Chapter Seventy-Seven: Love
June 12, 1978, 8 a.m. With-Dream- . lā .
In the "Qifenglou Hutong" near Dongdan North Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing, there is a small courtyard with a single family.
Although it looks inconspicuous from the outside, the layout of the courtyard is also very small, with only three north rooms and two east wings. But to be honest, this small courtyard is really extraordinary.
First of all, in the courtyard, the flowers and trees are particularly vigorous.
Since it is in bloom, except for the two "Taiping flowers" that bloom like waterfalls in the corners, another vine is planted under the eaves and in front of the windows.
The gaudy and enchanting big trumpet flower with gold rim also hangs everywhere like wind chimes. When the cool morning breeze blows, the small courtyard is full of fragrance.
In particular, the main color of the two flowers is white, which gives people the feeling of nobility and gorgeousness, and a bit detached from the world, mysterious and romantic.
It's the same indoors, it's unusual.
The hall in the north room is a small reception room. There are complete sets of Western classical sofas, soft cushions embroidered by Suzhou, and ground paved with diamond-shaped floor tiles, which are exquisite, relaxed and lively.
It is divided into three spaces according to function, and one is a dining table for eating. A sofa coffee table is used to entertain guests, and a corner is a wine cabinet and an old-fashioned gramophone, as well as a rocking chair, which is undoubtedly the daily pastime of the host.
The most eye-catching thing in the living room is the beautiful ornaments scattered all over the place. Bronze lamps, enamel ashtrays, stained glass saucers and silver candlesticks, to name a few.
Especially on the coffee table, there is a yellow gladiolus, inserted in a crystal vase, the bottle is tall and thin, and the flowers are elegant. Just such a flower fills the room with a soft and beautiful atmosphere.
In short, if most people's imagination of wealth and abundance is antique, then here is the opposite, completely foreign.
It's just that everything seems to have stayed before liberation, a mirror representation of the remnants of the old days.
The east and west rooms that are connected to the living room are both bedrooms.
When you get here, it's completely different, and it's the opposite of the colorful living room, all white walls, white furniture, and white curtains. If it weren't for the color of the bedding on the bed, it would be a little scary.
At this moment, there was a figure sitting in front of the wide, ivory-white dresser, staring at himself in the mirror, slightly shyly glancing.
That face, which was already very beautiful, was even more vivid because of excitement, and even more gorgeous because of vividness. Even the eyes were shining.
She is the "sugar heart".
If "Aunt Bao" was present, she would definitely find that "Sugar Heart" was really abnormal at this time. And with the experience of people who have come before, she can probably see that this girl is probably about to fall in love.
In fact, last night, after "Sugar Heart" left "Old Moer" with Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, they did not go home directly.
Because Hong Yanwu soon had a new idea, he took the two of them directly to the observatory of the National Planetarium opposite the "Beijing Exhibition" to continue their dinner.
I can't help but say that Hong Yanwu does have a wonderful idea.
Although the National Planetarium was reopened in 1976, the observatory had not yet been built to its current closed state. There are only 20 staff members, and no one cares at night at all.
On the wide stargazing terrace, you can light a few candles on the candlestick in the foyer of "Old Moer", look up at the moonlight, listen to the sound of insects, and taste delicious food and wine. It is both cool and comfortable, and there is an indescribable unique taste, which is really refreshing.
At the same time, I have to say that Hong Yanwu does have goods in his stomach.
Fifty years of life experience has turned his belly into a grocery store, with jokes, anecdotes, allusions, and stories endlessly, and the atmosphere is not dull at all. So several people were very happy, chatting while eating, and full of interest.
The most important thing is that when he drank just right, Hong Yanwu also sang a few Teresa Teng songs with great interest.
Although he can't have a good voice, but fortunately, he has a thick skin and plays extraordinarily, so he doesn't go out of tune much. Basically, "Sweet Honey", "On the Water Side", "See the Smoke Again" and "The Moon Represents My Heart" can be sung in place.
As a result, this hand is precisely the most attractive killer for girls, and "Sugar Heart" has to learn to sing with Hong Yanwu sentence by sentence.
In this way, they taught one by one, and the song was learned, and there were two duets between men and women. But Moutai and red wine were all drunk.
In the end, "Sugar Heart" was tired of singing, and I don't know when, I fell asleep on Hong Yanwu's shoulder.
When she woke up, she realized that it was almost five o'clock in the morning. And not only is his body covered with Hong Yanwu's shirt, but the pillow under his head is also Hong Yanwu's legs.
With a little bright morning light, she found that Hong Yanwu was actually awake, and she felt that her face was burning badly.
And the most embarrassing thing is that after Hong Yanwu found out that she woke up, he actually smiled and said to her, "Don't worry, you don't drool......"
At the age of twenty-one, for the first time in her life, she was so well cared for by a man, but she unexpectedly exposed her own side. Where can her face not be red?
In her eagerness, she really hated itchy, and involuntarily pinched Hong Yanwu.
"Don't laugh, don't laugh at me......"
How did he know that Hong Yanwu was not afraid at all, but he couldn't stop laughing more and more. Then he hugged her......
The scene at that time, until now I think about it, "Sugar Heart" feels depressed and speechless.
Shame, shame!
But why do I feel sweet in retrospect? There is still a little sourness, a little astringency, a little panic, a little nervousness, a little expectation......
Is this what it is......
"Sugar Heart" finally covered her face shyly.
But it wasn't supposed to be like this. Shouldn't a good man in her mind be handsome and chic, full of articles, ambitious, and heroic? Just like Feng in the movie.
Then how could she treat a cynical, non-orthodox bad boy who lost his mind in the blink of an eyeball, and was fascinated by a hippie smile all day long......
No, it's not right.
"Sugar Heart" suddenly moved in his heart again.
To say that Hong Yanwu is completely like this, that is not true.
At least on the night he rescued her and sent her back, he seemed very manly, very magnanimous, and very righteous. And it was the same last night, he won the bet, and he didn't take the opportunity to do anything to her, which seemed to be very trustworthy.
In addition, he seems to have read a lot of books and knows a lot of things. Books like philosophy, history, literature, and art can make it much more interesting to him.
The method of making money is also very clever, and he has a unique view of the world's lovers. It seems that there is nothing difficult in his eyes.
In the final analysis, it is his lively and uninhibited personality that is actually quite interesting, especially when he takes care of people, he is even more thoughtful, and brings a lot of fun to her life that has never been seen before.
She hadn't even thought of it! Aren't these still excellent?
And...... Could it be that he's hiding something more? It's just that his true nature is just beginning to emerge?
Strange! This person is so strange that she can't create a complete image at all.
Could it be that one day, I will really ...... to him
No! Not only him, but no one!
A negative voice sounded, and "Sugar Heart" was startled, and suddenly raised her head to look at a black and white photo hanging above the dresser.
It was a woman who was free and capricious, beautiful as a flower. The expression is calm, quite conceited and arrogant.
seemed to be saying to her, "Silly girl, you've grown so big, why don't you understand people's feelings?"
yes, how did you forget?
"Sister Dog" told her more than once that men use love, and women use heart. No matter how good a man is, it is also a consumption for a woman
No man's feelings are always hot and can guarantee that they will not be cold in the future. The better the man, the less likely he is to join hands with a woman.
A wise woman can never be sincere to a man, and should only use love as a weapon and tool. Otherwise, there will be no good results!
Could it be that Master's words would still be wrong?
In the traditional concept of Chinese. There are roughly only two forms of love stories
One is a childhood sweetheart, and the two have no guesses. Then there is love at first sight, and the alliance is made. The measure of quality is generally the sea dry and the stone is rotten, and this heart remains the same.
However, in real life, the word "love" often does not follow a certain ideal trajectory as scheduled. Its form and connotation are not so absolute.
And often because of a lot of trivial and complicated things, it seems to be unclear and difficult to be elegant.
Because life is, after all, more real than the poetry in the book. Especially in that special era, the word "love" seems to have been completely forgotten.
It is even impossible for many young people to know these two words and the ideals and practical meanings they contain from "normal" channels.
They have no standard to measure, no model to refer to, no restraint and no romance, and their spontaneous feelings are like a clear, pure and delicate spring water that flows out like a crack in a rock crevice, completely unaware of the miserable wind and rain, bumpy and bumpy, clear and turbid, or blooming flowers of the future, and they do not know where they will go and where they should go.
Especially like "Sugar Heart", a girl who has always protected herself tightly and is used to rejecting people thousands of miles away. This emotional experience is due to pure ignorance and a certain extreme influence from the person I admire the most.
Then it makes her instinctively and dazedly desire, and then instinctively and dazedly deduces or rejects.
As long as one is not careful, he will completely fall into the confused emotional world.
This is really a kind of sadness for her to be on the precipice and not know it......
