Literary Master 1983

Chapter 40 Yu Qie also has a girlfriend

"Chen Xiaoxu?" Yu Qi said.

Zhang Li was stunned: "Yu Qie, how did you know?"

Yu Qie thought he was exposed, so he lied, "I think I heard it on the radio."

“Can you still hear these things on the radio?”

"It may not be the radio... In Yanjing, there are many people who know the truth... You may have heard about it from somewhere. Didn't I get the news when you came to the crew for an interview?"

Zhang Li had no doubts, "Don't dislike me because I'm fat and like others who are thin!"

"Zhang Li, you are thin enough."

It is said that Chen Xiaoxu once lost weight to 80 kilograms, and she looked like a sickly girl. The director therefore thought that this was the "holy body of Daiyu".

Chen Xiaoxu is a girl from Northeast China.

The peak of Daiyu and Chai's beauty probably occurred during the three or four years when they were performing Dream of the Red Chamber: later they both became wealthy women and no longer cared about their appearance.

After the meal, Yu Qie was about to get up to pay the bill, which totaled eighteen dollars, but he realized that he didn't bring any big money.

Because he usually spends money in small amounts, all banknotes larger than one dollar are kept by Yu Qie, so he only brought some change.

Yu Qie was a little embarrassed, "Zhang Li, I forgot to bring money."

Zhang Li was very happy, "I'll pay. I brought a lot of money with me when I came to Beijing this time, and I put it all here..." As soon as she stretched out her hand, she was also stunned. Her face suddenly turned red, and she suddenly said:
"Yu Qie, I have to go to the bathroom first! Don't follow me!"

Who followed you to the ladies' room? I'm not a pervert.

Zhang Li came out of the bathroom and took out a handful of money to pay, but Yu Qi snatched it away.

"Yu Qie!"

Her whole body was shaking and she even screamed "Ah!" and was about to faint, but Yu Qie held her up.

what happened?
Isn't it just taking money?

Was she dizzy from sitting on the train for four days and three nights?

It's strange, why is this money a bit smooth?

It must be because the snow was too deep and even the banknotes were wet.

The person who collected the money and receipts was a woman, who looked between Yu Qie and Zhang Li with a mischievous look. Zhang Li understood the look and was almost embarrassed.

If I had known, I would not have put that money in...

After all this, I found that the snow had fallen very heavily, as if there was a hole in the sky, and snowflakes were everywhere. The whole of Yanjing was covered.

The snow will get thicker and harder as it falls.

"Oh my God, what should I do?" Zhang Li said.

"I know someone who can help us. Follow me back to Yanda first."

"Yan University?"

Yu Qie turned around and smiled at Zhang Li: "It's my school, Yanda University."

He was in front and Zhang Li was behind, they took steps with difficulty, one in front and the other behind. Zhang Li was much shorter than Yu Qie and couldn't help but look at Yu Qie in front of her. The figure was so tall that it blocked the wind and snow for her.

In fact, Yu Qie is not much older than her, but she didn't expect him to be so reliable.

Zhang Li came to Beijing early on purpose this time. She could have waited a while because the actors of Dream of Red Mansions were from all over the world and everyone didn't have a specific time. It would be fine as long as she arrived before this time.

Why come early?
Just to spend more time with Yu Qie. This was Zhang Li's little thought, but now seeing Yu Qi helping her find a place to live in the heavy snow, she felt that "it was all my fault that I didn't get into Yanda."

Zhang Li had never been in love before, and she just felt that love was enough for her at the moment, so she was willing to sleep under the bridge, as long as Yu Qie didn't mind that his clothes were dirty.

"Yu Qie?" "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just want to call you to see if you can answer me!"

"Zhang Li, you are so boring."

After walking for a while, we finally arrived at the bus stop. The heavy snow made it difficult for citizens to move around, so the bus was packed with people as soon as it arrived, and there was also a huge crowd of people in front of it.

No one could get in through the door, and only the people who had gotten on the bus the first time were left, desperately holding on to the handle to avoid being squeezed off after paying the fare.

Zhang Li cried, "It's over, Yu Qie, how do we get in?"

"Look how I let you in!"

Yu Qie carried Zhang Li and forced his way in through the window, then threw all the bags to her and asked her to lower her head. He did the same thing himself, yelling through the window and kicking his way in.

Yu Qie was tall and strong, and once he stood still, he immediately occupied an advantageous position.

In my previous life, I was a very good player of playing PUBG. I never thought that one day I could “press the space bar” to force a roll into the window.

"Please give the money to the conductor."

Arms, like a forest of dead branches that had been thirsty for several years, stretched out towards the sky with all their strength, passing banknotes.

Zhang Li was tucked under Yu Qie's arm, with only her head sticking out and resting on Yu Qie's chest. Her face was filled with an intoxicating red color, perhaps due to lack of oxygen.

She clung to Yu Qie tightly, not daring to leave him. She held the exposed cloth from her luggage in her hands, looking at it bit by bit, fearing that it would be snatched away by someone.

Zhang Li is still living a life of luxury. She has only suffered the hardships of her unit, but never the hardships of ordinary people.

Yu Qie felt sorry for her. "You've never taken a bus in Yanjing, right?" Yu Qie said, "I'll sing a song for you. It's about how crowded this bus is. Listen to me..."

Cold wind blew in from all directions through the car windows, and the people in the car could only hear Yu Qie singing:

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze. Why is it always so difficult to take the bus? It's easy on public holidays, just make more time for the bus. The most frightening thing is going to work and getting off work. If you're late for get off work, your wages will be deducted. If you get off work late, your wife and children are waiting for you to eat..."

Zhang Li's eyes turned upwards, looking at Yu Qie's broad chin, and then she stayed close to him quietly.

--------

No. 5, Yiheyuan Road, yes, this is where Yanda is located.

With the student ID, Yu Qie led Zhang Li into the school and sat down with a club.

Then, he turned around and looked for Luo Yihe. He ran to the literature club, asked about Luo Yihe's dormitory, and knocked on the door:
"Luo Yihe? Luo Yihe?"

"Hey, you're out!" Luo Yihe said as soon as they met, "Yu Qie? Why are you here?"

Yu Qie said, "Luo Yihe, I know you are an editor at October. I have a friend who needs to find a place to live. I am worried about other places. Do you have any reliable place?"

Luo Yihe started his internship this summer and has been assigned to an office, October magazine.

"October" is a large national magazine. The writer Mao Dun himself wrote the editorial for it. It is known as one of the four major literary journals along with "Huacheng", "Shouhuo" and "Dangdai".

The "purity" of "October" and "Contemporary" is not that outrageous, and many popular literature works are published.

Luo Yihe did not refuse: "There must be a place. I'll find it for you. Just wait and stay there."

"It's not me who lives here, it's my girlfriend."

"Your boyfriend?" Luo Yihe was surprised. "I haven't heard much about him... Don't worry, I never brag. I will take care of your business."

Having said that, Luo Yihe turned back and gave Yu Qie two tickets: "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic".

Luo Yihe said: "Yu Qie, you can't just leave your girlfriend alone and not care about her. You have to shoulder her spiritual and cultural needs. Take this ticket and watch it in the TV room."
