A Young Woman's Heart

"I heard that there will be a week off before the exam so that students can study at home."

"Huh? Wen said that?"

"Correct."

"Studying at home... wait, a week? That means we'll be free on the 30th?"

"perhaps."

"Sir, thank you for coming to watch a movie so late."

"I'm fine." Mr. Xue smiled kindly, picked up the coffee these young people, who used to be petty thugs but are now looking for new entrepreneurial directions, had made for him, and took a big gulp. "What did you film?"

"Uh... is it a suspense film? It's about two hours long, and we filmed it for several months, haha... I'm fairly confident about it, but of course it can't compare to a real movie production, the budget was limited." Sitting next to him, Wu Xiaoping took a sip of rice wine and put his arm around his brother's shoulder.

Can I sleep here tonight?

"Sure, sure, of course no problem! It'll be fun with all the brothers together!" The chubby man patted the sofa armrest with great delight and then lay down comfortably on top of the skinny man.

The lights in the shop were all off, and the TV was playing a video they had filmed themselves.

Although the props were very simple and the filming methods were obviously very poor, the acting was surprisingly good. Even when holding a toy gun, they were able to keep their facial expressions in place.

"Sigh... watching myself act, haha, it's a bit embarrassing."

"I think the acting is quite good." Mr. Xue never hesitates to praise, "The narration from the beginning to now is also good."

"That gives us confidence."

"Alright, alright, be quiet and let the master have a good look."

The final scene of the movie finally ended, and the credits even popped up in a seemingly legitimate way, scrolling up in rows.

"The design is very thoughtful and complex, but the suspense is not particularly strong, and some parts are too straightforward."

"Tian Yuan, quickly write this down, that's what the teacher said."

"I remember."

"Hehe, this is just my opinion, you don't have to take it completely." Mr. Xue took another sip of coffee; this was his third cup already. "I liked the part where the creator appeared the most. This world was just a castle built by two children on a sand dune, and then they were going to destroy it all and leave. The part that followed transcended the film itself and could talk to the audience, which was even more amazing. But the choices made later were a bit shallow. Could it be like this..."

Surrounding Mr. Xue was a group of former petty thugs, now employees of a small studio. Many of them had acted in the film, and Mr. Xue patiently pointed out the shortcomings of each person's performance in different scenes. He didn't take any notes.

But at this moment, it was as if they had watched it a dozen times, and they even overlooked some details.

"So that's how it is..."

"As expected of a teacher."

At this moment, they wished the night could last a little longer.

"Little Jiji~ What are you doing? It's the middle of the night and you're still standing on the balcony in the wind." Duanmu Bi yawned, staggered over to her younger brother, and pressed down on his shoulder with one hand.

"Uh... I can't sleep, so I'm getting some fresh air."

"Oh, it really feels so cool."

Duanmu Bi squinted and leaned against the window as well. The wind, which even carried a hint of coldness, brushed against her face. Under the deep blue sky, even the moon seemed to be tinged with a faint blue halo, becoming hazy and blurry.

"Sis, uh...I..."

"what happened?"

"I have something to ask you... It's something serious, so please answer it seriously."

"What's up? If you want to marry my sister, I agree without even asking!"

"Hey." Duanmu Ji pushed her sister's arm irritably. "It's not this."

"What a pity~"

"...Never mind, I won't say anything more."

"Oh, come on, come on, I won't joke with you anymore, I'll be serious this time!"

"Um... I... like her, but... I don't know if I should confess to her before graduation."

"You haven't confessed yet!?"

“There has been…there has been an indication, but…”

"Oh, I see. They must have gotten away with it. Well, in that case, let's just forget about it?"

"Uh……?"

"As your high school life comes to an end, leave behind some beautiful fantasies."

Duanmu Ji pursed his lips, remained silent for a long time, and then nodded vigorously.

Chapter 297 The Turtle That Came to Help

(One)

"Hey, turtle, you're here."

"Since I'm free anyway, I'll come and help you out." Turtle was a tall, thin man. If Mo Xueyao were there, she would recognize him as the man who had helped her father stand up for her during the fight. That time, besides him, he had also called on a lot of his brothers to beat up the vocational school kids' bottoms, making them scream in pain.

"Your restaurant is closed?"

"My mom runs the restaurant, I'm in charge of myself." The turtle shook its hands, looking quite cheerful.

"Tsk tsk, Young Master Banshan, he's not just bragging."

"Haha, you're just envious!" the tortoise laughed without any politeness. "Let's go, let's go. It's not like we'll starve if we work one less day. Why don't we drive your beat-up van?"

“Then I’ll definitely have to drive my car, otherwise there won’t be enough room for the cargo.” Mo Wenli handed the other man a cigarette. The two grown men worked together seamlessly. One lit his cigarette, and the other borrowed a light from the other’s lit cigarette butt before lighting his own.

"Let's go! Get in the car!"

Recently, the renovation of the warehouse has taken up a lot of Mo Wenli's time. He's probably still in the mood, so he spends every day thinking about how to renovate it. It's like a child playing with building blocks; he's having so much fun and can't stop.

……

(two)

The old van roared like a constipated wild boar, speeding around a bend. Luckily, this was the suburbs, and there weren't many surveillance cameras in this day and age; otherwise, I would have received seventeen or eighteen speeding tickets alone.

"Damn it, Ali, you're driving like a bastard!"

"Haha, isn't that exciting!" Mo Wenli threw a red banner that read "One child is best" behind him and laughed heartily.

The tortoise gripped the handrail tightly: "Damn it, everyone says I'm arrogant, but I think you're way more arrogant than me!"

"So-so, how can I compare to you? By the way, where's your wife?"

"Who the hell knows where they went?"

"You've been caught twice already and you're still so careless. What's wrong with you? No wonder people call you a turtle. You really are a scoundrel."

"She dares to do it a third time? Do you think I'm just a decoration?" The tortoise waved its hand. "Don't worry, she's probably just gone back to her parents' home."

"Alright." Mo Wenli didn't continue. Although they were good brothers, jokes shouldn't go too far. "How's your son?"

"That's it. They said they want to become a kindergarten teacher after graduating from university."

"That's good too."

"What about yours? What do you say?"

"She wants to study psychology."

"Psychology? What's the use of that crap? Is it to be a therapist and give people some guidance? What's the point of guidance? If guidance were useful, why would we need money for it?"

"Haha, who cares? Anyway, I'll get a degree, it'll always be useful."

"That's right, he's a college student after all."

Mo Wenli's cigarette holder seemed glued to his lips; even when he spoke, or even when sparks flew from the wind, it wouldn't fall off: "Haha, if you had been more ambitious back then, you probably would have taken over your father's job."

"It was difficult to accept at that time."

"You were quite the celebrity back in the day."

"Back then, they had problems. They wouldn't even let me have one child, and they even fined all the leaders in the district. They were really something else."

"Haha, it was said that there couldn't be one here within a year, you broke the rules."

"You talk too much." The tortoise rolled its eyes in annoyance. "You better drive properly, I'm afraid you'll drive me into a ditch!"

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, there's nothing that money can't solve with you."

"Well, I need to be rich first!" the tortoise laughed and cursed.

……

At the entrance of the warehouse that Mo Wenli bought, there was a pile of scraps of wood, the only advantage of which was that each piece was relatively large.

As soon as the tortoise arrived, it joined him in getting busy. Right now, they were building a staircase.

"You used to be a carpenter, what happened? You can't even cut a plank anymore?"

"I've been laid off for years, can't you let me get back to familiarizing myself with things?!"

"Haha, I thought you'd forgotten everything you learned from your master."

"How could that be? I spent a fortune back then to become my master's apprentice!"

"You got laid off, why didn't you go back to carpentry?"
