Life in siheyuan era

What I hate most when watching a movie is when someone sitting in the front row keeps talking, asking questions, and scolding their companions for being stupid.

Listening to the young woman in front constantly asking questions, Shen Lanyin frowned, while Zhou Zhiyuan raised his wrist to check his watch. It was seven o'clock, and he still had some time.

Then he heard the young woman in front asking the young man beside her again, "Why doesn't this woman recognize Amir?"

The young woman was extremely curious, having asked about this question five or six times, but the young man still didn't know.

Zhou Zhiyuan, always happy to help, leaned forward and said in a low voice, "This Gulandam is not that Gulandam. She's an imposter."

Hearing this answer, the young woman turned her head and exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"

Then, seeing a row of heads turning towards him, Shen Lanyin glared at him, and Zhou Zhiyuan replied helplessly, "Genuine article."

He had done a good deed by providing the answer, but the young woman still had questions, "It shouldn't be, how could Amir not recognize her?"

Having said this much, Zhou Zhiyuan could only continue to be helpful, "Women change a lot as they grow up. He just thinks she looks a bit like her. The key is recognizing the mole."

"Hmm, that makes sense." The young woman accepted his explanation and turned back to watch the movie.

Shen Lanyin asked in a low voice, "How do you know? Have you seen it before?"

But Zhou Zhiyuan was pondering a question, "What excuse can I use to get back to Kai early?"

It was seven o'clock, and he still had to take Shen Lanyin back, so time was tight.

He was so engrossed in thought that he didn't hear the question.

Shen Lanyin gently nudged his arm with her elbow. Zhou Zhiyuan turned his head and heard her ask again, so he replied in a low voice, "I haven't seen it. It's just a guess."

"Impossible..." Shen Lanyin denied, "You must have seen it with someone else."

Hearing her unfounded suspicion, Zhou Zhiyuan asked, "With whom?"

Shen Lanyin wanted to say more, but a low voice came from behind, "Stop talking."

She shut her mouth, and Zhou Zhiyuan stopped talking as well.

At this moment, the young woman in the front row turned her head again and asked, "This old man is so good, he must be our scout."

The young woman was too impatient, asking questions whenever she had them and expressing her thoughts as soon as they came to her.

And Zhou Zhiyuan answered whenever he knew, "He's a big spy."

The young woman exclaimed in surprise, "Impossible, how could the old man be a big spy?"

Immediately, a chorus of shushing sounds came from around them, and the young woman quickly turned her head and sat properly.

Shen Lanyin leaned forward and whispered, "You still say you haven't seen it before?"

Zhou Zhiyuan also leaned over and replied in a low voice, "I definitely haven't seen it, but you definitely have seen it with someone else. Confess honestly, who did you see it with?"

"Nonsense, how would you know if you haven't seen it?"

"Same logic, how would you know I'm right if you haven't seen it?"

"I've seen many anti-spy movies, I can deduce it."

"I've seen 'The Cases of Judge Bao', I can tell at a glance."

"Bullshit."

"Do you know why the crescent moon on Judge Bao's forehead is white?"

Zhou Zhiyuan suddenly changed the subject, and Shen Lanyin said without thinking, "Because his face is black."

"Wrong..."

Zhou Zhiyuan was about to continue when the young woman in the front row suddenly turned her head and asked in surprise, "Are you two kissing?"

They were talking close to each other's ears, and the intimate scene made the young woman misunderstand.

Shen Lanyin realized this immediately upon hearing this and was about to straighten up when Zhou Zhiyuan grabbed her neck and turned to ask, "Have you ever seen anyone kiss while touching ears?"

This question stumped the young woman, and another wave of gazes shot over from around them.

Shen Lanyin was extremely embarrassed, but she knew she couldn't move at this moment. Maintaining this position could prove that they were talking and not kissing.

Zhou Zhiyuan replied calmly, "Waxed to prevent cold."

"Ha..." The man behind them and the woman in the front row burst out laughing at the same time.

Following these two bursts of laughter, someone stood up and shouted, "Are you going to let people watch the movie or not? Where's the manager?"

Then a beam of light shone over, and someone shouted, "What's going on?"

"Someone is disturbing the peace."

"Who is disturbing the peace?"

"It's him."

As everyone pointed, the flashlight's light shone on Zhou Zhiyuan.

Zhou Zhiyuan immediately stood up to defend himself, "I didn't disturb the peace."

But the manager didn't listen and said in a low voice, "Please leave."

Zhou Zhiyuan wanted to explain, but Shen Lanyin stood up and walked out. Zhou Zhiyuan could only follow. They walked out of the cinema hall and into the small lobby. Shen Lanyin stopped and scolded in a low voice, "Can you be more mature?"

"It's not my fault..." Zhou Zhiyuan defended, "First it was that young woman in the front row, then it was that man in the back row. They framed me."

"Why would they frame you for no reason?"

"That's called victim blaming."

Zhou Zhiyuan used a new term, and Shen Lanyin asked, "What is victim blaming?"

"For example..." Zhou Zhiyuan explained, "A beautiful young woman goes out wearing a beautiful dress, and then she's harassed by a hooligan. Then someone says, 'If she hadn't dressed so beautifully, the hooligan wouldn't have harassed her.' That's called victim blaming."

Hearing this explanation, Shen Lanyin blinked and asked, "How could anyone say that?"

"Psychologically twisted," Zhou Zhiyuan replied.

Shen Lanyin nodded, then suddenly said angrily, "Are you saying I'm psychologically twisted?"

"I didn't say you," Zhou Zhiyuan immediately explained. Then, seeing her raise her hand, he immediately turned and ran out.

Shen Lanyin chased after him, and then they both stopped when they saw the continuous drizzle outside the eaves. Shen Lanyin said regretfully, "I didn't bring an umbrella."

Then she turned to look at Zhou Zhiyuan and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Zhiyuan said as he took off his jacket, "This rain isn't going to stop anytime soon. Instead of being trapped here, we should bravely rush out."

As he spoke, he put the clothes over Shen Lanyin's head and took her hand to run down.

Shen Lanyin shouted as she ran, "You'll catch a cold."

Zhou Zhiyuan laughed loudly and said, "Steel bones and iron frame, what fear do I have of the cold rain?"

He wasn't afraid of catching a cold. He got on his bicycle in the light drizzle and shouted to Shen Lanyin, "It's going to be fast, hold onto my waist."

Shen Lanyin, sitting on the rear rack, hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the clothes over her head with one hand and reached out to hold Zhou Zhiyuan's waist with the other.

The bicycle was going too fast, speeding down the street. Watching the buildings flash by on both sides, Shen Lanyin's heart began to race.

Then she heard Zhou Zhiyuan shout, "Hold on tight!"

Hearing this shout, Shen Lanyin felt the bicycle tilting backward. She had the feeling that she was going to fall backward, so she quickly reached out her other arm to hold Zhou Zhiyuan's waist, pressing her face tightly against his back.

Whoosh, the bicycle turned a corner and rushed onto another street.

Feeling her body straighten up, Shen Lanyin breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to let go of her arms, she heard Zhou Zhiyuan shout, "Hold on tight!"

That tilting feeling came again, and Shen Lanyin could only hold his waist tightly.

At this time, Zhou Zhiyuan's clothes were covering her head, and she couldn't see the outside scenery. She pressed her face against his back to prevent the clothes from being blown away, and her arms were tightly wrapped around his waist, feeling very safe.

It wasn't until she heard Zhou Zhiyuan's shout that she knew they had arrived at the entrance of the military compound. Then, with a whoosh, they rushed in and stopped in front of the small building.

Shen Lanyin lifted the clothes and saw Zhou Zhiyuan soaked. Seeing his jet-black hair plastered to his forehead and streams of water flowing down his cheeks, she quickly said, "Come in and get out of the rain. I'll get you a raincoat."

"Don't worry about me..." Zhou Zhiyuan still had his signature smile on his face, and he said lightly, "Hurry inside. It would be best to take a hot shower, drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm up, and then do other things. I'm leaving."

After saying this, Zhou Zhiyuan put his foot on the pedal, and the bicycle disappeared with a whoosh.

Shen Lanyin was stunned for a moment and turned to run inside. She had thought too simply. Zhou Zhiyuan, soaked to the bone, was too embarrassed to go inside and was eager to go home.

What she didn't know was that Zhou Zhiyuan was rushing towards that tall building. He had encountered Black Cat last Saturday, so what would he encounter this Saturday? He was quite looking forward to it.

It was almost eight o'clock, and he had to get to that building early. It's always better to be early than late.
