Chapter 315 On the run
winter.
This is not a suitable time for rutting.
Above the city, there are a few wisps of light blue smoke curling up, which always reminds people of a warm cave in the distance, which makes people yearn for it.
High school life is always uneventful, but students can always find something to comfort their souls during the boring days, such as playing basketball, playing games, and shooting airplanes...
No one knows when it started, but the gaming trio consisting of Wang Xiaokai, Yang Wei and Tian Zhuangzhuang disbanded quietly. Wang Xiaokai is now completely focused on Yu Qingqing. He spends the whole day hanging out with Yu Qingqing's group of girls, but his life is not going well. No one knows what Yang Wei is doing recently. He is listless, yawning all day long, and taking a nap on the desk whenever he has free time. The developmentally retarded Tian Zhuangzhuang finally had an epiphany at the end of the first semester of senior year, and put all his energy into studying hard.
In this restless youth when independent consciousness begins to awaken, it seems that everyone has his or her own troubles, but is too ashamed to speak up and no one is willing to share them with.
Zhang Yunqi also shared his troubles.
During a physical education class that day, everyone was out having fun. Zhang Yunqi found a free moment and approached Chu Mei and said casually, "Well, do you have nothing to do tomorrow, Saturday?"
Chu Jian put away his pen and tilted his head: "It's okay, what's wrong?"
Zhang Yunqi said: "Shall we go shopping and watch a movie tomorrow?"
Chu Jian was stunned: "Why?"
This question left Zhang Yunqi speechless for a long time.
Isn't it normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to go shopping and watch movies on the weekend?
Does this need a reason?
Of course, he also knew that it was not Chu Jian's fault. This girl had no concept of love in her mind, so the way they got along was very strange and stiff. He had never taken Chu Jian shopping or watching movies or anything like that. Anyway, they had never done anything that a couple should do. She was nothing like Wang Xiaokai, the little fool, who had only a few coins in his pocket but would go out and have fun with Yu Qingqing whenever he had time.
Zhang Yunqi thought about it and felt bad: "No reason, I just want to go shopping, but it's not right for a grown man like me to go shopping, you have to accompany me."
Chu Jian smiled and said, "You're still a scoundrel?"
The next day, Saturday, the wind was a little cold.
Ji Ling went to the provincial capital, Lijin City, on Friday. Zhang Yunqi stayed at Chu Jian's house for the whole afternoon. Chu Jian's mother worked in a fish meal shop. Zhang Yunqi spent ten yuan to get Xiao Xiao and asked her to take Chu Jian's sister Chu Xin to the fish meal shop to play. So he created a world for the two of them as he wished. After lunch, he stayed in Chu Jian's bedroom.
Of course, he couldn't do anything. He was a little nervous when he first met Zhang Yunqi. He didn't pay much attention to Zhang Yunqi and just sat at the desk reading.
Zhang Yunqi sat on the bedside. The quilt that had been exposed to the sun had a familiar smell. He was bored and flipped through Walden, which he had read countless times. Finally, he couldn't help it and walked to Chu Jian. He reached out and held Chu Jian's hand, leaned over and said shamelessly: "I feel a little sleepy after dinner. I want to take a nap."
Chu Jian's face turned red: "Then go home and sleep."
Zhang Yunqi scratched his head: "It's too troublesome to walk back."
"Then what do you want?"
"Sleep here."
"not good."
"It's cold outside, you come in too." Zhang Yunqi smiled. He suddenly reached out and hugged Chu Jian who was caught off guard. He hugged her soft and slender body and crawled into the quilt, pressing down on her and kissing her.
"No." Chu Jian's body was tense, and his hands that were blocking Zhang Yunqi's face were shaking: "Be good and go to sleep."
"Okay." Zhang Yunqi felt that he couldn't push his feet any further and scare her, so he moved aside. Chu Jian immediately sat up, took the book and went out. He blushed and said, "Yunqi, we are still young. I don't like this. You can sleep here by yourself."
Zhang Yunqi fell headfirst onto the bed.
I want to cry without tears.
He also felt that he was a little disrespectful to her. He stood up and followed her out. Chu Jian was washing dishes in the kitchen. He walked over and rinsed the washed dishes in the sink next to him with hot water, but did not say anything or explain, because Chu Jian was not angry. Chu Jian felt that he did not respect her. In this situation, it was impossible to make her happy with just a few sweet words.
Neither of them said anything, and the atmosphere seemed a little silent. After all these years of getting along, this was the first time that this happened. Chu Jian lowered his head and said, "Why aren't you talking? Are you angry?"
Zhang Yunqi said: "No, I just don't want to explain. It's true that I was impulsive. There's no point in saying anything. Let's see what happens next."
"The clouds are rising."
"Ok?"
"Are you feeling particularly tired being with me?" Chu Jian looked sideways at him, her little face still seeming a little nervous.
Zhang Yunqi laughed: "Your idea is very dangerous. You don't want to leave me, do you? You are overthinking. I will rely on you for the rest of my life."
"No." Chu Jian also smiled, blushing. After a while, she said softly, "After washing the dishes, you go to my bed to take a nap while I read a book, okay?"
Zhang Yunqi nodded and agreed.
There were only a few bowls, and the two of them finished it in no time.
Zhang Yunqi went to Chu Jian's bedroom to sleep again. This time, he lay in the quilt that smelled of Chu Jian. He was very obedient. Chu Jian was sitting at the desk reading a book. It was an afternoon in the dead of winter and time was quiet. Sometimes, she would turn her head to look at Zhang Yunqi, and see that Zhang Yunqi was also looking at her, then she would smile and feel warm in her heart.
As evening approached, the two went out to Ximen Street.
At that time, the setting sun was already hanging in the sky, but there were many people on the cold streets. Zhang Yunqi took Chu Jian to eat hot pot, and around seven o'clock, they went to the cinema. Zhang Yunqi bought two tickets, a bucket of popcorn and two glasses of juice, and entered the theater one after another.
The movie is "The Fugitive".
This is the first Hollywood blockbuster to be introduced to China, directed by Andrew Davis and starring Harrison Ford. The plot is a bit like "The Shawshank Redemption", but it is more popcorn-filled.
When Zhang Yunqi watched this movie for the first time in his previous life, he was deeply impressed by a scene in which a train hit a truck. At that time, he was still a genuine country boy and had never felt such a strong visual impact. He just thought that the Americans were really fucking awesome.
His family was poor back then, and he chose to go to a technical secondary school in order to get a government job as soon as possible. If he had chosen high school, with his enthusiasm for studying, he would have gone to Tsinghua University and Peking University, the two talent processing bases set up by the Americans in China, and went to work in Silicon Valley after graduation, contributing to the American devils' scientific and technological cause with a pilgrimage mentality.
Zhang Yunqi still remembers that when "The Fugitive" was first introduced to China at the end of 94, "Voice of America" made a special program for this movie, introducing the film and analyzing the significance of China's introduction of Hollywood blockbusters. They were probably cheering for the achievements of the 90s generation of young people who were born under the red flag and grew up in New China in a peaceful transformation.
From the perspective of future generations, this is of course a pipe dream. China is not the Soviet Big Brother. The Chinese nation is the only oldest nation in the world that has survived on values rather than blood or religion. The traditional values that have continued for thousands of years are inclusive. Our ancestors were tolerant of the integration, innovation, and development of foreign cultures and customs. For thousands of years, the Chinese have always been ashamed of the invasion and humiliation they have suffered, but have never been ashamed of "learning from the barbarians to control them." Any attempt to "westernize" China and make it a vassal of Europe and the United States will be swallowed up by the vast ocean of Chinese civilization.
Now that Zhang Yunqi is revisiting this movie, he also feels that there is a very ridiculous logic in it, because this movie tells the story of how the capitalists of a large pharmaceutical factory in the United States used illegal means such as tampering with medical reports in order to get a failed new drug to pass review, but the protagonist refused to cooperate and thus became the target of their assassination.
It can be seen that the internal logic of this film is to criticize capitalism on the other side of the ocean. The reason why it can be introduced to China is probably to let the Chinese people see the ugly face of capitalist countries. Everything is linked to capital, and the upper class is willing to sacrifice the lives of others in order to make more money.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yunqi lost interest in watching. In the following time, he was bored and observed Chu Jian closely beside him. She had a fair neck, a slender face full of vitality, the tip of her nose was a little mischievously raised, and her eyelashes were neat and focused, she looked like a good girl.
Zhang Yunqi couldn't help but ask, "Does it look good?"
Chu Jian, who was absorbed in watching the movie, was stunned and whispered, "It's great. I've never seen a movie like this. What do you think?"
Zhang Yunqi nodded and said, "It looks good."
When I first saw him, I thought he had a different opinion, so I smiled and asked, "What do you think is beautiful?"
Zhang Yunqi grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth: "I didn't think the movie was good, I meant you were good-looking."
