Chapter 512: Chapter 512: This Feeling Is So Annoying

"It is said that the Cultural Palace is also going to establish a movie theater, which is absolutely great news for everyone.

In Tenghai Research Base, there is a projection team that often screens movies, but that’s only when the weather is warm, after all, there isn’t a large suitable venue, and there are a lot of people, so the movies are shown at the sports field there.

If there were a movie theater, I believe that the first to raise their hands in welcome would definitely be the young people of the base.

Since it comes with funding, let’s start the construction.

The address of the Cultural Palace was set next to the Future Department Store building.

The library that is being put together is located on the west side of the office building.

During the weekend, Zhou Hai, carrying milk powder, fruits, canned food, and pastries, knocked on the door of He Xiuyu’s house with Liu Ying. The two families lived very close, separated by just a wall.

The place where Zhou Hai now resides used to belong to Old Li.

Old Li was part of the Space Base. After the houses there were built, they moved away, and after some cleaning, Zhou Hai and his family just happened to move in.

Liu Ying was quite beautiful. Since it was early winter, she was only wearing a wool-collared tweed coat, her willow-shaped eyebrows arching, her almond eyes sparkling. She didn’t smile or speak. When she was with Zhou Hai, she was only eighteen years old, not yet thirty this year, but she appeared to be just in her early twenties.

She placed the things in her hands on the coffee table with a beaming smile, looking around He Xiuyu’s home, and exclaimed, "You and your husband truly have an elegant taste. Without visiting, we wouldn’t have known that you actually live in such a warm and beautiful house."

Beautiful people tend to have pleasant voices; after all, it’s normal for someone from a cultural troupe, also a famous golden voice.

Her voice was also very gentle, "Qingyu, why don’t you show Sister-in-law around your treasures while the two of them talk."

Qiao Qingyu took Liu Ying to the west room. Liu Ying leaned in to take a glance at Little Chaoxuan lying on the fur blanket, she didn’t step forward but maintained a very safe distance, then she sat sideways on the chair and praised, "I was thinking just now, I wonder how good-looking your two children would be."

Qiao Qingyu didn’t exhibit any modesty and nodded, "Hmm, Sister-in-law is right; this child is quite good-looking."

Liu Ying just smiled there. Qiao Qingyu felt a bit of surprise in her heart because according to the information she’d seen, Liu Ying was quite a proud person.

She couldn’t help but take another good look at her.

Liu Ying spoke straightforwardly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I just feel a bit embarrassed to call you ’Sister-in-law’; you’re so young..."

Liu Ying genuinely enjoyed hearing this, but she modestly said, "Ah, I’m almost becoming an old woman, how can I be still young?"

"If you are an old woman, then the rest of us can’t even compare."

"You little girl can actually talk like this."

The two didn’t actually meet for the first time; they had seen each other across the wall when they moved in, but they had been too busy to talk these past two days.

After sitting for a short while, Zhou Hai took Liu Ying to leave, mentioning there were still many things that had just arrived in the mail that needed sorting out at home.

He Xiuyu said, "Once you’re settled in, we’ll have dinner together."

"Certainly," Zhou Hai agreed heartily.

The walls of the two houses were more than a person high, and one could see each other’s yards.

Previously, Old Li lived there, much like Old Wei, being older in age. Before coming to the Tenghai Research Base, his children were already settled, and his spouse stayed behind to look after their grandchildren, so he came alone. Old Li’s house was empty for more than a year before finally bringing his spouse over from his hometown.

But they were still rarely at home, so it was often empty here.

However, it has become obviously livelier now.

He Xiuyu and Qiao Qingyu did not see them off as, with a turn of a corner, the two entered their yard, and they could still wave hello across the wall.

Zhou Hai was not very tall and looked quite average, with a somewhat sharp gaze, and he radiated a certain haughty temperament that probably related to his background; in future terms, he was born with a golden key.

Liu Ying used to be a member of the cultural troupe, so her height was definitely standard, almost 1.68 meters, and even in flat shoes, she was a bit taller than Zhou Hai.

Standing in the yard, she inadvertently looked over and saw the young couple next door standing on the steps.

Liu Ying had never seen such a handsome man in her life.

To tell the truth, before coming here, she didn’t believe the rumors that Chief Engineer He from the Tenghai Research Base was even more handsome than movie stars, for she had seen many of these scions in the circle, some handsome indeed, but not many were pleasing to the eye.

It was not until she saw him on moving day that she realized the saying was true, and she even thought that comparing He Xiuyu to movie stars was a disservice to He Xiuyu.

Describing a man like He Xiuyu could no longer be simply with ’handsome’ or ’good-looking’.

He stood there as if he was a painting.

Clothed in a beige sweater and black pants, with a tall, slender figure. Qiao Qingyu was also a rarely seen beauty. The two were not looking their way, one with a slight lift of the head, the other with eyes cast downwards, one with brows smiling, the other gentle, unclear of what they were saying, but then He Xiuyu affectionately tapped Qiao Qingyu’s nose with his hand and then took her hand and entered the house.

The two of them together could be described as a breathtaking picture.

A surge of sourness arose in Liu Ying’s heart.

The two were sweetly in love, and they were content.

Heh, what an unpleasant feeling.

Her beautiful eyes glittered with coldness and derision. The next moment, when she heard Zhou Hai’s voice calling her into the house with a tinge of impatience, her face quickly bloomed into a sweet smile.

As if the expression just then was nothing but an illusion.

She stepped lightly into the house.

The north wind howled by, whipping up the snow on the ground. The wind was a bit strong, and it felt as if in a blink, it had swept through like a fresh snowfall.

In the evening after school, Li Mingguang, as usual, escorted He Xuerong to the front gate, only now a little girl wearing a red velvet hat was following behind them.

At this time, the doors of the houses were open. Li Mingguang didn’t enter the house; after handing He Xuerong her schoolbag at the door, he turned and left.

Passing by Zhou Hai’s house, he walked straight ahead, purposefully not looking to the side, but he didn’t expect the little girl standing at the door to snort loudly through her nose and then call out, "Hey hey hey..."

Li Mingguang pretended not to hear, still walking forward.

The little girl shouted from behind, "Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear me talking to you?"

Xiao Hu was already eleven years old that day. Last year he was not as tall as He Xuerong, but after the summer he had grown half a head taller than her.

Xiao Hu was indeed the one who knew how to grow, taking the best features from both Li Zhiqiang and Sister-in-law Li.

Now he was already looking like a handsome young lad."
