True Love (novella) Zhang Baotong

In the evening, Zhang Xiangdong took Xu Li to the Spring Breeze Song and Dance Hall. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info song and dance hall is on the edge of the building materials market. The colorful net lights in front of the door flickered and flashed, like the stars in the sky, giving people a sense of confusion and dreaminess. It was her first time in the ballroom, and her heart was filled with romance and mystery. The ballroom does not charge admission for women, only five yuan for men.

When they entered the ballroom, it was pitch black, as if they had suddenly entered a movie theater, and they couldn't see anything. All you can hear is the sound of dreamlike music, echoing softly and in a low voice. A dim neon sign flickered and swirled in the darkness above the hall. Slowly, you can see dense figures dancing softly in the darkness. Zhang Xiangdong took Xu Li's hand and stood next to the hall waiting.

When the music stopped, the lights in the hall came on. The dancers began to disperse and walk towards their seats. Zhang Xiangdong pulled Xu Li to an empty seat and sat down. Zhang Xiangdong asked Xu Li what she wanted. But Xu Li saw that a small plate of melon seeds cost ten yuan, and a small bottle of drink cost twelve yuan, thinking that the things here were too expensive, she waved her hand and said no.

The music started again, and people began to walk onto the dance floor hand in hand. Zhang Xiangdong began to dance with Xu Li. Although Xu Li can't dance, she doesn't care if she can dance, but feels that she can hug her beloved so intimately without avoiding the eyes of others, how should she feel?

The music is elegant and beautiful, as if deliberately creating a romantic and beautiful atmosphere for lovers who embrace and dance together. She and Zhang Xiangdong embraced each other, feeling and experiencing a feeling that they had never felt before. Being so intimately embraced by this lover who is younger than her makes her feel young and vibrant, refreshed, and good. This feeling is far more than the feeling I used to have with my husband. Maybe it was because she was immature at that time, maybe there was no such romantic atmosphere, she had never felt so emotional and wonderful in the love between men and women. It's like her relationship with her husband is just an internship, and this love is a real experience.

They danced together, and after a while, the lights in the hall suddenly went out. Dancers naturally understand that this is the opportunity for the ballroom to create their aspirations. Zhang Xiangdong took the opportunity to hug Xu Li tightly and began to kiss her. Kissing and kissing, Zhang Xiangdong said, "I want you." Zhang Xiangdong thought that Xu Li would not agree. Because a woman can make out with you, but she won't let you break the bottom line. Women value their bottom line as much as they love their lives and cherish their reputations. However, contrary to Zhang Xiangdong's expectations, Xu Li actually nodded. Zhang Xiangdong thought that the reason why Xu Li agreed easily was because she was a married woman, she would not take that kind of thing seriously, and she would not involve virgin affairs, and she was really in love with him. He took Xu Li's hand and said, "I'll take you somewhere." So, Xu Li followed Zhang Xiangdong out of the dance hall.

Zhang Xiangdong took Xu Li to Yangjiawan Village next to the building materials market. Although it was already dark, there were a lot of people in the village, most of whom were migrant workers. Xu Li was afraid of being seen by acquaintances, so she deliberately kept a distance from Zhang Xiangdong, lowered her head, and followed Zhang Xiangdong like a thief. When I came to a small alley at the back of the village, perhaps because there were many renters, the farmers in the village kept adding floors, building a two-story building into four or five floors. As a result, the roadway is very dark and narrow, and it feels like the building is very unstable, as if it will collapse in the event of a magnitude 4 or 5 earthquake.

Xu Li followed Zhang Xiangdong into a farmhouse, went up to the fourth floor, and entered a room. The room is a studio with a bathroom. The room is not big, there is only a small bed, a small color TV, a desk and a small wardrobe, but the room still looks a little messy, not particular at all, especially on the bed, the quilt has not been folded, and it is a mess. Xu Li didn't like this kind of messy place, so she simply cleaned up the bed first. When the bed was tidy, the two looked at each other and smiled, hugged each other, and fell on the cot while kissing. Then, Zhang Xiangdong undressed Xu Li.

At this time, Xu Li's phone rang. Xu Li saw that it was Liu Shiliang calling, and knew that Liu Shiliang was asking her to go back to learn to read and write. However, she didn't want to go back right away, so she kept the phone ringing. The phone rang for about two minutes before it stopped.

After about 20 minutes, Xu Li's phone rang again, but Xu Li and Zhang Xiangdong were hugging each other under the quilt, and they felt that the phone was disturbing them, so they said, "Forget it." ”

It wasn't until about ten o'clock that Xu Li felt a little too late, got up from the bed, asked Zhang Xiangdong to send her out of the courtyard, and then called Liu Shiliang back while walking towards the outside of the village, "Principal Liu, I'm sorry, we danced in the dance hall, the sound was too loud, and I didn't hear the phone." ”

Liu Shiliang said, "It's so late, where are you, I'll pick you up?"

Xu Li immediately said, "No need, I'll be home soon." ”

When she entered the house, Xu Li saw that Liu Shiliang hadn't slept yet, so she said, "You haven't slept yet?"

Liu Shiliang said, "If you don't come back, how can I rest assured?" Then, he said, "Otherwise, let's take another class and study for a while." ”

Xu Li said, "Okay. ”

Principal Liu continued to teach her the names of the dishes on the menu. However, after learning for a while, Xu Li began to yawn. Because I spent all my energy on love just now, I no longer have the spirit and heart to learn literacy. However, she was embarrassed to say that she would not learn. Principal Liu saw that her eyes couldn't be opened, so he said, "Forget it, let's not study today." You go to bed early. ”

At noon the next day, Zhang Xiangdong came to the 401 private room to order lunch for Mr. Gou, and asked Xu Li to go to his house again in the evening. Xu Li said, "I'm not going to go today." As soon as I got back to the house last night, I fell asleep and didn't even learn to read. Besides, I always go out at night, so it's not good for Principal Liu to look good. How about a few more days?"

But Zhang Xiangdong refused, saying, "Otherwise, you can move out and live, anyway, your catering department has a dormitory for female workers." ”

Xu Li said, "I wanted to move out, but Principal Liu disagreed. ”

Zhang Xiangdong said, "He's not your parents, can he manage it?"

Xu Li thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, you can come over tomorrow morning and help me move my things to the women's dormitory." In this way, we can be free and unfettered at night. ”

Zhang Xiangdong said, "Okay, I'll find you a three-wheeler early tomorrow morning, but I can't go, because there are too many acquaintances, so it's not good for people to see it." ”

Xu Li said, "I'll call you at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and you can bring the three-wheeled person over." ”

Zhang Xiangdong said, "Okay. ”

In the evening, Xu Li returned to the house and wanted to tell Liu Shiliang that she was going to move to the women's dormitory, but she saw a middle-aged couple sitting on the sofa in the living room, as if begging Principal Liu for any help. So, she went into the large bedroom and sat down.

She heard the man say, "Principal Liu, you can do us a favor this time." Although we can also find other teachers to tutor, my son still thinks that you teach the best. ”

Liu Shiliang said, "I really can't, I'm very busy at night, I have to be busy with work, and I have to write essays and novels." I really don't have time. ”

At this time, the woman said again, "Principal Liu, why don't we add some more money to you, one hundred and twenty yuan an hour?"

"It's not about money, it's about the fact that the school doesn't allow teachers to do this, and besides, I'm very busy at night and don't have time at all." Then he said to the two guests, "I'm sorry, I'm going to speak at the Education Bureau tomorrow, and I have to write a speech, so I can't accompany you anymore." ”

When the two guests heard this, they had no choice but to leave. As soon as the couple left, Liu Shiliang shouted, "Xu Li, start studying." ”

Xu Li came out of the house and said, "You don't write a speech anymore?"

Liu Shiliang said, "I don't write speeches, I want to send them away so that I can teach you." ”

Xu Li said, "Why do they want to give you 120 yuan an hour?"

Liu Shiliang said, "I used to tutor his son in mathematics. His son's score on the exam increased from more than 30 to 86 at once. So, they also wanted me to tutor their son. ”

Xu Li said, "One hundred and twenty yuan an hour, you still don't tutor, but we can't earn thirty yuan after working hard all day." ”

Liu Shiliang said, "If I tutor his son, can I still teach you?"

Xu Li had nothing to say. Originally, she was going to tell him that she wanted to move to the women's dormitory, but when she heard him say this, she swallowed back what she wanted to say. Because people care about her so much, she doesn't appreciate it.
