Chapter 193 Is this... my retribution?
"Young man, don't be so angry. The guy has been waiting for you here for a long time, and it's by the lake. If you lose your temper for a moment, it will be very dangerous!"
Tao Huimin nodded repeatedly under the patrol officer's instructions, looking very obedient, "Yes, yes, you are right, we will never do this again."
The patrolman left satisfied.
West Lake, on the Broken Bridge, a man and a woman stood facing each other.
They hadn't even met formally or spoken to each other yet, but she was pretending to be the other person's girlfriend in front of others. In the darkness, Tao Huimin's cheeks flushed as she thought about the scene just now.
"Thank you so much for what you did just now." Lin Weimin said.
He was happy in his heart, thinking that Teacher Lin's theory was still useful.
"Nothing... nothing. You've been waiting for a long time, right?" Tao Huimin's tone was apologetic.
Lin Weimin wanted to answer yes in a very straight-forward way, but he forced himself to take back the words he was about to say.
"It won't be long. Besides, I didn't write any time on the note. It's good that you can come."
When Tao Huimin heard him say this, a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.
She looked around and said, "It's getting late. Why don't we talk while we walk?"
"good."
The two of them came down from the Broken Bridge and strolled along the bank of the West Lake. In the distance, there were sparks reflected on the lake.
Tao Huimin hesitated for a moment and told her about the incident in which the ticket seller delivered the wrong fruit basket in the past few days.
Tao Huimin and He Saifei are the A and B roles in the play "Five Daughters Paying Homage to Their Parents", and they play the roles of "Yang Wufeng" and "Cuiyun".
That is to say, during the performance, if Tao Huimin plays Yang Wufeng today, then He Saifei will be Cuiyun.
On the day when Lin Weimin first came to the Victory Theater, it was indeed Tao Huimin who played Yang Wufeng on the stage. The next day, which was the first day that Lin Weimin delivered the fruit basket, Yang Wufeng became He Saifei.
Therefore, when Lin Weimin just said that the fruit basket was for Yang Wufeng, the ticket seller didn't take it seriously. He thought it was for Yang Wufeng that day, so he put the things down and left.
"Ah!" Lin Weimin was a little surprised and careless.
I didn’t expect that Tao Huimin and He Saifei actually played the same role.
"So she's okay, right?"
Tao Huimin shook her head and said, "Sai Fei was very smart. She was caught by the team leader and immediately pretended to faint. We sent her to the hospital. In this situation, the team leader couldn't criticize her, but he still asked her to write a self-criticism afterwards."
"That's good." Lin Weimin breathed a sigh of relief.
A trace of worry flashed across Tao Huimin's face, "But..."
Lin Weimin looked at her pretty face and said, "This is indeed a big blow to Sai Fei. She has always been one of the best people in the troupe, and the troupe has high expectations of her. After she woke up, she was a little distraught."
This is a huge misunderstanding!
Lin Weimin was still very confident in the lethality of his operation. He Saifei had been held up for so many days, but in the end she found out that the gifts were not given to her, and the love poems were not written for her. How sad she must have felt!
Teacher Lin rarely felt a trace of sympathy for the beautiful woman.
This emotion is probably related to appearance.
The higher the appearance, the heavier the emotion.
"I'm really sorry for her this time!" Teacher Lin sighed.
Tao Huimin glanced at him with her almond-shaped eyes and said, "It's all your fault. You didn't write your name when you gave something away, but insisted on writing some character's name."
This glance actually had a flirtatious tone to it, and Lin Weimin laughed, "I really didn't think it through this time."
When a woman acts coquettishly and loses her temper with you, it proves that she has accepted you from the bottom of her heart.
Teacher Lin’s theoretical knowledge came into play again.
Tao Huimin curiously asked Lin Weimin why the note was not put in the fruit basket today.
"The noise your leader made backstage was heard by the ticket seller, so she told me, so I changed my tactics temporarily."
Tao Huimin covered her mouth and smiled: "The ticket seller has a really good relationship with you."
"Maybe he was moved by my sincerity."
Lin Weimin did not mention a word about food coupons.
Tao Huimin chuckled and suddenly remembered that she had been chatting with Lin Weimin for quite a while but still didn't know who he was.
It's so strange. I just met him today, but why do I feel like we've known each other for a long time?
"you……"
Lin Weimin looked at her and seemed to guess what she was thinking.
"I thought you would never ask."
He extended his hand towards Tao Huimin and said, "Let me introduce myself formally. My name is Lin Weimin. I am currently an editor and a part-time writer. I work at Yanjing University."
Tao Huimin looked at his big hand and hesitated for two seconds before she stretched out her hand. "Hello, I'm Tao Huimin, and I'm currently an opera actor in the Xiao Baihua Yue Opera Troupe."
The soft and tender little hand remained in Lin Weimin's broad palm for a few seconds, and she shyly pulled her hand away.
"You work in Yanjing?"
"Yes, I came to Zhijiang on a business trip this time."
Tao Huimin felt a little disappointed. "Will you be returning to Yanjing soon?"
The topic seemed to suddenly become heavy.
Lin Weimin said, "It will take a few days. I have to visit some of my author friends who contribute to our publications during this trip."
"Is that so?" Tao Huimin's expression was hesitant. "In fact, our troupe will be going out of town soon."
"I know, we're going to perform in Hong Kong."
Lin Weimin stared at Tao Huimin and said, "If love lasts forever, it doesn't matter if we are together day and night."
Such a naked confession immediately made Tao Huimin's cheeks flushed, her face became hot, and even her breathing became a little rapid.
She turned her head to the side and said coquettishly, "Nonsense!"
A smile appeared on Lin Weimin's face. The innocent times were so good.
"Hui Min!"
Lin Weimin called her, and Tao Huimin turned her head, looking shy with her eyebrows lowered.
Lin Weimin couldn't help but hold her little hand. Tao Huimin symbolically pulled it away but didn't pull it away, so she let him hold it.
The two walked hand in hand on the road and chatted about their respective situations.
Tao Huimin's family is from Wenzhou, and her parents are ordinary workers. She has loved singing since she was a child, and her parents are very supportive of her interest. She often performed on stage when she was in elementary school.
In 1978, the Ruian Yue Opera Troupe recruited students locally. More than 2,000 people signed up, but only three were admitted. Tao Huimin had excellent qualifications and was the only girl admitted.
Last year, she participated in the Xiaobaihua Festival in Zhijiang Province and was selected to become a member of the Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe because of her outstanding performance.
When it was Lin Weimin's turn to introduce himself, he slowly said, "My family is from the Northeast..."
When Tao Huimin first heard Lin Weimin's name, she didn't think it was wrong. There were many people with the same name across the country. But when Lin Weimin started to introduce himself, she finally realized something was wrong and couldn't help asking, "Are you that Lin Weimin?"
"Which Lin Weimin?"
"That writer, Lin Weimin."
Lin Weimin nodded, "It's me."
For a moment, Tao Huimin felt a little dizzy.
She should have realized it the first time she heard Lin Weimin's name.
She reached into her pocket and pulled out the note.
"And when you finally walked by without paying any attention
Behind you fell to the ground
My friend, those are not petals.
It's my withered heart"
How could one write such a beautiful love poem without profound literary skills and talent?
A flush of excitement flashed across her face, and her eyes looked at Lin Weimin with a little more eagerness.
"Female donor, there's something wrong with the way you look at me." Lin Weimin joked, which caused Tao Huimin to get angry.
After laughing for a while, Tao Huimin asked in disbelief, "Are you really Lin Weimin?"
Lin Weimin took out a small work ID from his jacket pocket and said, "Can you take a look?"
The work ID card was from the Guowen Publishing House. Tao Huimin took it and looked through it curiously in the dim light.
Now I am even more convinced.
She lowered her head shyly and handed her work ID back to Lin Weimin. He teased, "You've seen my work ID, so should I take a look at yours?"
Tao Huimin rolled her eyes at him and said, "You've been watching the show for a few days, don't you know my job?"
"Just teasing you!"
Chatting and laughing all the way, the two had already left the West Lake and walked onto the street.
Nowadays, the nightlife in Hangzhou is very monotonous, with dim lights on the streets and few pedestrians.
Tao Huimin suddenly exclaimed, "What time is it now?"
Lin Weimin raised his hand and glanced at his watch. "It's almost eight o'clock."
"Oh no, I have to get back to school."
When watching the play that day, Zhang Qiang introduced to Lin Weimin that the Xiaobaihua Troupe is now based in Zhijiang Art School.
"Then I'll take you back. It's a bit late now, it's not safe for you to go back alone."
Tao Huimin nodded, with a hint of anxiety between her eyebrows, "Let's go quickly."
As she spoke, she was about to run. At this time, the bus to the art school had already stopped running, so she had to walk back.
Lin Weimin ran along with her steps, glancing around the street from time to time. There were too few taxis these days, and it was not convenient to get one.
After running for a while, he finally met a taxi and Lin Weimin quickly waved.
The taxi stopped and Lin Weimin said, "Hui Min, let's take a seat."
"No, it's too expensive."
"fine."
He pulled Tao Huimin into the taxi without saying anything.
The back seat of the Fiat was very narrow and small, and Lin Weimin, who was 1.8 meters tall, felt very depressed squeezed in the back.
"Don't worry, we'll be there soon."
Seeing the anxiety on Tao Huimin's face, Lin Weimin comforted her.
Tao Huimin nodded.
"You have access control, right?"
"Not only is there a curfew, we are not allowed to move around freely during normal times. We can only do so during holidays. I sneaked out today when no one was paying attention."
Tao Huimin's face showed a bit of worry, and Lin Weimin gently held her hand.
More than ten minutes later, the taxi arrived at the gate of Huanglongdong Zhijiang Art School.
The two got out of the car and looked at the school gate which was just around the corner.
Tao Huimin, who was originally anxious, stopped and turned to look at Lin Weimin.
"We are going to Hong Kong tomorrow."
Lin Weimin nodded and said, "I will also be returning to Yanjing in a few days."
Thinking of the impending separation, Tao Huimin's heart was filled with loss and sadness.
Although I only met Lin Weimin twice and spent a few hours with him.
But because of that romantic love poem, Tao Huimin had already fallen in love with the poet Lin Weimin. Now that she had met him and knew his appearance and identity, she was even happier.
Lin Weimin held her hand and looked into her eyes as clear as autumn water.
"As I said, if love is long-lasting, why should we be together day and night?"
As he spoke, he took out the pen he always carried with him from his jacket pocket and said, "This pen is what I usually use to record my inspirations. Take it and write to me when you miss me in the future."
Tao Huimin took the pen. It was just an ordinary Hero brand pen, but in her eyes it was worth a fortune.
She thought for a moment and handed the handkerchief she was carrying to Lin Weimin.
"When I come back from Hong Kong, I'll take a leave and go to Yanjing to find you."
Lin Weimin held her hand and said, "Then I'll wait for you in Yanjing."
Tao Huimin looked at him affectionately.
Teacher Lin felt that it was necessary to deepen the relationship at this moment.
But before he could take any action, the beauty in front of him had already let go of his hand.
"You can go back."
"I'll watch you go in."
The two waved goodbye, Tao Huimin looked back every few steps, and finally disappeared in the campus of the art school.
Lin Weimin stood there, and suddenly remembered his own ridicule when Qu Xiaowei and Liu Haiyan were in a long-distance relationship.
Is this... retribution for me?
