Chapter 44 Watching Movies
Brother Xiang stopped the car, and Dalin accompanied Yi Huan to the stall selling five-spice peanut kernels. The fragrance was so tempting that it aroused Yi Huan's greed. When the guy sent away several guests around the stall, Yi Huan stepped forward and asked, "How to sell these five-spice peanut kernels?"
"Six cents per pound." The guy who bought peanuts at the business was bright and his eyes were bright, "Miss, how many pounds do you want?"
"Just weigh two cents, this one cannot be used as food, it won't cost that much." Yi Huan smiled.
The guy who bought peanuts smiled, picked up a bag of oil paper, rolled it into a spire shape, scooped two spoons of peanuts and poured them in, put them on the scale and weighed them, "Two cents of peanuts, you can get it!"
Yi Huan was about to pay the bill, but someone paid for her first. Yi Huan looked sideways and saw that it was Yan Zihui, "You are so idle." He met again.
"I came to find you specifically." Yan Zi smiled happily, his thin lips curled up in a beautiful curve.
"What's the matter with me?" Yi Huan glanced at Dalin who was stopped by Xu Jinluo and signaled him not to act rashly. Dalin also followed him to save Yi Huan that day, knowing Yan Zihui, and knowing that he had no malice.
"Watch a movie." Yan Zi replied and yang the ticket in his hand.
Yi Huan bit the corner of her mouth lightly and asked tentatively: "Can I not go?"
"Huan'er, I'll rescue you from the bandits, you haven't repayed me yet." Yan Zi blinked back and said.
Upon hearing this, Yi Huan felt inappropriate and said, "Go and watch the movie."
After successfully kidnapping, Yan Zi bent back to the corner of his lips. However, Yi Huan did not take the car, "I don't want to be seen by someone. I intercepted me halfway and scolded me."
Yan Zi looked back with a slightly deeper look. The lesson he taught He Xing'er before seemed too light, and she didn't give up on him.
Yi Huan was riding in his own car, which made Yan Zi feel a little worried that Yi Huan would run away halfway along the way. Fortunately, Yi Huan agreed to go to the movie with him, and he never thought about letting him go.
Yan Zihui was very satisfied with the advantage of keeping his word to Yi Huan.
When he entered the cinema and sat in the seat, Yi Huan felt scared after realizing it. This was a small private room, and there were only two people sitting. What if Yan Zi had bad intentions towards her?
Yi Huan thought so and showed her face. Yan Zi smiled faintly and said, "I like you, but don't worry, I'm not a person with no character, I don't know how to use force, you don't have to be on guard."
Yi Huan smiled awkwardly, lowered her head and grabbed two five-spice peanut kernels and put them in her mouth. Yan Zi reached out and grabbed two five-spice peanut kernels and ate them, "The taste is pretty good."
"I heard that this store is also old-fashioned. I have bought it for three or four generations. I have a secret recipe." Yi Huan moved and leaned back to Yan Zi.
Yan Zi bent back the corners of his lips, staring at her hands with deep eyes, her fingertips were like bamboo shoots, and her wrists were like white lotus roots. "The peanuts are delicious, but don't eat too much, as they will easily get angry."
"Oh." Yi Huan responded, grab a few more and put them in his mouth to chew.
At this time, the movie began to be screened. The black and white silent film "The Camellia Girl" directed by Gustavo Serena, the country of Mavericks, tells the story of a poor country girl named Alphonsina Placi who came to Paris in the 1840s, and entered the Vanity Fair, became a social star in the upper class, and began her career in laughter. She also changed her name to Mary DuPlessi, and met the male protagonist Yamang, and the two started a love story.
This movie is adapted from Dumas’s representative work, "The Lady of Camellia", which is a masterpiece written by Dumas based on his personal experience. Yi Huan’s evaluation of "Anna Karenina" is very consistent with Yan Zihui’s wishes. So he also wanted to hear her evaluation of "The Lady of Camellia". "Through the love tragedy of a prostitute, he exposes the corrupt life of the upper class, and makes blood and tears accusations of the hypocritical morality of the aristocratic bourgeoisie. This is a great work."
"The original work of "The Girl of Camellia" is undoubtedly an extremely excellent work, but the film has too many changes, and the plot after it is streamlined seems a bit abrupt. The existence of the spiritual core of criticism of capitalism and materialism is also quite weak, and it blindly emphasizes the love line between the male and female protagonists." Yi Huan pointed out sharply.
"There is too much content in a book that cannot be fully presented in a short film. I can only choose one of the books to express it. No matter what, the movie tells us a sad story. The heroine devoted herself like a moth to a fire, but ended up in depression. Don't you think she is pitiful?" Yan Zi sighed.
"She is very pitiful, but her background has determined her life. She is powerless to change and has no ability to chase the bright sun. Even if she reaches out and touches her, even if it is warm and moist, it will still be broken by the ruthless wind and fall back into this dark land until the fragrance disappears." Yi Huan said calmly and rationally.
Yan Zi pondered for a moment and said, "The plot is a bit abrupt, but the actor's performance is unquestionable. The camellia girl went from being extravagant and depraved, sarcastic and depraved, facing the doubts of confession to being involuntarily moved, humble and elegant in asking for money... She was entangled and ashamed when she met her lover, fragile and delicate when she was insulted, dying when she was seriously ill, and even death was vividly expressed."
"The actor's interpretation is indeed very exciting, although there is no sound." Yi Huan missed the audio movies.
"There will be something in the future." Yan Zi smiled and comforted.
Yi Huan nodded, yes, there will be not only movies, but also TV and computers in the future...
Yan Zi returned to see her longing expression, and didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't even pay attention to the steps under her feet. She stepped on the air and fell down when she saw someone. Yan Zi reached out to grab her arm. At the same time, Yi Huan saw that she was about to fall, and she reflexively wanted to grab something to stabilize her body.
He grabbed her arm, and she grabbed his scarf randomly. He pulled it hard and the beauty fell into her arms. Without falling down, Yi Huan calmed down, patted her chest and said, "I'm scared to death."
"What are you thinking when you walk without looking at the road?" Yan Zihui asked with a frown. If he hadn't been by her side just now, he would have been injured if he fell down these five steps.
"I didn't think of anything." Yi Huan found himself lying in Yan Zihui's arms, his posture was so intimate. He pressed his hand against his chest, struggled for a while, but did not break free. "Thank you for saving me, now you can let go of your hand."
"You make sure you have stood firm first." Yan Zi replied.
Yi Huan moved his feet and said, "I'm sure I'm standing firm."
Yan Zihui did not let go of his hand immediately, but asked with a smile: "Huan'er, I saved you again, how do you plan to repay me?"
Want to repay again?
Yi Huan blinked, "Go to watch the movie again?"
Yan Zi smiled and said, "Next week, go to Wengshanpo to skate. At nine o'clock, I'll wait for you at that intersection."
Instead of asking for opinions, he made a decision directly. This man was so domineering. Yi Huan pouted and replied in a depressing manner: "Okay."
Yan Zi turned back the corner of his lips and bent it, and there was no need for Yi Huan to remind him. He slowly let go of his hand and moved a step to the side, "See you next week." The Yi family had a car to follow him, and he didn't have the chance to send her home.
"See you next week." Yi Huan put his long cotton coat together and lowered his head down the steps.
Yan Zi looked back at Yi Huan leaving by car before getting on the bus and "returned to the barracks."
