Chapter 26

In the end, the fat man moved his nest very reluctantly. When he left, he looked back three times at every step. That was called reluctance, that was called regret.

He could have spent this journey with her!

Seeing that Gong Xue was having a hard time putting down her luggage, Wei Ming acted like a gentleman: "Let me do it, I'm 1.83 meters tall."

Gong Xue instantly did a math problem in her head. Wow, 20cm taller than herself, what did he eat to grow up!

"Do you want to sit inside or outside?" Wei Ming asked again.

"Either is fine, you choose first." She was very polite.

"Then you sit inside." Wei Ming was outside, which was convenient for going to the soft sleeper carriage.

"Okay, thank you," Gong Xue said after sitting down, "Sorry, I thought you were that female comrade's partner just now."

"It doesn't matter, but obviously that male comrade and her have more of a 'husband and wife' look." Both of them were chubby, which was rare in this era.

"Yes, yes, yes, they have a 'husband and wife' look, and you two also have a 'husband and wife' look." An old lady opposite with a kind face and a kind heart joked.

With these two faces appearing at the same time, who wouldn't say they were a golden boy and a jade girl, a match made in heaven.

This joke was a bit powerful for a maiden in this era. She waved her hands in a panic: "Auntie, we don't know each other."

Auntie asked Gong Xue with a smile: "Girl is really handsome, what's your name?"

She hesitated for a moment: "My name is Gong Xue, Auntie, what's wrong."

"Young man, what about you?"

"Wei Ming, the 'Ming' of tomorrow."

Auntie clapped her hands: "Doesn't that mean you know each other now!"

Gong Xue was shy and angry. She even suspected that this aunt was Wei Ming's biological mother.

But it shouldn't be. Auntie definitely couldn't give birth to such a good-looking son.

Wei Ming didn't expect Auntie to be such a divine assist. He really wanted to swear brotherhood with her!

Gong Xue admitted that Wei Ming was very handsome, taller and more handsome than the protagonists in their troupe, but he looked like a child at first glance. She didn't even know if he was twenty years old.

Being teased by Auntie, Gong Xue simply took a magazine out of her bag to read.

Wei Ming first noticed that the cover of the magazine was Pan Hong, and then realized, oh, *Popular Cinema*.

Hearing some colleagues say that this magazine is now sold out, and it is hard to find a copy.

*Popular Cinema* also resumed publication this year, with a cover character in each issue. Chen Chong and Liu Xiaoqing have both been on it.

After the Hundred Flowers Awards, which had been interrupted for many years, started next year, the sales of this magazine would reach a world-class height, and *Storytelling* at its peak would have to stand aside.

And the sister next to Wei Ming was also the Hundred Flowers Best Actress voted by millions of people. It was when the Hundred Flowers Awards had the highest gold content.

Gong Xue exited the group chat. Next to Auntie was an old man sleeping by the window, so she aimed her target at Wei Ming alone.

"Young man, at which station are you getting off?"

"Auntie, I'm getting off in Shanghai, what about you?"

Gong Xue's eyes looking at the magazine glanced over subconsciously. Is he also from Shanghai?

"I'm getting off in Dezhou," Auntie said.

Hearing that she was from Shandong, Wei Ming immediately switched to Shandong dialect mode: "Dezhou braised chicken is not bad, soft, rotten, crisp, and tender, especially tasty."

Gong Xue: So he is not from Shanghai.

Auntie was startled: "Actually, I'm not from Shandong, I'm from Henan, going to Dezhou to see my sister."

"Hey, so you are visiting relatives, okay." Wei Ming immediately learned Liu Zhenyun's Henan accent again, making Auntie laugh heartily, without any thought of maintaining an image in front of Gong Xue.

"Then my old man is from Shaanxi."

Wei Ming was happy. Auntie was treating him as a dialect encyclopedia.

But he did have some language talent and directly talked to her in Shaanxi dialect, making Auntie exclaim, "That's the flavor, my old man is just like this!"

Gong Xue was confused: What does this person do? How can he speak everything?

Her gaze fell on the book Wei Ming brought on the table.

The title of the book is not important; what is important is that there is a label "Peking University Library" on it, and there is also a number.

Gong Xue, who had never been to university, immediately showed respect. So he is a Peking University student, no wonder he is so knowledgeable!

"Young man, what kind of work do you do?" Auntie asked with concern.

Wei Ming: "I work at Peking University. Specifically, let's put it this way: even if the city leaders want to enter the school, it's up to me."

"Hey, are you guarding the gate?" Auntie hit the nail on the head.

Wei Ming clapped his hands: "That's right!"

Gong Xue: This person is talking nonsense, right? With this appearance and this temperament, think about the grandpa guarding the gate in their unit, it's completely not the same style.

Auntie didn't think there was anything wrong with guarding the gate. Having a decent job in this day and age is good; that is an iron rice bowl.

"How long have you been working?"

"Less than a month, I'm still a temporary worker." "Then you must be a local from Beijing."

"No, I'm from a village in Hebei."

Auntie started to wink. You don't have to be so honest, kid.

She noticed that although the girl next to her was reading, her mind was clearly on the young man. She hadn't turned two pages for so long.

Seeing that Wei Ming wouldn't cooperate, Auntie, who was angry at his lack of ambition, attacked Gong Xue again.

"Girl, who is this in the picture? Quite good-looking."

Gong Xue was a polite girl after all, so she replied: "Oh, this is Pan Hong, she is a movie actress."

Auntie: "Yo, a movie actress, she is good-looking, but she is still a bit worse than you."

Gong Xue blushed deeply: "Auntie, don't say that. She is very famous, I can't compare."

"How can you not compare? Young man, tell me if I'm right." Auntie kicked Wei Ming lightly, meaning to praise her, praise her hard!

Wei Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This aunt is too persistent. Is she a professional at this?

!

Although he definitely thought Gong Xue was better looking in his heart, in this era, this level of praise was also inappropriate and might make the person concerned very troubled. After all, they were just passing acquaintances.

So Wei Ming didn't answer directly, but said: "Maybe this Comrade Gong Xue is also a movie actress."

The hand holding the magazine shook violently. He actually guessed it.

The human spirit Auntie also captured this point, patted her leg and said: "Oh my, it wouldn't really be guessed right by Little Wei! Girl, you really are a movie actress!"

Gong Xue was a little secretly happy, but more embarrassed. She waved her hand: "No, no, how can I be considered a movie actress? I just, just acted in a movie."

Auntie kicked Wei Ming secretly again, looking proud, meaning: Auntie's vision is good, right? She really is a big movie star!

No wonder she is so good-looking, you kid just be happy secretly!

In this day and age, there is no insurmountable gap between movie actors and workers. For example, the income of an eighth-level fitter grandpa kills movie actors in seconds, but it will be different after the market for "running the show" rises in a few years.

Auntie hurriedly asked Gong Xue: "Girl, what movies have you acted in?"

"Auntie, you wouldn't know even if I told you. It hasn't been released yet." Gong Xue answered with a smile. It seems she has high expectations for this movie.

Seeing that she was quite interested in talking about this, Wei Ming also joined the conversation: "Are you an actress from the Shanghai Er Yingchang?"

Gong Xue shook her head and pointed to Pan Hong on the cover of the magazine: "She is, I am not."

Looking at Pan Hong, who was already famous on the cover, she couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes.

Pan Hong was a year younger than her, and both were from Shanghai. At first, they took the exam for the Shanghai Theatre Academy in the same year, but because the college entrance examination had not been restored, and she was an educated youth, the commune would not let her go.

And Pan Hong joined the Shanghai Er Yingchang after graduating from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Not only did she appear in several movies, but she had also started a family.

"Then will you still act in movies in the future?" Wei Ming asked.

Gong Xue: "If there is a chance, if someone looks for me, I am still willing to try."

Her biggest wish at this time was to become famous through a movie, and then be seen by the Shanghai Er Yingchang and transferred there so that she could reunite with her family.

"I think you will definitely be famous. You can go to the Shanghai Er Yingchang to see when you return to Shanghai this time. There are many opportunities there." Wei Ming suggested.

At this time, the Shanghai Er Yingchang should be preparing for *Lushan Love*.

Wei Ming's words reminded Gong Xue. Sometimes one cannot be too passive and must take the initiative.

And she also had some origins with the Shanghai Er Yingchang. At that time, when the Shanghai Er Yingchang was casting for *The Young Generation*, she auditioned for the heroine, but was not selected in the end, and Li Xiuming won.

However, she met the senior Zhang Ruifang because of this and was appreciated by the other party. The Shanghai Er Yingchang also hoped that she would stay, but unfortunately, limited by her status as an educated youth, the commune refused to let her go. In the end, she had to join the army. Now they dare not refuse.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Thank you for your suggestion, Comrade Wei Ming."

"You are welcome, Comrade Gong Xue."

The two called each other by their names for the first time. From this moment on, Gong Xue, who had always been on guard against strangers, finally let go of some of her defenses.

"What time is it now?" Wei Ming asked Gong Xue.

Gong Xue looked at her watch: "Two-thirty."

Wow, it's been so long. I don't know if everything is safe with Professor Qu. It just so happens that he is also tired of sitting.

So he said to Gong Xue on the side: "Comrade Gong Xue, can you help me watch my bag? I have an elder in the sleeper carriage, I'll go see her."

"Oh, no problem." She agreed readily and even put Wei Ming's bag inside.

This bag is quite heavy. She glanced at it secretly. It turned out to be all books.

You are a gatekeeper at Peking University, reading so many books, are you going to take the postgraduate entrance exam~ Gong Xue complained secretly.

After more than half an hour, Wei Ming came back.

Gong Xue looked up, ah, why did he bring his "daughter" over!
