Chapter 18: Roommates

The moment he pushed open the bedroom door, Xu Wangqiu saw a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old sitting on the edge of the bed reading intently. Xu Wangqiu thought to himself, he was really serious enough, and he didn't go around when he arrived in Beiping, and visited the capital.

Su Bai was stunned when he saw the boy, and then shouted: "Zhao Ban, you also study Nortel's directing department!"

The boy looked up and saw Su Bai, and said with surprise on his face: "Su Bai! You also read Nortel, which department are you from?"

"I am a 77-level student in the Chinese Department of Peking University, and I accompanied my junior brother to report. Su Baiyan smiled and introduced Xu Wangqiu, "This is Zhao Ban, his father and my father have been friends for many years. Zhao Ban, this is Xu Wangqiu, my father's apprentice, and my junior brother. ”

Xu Wangqiu has never heard the name Zhao Ban, and he should not be a good student in the 78th grade, but Zhao Ban's father is friends with his master, and he is so familiar with Su Bai, so he should have some background, so he stretched out his hand to Zhao Ban and said: "Hello, I am Xu Wangqiu, everyone will be classmates in the future, please take care of me." ”

With a sense of arrogance, Zhao Ban shook his hand lightly with Xu Wangqiu: "Since you are Su Bai's junior brother, you are my friend, if there is anything you need help with, just tell me." ”

Seeing this, Liu Lin and Wu Zhiliu also came over to greet Zhao Ban. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ban's attitude towards them was very cold, so he just nodded, turned his head and continued to talk to Su Bai. Liu Lin and Wu Zhiliu were a little unhappy with Zhao Ban's attitude, pretending to be like a character. However, they just reported today that they didn't want to have a conflict with others, so they put down their luggage and made their beds.

Xu Wangqiu saw that Zhao Ban was very enthusiastic about Su Bai, and thought to himself that this guy likes Su Bai! Su Bai immediately picked up the blanket and said to Xu Wangqiu: "You don't know how to make the bed, or let me make it." ”

Xu Wangqiu felt that Su Bai was underestimating himself: "It's okay, you sit and rest, let me come by myself." ”

Su Bai insisted: "Where are you doing well, when you live in the guest house of Xiuying Studio, you can't even fold the quilt well, or I'll come." Saying that, Su Bai stepped on the bed board of the lower bunk with his left foot, pulled the railing with his right hand, and was about to make the bed for Xu Wangqiu, but he didn't expect to miss the lower bunk, and his left foot fell directly. She screamed "ah", and the whole person lost her balance, and she was about to fall.

At this critical moment, Xu Wangqiu's strong hands stretched out, hugged Su Bai, took a step back, and stopped steadily: "Su Bai, are you okay?"

The manly breath on his face made Su Bai realize that he was being held in his arms by Xu Wangqiu, although Su Bai was not the kind of stupid woman who thought that she would get pregnant if she hugged her, but she was still shy, the red tide rose from her cheeks and spread to the root of her ears, and her whole face was like a red Fuji apple in autumn, and she said softly: "I'm fine, Wangqiu, you let go of me!"

The soft and fragrant body in his arms made Xu Wangqiu's heart flutter a little, but he immediately reacted, let go of his hand, and said with concern: "Are you really okay, your feet are not broken, right?"

Su Bai blushed and smiled: "It's really okay." ”

Liu Lin and Wu Zhiliu wanted to ask about Su Bai's situation, but seeing Su Bai's bright smile, they knew that she was fine, so they continued to busy themselves. Zhao Ban saw that Su Bai almost fell, and Xu Wangqiu took the opportunity to "hug", so he couldn't help frowning and said: "Classmate Xu Wangqiu, I didn't say you, how can you let a girl make your bed as a boy?"

Xu Wangqiu didn't speak, but Su Bai was a little unhappy: "I'm his senior sister, what's in the way of helping him make the bed?"

Su Bai's cold gaze and unhappy tone were like swinging a heavy hammer, and Zhao Ban's heart smashed hard, smashing his heart to tremble. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and sat down on his bed in despair.

Liu Lin and Wu Zhiliu looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, they were originally a little dissatisfied with Zhao Ban, and now they were naturally gloating, but what they thought in their hearts was, Su Bai really defended Wangqiu, damn, why don't I have such a senior sister!

Su Bai lifted the straw mattress on the lower bunk and saw that it was not a wooden board underneath, but a sparse piece of bamboo, she stepped into the gap just now, and couldn't help pouting: "Dignified Film Academy, the bed board is not a wooden board, but a bamboo piece." She turned her head to Xu Wangqiu and said, "Wangqiu, be careful when you get in and out of bed in the future." ”

"I know. Xu Wangqiu was worried that Su Bai would fall again, so he went to get the blanket, "I'll lay it out." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Making beds is very particular, you guys don't understand this. Su Bai carefully stood on the edge of the bed in the lower bunk and carefully made the bed.

Su Bai's movements were very quick, and after making the bed, he began to clean up the bedroom again. Xu Wangqiu definitely couldn't watch Su Bai work, while he was sitting next to him, fetching water, sweeping the floor, and cleaning the windows. Seeing this, Zhao Ban also put down the book and silently cleaned up with everyone. Everyone worked together to clean the dormitory thoroughly. Not only did they clean their beds and tables, but they also cleaned the beds of the two roommates who didn't arrive in the dormitory.

After the room was cleaned, Xu Wangqiu opened the box, took out a bag containing money, and prepared to enter the city with Su Bai and them.

Xu Wangqiu felt that everyone had to live in the same dormitory for four years, and it was very important to have a good relationship, so he said: "Zhao Ban, we are going to go to the city for dinner, you can go together." ”

Su Bai also said: "That's right, Zhao Ban, come into the city with us." ”

Zhao Ban looked up at Xu Wangqiu, then at Su Bai, and said lightly: "No need, you can go by yourself." ”

Xu Wangqiu continued to persuade: "In the future, we will fight together for four years, let's go together, I have a treat today." ”

Zhao Ban said coldly: "No need." ”

Su Bai saw that Xu Wangqiu kindly called Zhao Ban, but he reacted like this, and frowned: "If he doesn't go, forget it, let's go by ourselves." ”

Coming out of the dormitory, Xu Wangqiu and the others went to the dormitory of the photography department to call Gu Changwei and Zhang Yimou. Coming out of the school, they got on bus 345. After opening for a while, Xu Wangqiu lowered his voice and said, "Su Bai, that Zhao Ban seems to be interesting to you." ”

Su Bai glared at Xu Wangqiu: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not interesting to him." ”

Xu Wangqiu thought to himself that I didn't say that you were interesting to him, and asked, "Who is Zhao Ban's father, it should be in the film industry, right?"

Su Baizhu nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's Zhao Dan, when I was a child, other children always bullied him when they knew that Zhao Ban was Zhao Dan's son, so he didn't like others to say that he was Zhao Dan's son." ”

Xu Wangqiu was slightly stunned, it turned out to be Zhao Dan's son, no wonder he was so arrogant, with such a father, it is not normal to be not arrogant, and then think about Tian Zhuangzhuang, Chen Kaige and others are also children of the family, and couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many children of our school film family, and I am afraid that more than half of us are in this class." ”

Su Bai nodded slightly and said: "People in the film system usually have books on movies to watch and internal reference films to watch, but ordinary people can't get in touch at all, and they have a much greater advantage than ordinary children in the Nortel test." ”

Xu Wangqiu exhaled softly: "The children of the common people and the children of the family are two different classes, everyone has different knowledge and vision, I am afraid that there are many contradictions when they study together, and the school will definitely be very lively at that time." ”

Su Bai deeply agrees with this: "Our school is also divided into two camps, on one side are the 77 students, and on the other side are the 75 and 76 workers, peasants and soldiers. The workers, peasants, and soldiers felt that they were old men and had a lot of things to look down on the new students, while the students of the 77th class felt that I had been admitted by myself, so what are you? The two sides continued to have contradictions and conflicts, and the school's propaganda board became a battlefield for confrontation. Speaking of this, Su Bai looked at Xu Wangqiu and said confidently: "But I estimate that if the students of your school want to fight, no one can beat you." ”

Xu Wangqiu chuckled and said, "I will work hard and never let your old man down, Senior Sister." ”

After the car entered the city, Xu Wangqiu and the others went to the bank first. It's not like forty years later, when it could be accessed off-site. Get a bank card at home, and you can use the bank card to withdraw money when you arrive in Beiping. Now the bank is not connected to the Internet, and it is impossible to deposit and withdraw from other places, and even if you go out to do business, you will go out with a large bag of cash.

This time, Xu Wangqiu came over and brought 1,200 yuan in cash, so much money is not safe to carry on his back and put it in the bedroom, and it is the safest to store it in the bank. Xu Wangqiu plans to save 1,000 in the bank, and the remaining 200 for pocket use.

After depositing money in the bank, Xu Wangqiu and the others went to the Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant in Wangfujing under the leadership of Su Bai. Of course, now it is not called Quanjude, but "Beiping Roast Duck Restaurant". Because it is a well-known time-honored brand in the country, the things in the store are quite expensive, a roast duck costs 8 to 10 yuan, and other dishes also cost one or two yuan. In the end, Xu Wangqiu ordered two roast ducks, spicy chicken and oily pork, and ordered two vegetarian dishes and one soup. After eating a meal, it cost nearly thirty yuan.

Coming out of Quanjude, Xu Wangqiu and they went to visit Chang'an Street. Xu Wangqiu was very curious about what Beiping City looked like in 78 years, and he was very interested in shopping, and Liu Lin and others were even more so. Accompanied by the girl Su Bai, several old men walked around Beiping City with great interest.

Liu Lin and the others had never been to Beiping, and they exclaimed again and again, looking like they were entering the city with dirt buns. This can't be blamed on Liu Lin and them, Beiping is worthy of being the capital, and the goods are much richer than Rongcheng and Chang'an. However, the service attitude of the salesman is the same, nostrils are facing the sky, as if they owe them money.

At six o'clock in the evening, Xu Wangqiu and the others found a small restaurant to eat, and this time the meal was much cheaper, less than three yuan. After dinner, Su Bai went back to Peking University. Before leaving, Su Bai and Xu Wangqiu made an appointment with them, and she waited at the Deshengmen bus station at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and then took Xu Wangqiu and them to continue to tour Beiping.

When Xu Wangqiu and the others returned to the boys' dormitory, everyone in the dormitory was there. As soon as they entered the house, two boys in their twenties stood up and greeted them warmly. These two boys are both from Beiping, one is named Xie Xiaojing and the other is called Xia Gang. In the previous life, when Xu Wangqiu was studying Nortel, Xie Xiaojing was the vice president of Nortel, and Xia Gang was a famous director, directing films such as "Half Flame, Half Seawater" and "Encounter Passion".

Xu Wangqiu was very enthusiastic when he shook hands with Xie Xiaojing: "Dean Xie, hello." Please take care of me in the future!"

Xie Xiaojing felt inexplicable at Xu Wangqiu calling herself Director Xie: "What do you call me Dean Xie?"

Xu Wangqiu said nonsense: "The director of a hospital there we have looks very similar to you, and his surname is Xie." As soon as I saw you, I couldn't help but blurt out. You don't have any relatives surnamed Xie in Rongcheng, do you?"

Xie Xiaojing believed it: "My father is from Jiazhou, Xichuan, and he may have distant relatives in Rongcheng, what is his name?"

Xu Wangqiu's jaw almost fell, thinking to himself, I damn it, this is too coincidental, I just said it casually, and it really bumped into it. He could only continue to talk nonsense: "That, I don't know what his name is, we all call him Dean Xie." ”
