rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 232 Liu Qingqing’s Troubles

The investment matter has come to an end.

And because of the support from his girlfriend and family, the funds Chen Li had on hand suddenly became less stressful.

This made Chen Li's tense heartstrings relax somewhat.

At the end of October, Yanjing International Studies University held a welcome party for the 1998 freshmen.

German Class 1 also participated in the welcome party and presented two programs.

One is Yang Tao's solo "Little White Poplar", and the other was originally Li Jun and Zhu Xiaotian's sketch "Working Adventures".

However, two days before the welcome party, Li Jun suddenly received a call from home, saying that his father was ill and hospitalized.

Then Li Jun asked for leave and rushed back to his hometown in Northeast China. Naturally, he couldn't perform this sketch!

Chen Li didn't even realize this problem at the time. When he heard that Li Jun's father was ill and was hospitalized, he hurriedly helped Li Jun ask for leave and buy tickets.

As a result, Chen Li discovered this problem when the student union was rehearsing the next day.

This is so helpless!

Li Jun's father was sick and discharged from the hospital. It was only natural for him to go home to visit. After all, compared with his family, a program is nothing at all.

In the end, Chen Li had no choice but to take the lead. So Chen Li had no choice but to change his identity and become Gong Xiaobian, who was played by Li Jun before.

"Pfft~!"

"Haha~!"

Off the stage. Liu Qingqing, who received the news temporarily and went to Yanwai to watch the show, couldn't hold it back in the end.

Even though she had promised Chen Li not to laugh as much as possible before she came, she had not received professional training after all, so she couldn't help it.

Not only she couldn't help it, but the sisters who came with her couldn't help it either.

And as they laughed, others also started laughing.

There is no way~ Chen Li usually leaves a deep impression on them. Most of the time, the role played by Chen Li is more like a mature and steady "brother" type creature.

As a result, when Chen Li put on a wig and a borrowed suit, the difference in the scene hit him instantly.

Especially his suit, which he borrowed from Hannah's father, the foreign teacher in Chen Li's class.

This foreign teacher is 1.9 meters tall and as strong as an ox. His suit looks a bit strange to Chen Li, who has a small frame of 1.8 meters.

But in fact it is not strange, but Chen Li did it intentionally.

After all, acting in a sketch is not an idol drama. The purpose of the sketch is to make people laugh and make people understand the meaning of the sketch while smiling.

Of course, in a program like the New Year's Eve Party, the "irony" and "connotation" are basically meaningless, and the rest is mainly to make everyone laugh.

This was mainly because time was too tight. Chen Li and Zhu Xiaotian only rehearsed for one day, so Chen Li could only start from other aspects.

In fact, in the original show, Gong Xiaobin wore a long gown and mandarin jacket from the previous dynasty.

But such clothes were hard to find, and even if they found them, no one would be willing to wear them. Chen Li was not willing to wear them anyway, so he simply borrowed the look from another sketch by Gong Xiaobin and Mrs. Zhao, "Packaging Like This".

Anyway, this "Working Adventure" itself has been adapted, so it's not particularly out of the ordinary.

After all, it’s a student performance! Just do it to make everyone happy.

Chen Li's change was quite effective, especially since Chen Li was thicker-skinned than Li Jun. He imitated Gong Xiaobian's duck-like voice in this sketch and didn't blush at all.

Coupled with Zhu Xiaotian's extremely non-standard Qiong Province Mandarin, it can be said that it brought great joy to the audience that night.

In short, this program by Chen Li and Zhu Xiaotian was greatly welcomed by the audience.

Of course, this has something to do with Chen Li being relatively well-known among freshmen.

After all, during the military training, Chen Li's limelight was not small.

What's more interesting is that Chen Li has received three love letters and two confession calls so far.

Moreover, the sources of these love letters and phone calls are all sophomores or even juniors, and none of them are freshmen classmates.

This is very Yanwai!

This actually proves something. Guys like Chen Li, who are mature, stable and able to show off, are indeed very popular on university campuses.

Of course, this mainly has something to do with Mr. Chen being quite handsome.

Although it is not as good as those creamy boys, it definitely meets the aesthetics of most women.

Coupled with the fact that he is mature and steady, handsome, can play guitar, and sings well, he is definitely a proper male protagonist in novels.

That is to say, most girls these days are relatively reserved emotionally.

Especially the freshman girls, who have only been in school for two months now, so few dare to take the initiative.

If the current model of Chen Li is placed twenty years from now, Chen Li will probably become a prominent figure at Yenching International Studies University.

But in 1998, Chen Li could only be regarded as a limelight, a man of the hour in the school. He was also one of the big guys in the student union.

Just like the "big boss" of the student union in front of Chen Li at this moment, he looked so arrogant that he almost raised his head to the sky.

"Classmate Chen, your performance just now was very good!"

"I appreciate you!"

"Hmm~ By the way~ In addition to serving as the Minister of Literature and Art in the Student Union, I also serve as the president of the Crosstalk Sketch Club."

"I wonder if Mr. Chen is interested in joining our club!"

To understand it purely from the literal meaning, it seems that the leader of a club on a university campus is extending an invitation to Chen Li.

But if it matches this guy's expression, demeanor, and tone of voice, it gives people a different feeling.

It felt like the other party was saying: "Ha~ I'm such a big official and I've come to invite you personally. Why don't you kneel down and kowtow to me?"

Of course, this understanding is somewhat biased, but that's basically what it means.

Anyway, the other party's invitation made Chen Li feel very uncomfortable when he heard it.

To be honest, Chen Li didn't know why. These guys in the student union were not very old, but they all looked older than anyone else.

Especially these guys, obviously they are all college students, but they all have to speak in an official tone. This makes Chen Li very unhappy.

In fact, although Chen Li never went to college in his previous life, he had more or less heard about some of the bad habits of the student union through the Internet.

But hearing something and seeing it with your own eyes are actually two different things.

Many things, if you have not experienced them personally, will give you a different feeling.

Just like now, Chen Li wanted to turn around and leave. He really didn't want to talk to the guy in front of him at all.

But in the end, Chen Li did not do so, and just shook his head and rejected the other party's invitation.

"Sorry, Minister Qin."

"I'm usually quite busy, and there are still a lot of things I need to do at work."

"So, I'm very grateful for Minister Qin's kindness, but just join the club!"

"I'm sorry, I'm really busy."

Chen Li bowed his hands to the director of literature and art of the student union of the college before him, then turned and left.

Qin Qing behind her had a gloomy expression on her face!

In fact, this is not the first time Qin Qing has been rejected, but no matter what, being rejected is not a happy thing in itself.

Not to mention, Qin Qing has been in the student union for more than two years, and she has gradually become accustomed to the attitude of ordinary college students when facing invitations from the student union.

Ever since Qin Qing was promoted to Minister of Literature and Art, few people would refuse her.

Even though the invitation she just sent out was not on behalf of the student union, how could Chen Li reject it so happily?

Hmm~ In fact, Chen Li's refusal was tactful enough, at least his attitude was quite good.

But rejection is rejection, no matter how you reject it, it is the same for Qin Qing.

Well~ It turns out that some people are really very cautious once they become cautious.

In short, Qin Qing finally remembered Chen Li.

At this moment, Chen Li has arrived below the stage, ready to accept compliments from his girlfriend and classmates.

When Chen Li was performing on the stage just now, everyone was laughing so hard.

But now that Chen Li has come down, everyone can only praise Chen Li.

After all, just for the acting in the sketch, Chen Li's image of wearing a wig, wearing a big suit, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and holding the boss's handbag gave people too strong a feeling.

Coupled with Chen Li's "duck male voice" words that came out under the pressure of his voice, the contrast was extremely obvious.

In short, although Chen Li and Zhu Xiaotian only rehearsed together for one day, the actual effect was definitely not worse than that of Li Jun and Zhu Xiaotian who had rehearsed for so long.

Some people have big hearts. Such people are naturally more advantageous in dealing with many things.

Some people are born for the stage and can do well in both speech and performance.

Some people are born to make suggestions. They may not perform satisfactorily in front of the stage, but they can thrive behind the scenes.

In short, everyone has a scene that suits them. As long as you choose the right direction, you will perform very well.

Of course, there are also some talented players in reality. Such people can perform extremely well in any direction.

Hmm~ Such as Chen Li at this moment!

Of course, Chen Li can only be regarded as a pseudo-genius! In fact, he relied on the accumulation of previous lives and the help of the system to achieve his current performance.

But in the eyes of others, Chen Li is a genius.

He studies well, is handsome, and is good in other aspects!

However, Chen Li himself has no airs and can get along well with anyone, so Chen Li’s popularity is really over the top!

Not to mention anything else, the number of people who greeted him from behind the stage to where he was in his class exceeded double digits.

Some of them are golfers, including those who play basketball and football.

Some are good students, and Chen Li has set up a German corner, which is now getting bigger and bigger.

Some people are bragging enthusiasts, and Chen Li would often chat with some people and talk nonsense. With his more than 40 years of experience, it was just like playing tricks on a bunch of college students.

In short, Chen Li at this moment is like a treasure boy among the freshmen of Yanjing International Studies University.

And this kind of thing led to a situation. That is, Liu Qingqing was unhappy!

The reason is very simple. When Chen Li walked along the way just now, not all of the people who greeted him were boys. In fact, most of them were girls!

There is no way, who makes Yanwai have more girls than boys? This makes Liu Qingqing a little unhappy!

Of course ~ this is definitely a normal situation. If Chen Li and Liu Qingqing changed perspectives, he would definitely not like a bunch of men popping up around Liu Qingqing to say hello.

At first, Chen Li didn't react, but he noticed that his girlfriend was unhappy.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Li asked Qi Juan quietly, but Qi Juan shook her head.

She didn't know what was wrong. After all, she was not the person involved and could not understand Liu Qingqing's mood.

You know, Liu Qingqing always felt insecure because Chen Li was becoming more and more shining.

Now that this happened again, Liu Qingqing felt even more uncomfortable.

Don't say anything generous between lovers. Sometimes, even a small thing may cause a gap between lovers.

It's easy to solve something like this. Frank enough!

So although Chen Li didn't know what happened, it didn't mean that he couldn't solve the matter.

The performance on the stage continued, but there were two empty seats under the stage.

Chen Li directly took Liu Qingqing's hand and went for a walk to the Polytechnic University opposite.

"Qingqing~ What happened to you today?"

"Why do you look a little unhappy?"

"You can't be unhappy! If you're unhappy, I won't be happy. If I'm unhappy, then you won't be happy either."

"You see~ this way we fall into a vicious cycle."

"Daughter-in-law, can you tell me something?"

Chen Li walked in front of Liu Qingqing, turned around and started walking backwards.

"Who is your wife~!"

Liu Qingqing's cheeks glowed, but her lips pursed and her eyes turned to the side, as if she was restraining herself from looking at Chen Li.

Seeing Liu Qingqing's appearance, Chen Li realized the seriousness of this matter.

If it were normal times, Liu Qingqing would have gone crazy, but today Liu Qingqing just retorted, and her tone seemed a little salty.

At this moment, Chen Li's alert level instantly increased. Even though this might be just a small matter, Liu Qingqing's appearance at this moment clearly showed that he was dissatisfied with him in some way.

Once this dissatisfaction accumulates in the heart, it will inevitably affect the relationship between the two people.

Fortunately, Chen Li was not a real nineteen-year-old boy, otherwise this would have planted a hidden danger between him and Liu Qingqing.

"Of course it's you~! Your dowry was all given to me!"

Chen Li took out a bank card from his wallet, flashed it in Liu Qingqing's eyes, and then took it back.

"You~!"

Liu Qingqing was really annoyed at this time. She stomped on the spot and tried to snatch her bank card back.

Naturally, Chen Li would not let Liu Qingqing get what he wanted. He hid the wallet in his hand and Liu Qingqing ran directly into Chen Li's arms under the influence of inertia.

This little trick can be used by anyone who has been in love for a while.

Chen Li stretched out his arms and hugged Liu Qingqing directly.

From the perspective of others, it looks like Liu Qingqing took the initiative to fall in love with her, and the relationship between the two is very close.

But in fact, Liu Qingqing was using Nine Yin White Bone Pinch at this moment, while Chen Li was resisting Liu Qingqing's Nine Yin White Bone Pinch, holding Liu Qingqing like that.

"Uh~ I'm sorry!"

In the end, Liu Qingqing chose to give up and hugged Chen Li. After saying sorry, she sobbed.

Chen Li did not say anything to comfort Liu Qingqing at this moment, because he really didn't know what happened.

He just hugged Liu Qingqing tightly, which was actually enough.

After a few minutes, perhaps because she was tired of crying or perhaps because she was embarrassed, Liu Qingqing stopped sobbing and released her arms holding Chen Li.

"Ah~ I'm already green! Why didn't you resist just now?"

Liu Qingqing immediately looked at the place where Chen Li was pinched. It was already covered in black and blue, which made Liu Qingqing feel heartbroken.

Uh~okay~she pinched me, and she felt distressed because of it.

Chen Li, who had just pressed against Liu Qingqing's Nine Yin White Bones without saying a word, was now pretending to be pitiful like a living treasure.

"Hey~ How dare I resist! You've already done that. I definitely don't dare to move!"

"Anyway, it's just a pinch, and you won't die."

"Hi~ It will only hurt for a few days at most, and it will be so severe that you will be paralyzed by my pinching."

"Anyway, as long as you are happy, just pinch it as you like!"

Chen Li rubbed his waist while pretending to be upright, but from time to time he pretended to be pitiful.

His appearance directly made Liu Qingqing, who was originally full of pear blossoms, burst into laughter.

"You~woo!"

Liu Qingqing raised her arm, trying to hit Chen Li, but in the end she stopped her hand and continued to cry in Chen Li's arms.

The harder Liu Qingqing cried, the more relaxed Chen Li became.

Crying is actually a way for humans to express their feelings.

What Chen Li fears most is that Liu Qingqing hides everything in her heart and does not express it. That would be the greatest harm to Liu Qingqing!

With a way to vent and a way to express emotions, this is definitely a good choice for Liu Qingqing.

"Okay~! I've pinched and cried."

"You should tell me why now, right?"

When Liu Qingqing finished crying again, Chen Li took her hand and found a bench to sit down on.

Chen Li looked extremely gentle at this moment. After all, Liu Qingqing needed his comfort at this moment.

"Hmm~!"

Liu Qingqing was a little hesitant. She didn't seem to want to discuss this topic with Chen Li.

"Qingqing~ I am your boyfriend!"

"I won't hide anything from you!"

"So I also hope that you will try to treat me as the person closest to you."

Chen Li's words actually meant a bit "general". As soon as he said these words, Miss Liu felt a little embarrassed at first, but finally she spoke.

This matter is actually a long story.

Strictly speaking, this matter has nothing to do with Chen Li. It has something to do with Liu Qingqing's own mentality!

From childhood to adulthood, Liu Qingqing can be said to be the pride of heaven in her class, grade, and school.

Since the second grade of elementary school, Liu Qingqing has always maintained the best grades.

Even though she went to Erlong Middle School with average teaching quality, Miss Liu still relied on her talent to get admitted to Yenching University.

From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to praise Miss Liu as a "genius".

Although Miss Liu was modest in the past, she actually thought so in her heart.

When you hear people praise you a lot, you will naturally feel arrogant in your heart.

But all this was broken after Liu Qingqing entered Yanda.

Miss Liu is studying in the Chinese Department of Yan State University, which is considered one of the best in the country these days.

This also means that the Chinese Department of Yanda is definitely a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

Miss Liu, who has been praised as "the proud daughter of heaven" since she was a child, soon discovered a fact after entering the Chinese language and literature major of the Chinese Department of Yanda.

The world is big~! The proud one of heaven. It seems that she is not the only one.

Even Liu Qingqing had the illusion that she herself might not be considered a favored one at all.

This made Liu Qingqing a little confused! It even made her feel unconfident.

"Oh~! So that's it!"

After hearing this, Chen Li understood what had happened to Liu Qingqing.

In fact, there is a problem with the mentality!

Liu Qingqing found it hard to accept that she had fallen from being a top student and the proud son of heaven to being an "ordinary person".

This is not uncommon in top universities such as Yanda and Huaqing. Most of them occur among freshmen.

Chen Li's mind was racing at this moment, but unfortunately he was not a proud man in his previous life, so it was difficult to understand Liu Qingqing's mentality.

But problems always need to be solved ~ just how to solve this problem?

Today is my old man’s birthday, and I’m the cook at home, so I’m a little busy! Today is just one chapter, and Lao Yun currently owes two chapters, so I’ll make up for it later!
