Chapter 213: Young and Self-Degrading (asking for monthly tickets~)
Lu Youyou lowered her voice, but she underestimated her popularity in school.
It was no longer news that there was a beauty among the freshmen class. Ten days after the start of school were enough time for the news to spread throughout the campus.
Lu Youyou turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and had no idea how many people in the library were looking at her. She had already attracted a lot of attention when she packed up her things and stood up, and now it was even more so.
Is this someone trying to flirt with me? Which comrade is so brave?
Although it was a female classmate who came out, the guy with glasses who was posing coquettishly not far away should not be too conspicuous.
However, Lu Youyou's frosty face made many people gasp. Why did she look even better when she said "No Permit for Strangers"?
While those who were watching the fun had time to appreciate the beauty, the messenger was not so lucky. As Lu Youyou looked at her expressionlessly, she could not help but shiver.
She couldn't send the letter out because Lu Youyou had already turned and left. She didn't have the courage to chase after him.
After the protagonist left, she became the focus of attention. The pressure was like a mountain pressing down on her. She subconsciously asked the man with glasses for help, but when she turned around, she could only see the disappearing back of the culprit.
As Lu Youyou just walked down the stairs, someone patted her shoulder. She turned around and saw Cao Erniu's smiling face.
"It seems I don't need to carry a letter for the 'great poet' in our department. You will definitely not accept it, right?"
What the hell is a great poet?
Lu Youyou said helplessly: "Yes, so don't help."
Cao Erniu patted her chest boldly: "You underestimated me, didn't you? I ignored him at all! I can see that you are the kind of person who is afraid of trouble, so I won't cause trouble for you!"
Looking at Lu Youyou's face that was as beautiful as flowers, Cao Erniu felt more and more emotional. It was no wonder that those people were crazy. Who doesn't like beautiful women? Every time she looked at her, she couldn't bear to take her eyes away!
"Speaking of which, there are so many young talents in Huaqing, is there no one you like?" Cao Erniu was a little curious.
"I am married."
Lu Youyou's tone was so calm that Cao Erniu didn't react at first.
Three seconds later—
"What?! Did you say it wrong or did I hear it wrong?!"
Cao Erniu's mouth could fit a fist, and she stared at her blankly.
"You heard me right, I'm married."
Cao Erniu didn't say anything for a long time.
She is two years older than Lu Youyou and has never been on a blind date. In their village, she is a typical unmarried woman of advanced age who eats free meals. If she were not spoiled by her family, the gossip in the village would drown her.
"Then, then, then...those people..."
Cao Erniu suddenly thought of those playboys, who might damage Lu Youyou's reputation if they were not careful.
There was a widow in their village who was forced to death by rumors. Sometimes it is useless to prove one's innocence, as many people only believe what they want to believe.
Lu Youyou smiled and said, "If there is a similar situation in the future, just tell me that I am married."
She hadn't intended to hide it, she just hadn't had the chance to tell it.
Cao Erniu nodded blankly and returned to the dormitory, still immersed in this big news.
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Shen Fang asked her what was wrong. Cao Erniu looked at Lu Youyou, hesitating whether she should say it.
"I am married."
"What?!"
The four people spoke in unison, and even Li Lianqiao, who was out of place, couldn't help but interrupt.
Since the person involved had spoken, Cao Erniu felt relieved: "If someone asks you to deliver a message or something in the future, just don't answer it."
This statement was nonsensical, but everyone understood it immediately. Even if no one asked them to deliver love letters, there would always be people who asked about it, and there would be more than one or two.
Wang Kaixuan jumped off the bed without even having time to put on his shoes, and hopped to Lu Youyou on one foot.
"Sister Youyou, is this true? Are you really married?"
She knew that Lu Youyou went to the countryside as an educated youth in 1976, and it has been less than two years now. How come she is married?
Not only Wang Kaixuan didn't believe it, no one believed it, including Cao Erniu who was still in a trance.
If I remember correctly, this roommate of theirs hasn't even had his 20th birthday yet, so doesn't that mean he got married too young, just after turning 18?
Lu Youyou sighed. To be honest, no one would believe him...
"It's true."
Now the number of people who were dumbfounded increased from one to four.
Lu Youyou didn't explain it, this was the fact anyway.
She put the books she brought back on the desk and smiled goodbye to her roommate who was staring at her speechlessly.
"What do you think, is it true?"
"Yeah, who would joke about something like this?"
"Could it be to ward off bad luck in love?"
"You don't have to say you're married when you're unmarried, there's no need!"
However, their doubts were soon dispelled. Lu Youyou received a letter almost every week, which was said to be from her husband.
Lu Youyou didn't expect that Gu Qingye not only called her every week, but also had time to write her a letter.
The capital city and the island are thousands of kilometers apart. Gu Qingye can only hear the distorted sound on the phone and cannot see or touch it.
He didn't know whether Lu Youyou was doing well or whether she was taking good care of herself. What he was more afraid of was that the distance would make the two of them become more and more strangers.
He had no other choice, and he felt that calling was not enough, so he could only choose the dumbest way, which was to write a letter.
I can’t talk about work, so I’ll just write about my daily routine.
What time do I get up every morning? What do I eat for lunch? The vegetables in the yard are still so malnourished. I found her hairpin in the drawer and a small gray feather hidden in the crack of the bedside table...
Lu Youyou always received a thick stack of letters, as if she was still on the island and the person who used to be with her day and night was still by her side.
It was another Friday, and Lu Youyou put the borrowed books back to the dormitory as usual. A very familiar envelope lay quietly on the desk.
Li Lianqiao was the only one in the dormitory. She was leaning on the bed reading a novel. When she saw Lu Youyou taking the letter and leaving, her sarcastic words turned around in her throat for a few times, but she couldn't help but blurt them out.
"At such a young age, she has fallen into depravity and even fell in love with a country bumpkin. Could it be that she couldn't stand the hardship of farming and just married someone casually?"
Li Lianqiao became more and more excited as she spoke. She finally found Lu Youyou's weakness, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't say a few words to criticize it.
It would have been fine if I didn't know about it before, but Lu Youyou is actually married, and even after getting married she is still so popular. There are also many people in their English department who talk about the so-called school belle, and they even came to ask her after knowing that they were in the same dormitory.
She had already announced the fact that Lu Youyou was married, but no one believed it. No matter if they met in class or at school, there were always people who couldn't move their legs when they saw Lu Youyou.
Li Lianqiao was a good student, had a good family background, and was not bad looking. She was outshined by the married women in the same dormitory, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
She had seen the address on the envelope a long time ago, something like No. XX, XX Road, Dongzhou Island, which she had never heard of. Going to such a place as an educated youth and getting married, what else could she do than marry a peasant?
Li Lianqiao naturally didn't know that the special forces would not write specific addresses when sending letters, and all the letters would be forwarded to a unified receiving unit, which led to various misunderstandings.
