Cheng Yaoyao suddenly realized how those traces were left. Those vague fragments were not dreams. Where did the big lion come from? It was this big-tailed wolf from the beginning to the end!
Cheng Yaoyao was both ashamed and angry. He slapped Xie San's wrist and said incoherently, "You...you stop for a moment..."
Cheng Yaoyao's voice was soft and lingering, swallowed between lips and teeth, and the force of his rejection was like that of a kitten, wanting to resist but also to welcome, which had no effect other than adding fuel to the fire.
…
Xie Sanxian's eyes were burning with passion, and they contained a deep affection that Cheng Yaoyao had never seen clearly in the past. "Yaoyao, I will marry you."
Cheng Yaoyao couldn't stand his gaze, so she turned away and buried her face in Xie San's shoulder. Her small earlobes and neck turned red, and she muttered vaguely, "Who is going to marry you..."
Cheng Yaoyao had never thought about getting married. She was fierce in her words, but she didn't make any more noise. Xie San wanted to put her down, but she still held on to his collar and refused to let go.
After they separated today, they would not be able to see each other for several days. It would be safer to absorb more Yang energy. Cheng Yaoyao thought so and continued to lie on Xie San's shoulder with peace of mind.
How could Cheng Yaoyao be so light? Xie San held her in his arms, and it felt like he was holding a noble and disobedient cat. This cat had beautiful fur, was arrogant and picky, but suddenly it obediently crawled into his arms. Xie San was so spoiled that he didn't know how to love her.
Cheng Yaoyao lay on Xie San's broad shoulders, and was rocked by him like a baby. After he calmed down, he felt a little embarrassed and tried to find words to say, "How did you know I was in the black market?"
Xie San held her in his arms and hid in the shade of a corner. He said, "I couldn't find you at the supply and marketing cooperative, so I came to the black market to try my luck. You are not allowed to come alone in the future. Do you understand?"
Cheng Yaoyao said aggrievedly: "But I want to sell things." She secretly tightened her arms. As long as Xie San asked her not to sell, she would strangle him to death.
Xie San sighed imperceptibly in her ear and said, "I'll help you sell it in the future."
"Really?!" Cheng Yaoyao raised his head and looked at his deep-lined face with joy, "I'll split the profits with him."
"I don't want your money." Xie San said, "I want you..."
He whispered something in Cheng Yaoyao's ear. Cheng Yaoyao glanced at him with his eyes trembling and his cheeks flushed like he was drunk. He tried to remain calm and spat at him: "You wish!"
Xie San just smiled and said nothing.
The little lotus leaf absorbed enough of the sun's energy and swayed gently in comfort. Cheng Yaoyao was too lazy to move a finger, and suddenly had an idea: "Let's hold it like last time."
Xie San was puzzled: "How do you hug me?"
Cheng Yaoyao groaned and kicked him lightly with his toes: "Lift it up high!"
Xie San understood and lifted her up a little higher without any effort, holding her and walking slowly with her in his arms like he was coaxing a three-year-old sister. Cheng Yaoyao looked down from above, his eyes passed over the walls of the library covered with wisteria and creepers, and looked inside.
The library's second-floor red Soviet-style building was very quiet. Several windows were cracked and no one had repaired them. The corridor was covered with a thick layer of dead leaves and dust, and it was obvious that no one had taken care of it for a long time.
Cheng Yaoyao looked inside and said, "I wonder if there are any books in this library."
"Do you want to read a book?" Xie San looked up at Cheng Yaoyao. At this time, there was a breeze blowing on his face. Her slightly messy hair was blown up by the wind, and some strands stuck to his lips, with a unique rose scent.
Cheng Yaoyao stared at the small library building with greedy eyes: "Well, there is no TV or radio in the countryside. I am bored to death every night."
Xie Sandao: "What book do you want to read?"
"Novels." Cheng Yaoyao said without thinking, but worried that Xie San would think he had no future, he quickly added: "You can also get some college entrance examination review materials."
Xie San's arms stiffened for a moment: "College Entrance Examination?"
Cheng Yaoyao had just said it casually, but now his mind became more active: "Yes, the college entrance examination."
Although schools across the country are now in a virtual state, the national college entrance examination will resume in two years. The two protagonists in the original book studied together and both passed the entrance examination to Shanghai University. If I start reviewing two years in advance, I will definitely have no problem!
The more Cheng Yaoyao thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible. He hugged Xie San's neck tightly and asked excitedly, "What do you think? Do you want to take the college entrance examination with me?"
Cheng Yaoyao's peach blossom eyes were curved, bright enough to light up all the haze, but they couldn't shine into Xie San's eyes: "College entrance examination? Me? I have never been to school."
The college entrance examination was such a distant word to Xie San that he couldn't even step into school.
He met Cheng Yaoyao's surprised look and added with a hint of indifference: "...I can read. My family hired a teacher to teach me when I was a child."
Cheng Yaoyao suddenly hugged his neck and said with a smile: "Well, I know that if you go to school, you will definitely study better than anyone else!"
"I'm not as good as you say." Xie San stroked her hair gently. Cheng Yaoyao's childish words could always easily dispel the gloom in his heart.
Cheng Yaoyao shook his head and tail and twisted his body: "You have it!"
"...sister." Xie San couldn't hide the smile in his voice.
His voice was deep and pleasant, with an indescribable doting and tenderness. Cheng Yaoyao's ears were burning, and he slipped out of Xie San's arms embarrassedly: "I'm hungry."
In fact, Cheng Yaoyao was not hungry, but she remembered that Xie San had asked for leave and could not delay for too long. Xie San glanced at Cheng Yaoyao's watch and said, "I'll take you to dinner."
Cheng Yaoyao's hair was messy and her skirt was a little wrinkled. Xie San held a small mirror for her while she carefully arranged her hair and straightened her skirt. Xie San waited patiently, and the more he watched, the more he felt that she was like a cat licking him.
By the time Cheng Yaoyao had finally dressed up nicely and walked to the hotel with Xie San, it was almost half past twelve. The restaurant was full of people, and Cheng Yaoyao followed Xie San into the restaurant, looking around for an empty seat.
The beautiful and noble female educated youth and the poor boy in ragged jacket attracted countless looks as soon as they entered the door. Cheng Yaoyao was oblivious to them, while Xie San looked embarrassed and kept some distance from Cheng Yaoyao without saying a word.
Cheng Yaoyao said to Xie San, "Two bowls of Yangchun noodles, and some stir-fried pork with green peppers. I'll go find a seat!"
Xie San nodded and said to the fat salesperson, "Two bowls of Yangchun noodles and a plate of stir-fried pork with green peppers."
The salesperson had just had an argument with a colleague and was in a bad mood. She rolled her eyes, looked at Xie San, who was wearing an oily vest and worn-out Liberation shoes, and said unhappily, "No room left!"
Xie San took a quick look and said, "We can share the table."
"Then ask them if they are willing to let you fight!" The salesperson threw the greasy towel on the counter and spoke in a harsh tone.
Xie San pursed his lips. He had been subjected to such cold stares since he was a child and thought that it would not cause any emotional fluctuations in him. However, he had never felt more embarrassed than at this moment.
Cheng Yaoyao came over at this time, saying cheerfully, "The table by the window can be shared. Just order your food and go over."
The salesperson was stunned for a moment when he saw Cheng Yaoyao's face, then he looked Cheng Yaoyao up and down, then turned to look Xie San up and down, with an indescribable look of exaggeration on his face: "Are you two together?"
"No way?" Cheng Yaoyao raised his eyebrows and stared at the salesperson.
These days, salespeople are as arrogant as the Empress Dowager Cixi. Cheng Yaoyao looked at him arrogantly and immediately ordered the wasp nest: "Okay! What do you want to eat?"
Xie San held back Cheng Yaoyao who was about to get angry, and reported the dish again.
The salesperson held out his hand: "One dollar and six cents, four ounces of grain coupons!"
Cheng Yaoyao was about to pay, but Xie San held his hand down. He took out money from his pocket, a neatly stacked banknote, and it was unknown how long he had been holding it down. He carefully counted out the money and grain coupons and handed them to the salesperson.
The clerk pinched the money with his fingers and said in a voice loud enough for the two men to hear: "What kind of money is this? 15 cents, and it's so dirty! You're treating your customers to such a shabby meal!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and shouted, "Two bowls of Yangchun noodles and a plate of stir-fried pork with green peppers!"
Cheng Yaoyao was furious, and rushed forward and said, "You!"
Xie San grabbed her arm and said in a calm voice: "Let's go over and sit down."
Cheng Yaoyao's cheeks flushed red, and he glared at the fat salesperson for several times before reluctantly following Xie San to find a table.
There was a large round table near the window, large enough to seat seven or eight people. At this moment, two young men were already sitting there, the brothers Lin Jiaqi and Lin Jiajun.
Seeing Cheng Yaoyao coming over, Lin Jiajun stood up attentively: "Cheng Zhiqing, this way!"
Then he saw Xie San beside Cheng Yaoyao, and the smile on his face froze.
Xie San also saw the Lin brothers and paused.
Cheng Yaoyao was unaware and smiled, "What a coincidence! They are also having dinner here. It's a good opportunity for us to share the table."
Cheng Yaoyao took Xie San to the table and sat down face to face with Lin Jiaqi and Lin Jiajun. Lin Jiajun was impatient and his expression changed a lot, staring at Xie San. Lin Jiaqi patted his brother on the shoulder and said to Xie San politely, "What a coincidence, since we meet, let's sit together."
No one spoke at the table for a moment.
The Lin brothers ordered three or four dishes, two meats, one vegetable and one soup, which was quite a feast. They set out four sets of bowls and chopsticks, and Cheng Yaoyao asked curiously, "Is there anyone else?"
"Yes, my sister and her friend." Lin Jiajun answered hastily, and suddenly looked towards the door: "Speak of the devil, and he will appear."
Two young girls came over, one wearing a yellow blouse and the other a pink polyester blouse, both of them were very striking.
Xie San's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Cheng Yaoyao.
Cheng Yaoyao's face turned pale, his whole body became angry, and he stared at the girl who was walking towards him.
Lin Jiajun smiled and waved: "Lulu, this way!"
Lin Lulu took Wu Man's hand and walked over quickly, saying coquettishly, "Second brother, third brother, ... Thank you, third brother, why are you here too?"
She was talking to her brother but she glanced at Xie San from the side. Her pretty face was slightly flushed, unable to hide her joy and shyness.
Xie San only nodded slightly.
Lin Lulu and Wu Man sat down. She introduced them, "Brother, this is my good friend Wu Man, you have met her before. Who is this one?"
"Hello." Lin Jiaqi and Lin Jiajun just nodded lightly, and Lin Jiaqi immediately introduced Cheng Yaoyao to Lin Lulu: "This is Cheng Yaoyao, Cheng Zhiqing, from Shanghai. He has only been in the village for three months. You haven't met him yet, right?"
Lin Lulu stared at Cheng Yaoyao. Her appearance, clothes and temperament made Lin Lulu feel dizzy. She was sitting with Xie San at this time. Although the two kept a normal distance, the girl's intuition made her aware of something.
Cheng Yaoyao's face was as cold as ice, and she didn't want to talk to anyone, so Xie San answered for her: "This is Cheng Yaoyao, an educated youth."
Lin Lulu's smile froze in an instant, and she could hardly hold it. She stared at Xie San and asked, "Did Brother Xie San run into her by chance?"
Before Xie San could answer, Cheng Yaoyao said clearly, "I live in his house."
Their voices are so pleasant to the ear, their Mandarin is clear and melodious, and their voices are so sweet that they make people's ears go soft.
"..." Lin Lulu was a country girl after all, and she couldn't hide her thoughts at all, and her face turned pale immediately. She had been obsessed with Xie San since she was a child, and she had never been so close to Xie San.
Everyone's attention was focused on Cheng Yaoyao.
Wu Man's smile was a little stiff. She was attending the selection of the cultural troupe today, and she dressed up carefully. She didn't even take off her makeup and came to dinner with Lin Lulu because she heard that her second brother had retired from the army and would be assigned to work at the county public security bureau soon. She was originally very confident, but now Cheng Yaoyao was sitting opposite her!
Wu Man had never thought that she would see Cheng Yaoyao again so soon. This vixen who had suddenly appeared and taken up a place in the art troupe was now sitting face to face with her, which perfectly illustrated the saying "enemies meet on a narrow road".
Wu Man has always been good-looking since she was young, and she always wanted to be in the spotlight. She couldn't stand it when people's attention was not on her. She coughed lightly and found an excuse to talk: "So your name is Cheng Yaoyao, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Cheng Yaoyao then raised his eyelids to look at her. He was far away just now and didn't see her face clearly. Now he looked closely and realized that this was the person who offered 100 yuan to buy her skirt at the supply and marketing cooperative last time. Cheng Yaoyao was even more disgusted and turned his eyes away again.
Lin Lulu immediately asked: "Have you seen it?"
Wu Man smiled reservedly: "I went to register for the art troupe this morning and ran into her by chance."
Wu Man quietly announced that she was going to join the art troupe, and waited for everyone's envious looks and inquiries.
But the three men all looked at Cheng Yaoyao at the same time. Xie San's lips moved, and Lin Jiaqi asked first: "You want to join the art troupe?!"
