Chapter 1519: Chapter 1519: Qingyun Becomes a Disciple 1

Feng Qingyun was only seventeen this year. Although she had witnessed the revolutionary romances of her two older nephews and the joys and sorrows of men and women in the military, she herself had no understanding of love.

In her view, Wa Zhanpeng’s presence brought her a great deal of trouble.

Wasn’t Wa Zhanling’s picking a fight entirely because of Wa Zhanpeng?

I do not kill Bo Ren, yet Bo Ren dies because of me.

"No matter how exceptional Comrade Wa Zhanpeng is, he’s no different from an unfamiliar comrade in my eyes. Other comrades haven’t caused me nearly this much trouble." Feng Qingyun told this to Feng Qingxue firmly, so she was resolute in cutting ties, "I have performance tasks, I have study tasks, and I’m super busy. No way am I getting entangled with Wa Zhanpeng’s family!"

Feng Qingxue touched her braided pigtail and asked, "What was Comrade Wa Zhanpeng’s reaction?"

Because of his family, the cultured and talented Wa Zhanpeng had left a bad impression on her. She was worried that if Wa Zhanpeng couldn’t accept Feng Qingyun’s rejection, it would stir up other troubles and harm her younger sister’s reputation.

This wasn’t decades into the future; Feng Qingyun was in the army now, and her reputation directly impacted her prospects.

The way society viewed men and women was highly unfair. A male comrade pursued by many women was seen as capable, and his admirers were considered to have good taste. Yet, if a female comrade attracted many pursuits, she was accused of toying with others’ feelings, or worse, accused of being flirtatious and provocative, inviting the most vulgar and filthy gossip.

Since Feng Qingxue couldn’t change this reality for now, she could only prioritize her sister’s safety. That’s why she didn’t like Wa Zhanpeng.

Feng Qingyun felt troubled. "He said he wouldn’t give up on his pursuit, that he’ll handle his family matters."

"Not give up? He wants to keep pursuing you?"

"Yes." Feng Qingyun thought of Wa Zhanpeng’s refined, handsome face and his earnest demeanor but quickly shook her head. "Who cares about him? I’m not even thinking about finding myself a revolutionary comrade right now. My focus is on my career. Once you settle down and have kids, it impacts your career. I’m not going to end up like you and Xiaoyue, always so busy you can barely manage."

When Feng Qingxue heard that Wa Zhanpeng wouldn’t give up, her brows furrowed slightly.

A beautiful woman’s furrowed brows could also be captivating. Feng Qingyun held her own face in her hands and said, "So many people say I’m good-looking and perfect for acting in films. They say I have beauty and a sweet voice. If they saw you, sis, they wouldn’t be saying those things about me."

A director from the studio told her that her facial features somewhat resembled those of the most beautiful woman of the Republic era, making her particularly photogenic. She had visited Director Li’s home, where he showed her his collection of photos. When she saw a picture of this legendary beauty, she was indeed stunning and graceful, like no other. She even bore an eighty-percent resemblance to her older sister. But her sister’s dimples and scholarly aura gave her an elegance unmatched—an innate poise and charm.

When Feng Qingyun brought up acting in films, Chen Xueniang couldn’t keep quiet any longer. "Xiaoyun, when did you film *Shanzha*? The cinema plays it every day now. I asked your sister, and she said she only found out you starred in a movie after she went to the theater."

"Exactly. Why didn’t you mention it?" Feng Qingxue asked.

Feng Qingyun retorted, "Didn’t I say something about it?"

"No!" everyone replied in unison. If she had said something, they wouldn’t have been so shocked.

Feng Qingyun smacked her forehead. "Then I probably forgot to mention it. Sorry, sorry. Honestly, there wasn’t much to say about it anyway. It was just a political task. The director from the studio came to our arts troupe to select people. Lots of young arts troopwomen around my age enthusiastically signed up, hoping to be picked. But I wasn’t interested. My main job is singing. I hadn’t even thought about acting in films. It just so happened that I was in the dorm washing clothes wearing an old dress my sister made for me when the director noticed me and chose me."
