Chapter 81 Only I can expose your shortcomings, not the other way around.
Shu Yun followed up the conversation and asked, "What happened?"
The waitress became interested and said excitedly, "The other day, that fat guy came to the restaurant for a blind date again. I don't know how he got the girl to agree to come. That girl has a bad temper. Before she could say a few words, she poured a glass of boiling water on the fat guy's face."
"Oh my, you didn't see what happened. His face turned completely red, and he was such a coward. He was yelling and screaming in the shop, thinking that the girl was going to do something to him. He panicked and tried to run away, but he tripped over a stone at the door, fell face down, and his mouth was covered in blood. He also broke his leg. I haven't seen him come here recently. He's probably still recovering at home."
After the waiter finished speaking, he heard the chef calling from the kitchen, so he quickly responded and ran to serve the dishes. Gu Jun sat back down and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
Shu Yun smiled and said, "They say we're a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman."
Gu Jun raised an eyebrow, picked up a piece of chicken leg meat and put it into Shu Yun's bowl, "You have good taste."
As the two were eating, another group of customers came into the restaurant. Shu Yun saw a young man sitting at the table behind them stand up nervously, wave towards the door, and a girl in a plaid dress walked over.
"Hello, is this Chen Mei? I'm Guo Xiangdong."
"Hello."
After listening to a few words, Shu Yun realized that this was a blind date.
The young man nervously tried to pull out a chair for the girl, but his movements were too forceful, and his own chair crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
A waiter said, "Be careful, you'll have to pay if you break it."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the young man said, his face flushed, bowing as he apologized.
Shu Yun watched with great interest. She was nervous about her own blind date, but watching others go on one was quite entertaining.
Gu Jun picked up another piece of pig's trotter for her, along with the tendon, and said, "Don't look at other people."
Shu Yun was dissatisfied, so she leaned closer and whispered, "You were pretty much the same as that male educated youth when you went on your blind date before, so nervous and awkward that I didn't have the heart to say anything to you."
Gu Jun glanced at her, "Likewise."
Shu Yun's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but kick Gu Jun under the table before stopping.
I can expose your shortcomings, but you can't expose mine!
After finishing their meal, the two sat in the restaurant for a while. When they realized it was almost time, they went to the movie theater together.
A large crowd of people were shoving and jostling to get inside the movie theater. Gu Jun put his arm around Shu Yun and walked inside. Although people kept pushing and shoving, Gu Jun managed to avoid bumping into her at all.
Stepping into the cinema, the space inside is narrow and cramped, with rows of wooden benches neatly arranged, the distance between the rows not large, only enough for one person to enter at a time.
Shu Yun and Gu Jun sat down close together. Not long after, the lights in the courtyard dimmed. Shu Yun spotted several children sneaking in through a side door and sitting excitedly together. At this time, it was common for people to sneak in to watch a movie if they couldn't buy tickets.
After a while, the projectionist pushed the projector in, and with the clicking sound of the projector, the screen gradually lit up, and children in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
It was still a war film, but the picture wasn't clear enough and the screen was small, lacking the impact that later films in theaters had. However, watching a movie was a fashionable thing at the time, and everyone watched intently, with occasional quiet conversations.
Shu Yun was engrossed in watching the movie when her hand, which was hanging by her side, was gently grasped. A large, warm hand enveloped hers. Shu Yun looked back and saw Gu Jun's profile as he watched the movie with a serious expression. He looked quite serious.
Shu Yun tried to move her hand and gently scratched Gu Jun's palm. Gu Jun leaned his shoulder towards Shu Yun and whispered, "What's wrong?"
Shu Yun shook her head, grasped Gu Jun's hand in return, and refocused her attention on the movie.
Just as Shu Yun was immersed in the movie, a little boy's loud voice boomed in the theater, "Holding hands, uncles and aunts are shy."
The sound was so loud that everyone looked over. Shu Yun came to her senses and saw that everyone was looking at them with different expressions, and the child was pointing in the direction of her and Gu Jun's clasped hands.
Shu Yun blushed and pulled her hand away, the blush on her face clearly visible even in the dimly lit movie theater.
"Haha, that's right." The man sitting next to the child chuckled, completely taking it as a joke. Gu Jun looked back, his cold and deep black eyes sweeping over the man, and said coldly, "Take care of yourself, and keep quiet in the theater."
The man was startled by the coldness emanating from Gu Jun, and quickly looked away, not daring to look at Gu Jun. He covered the child's mouth with his hand, saying, "No, I'm sorry."
She patted the boy on the head and said, "Watch the movie quietly and don't talk nonsense."
The boy was also a little afraid of Gu Jun, so he shrank back and didn't say anything. However, Shu Yun didn't dare to let Gu Jun hold her hand again. Who knew if another member of the security team would suddenly appear and give her a public reprimand? She couldn't bear it.
As soon as the movie ended, Shu Yun took the lead and walked out first, leaving Gu Jun, who was still trying to hold her arm, far behind.
Standing on the street outside, after being exposed to the cold wind for a while, Shu Yun inadvertently saw two figures not far away. One of them was none other than Feng Jie, who had been kicked out of the family compound.
Even though this woman has left the residential compound, the gossip and interesting stories about her are still circulating there!
"Why do you insist that I go back? I won't go back. They were the ones who kicked me out in the first place. Do you expect me to grovel and beg them to come back?" Feng Jie pushed the man, her emotions running high. The man quickly grabbed her hand and led her into the alley, smiling as he soothed her, "I'm doing this for your own good. After all, they are your brother and sister-in-law. Even if we're broken, we're still connected. Are we going to never see each other again?"
Feng Jie: "After such an ugly falling out, they should be the ones to repair the relationship."
The man comforted her, saying, "Don't you think about the future? After we get our marriage certificate, your older brother is the only one in this city who can help us out. If things really fall apart, it won't do us any good. Be good and go back to visit him first."
Feng Jie was soothed by the man's gentle words, especially when he mentioned getting a marriage certificate. Her cheeks flushed, and she looked at the man with wide eyes, "So when are you going to marry me? I'm already living with you now, and I've ruined my reputation as a young woman."
The man said, "I ultimately want your older brother's approval so that he can personally hand you over to me. Otherwise, it wouldn't be proper, and that would be irresponsible of me to you."
Shu Yun stared at the man for several moments. He was wearing a well-tailored suit, not very tall, but with regular features, and seemed to come from a well-off family…
"Who are you looking at?" A faint voice came from behind, startling Shu Yun.
