Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 136 Getting More and More Open

After getting to know her more, I found that Song Yuqian is actually a very lively girl.

She was not the steady, peaceful and obedient girl that Cao Yukun had seen when he first met her. In fact, she loved to play and was very bold. The only difference between her and other girls of her age who loved to play was that she was purely curious and wanted to see what was going on. But once she tried, she would quickly lose interest.

For example, playing billiards.

Before, Cao Yukun had accompanied her to a billiard hall in the county. She was very interested in learning how to play, but soon discovered that it was a mess. Many people, whether they were teenage students or young people in their twenties or thirties, were unruly, swearing, pretending to be cool, and there were fights all the time, and so on. So she quickly lost interest in playing billiards, a "game" that her female classmates envied.

This time she brought up the idea of ​​watching the video with great interest.

She has a VCR at home. Song Yuhuai himself said that he was also a playful person in the past few years. It is a standard configuration for wealthy families these days, or it can be said to be high-end configuration. How could his family not have one?

But Song Yuqian whispered to Cao Yukun that she had heard from other female classmates that they could watch "very special movies" in the video room.

So Cao Yukun took her to the video room.

On the second floor, a private room costs five dollars, and you can choose your own movies freely. Although it was broad daylight, the boss nodded and agreed to let us watch a "special movie" as soon as Cao Yukun hinted.

I selected the videotape and took it inside. It was a dark little room, about two square meters, with a double sofa and a big-butt TV one meter away opposite - that was all.

To be honest, Cao Yukun has no interest in this thing at all.

In his previous life, he could find some BT videos on his computer, which were higher quality and had plots. The movies he could choose from in this era were all European and American movies, otherwise why were they called porn movies? Besides, the jokes he had personally experienced in his life were more interesting than those in this movie. What could this thing do to excite him?
But the fact that Song Yuqian actually took the initiative to express her desire to watch this kind of movie made him very interested.

It can be felt that this girl is actually quite concerned about the last line of defense, although at the same time, it can be clearly sensed that she does not seem to object to being with him, or even being overly intimate with him, but it is this last line that she is somewhat resistant and guards it quite strictly.

But once she was hugged, kissed and touched, she quickly showed her other side.

Nowadays, if a girl takes the initiative to ask to go to the video hall to watch "that kind of movie", it would be somewhat shocking and unorthodox.

Just watch.

Cao Yukun was not very good at using a VCR of this era, but Song Yuqian was. She even took the initiative to pick out that special movie, the one with a big butt of a European or American woman printed on the cover, and the big white man holding her with bare legs and butt, and stuffed it into the VCR.

Well, just one or two minutes, and it's already started.

As expected, there is no plot to speak of. From the beginning it's just a bunch of "Oh Yeah" and "Fakmi" all the time. But Cao Yukun didn't look at the screen. He looked at the beautiful girl in his arms.

Her face flushed, and she looked shy and excited from time to time, but when she realized that Cao Yukun's hand had crossed the line, she was able to come to her senses in time, hold it down, and then pout and glare at Cao Yukun like a coquettish person, forcing his hand back to the right place.

After watching for about twenty minutes, she realized something and broke free from Cao Yukun's arms, stood up, stopped the video and replaced it with a feature film tape.

It was also chosen by her, called "Fight Back to School".

Well, it’s a new movie from last year. It shows that videotape piracy is pretty fast these days. It even has Mandarin dubbing when it was released in Taiwan. The last time Cao Yukun saw this movie was when he was in college in his previous life.

After changing the belt, she sat back down, hugged Cao Yukun's neck, her face flushed, her eyes full of light, "This time you have to watch the movie carefully, and stop having random thoughts!"

tsk...

In fact, she misunderstood.

Cao Yukun really wanted to have sex with her, it was true that he had made the matter a fait accompli, but he was not so desperate as to choose a place like this to take Song Yuqian's first time - it was too dirty!

So I accompanied her to the movies.

Of course, it looks good.

Even though he had seen it several years ago, he was still quickly absorbed in the plot, and his hands unconsciously calmed down. However, at some point, he seemed to be awakened, and suddenly remembered something! What the hell? Videotape?

Maybe that's just how people are.

If you live in a place or an era for a long time, you will gradually blend in. Once you blend in, you will gradually get used to and adapt to many things that seem awkward at first, so that if there is no special reminder, you will not even easily think that something is actually not very reasonable.

For example, videotapes, VCRs and video halls.

Thirty years from now, how many people will still know about the existence of videotapes?
Come on, mobile phones can watch 4K!
But think about it, in the 1990s, the most popular thing was probably VCD? Or DVD?

But since I traveled through time, whether in Fuping County, Xizhou City, Mo City, or even Hongkong, I seem to have never seen such a thing as VCD. At least I haven't seen any advertisements for it, nor have I seen it sold in shopping malls!
So, this thing hasn't appeared yet?

In which year did this thing appear?

I'm at a loss because I've never seen a video like this in my previous life!
I do have a vague impression, as if I've seen a reborn male protagonist in a novel who got rich by doing this. But when I think about it... No, it's been a long time since I read the novel, and I can't remember even the slightest details that can help me locate the location!
But I quickly recalled some things from my childhood.

I remember it was probably when I was in primary school, probably around 2000. At that time, VCDs were probably standard equipment in many families in China. Finally, my dad was willing to spend money to buy one. I remember that he bought it together with a Hisense 21-inch TV.

That same year, a telephone was installed in the house.

Well, I forgot the brand...but I vaguely remember that when I was a child, there were a lot of VCD brands in China, and there were quite a few that advertised on CCTV alone.

Hmm...you can pay attention to this matter in advance. It may not be easy to create something original, as you have no idea where the sourness of this vinegar comes from. But once this thing is available on the market, you can investigate the market and see if it is worth following up - if it can be popular all over the country in the 1990s, even if you just drink a sip of the soup along the way, it will probably be delicious.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Ah? Nothing! I'm just thinking about things at the factory!"

"Is the movie not good? I think it's really interesting, but you were distracted."

"No, it's beautiful! It's just... I've seen it in Hongkong."

"Oh... Hey, I'll wait for you to go to Hongkong later. I want to go there and play with you, okay?"

"Okay! That's easy. Give me the information later and I'll ask someone to get you a pass!"

"Well, okay! Let's watch a movie first!"

…………

When the two of them finished watching the movie, it was no exaggeration to say that they were covered in sweat.

The video room is such a small and cramped space, but there is no air conditioning. The whole thing relies on a small fan hanging in the corner. Even on this day with a temperature of over 30 degrees, the room is really stuffy and humid, and there is a strange smell.

But Song Yuqian had a great time, so she was very happy when she came out.

"So this is how you watch a video. It's nothing special!"

After returning the film and getting her deposit back, even though she must have sensed that there was something wrong with the way her boss looked at her, she didn't seem to care. Instead, she walked out hand in hand with Cao Yukun in a very free and easy manner.

As soon as he got into the car, Huang Jiapeng handed him a mobile phone, saying that he had just received several calls, and then gave him a small notebook that was specially used to record incoming calls.

When I opened it, there were one from Zhao Xiaolan, one from Hong Kong, and one from Modu.

Cao Yukun glanced at the numbers, hesitated for a moment, closed the notebook, handed it back to Huang Jiapeng, and habitually stuffed the mobile phone under the door handle. He turned around and asked Song Yuqian, "What do you want to eat?"

Song Yuqian has indeed become more and more relaxed recently.

At this time, her eyes turned slightly, and after thinking for a few seconds, she actually smiled and said, "I want to eat instant noodles."

"what?"

But she immediately said excitedly: "I have loved instant noodles since junior high school. I often secretly eat them in school, but my mother won't let me eat them at home because my auntie cooks for me. I haven't eaten them for almost a month since I finished the college entrance examination... Let's buy some instant noodles and cook them at home? It's said that they taste better when cooked!"

"Ha... OK! Let's eat instant noodles!"

Huang Jiapeng in the front row didn't even turn his head and suddenly said, "I love instant noodles, too!"

Cao Yukun kicked the seat and said, "What's your business? Drive!"

So Song Yuqian couldn't help but laugh.

On the way here, she remembered that she had seen Cao Yukun's driver before, when she went to Cao Yukun's garden not long ago. Later, she asked her eldest brother about it. According to her eldest brother, among the three young people around Cao Yukun, there was one named Huang, and the relationship between his sister and Cao Yukun was a little difficult to say.

Well, she understood. It was hard to explain what the eldest brother said, but that was probably what he meant.

It is said that the brother and sister had accompanied Cao Yukun to the Magic City and had a very good relationship with him.

So they found a small store to stop and went to buy instant noodles hand in hand.

In this era, Cao Yukun had never seen Master Kong or Uni-President Laotan. The only kind of noodles available in grocery stores was the same all over the country, namely, Sanxian Yimian.

Honestly, it's delicious.
