking at her like this, could it be that Sister Xiaoli forgot to tell her that she was coming to Beijing?

"Don't talk to me! Finish correcting these two weeks' homework before you open your mouth."

Jiang Ting said without raising her head, leaving no room for refusal.

"understood."

What a bad temper...

I complained in my heart, but still obeyed obediently.

After all, I have been helping the drama club write drama scripts during this period and now I have been absent from work for too long. It would be difficult for me to refute it, which would affect my image in my aunt's mind.

But if I don't slack off now, when will I slack off?

You know, once the writer's class starts, you won't have so much time to hang out.

Go to class every day!
It's like going back to college.

Cheng Kaiyan sat down quietly, picked up the pen and started correcting the homework.

Right, right, cross, cross…

"Who wrote this? There are so many mistakes..."

Cheng Kaiyan corrected one book and felt a little puzzled. She turned it over and found that it was Ji Qinglan's homework book, which made her even more puzzled.

Isn’t this girl’s grades pretty good?
Could it be... Oh right, during this period of time they have been focusing on drama performances, obsessed with acting and have no interest in studying.

Cheng Kaiyan spent a long time correcting the homework because it was a two-week homework and she didn't correct the homework twice.

Later I turned to Zhao Ruixue's homework. This girl is amazing. She got all the answers right. Her handwriting is neat and beautiful, and her reading comprehension is profound and meaningful.

"We are both performing a play, so how come Comrade Ruixue is right about everything?"

It took me almost an hour to finally finish the revision.

Cheng Kaiyan finally got the permission from her leader to speak to her: "I have finished the revision. I want to ask you something. When will the writer's class start?"

"Classes will start on Monday, May 5th. The class schedule has been announced. If you take a look at the bulletin board, you will know that I have been too lenient with you during this period. From now on, if you dare to skip classes again, I will hold you accountable!"

Jiang Ting was still indifferent, but not as cold as before. She thought about it and decided that she couldn't be too lenient with Cheng Kaiyan, so she spoke in a very serious tone.

"Can you not be so strict?"

"Ok?"

Jiang Ting glared.

Cheng Kaiyan stopped talking. This woman was too cruel.

However, Cheng Kaiyan soon thought, what would happen if she knew that I was dating Sister Xiaoli?
hiss~
Or maybe he should just confess and ask Sister Xiaoli for her opinion. After all, the consequences are too serious and he can't bear it alone...

After correcting the homework, he took out the manuscript and started to revise it. He expected to hand it in in two days.

Writing this story felt like completing a mission, at least that's how Cheng Kaiyan felt.

Half an hour before school was over, Cheng Kaiyan looked at her watch and ran to the cafeteria to buy three meals, one for Jiang Ting and one for herself and Liu Xiaoli.

"Auntie, I've put the lunch box on the table for you. Remember to eat it while it's hot. It's your favorite scrambled eggs with tomatoes! I didn't ask the cafeteria auntie to give you garlic."

After Cheng Kaiyan finished speaking, she slipped away to Beijing Dance Academy.

Jiang Ting was about to raise her head and say something when he left. Looking at the lunch box on the table, she felt warm in her heart, "This guy."

"It will be his birthday in two days. What gift should I prepare?"

Jiang Ting opened the lunch box, bit the chopsticks in her mouth, and fell into deep thought.

After a while after dinner, there was a knock on the door. It was a girl's voice.

"Please come in!"

"Aunt San! Let's go to the Red Building of Peking University to watch a show in a few days. Here are the tickets my mother asked me to bring you..."

……

at the same time.

Beijing Dance Academy, dance studio.

The Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater is rehearsing intensively. Even though they have been training for a long time, it's still time to sharpen your weapons before the battle, right?
"Okay, let's disband and go eat."

Teacher Jiang Ling glanced at Cheng Kaiyan who was outside the door carrying a lunch box, clapped his hands and announced.

This young couple is still inseparable...

She laughed in her heart.

"Xiao Li, your boyfriend brought you food again? Tsk tsk, it's still good to have a boyfriend."

A young woman with short hair poked Liu Xiaoli on the back and said enviously.

Although dancers like them are never short of people who like them, it is very rare to find such excellent and considerate people.

Liu Xiaoli smiled faintly and didn't say anything, but she quickened the pace of changing clothes.

After wiping the sweat off, he wiped it again with a wet towel, then changed into his normal clothes, walked out of the locker room and into the corridor.

Cheng Kaiyan was waiting in the corridor with a lunch box. Liu Xiaoli approached and asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"It's okay. I just got here a while ago."

Cheng Kaiyan shook her head.

The two of them walked into the classroom they had been in last time and sat down quietly to eat.

"Drink some water. I have something to ask you. Didn't you tell your aunt about your visit to the capital?"

Perhaps because she was too hungry, Liu Xiaoli ate a little too fast and choked.

Cheng Kaiyan unscrewed her cup and handed it to her. The girl didn't look down on him and lowered her head to take a sip.

"No, but I will go there after the rehearsal is over."

Liu Xiaoli finished drinking and explained.

She and her aunt have a very close relationship. Although they live in different places and don't see each other often, they send letters to each other every month.

There was no notification this time, but I will go there later, which will be a surprise.

"That's good... Let's go together then, and confess our relationship to her. Otherwise, I'll always feel uneasy."

Cheng Kaiyan recalled the woman's expression in the morning. If Jiang Ting accidentally found out that the two of them were dating without telling her, she didn't know how angry she would be.

"Ah."

A thoughtful look appeared on Liu Xiaoli's face. This was a thorny problem. Since everything was caused by her delusion, she should naturally bear the responsibility for it all.

After they finished their meal and cleaned up, Cheng Kaiyan accompanied her to rest, which was actually just taking a nap on the desk like a student.

After the intimacy and enthusiasm of the first and second days, the relationship between the two returned to a calm and warm state.

After waking up, Liu Xiaoli went to training, while Cheng Kaiyan turned around and left, returning to Beijing Normal University.

This kind of days continued until May 4th.

This day is the May Fourth Youth Day, and it is the day when the dance troupe of Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater performs.

It is also Cheng Kaiyan’s birthday.

Early in the morning, my mother got up and cooked a bowl of longevity noodles.

Nowadays, when an ordinary family celebrates a birthday, they would at most eat a bowl of longevity noodles. Richer families would add two eggs or some lean meat.

Cakes are quite rare and most people can't afford them.

"Kaiyan! Happy birthday, this is my gift to you."

Cheng Kaiyan looked and saw a red and green embroidered sachet with lotus and lotus root patterns embroidered on both sides. The style was exquisite and beautiful. The sachet exuded a pleasant fragrance. She didn't know what kind of spices were used in it.

I reached out and touched it, and there seemed to be a hard object inside.

When he took it out, he saw that it was a piece of white jade, shaped like a button.

"Thank you, Mom. I'll give you a red envelope."

Cheng Kaiyan reached into her pocket, took out ten copies of "Great Unity" from the three hundred yuan that the Beijing Film Studio had given her for the adaptation that day, and handed them over.

"Thank you, this is what I deserve..."

Xu Yuxiu did not shirk the responsibility, as she often heard people say that a child’s birthday is a day of suffering for the mother.

……

May Fourth Street, Peking University Red Building.

For this Youth Day, the Ministry of Culture held a literary and artistic performance. The performance was quite grand in scale. The two hosts were Li Juan and Zhao Zhongxiang, hosts of the "News Broadcast".

Li Juan is the host of the "Xinwen Lianbo" program. She was one of the first anchors of the program and was later hailed as one of the most popular hosts in the 1980s.

As for Zhao Zhongxiang, he was the first anchor to appear on the "News Broadcast". Last year, he interviewed US President Carter during the designer's visit to the United States. Of course, the most impressive thing was the "Animal World" he hosted.

This performance invited art troupes, theaters and other art units from more than a dozen provincial capitals to perform in Beijing, involving more than ten programs including dance dramas, dramas, songs, etc.

The venue of the performance is also very historically significant, located in the Red Building of Peking University.

The Peking University Red Building is the red building of Peking University. Its predecessor was the First Courtyard of Peking University. Because the main part of the building's walls are made of red bricks, it is commonly known as the "Red Building".

The address is No. 29, Wusi Street, Dongcheng District, BJ City, which is the birthplace and memorial site of the May Fourth Movement.

It is the perfect performance venue for the May Fourth rehearsal.

In addition, this performance invited cultural celebrities from the literary and art circles, government officials, high-level leaders and their families, all of whom were either rich or noble.

When the group from the musical theater arrived at the backstage of the performance hall under the guidance of the staff.

Although I had expected it, I was still surprised by the delegation that came to perform and the big names that I only saw in the news.

At a glance, there were more than a dozen delegations, totaling hundreds of people.

"There are so many people, much more than the last time we performed in Jiangcheng."

"How can we compare? This is where the best artists from all provinces and cities across the country gather, and it's a national-level performance."

The female comrades in the dance troupe started to communicate with each other. Just thinking about the fact that these artistic works came from all over the country, they felt a little nervous.

"Don't underestimate yourselves. Our dancing is no worse than theirs. Our performance time is earlier, so there is not much pressure. Just perform as usual."

President Fan said a few words of comfort.

"But Xiaoli, your task is quite heavy. In addition to dancing, you also have to sing. It seems that the leaders above really want to hear your "Xiao Fang". Do your best. This opportunity is rare."

Teacher Jiang Ling patted Liu Xiaoli on the shoulder and encouraged her.

This performance was almost the same as before. After Liu Xiaoli danced, she also sang.

"understood."

Liu Xiaoli said calmly that even though she had not rehearsed singing during this period, she had already memorized every word of the song that Cheng Kaiyan wrote for her to sing.

Everyone found a lounge to sit down and rest, waiting quietly for the start.

……

Jiang Ting, Tang Minghua, Ning Wanjia, and Ning Yuan walked in slowly, entered the performance hall, and sat down in the third row.

The performance had not started yet, and the audience in the auditorium were chatting with each other, talking about the latest news, interesting things and the like.

"Ningyuan, go buy some snacks."

Ning Wanjia sat upright and gave instructions to Ning Yuan.

"You are such a tyrant, giving orders all day long... I wonder who would dare to marry you."

Ning Yuan's somewhat dark face was full of helplessness.

"What do you care? Are you going or not?"

Ning Wanjia snorted and threatened.

"Okay, okay, okay...what do you want to eat or drink? I'll go get it."

"Yogurt! Anything else is fine."

The brother and sister are arguing fiercely.
On the other side, Jiang Ting and Tang Minghua were chatting about family matters.

The two hadn't seen each other for almost a month, and they talked about Cheng Kaiyan, mainly because he was the person Jiang Ting introduced to Ning Wanjia.

"You know what, the guy you introduced to Jia Jia, A-Ting, is really quite good. I ran into him at the People's Hall in March. Guess what?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ting became curious.

She didn't know much about the details, she only knew that Cheng Kaiyan won a national award for outstanding children's literature. She didn't expect that these two people would actually meet?

It was quite a coincidence, so Jiang Ting asked, "What's going on?"

"I was attending the ceremony on behalf of the Ministry of Culture, and then two Red Flag sedans arrived and I went up to receive them.

It was Ms. Xie and Mr. Ye. Then a young man got off the car and also came out to support Mr. Ye. He was like a little follower beside Mr. Ye.

I didn’t know it was Cheng Kaiyan until I recognized her at the awards ceremony.”

Tang Minghua said this with a hint of smile in her eyes.

"There are such things. I'm not sure. The child is very opinionated and also very distant from others. He rarely tells others certain things."

Jiang Ting was a little surprised and explained, while also chirping at Cheng Kaiyan.

Hmm! This petty woman is still thinking about that matter.

"Talents cannot be required to meet the same standards as ordinary people. Both Mr. Ye and Mr. Mao appreciate him very much. I heard from Ms. Xie that Mr. Ye wants to take him as a student."

Tang Minghua smiled, not caring about it, and instead revealed a piece of news.

“That’s his blessing.”

Jiang Ting nodded with a slight smile on her lips.

This guy is really promising.

"Maybe in two months, my third brother will come back from southern Xinjiang. What do you two think? Do you really want to..."

"Okay, stop talking and let him go."

Jiang Ting said hurriedly, her tone very stiff.

Tang Minghua's sudden words made the three people present fall silent.

At this time, Ning Yuan ran in holding a cardboard box. Today's performance was longer, so he bought some more things.

“Look, I bought so much!”

"Eat, eat, eat! All you do all day is eat!"

Tang Minghua found someone to vent her anger on and started yelling at him.

Time passed quickly and the performance began.

The first to appear was the Peacock Dance performed by the Southern Xinjiang Art Troupe, led by a little girl of the Bai ethnic group. Although there were not many people, the performance was vivid, as if there was really a peacock standing there dancing gracefully, which amazed many people.

"Very good. This girl is only twenty-two years old, right?"

Tang Minghua glanced at the performance list and exclaimed.

"Very impressive, but our Xiaoli is no worse than her."

Jiang Ting nodded and gave an objective evaluation.

According to information from the Ministry of Culture, the girl was born in 1957, only one year older than her niece, and she has already appeared on the national stage.

However, judging from the performance I saw in Jiangcheng last summer, my niece is no worse than her.

"Hey! Is your Xiaoli at the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater? It seems that there will be two performances from the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater this May Fourth Rehearsal, one ballet and one song."

Tang Minghua turned another page and pointed at the program.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ting tilted her head to look, and sure enough, the words "Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater" were on the program list, and at the same time, the words "Xiao Fang" Liu Xiaoli appeared in front of her.

"It really is……"

But why didn’t you notify us in advance when this girl came to the capital?
Jiang Ting frowned and thought.

Tang Minghua, who was standing by, seemed to see her confusion and explained, "The time for this performance was rather tight. Some of the performers from the delegation only arrived in Beijing a few days ago, and they still have to rehearse, so there is not enough time."

"I see."

After a while, many performances were held, and soon the performance of Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater began.

Twenty girls came on stage together, wearing pure white ballet costumes with fluffy lace edges, which immediately attracted many people's attention.

Accompanied by the sound of music, the girls danced gracefully, which was a beautiful sight.

"Look, isn't that Sister Xiaoli in the middle?"

Ning Wanjia pointed at a figure on the stage and said.

"It really is."

Jiang Ting smiled and felt happy when she saw her niece.

Half an hour after the performance, Liu Xiaoli went on stage again to sing a song called "Xiao Fang".

"This song is good, comparable to Li Guyi's "Little Flower"."

Tang Minghua commented.

Jiang Ting smiled and said, "This was written by Cheng Kaiyan."

Tang Minghua's eyes lit up, "Is there such a thing?"

The cultural and artistic performance did not end until four in the afternoon. Jiang Ting, Tang Minghua and others informed them and went backstage to find Liu Xiaoli.

"Looking for Sister Xiaoli? Sister Xiaoli just left after singing."

Wang Danping looked at the beautiful woman in front of her who looked four points like Liu Xiaoli, and spoke truthfully.

"Oh, I see. I'm Xiaoli's aunt. Could you please let her know when she comes back?"

Jiang Ting wrote a note and left her an address, then turned and left.

She had something else to do today, which was to deliver the birthday present to Cheng Kaiyan.

As early as a few days ago, Jiang Ting had already prepared it. It was a Voigtlander 135 rangefinder film camera that she bought when she was studying in Germany.

"Since you can take photos, you should like it, right?"

The three-second clip of "Love Letter" shot by Cheng Kaiyan some time ago amazed countless young people, especially those who have had high school experience.

Jiang Ting is no exception, and that is why she chose this camera as her birthday gift.

"Third Aunt is so partial that she actually gave him a camera. Even though it's an antique from thirty years ago, it's still very valuable!"

Ning Wanjia, who was standing by, looked at the camera in the gift box and said sourly.

"Biased?"

Jiang Ting shrugged without comment. How could this be considered partiality?
Besides, it won’t be long before Cheng Kaiyan becomes closer to you than to you…

Jiang Ting said goodbye to everyone, got on her bike, and left without looking back.

"Mom, is Third Aunt really going to divorce Third Uncle?"

"I don't know... Let them choose for themselves..."

Tang Minghua looked at the receding figure with a dim gaze and murmured.

……

Xiaowei Hutong, Wutong Courtyard.

After the performance, Liu Xiaoli said something to teacher Jiang Ling and hurried back to the guesthouse to take a shower and change clothes.

Since Liu Xiaoli had already agreed with Cheng Kaiyan that she would come over to celebrate his birthday, and Liu Xiaoli had a performance today, the meal was scheduled for tonight.

After Liu Xiaoli changed her clothes, she went out immediately. After sitting in the car for more than ten minutes, she finally arrived at Xiaowei Hutong.

Walking into the yard, today is the weekend and there are many young people in the yard.

Suddenly, a strange girl named Liu Xiaoli walked in, attracting a lot of people's attention.

"Who is this person? Is there anyone with this number in our hospital?"

Zhao Jianjun asked curiously.

"I don't know, it seems like he went to Cheng Kaiyan's house."

The little girl of the Wang family was surprised.

"Do you think it's possible that the girl Cheng Kaiyan harmed outside has come to visit?"

An idea came to the mind of the pig butcher Wang Zhen, and he said with gloating.

"I'll go tell my sister!"

Zhao Jianjun frowned and immediately turned around and went into the house.

……

In the Cheng family's house.

After Liu Xiaoli arrived, dinner could begin. Mother Xu Yuxiu went to the kitchen to cook, while Cheng Kaiyan and Liu Xiaoli watched TV in the main room.

"Happy birthday! Kaiyan, you are twenty-one years old now."

At this time, Liu Xiaoli was sitting on a stool, congratulating with a smile, and handing over the gift she had already prepared.

In fact, she is one year older than Cheng Kaiyan, and their birthdays are almost the same, one is the 4th and the other is the 20th.

"Thanks,"

Cheng Kaiyan took it and found a thin small box, which was heavy and tied with a bow with a red rope on the outside. It could only be said that this was something a 20-year-old girl could do.

"open to take a look."

Opening the box, a black metal Hero fountain pen is embedded in the box, reflecting the light.

Cheng Kaiyan looked up at the girl beside him and asked, "Pen?"

"Yes, I picked it out specially. The day before yesterday I saw that the pen you were using had the paint peeling off and the writing was not very smooth, so I bought you one." Liu Xiaoli explained.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

"nice! You love it."

Liu Xiaoli raised the corners of her mouth slightly, she was very happy that Cheng Kaiyan liked it.

The two of them were chatting while watching TV.

Suddenly, a young man walked in from outside the door. It was Zhao Jianjun. He had an indignant and annoyed look on his face. His face was red and his hands were clenched into fists. "Cheng Kaiyan, come out for a moment! My sister wants to talk to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left as if he was disgusted.

"I'll go for a while..."

Cheng Kaiyan glanced at his back and said to Liu Xiaoli.

"it is good."

Liu Xiaoli just looked at his wrist calmly and nodded without saying anything, and took a sip of tea.

……

When she arrived outside the room, Cheng Kaiyan saw Zhao Ruixue standing under the eaves with a faint smile on her face. She was wearing a blue shirt with a long-sleeved top underneath, and was standing there in a cold and lonely manner.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Ah."

Zhao Ruixue nodded and handed over the thing in her hand. "This is for you. It's a birthday present."

Cheng Kaiyan took it. The object felt slightly moist. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a wooden bookmark.

There are several patterns engraved on the bookmark, including a "Fu" character. It doesn't look delicate or good-looking, but rather clumsy and ugly.

This girl must have done it herself, right? He thought silently.

"Thank you. With this bookmark, I don't have to fold the pages."

"I just like it. I just bought it at a street stall."

Zhao Ruixue nodded, then pointed behind Cheng Kaiyan and said, "Is she your girlfriend? The lesbian named Liu Xiaoli, right?"

Cheng Kaiyan's hair stood on end and he looked back, only to see Liu Xiaoli leaning against the door frame, looking at them with a smile.

"Hello, I'm Kaiyan's target, nice to meet you."

Liu Xiaoli waved and said hello.

"Hello, I've heard him mention you before. I'm Zhao Ruixue, his childhood friend."

Zhao Ruixue looked at her quietly and said calmly.

"Childhood friends?"

Liu Xiaoli looked at Cheng Kaiyan thoughtfully, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

hiss……

Are we going to start a fight?
Cheng Kaiyan's scalp felt numb.

At this time, another woman came into the yard carrying something and shouted, "Kaiyan! Happy birthday... Hmm? Xiaoli, why are you here too?"

Jiang Ting looked at the three people not far away, frowning, "You told Cheng Kaiyan when you came to BJ? You didn't tell me?"

Cheng Kaiyan looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Jiang Ting. She gasped and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

Hiss… Damn it, all these events collided with each other!
