The man got angry too: "What do you mean? I'm just your friend?"
"Ha, let's break up. I've had enough of people like you."
The man left him behind and walked away quickly.
The woman watched her boyfriend leave, feeling angry. He hadn't said anything wrong; wasn't that person just showing off on purpose? What was wrong with him saying a few words?
Song Yun helped Shen Bai sit down and gently coaxed him.
"Don't be angry, I'll teach you how to use mobile payment."
【snort. 】
Shen Bai was angry. The giant squid always lied to him, saying there was a lot of money in the card even though it couldn't be swiped.
Song Yun was annoyed; he should have explained things earlier, he was only focused on giving the card.
The only thing I can do is take out my phone and talk to him about mobile payment, so I can buy things anytime.
Shen Bai studied very diligently, even more so than when his master taught him.
Learn this skill so you can buy popcorn next time.
The popcorn smelled delicious, and when Shen Bai thought of that, his attention immediately went to the popcorn.
"You can eat some."
Shen Bai perked up upon hearing this, and he picked up a piece and popped it into his mouth.
[So sweet and crunchy!]
"This is all we can eat today, we can't buy any more."
Shen Baigang was still thinking of buying it again, but Song Yun saw through his thoughts.
"Goodness, if you want more, you can't eat this whole bucket."
Shen Bai pursed his lips.
[Bad guys always try to steal Xiaobai's treats.]
He turned to the side with the popcorn in his hand, not daring to mention buying another bucket of popcorn.
Song Yun reached out and gently pinched his nose:
"Little White is the best behaved."
Shen Bai turned away and ignored him, ate a popcorn, hesitated for a moment, then picked up another one and put it to Song Yun's mouth.
Song Yun ate with a smile, and Shen Bai smiled, his eyes crinkling.
Song Yun found it even funnier; he really had the temperament of a child, able to appease himself.
The movie was about to start, and Song Yun led Shen Bai inside.
He was holding two cups of cola in his hand; he had already finished the milk tea he had just drunk.
Today, Song Yun intentionally indulged him once, allowing him to drink a Coke.
After sitting down in the screening room, Song Yun placed the cola down.
They chose a seat in the middle, which was a bit more popular on the weekend, but it didn't really make a difference.
As the movie began, Shen Bai was drawn to the sound and visuals, while Song Yun would occasionally turn to look at Shen Bai.
Amidst the blooming February orchids covering the hillsides, a solitary grave stands out starkly.
This is an early film that celebrates love.
The 1970s was a conservative era; it was rare for two boys to be together, and there was no same-sex marriage law.
Shen Bai was drawn to the purple February orchids. In a long shot, a young man in a white shirt walked to the grave with a red rose in his hand.
The scene shifts to the production brigade leader and several villagers going to pick up the educated youth who have been sent to the countryside.
In the backward rural area, the villagers were all in high spirits and worked diligently.
Among the people who went to pick up the educated youth, the tall man stood out.
With a buzz cut, wheat-colored skin, and muscular build, he looked like a man who often worked in the fields.
In contrast, the young educated youth opposite him appeared exceptionally "petite".
Their eyes met, they exchanged names, and said goodbye with smiles.
However, the village's educated youth settlement had just collapsed and had not yet been repaired, so the educated youth were to be assigned to live with villagers.
The tall, burly man and the young educated youth looked at each other and, without prior arrangement, chose each other.
The man was an orphan with no relatives and had never seen the world outside the village.
The young educated youth had seen the world, but had never done farm work before, so the man taught him step by step.
When they got back at night, the man had to help the young educated youth apply medicine. The young educated youth's hands were covered with blisters on his first day of work, so the man had to help him wash clothes and cook...
This assistance lasted for two years.
The young educated youth would tell him about the outside world. He said he could play the zither and the piano, and that he would play them for him in the future.
He said a rose is beautiful, and that's how you look in my eyes, unique and irreplaceable.
He said there were many roses in the garden, but only you truly belonged to me.
"Baby, do you like roses?"
Song Yun spoke softly to Shen Bai, who nodded while keeping his eyes fixed on the movie screen.
Song Yun looked at him with a smile in his eyes. He was thinking, what would they do if they also lived in that era?
Will she resolutely stay with Shen Bai, or will she give up because of rumors and gossip?
A heated argument could be heard in the movie; it was the first time the young educated youth and the man had ever quarreled.
When the college entrance examination was reinstated, the man wanted to drive the young educated youth away and send him back to live in his city, but the young educated youth refused.
After the argument, they felt as if they wanted to etch the other into their very bones.
The young man in his early twenties picked up his books and began to study diligently. The two of them were admitted to the same city.
During their years at university, they had long since become each other's only one.
The relationship was eventually discovered by the young educated youth's family, and the two were forced to separate.
Three years later, the two became professors at the same university.
Their old feelings rekindled, and just like before, they became each other's partners, living a quiet and uneventful life for two years.
When they were discovered again, the two were scorned and vilified by everyone.
The young intellectuals were taken abroad, and they relied on a few letters a year to get by.
There wasn't a single tear in the entire film, yet many people in the theater were heard sobbing.
Shen Bai suddenly turned to look at Song Yun, her eyes watery, as if she had been moved by the atmosphere of the movie.
The film continues, and a letter from abroad shatters the man's inner defenses.
