Chapter 30: A Sword Comes West
September 1 is the day when most schools across the country will open.
On this day, Zhou Yan habitually got up early.
Without washing, rinsing, or combing, he put on a simple suspender nightdress, opened the door, moved the rattan chair, sat down in the corridor, and then began to be dazed.
She didn't take out her usual little playmate, the little turtle.
Well, in Zou Wenhuai's words, in recent days, she has almost survived by that little turtle, and every day when she comes out to sit in the corridor in a daze, she takes it out too, watching it slowly crawl, crawl, crawl, and then slide down.
The two of them often play for two or three hours at a time.
This time she came back from the field, it was only half a month's work, but because she began to return to her normal diet, although she didn't eat too much, but with the nourishment of the meal, the whole person's complexion soon changed.
The slender wrists began to have a little flesh, and their faces became ruddy, and even their hair seemed to be darker and shinier.
The sky gradually became brighter and brighter, and the sound of people meeting and greeting in the alley outside the door began to increase.
Finally, there was a commotion at the door.
Moments later, the door was pushed open.
Well, since Zhou Yan moved back to live in this small courtyard, Wu Ma locked the door from the outside every night before leaving, because if she didn't lock it, Zhou Yan would definitely not lock it. At first, Wu's mother thought it was really bad to lock people in the yard like this, but later found out that even if she didn't lock it, she wouldn't leave the house every day, and she wouldn't even take it to the door, so she was relieved to lock it up. Besides, she also lives in the neighborhood, and a phone call is made, and it is quick to come and open the door.
Mother Wu turned around and closed the door, and when she saw Zhou Yan sitting in the corridor, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
This time in the past. She must have gotten up too, but she must have been sitting on the couch listening to songs, and she was always chattering about foreign songs.
Looking down at the time on her phone, Wu's mother was sure that the time was really less than half past seven. He walked over and asked, "Why didn't Miss listen to the song today?" Are you hungry?"
Zhou Yan raised her head to look at her, and seemed to be in good spirits, so she stood up and shrugged. Say, "Sort of." ”
Wu's mother smiled, "It's still a bowl of millet porridge with a boiled egg, okay?"
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Okay." ”
So Wu's mother put down her things and ran to make breakfast for her, Zhou Yan thought about it, so she went back to the house to wash her face and brush her teeth, and after cleaning herself up, she put on the clothes she had prepared a long time ago, looked in the mirror, and felt very energetic. I was very satisfied and wanted to walk away, but when I looked back, I felt that the jeans were too handsome, I thought about it, went back to the house, opened the wardrobe and rummaged through for a long time, and took out a pair of trousers that I bought in the early years, well, it was too formal, and the white shirt and trousers were too formal......
I thought about it. She threw her trousers back and began to flip them again.
Finally, a few minutes later, she flipped through to a pair of black slacks. I thought about it in my head, and I made up my mind in an instant.
Change your clothes, look in the mirror, OK!
White shirt, black slacks, handsome!
It happened that Wu's mother shouted outside that it was time to eat. She ran out happily and shouted to Wu's mother, "Look, look, okay?"
Mother Wu looked at her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Miss looks so good-looking, how to look good in how to wear!"
It's good-looking.
If Wu's mother's cultural level is higher, she may say that the current Zhou Yan is like a camellia with dewdrops, blooming clearly.
Zhou Yan smiled when she heard this, sat down to eat, first took a spoon and blew porridge spoonful, reached out to touch the eggs, and found that it was too hot, so she put it back, and soon, Wu's mother cleaned up the kitchen and came over, sat down next to her, and peeled eggs for her. Occasionally turning her head to look at her, it was like looking at a well-behaved and cute little daughter of herself.
After peeling the eggs and handing them over, Wu's mother asked with a smile, "Miss is going out today?"
Zhou Yan nodded while eating eggs.
Wu's mother asked again: "Is it going...... See that lad, don't you?"
Zhou Yan turned her head to look at her, seemingly a little shy, but still smiled and nodded.
Mother Wu smiled and didn't speak, just looked at her.
After breakfast, Wu's mother put away the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhou Yan got up and put on her sunglasses that were enough to cover most of her face, hesitated, but still reached out and picked up a tube of lipstick from a few years ago, unscrewed it, and wiped it lightly.
Since her debut, more than one makeup artist, producer, friend, etc. have said that she looks better without makeup than makeup, so from a very early age, unless she wants to be on camera, even if it is an important occasion, she is nude makeup.
Well, I'm going to deal with it a little bit today, but it's enough to rub it a little bit on it.
The crossbody bag was packed three days ago, and fortunately the maternal relatives have left, so there is no need to bring sanitary napkins, so there are some of the simplest small items to carry inside.
Then she took the big straw hat hanging on the wall and snapped it on her head.
White shirt, black slacks, flat heels and small casual leather shoes, brown linen crossbody bag, sunglasses, large straw hat...... This shape, if it were someone else, ninety-nine out of a hundred women would be ugly to death, but on the contrary, this one was worn on Zhou Yan's body, and it was a literary and fresh royal sister style.
She packed up and stepped out the door.
"Mother Wu, I'm leaving, don't wait for me to eat at noon!" she said.
Wu's mother hurriedly stopped her, poked her head out of the kitchen, and asked while wiping her hands, "Did you bring the house key?"
Zhou Yan stopped, opened the crossbody bag and glanced at it, and nodded, "Bring it." ”
Wu's mother asked again: "Did you bring your mobile phone?"
Zhou Yan looked at it again and nodded again, "Bring it." ”
"Wallet?"
"Brought it. ”
"Do you have money in your wallet, do you have battery in your phone?"
When Zhou Yan heard this, she hurriedly checked for a while, and replied, "There is money and electricity." ”
Wu's mother nodded, still a little uneasy, so she asked again: "Did you bring that little notebook? ”
This is the top priority, it's okay to say where I live, Zhou Yan still remembers, but the film academy is there, but it can't be lost. So she solemnly took out a small notebook and shook it at Wu's mother, "Bring it." ”
Mother Wu nodded. He said, "Then you should go quickly!
Zhou Yan smiled and waved her hand, "Let's go!"
Wu's mother had already come out of the kitchen. He followed her until he reached the gate, and when he saw that she had gone away, he stood at the door and sighed, then turned back to the courtyard and closed the gate.
That boy. Well, that's not bad.
But looking at what people mean, they don't leave their names, they don't keep their addresses, they don't even leave their phones, they don't seem to have any deep relationships with her - I guess this girl can't see it herself?
So she's gone...... Speaking of which, she is a big star, no matter how rich the young man's family is, can she still look down on her?
If you want to talk about shortcomings, her only shortcoming is probably that she has been married, right?
But now this year. Young people are all open, how big is it to be married?
Besides, how handsome is Zhou Yan! How many years older, shouldn't it be a big deal?
After closing the door, he thought about it for a long time, and in the end, Wu's mother shook her head with a wry smile and sighed.
Fate is such a thing, it depends on how God pulls the thread!
…………
The Suncheon Film Academy is hidden in a small alley in the south of the city, and Zhou Yan took a taxi to the gate of the college. I found that the school had just started to set up a table at the door.
A large banner running across the entrance reads: Warm welcome to new students!
She smiled and looked down at 8:43.
The Suncheon Film Academy is small because it is too specialized. It is built around film teaching, so together there are only those departments, and each department recruits a limited number of twenty or thirty students every year, so the enrollment scale of this college is about 200 people all year round. The entire school is included in the graduate school. No more than a thousand students combined.
There are fewer students and the scale of teaching is small, so the school is small.
Even at the gate, it looks like a third-rate street enterprise on the verge of bankruptcy, but the school's signboard looks like it has been newly made in the past two years.
On both sides of the door, there is also a large freezer, behind the freezer, under the parasol poked a small maza, on which sat an old man in a white vest, shaking the fan for a while.
Well, looking through the gate, there are only a few small buildings that are dusty.
In short, this doesn't look like the number one university in the film industry.
The surroundings are good.
This small street is planted with willow trees on both sides, and it is said that the earliest ones are two or three hundred years old, and they are not necessarily high, but they are particularly thick, and the branches are luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun.
On a September day, it was still very hot on this side of Suncheonfu, but the whole street was shaded by willows, and there was a slight feeling of shade.
Zhou Yan walked to the gate of the school, looked around, and without waiting for the first two classmates who were in charge of picking up the new ones to come over to greet her, she walked to the willow tree on the side of the gate, put her hands in her pockets, and stared intently at everyone who approached the school gate.
The old man under the parasol not far away shook his fan and looked up at her.
…………
At nine o'clock, many new students came one after another.
Big bags and small bags, mom and dad, big bags and small bags, mom and dad, one after another......
When the sun rises, it is already too much for the shade of the willows to cover.
Zhou Yan wore her big straw hat and looked at every young face and every car that drove through this door.
No.
If it were another school, there would be as few as 1,000 or more than 2,000 or as many as 5,800 new students a year, and the place where the orientation would be lively from dawn to dark, but on the side of the Shuntian Film Academy, it was not the case at all.
The registration of new students here is in waves.
With such speed and efficiency, in one morning's work, most of the new students have already entered the school.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yan was so hot that she turned her head to look at the old man who sold popsicles to Lehehe, took out her wallet and walked over, and asked, "How do you sell popsicles?"
The old man raised his head and squinted at Zhou Yan, and said, "One popsicle, two ice cream!"
Zhou Yan took out a piece of money and handed it over, the old man opened the freezer door with his hand, Zhou Yan took one out casually, and then stood next to the parasol and ate popsicles.
Seeing that it was almost morning, the old man had not much business at this time, so he asked, "Little girl, are you here to go to school?"
Zhou Yan glanced back at him and said, "Neither." I'm waiting for someone. ”
The old man let out an "oh", pointed to another small maza next to the popsicle, and said, "Look you've been standing all morning, sit down for a while!"
Zhou Yan turned her head to look at the little Mazha. After thanking him, he went over and sat down to eat popsicles.
After a short time, a middle-aged man who was obviously here to send his child to school came over, saw Zhou Yan sitting next to him eating popsicles, and didn't think about anything else. I asked her, "Is there ice cream?"
Zhou Yan was stunned, looked up at others, and said, "One popsicle, two ice cream." ”
The man happily pulled out the money, "Eight pieces of ice cream!"
Zhou Yan stretched out her hand and pointed to the old man next to her, "Give it to him." ”
After a few moments, the man took the ice cream and left.
But soon, someone came over and went straight to Zhou Yan, "Is there a popsicle?"
Zhou Yan raised her head again. Throwing away the stick in his hand, he pursed his lips and said, "One popsicle, two ice cream." ”
So the man bought three pieces of ice cream and left.
Closing the door of the freezer, the old man turned his head and glanced at Zhou Yan, looking strange and thoughtful.
Seeing that it was half past eleven, a tall boy from the orientation office ran over and said, "Uncle Qian." Sixteen pieces of ice cream. ”
The old man smiled and said, "Let's say okay first, two pieces of ice cream!"
The man was stunned, "And the price has risen?"
The old man smiled again. Stretching out two fingers, "It's going to rise for two days a year, why don't you eat it today?"
The man smiled and held out his thumb, "Okay." Uncle, you really can, this is the business scripture!"
The man handed over the money with one hand, tore off a plastic bag from the freezer with the other, filled the ice cream, and turned to leave. I just saw Zhou Yan sitting on the horse next to me, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and took a serious look.
After doing this big business, the old man was satisfied, and turned his head to look at Zhou Yan, "Are you still waiting?"
Zhou Yan nodded, "Wait." ”
The old man smiled and said, "I want to eat!"
While talking, an old lady came over on a bicycle, stopped the car, took down the lunch box, and glanced at Zhou Yan sitting on the horse in surprise, but Zhou Yan was unmoved, still staring intently at the gate where there were few people coming.
The old man explained for a moment, and the old lady was quickly relieved.
After the old couple finished eating, the old lady quickly packed up her things and rode away.
The old man burped comfortably, picked up the big cup and drank the water. After lunch, as usual, he wanted to squint for a while, but when he turned his head to look at Zhou Yan, he couldn't help but ask, "Girl, who are you waiting for?"
Zhou Yan turned her head to look at him and said, "A friend." ”
The old man shook his fan, "You wait like this, wait until we have one more stop?" If it's a friend, why don't you just make a phone call?"
Zhou Yante is honest, she will say whatever people ask, "I don't have his phone, and I don't know what his name is." ”
But after a pause, she emphasized: "But he really is my friend." ”
The old man pursed his lips, thinking that the girl seemed to be a little silly.
…………
In the afternoon, another wave of new students came, and the orientation office was briefly busy for a while.
Then, I don't know when, somehow someone started to discuss, "Look, that girl over there, selling popsicles for the old money!
Then, people kept coming to buy popsicles.
And almost everyone ran directly to Zhou Yan and asked her, "Are there any popsicles?"
And Zhou Yan's answer is always the same sentence, "One popsicle, two ice cream." ”
On this day, the old man's business was so good that it exploded.
Ice cream popsicles filled with a large freezer were sold to the bottom.
However, seeing that it was already past four o'clock, there had been no new students at the door of the orientation office for a long time, but Zhou Yan had never been able to wait for the person she was waiting for.
The sun shone on her straw hat.
She began to lower her head.
The old man suddenly asked again, "Girl, when are you going to wait?"
Zhou Yan raised her head to look at him, her expression was a little gloomy, but she still smiled reluctantly and said, "Wait a little longer." ”
The old man nodded and stopped talking.
…………
In the morning, Li Qian sent Wang Jinglu to school first, and when she was settled inside and out, the two of them had lunch together, and then they went back to the house to get their things and came to go through the enrollment procedures.
It was a special coincidence when he came, someone happened to block Zhou Yan in front of him to buy popsicles, which was almost a mistake, Li Qian went in, but Zhou Yan didn't see him.
By the time Li Qian completed the enrollment procedures, put all his things in the assigned dormitory, and got to know a few classmates in the same dormitory, it was already past four o'clock.
It was hot in the dormitory, and the parents of the two families who sent their children to school proposed to go out and find an air-conditioned restaurant to sit down, just in time for everyone to have dinner together and get acquainted.
In front of the parents, a few big boys didn't have much to say, and Li Qian didn't plan to do anything special, so he came out with the flow.
When I walked to the gate of the school, I heard someone discussing there.
"I guess, that girl may have come to pick an actor, otherwise why would she stay at the school gate for a day?"
"Hey, are you stupid? Do you think she looks like a casting director or a producer? Besides, if people want to find an actor, go directly to the Academic Affairs Office for the record, and then interview directly, don't you have to wait at the door?"
"Don't care if you're here to pick actors, anyway, I think the old money is copied today! Just like that, a woman sat next to his big freezer, hey, the old money will sell more than 200 pieces of ice cream today!"
"Hey, hey, I said, have you paid attention to her face, I know, half of it is covered, but when I look at her nose, mouth, and chin, I feel that her face is familiar no matter how I look at it! It's just dangling in front of my eyes, but I just can't remember who it is! Anyway, it's just one word, familiar! Designated familiar! What kind of star is it estimated to be?"
"I said you guys are boring, what are you staring at a girl!"
"Hey, look, look, yes, we don't look at her, we look at you, can it be done?"
"Hey, Li Qiao, aren't you a man? Uh, no, you're a three-eight!"
A burst of laughter.
A group of freshmen watched with a little admiration at the senior brothers and sisters talking nonsense there, and when they walked out of the school gate, they subconsciously looked over - not to mention, Zhou Yan, who was in a white shirt and black pants with sunglasses and a big straw hat, was really stylish and eye-catching enough, and a few boys couldn't pull it out at a glance.
But at this time, Li Qian glanced at it, but he couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, he hurried over to it.
Zhou Yan was lowering her head, her lips pursed slightly, staring at the few stones at her feet.
Suddenly, a pair of long legs appeared in sight.
Then, a familiar voice said, "Why did you get here?"
She froze for a moment, then looked up suddenly.
The first moment she saw that face, she quickly stood up.
Surprised, unbelievable, but still seems a little timid.
She rubbed her fingers and said embarrassedly and quietly, "I want to find you, but I don't know how to find you, so I'll come and wait for you." ”
Li Qian looked at her.
Her smile was clean, natural, and a little shy.
He asked, "How long have you been waiting?"
Zhou Yan smiled, and that slightly timid feeling surfaced on her face again, "It didn't take long." ”
After a pause, she lowered her head and said, "I...... I'm afraid I'll never find you again. ”
At this moment, Li Qian suddenly felt a little inexplicably sad.
It seemed that all of a sudden, when I opened the door, I saw the girl smoking a cigarette and waiting for her in the hallway, and I suddenly returned to the scene.
She stood silently, with a shy smile.
It's like a camellia that blooms quietly, fragrant and beautiful.
She was dressed in white, black pants and a big straw hat.
It's like a sword coming west, and it directly pierces into people's hearts.

This chapter is really tiring.
It's the end of the month, so ask for a monthly pass again!
In addition, the recommended tickets seem to be a bit small, can you give a few more no? )
