Chapter 5, The First Time
However, Lin Mufeng only advised Nuan Nuan to keep warm and to rest, and whenever he needed to discuss further, he often paused mid-sentence.
Nuan Nuan ran over and took Lin Mufeng's hand, softly saying: "Daddy, you should stay in the big room!" After saying this, she shook Lin Mufeng's arm and acted cute.
Fang Zhu shook her head and said, "No, this time I messed up the math exam for the final, my mom has grounded me and wants me to make up for my math studies!"
Dynamic music is playing
Her deskmate is Fang Zhu, with a bobbed hairstyle that reaches her shoulders, fair skin, a gentle expression, and decisive actions. She has been the squad leader since elementary school, and within less than a week of starting the preparatory class, she became the class monitor
Yihan snapped his fingers beside him and said, "It looks decent now, I want to see the actual operational ability"
Nuan Nuan was taken aback, encountering such a situation of mass excitement for the first time. Yang Xiaoguang was jostled by the crowd and lost one of her sandals, crying out in distress as she bent down to look for it, but it was nowhere to be found. Yi Han could only tightly protect the two girls under her arms from being injured in the throng of excited people.
Lin Mufeng was soaking the warm, dirty bed sheets by the kitchen sink when Nuan Nuan saw this and hurried over to press down on the basin
A warmth stirred within, and I inexplicably understood. Indeed, the familiar, spacious, and deep voice came through the headphones.
The first time I went to training, I had to do the "split" and it hurt so much that tears and snot came out of me, it was as tragic as it could be! Later, I just ran away. Yang Xiaoguang recounted her tragic history of gymnastics training, and it resonated with Nuan Nuan, reminding her of the ballet class that ended without any results
Lin Nuannuan! Someone called from afar
In the second year of junior high school, the school introduced a sewing class. Fang Zhu's assignment was a shirt, which was made exceptionally well, and the teacher brought it in as an example for discussion
Lin Mufeng called from outside the bathroom door: "Nuan Nuan, there are some things in the second drawer under the sink in the bathroom, could you take a look?"
This small tape recorder was originally bought by He Ping for Nuan Nuan in the year she left. Her intention was for Nuan Nuan to use this tape recorder to learn English. Later, Nuan Nuan began to develop a fondness for Leslie Cheung's songs, but she could not afford to buy his early music tapes with her pocket money, nor could she find them. As a result, she had to use blank tapes to record songs played on the radio, collecting them sporadically, and eventually filled five or six tapes.
Warmly pushing him, she said: "Go away, do not hinder me from cooking"
Many people in the crowd ahead said that Leslie Cheung had already entered the cinema, which caused the fans and moviegoers who were blocked outside the glass doors of the cinema to become excited and start banging on the glass. There were several loud "bangs," and those behind did not understand what was happening. Then someone in the front screamed, "The door is broken"
There is always a first time in a lifetime
Warmly, she opened the drawer; on the top was a book titled "Encyclopedia of Girl's Life Knowledge," with a sticky note affixed to a page that was sticking out, indicating to the reader to open that page
Nuan Nuan reminisced about when she began to love an idol
"Let's listen to some music for a while!" Yihan said, reaching for the bag beside the sofa, pulling out a DISKMAN, and then taking out a disc, fumbling as she placed the disc into the DISKMAN. She plugged one earphone into her warm ear and the other into her own ear.
A girl of thirteen or fourteen uses words like "handsome" to describe an adult male, as if it carries a precious little secret filled with cherished joy, intertwined with many vague and unattainable feelings. To have a hazy infatuation with an idol may also be considered a form of growing up
Yang Xiaoguang complained in anger: "Indeed, it is family helping family." Looking at a small bare foot, he lamented, "It's over, I really have to go home barefoot this time"
Early in the morning, Nuan Nuan pulled Yi Han up from bed
"Heavens, what a serious traffic jam!" Yi Han exclaimed
Alright, be careful with the soles of your feet
Lin Mufeng pointed to an archway sign at the entrance of an alley and said: "In the past, your grandparents lived here. Your father grew up here when he was a child"
Hurry and find a place to park, I need to look for Yang Xiaoguang" Nuan Nuan instructed Yi Han
If you want to know how popular Leslie Cheung is, you will see it today
Both Yi Han and Nuan Nuan cheered, lively and joyfully starting to arrange their own little space.
Sitting in front of Fang Zhu and Nuan Nuan is Yang Xiaoguang, who is cutting boys' hair
She awkwardly conveyed her discomfort to Lin Mufeng. Since her father is a doctor, Nuan Nuan has never needed to go to the hospital for minor pains or ailments. This time was no different
The small recorder has indeed been around for some years, and the sound quality of the recorded tapes naturally cannot compare to that of the original, leaving Nuan Nuan feeling a sense of regret each time.
On screen, Cheng Dieyi is so graceful and lingering, while Leslie Cheung at the premiere is so cheerful and open-minded. On screen, Cheng Dieyi is so extraordinary, while Leslie Cheung at the premiere is so dashing and handsome. He can easily captivate everyone present.
Yang Xiaoguang, being quite familiar, waved her hand with a smile and greeted, "Hello, I am your sister's classmate, my name is Yang Xiaoguang"
A person who is truly considerate will remember everything about another person. He will always be able to recall all her details, including her hobbies and her idols
Sigh... This broken machine is already quite good to reach this level. Yang Xiaoguang said that the sound quality of the CD would be excellent, which would truly showcase his wonderful voice.
Regarding the allocation of rooms, Wang Yihan and Lin Mufeng had a minor dispute. Lin Mufeng wanted to assign one room to Nuan Nuan and the other to Yihan, but Yihan insisted on having the small corridor outside Nuan Nuan's room.
Nuan Nuan also remembered this classmate, who was wearing a light pink T-shirt printed with a Mickey Mouse head, and had a rare Mickey Mouse electronic watch on her wrist. She was a little trendsetter, easy to talk to and fond of conversation, quickly getting familiar with a large group of classmates
Yihan Yi patted the rear seat of the bicycle: "Look, the Wang Yihan brand Mercedes is here, it can't carry Brother Leslie Cheung, but it can carry Sister Yang Xiaoguang."
Nuan Nuan made a face at him: "So what?"
"Why is it so sensational?" Nuan Nuan was deeply astonished by this grand occasion
Lin Mufeng remarked while drinking the mung bean porridge that Nuan Nuan made for the first time: "The fire might have been too strong, resulting in a bit of stiffness, but the taste is still acceptable. I will pay attention to improvements next time"
"Yes, yes, yes, I swear to serve Her Highness the Princess with my life! I will even drink the poison." Yihan saluted like a scout, then looked at the pot, swallowed hard, and contemplated the feasibility of drinking it.
It seems that everything began in the summer of that year
Nuan Nuan nodded and said, "Several classmates are quite nice, and it's easy to make friends."
Having spoken, I reminisced about the deliciousness of braised pork and smacked my lips
I truly feel useless, even staying up late does not help
Yihan is naturally half a head taller than Yang Xiaoguang, so she would not let her succeed. She dodged left and right, eventually slipping behind Nuannuan.
At the end, Cheng Dieyi took out the霸王剑 (the Overlord Sword), followed by Duan Xiaolou's mournful call of "Dieyi" and then the sorrowful "Xiaodouzi".
The car sped past the familiar streets and entered an unfamiliar road, passing by an old Shikumen building complex
He raised his head and scrutinized her closely, with a half-smile on his face, saying: "Oh, Lin Nuan Nuan, you!"
After speaking, yawn, brush teeth, and wash face, all actions are performed swiftly
Yang Xiaoguang could not hide the look of triumph on her face
As soon as Yang Xiaoguang saw Leslie Cheung appear, she grabbed Nuan Nuan's hand and let out a scream. The audience erupted in cheers, and the atmosphere reached a fever pitch.
Suddenly, the crowd surged, and the people at the back rushed towards the front door.
Yihan parked the car in a secluded alley next to the cinema and noticed that there were quite a few people standing at the back door of the cinema
"Let's go!" said Yihan, pulling a girl with one hand and making his way through the crowd. He used his arms to shield the two girls from being jostled by others. However, the three of them were still young and lacked strength, and ultimately could not push through against the determined adults.
Seeing Yihan looking at me with concern, her expression filled with affection and without a trace of sleepiness
The three of them, a father and his two sons, sat at the back of the moving company's truck, watching as the old house grew increasingly distant, all feeling a long sigh of relief in their hearts, their anticipation for the new home being equally profound.
Do not ask me about what is and what is not
"Next year at the Yihan conference, you must take good care of your younger brother!" Lin Mufeng reminded. Yihan, who was reviewing her studies in the outer hall, had keen ears and upon hearing her name mentioned by Lin Mufeng, rushed into the warm room and retorted, "Isn't it me who takes care of her?"
Upon arriving near People's Park, I noticed a surge of people; the sidewalks were filled with individuals, and there were people standing on the railings, gazing out. Various groups of people were holding banners, some were carrying cameras, creating a tumultuous atmosphere.
Got it! In the meantime, the water boiled several times, and Warm Hands hurriedly lifted the lid and turned the heat to low.
"What are we waiting for? There are so many people, how can we squeeze in?" Nuan Nuan hesitated
Nuan Nuan certainly knew what she was thinking, and quickly pulled Yi Han over to introduce: "This is my younger brother, named Wang Yi Han, and he is also from our school, but he is one grade lower than us"
Taking another look at Nuan Nuan, I noticed her red eyes and pointed at them, asking: "What happened to you?"
Yi Han looked at Nuan Nuan's nervous appearance, with her little brows furrowed and her small mouth tightly pursed, dressed in a little apron, resembling a cute yet anxious young woman.
Lin Mufeng said: "You are about to enter junior high school, and your studies will become increasingly intense. A private room can help you focus more on your studies"
"You also need to add some alum," Lin Mufeng said, handing the alum to Nuan Nuan
There were too many people today, I couldn't even squeeze in. Holding two movie tickets in my hand, the corners I gripped were dampened by the sweat from my palm
Seeing Nuan Nuan in formal attire looking angrily as if she was about to pounce on him to hit him, he said: "It seems that I have to work hard and cannot avoid sending you off."
Oh! Thank you, Yihan, my younger brother! Yang Xiaoguang bounced up and settled comfortably on the rear seat of Yihan's bicycle.
The premiere of "Farewell My Concubine" in this city is scheduled to take place at the renowned Guangming Cinema. Nuan Nuan need not worry about purchasing tickets, as Yang Xiaoguang proactively bought the tickets early in the morning.
The new apartment consists of two bedrooms and also includes a small hallway. The layout of the rooms is not very good, but it can be considered one of the better options available from the hospital. Considering Lin Mufeng's recent promotion and his actual living difficulties, the hospital allocated this apartment to him
It is difficult to seek a destined connection, and it is challenging to achieve complete agreement
Nuan Nuan involuntarily kept the beat with the music, while Yi Han could only shrug helplessly: "It's Leslie Cheung again"
For the past six months, she has been constantly comforting herself with this voice. However, she did not expect Yihan to listen to this album
The bodies of girls, without them realizing it, have gradually begun to blossom. Growing up can sometimes feel as if it happens overnight.
Nuan Nuan put on this apron for the first time in the kitchen
Yi Han woke up and sat up.
I will wash it myself" she said, blushing as she took the basin with the bed sheets to the bathroom
During that summer vacation when Yang Xiaoguang returned to school, she eagerly pulled Nuan Nuan and Fang Zhu, pleading: "Please accompany me to watch a movie! It would be so silly and boring to go to a film premiere alone!"
Tears streamed down uncontrollably
Yi Han was reluctant to leave and was very eager to see how Nuan Nuan cooked.
Warmly turning back, it also feels cold
Nuan Nuan added a lot of white sugar to Yi Han's porridge. Yi Han finished it in a few sips and did not forget to encourage her: "It tastes better than I imagined. Keep up the good work, and next time you can make braised pork."
Yihan stood with his hands on his hips, sweating profusely, and said to them: "You all go ahead, I will go play football at People's Park, and I will come back to wait for you when I'm done." As he spoke, he waved his hand and ran off. Nuan Nuan looked at his back, feeling a bit reluctant.
Here, I can also concentrate on my studies. Yihan still insisted, standing opposite Lin Mufeng, with the same resolute expression as Lin Mufeng.
The middle school near the new home is a district-level key school, primarily focused on cultivating students with special talents in arts and sports. The teaching quality is acceptable, but it is not considered a particularly remarkable school
At this moment, Yang Xiaoguang saw the warm little follower
However, Leslie Cheung brought an entirely different aura to the scene
You really have nothing to say, little brother. Yang Xiaoguang almost lost her balance and hurriedly leaned on Nuan Nuan's shoulder
In the ward, Nuan Nuan, with sleepy eyes, leaned unsteadily against Yi Han's shoulder and almost fell down, but was promptly caught by Yi Han's strong arm, waking her up instantly
Yang Xiaoguang did not care that she was missing a shoe, and simply learned to jump like a golden rooster, hopping along while pulling Nuan Nuan to the ticket gate.
The night before, I reported to my father that I wanted to watch a movie with my classmates. Lin Mufeng nodded slightly and, as expected, did not ask further questions and expressed his approval.
It was also getting cold, and while brushing my teeth, I saw Nuan Nuan washing the bed sheets, surprised: "Nuan Nuan is actually doing housework."
The person you like the most
Yi Han pushed the bicycle while Nuan Nuan lagged a step behind, walking alongside Yang Xiaoguang, chattering away as they continued to discuss the earlier premiere.
Nuan Nuan hit her head hard, but Yi Han pulled her hand away: "Dad said hitting your head too much will make you stupid"
Nuan Nuan experienced such a journey of fandom for the first time, deeply influenced by the atmosphere at the scene, as if her little heart had been shaken.
Nuan Nuan took the opportunity to stir up trouble: "Yes, yes, yes, children, hurry up and review your studies"
Yihan nodded slightly, glanced at the girl dressed entirely in Mickey Mouse, and greeted her: "Hello"
"Dad, you are a great doctor, and you should have a decent room." Yihan looked at Lin Mufeng with bright eyes, holding his backpack and other study supplies, firmly planted in the hallway with a determination to stay there. Meanwhile, he was also taking the initiative to direct the moving company's workers to move his small bed from the room into the hallway.
"You little rascal!" Yang Xiaoguang, disregarding that one of her feet was bare, ran over to pinch Yihan's face.
Yihan made a face that nearly caused her jaw to drop to the floor
What disc?
Yi Han had been waiting by the door for quite a while, pushing the cart. Upon seeing Yang Xiao's smooth and amusing one-legged stance, she tilted her mouth, caught between laughter and restraint, and ultimately burst into laughter, exclaiming: "I finally understand the concept of idol chasing; it's about chasing so hard that even your shoes fall off."
There is always a first time
A long time ago, a young girl gradually matured, starting from her fascination with the vibrant world of pop music, naively beginning to encounter those impulsive emotions.
The two shared a tacit understanding as they looked at their father on the hospital bed
At this time, Yihan had already grown quite tall, just at the age when boys in their teens begin to grow, and his voice was starting to become rough and deep, slowly transforming into a young man.
"Not old at all, very handsome!" Yang Xiaoguang retorted, and after a moment of thought, added, "He is a timeless fairy tale"
What movie is this? Nuan Nuan is somewhat interested; as long as the requests are not too excessive, Lin Mufeng has always refrained from interfering with his children's extracurricular activities during the summer vacation
One day after the summer vacation ended and school started, she woke up in the morning to find a crimson stain on her shorts, which had also soiled the bedsheet, leaving her in shock. Feeling both ashamed and frightened, she secretly ran to the bathroom to wash her shorts, crying as she washed, unsure of what to do.
"Wang Yihan, give me the car keys." After entering junior high school, Lin Mufeng opposed Nuan Nuan riding her bike to school, stating that it was too dangerous for girls to ride. As a result, he confiscated Nuan Nuan's bike keys, and the bicycle became Yihan's exclusive property
The house that Lin Mufeng applied for was completed in early autumn. He hired a construction team to carry out some simple renovations, and during the winter, he moved into the new home with Nuan Nuan and Yi Han. This was Nuan Nuan's first time moving.
Lin Mufeng gazed at the Shikumen over there, silent and contemplative, without answering his daughter's question
Why not try simplicity, why not try with full effort
Supporting Yang Xiaoguang, who continued to perform the Golden Rooster Stand, we walked out of the cinema, excitedly discussing the movie we had just seen and the much-anticipated superstar.
Yi Han sighed: "The sound quality is already producing a hissing noise, yet you can still listen to it?"
While speaking, he continued to stare intently at the gas stove
Isn't he quite old? Why do you idolize such an old celebrity like Leslie Cheung? Fang Zhu looked at Yang Xiaoguang with the gaze of someone observing an ancient stone mountain
"Farewell My Concubine." Yang Xiaoguang said excitedly, "Leslie Cheung is here too!"
Open it, blush, close it again, and then open it once more. Upon careful examination, nodding repeatedly, a sudden realization dawns. Beneath the book lay a soft plastic bag, and Warm had a general idea of what it was. She took it out and used it as demonstrated in the book.
Yang Xiaoguang ran over, drenched in sweat
Yihan, feeling both unconvinced and unwilling, walked away
The worker found himself in a dilemma, glancing at Lin Mufeng and then at the small boy, unsure of how to handle the situation before him
I will accompany you! The warm enthusiasm has been raised very high
Lin Mufeng could not resist the persistent pleas of the two children, so he compromised and placed his bed in the large room
"Alright, alright, think about how to squeeze in!" Nuan Nuan said
Upon exiting the bathroom, I tightly held this book and placed it under the pillow
You must have heard it too; it is the CD of Leslie Cheung's passionate concert. That year, I was unable to go with you to see it, so I bought the disc to make up for the regret. Yihan said, tilting her head back and gently closing her eyes
In the evening while doing homework, Lin Mufeng asked her: "Are you getting along well with the new classmates?"
Someone is bullying you, little brother! He chuckled.
What happened next? Nuan Nuan asked
That day, after returning from the premiere of "Farewell My Concubine," Nuan Nuan felt a certain part of her body was persistently warm and swollen, an indescribable discomfort.
Lin Mufeng brought over a basket of mung beans: "Let's start with the simplest mung bean porridge, both of you love it."
The security personnel have finally emerged in the cinema, along with several police officers to maintain order. People at the entrance can finally begin to enter the cinema in succession with their tickets
"LONG LONG TIME AGO......" is Leslie Cheung's version of "AMERICAN PIE"
I believe that this porridge may not hold much promise in terms of flavor" Yihan concluded.
Nuan Nuan's assignment is an apron. Yang Fang Zhu helped her alter it, and after the adjustments, it indeed fits much better. The wide straps are adorned with butterfly edges, and there is a large pocket on the abdomen.
Yang Xiaoguang nodded at Nuan Nuan: "Not bad, there is even a bodyguard escorting."
It is difficult to seek a destined connection, and it is challenging to achieve complete agreement
Dad does not allow you to ride a bike in public places. This directly rejects Nuan Nuan's request
He could not help but want to alleviate the warm tension, so he took the small red lamp recording machine from her room, placed it on the kitchen table, plugged it in, and pressed the button
The child is not focused on doing homework, quickly go review your lessons. Lin Mufeng urged Yi Han to return to his own room
"Hmph, I have made a pot of overcooked porridge, and you must drink it all." With eyes wide open in anger.
Yihan found a wooden stool to sit on and tugged at the hem of her apron, saying, "I want to add sugar!"
Nuan Nuan felt a bit embarrassed, changed the subject, and insisted, "What? Is Lin Nuan Nuan unable to do housework? Starting today, I will cook for the two of you men."
The one riding is the blue "Forever" ladies' bicycle. Nuan Nuan is sitting sideways in the back, no longer straddling it like she did when she was younger
Yang Xiaoguang sighed at Fang Zhu, saying, "You truly are the material for a virtuous wife and good mother." In her hand was a pillowcase she had made herself, wide at the front and narrow at the back
The profundity of the film exceeds what individuals of their age can comprehend. Nuan Nuan felt somewhat fatigued while watching, as she did not fully grasp certain plot points, but she faintly sensed the profound despair conveyed in the film.
Warmth added well, anxiously watching the pot
Nuan Nuan nodded confidently and began to wash the rice, mung beans, and the mixed glutinous rice under Lin Mufeng's guidance. She then poured the mung beans into the pot, hurriedly adding water.
Nuan Nuan became the publicity committee member of her class shortly after attending an art class. Yang Xiaoguang served as the sports and cultural committee member and often acted as the lead instructor for the entire school during elementary school, nearly being selected for the gymnastics team at the youth palace, but ultimately did not make the cut.
My name is Yang Xiaoguang. When we first met, Yang Xiaoguang took the initiative to turn around and greet the new classmates, her double eyelid Danfeng eyes sparkling. "Hello, you are Fang Zhu and Lin Nuannuan, right?" Yang Xiaoguang immediately remembered the names of the two classmates sitting behind her.
"Oh no, the target has appeared. We must hurry," Yang Xiaoguang said excitedly
