Chapter 54
"Don't worry, I will treat you as friends." Gu Ao saw that these two beauties were not clingy and knew the right amount, so there was no need to keep people from thousands of miles away.
Of course, it's just an ordinary friend.
He relied on "curve to the countryside" to escape high school for two or three years, but the sequelae of this is that he rarely meets his peers in the school.
"Then we will contact us often in the future. If you are busy, let's write a letter." Xu Mengrou seemed very happy.
Ren Yuqin, who was relatively quiet, immediately took out a letter: "Actually, we read the "Our Patience Is Limited" carefully that day. I think you have a good literary talent. Such simple content can be written so imposingly. We, the Literature Academy, are ashamed to read it. If you are not busy, please appreciate what we write in the future."
Gu Ao looked at the piece of letter paper that exuded the fragrance of lotus flowers and didn't know what smoked it with. His first reaction was: Isn't this a love letter?
But love letters were not taken out in front of the light bulb.
Ren Yuqin's eyes were pretty good. She immediately guessed what Gu Ao was worried about and quickly explained: "Don't worry, it's just a hymn I wrote, praising the comrades who defended the honor of the motherland on the diplomatic front. Her literary talent is definitely not as good as you, so don't laugh."
Gu Ao has confirmed that this seemingly quiet girl is actually a slut.
What he said about "praises the comrades who defend the honor of the motherland on the diplomatic front" must be to praise him.
After all, it's just a disguised love letter.
But if the girl doesn't say it out loud, he should also avoid embarrassment.
"Okay, if you have time in the future, let's discuss literature." He expanded and looked a few times, then commented a few more words.
The hymns are really enthusiastic and they are a little overwhelmed.
In the 1980s, there was a lack of entertainment activities, and the gap between people's living conditions was not that big, so there were really many literary and artistic young women.
If a male college student can publish more articles in newspapers and magazines, no matter how poor a female student will be, she will be poor with him wholeheartedly. If she can play some musical instruments and spend her literary skills on creating lyrics, it will be like letting a girl fly into the flames.
I was used to seeing later generations of materialistic women and baronesses, and suddenly I met two beauties whom I admired because of his good writing of Gu Ao and published many times in Renren Daily. It was impossible to say that Gu Ao was not moved at all.
After chatting about friendship and literature, Gu Ao personally sent them out of school. He also bought two cups of hot coffee at the convenience store at the entrance of the school cafeteria to let them warm up on the way.
Ren Yuqin covered her hands and sighed: "It looks so fragrant. Is this the legendary coffee? The Diplomacy Academy is good, there are so many things I have never seen before."
Xu Mengrou: "Don't send it away, then we'll leave~"
“By the way.”
"What else is there?" Xu Mengrou turned around quickly.
Gu Ao: "Actually, it's nothing. I'm just curious. I haven't asked you how old you are. Since you are all friends..."
Xu Mengrou smiled sly: "What? If the grade is right, do you have other ideas?"
"No, no, forget it if you don't answer." Gu Ao was a little scared.
Xu Mengrou pouted: "Stingy! We are all 17."
Gu Ao watched the girl leave, thinking in his heart: Even the school girl is at least one year older than him, I really don’t know when I will meet a young girl.
...
After Xu Mengrou's two girls returned, another week came in a blink of an eye.
The Spring Festival in 1979 was very early, and the Chinese New Year was celebrated in January. The winter vacation and other arrangements in college will naturally be ahead of schedule.
The holiday will take place around January 15, and the final exam will be completed in batches before this.
Three foreign language courses, two etiquette courses, the history of Western cultural customs, the history of diplomatic relations... A total of seven compulsory courses have made people like Gu Ao, who have the souls of engineering students in his previous life, suffer so much.
Fortunately, he has taken advantage of his youth, and his acceptance of learning foreign languages is OK, so he barely removed the most troublesome obstacles. As for those two etiquette classes, the teacher also added extra points to the students who had the opportunity to go out for internship this semester, which was considered as a way to pass the money.
Even so, Gu Ao was so busy that he didn't even plan to have a birthday.
It was already January 7th. He had just finished two etiquette classes in the afternoon and was completely thrown aside. Gu Ao was about to go to the cafeteria, but he was suddenly blocked by Ye Wan on the way, which surprised him.
Since Gu Ao was surrounded by so many girls to praise and invite him at the Christmas Eve all-night dance party, Ye Wan seemed to be a little unwilling to follow the crowd. She once cooled down the relationship between the two and did not have any extra negotiations with him.
"Happy birthday!" Ye Wan took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and her face turned red and quickly stuffed him a white wax cardboard box with a ribbon.
"Thank you... Thank you." Gu Ao accepted it, hurried to the cafeteria to find a secluded corner, sit down, and opened the box in front of him.
It is a small butter cake - a pure and dense Nagasaki cake with a layer of whipped cream, which is square and simple enough to be simple.
On top is a soju cherry.
Seeing Gu Ao's desire to speak but stop, Ye Wan took the initiative to speak: "Do you want to ask me how I know about your birthday? I checked your files last time and saw it. I wouldn't be angry about that time, right?"
"How is it possible? Don't mention what happened in the past. I'll go and cook a few more dishes, and you can eat with me." Gu Ao said, and went to the food to buy a good dish worth two yuan (the university cafeteria has subsidies, and it's worth five yuan outside), and brought a large plate back.
The school has now reached more than a dozen pairs, and more boys have gone to other schools to find girlfriends. So the ratio of loving dogs to single dogs is only 46.
A man and a woman eat will not attract the attention of classmates.
Ye Wan actually wanted to find some warm topics to talk about, but she couldn't help but feel cold face. As the occupational disease of the children of high-ranking officials broke out, she returned to study and work as she talked.
"Have you been concerned about current affairs recently?" She cut a piece of roast goose with a knife and fork, chewed it slowly and ate it slowly, and wiped it with a napkin before speaking.
"No, I've been too concerned about current affairs a while ago, and have I missed my homework? I'm busy reviewing and preparing for the exam."
Gu Ao was not so gentle when he had dinner with his friends in private. Although he didn't chew and talk, he didn't pay attention to the level of "saying words and rubbing his mouth".
Ye Wan further lowered the volume: "Aren't you afraid of war ahead of time? You personally participated in the editorial "Our patience is limited."
Gu Ao is indeed not worried because he knows history.
Of course, it is limited to conclusions.
As for the causes and consequences, the deduction process is not as detailed in the history lessons of later generations.
So to answer Ye Wan's question, we can only speculate casually: "I think at least we have to celebrate the New Year and the Lantern Festival, right? After all, the Vietnamese are mainly attacking Cambodia and dare not attack us on a large scale. We must have time to prepare."
Ye Wan stomped her feet in a hurry: "Why are you suddenly so undividually sensitive? Do you know that the Vietnamese advance too quickly, much faster than the Ministry of Defense's deduction expected! It took 10 days to capture Phnom Penh.
Yesterday, the Ministry specially arranged a Boeing 707 aircraft to pick up the prince from the encirclement - he moved into No. 15, Dongjiaomin Lane last night. Alas, I don’t know how long it will be in exile in our country this time. I hope I can go back after the war."
Gu Ao really wanted to tell Ye Wan: The prince will be in exile for the rest of his life this time, and he will live in China for 40 years.
But he knew that he couldn't say this.
"But the war still has to be done after the New Year, right?" Gu Ao wiped his mouth and confirmed seriously.
"The conclusion is correct, but the reason is not what you think!" Ye Wan corrected it verbally, "On the one hand, we did not expect that the Vietnamese fought so quickly, and it was difficult for the temporary dispatch and mobilization of the army.
But on the other hand, we need to visit the United States and Japan before the war to show our attitude, and the battle cannot be fought in vain. With the current situation, it is probably impossible to completely eliminate the Vietnamese regime. It is unknown how much Cambodia's position can save it. The key to the operation is to make the West believe in our sincerity of openness and its determination to break with dogmatism.
As for what you said, you are reluctant to let the troops fight during the New Year, this is secondary. At present, the ministry has arranged a trip to visit, and even the chief has to celebrate the New Year on a plane to Japan in the United States. How much is it for the country and the people."
When Ye Wan mentioned this, Gu Ao was indeed in awe.
During this year's Spring Festival, great men spent the flights on foreign visits, and they did not hesitate to work hard for the country and the people.
However, this level of reaction was far from enough in Ye Wan's eyes. She couldn't help asking: "Why aren't you surprised?"
Gu Ao: "These are still state secrets at present. It's not good for you to tell me, although we can all contact some confidential people."
Ye Wan: "Then don't ask, can you get even an internship opportunity to carry your bag to your escort this time?"
Gu Ao: "It's impossible. Last time, it was because I had to arrange a visit to ten Eastern European countries at the same time. The ministry did not have enough staff. This time I visited the United States and Japan with the heads. Even if I carry my bags, I am far from qualified."
Ye Wan's expression became dark: "You are self-aware, but in fact, you have just made a typical example and strike while the iron is hot, so you can't say you have no chance at all.
When Teacher Han came to inform me yesterday, I said that I was not qualified, why wasn’t you? She also explained to me very unbearable, saying that you are no longer suitable for this ‘dove’ task. I told you in advance, so that you can be mentally prepared. Next semester, your internship may have major adjustments. Don’t tell others that I told you!”
"I didn't understand very much. Could it be that I would not be able to graduate from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and choose my own career?" Gu Ao did not understand, but his tone didn't seem to be very nervous, and he was actually a little expectant.
Ye Wan was anxious: "What are you saying! The country worked hard to cultivate you, but you have become a typical example. How could you not use you? You just need to use it in another way!"
