Chapter 13 Three Big Bowls

Chapter 13 Three Big Bowls

Among the memories that Li Ye inherited, his impression of Wen Leyu was not very deep.

One reason is that Wen Leyu is a girl of few words and rarely takes the initiative to communicate with others.

Even if you talk to her, she will only reply with a concise one or two words after you have been performing a stand-up comedy for half a day. Some children in Liuqiao Township Primary School laugh at her and call her "little mute".

Another reason may be that Wen Leyu's appearance does not conform to the aesthetic of this era at all. Li Ye was only concerned with Lu Jingyao at that time, and thus ignored this pearl in the sand and jade in the rough.

Looking at the movie stars in the 1970s and 1980s, they all had big round faces like full moons.

At the very least, she has an oval face, a plump figure, and exudes a strong youthful and healthy aura.

For example, Liu Xiaoqing in "Little Flower", Cong Shan in "The Shepherd", or the Queen of the Kingdom of Women in "Journey to the West", etc.

However, there are very few people with small faces like Lin Daiyu in "Dream of Red Mansions".

Wen Leyu, on the other hand, has a small face with extremely large eyes that take up most of the facial space, creating a unique kind of beauty.

This gives people an illusion that it is eye-catching at first glance, but upon closer thought, it feels inferior to XXX.

And from Wen Leyu's face and hands, we can see that her skin has nothing to do with the "rosy" color that was popular in this era.

Wen Leyu's skin was the kind of white that had no other colors and was a bit sickly white. This kind of skin was later praised as "cold white skin", but in this era, it was usually associated with malnutrition.

Coupled with Wen Leyu's skinny figure, she was mistakenly classified as a "poor child". She is beautiful, but she has nothing to do with the "peerless beauty" of this era.

But if such a Wen Leyu were to appear forty years later, she would be a typical beauty that would be envied by God!

Fair, young, thin, and with big eyes, if you really evaluate it carefully, Wen Leyu is a combination of the advantages of several well-known long-legged and small-faced beauties in later generations.

But Wen Leyu is younger than them, more green and less sophisticated, as pure and clear as a flower bud covered with dew in the early morning.

It’s not too much to take a second look at a girl like this if you have the chance, right?

So when Li Ye noticed that Wen Leyu was secretly glancing at him, he turned his head and waited quietly for her to look over.

Maybe it was the gears of fate that started turning, or maybe it was a romantic connection that just happened to click, but as soon as Li Ye struck a pose, Wen Leyu's eyes glanced over at him.

Wen Leyu was obviously stunned for a moment.

But she did not shyly turn her head away from Li Ye's gaze like most girls of that era, but instead looked at Li Ye calmly.

If he was 18 years old in his previous life, Li Ye would not have the courage to look into the eyes of a beauty of Wen Leyu's level. In a few seconds he would probably be timid and blushing.

But in this life, Li Ye's mental age is already several dozen years older, and his appearance is handsome and elegant. Not to mention looking into a girl's eyes for a few seconds, even for a few minutes or hours, Li Ye would not feel guilty.

Then, Li Ye was surprised, because he suddenly realized that Wen Leyu actually had a pair of eyes that could speak.

Wen Leyu's eyes were friendly at first, but as Li Ye admired her frankly, her beautiful brows gradually frowned, her eyes became puzzled, and then finally she felt a little embarrassed.

"haven't seen you for a long time?"

"What are you looking at me for?"

"You still watching?"

"Why are you so bold now?"

“.”

Li Ye’s eyes can’t speak, but he can smile!

The legendary eyes that can speak, wouldn’t it be a pity if you don’t appreciate them carefully?

"Ahem~"

"Pay attention!"

A light cough from the podium separated the two entangled gazes and returned them to the books.

Li Ye continued to read the text calmly, but Wen Leyu pursed her lips tightly, as if she was angry.

I don’t know who I’m angry with.

"Now I'm going to give you some test questions. Please write your answers on a piece of paper and hand it in later."

After Teacher Ke finished reading the text, he turned around and started asking questions on the blackboard.

At the beginning, the students in Class 1 could still write down the answers in their notebooks, but soon some of them became dumbfounded, and in the end most of them were scratching their heads and confused.

Li Ye understood at a glance that the questions set by Teacher Ke were clearly divided into levels from easy to difficult, and were intended to test the basic English level of a class of students.

Judging from the reactions of the class of students, the result must be unsatisfactory.

Li Ye casually scanned the blackboard without stopping the pen in his hand, and wrote the answers smoothly on the exercise book.

Suddenly, he felt something and turned to look at his deskmate.

Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye's exercise book in surprise, then looked at Li Ye, and then looked at the exercise book again. He was obviously a little confused and unbelievable.

Even if she didn't know the English level of the students at the County No. 2 Middle School, she knew Lu Jingyao's level. If the students at the County No. 2 Middle School were so awesome, then how could Lu Jingyao have ranked first in the county in English a few months ago?

"Students who haven't finished writing should answer the questions carefully, and students who have finished writing their answers should hand them in first."

Teacher Ke looked at Wen Leyu and Li Ye again, and gave his daughter an unhappy look.

Wen Leyu withdrew his gaze from Li Ye, quickly wrote the answers on the paper, and soon finished all the test questions.

The two of them handed their answers to the podium one after another, causing a burst of whispers.

"Has Li Ye finished writing?"

"He won't hand in a blank paper, will he?"

"That new student Wen Suyu has also submitted his work. Is he that amazing? I've only written less than half of it."

"You actually wrote half of it? You didn't guess it."

"Nonsense, aren't you just guessing?"

Not only did the students in Class 1 not believe Li Ye, even Teacher Ke was somewhat confused when he looked at the answer Li Ye handed in.

She is a professional and can tell the correctness rate of the answer at a glance. Moreover, Li Ye's skillful English handwriting does not look like someone who has only had short exposure to English.

Li Ye didn't notice Teacher Ke's confusion. He followed Wen Leyu back to the back row of the classroom and was attracted by the twisting hips in front of him.

There is no such concept as tight or constricting clothes these days. They are all bulky and loose, covering people's figures tightly.

But Li Ye, who has watched millions of movies, has a sharp eye. He can judge the proportions of Wen Leyu's upper and lower body just by the height of her waist twisting.

Long legs, absolutely long legs. She is 1.7 meters tall, but has legs that are more than 1 meter long. It's really strange.

Of course, in this day and age, long legs are not as popular as they are in later generations, and Wen Leyu's height of just over 1.7 meters is not necessarily an advantage in the eyes of many people.

In the 1980s, a young man who was 1.75 meters tall was considered tall, and at least half were under 1.7 meters tall. A handsome young man like Li Ye who was 1.8 meters tall was an abnormal rare species.

Similarly, in the 1980s, girls who were 1.6 meters tall looked very tall.

Wen Leyu is just over 1.7 meters tall, which is a definite disadvantage in the marriage market, just like the 1.85 meter tall girls in later generations. (This is true, as evidenced by marriage statistics, but most people involved are unaware of it.)

【It’s really a benefit that transcends time and space! 】

Sitting at the same table with Wen Leyu, Li Ye, who felt a little lonely and bored after the time travel, felt a little comforted.

"Sososo~"

Wen Leyu quietly pushed a small note in front of Li Ye.

Li Ye took a look and saw the words "Do you want to take the exam to go to Beijing to find Lu Jingyao?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the cold and indifferent Wen Leyu would also gossip.

Without thinking, he wrote on the paper: "No, Lu Jingyao and I are over. We have no relationship anymore."

Wen Leyu was silent for a few seconds, then pushed the note back again: "If you want to get into Lu Jingyao's school, I can help you."

Li Ye replied again in seconds: "No, I want to take the entrance exams to Peking University and Tsinghua University."

“.”

Wen Leyu, who had always been calm and steady, was shocked. She stared at Li Ye blankly with her mouth open, which did not close for a long time.

Finally, she hesitantly wrote a few words on the note: "How many bowls of rice can you eat?"

Li Ye replied honestly: "Three big bowls, they must stand out."
