Chapter 6 (Fives)

"Zhiqi is now a friend of her brother's, and stays at their house all day long," Enjuan said, but she seemed a little shy. Zhao Jue just listened silently. "This man...is in the billiard room all day long." Zhao Jue's mother finally gave her money to live with her aunt in private, and told her father that her grandma sent her money from the mainland—they can't do anything to older people. She was also admitted to Fang University, but she was one level lower than Enjuan, so she had fewer chances to meet her. "It's good to study for another two years, but fortunately, the man's family is willing to wait for her." Her mother said.Maybe there is still hope in case, male and female college students, maybe they will meet a boy.

On Christmas Eve, Eun-juan dragged her to listen to the church bell ringing. Zhao Jue smiled and said, "It's so easy that we don't have to go to church on Christmas, and we still have to go?" "No, they have midnight mass, we don't have to go in. You haven't heard that bell, it's really nice." When we arrived at the church, we saw bright lights in the long stained glass windows, and more and more people came to celebrate mass.They just walk on the lawn.In the middle of the night, the bells from several bell towers rang in unison, and the tones were uneven. One sang and the other harmonized, one after another, forming a magnificent chorus.

Enjuan has already switched from pop songs to classical music, learning the violin from the first violinist of the Shanghai Municipal Symphony Orchestra.He is also a musician of considerable status who escaped from Central Europe because of the anti-Semitism of the Nazis. Enjuan said that she adored him, but she was afraid that Zhao Jue might misunderstand her, so she hurriedly said, "Actually, he looks very funny, very short, with a little hunchback, red hair, and probably not too young." Listening to the clock at midnight that day, Zhao Jue remembered and asked her: "Do you still have time to learn the violin?"

"I won't learn." She was a little stiff, apparently not ready to continue, but finally muttered again, "He misunderstood." The voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and her face was ashamed as if she was about to cry. Zhao Jue was shocked.What happened?Did he want to kiss her, did he kiss her, or did he just grab her?Zhao Jue couldn't even think about it, but kept silent. Before going to Chongqing, Enjuan mentioned "Zhiqi is married. She is her brother's friend." She didn't say anything. Zhao Jue's mother gave her money, after a long time, her father found out about it, and made a big fuss. He refused her support and hoped to force her to submit.She was so angry that she was still a year away from graduating, so she ran a single gang between Beijing and Shanghai.

In the past two years in college, she has gradually learned how to dress up.After the war, Enjuan returned to Shanghai. On the day she came here, she wore the highest high-heeled shoes and a round skirt of two blue soft silk—the whole material was cut into a large circle, the waist of the skirt opened at the center of the circle, and the circumference was the hem, which fit snugly and Well-rounded.The white silk shirt has ballerina sleeves, which accentuate her immature figure.At that time, not many women wore western clothes, and they looked a bit like Japanese.I don’t wear glasses anymore, and I wear blue powder on my eyelids, and put a cloud of purple mist in the center of the blue halo, making my eye sockets look more sunken, and the two-color eyeshadow is more natural.Behind the head, the dark clouds were chaotically piled up high, and another large stream flowed down, floating in the air, three inches away from the neck.

Enjuan smiled and said, "Your hair is good, it's cool." As soon as she saw Enjuan, she shouted: "You've lost weight! You look so thin." "I'm dragging the baby down. How many times do I have to get up at night to adjust the milk powder, and I have to hug him around the room when I cry. I can't help it. The room is crowded and I can't wake everyone up. I'm busy during the day, so I go out early in the morning. Doing things, always getting enough sleep." Enjuan is finally curvy, although her face is yellow and thinner, she is also delicate.No make-up or powder, a small floral cloth cheongsam, the hair is still not permed, parted in the middle as before, tucked behind the ears, I don’t know if it’s the frugality in the mainland, or Bian Li Wai likes her like this, thinking it’s closer to the classical style Oriental woman.

She brought the baby, a fat black-haired boy. "I always forget that I was speaking Sichuan dialect to the rickshaw driver on the road just now." She said with a smile. She didn't say a word about Zhao Jue and Qian Ruoruo. Zhao Jue knew that she must have heard Yizhen say that Zhao Jue's gang had met a Korean ronin. Zhao Jue smiled and said, "It's so easy to watch another movie. How many good movies have you missed, have you seen them all in the Mainland?" "There's a small movie theater near us, and we go there after dinner, no matter what kind of movie it is."

Zhao Jue said with a surprised smile: "I can't imagine, I just go to see a movie if I don't know what it is." It was always previewed many days ago, and the anticipation was enthusiastic. The two-foot-tall orchid with blue, stone and blue two-color inlaid silver traditional Chinese painting, slowly cut in half and pulled it to the two sides, so excited! "I'm exhausted after a busy day, and I just want to sit down and watch a movie. How is it like before?" "What's the interior like?" "They're all ramshackle little houses." "Do you talk to Bian a lot?" She didn't ask if they were in a good relationship.

"I don't have time to talk. He likes to read detective novels, even brushing his teeth." In a disdainful tone. Zhao Jue smiled. "Of course the sexual aspect is satisfied. I still remember that you refused to say anything at that time." He said again: "Busy. Just busy. Sometimes friends come to us with business. Bian is willing to help with anything. They say, 'The generosity of Li Wai and his wife...'" The English quotation in the last sentence is obviously said by their American friends. At least as a partnership, they're an ideal couple.
