When Shen Li asked Lu Xiaolong to take her to participate in some Cultural Revolution activities, Lu Xiaolong was a little surprised.It was already cold winter outside the window, and the piano room was dark. He looked at Shen Li, whose hair was a little disheveled and her face was flushed.Shen Li tidied her hair, lowered her eyes and said, "Don't keep pestering me about this, otherwise, I will hate to associate with you." The two stood there speechless for a while. Just now, Lu Xiaolong embraced and kissed Shen Li fervently, but Shen Li kept avoiding and pushing him perfunctorily, and finally pushed him away, both of them felt humiliated.Shen Li felt humiliated because the other party brutally imposed her feelings on her; Lu Xiaolong felt humiliated because the other party rejected her.Later, they looked at each other a little strangely, even hostilely.Shen Li looked at the closed door of the piano room, and there was no footsteps on the stairs, then looked at Lu Xiaolong, and said, "Can you stop talking to me about these things? I like to hear you talk about your affairs. You always Don't be afraid that others will hate you if you do this in a hurry?" She couldn't help but glance at the top of Lu Xiaolong's head again.

This subconscious action once again made Lu Xiaolong feel humiliated, because he had no height advantage in front of this girl. He admitted more and more that Shen Li was a type of girl he had never met before. She understood Tolstoy, Cao Xueqin, music, and the psychology of men and women. He really wanted to hear what Shen Li had to say.Whenever he comes to Shen Li's piano room from the great revolution, he feels that he has entered another world.Here, he indulges in a kind of noble gloom, and he likes the comfort and warmth here that is different from the rough life outside.He likes Shen Li's beauty, the good smell she exudes, and the smell that wafts in the room. It is the elegant and old smell that only exists in old houses for many years. It reminds people of decades of history and is also mixed with Shen Li's body smelled from small to large.He even liked the loneliness in the room very much. Once he arrived in this room, he was somewhat isolated from the world. The brown-red walls showed the atmosphere of an old house on sunny days and sunny days.Here, although he talked about his proud achievements outside from time to time, what he felt more was his hunger for the opposite sex.He often cannot suppress this hunger and thirst.

Shen Li no longer received him in the bedroom, which made him very annoyed.In the piano room, although he often restrained himself and talked about things that Shen Li was interested in, however, whenever Shen Li's eyes softened and she looked at him longingly, he would get carried away and couldn't help but want to catch him. Hold each other's hand.Because the other party was conquered by his majestic conversation just now, he left his hand in his hand and let him rub it.He would touch from hand to wrist, reach into the other person's clothes to touch the forearm, and even bend down and kiss the back of the other person's hand.At this time, the other party will also make one or two warm movements, such as reaching out to comb his hair.

At that time, Shen Li looked at Lu Xiaolong lying on her arm with thoughtful and hazy eyes.Encouraged by this situation, Lu Xiaolong went to hug Shen Li. Shen Li was sitting leaning against the piano just now. The piano was not turned on, and her arms were on the piano cover.Seeing Lu Xiaolong push his arms from kissing to hugging his body, she gently pushed the other's shoulders with her hands.This push has no power, it's just a reminder.She allowed the other party to kiss her face a few times. That kiss didn't arouse any emotion in her, but she just felt that she was doing her duty.When Lu Xiaolong's kiss became warm and dense, she closed her eyes to avoid it a little, and she refused to let him kiss her lips.When Lu Xiaolong hugged her more presumptuously and kissed her violently, she tried her best to avoid and push back, feeling the vulgarity and clumsiness here.Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, and struggled to push the other party away.She stood up, and the two gasped and stared at each other with some hostility.Lu Xiaolong's face was a little red and white in sullenness. This girl who made him fall in love always refused him so coldly and resolutely, which made him feel humiliated.He felt that he could grit his teeth and turn around and leave, never to come back again, however, he still stood there without moving.

Shen Li read the meaning in Lu Xiaolong's eyes, looking at this student leader who annoyed and was annoyed by herself, her thoughts froze for a moment, she didn't want the story to be like this.She won't let Lu Xiaolong go, but she won't stop Lu Xiaolong if he wants to go.Panting slightly, she thought of the clumsiness of the scene just now, so she straightened her hair again and straightened the tight sweater on her body.In this movement, she felt her tallness and slenderness, felt the tightness of her waist and the swell of her chest, and also felt her own beauty.Her face glowed plump and white in the dim light, and she could feel the smallness, slenderness and plumpness of her own hands.Her expression is graceful, graceful and noble.Realizing this, she felt all the beauty and pride in this elegant and lonely old house, and she especially looked at Lu Xiaolong with a hint of contempt.

Lu Xiaolong stood in front of him, neither tall nor short, wearing an old military uniform without a belt around his waist, and froze there with annoyed expression, revealing the ridiculous stubbornness and hostility of a little boy when he was insulted.Shen Li felt bored.She is not unreasonable, nor is she extremely capricious.She thought of the first insult she had done to Lu Xiaolong on the day when she ransacked the house, and she also thought of how she had invited Lu Xiaolong to the bedroom in front of Lu Minmin on that dull and boring autumn day not long ago, and threw herself into Lu Xiaolong's embrace. .However, it was still difficult for her to associate this unremarkable boy with the student leader who was a leader in the country.She has read so many literary masterpieces and understands human psychology, so she doesn't want to do things that are unreasonable.

After Lu Xiaolong's anger passed for a while, he said: "If you think we are not suitable, I will leave immediately and never come again." Shen Li lowered her eyes and paused for a while, looked at Lu Xiaolong tiredly, and said : "You don't know what others like about you at all." Lu Xiaolong understood this meaning, he knew that Shen Li, like other girls, liked his political talent.He has become more patient and has paid more attention to showing his political talents. However, every time his political talents caught Shen Li's affectionate gaze, he couldn't restrain himself.He also persuaded himself to be more patient, but whenever he felt that he was patient enough, he hit a wall when he became reckless.Lu Xiaolong looked at Shen Li without saying a word.Shen Li went on to say: "I know you are amazing, there will be many girls who like you, and you don't have to be with me." As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Xiaolong again.These words undoubtedly appeased Lu Xiaolong's self-esteem.He lowered his eyes and said: "Who made me so stupid, I fell in love with you." The air loosened a little.

Shen Li took two steps, stopped leaning on the piano, and said, "Don't keep pestering me, you should talk more about what you did." At this moment, Lu Xiaolong completely came out of the annoyance just now, and he said coldly: "Those things are just done, and they are not always talked about." When he said this, he had already recovered his pride. with confidence.Shen Li thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and said: "Lu Xiaolong, take me out to participate in some of your activities, I want to see how you do things." Lu Xiaolong looked at Shen Li with some surprise, and Shen Li sat down. After getting off, he pointed to the chair Lu Xiaolong was sitting on just now, and said, "Sit down, really, I'll follow you to have a look, it's very interesting." Lu Xiaolong looked Shen Li up and down, and said, "Who dares to take you there?" ?" Shen Li grabbed Lu Xiaolong's hand and pulled him to sit down.Lu Xiaolong seemed to be still maintaining his dignity, and sat down reluctantly.Shen Li said, "Are you afraid that I have big goals?" Lu Xiaolong glanced at her and said, "You understand." Shen Li smiled and said, "I know how to put on makeup. Besides, it's winter now, so wear a mask." hat, a mask, and a change of clothes, you won’t be able to see anything.” Lu Xiaolong looked at Shen Li thoughtfully, and Shen Li shook his hand, saying: “What I said is true, you wait A little while." She got up and kissed Lu Xiaolong comfortingly on the face, then ran upstairs.

After a while, she ran down the stairs, Lu Xiaolong was stunned for a moment.Shen Li was wearing a gray-blue khaki tunic suit, which is almost the most common clothing for male students, a pair of liberation shoes, which is also the most common style for male students, and a gray-blue cotton cap on her head. The style is like a military cap, with a velvet brim standing on the forehead, velvet ears on both sides, and the ear buckle tightly tied under the neck. There is a big snow-white mask on the face, only a pair of eyes Smile at him happily.Shen Li said: "How about it, you can't see that I am a woman this time, right?" Lu Xiaolong glanced at her and said: "Your eyes are not good, you are too beautiful." Shen Li said: "That's because you preconceived I have prejudices. I used to squeeze the bus like this, and no one doubted me." Lu Xiaolong looked at the shoes on her feet and said, "It's too cold to wear Jiefang shoes today." Shen Li said: "I still have cotton shoes." She took off her mask, unbuttoned her hat earbuds, took off her hat, shook her hair, and said, "Is that all right?" Then she walked up happily and kissed Lu Xiaolong's motionless face from left to right Twice, "I promise to cooperate well with you and listen to you."

There were footsteps on the stairs, and Shen Hao said in a loud voice: "What is Lili doing running up and down?" Then, Shen Hao appeared tall and big at the door of the piano room.He always reasonablely gave the two young people room to talk, and always hoped to have interesting conversations with Lu Xiaolong, a student leader.Shen Li immediately put on the mask, put on the hat, put on the earbuckles of the hat, and said to her father: "I'm going to go to a few colleges with Lu Xiaolong, is this okay?" Shen Hao graciously gave up Intending to chat with the two young people, he waved his hands and said, "Go ahead, just don't cause trouble for others." The two went downstairs, Shen Li pushed on the bicycle, and Lu Xiaolong asked, "How is your cycling skills?" Can you get in the crowd?" Shen Li smiled and shook her head, Lu Xiaolong waved her hand and said, "Forget it, don't ride a bike, I'll take you with me." He pushed up his Flying Pigeon Shen Li said: "How to get on?" Lu Xiaolong said: "If you are afraid of falling, ride on it, if you are not afraid of falling, ride on the side, it is up to you."

Shen Li said: "You ride first, and then I will get on." Lu Xiaolong said: "You sit on first, I can do whatever I want." Shen Li glanced at him, "Look at how amazing you are!" Lu Xiaolong smiled, Said: "I can't do anything else, my cycling skills are still first-rate." Shen Li was riding on the back seat, while Lu Xiaolong pushed the bike and stepped on the pedals twice before getting on the bike from the girder.Then, he left his seat and leaned over to accelerate and pedal a few times, bringing the car up to speed.He sat on the seat, accelerated and pedaled again, and the car jumped faster and faster.This beginning brought a new interest and feeling between the two of them. Through the acceleration and turning of the car, Lu Xiaolong could clearly feel Shen Li's body on the back seat. It was a heavy and relatively light body. Body, this feeling is transmitted through the car in a very specific way, one can feel the slenderness and plumpness of Shen Li's body, and also feel her slenderness. The feel of that body's length, weight and texture thrilled him through every sharp turn.At the first sharp turn, Shen Li hugged him from behind, which made him especially excited. Flying with the girl he likes is very exciting. From the very beginning, Shen Li was slightly excited by the rapid acceleration, and then lightly hugged Lu Xiaolong's waist, leaning her body inward as he made a sharp turn.The wind is blowing in the ear, feeling very comfortable.Sitting in the car made her feel that a man's physical strength was driving her.She felt the power in the boy's body, as if the power was directly exerted on her body, which brought her a warm stimulation.Lu Xiaolong took Shen Li into the Sun Moon Temple Park, and then into Beiqing University, planning to pass through Beiqing University to browse the big-character posters here, and then go to other universities on Xueyuan Road. As soon as they passed Wujiaochang, the central area of ​​Beiqing University's big-character posters, they saw a wall crowded with people, and there must be a relatively important movement there.Lu Xiaolong stopped the car, asked Shen Li to get off, then leaned the car to the side and locked it, and then pulled Shen Li into the crowd, squeezing all the way to the front few rows.He looked back at Shen Li, who smiled happily at him with her eyes on the snow-white mask.Lu Xiaolong and her looked at the big-character posters hand in hand, like two very good boys. The title of the big-character poster was astonishing, "An Open Letter to Lin Biao", signed by two students from the High School Attached to Beijing Agricultural University, Yilin and Dixi.Looking at the content again, it was actually against Lin Biao.The people watching were very quiet and focused.Shen Li was a little surprised that someone put up big-character posters for Chairman Mao's successor. She squeezed Lu Xiaolong's hand and looked at Lu Xiaolong questioningly. Lu Xiaolong also squeezed her hand, saying that we will not talk about it now.He looked at the big-character poster seriously.He knew that Lin Biao could not rebel easily, and if he made a mistake, he would lose his head.However, the experience of the Cultural Revolution taught him that many things that ordinary people dare not oppose, some people oppose, and become the most glorious revolutionary leftists.This big-character poster cannot be said to be unreasonable. It believes that Lin Biao vulgarized Marxism-Leninism, preaching that it is enough to read Chairman Mao’s works 95% of the time, and that Mao Zedong Thought is the pinnacle of Marxism-Leninism. dialectic.The first thought that came to Lu Xiaolong at this moment was that he had missed another opportunity, this was his instinctive reaction to all the behaviors of going against the wind.Regardless of whether the appearance against the wind was correct or wrong, and what the final result was, the first thing he thought of was that others might have made the right appearance, but he himself missed the opportunity. At this moment, he always finds the rationality of the other party's actions, so as to increase his stimulation and make himself jealous and uncomfortable. Then, he will comprehensively and calmly consider whether the other person's appearance against the wind is correct and what the consequences will be.Today is also the same. He first felt disappointed by posting Lin Biao's big-character poster for others to stand up to the wind, but he didn't post it himself. Then he calmed down and judged whether this matter was politically correct or not. I heard from people around me that this big-character poster had just been copied from another university. Several people were copying this big-character poster, and one of them was actually Zhu Lihong.She was standing there short, looking up with a fat face while copying in a notebook.Lu Xiaolong thought for a while, then pulled Shen Li out of the crowd.Shen Li was very curious, she asked: "What the hell is going on?" Lu Xiaolong said: "Let's find out." Then, he took Shen Li and rode out of Beiqing University.It didn't take long before they came to the High School Attached to Agricultural University.It's a bit remote here, and the big-character posters are a bit deserted, with playgrounds and buildings scattered here and there.Lu Xiaolong took off the Beiqing Middle School Red Guard armband on his arm, led Shen Li to ask around, and finally found the two students who posted the open letter in the student dormitory building. They were two tall, plain-looking boys with melancholy expressions.When they saw someone coming to connect with them, they seemed very friendly and a little bit wary.They asked which school Lu Xiaolong was from?What is your name?Lu Xiaolong turned his head to look at Shen Li, and replied frankly: "I am from Beiqing Middle School, and my name is Lu Xiaolong. This is my classmate." His self-introduction aroused enthusiastic reactions and excitement from the other party. I knew about Lu Xiaolong, but I didn't expect that Lu Xiaolong would find him by himself.They enthusiastically invited Lu Xiaolong and Shen Li to sit down in another room. There were several bunk beds and several tables in the room, which was a bit messy but brightly lit.Lu Xiaolong took off his hat, while Shen Li was still wearing a hat and a mask.These two students named Yilin and Dixi looked at Shen Li suspiciously and said: "We have heating here, it's not cold." Lu Xiaolong said with a smile: "Leave him alone." Then they chatted with these two middle school students.He struggled to understand the nature and background of the matter.Yilin and Dixie talked about their theories in eloquence.When Lu Xiaolong wanted to further judge the political background of this matter, they said: "Now, a large group of people in Beijing are secretly gathering to oppose Lin Biao." Lu Xiaolong frowned and thought, feeling the seriousness of this matter politically. The two said to him: "Tonight there is a secret meeting at the Beijing Aeronautical Academy, you can go and listen to it." Seeing Lu Xiaolong's hesitant expression, the two said to him: "You don't need to reveal your identity. We'll write you a note." As they said that, they tore out the paper from their notebooks and wrote a sentence on it: "I'm introducing two reliable friends to the meeting, Erin and Dixie." They sent Lu Xiaolong all the way out of the school gate, saying: "We believe that you are a person who thinks seriously about problems, and you need to make your own conclusions." They got on the bike, and Shen Li sat sideways this time.She gently put one hand around Lu Xiaolong's waist, put her face on his back, and asked: "Have you formed a judgment?" Lu Xiaolong was thinking of "taking risks" while riding a bicycle.This time, he felt that things were not so fun, and he said: "This matter is a bit desperate." Shen Li smiled coquettishly, and said: "Then don't be desperate, let's not go to Beijing Aeronautical Academy." If Lu Xiaolong He is acting alone today, so he might not go, because he brought Shen Li with him, and after hearing what Shen Li said, he felt emotions that were contrary to his rational judgment. He said: "I like to risk my life." , let's go and have a look. What are you afraid of when you venture into Longtan and Tiger's Den?" Shen Li pressed her face comfortably against his back and said, "Okay, you decide, anyway, I'll follow you today." It was a long journey, and when we arrived at Beijing Aeronautical Academy, it was already dark.They bought a packet of biscuits at the small store and ate them as they found their way to a conference room in a building.The conference room was very large, with a long table in the middle, and several layers of people sat around it. The rest of the room was empty and dimly lit. It was not as secret as they thought.When the people at the door heard that they were introduced by Yilin and Dixi, they let them in without reading the notes they wrote.A room full of people from many universities, and some in uniform, from military academies and units.The content of the conversation was both concentrated and loose, and the theme was naturally against Lin Biao.Lu Xiaolong pulled Shen Li to sit down in a darkest corner.Along the back wall, there are many soft seats piled high. Sitting in the dark and looking at the circles of people around the long table, Lu Xiaolong felt that the atmosphere here was a bit weird.I don't know if the light on the roof is broken, or to keep it secret, the whole light source is a desk lamp on the table.If it was for the sake of confidentiality, he didn't quite understand why the procedures for entering the door were so casual.When dozens of faces hold a political meeting around a table lamp covered with a red gauze shade, you think of some Arabian folk tales, gold diggers and Russian Decembrists from hundreds of years ago.That lamp might be an Arabian magic lamp, an oil lamp from an ancient gold mine, and a lamp from a Decembrist secret meeting.Most of the space in the room is dark, only a few faces surrounding the lamp are clearly visible in the red light.Pairs of eyes sparkle, each speaks passionately and impassionedly, all opinions are consistent and inconsistent.This appears to be a meeting that will last until dawn and will not produce results. Lu Xiaolong sat quietly, he knew that many important political decisions were made after such a long time, and he waited to see their results.Anyway, he was at the forefront of this situation, and if it was something he decided to devote himself to, he would never miss the opportunity.If this matter is dangerous and should not be done, he is now hiding in the dark without revealing his identity, and he can get away at any time.He liked the dangerous feeling of being on the edge of an abyss.Especially with Shen Li by his side, he didn't feel like he was staying out of time at all.He let Shen Li lean on his left side, hugged her gently from behind with his left hand, and held Shen Li's hand with his right hand.He is enjoying the warm emotions in a dangerous political climate.Because she was safe enough to sit in the dark, Shen Li took off her mask and unbuttoned the earbuds of her hat under her neck.Relying on Lu Xiaolong to watch the Cultural Revolution in this way, some great political struggles originated from these planned activities, is also as exciting as reading a novel or watching a movie.However, she was a little sleepy at this time, she was cold all the way, leaning against Lu Xiaolong in the warm room, feeling a kind of slack and numb sleepiness.Whenever there were important developments and speeches at the conference table, Lu Xiaolong would pinch her hand and shake it, and then she would smile, open her hazy eyes, and look at the crowd illuminated by the desk lamp over there. It was late at night, and with the dim light of the desk lamp, one could see that the big wall clock on one side of the wall had pointed to 12 o'clock.Some of the people in the meeting were sleepy, some were yawning, and most of them were still discussing vigorously.There was a short-haired middle-aged man who was dozing off with his forehead resting on his hands, but now he spoke passionately.When he spoke, some people listened intently, and some people were still talking eloquently just now, but fell asleep at the moment.Lu Xiaolong was still concentrating on observing this meeting. He felt that he was as alert as a wolf dog. He sniffed out the background of this matter and judged everyone's starting point through speaking one after another.He will continue to observe until he understands the ins and outs of this matter.He liked this sense of alertness like facing an abyss more and more. Shen Li had long been dozing off, and he hugged her more tightly in his arms tenderly.Because no one paid attention to them all the time, Shen Li let Lu Xiaolong take off her hat, shake her hair out, and then doze off dizzily on Lu Xiaolong's shoulder.At this time, Shen Li seemed gentle and obedient, Lu Xiaolong hugged her, and occasionally kissed her gently on the cheek, and Shen Li rubbed her face on his shoulder, like a child sleeping in the arms of an adult, letting herself go his caress.Holding this wonderful "little girl" in my arms, I thought of her domineering arrogance during the day, and especially felt that her sleepy and resigned appearance was coquettish and cute. At this moment, Lu Xiaolong felt that he was protecting her, taking care of her, embracing her like a cradle.She was completely asleep on his shoulder.He kissed her face lightly, kissed her lips, she dodged lightly as if avoiding mosquitoes in her sleep.He kissed her more tenderly, hugged her sliding body upwards, and let her sit on his own. A pudgy female student moved over from behind the crowd in the shadows. She held a pen and a notebook in her hand, and seemed to want to go around to the other side of the conference table.When she came over, Lu Xiaolong was startled, he recognized Zhu Lihong through the dim light shining over there.As Zhu Lihong moved, his eyes kept looking at the speaker over there.Lu Xiaolong immediately put on Shen Li's hat and put the ears down.Zhu Lihong also accidentally found two people sitting in the corner, she was obviously startled.When he saw that it was Lu Xiaolong, he seemed to have guessed something, walked over and said in a low voice, "Are you also investigating their situation?" Lu Xiaolong could only nod ambiguously.Immediately, Zhu Lihong whispered as if facing an enemy: "Be careful." She glanced at Shen Li who was leaning on Lu Xiaolong's body again. In the darkness, she felt that Shen Li looked familiar, but she was too embarrassed to recognize her. Then he waved to Lu Xiaolong, who is also an underground worker, and walked around this corner to the other side of the long table.I saw her sitting in the darkness behind the group of people, recording something with the light from the desk lamp shining through the cracks in the crowd. Lu Xiaolong woke up Shen Li, but Shen Li didn't understand clearly, so he kissed her hard on her face a few times.Shen Li hummed, turned her face away, and buried it on his shoulder, still dozing off.He patted her face lightly, and whispered in her ear: "It's midnight, we should go." Only then did Shen Li realize that she sat up straight.Lu Xiaolong leaned next to her ear again and said softly: "Put on the mask, Zhu Lihong who ransacked your house last time also came, she saw you just now." Shen Li was shocked and asked: "Did she recognize me? "Lu Xiaolong said: "I don't know." Shen Li closed her eyes hard, opened them, shook her head, shook off all the drowsiness, quickly put on the mask, put on the ear buckle of the hat, and asked softly: "Let's go?" ?” Lu Xiaolong nodded, then took her hand and walked over to the side of the conference room. He originally wanted to go around the group of people around the conference table from another direction, but after thinking about it, he decided to go this way.He wanted to let Zhu Lihong know that he was retreating halfway.When they passed by Zhu Lihong, Lu Xiaolong leaned down and said to Zhu Lihong, "Let's go first." Zhu Lihong nodded because he was trusted, and looked suspiciously at Yan Yan through the light from the crowd. Shen Li was completely covered with a hat and a mask. Lu Xiaolong pulled Shen Li and slipped out of the dark conference room like two fish.After leaving the building gate, I came to the deserted campus of Beijing Aeronautical Academy under the moonlight.The big-character poster area on both sides of the road was still lit with electric lights, and a few scattered people were watching the big-character posters.The cold northwest wind whizzed from behind, urging them forward.He pushed the bike and walked side by side with Shen Li for a while, then got on the bike and took Shen Li with him, let her hug him tightly, and rode away quickly.
