Chapter 185 70s 13
He Shen looked at her waiting and couldn't help but smile. He looked up and asked, "Didn't you say you didn't want to stand between them?"
He Shen observed that Xie Qingyu disliked trouble.
Talking to people you don't like can be a hassle.
Xie Qingyu looked at him with some surprise. "Thank you."
"Don't be so polite. I have a pretty good relationship with your third brother. If you don't mind, you can call me brother directly." He Shen walked beside Xie Qingyu, slowing his pace to match her speed.
Xie Qingyu saw that Liu Qingqing had been pulled away by Ma Zhiqing and was talking about something.
Most people on the street were chatting with those around them, and no one paid any attention to them.
Since Xie Qingyu wasn't walking fast, the two of them gradually fell behind.
Chun Tao would occasionally glance back to make sure Xie Qingyu was still behind her before continuing to talk to Feng Jianguo with peace of mind.
"Your brother said you're going to the city tomorrow?" He Shen asked, carefully choosing his words.
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyu suddenly stopped, glared at him, and then walked forward.
He Shen: ?
Is he more annoying than Feng Jianguo?
She didn't even turn hostile towards Feng Jianguo just now!
Perhaps it's because everyone has a bit of a shameless streak.
Originally, He Shen only wanted to rescue her, but now that things are like this, he wants to talk to Xie Qingyu even more.
Why did he turn on me just because I said one thing?
Taking advantage of his long legs, He Shen caught up with Xie Qingyu in a few steps, saying, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have asked."
Although He Shen usually has a smile on his face, he gives people a feeling that he is not easy to approach. But now, he lowered his voice and admitted his mistake directly, giving people the illusion that he can be bullied.
"So could you tell me what I did wrong? So I can learn from this and not make the same mistake again." He Shen's attitude was sincere.
His attitude made Xie Qingyu feel a little embarrassed, as if her actions just now were somewhat inappropriate.
But his question was one that no one could answer.
Seeing Xie Qingyu's hesitant expression, He Shen suddenly felt a surge of joy.
I overheard it by chance last time, and I hadn't thought of it when he asked me about it today.
He was going to the city on business the next day, and Xie Xixing said it would be good to go together after hearing what he said.
That's why he brought this up when he was trying to find a topic to talk about.
Considering what happened last time, his question did indeed have a strong element of harassment.
Even He Shen, who had experienced a lot, felt that something was amiss.
"Sorry, I didn't think of that just now. It's just that your brother said we'd go together tomorrow..." He Shen suddenly stopped mid-sentence, which wasn't something that could be explained away.
"Where are you from?" Xie Qingyu asked directly to save the awkward conversation.
“From the south, from the mirage,” He Shen said in a low voice.
"Is the city fun?" Xie Qingyu asked.
"It's fun. There are many shops, and the overseas Chinese shops have a lot of novelties from foreigners."
"Foreigners'?"
"Yes, foreign goods are shipped here..."
He Shen's answers were basically extensions of Xie Qingyu's original questions, answering them just right while leaving her an opening for another sentence, so that the conversation between the two would not be interrupted.
If someone had stood by and listened to their entire conversation, they would have noticed that He Shen was guiding Xie Qingyu's questions step by step.
But it seems as if Xie Qingyu herself was interested and took the initiative to ask.
Unfortunately, there were no spectators around them at the moment.
He Shen paid attention to Xie Qingyu's expression as he spoke. When there was a noticeable change in her expression, he would say a few less words. This would make Xie Qingyu impatiently urge him to continue with her eyes.
He Shen didn't know how to describe that bright look in her eyes, especially when she looked at you seriously, as if nothing else was more important than you.
This made He Shen want to watch for a while longer.
Unfortunately, the journey wasn't very long.
When they were almost at the entrance of another village, He Shen took the initiative to end the conversation and went ahead to find Feng Jianguo.
Chun Tao is back now, with Xie Qingyu.
When they arrived, the projectionist was hanging up the screen, and many young people were helping out. Xie Qingyu even saw Xie Xixing among them.
Seeing them coming over, Xie Dongxing beckoned them over and pointed out the spot he had taken.
They arrived not late, but they couldn't compare to the villagers.
Some of them reserved the spots last night, and some even slept here.
However, relatively speaking, Xie Dongxing and his group had taken up relatively good positions, while Xie Qingyu noticed that Chun Tao's family had taken up positions several rows further back.
The people at the educated youth settlement were in pretty good positions; a few of them were in the row right behind Xie Qingyu.
However, Xie Dongxing and his group were not seated in a row; they were scattered around.
Xie Qingyu chose a seat on the side.
By the time the curtain was hung up, most of the others had taken their seats.
Xie Qingyu watched as Xie Xixing ran over from that direction and sat down next to her, while the rest of the Xie family members were positioned slightly forward.
"You've never seen anything like this before, have you? I'll show you today," Xie Xixing said with a grin as he returned.
Xie Qingyu followed his gaze and saw He Shen sitting behind her.
He was sitting on a small stool near the educated youth settlement. With his long arms and legs, he looked a bit cramped sitting on the stool.
When Xie Qingyu turned around, she leaned back slightly and could feel herself resting on He Shen's knees.
"You've certainly learned a lot. Did you learn anything from this?" He Shen's tone was familiar, clearly indicating that he understood Xie Xixing's personality.
Going up to help certainly wasn't for the sake of seeing the movie sooner.
"They're all on the machines." That was all Xie Xixing said.
The screen itself isn't anything special; the main focus is on the projector's equipment and how they operate it.
It's a pity this thing is hard to find and there's nowhere to dismantle it, otherwise we could see what's inside.
“You can try it out when you get the chance to get your hands on this machine,” He Shen said.
"It's probably a bit risky; there are too few of these." Xie Xixing knew this thing was difficult to obtain, unlike a radio.
He secretly disassembled his father's radio several times and put it back together. The first time he disassembled it, there were two parts left after he put it back together, which scared him so much that he studied them all night.
He became very proficient after that, and once he understood it, he lost interest and set his sights on other things.
"The movie has started," Xie Qingyu said.
As the movie began, the bustling drying yard suddenly fell silent, and only as the plot slowly unfolded did some sounds return.
Watching a movie at this time seems to make it especially easy to empathize. Seeing the characters on the screen suffer setbacks makes your heart clench. Xie Qingyu even heard several people crying.
When they arrived at the sweet spot, the drying yard was filled with smiles, smiles that seemed to be contagious, making Xie Qingyu unconsciously smile as well.
The bright moon, hanging high in the sky, shone on everyone's face.
Xie Qingyu was completely unaware that several eyes were on her while her gaze was focused on the screen.
