Their souls are each other

The sixty-dollar room fee instantly dispelled the evil thoughts that had just popped up in Shen Roujiao's heart. It was too damn expensive to sleep with Zhou Huaiyue at the Peace Hotel.

How expensive is it?

First, at that time, ordinary people had no access to foreign exchange. Traveling abroad or shopping abroad was non-existent. Even if you were sponsored to study abroad or go on an inspection trip abroad, you had to apply for foreign exchange quotas from the state.

Secondly, the black market exchange rate was as high as eight to ten at the time, which means that to exchange sixty U.S. dollars, you would need five or six hundred yuan.

Considering that an employee at Sanhua Pharmaceutical Factory earns 20 yuan a month, it means that sleeping like Zhou Huaiyue does is equivalent to the employee working for two or three years for nothing.

The most important thing is that they don’t have a marriage certificate, so they can’t sleep in the same room even if they pay.

As she thought about it, she cracked herself up.

"The menu is funny?" Zhou Huaiyue, who was sitting opposite, asked puzzledly as he looked at Shen Roujiao who was grinning.

"I don't understand." The single menu had no pictures or Chinese characters, it was all in English. In an age when everyone is learning Russian, she probably couldn't understand it.

But Shen Roujiao, who was able to understand, looked from beginning to end and did not see the word steak, only beef steak.

Zhou Huaiyue followed suit with a smile, "No need to understand, we'll eat whatever is served."

In those days, people only bought some pork during the Chinese New Year. The supply of beef was pitifully small, and it was not easy to eat a piece of beef. As for steak, it was really wishful thinking.

But there was still a sense of ceremony. After the waiter took the menu, he laid out the beautiful knives, forks, spoons, white porcelain plates and napkins, and brought two glasses of ice water with ice cubes floating in them.

Shen Roujiao just put the cup to her lips, but Zhou Huaiyue held her hand back, "It's too cold, don't drink it."

Not only was the water not allowed to be touched, even the glass was taken away by him.

"? I want to drink." She stared at the two pieces of ice, pursed her lips, and looked unhappy.

"Coldness harms the spleen and stomach and affects the circulation of qi and blood. I'll get you a glass of warm water." As he spoke, he raised his hand and the waiter quickly brought two glasses of warm water.

!

Is this what it’s like to have a Chinese medicine boyfriend?

The best medical resources, a private doctor available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, will see you and watch over you for the rest of your life.

Ice cola, ice American coffee, stay away from you forever.

Oh, no!

"Who else have you brought here?"

From the moment he entered the room till now, Zhou Huaiyue had behaved very well, at least it was not his first time here. Shen Roujiao, who was afraid of ruining the atmosphere and did not want to ask more questions, got upset because of the two pieces of ice.

"?" He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, leaned back in his chair and smiled, "I'm angry. There will be ice cream later, don't you want to eat it?"

Seeing her eyes suddenly light up, Zhou Huaiyue continued, "It's not that I don't allow you to eat, just try to eat less cold food, okay."

"Okay." Hearing the word ice cream, what's the point of a bicycle? Shen Roujiao's face instantly turned sunny, and she also started thinking about Zhou Huaiyue's share.

"Roujiao," he leaned forward, stretched out his hand, palm up, looked at her and pointed at her palm. Shen Roujiao immediately got it and happily handed her little hand over, which was held tightly by Zhou Huaiyue.

He said with a serious expression, "Earlier, Ji Mingyuan and I invited the director of the machinery factory to have dinner here; later, I invited Kunlun's chief engineer to come here. She studied in Russia for many years, and our automatic production line was designed by her."

Shen Roujiao's intuition set off alarm bells in her heart.

Zhou Huaiyue, who never wastes words, suddenly spoke in such detail, which shows that he was not stating but explaining.

Why explain?

He was afraid she would misunderstand him.

Why are you afraid that she will misunderstand?

The other party is a young woman.

"So," Shen Roujiao's smile disappeared from her eyes. She tried to pull her hand back a few times, but not only did she fail, he held it tighter. "I shouldn't care about her youth and beauty, right?"

"It's not her. She is about the same age as Ms. Zhenhua." Zhou Huaiyue looked calm, with no signs of emotion.

!

What do you mean?

Is there a third person?

"That day, she came with her daughter, and we spoke a few words to each other. It was nothing, but since you asked, I wanted to tell you." He didn't want to lie to her, even if it was a well-intentioned concealment.

!

really.

You can guess what chief engineer means just by thinking with your heels.

Zhou Huaiyue, who is of marriageable age, has good looks, ability and money, and is a popular commodity.

Things like "which two sentences" must be thoroughly investigated.

"The first sentence was hello, and the second was that I wanted to buy a car for my girlfriend." Seeing her frown, Zhou Huaiyue explained, "We were chatting about learning to drive during dinner, and I told her the truth that I wanted to buy you a car."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other person immediately understood: he already has a partner, so don't worry about it.

"Huaiyue, excellent people are liked by others, you know. So you, have to be a little fierce," Shen Roujiao said as she raised her hand. She touched Zhou Huaiyue's eyebrows with her fingertips and moved slightly downwards. His eyebrows slightly raised and his face looked a little fierce.

"More fierce," she continued, her eyebrows raised, her face indeed became much fiercer, she nodded with satisfaction, "then they will all be scared away. Acting fierce and ugly will ensure safety, do you understand?"

"!" Zhou Huaiyue was amused. She had so many little words in her head, one after another. He deliberately made a face, "Is that so?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Looking at his face dressed as Monkey King, Shen Roujiao smiled happily, brilliant and bright. Just like the dazzling warm sun, it can dispel all the haze. People who have not seen it will not understand.

She was smiling, and he was smiling too. There was a gleam in each other's eyes. Dopamine was secreted crazily, killing all the moments of heart-pounding excitement in an instant.

The amazing resonance can only be felt when you find the right person.

It turns out that there is a kind of unity of body and mind that transcends physical pleasure: resonance of spirit and soul, satisfaction in every frown and smile.

Everyone's soul has a place to go, and their souls are each other.

So much so that, in the subconscious of both of them, all their intimacy started from this day and was extremely pleasurable.

It was not until the waiter brought the cod, beef, salad, coffee and cocktails to the table that the two of them recovered from their excited and confused state.

There were ice cubes in the fruit cocktail, so Zhou Huaiyue only allowed her to take a sip. But someone cheated and drank half of the glass in one gulp. Zhou Huaiyue was angry and amused, looking at her provocative eyes lovingly, and deliberately said with a sullen face: "I wanted to give you my vanilla ice cream, but now forget it."

Shen Roujiao picked up the tender and smooth beef cubes from the plate and stuffed them into his mouth. "No, you're just talking."

At this moment, Zhou Huaiyue felt that falling into her hands in his life was both a joke from heaven and a reward from fate, like a dream.

In a corner where no light could be seen, he found his own light, which was enough to illuminate his entire life journey.

Not far away, someone also saw it. It turns out that love is more interesting when you watch others talk about it.

"Young boss!" a voice followed.

"Brother Zhang?" Shen Roujiao was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

Zhou Huaiyue turned around following the voice and saw Zhang Qingjie, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, walking towards him. He was wearing a black jacket and jeans, with his hair curled, and was definitely a stylish young man.

"Hello, young lovers!" Zhang Qingjie pulled out a chair next to him and sat down.

"Why are you here?" she asked.

It has been more than a year since we last met by chance on the streets of their Xiaonanchuan City, and I never expected to meet him here again.

"There's a new play casting, come and meet the director. She and my friend are in the box, let's join us." Zhang Qingjie pointed behind him.

......

Pushing open the door of the private room, Zhang Qingjie said mysteriously to the people in the room: "Lily, guess who I saw? You won't guess it even if you guess ten times."

Wang Li made a series of wild guesses, and finally looked at the young man next to her and guessed, "It can't be Director Xie!"

"How could that be? My dad is scouting locations in Inner Mongolia."

"Sister Wang Li!" Shen Roujiao suddenly jumped out from behind Zhang Qingjie, giving her a big surprise.

"Little boss!"

Meeting an old friend in a foreign country, the two hugged each other excitedly. She said she came here for an audition, she said she saw the movie poster, and they couldn't stop talking.

"Who is this?" The young man asked, looking at Zhou Huaiyue who was following behind him.

"He, that guy's boyfriend." Zhang Qingjie pointed at Shen Roujiao and said with a smile, "He used to run a snack stand in front of our factory."

As he spoke, he walked up to the two beauties, put his arms around their shoulders, and said with a proud look, "The fate of the three of us started with eating."

"Wait a minute." The self-familiar young man pointed his index finger in the air, looking confident, "It's not the skewers and stinky tofu you always talk about."

"It was her. Her cooking skills were excellent, and I still remember the taste of her sweet potato cakes. It's a pity that she is now the director of a pharmaceutical factory, running a big pharmaceutical business. She has closed the snack stand a long time ago." Zhang Qingjie praised with real emotion, hitting all the key points.

"What, a pharmaceutical factory? That's impressive. You three really live up to the saying, 'It's not about where a hero comes from.'" The young man raised his thumb and glanced at the three of them one by one.

Only then did Shen Roujiao see the young man in front of her clearly. Good guy, good guy, isn't this the famous international director Xie Yunli? I never thought that the director was quite handsome when he was young.

His famous work Red Sun won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, the highest international honor for a Chinese film at the time. He became an instant hit, and all his films became huge hits, winning numerous international awards.

The love-hate relationship between Xie Yunli and actress Wen Ya is even more exciting than the movie.

"Hello, Shen Roujiao." She extended her hand first.

"Hello, Xie Yunli."

Oh my god, I was so excited that my hands were shaking. "Are you really friends with Brother Zhang?" Even though she was holding the director's hand, Shen Roujiao still couldn't believe it.

She knew that Zhang Qingjie was capable and a social toughie who could strike up a conversation with anyone. He was very supportive, generous and open-minded, always cheerful, and it was never dull or awkward to be with him. He was a natural for the entertainment industry.

It was too unexpected that I became friends with the future great director right away.

"Well, he turned on the lights and I took the photos, and we both loved to join in the fun, so we became pretty familiar with each other after a while." At that time, he was still working as a photographer.

Xie Yunli thought this Miss Shen was interesting. He had already let go of her hand, but she still held it tightly. Her partner stared at her hand with a cold face, but she didn't notice.

"Hello, Zhou Huaiyue." Unable to bear it any longer, he finally used this excuse to force Shen Roujiao to let go of his hand.
