Chapter 167: Lights Out!
Li Xuewu carried his bag and squeezed into the middle seat amidst the dissatisfied voices of people asking him to move his legs.
As soon as he sat down, Lin Tingting asked in a low voice, "Where did you go?"
Li Xuewu smiled mysteriously, opened his bag, took out the water bottle, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to Lin Tingting.
"Drank wine and rode so fast, you must be thirsty, right?"
Looking at the water bottle Li Xuewu handed over, holding it in her hand, it warmed not only her hands but also her heart.
Knowing this was Li Xuewu's water bottle, she still took a big gulp, quenching the thirst she had just now.
After drinking, she wiped her mouth and handed the water bottle back to Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu took it and drank a mouthful directly. Seeing Li Xuewu drink from the water bottle she had just drunk from, Lin Tingting blushed with shame.
"How can you be like this?"
"Like what?"
Li Xuewu was asking while knowing the answer, pretending to be ignorant of what she was saying.
Lin Tingting knew Li Xuewu was playing dumb, and angrily pinched Li Xuewu's inner thigh.
This place was truly painful when pinched. Li Xuewu hurriedly took a red date from his bag and handed it to Lin Tingting's mouth.
Seeing Li Xuewu hand her a red date as if performing magic, she blinked in surprise and slightly opened her mouth to bite the big date.
The moisture in the sun-dried red date had already been lost, leaving only the sugar content in the red date. Eating it this way, it was soft, glutinous, and cottony, fragrant and sweet.
With food in her mouth, her hand naturally stopped using force. Feeling it didn't hurt anymore, Li Xuewu grabbed a handful of walnuts and handed them to Lin Tingting.
Lin Tingting naturally retracted her hand to take the walnuts, holding them in her arms like a little squirrel.
The interaction between the two made the audience on the left, right, and behind them itch with hatred.
It was just watching a movie, who would have thought they would be fed a mouthful of dog food.
Li Xuewu picked up a walnut from Lin Tingting's hand, squeezed the shell with a light force of his thumb, and gently peeled it open with both hands, revealing the fruit kernel inside.
It was plump and large, emitting the unique fragrance of walnuts. He pinched it with two fingers and handed it to Lin Tingting's mouth.
With the previous red date, she wasn't so shy anymore, and gently lowered her head to bite the walnut kernel in Li Xuewu's hand.
"Hmm, delicious, better than what's sold in our store."
"Brought back from the Northeast, thin-skinned, the kernel inside is big."
"The red date is also delicious."
"There are also hazelnuts, do you want to eat?"
"Want to eat..."
Li Xuewu put the walnut skin into the cloth bag he had prepared, took a hazelnut from his bag, used both hands to "ka!" gently peel open the fruit shell, revealing the brown fruit inside, then gently twisted it, and the brown outer skin faded, revealing the milky white fruit kernel inside.
Before Li Xuewu could hand it over, Lin Tingting stretched her head and bit it, sucking with her small mouth, and ate it into her mouth.
Lin Tingting only felt the oily fragrance of hazelnuts filling her mouth, fragrant and crispy, with a hint of sweetness, which was the fresh energy of the original ecology and pure nature!
Li Xuewu said with a smile, "Hazelnuts are precious dried fruits, and also one of the four major dried fruits in the world."
Lin Tingting blinked, obviously having never heard of this statement, and asked while eating, "You know quite a lot, are you using these things to fool little girls?"
Li Xuewu continued to peel fruit shells for her, not answering her question, but continued, "The four major dried fruits are walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, and cashews."
Seeing Li Xuewu not answering her question, Lin Tingting muttered, "I knew you were guilty."
Just as she wanted to continue changing the subject, Li Xuewu felt someone patting his shoulder from behind. He turned his head and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man looking at him with a grin.
"Buddy, where did you buy these dried fruits? My partner also wants some. Tell me the location and I'll go buy them now."
"Yeah, buddy, yours are more high-end than ours, completely crushing us. Tell us about it."
This was a small group, four or five boys each bringing a girl, and the girls' appearance wasn't low, all were top-notch beauties.
No anti-theft
The young man who spoke to Li Xuewu first was sitting right behind Li Xuewu, and next to him was a slightly shy girl, who should be the one the young man said was greedy.
Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Not bought, brought back from a relative's house on a business trip to the Northeast."
The girl beside the young man was a bit disappointed, her expression was down, and she said to Li Xuewu with a smile, "It's okay, brother, I was just joking with him."
Seeing the girl speak straightforwardly, the young man was very embarrassed.
Li Xuewu had been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and what he had in his eyes wasn't a radar, but a searchlight for human relationships.
"It's okay. A few younger brothers and sisters want to eat. We have fate today, let's make friends. I still have some here, not many, let's share."
Li Xuewu said, mixed the red dates, walnuts, hazelnuts, and pine nuts, stood up, and gave each person a handful.
These ten or so girls and boys were beaming with joy and kept thanking him.
Li Xuewu said while distributing, "We are all making a living on the street. What we talk about is relying on parents at home and friends when going out. If there are confidants within the four seas, all within the four seas are brothers~"
"Hahahahaha"
Li Xuewu was generous, spoke interestingly, and treated these few as adults. This group of big girls and young men couldn't stand this kind of flattery, and one by one reported their units and names, saying directly that if there was anything, just speak.
Li Xuewu wouldn't remember them all. This group of children were at the age of hot blood, the time when they were most likely to cause trouble. Li Xuewu made wide connections just because the rivers and lakes were far away, and having more friends made the road easier. He didn't think too much.
Facing the introductions one by one, Li Xuewu said directly, "Easy to say, easy to say, I am Li Xuewu from the Steel Mill, welcome everyone to find me to play. We have a rule today, that is, the fruit peels after eating must be taken away, and cannot be thrown on the ground to cause trouble for the uncles and aunts of the cinema."
The attendant over there saw Li Xuewu distributing dried fruits and was already prepared to come over and say something, especially since the movie was about to start. Seeing Li Xuewu was polite and spoke politely and reasonably, he didn't look over here again, but turned on the flashlight, shook it twice, and shouted, "It's starting, lights out!"
With this shout, the few stopped exchanging pleasantries and all nodded in agreement with Li Xuewu's words.
Li Xuewu sat back in his seat and continued to peel fruit shells for Lin Tingting.
"How can you be so eloquent? You can talk to anyone."
"Hey, convenience for others is convenience for yourself. Everyone is out with their girlfriends, how can I be embarrassed to eat here alone and let others watch?"
At this moment, the ceiling lights of the cinema all went out instantly, a beam of light shot out from the projection room behind, projected onto the screen in front, and the speakers at the four corners also transmitted music.
The sound coming from the ears was a bit noisy, probably because the sound quality of the speakers wasn't good or the sound wasn't adjusted well.
But in this era, the viewing conditions could only be like this. This cinema could be considered a top-ranked cinema in the city.
