"Meiyun, why are you so careless? You have a performance tomorrow. How are you going to dance with your leg injured like this?"
"And I heard that many leaders will be here tomorrow, and you're still the lead dancer. What are you going to do now?"
Liu Meiyu just accidentally fell down the stairs, and her calf was scratched and bleeding a lot. What's more serious is that her ankle was fractured. The slightest movement would cause her to sweat on her forehead due to the pain.
After the military doctor treated me, he said I should not dance for the next six months.
"I'm sorry," Liu Meiyu said with tears in her eyes, her voice soft and sticky.
The original owner had this kind of personality, timid and cowardly, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito, but she had a good figure, fair skin, and pretty looks. As long as she stood on the stage, any movement or look of hers was very attractive.
"Is there any need to ask? Feng Tuan will definitely let Qin Xiaoyue be on top!" The girl with two braids said carelessly, with a very unhappy tone.
Liu Meiyu looked at her and recognized that it was Song Hongying, who lived in the same dormitory with her. She was two years older than the original owner and outspoken. She was the only good friend of the original owner in the art troupe with whom she could talk about anything.
"Qin Xiaoyue has wanted to be the lead dancer for a long time, and now God has made her wish come true!" Song Hongying made no secret of her dislike for Qin Xiaoyue. When others heard this, some agreed and remained neutral, while others were smart and said nothing.
Liu Meiyun, however, was sweating coldly, and calmly changed the subject, "The most important thing is that the performance goes smoothly. Don't worry, Director Feng will make arrangements. Don't let me affect tomorrow's performance."
It was the first time that everyone heard Cyndi Lau speak so many words in one breath in front of a crowd of people. They were quite surprised and thought that she was worried about the performance, so they tried hard to comfort her.
Compared to Qin Xiaoyue who looks down on others and always finds fault with them, most people in the group have a good impression of Liu Meiyu. She is pretty, a good dancer, and not arrogant. She is just a little timid.
How could Liu Meiyun, who accidentally broke her leg when she just got through in the morning, be worried about tomorrow's performance? She was worried about her own life!
When I first came through, the original owner's short life flashed before my eyes.
At the age of 18, she performed in the army and was fallen in love at first sight with Qin Xiaoyue's childhood friend who was also in the army. Before the two of them could create sparks, the original owner broke her leg in an accident during the performance. The original owner, who was inferior and cowardly, refused Qin Xiaoyue's childhood friend's concern and was forced by the situation to marry herself to the countryside.
What's even worse is that after she got married, the original owner's parents died unexpectedly, leaving behind a young and stupid brother. The original owner ignored her husband's opposition and traveled thousands of miles to the farm to pick up her brother. However, the conflict between her and her husband and mother-in-law escalated. At the very least, they beat and scolded her, and at worst, they abused her. She lived a miserable life every day.
It was not until the winter of 1978 that the college entrance examination was resumed. The original owner wanted to take the exam, but her husband and mother-in-law would not let her. At this time, her younger brother suddenly drowned. After losing her last relative, the original owner finally collapsed and committed suicide by jumping into the river.
Such a lovely beauty wasted her life and died at the young age of 27. How tragic it is!
The source of all this is because of Qin Xiaoyue.
Qin Xiaoyue was jealous of the original owner's beauty and her ability to be the lead dancer. Even the person she had liked since childhood fell in love with the original owner at first sight. Qin Xiaoyue was also responsible for the original owner's accident and being forced to marry.
Liu Meiyu is really afraid of Qin Xiaoyue, this crazy woman, who is cruel, ruthless, and jealous. The key is that she is not an ordinary person, especially in recent years, whoever provokes her will suffer misfortune.
She didn't even dare to stay in the art troupe, let alone take part in tomorrow's performance.
"Why do you suddenly want to retire? It's just an injury. You can continue dancing after six months of recuperation. You can be the lead dancer now, why are you so ignorant?"
When Captain Feng came to the hospital to see Liu Meiyu, he was shocked when the little girl suddenly handed him an application for discharge from the army.
This child was a talented dancer selected by her from the local area. He has been well-behaved and hardworking over the years and has never made any mistakes. It is very strange that he suddenly has to retire from the army because of an accident.
"Tell me honestly, why do you want to quit the army? Were you bullied?"
Liu Meiyu's eyelids twitched. She didn't dare to relax in front of Feng Yujuan. Her nose felt sore and tears fell down. She choked and said, "I was distracted. I'm sorry, Captain Feng. I... I couldn't concentrate. My father wrote to say that my brother was sick and my mother hurt her waist again. I was really worried about them. I want to go back. I don't want to dance."
Thinking of the original owner's tragic experience, it was easy for Liu Meiyu to squeeze out two tears.
Moreover, although Captain Feng is usually serious and rigid, he has a good heart. When the original owner left the art troupe, he secretly gave the original owner tolls and dry food.
"You're a girl, what use can you do when you go back? If you stay in the art troupe, you can still get a stipend to send back to help." Feng Yujuan disagreed.
Liu Meiyu knew the situation in her family. Her father was originally a university teacher and her mother was also a school employee. However, something unexpected happened in the past two years and their lives have not been easy.
"I want to go back and take care of them, Captain Feng, please, I don't want to stay here." Liu Meiyu cried breathlessly. No matter how Feng Yujuan persuaded her, she was determined to go back.
If Qin Xiaoyue wasn't there, staying in the art troupe would indeed be the best option for her. With her family background, no matter where she went, it would not be as safe as staying in the army.
Feng Yujuan was troubled by the nagging. A child who was usually very obedient suddenly became stubborn and there was no turning back. Moreover, she remembered that she had just received a transfer order in the morning. When Liu Meiyu returned to the stage after recuperation for half a year, she would no longer be able to take care of her.
There was no other way but to give in a little. "Okay, I'll think about it and give you an answer after the presentation."
After seeing Feng Yujuan off, Liu Meiyu breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away her tears exhausted, and began to consider what to do next.
She definitely couldn't stay in the art troupe anymore. Not only that, she didn't dare run around during these days in the army, for fear that fate would arrange for her to meet the man who could drive Qin Xiaoyue crazy.
If she just went home like this, Liu Meiyu didn't know how to face the original owner's parents. Moreover, in two years, the original owner's parents would be transferred to work on a farm. She would either follow them or go to the countryside as an educated youth.
Anyway, neither road is easy to take.
Liu Meiyun has a feeling of powerlessness, as if she knew there was a tiger in the mountain but still went there.
But we have to go up the mountain, because there is a crazy dog named Qin Xiaoyue at the foot of the mountain!
At the arts performance on the second day, as everyone expected, Qin Xiaoyue replaced Liu Meiyu and took the lead dancer position.
The performance was a success without any accidents, but it wasn't particularly outstanding. Qin Xiaoyue was nervous and missed a beat, so Feng Yujuan scolded her.
All this was told to her by Song Hongying, who came to the ward to bring her food after the performance.
"Meiyun, we still like to dance with you. That Qin Xiaoyue is too self-righteous." Song Hongying sat beside her on the bed and couldn't help complaining.
Liu Meiyu covered the lunch box and wanted to remind her not to offend Qin Xiaoyue, but there were so many people in the ward that it was not convenient to say so.
I could only deliberately change the subject and chat with Song Hongying about random things.
"We will go back to the art troupe tomorrow. I'll help you pack up the things you left at the guesthouse." Song Hongying helped Liu Meiyu wash the lunch box, and when she saw that it was getting late, she decided to go back to the guesthouse first.
"Well, then you should be careful." Liu Meiyu lay on the bed and waved to her gratefully.
After traveling to this era, in addition to being on guard against Qin Xiaoyue, Liu Meiyu felt more of the warmth of human kindness.
Song Hongying blushed at the sweet and innocent smile on Liu Meiyu's face, and was glad that she was not a man, otherwise she would not be able to resist.
Liu Meiyu is beautiful, not just ordinary beauty, but the kind of unique beauty that is hard to forget after seeing her once. Song Hongying doesn't know how to describe it. Anyway, so far, she has never seen anyone prettier than Liu Meiyu.
After Song Hongying left, Liu Meiyu slept for a while. When she was woken up from a daze, she saw Captain Feng standing beside the bed.
"Captain" Liu Meiyu rubbed her eyes and sat up quickly.
Feng Yujuan saw the girl sleeping with a rosy face and a sweet voice, and her heart softened. Her originally serious voice softened unconsciously. "Well, wake up and I'll take you to the cafeteria for dinner."
Go to the cafeteria to eat?
Liu Meiyu glanced at her legs. Although she was confused, she didn't ask anything. She quickly put on her military coat, wiped her face with a wet towel that was not yet dry in the morning, and went to the cafeteria of the military hospital with Feng Yujuan on crutches.
The cafeteria of the military hospital is not very big, and there are only a few windows for serving meals. Most of the people eating here at this time are hospital employees.
"Wanjun" Feng Yujuan smiled and waved to a woman in a white coat sitting in the middle of the cafeteria.
The woman looked to be about the same age as Feng Yujuan. She had an outstanding temperament and her manners revealed in every move, and she didn't seem to come from an ordinary family.
"This is Doctor Lu from the military hospital. You can just call her Aunt Lu."
Feng Yujuan gently pinched her hand, and Liu Meiyun quickly greeted her: "Hello, Aunt Lu, my name is Liu Meiyun."
Her voice was neither high nor low, without the timidity and humbleness of the original owner, but not so sharp either, and it was gentle and pleasing to the ears, which surprised Lu Wanjun a little.
"Is this your good student?" Lu Wanjun smiled and handed over two meals that had been prepared on the table. "You must be hungry. Eat while we talk."
Liu Meiyu glanced at Feng Yujuan and sat down in the empty seat next to her.
