Chapter 30030 Chu Song Sweet Date
Chu Song replied: "Of course, no problem. I'm a man of my word."
Liang Jiayao had originally intended to be reserved and act like a gentleman, but he wasn't cut out for that. Instead, he said eagerly, "So when are we leaving? I'll take you to dinner first."
Chu Song was at a loss for words. Not to mention the time, she didn't know whether the street restaurant provided meals or not. Even if it did, she wasn't hungry. She had just finished lunch and hadn't digested the food yet.
In the past, Chu Song would definitely give him a gift package of "read but not reply" for such a stupid straight guy's way of picking up girls.
But now, she said politely, "I usually have dinner around six o'clock. It's too early now. Let's go to the movies first, shall we?"
Liang Jiayao wasn't actually hungry, so he didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement.
The cinema is not far from the police station, only a ten-minute walk away. There are not many movies available at this time, and most of them are red-themed. Chu Song is not very interested in it and just watches it for the sake of novelty.
Liang Jiayao, on the other hand, often went to the movies. This was his first time watching a movie with a member of the opposite sex, so he asked, "What do you want to see?" in a rare gentlemanly manner.
Chu Song really couldn't pick out anything good to watch, so he just pointed at one at random. Liang Jiayao went to buy the tickets and came back with two boxes of popcorn in his hands.
Chu Song was a little surprised. He didn't expect that popcorn had become a standard item for watching movies decades ago.
Two people checked our tickets before entering. The cinema in the small county town in the 1970s was not big, and could only accommodate about 30 people. There were not many people coming to watch the movie, just a few scattered around. From the deliberately lowered voices of their conversations, one could tell that they were basically young people with some spare money in their pockets. As it was not yet showtime, the room was pitch black.
As soon as the two sat down, the movie started.
Chu Song was watching the plot seriously at first, but he got bored as he went on. Compared with later Hollywood blockbusters, today's movies are really boring. Not only are the pictures blurry, the camera keeps shaking, and the sound effects and special effects are also crude and shoddy.
Chu Song finished the popcorn in his hand and soon fell drowsy.
Although Liang Jiayao kept his eyes on the screen, his attention was actually on Chu Song. Seeing her lower her head and start pecking at rice like a chicken, he felt a little itchy in his heart. He tilted his neck for a long time, waiting for someone to come over.
He waited and waited but nothing happened. Instead, he was the one who got embarrassed because of his excessive imagination.
Liang Jiayao: "..."
Seeing Chu Song about to fall to the other side, Liang Jiayao subconsciously reached out to support him. After a moment, he felt like a malicious gangster, and guiltily used a finger to push the man towards him.
Chu Song was actually awakened when Liang Jiayao supported her, but her consciousness was still a little confused. In addition, her soul was once the battle-hardened sea king, so she didn't resist much.
She thought to herself that it would be no harm to raise a few more fish, as Liang Jiayao’s fish were of good quality.
So, she closed her eyes and leaned on the man's shoulder. She originally wanted to pretend, but she didn't expect that she would actually fall asleep later.
A movie ends.
Chu Song was soundly asleep, while Liang Jiayao stood with his back straight, not daring to move, until the ticket seller came to clean up the place and saw the two dark figures and spoke in a bad mood.
"You two, the movie's over, why are you sneaking around and lingering around? Seriously, if you want excitement, go find it somewhere else!"
In the past, Young Master Liang would have refused to tolerate it and would have argued back. He paid for the ticket, so what's wrong with waiting a little longer?
But now, his face flushed red, and he didn't dare to say a word. He pulled Chu Song, who had just woken up from sleep, and walked out of the house in dejection.
Chu Song yawned and let him lead the way obediently.
Liang Jiayao didn't realize something was wrong until he walked out of the cinema. In a panic, he held hands with someone!
The first time holding hands with a girl... Liang Jiayao was stunned for a few seconds. It felt soft and warm, and he could even feel the bulge of the bones.
He felt as if he was burned, and his hands trembled. He wanted to shake it off, but was worried that it would appear too artificial, so he pretended to be calm and slowly let go of Chu Song's hand.
"You just fell asleep. Don't you like this kind of movie? We can watch something else next time."
Next time? Chu Song didn't mind at all. She nodded and said suddenly, "Are you attracted to me and want to pursue me?"
Liang Jiayao was almost choked to death by his own saliva. He coughed violently twice, his voice distorted: "You, you, you're talking nonsense, I didn't, I'm not that kind of person!"
"No?" Chu Song didn't believe it.
Liang Jiayao tried to explain: "No, I wasn't tempted by her beauty. I'm not that kind of vulgar person."
It was true that he had a good impression of the person, but it was not because of lust. He remembered that the first time he saw her in Luhua Brigade, he felt a sense of dazzle—not because of her face, but because of her temperament.
Arrogant, clever, cunning... If Liang Jiayao had to describe her, he would say: She is so special.
In short, he is not a superficial person who only looks at appearance.
Chu Song didn't believe it. Bah, he clearly had a scumbag face. If she remembered correctly, this was only the second time they met.
Was it not lust after her beauty, but rather her inner qualities? Although she did feel that her soul was sparkling, one in a million!
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Liang Jiayao said anxiously: "I look in the mirror every day."
"so?"
"I already look pretty good."
Chu Song: “…”
Well, objectively speaking, he does have a superior bone structure, is born with a pair of sparkling and affectionate peach blossom eyes, and has good taste in clothes. He is a trendy and cool boy who can rock the streets if he is taken out.
But! Chu Song was still unhappy. Compared with him, she looked like a country girl.
Liang Jiayao didn't realize he was treading on a dangerous path, and said seriously, "So I don't care about other people's appearance. I value deeper things and focus on soul communication."
He thought to himself that girls probably prefer mature and stable men, and he couldn't let himself appear too superficial and childish.
Chu Song smiled: "Sorry, I'm a superficial person."
Liang Jiayao: "..."
He quickly retracted what he had just said and abruptly changed the subject: "Haha, there are candy figures for sale over there. Are you hungry? Let's go buy some candy figures."
Chu Song was indeed a superficial person, so for the sake of the sugar man, she temporarily forgave him.
After buying the candy figures, Liang Jiayao wanted to invite Chu Song to continue the city walk. As a mature street walker, he knew best where the fun things to do in Huangxi County were.
Chu Song was very tempted, then looked at the sky and shook his head to refuse: "That's enough for today, it's too late, I should go home."
Chu Song was not afraid of anyone except Ye Xiuzhi, perhaps because of the bloodline suppression. He was late and deserved to be scolded.
Although Liang Jiayao felt a little regretful, he didn't want to be too ungraceful, so he could only watch the person leave.
Chu Song returned a little late. She had been "missing" the entire afternoon and had expected a reprimand. Instead of being scolded, Ye Xiuzhi smiled and pulled her to sit down. "You're back! Are you tired? I'll peel you an apple."
Chu Song's face was horrified: "I just came back a little late, my crime is not punishable by death. Are you going to feed me a poisoned apple?"
Chai Xueqi pinched her thigh and finally held back her laughter. Ye Xiuzhi's face had completely darkened. She always complained that she was her stepmother, but when she was really nice to her, she started to sneer again.
Ye Xiuzhi rolled her eyes: "You like it or not."
Chu Song: That’s just right.
"Little sister, we all know." Chai Xueqi explained, "You went to catch a thief today. Just now, a director from the hospital came to look for you, but you were not there."
"What do you want from me?"
"Of course it's a commendation. You are getting rid of a pest for the people!" Chai Xueqi said with inexplicable pride.
Ye Xiuzhi also said proudly: "I guess you didn't embarrass me."
Chu Song roughly understood the whole story after hearing this, and couldn't help but curl his tail again: "Alas, there's nothing I can do. This is what happens when people are too outstanding. When they see injustice, they will shout and take action when necessary."
Ye Xiuzhi snorted coldly: "Look at you showing off like that!"
But no matter what, Ye Xiuzhi and Chai Xueqi were happy in their hearts. They had been digging for food in the fields all their lives and had never experienced such "glory". Although the credit went to Chu Song, as family members, they could also share in the glory.
The next day, the director who had come the day before came again and brought a can of malted milk, saying that it was to commend the "brave little soldier". Malted milk is a good thing and is suitable for both the elderly and children.
Yes.
After a night of fermentation, the story of Chu Song's brave fight against the pickpocket had spread throughout the hospital. People of that era were particularly simple and had high ideological awareness, so they specially gave Chu Song a nickname - brave little warrior!
Chu Song refused at first, but later accepted it calmly. Okay, let’s be a soldier.
Ye Xiuzhi grinned from ear to ear, pretending to refuse several times before happily accepting the malted milk. After all, it was a commendation, so why not refuse it? It was well-deserved, and she didn't owe anyone a favor.
The director praised Chu Song a few more times. As soon as she left, Liang Jiayao came. This time he was dressed well and looked serious, and he also brought gifts.
"Aunt Ye, it's been a long time since we last met. I just found out you were in town, otherwise I would have come to visit you a long time ago." Liang Jiayao said this without feeling guilty, his face full of enthusiasm.
Ye Xiuzhi recognized him as the policeman from before, and felt that they were not that familiar with each other, but since one should not hit someone who smiles at them, she smiled and said a few polite words.
Liang Jiayao pushed the bag in his hand over: "This is a little gift for Auntie."
"Oh, no, I can't have this."
Since they were not related, Ye Xiuzhi was not willing to accept his things and quickly refused. Seeing that she did not accept them, Liang Jiayao explained that these were not bought by him, but by everyone in the police station to commend Chu Song for his bravery yesterday.
This statement was actually full of loopholes, but the previous director who delivered the malted milk had just left, so Ye Xiuzhi didn't suspect anything at all. She just secretly sighed in her heart: City people are generous!
She gave Chu Song an approving look.
Chu Song: "..." She said she was smart, but Liang Jiayao could deceive her.
Ye Xiuzhi accepted the things and politely asked everyone to sit down. Liang Jiayao didn't really come to visit anyone, but he was mainly itching to kidnap Chu Song.
After chatting absentmindedly for a few minutes, he finally couldn't hold back and said, "Auntie, actually, I came here for something else. The police station still needs Comrade Chu Song's cooperation to solve the case. Please take over the specific details..."
He talked a lot of nonsense, but Ye Xiuzhi foolishly believed it.
"Hey, kid, why didn't you tell me earlier? I won't delay your work. Xianxian, go with Comrade Xiao Liang and cooperate with him."
Chu Song: “…”
well.
The two men walked out of the hospital. Liang Jiayao was a little proud of himself for successfully kidnapping the person with his own "cleverness".
"Come on, I'll take you to a nice place."
"where?"
Liang Jiayao kept it a secret: "You'll know when you get there."
Chu Song: "Okay."
The place Liang Jiayao took her to looked like a teahouse from the outside, but after entering, she found that it was a different world inside. It sold both newspapers and tea, and there were several small tables next to it with playing cards and dice on them.
Chu Song understood immediately, it was a 1970s version of an entertainment venue.
"play cards?"
Liang Jiayao nodded. This was one of his usual pastimes and entertainments. He often played it with a few friends... no, like-minded friends.
But Liang Jiayao was a little worried that she didn't like it. He secretly glanced at her and found that she was not unhappy, but rather eager to try it. He immediately felt relieved.
Liang Jiayao introduced them, "These are Lao Gui and Datou. They're nice people and we often get together to play."
The old ghost lived up to his name, small and thin, but very shrewd. He rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Liang, this is... my sister-in-law?"
When Datou heard this, he stood up honestly and wanted to bow: "Hello, sister-in-law."
Before Chu Song expressed his opinion, Liang Jiayao blushed, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, as if he was trying to cover up his mistake.
"Stop talking nonsense! If you keep asking me to knock your heads off, where did you get your sister-in-law? It's not..."
No, Laogui and Datou understood immediately and gave each other ambiguous glances.
Chu Song had already found a seat and sat down. He rolled the dice in a very stylish manner before saying, "My name is Chu Song. Song means singing praises. You can just call me by my name."
"Okay, Sister Xiaosong." Lao Gui changed the address accordingly.
He obviously didn't dare to call his "sister-in-law" by her name, as it was disrespectful to his "brother", but calling her "sister" wasn't quite right either, as she didn't look very old, even younger than him, so he settled for calling her "Sister Xiaosong".
Friendly yet polite, hehe.
Chu Song had no objection to this and asked, "What do you usually play and what's your style of play?"
When Lao Gui heard this, he immediately became energetic and enthusiastically introduced to others how they usually played.
Liang Jiayao was a little concerned about the address, but now he didn't have time to feel resentful. He quickly asked the boss for a pot of tea and food, then turned sideways and squeezed in between Chu Song and Lao Gui.
Liang Jiayao explained the rules of the game to Chu Song, which was similar to playing Landlord. Chu Song remembered it after listening to it once. She rolled up her sleeves and threatened to beat all three of them down.
Lao Gui and Datou originally thought that the sister-in-law was a delicate girl. If she lost too badly, she would be sad and it would be difficult to deal with. If it really didn't work, they could only let her win quietly.
Hearing her say this, they immediately became excited. Stop bragging, it’s still unclear who will defeat whom!
They are all playboys. When they get together, they have similar interests and no one dislikes anyone else.
After playing a few rounds, everyone realized that something was wrong. Chu Song's methods were cruel and ruthless. He didn't look like a novice at all. Instead, he looked like a brutal devil. He really beat Lao Gui and Datou back step by step.
Lao Gui's face was filled with disbelief: "No, Sister Xiao Song, is this really your first time playing this?"
Except for the first game, when she was not familiar with the rules, she never lost in the following games!
Chu Song said arrogantly: "Of course, there is no other way, I am gifted."
If this isn't genius, then what is?! Led by Liang Jiayao, several people started to give him a round of praise.
Chu Song had a lot of fun and was flattered by the praise. After being a little country girl for so long, she finally got back some of her old feelings.
Until a soft and hesitant voice sounded behind him.
"...Chu Song?"
