Shen Xiaobei searched the crowd with her eyes for a while, and then she saw Duan Beihai walking towards her.
She waved to him with a smile on her face, but the little guy didn't wave back or smile at her. He walked towards her slowly.
"Little neighbor, how long have you been here?"
"I came a long time ago, but I haven't seen you!"
"I'm sorry, I thought you wouldn't come so early! Guess what gift I brought today?"
"Humph, I won't guess!"
Duan Beihai held his neck high, looking a little proud.
In fact, he was very curious, otherwise he would not have come to the river to play so early.
However, he was unwilling to admit that he was curious in front of Shen Xiaobei.
"Okay, then don't guess. You won't guess right anyway, hahaha! Close your eyes first, and I'll take it out later!"
"Hey, childish!"
Hearing Shen Xiaobei ask him to close his eyes first, although Duan Beihai's tone was full of disdain, he still cooperated with her obediently and closed his eyes.
"Dangdangdangdang—Little Duan Beihai, you can open your eyes now!"
"What is this? It's colorful and looks like something girls can play with!"
"This isn't just for girls. It's a toy that helps you develop your intelligence and hands-on skills. It's called a Rubik's Cube. It's playable by everyone, young or old."
"Also, although this thing looks simple, it's actually very difficult to play. Some people can't even play it after a long time."
"Yeah?"
Duan Beihai tilted his little head and began to become curious about the square and colorful toy that Shen Xiaobei took out of his trouser pocket.
Shen Xiaobei started playing with the Rubik's Cube since elementary school and became very good at it.
After graduating from college and becoming a fashion designer, she also bought a few Rubik's Cubes and placed them in her office and home.
Sometimes when I feel tired of drawing designs or my design ideas are blocked, I will take out a Rubik's Cube to play with it to relax my brain.
So before traveling through time, she also stored the two Rubik's Cubes in her home into the space, to keep them for herself to entertain herself in the future.
However, the Rubik's Cube toy only became popular in the 1980s.
She took it out in this era several years in advance. She knew that in the 1980s, if Duan Beihai still kept the Rubik's Cube or remembered that she gave him a Rubik's Cube that year, he would definitely be very puzzled.
Haha, let him be puzzled then!
Thinking about this arrogant little brat, touching his head with a puzzled look on his face, Shen Xiaobei found it quite funny.
"Here, look, the six sides of this Rubik's Cube are all scrambled. Let me show you how to put all six sides back in place."
Under Duan Beihai’s curious gaze, Shen Xiaobei quickly turned the Rubik’s Cube.
It didn't take long to put all six sides of the Rubik's Cube - red, yellow, blue, white, green and orange - back in place.
After seeing Shen Xiaobei's interesting process of playing with the Rubik's Cube, Duan Beihai looked eager to try it out.
"Isn't it fun? I'll shuffle them again. You try and see how long it takes you to spin them."
"Humph, how difficult is that!"
Duan Beihai snorted and replied with some disdain.
Then he took the Rubik's Cube that Shen Xiaobei had scrambled the colors on again, lowered his head, and began to turn it seriously with his two little hands.
However, after turning it around for a long time, I still couldn't get one side back into place, let alone all six.
He felt a little anxious and strange in his heart. Shen Xiaobei was turning it around so casually just now. How could she turn it all around in a short time?
Why can't he turn it around properly when it comes into his hands?
Duan Beihai turned around for a long time, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead and his small brows were tightly furrowed.
Shen Xiaobei smiled and comforted him: "This thing looks simple, but it's not easy to play, right? Don't worry, it took my sister a long time to play it!"
"Take it home and play with it slowly. If you find it too difficult, how about this? I'll come to the river every evening for a week to wash clothes. You can come to me then and I'll teach you. How about that?"
"Humph, I don't know how to play now, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to play tomorrow or the day after tomorrow! I don't need a girl to teach me, I can definitely play it myself!"
"Yeah, not bad! He's quite stubborn and never gives up. He's a real man!"
"Then you can have fun by yourself. I'll come to the river every evening this week to wash clothes. When you've had enough fun, come and tell me so I can be happy for you, okay?"
"Okay, then you just wait here, I will definitely play it for you to see!"
"Okay, I'll be waiting! Come on!"
Shen Xiaobei stretched out a hand and clenched it into a fist, and made a cheering gesture towards Duan Beihai. The little guy curled his lips unwillingly, then lowered his head and turned the Rubik's Cube seriously.
He still couldn't believe it. Such a simple thing, Shen Xiaobei is a girl who can play it.
He is a man, how could he not know how to play?
"Okay, little neighbor, don't rush things. Take your time and explore. I'm going to go find my friend over there first. See you next time!"
"Well, go ahead!"
Duan Beihai was still spinning the Rubik's Cube seriously, without even raising his head, and responded perfunctorily.
Shen Xiaobei smiled and shook his head, then went to look for Ke Xiaoli in the crowd.
On the way to find her, she saw Liu Juan, who was standing far away at the back of a crowd, looking at Deng Yuliang who was about to go into battle.
It seems that this woman cares about Deng Yuliang very much. Shen Xiaobei couldn't help but walk closer, wanting to take a few more looks at her.
