I am 19 years old, and life flies by so fast without realizing it.
Li Wei has long lost interest in birthdays, and this day happens to be the weekend. Li Wei still had to go to the Children's Palace to attend classes, but fortunately he could finish two classes in one morning. She was hungry and pushed the car out of the carport.
Just as Li Wei was about to get on the bike, the BP machine in his bag rang. Li Wei hurriedly opened the bag, took out the phone and glanced at the words "Come to my house for a party tonight, Tang."
Tang Shiyun invited her. It's been a few months since the semester started, but she hasn't been to the Tang family yet. The two of them only have the opportunity to meet and talk during class, and they don't have much interaction with each other.
Li Wei found a public phone, inserted the magnetic card, and dialed a series of numbers. After the phone rang a few times, someone answered: "I'm looking for Tang Shiyun."
After a while, Li Wei said to the phone again: "Shiyun, I'm sorry, I can't come tonight. I have something else to do tonight."
Here Tang Shiyun felt a little regretful when he heard that Li Wei was not coming, and said: "My dad asked you to come with him, and there are two directors of the Painting and Calligraphy Association. Don't you really want to meet them?"
Li Wei thought for a moment, but she still declined Tang Shiyun's request. After all, she never thought about spending her whole life writing or drawing.
"Shiyun, I'll visit my uncle another day, that's it." She hung up the phone.
She rode her bike to the entrance of a snack bar, put her bike away and went in to order a bowl of beef ramen. There is a TV in the store, and "The Condor" starring Bai Gu is playing on the TV. She was eating noodles and watching TV series. I couldn't help but think of the previous discussion in the dormitory about whether Bai Gushuai or Yimianshuai was the issue. She still prefers Bai Gu.
After filling her stomach, she rode her bike to go shopping, thinking that she had just received money today and it was just in time for her birthday. When she passed a clothing store, she went in and picked out a gray knee-length down jacket. The down jacket had a hat on the back, which was trimmed with a circle of white rabbit fur. The store gave her a camel-colored plaid wool scarf as a gift.
When trying on clothes, Li Wei felt that her hair was almost reaching her shoulders again, so she finally decided to keep her hair short. She wanted to give people a smart and neat impression, so she went to the barber shop to trim her hair again.
When she returned to the dormitory, Sun Xiaofang and Xiang Hailan were both in the dormitory. Xiang Hailan was sitting on the bed knitting a scarf. The black thread was not fast to knit. Sun Xiaofang was originally writing at the desk. When she heard Li Wei come back, she looked up at her, then looked at the handbag in Li Wei's hand and asked with a smile: "Are you buying new clothes?"
"Yes, the temperature has dropped a lot recently. I don't feel warm at all, so I bought a long down jacket."
Li Wei took out the new clothes as he spoke. He dropped the sewing work in his hand when he saw it. He came over to admire Li Wei's new clothes and praised: "This is a brand-name product. You can tell at a glance." "Look, how much did it cost?"
Li smiled and said, "Guess what."
Showing his hand to Hailan, Li Wei said: "That's about it."
Sun Xiaofang really couldn't even think about buying a piece of clothing for 500 yuan. Even Xiang Hailan said: "Li Wei, you are getting more and more comfortable these days. I said it was cold and I wanted to buy new clothes and I called home to ask for money, but they refused without saying a word."
Li Wei said: "It's safe to make money by yourself."
Li Wei cut off the tag and planned to keep it on without taking it off.
Sun Xiaofang thought to herself that Li Wei should not be short of money. She was hesitating whether to pay back the money at this time.
Xiang Hailan asked Li Wei mysteriously: "Do you have a date tonight?"
"A date?" Li Wei was startled for a moment, then remembered that he had promised Zhong Yanjun last night, and then nodded and said: "Well, that's right."
"That Zhong Yanjun really had the guts to pluck the flower of the high mountains from you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Things are not what you think." Li Wei did not tell anyone in the dormitory about his birthday. She glanced at the scarf beside Xiang Hailan's pillow and said with a smile, "Did you knit it for your boyfriend?"
Xiang Hailan didn't deny it, and smiled slightly, looking a little shy.
Li Wei packed up a few dirty clothes and went to the water room to wash them, and Sun Xiaofang sat back in her original position. She never returned the money, thinking that she would wait until the end of the term to talk about it. Li Wei must not be short of this little money. She had finally saved a little, but she hadn't even covered it yet.
It was dark before six o'clock in the winter. Li Wei had just finished drying his clothes when the phone rang. It was Xiang Hailan who answered the phone. Hearing that it was for Li Wei, he hurriedly shouted: "Li Wei, your boyfriend is looking for you. "
Li Wei walked over from the balcony, took the phone, and said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Hello."
"Weiwei, when are you going to have a boyfriend?"
It was her eldest brother's voice. Li Wei made a face to Xiang Hailan and hurriedly explained: "Brother, my roommate is joking. It's nothing. Don't make random guesses."
Li Jianping said over there: "Weiwei, when are you going to take winter vacation? Come back early this year, dad is not in good health here."
Li Wei's heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked, "Is it important?"
"He's taking medicine. The doctor wants him to stop drinking and smoking."
Li Wei touched the phone cord and said, "Well, I'll be back as soon as I have the holiday this year. I'll have the holiday around the 13th, and I should be home on the 16th."
The brother and sister hung up without saying a few words on the phone. Liu Chunzhi heard it clearly here. After Li Jianping hung up the phone, he said angrily: "You didn't even give me your phone number. She is still in school and has a boyfriend. I have to talk to her properly."
Li Jianping was naturally partial to his sister, so he hurriedly explained to his mother: "Forget it, today is her birthday, and it's not good to make her unhappy by saying this. Besides, Weiwei is too old, and you can't control her even though they are so far apart. Let her do it." Go ahead."
Liu Chunzhi muttered: "No matter what, I am still a student. The duty of a student is to study."
Not long after hanging up the phone from Li Jianping, Zhong Yanjun called.
"Come down quickly, I'll wait for you downstairs in your dormitory."
After Li Wei put down the phone, he took his bag and hurried away. After a while, Xiang Hailan was also asked to leave, and the dormitory suddenly became deserted, with only Sun Xiaofang remaining. Everyone around her had company, but she was still alone. Poor people are not qualified to fall in love. Sun Xiaofang took off her glasses and walked to the balcony.
The cold wind of the winter night hit her, and she couldn't help but sneeze. She touched her forehead with her hand, as if she had a low fever again. If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. Love will not patronize her.
Zhong Yanjun was wearing a gray coat today, and when he suddenly saw Li Wei also wearing a gray coat, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
"Let's go and have dinner together. I still have two movie tickets in my hand. The time is at eight o'clock. It's just right after dinner."
Li Wei and Zhong Yanjun walked side by side towards the west gate of the school. There was about thirty centimeters between them. Zhong Yanjun thought that it would be better if they were closer.
