Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

evening--

Yang Liu changed into a red coat, tied her long hair with a green silk scarf and let it hang behind her, and held a long square paper bag in her hand.

"You are Comrade Lao He, right?" Yang Liu stood directly in front of the dormitory manager's window, looked at Lao He playfully and said, "I want to look for Li Muhua."

"Who are you?" Lao He stood up hesitantly. He had never seen Yang Liu.

Seeing that he was on guard against her, Yang Liu burst out laughing and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to seek revenge on him!"

"It's fine if he's seeking revenge, but I'd be worried if he wasn't." Dormitory manager Lao He looked at Yang Liu and muttered, "Wait, I'll go call him right away."

After saying that, Lao He left the dormitory management office and ran towards the dormitory building.

Yang Liu saw that many people passing by would look at her, so she lowered her head to confirm that there was nothing wrong, then retreated to the door of the dormitory, paced back and forth hesitantly, looking in the direction where Lao He had gone from time to time.

When Li Muhua heard Lao He say that there was a girl he had never seen before looking for him at the door, he already had some guesses in his mind.

Seeing that Lao He was full of jokes and gossip, Li Muhua smiled and said, "She is an old classmate I haven't seen for a long time. She came to our school to study mechanical engineering as a graduate student. You will see her often in the future."

"Graduate student, this isn't the right time to do this, is it?" Old He muttered to himself as he pondered.

"Who knows? Maybe her unit is special, or she has made some special contributions!" said Li Muhua.

He wasn't too sure. He thought Yang Liu might not receive the letter, so he didn't reply.

Lao He nodded, this kind of thing is not uncommon nowadays.

"Okay, then she must be your old lover. You even mentioned my name to her!"

Lao He teased Li Muhua, but Li Muhua said seriously: "It wasn't me who said that, it should be Dong Shuwan who said that."

Seeing that Lao He still didn't believe it, Li Muhua said, "Apart from the female comrades in our school, I only have one old lover, and she is in the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

"You won't see her if you don't go to the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine!"

After hearing this, Lao He said nonchalantly: "I know, your ex-wife!"

"I really want to meet her and see who can make you so fascinated that you want to get married." Lao He joked, then said more seriously: "And this girl Dong Shuwan, I really don't know what she is thinking!"

Old He shook his head helplessly, looking puzzled and regretful.

Li Muhua knew what he meant and didn't respond.

I was just secretly wondering what Yang Liu and Dong Shuwan had said, and whether they had revealed her true identity.

The two of them walked all the way to the dormitory door. Looking at the woman in red, Li Muhua found it difficult to open his mouth.

He firmly chose Zhou Ru at the beginning, and the scene of her shedding tears by the pond is still vivid in his mind.

Yang Liu looked at Li Muhua and couldn't help but curl her lips at his fair and neat appearance.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is how I imagined you to be. You shouldn't be like you were in the countryside, slovenly and digging the ground with a hoe all day long!"

Seeing her bring up this topic, Li Muhua continued: "There was nothing I could do at the beginning. I am still a person who likes to enjoy pleasure and be clean!"

"I know that. You disliked me a lot when we were in elementary school!" After saying this to Li Muhua, Yang Liu glanced at Lao He who was peeking out of the dormitory management office.

"Let's go out and talk about it. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll reveal something big and affect our reputation as the most romantic playboy in Hua University!"

Li Muhua also glanced at Lao He who was eavesdropping, and simply nodded in agreement, and the two of them walked towards the west playground.

"I still remember my blessing to you back then - may your twins blossom, your offspring continue to grow old together!"

Yang Liu smiled and said, "Nowadays, the peacock flies southeast, and there are no descendants and no white hair. It seems that you and Zhou Ru didn't listen to my blessing!"

"It's normal for people to come together and separate, but it's abnormal for you to come all the way from Greentown to laugh at me!" Li Muhua said unhappily.

Yang Liu shook her head and said, "I'm not here to laugh at you. First of all, I want to thank you - your two previous letters were very helpful to me!"

"Two letters?" Li Muhua asked in confusion.

Yang Liu nodded and said, "The letter that Shu Wan sent in 75 contained information about South Vietnam. I can tell that you asked Shu Wan to write it."

"Oh!" Li Muhua smiled and nodded, "It's just a small matter. We often talk about this in school. I don't deserve your thanks!"

Yang Liu shook her head and said, "My family's situation is different. Anyway, this matter is worth it for me to come and thank you in person!"

Li Muhua nodded without arguing.

Seeing Li Muhua nod, Yang Liu spoke again.

"The second reason is that I really want to come here for further studies. I learned too little during those three years as a worker-peasant-soldier in college. I hope to enter the highest institution of learning and return to our unit to make greater contributions!"

"What's your unit?" Li Muhua couldn't help but ask.

Yang Liu shook her head and said, "Keep it a secret, I can't tell you!"

Seeing that she was keeping it a secret, Li Muhua couldn't help but chuckle and said, "As long as you're not a female traitor from South Vietnam, it's fine. I suddenly thought of this when I sent the letter last year. But there's no such thing as winning without fighting. It seems I was overthinking it!"

Seeing that Li Muhua said that she was a female traitor from South Vietnam, Yang Liu was not angry. She was stunned for a moment and then spoke slowly.

"Do you know why I was called Liu Xu when I was a child?"

Only now did she realize that Li Muhua seemed to know nothing about her.

When Yang Liu asked about this, Li Muhua shook his head, but still said, "Your birthday is probably in April or May!"

Yang Liu nodded and said, "You are right, my birthday is indeed on April 4, when willow catkins are flying and people hate me the most."

Yang Liu fell into memories, with some pain in her eyes.

"I was born on April 1953, 4. My mother died during childbirth. My mother's surname is Liu. My family thought I was unlucky, so they nicknamed me Liu Xu."

"My father was fighting in Goryeo at that time. He only came back to China in 56 to see me. After that, he went to Green City to guard the border, the southernmost part on the map."

"During the Spring Festival of 66, he suddenly came back and said that I was 13 years old and could live independently, so he took me to live with him in the military camp in Green City. I took his last name Yang, and with my mother's last name, it became Yang Liu!"

Yang Liu looked at Li Muhua and said with a strong smile: "When you first heard my name, you must have laughed at me for saying it was not nice, right?"

"Have you ever given me a nickname behind my back?"

Seeing Yang Liu looking at him, Li Muhua said honestly: "I guessed the meaning of your name. Although it doesn't sound good, it also expresses the love of parents. I will naturally not give you a random nickname!"

Yang Liu sighed inwardly, then said softly, "So I'm not a Vietnamese female traitor, but a military dependent. I applied for further study after having made meritorious contributions in a national confidential unit. Are you now assured of my background?"

"Don't worry!" Li Muhua nodded, realizing that Yang Liu's heroic spirit came from the military camp.

Then he asked, "Did your father find you a stepmother later?"

Hearing this question, Yang Liu said with a little annoyance: "No, if there was, they wouldn't have taken me in when I was thirteen!"

Realizing that his question was somewhat offensive to Yang Liu, Li Muhua kept silent for a moment, wondering whether to change the subject or apologize.

Yang Liu then said, "As for the third point, I came here this time just like last time, just to plan to date you and then take you back to Green City!"

"My dad is also very interested in you, especially your strategic vision!"

"He refused to believe your first letter, thinking that you were hurting him as a veteran who had supported Vietnam. Then he wrote the second letter again—"

"Stop, stop, stop -"

Li Muhua interrupted and said, "You're not the right person to date, right? We don't know anything about each other right now, and we've only met for less than half an hour, and you're planning to let me go back to see your dad?"

After hearing this, Yang Liu said seriously: "This is the result. We can take our time with the process!"

Li Muhua felt overwhelmed after hearing this. The one who first determines the result and then the process is the one who is destined to be together.

Then he asked, "Have you ever dated anyone?"

"no!"

Yang Liu turned her head and said, "I have been drawing, making parts, and conducting experiments in the factory every day these years, so I don't have time to date."

"No wonder." Li Muhua understood after hearing this: "No wonder I think you are much weirder than you were five years ago, it turns out you are stupid because of drawing!"

Yang Liu smiled and said, "You are much more reserved than you were five years ago. Is it because you know why I came and Zhou Ru is not here to protect you this time?"

"Yeah!" Li Muhua simply nodded, smiled and said: "That's indeed the reason. I feel very stressed when you do this, you know -"

"I am a good person!"

Yang Liu nodded and said, "I know, that's why I dared to go to the countryside to look for you, and I will come to look for you again now!"

These words made Li Muhua's heart flutter. She thought that she would not be able to hide from Yang Liu anymore and her expectation must have a result.

So he simply said, "I think we can give it a try, but if it's really not suitable, then you should just go back to Greentown and don't mention this matter again!"

"Okay!" Yang Liu agreed, "But I must have the same treatment as Zhou Ru. At the very least, you have to take me home before the end of the year!"

Li Muhua's head exploded when she heard this. Xu Yan had tried so hard to bring Zhou Ru together because she was her desk mate in elementary school.

But Zhou Ru had a previous record. If she brought her elementary school classmate back with her—

Li Muhua couldn't even imagine that scene, but when she thought about the time Yang Liu said was before the end of the year, she thought that such a long time should be enough to determine whether the two were suitable for each other.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Muhua said, "Okay, but——"

Without waiting for Li Muhua to say anything else, Yang Liu took Li Muhua's arm and said, "Okay, then we are a couple today."

"Let's go to the cafeteria first. I didn't eat well on the train at noon. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat first!"

Li Muhua was stunned. He only said to give it a try and never said that they wanted to date right away.

But he didn't refuse anymore and just said, "Okay, let's go eat first. I'm hungry too!"

Seeing that Li Muhua had no objection, Yang Liu smiled slyly.

The two walked towards the cafeteria.
