Chapter 14 Thirteen

Zhiyun finished his three-month work in the Shanshang Nursing Home, and when he returned to Munich, all the classmates who left during the holidays also came back.Then school starts and everything goes back to how it was before the holidays.Zhiyun earned 2,000 marks in three months. After paying the tuition fees, there is still more than half of it left. He is very proud and plans to buy something to send to his family in Taiwan. Jinghui and Yang Wenyan came back from Sweden just one day before school started, and they became white and thin. Zhiyun was surprised when he saw it, and asked what happened?Are you sick?Jinghui explained: Nothing happened, just because there is less sun in Sweden, and their job is to pack refrigerated food in the freezer, they only see the lights, but not the sun, plus lack of sleep, and they are not used to eating. Become white and thin.Hearing Jinghui say that she and Yang Wenyan earned a total of more than 10,000 marks in three months, it aroused Zhiyun's boundless envy.

It would be great if I could earn that much, and the living expenses for most of the year would be covered.Zhiyun said. Don't worry, I'll ask Yang Wenyan to run around for you again, and grind that Swedish priest more, he can't stand the fatigue bombardment of the fat sheep, so maybe he has to figure out a way.Jinghui said optimistically. How are you getting together the money to open the restaurant?When will we be able to take down that restaurant?Zhiyun asked with concern. In the foreseeable future, at least two more visits to Sweden are required.Is it easy for you to start from scratch?I just hope that the boss won't transfer the store to others before we can pool the capital.Jinghui looked at Zhiyun as she spoke, and seeing her breezy face, said again:

Look at you, you have been working hard on the mountain for three months, and you look even better.Hello!Yu Zhiyun, let me ask you, you are so good with Jiang Xiaofeng, do you know that he will go back to China after the presentation of his work is over? That was in the past. He had already decided not to go back for the time being. He stayed to study for a Ph.D.When Zhiyun spoke, he showed an unconscious smile. That's right!It's really a hero who is sad to be a beauty. Professor Haier refused to ask him to study for a degree, but he would if you asked him to study.Now that's all right, since he stays, your business is settled!

What's the matter with us?what?Zhiyun pretended not to know. what?You understand in your heart, didn't you tell me before that since you came out, you don't plan to go back?If you really don't plan to go back, you shouldn't talk to Jiang Xiaofeng.So I have always discouraged you from getting along with him. I think He Shaoxiang is the most suitable for you!Well now, since you have become like this, and he has changed his mind and is willing to stay, then there is no problem, and I don't need to worry about it. Zhiyun only listened, but did not explain to Jinghui: Jiang Xiaofeng's stay to pursue a doctorate does not mean he will stay abroad forever.And Jinghui's words gave her new inspiration. She remembered Jiang Xiaofeng once said that if he had a doctorate, Professor Haier could try to make him stay and teach.She thought: If Jiang Xiaofeng really had the chance to stay, maybe he would not be so enthusiastic about returning to China.How much she hoped that he could face reality and change his mind.When he was on the mountain, because he was too lonely, homesick, and Jiang Xiaofeng, he proposed to go back, but she hesitated and agreed.But ever since she left the mountain, she has been disturbed by this promise. She loves Jiang Xiaofeng, but she is not reconciled to going back to the country with him.She can't tell why?It has been less than ten months since I went abroad, and I miss my family all the time, but every time I think about going back in the future, I feel that it is almost too difficult to do.

Zhiyun and Jiang Xiaofeng often ate lunch together in the student cafeteria, and sometimes read books together in the library in the afternoon, and when they came out of the library, they went for a walk in the English park as usual.Autumn was deep, and there were fallen leaves everywhere in the park. The two of them were ingenious and came up with some romantic sentiments. While walking, they deliberately stepped on the dry leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound, insisting that it was natural music.On weekend nights, Jiang Xiaofeng always queues up early to buy standing tickets, not watching operas but going to concerts.They couldn't afford the tickets to sit and watch. The two of them cuddled together and stood from beginning to end. After the show ended, their legs had become wooden pillars that did not obey orders.Even so, they also feel very happy and fulfilled, as if they have everything in the world.Of course, Jiang Xiaofeng still kept thinking about his ambition to promote our song, and Zhiyun didn't have serious debates with him like before.It turned out that she had other ideas in her mind, she thought: You can say whatever you want now, I just hope you will have other ideas after you get your degree.

The two love each other, their wills are united, and the days are bright and beautiful. Yu Zhiyun and Jiang Xiaofeng are already a couple recognized by everyone. Those who don't know this relationship between them are only reading books, doing experiments, writing reports, and so on. He Shaoxiang, who wrote a thesis, locked himself in the academic tower, and was never well-informed. On Sunday morning, the most important thing for Zhiyun was to wash her hair. She had just dried her hair that day. Inge was helping her look in the mirror and take off the curls together. Miss Smith called downstairs:

Helanna, someone is looking downstairs. knew.Zhiyun said loudly to the downstairs.She looked at her watch, it was only a quarter past nine, and she said to Yingge: Strange, Dajiang arrived early today, we made an appointment for him to come to me at half past nine. Early men are cuter than late ones.Come down quickly!Inge combed Zhiyun's long curly hair with a big comb.Helena, your hair is so beautiful, so dark, soft and shiny. If you grow your hair long, it's not as good as mine.Zhiyun said to Yingge in the mirror. I can't, I don't have time for hair.I was in such a hurry all day that I hardly had time to dress myself up.Inge said with a calm smile.

Inge, why don't you have a boyfriend?The teaching assistant in your medical school who often comes to you is not very handsome, why do you ignore him? I'm not in the mood to have a boyfriend right now because my fiancé is still alive in my heart. You were engaged?Where is your fiance?Zhiyun looked back at Yingge in surprise. died.He was a soldier, wounded and killed by stray shrapnel.Inge said calmly.After combing Zhiyun's hair, he put the comb on the table. When did this happen? It was the time of the Six Day War. How come you never hear about him?Zhiyun is already dressed, she is wearing a miniskirt today, showing two slender legs.

What's the use of saying it?I remember him enough. Inge, are you still sad? certainly.I'm sad that it wasn't his death alone, but that it could happen to all of us in Israel.Inge had sat down at her desk, took out a pen and paper, and was about to write a letter.She smiled lightly and said: Hailana, a delicate and sensitive girl like you may say that I am hard-hearted.You know, I only cried once after he died.It's not because I'm hard-hearted, or because I don't love him.Now that he is dead, I have decided not to marry in this life.I don't have tears because I can't cry casually.We, Israel, are a nation full of troubles and disasters. If we want to cry, everyone has enough reasons to cry blindly.To put it plainly, as an Israeli, we should not attach so much importance to each person's emotional gains and losses.

Zhiyun was fully dressed, wearing a deerskin short jacket made of the same material as the skirt, and carrying a very playful small leather bag on her shoulder. Inge, you are amazing.She was about to open the door and go out when she turned around and asked: They all said that the hospital wants to keep you as a resident doctor, will you stay? I don't know yet, probably not staying.All Israel is under threat of war, and I am alone in a safe place, restless.Inger said. oh!You think so!Zhiyun was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: Yingge, I'm going out, Dajiang is waiting for me below.

Go ahead!Helena. Zhiyun hurried downstairs, looked at his watch, and found that it was only half past nine in eight minutes.Before she entered the reception room, she smiled and said: Why did you arrive early today? Zhiyun stopped talking halfway, because it was not Jiang Xiaofeng who was waiting for her in the reception room, but He Shaoxiang. As usual, He Shaoxiang's clothes were fresh and clean, with a sharp iron gray suit, a bright red tie, and shiny leather shoes on his feet.What was slightly different from usual was that the clean-shaven face was darker than before. He Shaoxiang held a large handful of pink roses in his hand like every time. It's been a long time since I saw Ms. Yu, so I'll take a special look today.I called during the vacation, and Miss Smith said that Miss Yu had gone to the mountains for vacation.He Shaoxiang smiled shyly and handed the flowers to Zhiyun. Yes, I went to the mountains for three months.Zhiyun had no choice but to take the flowers. oh?Been there for so long?You must be well rested, right?He Shaoxiang looked at her. Well rested.Zhiyun said perfunctorily.I was a little dumbfounded, but I didn't want to tell him that I went up the mountain to go to work, not to go on vacation.Has Mr. He gone on vacation too?She asked casually. I just got back from vacation yesterday morning.This time I went to the Greek island of Creta.Afraid that Zhiyun would not know this place, he hurriedly explained: Creta is the birthplace of Greek culture. Zhiyun nodded and said: I know this, I learned it when I studied history. oh!Yes Yes.He Shaoxiang pushed the glasses frame and touched his bare forehead.I just went there to bathe in the sea, eat seafood, and sleep on a deck chair by the sea every day for twelve days, plus flying back and forth, a total of fourteen days.It’s impossible not to rest like this. If you have to rest your mind completely, the efficiency of your work will be doubled. Must be fun there, right?Zhiyun couldn't hide his envious tone.He Shaoxiang enjoys that kind of vacation, and he goes up the mountain to do hard work, to give orders to those old men and women who are old and confused, like a girl. It's fun, it's fun, it's a completely different mood, and Ms. Yu should go to play in the future. yes!Must go to play.Zhiyun said perfunctorily, thinking how to send him away. He Shaoxiang noticed Zhiyun's outfit early on, so he said with a smile: Is Miss Yu going out?I was just about to invite Miss Yu to the Austrian border to have fun!There is a gypsy restaurant there, the atmosphere is very good, and the gypsies who sell singing sing when they eat. That must be interesting, but I don't have time to go today.She smiled apologetically. Uh, the extreme disappointment frustrates He Shaoxiang's words. He pondered for a long time before saying: Then next Sunday! Not next Sunday either.Zhiyun said in a somewhat embarrassed tone.She didn't want to hurt him, and she didn't know how to let him know her relationship with Jiang Xiaofeng. Just as she was thinking about what words to use to make him understand all this, He Shaoxiang said again: Every time I invite Ms. Yu out to play, Ms. Yu always pushes something.Is Ms. Yu afraid of other people's gossip?In fact, the society in Europe is different from the society in China. Here men and women socialize very openly. It is very common to go out and have fun together. I am a very strict person. Can't Ms. Yu see it?Foreign girls are not as cautious as Chinese girls. If they want to go, they will readily agree.He Shaoxiang said awkwardly.His face was red, obviously it took a lot of courage to say these words. Zhiyun couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it, her dark eyes were full of astonishment, and she was about to ask him back: If they don't want to go, do they agree readily?Before he could speak, he saw Jiang Xiaofeng standing outside the door.He was wearing a black turtleneck sweater, with a lock of hair waving in front of his forehead, and there was no music in his eyes, only a bit of sour jealousy.He Shaoxiang stared at him blankly, a little embarrassed at first, but relieved almost immediately.He thought: Yu Zhiyun can't be hired for a character like me!He is a music player, so he can't talk about everything, isn't it because the toad wants to eat swan meat, just to make fun of himself?But before he could finish thinking, he heard Zhiyun sweetly say: Da Jiang, you are here, Mr. He is here! Well!Dr. Ho.Jiang Xiaofeng stretched out his hand nonchalantly. Who is this? ｜He Shaoxiang only knows that Jiang Xiaofeng is a musician, and his surname seems to be Jiang, but he doesn't know his name. My name is Jiang Xiaofeng. He Shaoxiang reluctantly shook hands with him, then turned to Zhiyun and said, "Miss Yu, I'm leaving, I'm sorry.He left in a hurry. Zhiyun looked at He Shaoxiang's back and let out a long sigh. how?Empathy strikes, doesn't it?Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Zhiyun teasingly. I don't like hurting people.He Shaoxiang is an honest bookworm, so he doesn't want to hurt him.Zhiyun said.The original good interest has been reduced by at least half. If you don't want to hurt him, go play with him!Jiang Xiao was sour. what's the matter with youZhiyun was really anxious. Don't lose, put down the flowers in your hand, let's go!Jiang Xiaofeng said with a smile. Zhiyun walked out of the reception room, leaned on the railing of the stairs and called out in a long voice: Inge Following the sound, Yingge came down with a pair of slippers on his feet, took the flowers from Zhiyun's hand, held them to his nose and smelled them, and exclaimed: "It smells so good!"Then he said to Jiang Xiaofeng: Da Jiang, you also learned how to send flowers! This flower is not from me.Jiang Xiaofeng brushed back the lock of hair on his forehead, and smiled awkwardly. Not from you?So watch out for your Helanna being snatched away!Inge went upstairs, talking and laughing. Walking out of the dormitory door, Jiang Xiaofeng took Zhiyun's hand.Now when they walk together, they always hold hands.Zhiyun wasn't used to it at first, Jiang Xiaofeng said: We don't need to hide it from others, and holding hands is not something shameful.Zhiyun followed him.After a long time, she also got used to it, and felt that the two of them walked hand in hand like kindergarten children, and even their steps would be lighter. The autumn was crisp and the sun was shining brightly. Zhiyun and Jiang Xiaofeng walked while talking, but they didn't notice that He Shaoxiang was staring at them with sad eyes in a car parked inside the red light line. From a distance, He Shaoxiang saw Zhiyun's two slender and well-proportioned legs, the fashionable thick-soled leather shoes on his feet, his slender body wrapped in a short deerskin suit, and his long hair fluttering in the wind. A face smiling like a blooming flower, dancing with youth all over her body, what an attractive girl!He praised her from the bottom of his heart, but when he saw how close she was to Jiang Xiaofeng, his good impression of her was halved.He had imagined several times that if one day he went out to a meeting with a lady like Yu Zhiyun, it would be very glorious.If she put on those evening dresses and mink fur shawls that noble ladies often wear, and stood out at international banquets, she would be so luxurious and amazing.He really couldn't figure it out, in terms of knowledge, fame, career, status and money, how could he not be better than Jiang Xiaofeng?In his eyes, Jiang Xiaofeng belonged to the most helpless kind of person.A musician who is also Chinese, in Europe with such a high level of music, what opportunities might there be?Isn't it a dead end?But Yu Zhiyun is so good with Jiang Xiaofeng, walking down the street hand in hand, he would reject him!What is the reason? He Shaoxiang watched them cross the road from a distance, and saw that Jiang Xiaofeng seemed to be holding Zhiyun's waist with his hands when they were walking in the middle of the road.His heart sank in sorrow, the eyeballs behind the glasses were sour, and a stream of hot water seemed to be gushing out.All of a sudden, he felt that the achievements and careers he was proud of over the years had all become meaningless things. He touched his bare forehead and wondered if he was old He Shaoxiang was so distracted that he didn't even see the green light.It wasn't until the people in the car behind him honked desperately that he was startled, woke up, stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car rushed out, almost bumping into the oncoming car, the bearded driver, with a finger Doomedly referring to his own head, this is a heavy curse in German, which means: There is a stupid bird messing around in the brain, so that the mind is not clear? He Shaoxiang is most proud of the wisdom in his head, and he can't bear anyone who thinks his brain is not top-notch. Naturally, he is very annoyed to be insulted like this.But the bearded man drove away after scolding the man.From the looks of it, even if he didn't drive away, he didn't seem like someone to be provoked, not to mention it was his own fault.Nothing to say, anyway, all the bad luck came together today. He Shaoxiang regained his composure, cursing in his heart that he had no bones.What is a Yu Zhiyun?He was determined to forget her, and he would not be surprised if he fell in love with Jiang Xiaofeng's girl.He wants to rush to the laboratory immediately to continue the endless experiment, and when the result comes out, it will be a good material for a paper.He wants to write more and more valuable papers, strive for greater honors, and make that Yu Zhiyun regret her lack of vision one day. Even though He Shaoxiang thought so arrogantly, he still couldn't completely obey the command emotionally.He drove forward facing the sun, as if he was walking into the vast space, feeling empty without seeing the world or the ground.And the panic in his head prevented him from noticing the passing vehicles.After driving for a while, he thought he would have a car accident if he went any further, so he turned to a secluded street and stopped.He took out a handkerchief that had been ironed and washed to a smooth and white color from his trousers pocket, first wiped off the sweat on his face, then took off his glasses to wipe his fill, and finally wiped his hands. He quickly turned on the radio, switched to several radio stations, and played either pop songs or operas. In fact, he can still listen to these two kinds of music, but today he didn’t like listening to them, so he turned off the radio and got out of the car to go for a walk. After a while, it calmed down a bit.But he didn't want to go to the laboratory anymore, he just wanted to go back quickly and sleep on it.
