Chapter 39

No one cares whether the person sitting next to you is a friend or someone you don’t get along with.

Everyone was just staring at the screen with great interest. The crowd was so dense that no one was willing to speak.

Such pictures are full of feelings unique to this era.

Only Lin Wanyu couldn’t help but look back at Song Sichen several times. After being glared at by the people behind her several times, she finally stopped.

Jiang Sui crossed her arms and sighed from the bottom of her heart.

Although the villagers lack entertainment options, their emotions are truly pure.

The war film was over, and during the interval between film changes, only strong light was shining on the blank screen.

Some people put their hands in front of the light bulb and made shadow puppets during this interval.

Little rabbits and birds jumped up one by one, and their vivid appearance immediately aroused cheers from the villagers.

There was a chubby little boy who bravely ran up to Jiang Sui and asked her.

“Sister Jiang Sui, what movie are you going to play next?”

Jiang Sui found the film she was going to use, and couldn’t help but smile when she heard it. She didn’t keep the topic in suspense and just said it directly.

“The movie we’re going to show is ‘The Monkey King 3: The White-Bone Demon’.”

As soon as the title of this film came out, it was immediately greeted with cheers from the children.

Journey to the West is a very classic play. Adults have basically watched it many times. Although they are not as excited as the little ones, they are also very interested.

The scene, which was noisy just now, became quiet again as the movie started.

Jiang Sui stared at the curtain, her eyes sparkling.

She was the only person standing in the room, and her face was particularly clear under the incandescent light.

Song Sichen sat at the outermost edge of the crowd, even further back than the projectionist herself.

His eyes casually fell on the movie that was playing.

As he watched, he couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Sui who was standing next to him, his eyes particularly deep.

After a whole day of getting along.

Song Sichen discovered that Jiang Sui now was really different from her before.

Could it be that he was really wrong, and Jiang Sui was not as difficult to get along with as he thought?

Song Sichen closed his eyes. All the bad things Jiang Sui had done to him before were still clearly in his mind.

He also told himself countless times that his marriage with her was just a temporary solution, and even she herself said so.

Regardless of whether Jiang Sui deceived him or not, he was in this position and absolutely could not waver.

Jiang Sui didn’t notice Song Sichen’s eyes. She focused all her attention on the movie.

The Monkey King on the screen looks lifelike, and he looks even more majestic when he is fighting off monsters.

He is worthy of being the eternal male god, the core of his character is always so charming no matter when.

Jiang Sui was so happy that she clapped and cheered for the Monkey King along with the other children around her.

When she saw something exciting, she couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her lips, and her beautiful eyes curved into crescents.

The bright light shone in her eyes, as if the sky was filled with stars, sparkling and moving.

I’m laughing so happily, is this movie really that good?

Song Sixen was thinking in his mind, but he didn’t even realize that the corners of his lips were rising.

When he came to his senses, he had been staring at Jiang Sui for a long time.

Realizing his own gaffe, Song Sixen instantly pursed his lips.

His brows were furrowed, and his heart was filled with self-loathing.

He suddenly felt for a moment that he was indeed a despicable person.

He only remembers the food and not the beating. If someone shows kindness to him, he can’t help but let down his guard and try to trust the other person.

What’s the difference between doing this and those stray dogs in the village?

Song Sichen slowly clenched his fingers, unable to figure out for a moment whether Jiang Sui was too confusing and had affected his judgment.

Or maybe he had lived in the village for too long and had forgotten to be vigilant.

Neither of these two aspects is a good thing for him.

Reason told Song Sichen that he should be more sober and not be blinded by illusions.

But human hearts are not something that is so easy to control.

The movie finally came to an end amid the villagers’ reluctance to leave.

Without waiting for the village cadres to stand up and greet them, everyone grabbed their benches and ran away.

“We watched the movie too late, everyone should go home and have a good sleep, so as not to delay the work tomorrow!”

What a joke, they are not stupid.

If Village Chief Yu seized this opportunity to speak and started to lecture endlessly, they would be sleepy to death tonight.

Jiang Sui didn’t rush home. After the show was over, she stayed to help clean up the machines.

Projectors of this era cost several thousand dollars each. They were very expensive and had to be stored with extreme care to avoid any mistakes.

Xiao Yuanhang, who was in charge of keeping the equipment, had been distracted the whole night. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he took the initiative to talk to Jiang Sui.

“I didn’t expect so many villagers to come to watch tonight. Even the screening time is much later than originally scheduled.”

For the sake of their relationship as colleagues, Jiang Sui responded with a few words.

“It’s a rare opportunity for everyone to watch a movie, so let’s go later. It doesn’t matter if we delay a little.”

She lowered her head and worked seriously on the task at hand.

The jet-black hair falls down, making the side profile look more delicate and graceful.

Xiao Yuanhang was staring in a trance. Why didn’t he notice when he worked with Jiang Sui before that she looked so beautiful after washing her face?

With his thoughts aroused, he couldn’t help but chat with Jiang Sui for a few more words.

“It’s getting dark, the roads in the village are hard to walk on, and your home is so far away, why don’t I ride my bike to take you back later?”

Jiang Sui refused without thinking: “No thanks.”

Although there was no emotional foundation between her and Song Sichen, their status as husband and wife was real.

There should not be physical contact between men and women. If the villagers saw her being sent home by another man late at night, who knows what they would think.

Although she rejected Xiao Yuanhang’s kindness in order to avoid suspicion, Jiang Sui still had a good first impression of him.

The shy way he spoke was very similar to her assistant in real life.

He used to get along pretty well with the original owner.

Whenever Jiang Sui talks to Xiao Yuanhang, she will recall the past days.

Therefore, my attitude and tone when talking to him were very good, and I even took the initiative to chat with him for a few minutes.

“When you ride your bike later, tie the box tightly to avoid damaging the equipment inside.”

“There is only one projector in the nearby villages. If something goes wrong, it’s hard to find a place to repair it.”

Xiao Yuanhang scratched the back of his head and made promises again and again.

“Don’t worry, I’m very careful. There will be no problem with the instrument if you leave it to me.”

Jiang Sui smiled politely and prayed in her heart that this would be the case.

She doesn’t want to throw away the stable job she just got before it even gets warm enough.

She is already good-looking, and she looks even more attractive with the corners of her lips curled up like this.

Xiao Yuanhang felt a little embarrassed and didn’t dare to look at her for too long. In the night, his red face was particularly conspicuous.

Song Sichen, who had just stood up with a small stool, saw this scene from afar and his eyes immediately darkened.

With the help of the filter, the interaction between Jiang Sui and Xiao Yuanhang seemed “intimate” in his eyes.

Song Sixen pursed his lips and said nothing, but his expression was extremely ugly, and he felt even more disgusted with his own hesitation.

Jiang Sui spoke so nicely all the time, and he thought she had really changed.

As a result, she still likes men as before.

I can’t even walk when I see a good-looking man!
