In an instant, both of them saw their own bewildered faces in each other's dilated pupils.

Meng Hechuan reacted first. He quickly let go of Bai Yan and was about to step back.

At this moment, Bai Yan took a step closer, grabbed his hand, and bit the side of his thumb.

The tiny pearly teeth exerted ten times the force, but Meng Hechuan felt no pain, only waves of inexplicable shivers like electric currents that passed through his arms and rushed through his blood.

Bai Yan's cheeks were sore from biting them, but she didn't hear the man cry out in pain. After venting her anger, she realized what she had done and let go in an instant.

Feeling a little scared, he lowered his head with an embarrassed expression.

The two were silent for a long time. Meng Hechuan raised his hand, and a circle of pink teeth marks appeared where she had bitten him.

Small and neat.

"Are you born in the year of the dog?"

...

...

Bai Yan still lowered her head, rolled up her sleeves, and quickly rubbed around the tooth marks, "I am a rabbit."

Meng Hechuan let her wipe it clean, "No wonder she bites people."

When a rabbit is angry, it will bite. She was not born in the wrong zodiac sign.

Bai Yan wasn't sure whether his words were a compliment or criticism, so she kept her head down.

Her hair was tied into a low bun with a hair tie, revealing her round occipital bone.

She was wearing Aunt Zhang's old collared jacket. The collar was too wide, and her slender neck was easily exposed.

Blindingly white.

Meng Hechuan's heart beat violently, and he turned his eyes away before his mind froze. "Let's talk about it. Let me ask you, who was the one who arranged for Tan Hean to send this movie to the brigade for screening?"

After all that commotion, Bai Yan calmed down.

As Meng Hechuan's tone softened, she also softened her attitude. She raised her head and looked at him seriously, "Chief Engineer Meng, first of all, I met Mr. Tan for the first time on the day of the welcome party. Before that, I didn't... didn't know him at all. Second, as for why he sent this original movie, I have no idea."

As she spoke, she raised her finger and swore, "The brigade has also investigated my identity, and even the leader made an exception and approved me to join the team. But Chief Engineer Meng still doubts that I am 'Swallow'?"

Bai Yan tried hard to maintain her facial expression, but she was already cursing in her heart:

Meng Hechuan is the leader of a villain. What qualifications does he have to be suspicious here?

But although she was angry, her mind was still clear.

In the original book, Meng Hechuan was a popular talent who was being trained as a key figure in the aerospace team. He is also a legitimate chief engineer and is not someone who can be challenged by someone like her who just changed her career in the latent profession!

"Chief Engineer Meng, is there something wrong with this movie?" Bai Yan learned her lesson and took a step back, throwing the question back to Meng Hechuan.

Meng Hechuan pursed his lips, obviously not wanting to explain the problem in detail to Bai Yan.

"I hope your answer is true. Tan Hean is not as perfect as you see on the surface. He is a businessman and will never do business at a loss. The cost of an original movie, from the copyright of the film to the cost of providing the projector and screen, is extremely high. It is of no benefit to him that the exchange class can attract more team members to learn English."

"Let's take a step back. Even if he arranged a movie for the team out of kindness, why couldn't it be some other movie? Why had it to be this spy movie with an original English version?"

Perhaps because she had read the original book, Bai Yan had the perspective of Tan Hean as the male protagonist and savior.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with Tan Hean sponsoring the brigade's movie screenings.

Not only that, Bai Yan even secretly wondered, Meng Hechuan was so sensitive, could it be because this movie played on his thoughts as a villain?

But no matter what she thought, Bai Yan didn't want to be taken to a corner of the playground and interrogated again by Meng Hechuan like a criminal.

She pretended to be confused and said, "Chief Engineer Meng, I have just made it very clear. I only found out about the brigade showing a movie tonight when I went to the training class building this afternoon. If you really want to know why Mr. Tan suddenly provided a movie for the training class, I think you can only ask Teacher Wei."

After Bai Yan finished speaking, she bent down and picked up the thermos bucket that had fallen to the ground due to the conflict between the two. She patted the dirt on the stainless steel bucket and said, "I just didn't want to waste this mung bean soup this afternoon, so I went to the small building to ask the teachers if they wanted to drink it. It just so happened that I ran into Teacher Wei and the others going to show a movie."

The sealing quality of thermos barrels in the 1980s was not that good. When Bai Yan unscrewed the lid, the mung bean soup inside leaked all over the floor.

Meng Hechuan stood where he was, his eyes falling from her face to the thermos.

These days they were punished to run in the playground, and Bai Yan did bring them sweet soup every day.

Bai Yan sighed softly.

The palm of my hand was filled with the stickiness of the mung bean soup. "Chief Engineer Meng, I have said everything I need to say. The movie should be over soon. Now, can I leave?"

"You really don't know about tonight's movie?"

"I really don't know."

Meng Hechuan couldn't tell the truth of Bai Yan's words for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he just opened his mouth: "Okay, I will believe this for now-"

Before they could finish their words, footsteps were suddenly heard behind them.

"who?"

Ruan Xiaohui, who was holding the corner of her clothes, seemed to be startled. She screamed "ouch" and fell to the ground.

"Brother Hechuan, it's me, you... don't be so fierce..."

"Why are you here?" Meng Hechuan frowned slightly. Was he thinking that Ruan Xiaohui might be his savior, or was he going to check

"I don't understand foreign movies either. Seeing that you and Sister Bai Yan left halfway through, I wanted to follow you out and join you."

Ruan Xiaohui's hair was a little messy for some reason, so she tidied it up and said, "Brother Hechuan, did I sprain my foot? It hurts!"

Meng Hechuan looked down and said, "Lift it up and move it a few times. You just fell down, not sprained."

Ruan Xiaohui blamed him for not understanding romance in her heart, "But my feet hurt so much, I can't walk, can you take me to the infirmary?"

Although Bai Yan despised Ruan Xiaohui's low-level green tea behavior, she wished Meng Hechuan would disappear as soon as possible, so she also joined in: "Chief Engineer Meng, she can't even walk anymore, you should take her to see a doctor."

Meng Hechuan helped Ruan Xiaohui up, turned his head and glanced at Bai Yan who was about to put oil on her feet, "Come with me."

Bai Yan's shoulders slumped again, "Chief Engineer Meng, I've explained everything I need to explain!"

"…The west side is more remote. I brought you here, so I have to take you back."

Bai Yan said "oh" and stopped being stubborn, and followed him and Ruan Xiaohui quietly.

Unexpectedly, just after walking out of the grove and turning a corner, Ruan Xiaohui shouted again, "My jade pendant fell off!"
