That afternoon.
Under a bare willow tree by Weiming Lake, Meng Xiaojun didn't care how cold the whistling wind was, and yelled at Liangqin: "Didn't think clearly? What do you mean!"
Not only the family, but also the classmates at school knew that they were childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. Even though there were rumors of an affair between Liangqin and Lin Yue last year, judging from their subsequent behavior, it seemed that it was just a short break in the relationship between Meng Xiaojun and Liangqin. episode.
According to the script expected by the two elderly people, they would go to the United States to work together after graduation, get married and have children there, and occasionally go home to visit when they have time. But now Liangqin said in front of so many people that she had not yet decided what to do with her. What do you mean?
"Do you know how others looked at me after you said that? On the way back to the dormitory, Xiaopang asked if we had a conflict. Liangqin, what exactly do you think?"
Ha~
Ha~
Liangqin stamped her feet, endured the biting cold wind, put her gloved hand to her mouth and took a few breaths, then she felt better.
She knew why Meng Xiaojun brought her here to talk, because few people came to Weiming Lake in winter, so even if the two of them had a heated argument, there was no risk of being heard. Last year, he and Lin Yue had a fight in the dormitory lobby. It seemed that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, but she knew very well that Meng Xiaojun was not as generous as he appeared. His relief was all fake. Every time he heard others talking about Lin Yue, Regardless of whether the review is good or bad, he will grit his teeth and curl his lips with a look of disdain.
"I didn't think about it."
"Why didn't you think about it well? When we were admitted to Yenching University, we agreed that we would go to the United States together after graduation. Now that we are in our junior year, you are telling me that we didn't think about it well?"
"Xiaojun, I...my mother has been in poor health recently, and my father's hair has turned a lot gray. They are both old. If they go overseas, who will take care of them in the future? It's really hard for me to make a decision on this matter. I am determined to leave them, and I have asked my senior senior sister, and she said that with our grades, it is easy to succeed if we choose to stay in school. Even if we obey the assignment, we will try our best to arrange for units in Yanjing City."
Meng Xiaojun did not agree with her explanation. The United States has always been his dream. If he can't live there, then what is the meaning of life?
"Can't live without your parents? I think you can't live without him, right?"
he.
Who is he referring to?
Liangqin knew it well. She even expected that Meng Xiaojun would bring the topic to Lin Yue. But even though she was prepared, when she heard this sentence, the hand on her chest still shook and her breathing became rapid. stand up.
"'Don't mention him anymore', didn't you say that?"
"Yes, I said this, and you have indeed done it for more than a year, but you don't say it, and only you know what you are hiding in your heart." Meng Xiaojun's eyes were cold, more threatening than The wind with the lake moisture is even colder.
In the past, Liangqin would have thought that he always spent his energy on sharing his opinions with people in book clubs, or on so-called "big things" such as a group of like-minded people sitting around a table, criticizing current events, looking forward to the future, and expressing emotions. "I didn't have time to accompany her to visit Fragrant Mountain, see the red maples, go to Houhai, eat freshly fried caramel rings, and even thought that the Valentine's Day gifts he prepared were not good or bad. However, in more than a year, , the above situation never happened again.
Why?
Liangqin either said that she was busy with studies, or that she had matured and would no longer act petty, or that the relationship between the two had entered the state of a couple for many years.
This is real? No, she's lying!
He knew why she changed, but he kept it in his heart and didn't say it out loud because he thought that after graduation and the two of them went to the United States together, nothing would happen to Lin Yue in the future, but he didn't calculate it despite all his calculations. Today, a year later, when Liangqin heard that Lin Yue had chosen to stay in China, she said, "I haven't decided yet." And from what she just said, it was easy to see that she was already looking for someone to stay in China. reason.
Can he not be angry? Can you not go crazy?
Liangqin said: "I just said that I haven't thought about it. I didn't say that I won't go to the United States. I am only a junior now and have not passed the TOEFL. I still have one year to think about it."
Of course Meng Xiaojun wouldn't believe it. He really couldn't understand that in the past six months, Su Mei from the law department had really turned into the prefect of the Exterminator and stayed by Lin Yue's side. Especially when eating in the cafeteria, whenever a female classmate got close to her, she would use murderous means. Her eyes drove people away, and even a fool could see what she was thinking. Even so, Liangqin still had illusions about that person, so what did it mean? Go ahead to dangers?
"You disappoint me so much."
After saying this, Meng Xiaojun left her and walked forward.
The cold wind on the lakeside penetrated through the gaps between her clothes and skin. Liangqin tightened her down jacket tightly. She was about to find a way back to the girls' dormitory when she suddenly smelled the smell of smoke in the air. She was stunned for a moment. Looking at Meng Xiaojun's back.
Lin Yue smoked, and Wang Yang also smoked, but he was not a big smoker, but Meng Xiaojun never smoked.
Nowadays even non-smokers are taking up cigarettes...
Liangqin felt like her heart had been stabbed. She no longer dared to look at Meng Xiaojun's back. She turned her head to look at the unfrozen lake and sighed heavily.
Is Meng Xiaojun right?
Yes and no.
Yes, because she did hear Lin Yue say that he would not go abroad, and she had some thoughts or reluctance in her heart.
What's wrong is that Su Mei asked her such a question, which one did Meng Xiaojun love more, her or the United States? If she failed the test or was denied a visa, would he go to the United States alone, or would he stay and wait for her.
She knew that this kind of comparison was cunning and inappropriate, but didn't she give up a lot in order to maintain her relationship with Meng Xiaojun?
…
One month later.
The beginning of 1983.
After a heavy snowfall, Weiming Lake was frozen by the cold current. There were always some people who wanted to die and sneaked into the lake to skate. More importantly, they were disobedient. When the security guard came, they fled in a hurry. When the security guard left, they were beaten. He came back again and continued to have snowball fights, build snowmen, and graffiti everywhere.
As soon as the afternoon class ended, Lin Yue was summoned to the Academic Affairs Office by the girl from the school radio station, and met Wang Yang in Nie Weiming's office.
His face was ugly, as if every cell in his body was stating the fact that the situation was very bad.
Next, Lin Yue saw something on his desk, a copy of "BOY" with the issue number 198211. In the middle of the black cover was a beautiful busty girl dressed as Chaplin. The middle button of her shirt On.
Of course he knew this magazine, because it was the last gift Jenny gave him before she was transferred back to the US headquarters of the Los Angeles Times as deputy editor. In fact, he was not very interested in this magazine. He only asked Jenny to buy it for someone like Cheng Dongqing. The bumpkin opened his eyes. Just like before, he flipped through it casually after getting it, and then threw the things to Wang Yang. He didn't know how this guy did it, but he was actually caught by Nie Weiming.
Although it is only January 1983 and has not yet reached the period of severe crackdowns, anyone with a discerning eye can see that things are serious.
In the past, when Nie Weiming received reports, he would handle them all by himself. Now there are three people sitting behind the desk - the director of the Academic Affairs Office, the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office, and Jiang Tenggao, the director of the Department of Foreign Languages.
But... this is fine.
Lin Yue paused at the door and walked to the desk with a relaxed expression.
