Chapter 11 Movies

"Yun Che, the final exam is next week." Xue Mingsui frowned.

"I don't have any subjects for the exam." Hua Yunche said, "Shop Manager, how about we celebrate the holiday after the exam?"

"..."

A side stove has always been a dream of many people in their school days.Set up an induction cooker and a pot in the dormitory, and gather friends from each dormitory to have a hot pot party.

Hua Yunche wants to invite everyone to cook together.

"No, I have to go home for Chinese New Year." Xiao Si said.

Hua Yunche was depressed, and when Shu Qiao came the next day, she went to invite Shu Qiao again.

Shu Qiao heard, "A side stove?"

"Yes, after the store manager finishes the exam, will you come?"

"I've been busy recently and don't have time."

"Come on," Xue Mingsui said, "you can't catch up with manuscripts every day, and your body will be ruined. Right? You should combine work and rest."

Hua Yunche glanced at him.

"I'll think about it." Shu Qiao finally said.

Half a month later, the final exams for college students came.Xue Mingsui had no choice but to put down his work in the cafe, and began to revise with all his might. The young customers of SOLIS seem to be very similar to their surprise review rules, and few people have patronized it recently.

The content in the textbook has hardly been studied by myself, and the professional knowledge has become very unfamiliar.Fortunately, Xue Mingsui crammed his feet temporarily and forced the knowledge points into his mind, and he didn't fail the last subject.The easiest one is probably Hua Yunche. According to him, since entering university, there are only a handful of courses that need to be assessed.

Xue Mingsui passed all the exams with the goal of 60 points long live, and finally got a good grade point.

Hua Yunche scolded, "I've been out for so long, and I haven't studied. This is really '99% of hard work is not as good as 1% of talent'."

Xue Mingsui said, "Going out to hang out is also a kind of learning."

The winter vacation is here.

Hua Yunche didn't go home as usual, he was used to looting in the apartment before, and now he's used to loitering in SOLIS' bedroom.But the reason for not going home seems to be a secret he has been keeping, Xue Mingsui never knew.

Xue Mingsui also made a phone call to tell his family not to go home for the New Year.Anyway, his parents have been busy with work, and they have maintained a lukewarm attitude towards Xue Mingsui's starting a business.They don't seem to care whether he returns, thinking that men will go out to fight the world one day.

Xue Mingsui sighed.Looking at the rain outside the window, it was so cold that even the exhaled breath turned into white mist, "I want to go to a movie tonight, do you want to go together?"

"I'm not going," Hua Yunche huddled under the quilt, sniffing, "I've caught a cold and feel uncomfortable, please bring me something to eat."

"Okay," Xue Mingsui asked, "what do you want to eat?"

"Fried chicken, double skin milk, strawberry cake, octopus balls..."

If you have a cold and eat these, you will die.

When Xue Mingsui came to the movie theater, it was cold and humid due to the rain, making even the people wrapped in rice dumplings feel the bone-chilling cold.The raindrops hit the coat, forming dense drops of water.Today is Saturday, and there is a long queue at the cinema.

Xue Mingsui bought a ticket for a newly released animation movie.In fact, there was a spotlight a long time ago, and Hua Yunche mentioned it to him, but the two of them never watched it.

Today is finally the end of all the recent busy things. It is also a kind of enjoyment to watch movies alone and laugh with the strangers around you.Xue Mingsui bought a bucket of popcorn to add to the fun.

The movie will start soon.Xue Mingsui entered the venue and quickly found a seat. The lights were dim, and advertisements were projected on the giant screen, so the seats were almost full.

A warm atmosphere embraced him.

"Excuse me," suddenly someone walked carefully.

Xue Mingsui moved his foot away.

The man slowly took the seat beside him.Then he quickly removed the straw, poked at the lid of the cup, and took a sip, the smell of jujube milk permeated him.

Xue Mingsui turned his head in disbelief.

"...What's wrong? Sir." The man noticed, "Xue Mingsui?"

What a chance encounter.

"Shu Qiao..." Xue Mingsui looked at him, "What a coincidence."

"Well, yes." Shu Qiao blinked curiously, "You also like watching movies."

"Come once in a while." Xue Mingsui said, "What about you?"

"My former friend supervised this animation, and I'm here to support it."

"Oh."

Shu Qiao turned her head, covered the hot glass of jujube milk with both hands, and stopped looking at him.

The lights went down and the audience fell silent.The screen begins to play the intro, and the sound drowns out any remaining sparse hum.

The gods in the God Realm are facing a crisis of being laid off, and the two door gods are about to lose their jobs.Yu Lei decided to go to the world to do something big, to let the world recognize their existence.A mother and daughter in the ancient town of Nanxun run an old chaotic shop. The little girl met the door god one night...

Yu Lei gave the shuriken to the little girl Yu'er to protect her from getting hurt, and then walked away.

Then, the story moved into a slow and trivial rhythm.Inexplicable shots appear constantly, and the unclear language of the shots makes the audience sink into a boring atmosphere, and the characters have few lines and the meaning is unclear.

Xue Mingsui looked at the screen and turned to the popcorn bucket, reached out to grab some popcorn, only to find that Shu Qiao was staring at him.

Xue Mingsui felt numb for a while, "What's wrong? Don't watch it?"

"Aren't you the same?" Shu Qiao sucked on the jujube milk, "The story is too boring."

"..." Xue Mingsui handed over the popcorn bucket, "Do you want to eat?"

Shu Qiao stared at the popcorn again, then grabbed a few and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Unappetizing."

Xue Mingsui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Then don't eat it."

Shu Qiao turned around and straightened.The intriguing story was still shown on the screen, and the two were speechless for a while.

Xue Mingsui said, "After that day, you won't come to SOLIS anymore."

Shu whispered, "Well. Aren't you going to take an exam?"

Xue Mingsui was overjoyed when he heard that, "I just finished the exam, so I came out to relax."

"Oh."

The story finally came to an end, Shen Tu and Yu Lei defeated "Nian", Nanxun Ancient Town regained its calm, and the gods and the world were peaceful.

Suddenly, they said at the same time, "That..."

Xue Mingsui shut his mouth, "You speak first."

"I finished my manuscript recently." Shu quietly said, "Can I have hot pot with you?"

"Of course, don't you go home for the New Year?"

"Well, there is no one I know well in this city."

Xue Mingsui stopped talking.

"You're the one, won't you go home during the Chinese New Year?"

"No reply." He smiled, "There is nothing to reply."

He hummed.So Xue Mingsui invited him, saying that he would go buy ingredients in a few days, and have a reunion dinner together on New Year's Eve.Shu Qiao agreed.

The movie played the ending song, and the audience stretched, stood up, and walked out of the venue in twos and threes while talking about the plot, and the crowd became thinner.

Shu whispered, "See you later."

It was past eight o'clock when Xue Mingsui returned to SOLIS.The rain stopped, the dew condensed on the branches, Hua Yunche just woke up and nestled on the bed.Xue Mingsui didn't bring him what he wanted to eat, but brought some porridge and dumplings instead.

Hua Yunche started to eat dissatisfied.

"You seem very happy, what happened?" he asked.

"No." Xue Mingsui said, "Chinese New Year is coming soon, when you are well, let's have hot pot for New Year's Eve dinner."

Hua Yunche was thoughtful.

The next day, the two decided to renovate SOLIS's shop sign, and by the way, put on Spring Festival couplets for the New Year.The end of the new year is approaching, Hua Yunche's cold is almost gone, Xiaosi has packed her luggage, closed the shop and went home, Zhaixing Lane has become deserted.

Looking for a master to hang up the store sign, Hua Yunche gave pointers below, "It looks quite clean, but I still feel something is wrong?"

"I think it's the Spring Festival couplets you posted," Xue Mingsui teased him. "It's obviously Chinese Spring Festival couplets, but they are still posted outside a Western-style cafe. It's really ridiculous."

"I don't know who reviewed my design draft at the beginning? You don't know whether it is a combination of Chinese and Western or a combination of local and foreign with your taste."

Xue Mingsui was choked.

"Hahaha," the master laughed loudly, "people in our village rarely see these. Interesting and interesting..."

"..."

Xue Mingsui was cornered and made a gesture to hit Hua Yunche.The two wrestled with each other.

"Are you brave enough to say it again?"

"Hey, wait a minute, I didn't mean to...go away..."

"Little boy, you didn't do it on purpose, did you do it on purpose?"

……

"Hey, Shu Qiao is here." Hua Yunche said suddenly.

Xue Mingsui turned his head and saw that it was true, he was looking straight at him, Xue Mingsui immediately let go of his hand.

Shu Qiao didn't look very happy, he glanced at himself sideways, turned his head and walked away.Xue Mingsui hastily grabbed him, "Don't go, since you're here, why don't you come in and have a seat?"

Shu quietly glanced at him, as if it had nothing to do with him.

The master who hung up the shop sign left, carrying a ladder in one hand and a toolbox in the other, walking swaggeringly, singing a folk song while walking.The well-tuned tunes turned into pleasant background music, adding to their fun: "The mountain road here has eighteen bends, and the waterway here has nine chains! ... Without these eighteen bends, there would be no mountain girls as beautiful as water, and without these nine bends. Lianhuan, there is no such thing as a mountain of rowers..."

Xue Mingsui: "..."
