Chapter 122 Xiao Niang Niang (in Qiao Fei's hometown dialect, it means beautiful little girl)

Qiao Fei was stunned, watching Shu Chengan return to his seat and turn around to talk to the person next to him.

She glanced at Wen Zhile and breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Shu Cheng'an was really going to hang himself on her tree, but now it seemed that was not the case.

"You're back so soon, cousin?"

"There's nothing much to say between us." Xu Xiujie's voice on the stage made him feel upset. Shu Cheng'an looked at his fingers with melancholy, "Zhizhi, your cousin's happiness in the future depends on you."

"Qiao Fei doesn't want to see me, so I'd better stop bothering her."

"It's my fault that I didn't grow up to be like Xu Xiujie."

Wen Zhile was originally watching a performance, but after hearing it, he turned around in surprise.

"Cousin, are you serious?"

In her previous life, Wen Zhile spent most of her days off at school or at her grandmother's house, and completely missed the process of her cousin pursuing his cousin's wife. Thanks to her rebirth, she now knows how humble Shu Cheng'an was when he pursued Qiao Fei.

"What's so good about Xu Xiujie? He's not as good-looking as you."

"I hate men like him the most, really my cousin."

Shu Cheng'an patted her hair and glanced towards the stage.

"I really like her."

Wen Zhile: "Why?"

This question stumped him. Shu Chengan thought for five or six minutes before he spoke uncertainly, "Are you attracted by her beauty? She has grown into my heart."

"..." Wen Zhile smiled and said nothing.

She glanced at Qiao Fei, and their eyes met.

Wen Zhile curled her lips in a friendly manner and turned back calmly.

My cousin’s wife is really beautiful.

She is the kind of beautiful girl who has a bookish air, is well-educated, slim and fair. She is obviously the mainstay of the drama troupe, but her temperament is like that of a very professional ballet dancer. She is also the type who is well-read and has grown up immersed in ink since childhood.

In this regard, she and Wen Zhile are at two extremes. Qiao Fei reminds people of the smell of ink at first sight, and her pair of droopy round eyes give off a sense of innocence. But now, Wen Zhile, at first sight, makes people think of a rich woman built with money, gentle but extravagant.

Even if you don't know her, you can guess that this girl has had the best food, clothing and other necessities since she was a child.

Thanks to the efforts of the Shu family, the Wen family and herself, the "mark" left by the sixteen years of torture she had endured in the Dai family in this life had been completely erased, and not even a trace could be seen.

After the play ended, Shu Cheng'an went outside to wait for her.

After the audience left, Qin Anbang took Wen Zhile to the backstage, while Xu Xiujie and other actors were waiting there.

He was invited by Miao Yun to give his opinions on their play today. After everyone gathered, he began to express his suggestions. Wen Zhile stood aside and listened quietly, his eyes moving back and forth between Qiao Fei, Xu Xiujie and other female comrades present who came in later.

She knew in her previous life that Xu Xiujie was a promiscuous man who had emotional entanglements with several actresses in the troupe, and several girls outside the troupe were also deceived by him.

Xu Xiujie wanted to pick out the girl who could help him the most and marry her like he was selecting a concubine.

In her previous life, when her cousin’s wife had given up on Xu Xiujie, she saw Xu Xiujie coming to Peking University to look for someone. She only saw the girl’s back, but she knew from her clothes that she had a complicated background.

That girl should be the one finally chosen by Xu Xiujie.

Later, her cousin's wife told her that she gave up because Xu Xiujie said he was getting engaged to a top student from Peking University.

"Uncle Qin," Wen Zhile whispered between Qin Anbang's words, "I'm going to talk to my friend."

She walked towards Qiao Fei and pointed outside with a smile. Qiao Fei was a little surprised, but still went out with her.

The stage is connected to the troupe's office. Going out from the backstage and walking through the corridor you will enter the troupe's office area.

There is a large yard outside, with many maple trees planted on both sides of the road, and it's a sea of ​​red everywhere you look.

Wen Zhile stopped beside the tree and turned around, her expression excited: "Sister Qiao, I've seen many of your plays and I like you so much. Can you sign an autograph for me? My grandma likes you too, and I want to give her a surprise."

Qiao Fei took the pen and notebook handed to her by Wen Zhile in surprise.

The little girl smiled and said, "Today's play is really good. It would be even better if you played the leading female role."

"It's a pity I forgot to bring my camera, otherwise I could take a photo with you and show it to grandma." She looked dejected. After signing her name, Qiao Fei looked up and was slightly stunned.

She had seen many young women because of her work, but it was the first time she had seen someone as distressing as Wen Zhile when she was depressed. Qiao Fei couldn't help but comfort her: "I have photos."

She took out a freshly taken photo from her pocket and said, "I got this from the photo studio this morning. I'll give it to you."

Wen Zhile's eyes lit up: "Thank you so much, Sister Xiao Qiao."

She then looked at the photo eagerly: "You are so kind, I don't know how to thank you."

"You're welcome." Qiao Fei's eyes were crooked and she spoke with a Jiangnan accent, slow and sticky, completely different from northerners.

"Sister Qiao, comrade! Director Miao and screenwriter Qin are looking for you."

Someone came up from behind and told them to go back.

Qiao Fei said, "Let's go. I have developed a lot of photos. I don't need this one. You don't have to worry about it."

Wen Zhile agreed to what she said. It was their first formal meeting, so she didn't show too much.

Qin Anbang waited for her and prepared to leave. Before leaving, Wen Zhile specifically said "see you next time" to Qiao Fei.

After sending them away, Miao Yun called Qiao Fei away: "Xiao Qiao, do you know that girl?"

Qiao Fei: “We are acquaintances.”

Miao Yun: "I see that she has a good relationship with Comrade Shu who often comes to see you. I wonder what kind of relationship they have. What do you think?"

Qiao Fei was helpless: "Director Miao, I don't have any idea about Comrade Shu. It's none of my business who he is in a relationship with. Remember to say no to that. I won't go on a blind date."

Miao Yun was troubled by her stubbornness: "Why are you so stubborn? Comrade Shu is good-looking, has a good personality, is good at work, and likes you so much. His family background is also the best in Jingzhou City. Why do you look down on him?"

"I'm really curious about what kind of man can catch your eye."

Qiao Fei smiled nonchalantly: "I know what's going on."

"Zhizhi, do you have any plans next?" Qin Anbang asked after leaving the theater.

Wen Zhile: "Uncle Qin, what do you want to say? Please tell me."

Qin Anbang took off his glasses and wiped the lenses: "This is a long story. If you have time, I'll invite you to sit in the cafe and talk slowly. If you don't have time, I'll go to your house another day to talk."

Wen Zhile could guess what he wanted to say.

"Then I'll leave first. Uncle Qin, I'll be waiting for you at home."

Qin Anbang smiled and said, "Okay, bye."

"Where are we going?" Shu Cheng'an drove.

Wen Zhile took out the photo and shook it: "Sister Qiao has already made arrangements, cousin, you have to treat me to a movie."

Shu Chengan suddenly became more serious: "Qiao Fei's photo?"

"You have become friends with Qiao Fei? This speed is as fast as Sprint, cousin, you are this." He raised his thumb and drove to the cinema in the city center.

"We're not friends yet, but I'm sure."

"If you don't want to annoy her, then don't go. I'll help you gain favor with Miss Qiao."

Since he doesn't go, I'll have to go myself. I must pair them up.

In this life, my cousin’s legs are fine and he got a promotion. They will be happier than in his previous life.

The cinema showed two movies in the morning, one was a crime film and the other was a foreign animated film called "the fox and the hound".

Wen Zhile didn't like watching heavy movies. As soon as he saw the title, he handed the money in through the window and said to the ticket seller, "Comrade, give me two cartoons."

"It's just right for lunch after the show." After receiving the tickets, Wen Zhile handed one to Shu Chengan, and the two walked in side by side.

"It would be better if Brother Huai left a day later. We could watch a movie together." Shu Cheng'an couldn't help but sigh.

As the last syllable fell, Wen Zhile's smiling face drooped.

After yesterday, she deliberately avoided thinking about the fact that she wouldn't be able to see Zhou Jihuai for half a year, because the slightest thought about it would make her feel a little uncomfortable, just a little bit, and although it wasn't a serious problem, it was very torturous.

It was that sour and sad feeling, making the whole person lose energy. It was the first time in Wen Zhile's life that he had such a feeling. He felt unfamiliar and panicked, but everything would be fine as long as he ignored it. This is commonly known as covering one's ears to steal the bell.
