Huo Beixiao's eyes deepened instantly, but he did not answer her question.
Jiang Qiaoqiao immediately added, "What I mean is, if you feel that this should be told to Jiang Yiran, but it's inconvenient for you to say it, I can do it."
Huo Beixiao frowned even more deeply, and the chill emanating from him intensified.
Instead of answering Jiang Qiaoqiao's question, he asked, "Are you very concerned about Qin Haiyang being with other people?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao: ...
What's the meaning?
She quickly realized that the man had misunderstood her as being jealous because she minded Qin Haiyang being with other women.
For some reason, her mood suddenly brightened.
With her eyes crinkling into crescents, she said with a smile, "I don't care about him. I was just wondering if you would feel sorry for Jiang Yiran and feel guilty towards her after seeing Qin Haiyang like this."
The chill emanating from Huo Beixiao melted away like ice and snow.
He reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair behind Jiang Qiaoqiao's ear, his deep voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of pleasure, "I might be troubled by a dream for a while, but I won't be confused a second time. Qiaoqiao, don't worry."
His last words were spoken with particular solemnity, as if he were making some kind of promise.
Jiang Qiaoqiao subconsciously looked up and met his deep eyes. Without thinking much, she obediently replied, "Yes, I'm not worried."
After eating the cold rice cake, Huo Beixiao took her to see a movie.
This was the first time Jiang Qiaoqiao had ever been to a movie theater in both her previous and current lives. In her younger days, she didn't have the means, and when she did, she lost interest in such things. In addition, with the advanced technology of her later life, the home theater experience was just as good as that of a movie theater, so she never thought about going to the movie theater.
"Wait here for me." When they arrived at the movie theater entrance, Huo Beixiao told Jiang Qiaoqiao before heading towards the stalls.
Just like the entrance to the roller skating rink, there were many food stalls outside the movie theater.
When Huo Beixiao returned, he was carrying a large pile of brown paper bags.
Peanuts, sunflower seeds, popcorn, preserved plums, candied fruit, old-fashioned cake, chestnut cake...
He bought almost every snack available at the night market stalls, and also carried a bottle of soda.
Jiang Qiaoqiao: ...
Why buy so much food?
“Taozi said that watching a movie takes two hours, and girls have small stomachs, eat little, get hungry quickly, and will get hungry,” Huo Beixiao replied seriously.
In fact, when Guo Tao spoke to him, he also shared his own painful experience.
He had been dating someone for two months, and both families thought it was a good relationship, so they started discussing marriage.
As a result, he went to see a movie with a girl and didn't prepare food for her beforehand.
The girl felt that he was inconsiderate and didn't know how to take care of people, so she simply stopped dating him.
Having learned a painful lesson from Guo Tao's experience, Huo Beixiao, adhering to the principle of "the more the better," bought everything for Jiang Qiaoqiao.
Jiang Qiaoqiao: ...
Things from this era are truly substantial.
She was already stuffed from that big bowl of cold rice cake.
However, since Huo Beixiao had already bought them, she wasn't the type to spoil the fun. She smiled and praised, "You're so thoughtful. And even if we can't finish them, we can take them back with us. Yangyang, Ling'er, and Xiao Guoqing love these snacks the most."
Looking at the joyful smile on her face, Huo Beixiao's lips never drooped all night.
Today, the movie theater is showing "Red Sorghum," a very famous film from the 1980s. Jiang Qiaoqiao had watched this movie alone in her home theater in her previous life. At that time, she had experienced many things and was no longer emotionally affected by this kind of story.
But in the movie theater, when she saw Jiu'er bring out Uncle Luohan's brewed Eighteen Mile Red wine for her friends to drink, and when they drank it and went to fight the Japanese devils with high morale, she couldn't help but feel excited too.
When she saw Jiu'er, who was going to reward Yu Zhan'ao and the others, being shot dead by Japanese machine guns, her heart ached.
When she finally saw Yu Zhan'ao crawling towards Jiu'er's body, and Jiu'er's son singing a nursery rhyme, "Mother, go to the southwest, a wide road, a long treasure ship," the movie theater was filled with sobs, and her eyes also reddened.
She even found herself involuntarily shedding tears.
Seeing her cry, Huo Beixiao frantically tried to comfort her, "Qiaoqiao, don't cry, don't cry, I'll never take you to see movies like this again..."
While he was frantically wiping away her tears, Jiang Qiaoqiao suddenly hugged his neck.
She sniffed, her voice still muffled from crying, and said, "Bei Xiao, thank you."
After being reborn, she has been living in an effort to change her fate from her previous life.
It's as if she has been reborn, but her soul is still continuing the soul from her previous life.
But today, Huo Beixiao showed her how young people should live, making her heart beat vividly again.
Huo Beixiao hesitated for a moment, then put his large, dry, warm hand around her shoulder and patted her gently like he was comforting a child. "No need to thank me."
After suppressing her excitement, Jiang Qiaoqiao realized that her behavior just now was somewhat inappropriate.
She quickly let go of Huo Beixiao, wiped away her tears, and looked around somewhat embarrassedly.
They then realized that they weren't the only couples unable to contain their emotions and hugging each other; many couples in the movie theater were also hugging, and many girls had red, teary eyes as their partners comforted them.
Jiang Qiaoqiao withdrew her gaze and subconsciously glanced at Huo Beixiao.
Blushing slightly embarrassed, she said, "Let's go."
Back in the car, Huo Beixiao drove while Jiang Qiaoqiao carried a pile of snacks in brown paper bags.
Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't eat any snacks while watching the movie; she took them out the same way she brought them into the theater.
Jiang Qiaoqiao sealed each of the brown paper bags one by one. While sealing the candied fruit, she took one and popped it into her mouth.
Mmm, so sweet!
Back at the hotel, it was already quite late. After washing up, the two went to sleep.
The next day, Jiang Qiaoqiao was eager to return to Yun County, so she didn't dare to sleep in. When she saw Huo Beixiao get up next to her, she got up as well.
After packing her things, Jiang Qiaoqiao put on another lake-blue georgette dress and went out.
I never expected to run into Tong Xuejiao at the hotel reception.
Today, Tong Xuejiao wore a bright orange dress, sunglasses on her head, and leaned against the front desk, her posture clearly indicating that she was waiting for them.
Jiang Qiaoqiao walked towards her confidently and asked with a smile, "Sister Tong, are you coming back to Yun County with us?"
"Go back!" Tong Xuejiao answered without hesitation, then looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao and said, "Don't call me Sister Tong anymore, it sounds better to call me Sister Xuejiao."
