Destined for three lives
Although she has been to college once, Yu Shu is still full of expectations for college life.
It was the height of the "Hundred Regiments" campaign, and various clubs were recruiting new members. Yu Shu had missed the most intense period last week, but the clubs were still recruiting. All her roommates who were supposed to join the clubs had already joined, and some key members were already recruiting new members.
"Yu Shu, come to the anime club. You'll be the vice president straight away."
Bai Le didn’t mention the president because he wanted to be humble on her behalf.
Anime club...it's interesting, but I don't want to join.
She draws comics enough.
There was a knock on the door, and Bai Le heard it on the phone: "Then I'll hang up first. If you come to the anime club, remember to look for me."
As soon as Yu Shu opened the door, she was distracted by the fragrance.
Zhou Changqing was holding a transparent lace bag in his hand.
"This is an activity of the baking club. This is my first batch of finished cookies." He immediately held up the bag of cookies in front of Yu Shu.
Sweet, slightly yellow, the cookies look very crispy.
Yu Shu's eyes lit up.
The shapes of the cookies are very childlike, including kittens, puppies, lions and fish.
"What other clubs have you joined?"
The bag was already opened, and Yu Shu pinched a piece of kitten for Zhou Changqing.
Zhou Changqing seemed to have anticipated this and opened his mouth in advance. Yu Shu felt that his smile at this moment was very much like a cat's.
Long-haired beauty cat.
"Um... Drama Club, Meditation Club."
Unexpectedly, there are quite a lot. Including the animal club and volunteer club when I entered the school, I have joined five clubs.
The cookies were slightly sweet and had a rich milky flavor. Yu Shu turned around and enthusiastically gave Zhou Changqing a thumbs up.
Zhou Changqing already understood what she was thinking.
"What do you want to eat? I'll learn to cook it next time."
Yu Shu immediately read out the names of the dishes to him. She liked desserts, but not overly sweet or greasy ones. The sweetness of desserts from other places was still too high for her liking.
Just like chocolate, she likes bitter ones and doesn’t like highly sweet ones.
This eating habit is completely different from Yu Hua and Qin Wan's.
People who grew up in that era are 100% accepting of sweetness, and if the dessert is not sweet, they feel like they have never eaten it before.
Zhou Changqing wrote them down one by one, then asked Yu Shu: "Drama Club, are you coming?"
He took a ticket out of his bag.
"The Drama Club's new play - Destiny for Three Lives."
The rose-red ticket stub depicted a couple in ancient costumes worshipping heaven and earth. Yu Shu blinked, aroused.
Although it is not the weekend, university classes are staggered. Some people are eager to attend evening classes, while others naturally start to leisurely enjoy the evening.
A cool breeze blew through her neck, and Yu Shu wrapped herself around the scarf that Lin Yinong had knitted for her when she was in high school.
There were students putting up posters at the entrance of the small auditorium where the performance was held.
——Premiere of "Three Lives of Fate"
There were already many students outside the auditorium. Yu Shu looked at those people and felt that she could never catch up with the students anywhere else. She had always been out of touch with the school gossip during middle school, but when she went to college, she learned for the first time that there were such interesting performances.
She felt like she was out of place, and the passersby and classmates next to her had already recognized her.
Even in the hot autumn, a girl wearing only a summer dress came up and asked Yu Shu to take a photo with her: "Don't forget to update it."
Yu Shu swallowed what she wanted to say: "..."
It seems like it’s been a while. The last update was from the draft saved during the filming of the dating variety show.
Zhou Changqing answered a phone call in the front and waited for Yu Shu to finish taking photos with her classmates.
Then he took Yu Shu and continued to walk inside.
Everyone was busy backstage, and Yu Shu found that even though it was just a university club, the costumes were very nice.
It's not crudely made and has a bit of an ancient costume feel.
Yu Shu suddenly became curious about Zhou Changqing's position in the drama club.
“Stage design is also lighting design.”
When the spotlights came on, the stage curtains rose.
The changing lights on the stage complemented the performance of the people on the stage. As the protagonist cried and was heartbroken, the lights on the stage shattered into a heavy rain.
The vertical light is cold and gloomy.
Yu Shu in the audience was already immersed in the play.
In the dim environment, Zhou Changqing adjusted the lights, following the protagonist's lines.
At the Golden Pool Awards that year, the spotlight shone on Yu Shu. She was so beautiful, but lacked some emotional shock.
No one who joins the drama club doesn’t want to play the leading role. Zhou Changqing also wants to, but his leading lady has not yet appeared.
Then let’s put on a show for the heroine without anyone else.
Until she is willing to join in the role.
The club's original lighting engineer was completely impressed by Zhou Changqing. This guy simply used emotion to light the scenes, and the results were surprisingly good.
In his opinion, this guy doesn't need to participate in the next voting and can just focus on lighting.
After the play was over, all the actors came out to take their bows, and the post-production staff came on stage last.
Yu Shu saw Zhou Changqing standing behind and gave him a big applause.
So wonderful.
The audience dispersed and looked for the leading actor's autograph.
Of course, the highlight is attracting new customers.
The members responsible for publication are already busy.
When Zhou Changqing went to the front of the stage again, Yu Shu had already filled out the form.
Her eyes sparkled: "Hello, colleague. I've also signed up for the drama club."
The senior student next to her smiled and took her watch: "Yu Shu applied to be a screenwriter."
However, the drama club has a well-known unspoken rule: the leading actors in each play are not fixed. Theoretically, as long as there are enough votes, members who play supporting roles can also play the leading roles.
Yu Shu is a very imaginative person, and it can be seen from the comic updates how well the drama club fits her characteristics.
Fate is destined for three lifetimes, so why can't it be me and Yu Shu?
Zhou Changqing accepted the warming pad that Yu Shu gave him.
On the way back, Yu Shu was still thinking about the play she had just watched, from the lines to the plot of Three Lives, from the lighting to the music.
Of course, Yu Shu knew that this performance was not as good as a real drama, but she was the kind of person who liked to watch things through a filter of her own setting.
As long as she has a foothold in the play, her mind will automatically fill in the details of the world view.
When she gets excited about something, she turns around and speaks backwards, as if that makes her feel more enjoyable.
With her brain fully stimulated, Yu Shu turned on the computer and began to sort out the new plot.
“After the show, we can’t contact each other privately, but who is Pei Xun? He’s the young master who doesn’t care about anything.
However, he was afraid that Pei Shuixian would find him annoying, so he didn't dare to be too ostentatious.
After the first stop, Pei Shuixian had moved out of the semi-basement and moved into a small one-bedroom apartment.
In the past, Pei Xun could not imagine that there was anyone who could curl up in such a small place.
After the second stop, she resigned from the Keao branch. Pei Xun didn't even have the chance to visit her at the company.
After much thought, he dressed up as an uncle buying candied haws.
Wearing black scarves, felt hats and military coats, the sound of hawking came from the loudspeaker.
Pei Shuixian didn't know why, but she had a special affection for candied haws. That night on the snowy mountain, a herdsman's lamb got lost, and Pei Shuixian and Lin Yu searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it.
The ewe is very human-like and will rub against the herdsman's big hands when they stroke her to comfort her.
The herdsman is old, and these are the last two sheep left in his family to keep him company.
Pei Shuixian was in a bad mood that night until the next morning, when Pei Xun went to the herdsman's store to exchange eggs and saw the bright red candied haws stuck on wooden sticks, like miniature apple trees.
When she gave it to Pei Shuixian, she looked at the candied haws with a very unfamiliar emotion, and it took a long time before she tried to lick it.
The lamb was found by Yuan Yang and Min Hyuk in the morning.
Later, Pei Shuixian seemed to stop avoiding Pei Xun for the sake of Tanghulu.
Pei Shuixian had only eaten candied haws once.
When I was five years old, my family took the bus to the beach in the evening. It was a beach that had not yet been fully developed.
After getting off the bus, you still have to walk for more than ten minutes to reach the remote beach.
The afterglow of the sun shines on the sea, the children from the seaside village are playing on the beach, and an uncle who sells candied haws from the village comes with him.
The woman with a bulging belly stood up, and her husband walked quickly from behind, about to leave the beach.
She lowered her head, her belly blocking half of her vision. Pei Shuixian was unnaturally thin, very well-behaved and obedient, staring at her with her big eyes, as if she already knew her parents' secret thoughts.
The woman looked up, unable to bear to look any further, as the playful boys were playing football on the beach.
She looked determined and touched her belly.
He pulled away Pei Shuixian's hand and bought her a candied haws.
Until the sugar dripped and turned into water, the night became dark, and all the lights in the homes of residents in the distance lit up.
The two never came back.
The whistling and buzzing sea breeze sounded at the beach, mixed with salty and bitter tears, and Pei Shuixian took the first lick.
The candied haws is just like its appearance, sweet as blood.
Every time outside the smoky chess and card room, the candied haws uncle would bring it to his stall on time at 5 pm. Pei Shuixian had seen it many times, but had no money to buy it, so she could only watch others eat it.
It turns out that her mother knew she wanted to eat, but did she know how painful it was when her father kicked her...
The adults didn't have the guts to question the foreman but dared to kick the money-losing goods at home.
Pei Shuixian didn't want to think about it anymore. The police officer asked her name, her parents, her address and contact information...
She said she didn't know anything, but at the end, she saw the flowers arranged by the hostess of the wealthy mansion on TV - daffodils.
How shiny and cherished.
The registering officer put away the form and held her hand with a small hand: "Pei Shuixian, my name is."
Pei Shuixian was admitted to an orphanage."
Yu Shu was already very sad when she figured out the plot to this point, but this was a foreshadowing that had already been laid out before, so she had no choice but to continue drawing.
So in the end, although the picture is beautiful, the plot is really too sad.
The discussion in the comment section is one after another.
[Wow, Yushu, you've hurt me again. I cried so much that I even bought a candied haws. There's blood on it. I bit my tongue.]
[Ewes love their children so much, why are humans so cruel to their own children?]
[For the sake of continuing the family line, for the sake of the broken bowl passed down from generation to generation.]
[Drunk men at construction sites and in chess and card rooms, pregnant women cooking in tin houses. Pei Shuixian might have been better off growing up in an orphanage; at least, she didn't repeat her mother's path.]
The mother actually knew how painful that kick was, but she didn't dare ask her husband to come home because she was a hen that didn't lay eggs, so she asked her daughter to go. As for the infidelity and losing all the salary playing cards, as long as she pretended not to know, her husband would still be that "honest man."
From this perspective, Pei Shuixian's life had indeed been playing tricks on her from the very beginning. No wonder she wasn't baptized at all after leaving the church at the second stop. "Heavenly Bodhisattva, if you were really here, you would definitely hate me."
The road was long, the sea was vast, and Pei Shuixian's parents once again followed the construction site. More than a decade had passed, and they probably had forgotten they had a daughter.
