Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 537 Holding Hands with the Female Manager~
Chen Jinyue couldn't help but smile sweetly: "You, you just have a sweet tongue!"

The two were whispering to each other when Chen's mother came over and greeted them warmly, "Little Chen is here?"

"Yes, Auntie~ I've come to pick up Sister Yue to go to the movies." Chen Luyang said shyly.

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Alright, alright, you two can go home after you finish watching. I'll make you some pork ribs for dinner tonight."

Chen Luyang said happily, "That's great! I'm really craving your cooking."

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Eat as much as you want. Come back early tonight, and I'll cook a couple more dishes."

“Yes,” Chen Luyang said cheerfully.

"Auntie, then Yue and I will go out to see a movie first."

Just as the two stepped out of their house, Chen Luyang suddenly stopped in her tracks!
"Where's your hat?!"

Chen Jinyue was dressed in a beautiful outfit and went out without any head covering.

Before I even got down the stairs, my ears were already red from the strong north wind.

"Go home and get a hat to wear."

"I won't wear it~"

Chen Jinyue looked stubborn.

With her beautifully curled hair and the perfume she's wearing, she's definitely not going to wear a hat!

Chen Luyang said helplessly, "My dear little aunt, why are you arguing with the weather? The wind outside is so strong that your ears will go numb after just a few steps."

"Listen to me, go inside and put your hat on."

With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, the weather is so cold it's practically freezing your ears to the bone.

Let alone a young girl, even a grown man would tremble when walking outside.

But Chen Jinyue is a beauty-conscious and strong-willed woman, and she refuses to wear it when she says she won't.

I absolutely refuse to wear it.

With no other option, Chen Luyang covered Chen Jinyue's ears with both hands and led her onto the bus, finding her a seat.

The buses are especially crowded on weekends.

The two squeezed together before finally reaching the Workers' Cultural Palace Station.

After getting off the car, Chen Luyang told Chen Jinyue to go inside the hall to warm up first, while she ran to queue up to buy a bag of steaming hot roasted chestnuts and a small bag of sunflower seeds before running back.

"Here, Sister Yue, try this. It smelled so good to me."

Chen Luyang peeled a chestnut and held it warm to Chen Jinyue's lips.

Chen Jinyue opened his mouth and took a small bite; it was indeed sweet, fragrant, and soft.

"Is it delicious?" Chen Luyang asked with a smile.

"Mmm!" Chen Jinyue nodded, about to peel another one and hand it to him.

The next second, Chen Luyang stuffed the chestnut she had just bitten into, with only half of it left, into her own mouth.

歘!
Chen Jinyue blushed.

"Why are you eating what I left over... I'll get you a new one."

Chen Luyang couldn't bear to let her get involved.

"Don't get your hands dirty. Your hands will be sticky after peeling these chestnuts. I'll handle it."

After saying that, Chen Luyang leaned closer with a mischievous grin and whispered:
"You've already kissed her, what's a chestnut compared to that!"

Chen Jinyue blushed and gently pinched Chen Luyang's cheek.

"nonsense!"

hehehe~
Chen Luyang was happily peeling chestnuts when Chen Jinyue asked from the side:
"Xiao Chen, what's Song Liaosha from your factory been up to lately?"

"He doesn't do anything, he just plays cards at the factory every day."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Luyang looked at Chen Jinyue with a puzzled expression.

Why would you ask him that out of the blue?

"I asked for my friend, the one we went hiking with last time!"

After listening to Chen Jinyue's explanation, Chen Luyang suddenly understood.

"Oh, you mean that little girl!"

Chen Jinyue immediately became serious: "Call me 'sister'!"

Chen Luyang sighed helplessly, "...Okay, sister, sister. Why did you ask Song Liaosha? Did you take a liking to him?"

Chen Jinyue nodded: "She is somewhat interesting."

Chen Luyang scratched his head.

This is going to be difficult.

Song Liaosha, that bastard, travels all over the country every day, only thinking about his younger brother, sister and mother, and has no interest in finding a partner.

Previously, in dance halls, clothing factories, textile factories, and many other places, quite a few young girls had taken a liking to Song Liaosha.

But Song Liaosha never responded, just like a silly roe deer, running wildly all the way.

Upon hearing that Chen Jinyue's friend had taken a liking to him, Chen Luyang paused slightly and said tactfully:

"He's currently busy with business, and his mind is entirely focused on the work at the factory. Besides, he has younger siblings to take care of, so he inevitably has less energy."

He paused, then added with a smile:
"But don't worry, he's an honest man. Anyone who gets along with him will definitely not suffer."

Chen Jinyue's eyes darted around after hearing this.

She felt that Song Liaosha was a reliable person, but she was also a little worried about Shen Xia.

After all, if someone is always traveling and their mind isn't on this place, it's inevitable that they'll encounter bumps and stumbles if they really develop feelings for someone.

“Then my friend…” She hesitated for a moment, but finally whispered, “If she really falls for him, she’ll probably have to put in some effort.”

Chen Luyang hummed in agreement and nodded seriously.

"Yes. Not all men are as outstanding and considerate as I am."

After saying that, he held up the freshly peeled chestnuts in his hand and put them into Chen Jinyue's mouth.

Chen Jinyue chuckled at his words, gently biting the chestnut, her cheeks puffed out, but she glared at him with her eyes:
"You really know how to praise yourself!"

"That's a must," Chen Luyang said with a mischievous grin. "Otherwise, how could I have won you over?"

"Alright, I'll pass on a message to my friend later," Chen Jinyue said softly, glancing at Chen Luyang again.

"But you have to keep an eye on things for me. You guys are easy to talk to, so don't let my friend's efforts go to waste."

Chen Luyang was both amused and exasperated: "Little miss, we haven't even started dating yet, and you're already making me your strategist?"

As people started lining up to have their tickets checked at the movie theater...

"Let's go in, Sister Yue."

Chen Luyang pulled the tickets out of her pocket and waved them triumphantly, "See? Odd numbers, seats next to each other, we'll definitely sit together!"

Chen Jinyue felt a sweet warmth in her heart, softly hummed in agreement, and followed him into the movie theater.

The lobby was already packed with people. Chen Luyang protected Chen Jinyue and squeezed a path through the crowd.

The screening room was already packed, the coal stove was burning brightly, and the air was filled with the aroma of sunflower seed shells and popcorn.

Everyone was wearing cotton-padded jackets and military overcoats, shoulder to shoulder and leg to leg, but no one complained about being crowded.

After all, the movie "Shaolin Temple" is a huge hit throughout the province, and being able to snag a ticket is a blessing.

Chen Luyang led Chen Jinyue through several rows of people and finally managed to sit down in the middle of the consecutive seats.

"Hehehe~"

Taking advantage of the chaos, Chen Luyang roughly squeezed Chen Jinyue's small hand on the seat.

This time, we can finally take the blame legitimately!
He must take this opportunity to do this and that, and then that and that.

This and that, and then that and that...

Before he could finish thinking, Chen Luyang felt a pain on the back of his head, and then a peanut fell directly onto his body.

"Who hit me!"

Chen Luyang turned around and let out a loud howl, only to have another peanut "whoosh" hit his shoulder.

"Brother Chen!" Accompanied by a familiar voice, Song Liaosha greeted him with her big, silly face.

Not only Song Liaosha, but also Song Wasi and Song Nata, the three siblings, were there!
A row of mixed-race children standing among pure Eastern faces looked incredibly striking.

Especially since the Song family has never had any shabby members, these three young people sitting in a row like this look like movie stars at first glance.

Chen Luyang: ...

Well, just like the saying goes, "Speak of the devil, and he appears."

Not only Cao Cao, but also Sun Wukong and Lin Daiyu arrived together.

Chen Jinyue was led around by him, but before he could see clearly, Song Liaosha's voice rang out throughout the entire venue:

"Sister-in-law—good!"

The sound was as loud as a workers' club meeting, and half the screening room fell silent for a moment, followed by a burst of laughter.

Several elderly men in the front row couldn't help but turn around to watch the commotion, and a child next to them even imitated the shout, "Sister-in-law, you're awesome!" which drew snickers from the crowd.

Chen Jinyue's face instantly turned bright red, even the tips of her ears felt burning hot, and she wished she could crawl under the seat.

Chen Luyang almost laughed out of anger, covering her face with her hands: "Can't you just shut up for a second?!"

Song Liaosha, however, didn't take it seriously and added in a serious tone, "My sister-in-law is coming to the movie theater, we have to give her a proper welcome!"

Chen Luyang was at a loss.

This is truly a prodigy...

What kind of girl would be so blind as to fall for him!

Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha stared at each other, wide-eyed.

On the other side, Chen Jinyue, Song Nata, and Song Wasi were also sizing each other up.

Out of a sense of responsibility to her good friend, Chen Jinyue's big eyes quickly swept over Song Wasi and Song Nata.

Needless to say, Song Nata is as beautiful as a Russian doll in a painting.

Songwasi, however, was completely different from his brother.

His eyes, though also emerald green, shone like shards of ice reflecting light on a winter night, carrying the sharpness and arrogance unique to youth.

His brother, with a silly grin, kept shouting "Sister-in-law, you're great!" throughout the room, while Song Vasi just sat quietly observing.

At that moment, a strange thought even popped into Chen Jinyue's mind:

These two brothers are like a reckless bull, inexperienced in the ways of the world, and like a hunter quietly lurking in the deep water.

I was just curious.

The lights in the screening room quickly dimmed, and the opening credits lit up.
Seeing that Chen Jinyue was still looking back, Chen Luyang assumed she was still embarrassed about Song Liaosha's matter, so she quickly whispered to her in the dark:
"Ignore him. If he keeps spouting nonsense, I'll just throw popcorn in his face."

Chen Jinyue couldn't help but chuckle, then turned around and, together with Chen Luyang, turned to look at the screen side by side.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Chen Luyang quietly moved her hand to the side and gently placed it on the back of Chen Jinyue's hand.

What Chen Luyang didn't expect was that...

Instead of pulling away, Chen Jinyue bent her fingers and took the initiative to hold his palm.

ah? ! ! !

Chen Luyang was taken aback and couldn't help but turn her head to the side.

The light and shadow of the screen reflected on Chen Jinyue's face. His usually heroic eyes now had a hint of cunning, and he even raised an eyebrow at himself in a very alluring way.

moment,

Chen Luyang felt as if she had been electrocuted, and her heart suddenly pounded.

What's going on...?
During the day, when there are many people around, Chen Jinyue blushes and acts coquettishly.
Why do you become so daring when the lights are dimmed?

Before Chen Luyang could come to his senses,
With a smile in his eyes, Chen Jinyue suddenly flicked his fingertips and gently pulled the two hands that were clasped together, firmly pressing them onto his thigh.

The movements were so natural, as if they were going with the flow.
At first glance, it seems as if she took the initiative to lead the person to her side.

In an instant, the face of the socialist steel youth flushed bright red.

He had originally planned to play some sneaky tricks, but the girl countered with a "direct counterattack," and he ended up being led around like a little rabbit.

Chen Luyang stared stiffly at the screen.

His rational mind, as a man, told him that he should take the initiative, pull his hand back, and press it against himself, like a real man!
But... damn it!

It felt so good to have my older sister take my hand.

Woo woo woo.

That bit of manly spirit was crushed to shreds by Chen Jinyue's few fingers.

He couldn't help but steal a glance.

But Chen Jinyue remained calm, as if nothing had happened, her eyes fixed intently on the screen, looking like she was "focused" on watching the movie.

Just then, her thumb was lightly rubbing against his palm, almost imperceptibly.

One lap, one lap~
One more lap~
Damn it...

Chen Luyang felt a tingling, numb sensation all over her body from the rubbing.

This female manager is deliberately trying to ruin him!

The fight on the screen was in full swing, with punches and kicks whistling through the air, but Chen Luyang felt that his heart was churning even more violently than the monks' punches and kicks.

Jueyuan swung his stick and knocked several enemies away, but he didn't even glance at them. His mind was completely occupied by the few thin fingers between his fingers.

I don't know how long I stood there frozen, but suddenly a faint voice came to my ear:

"I want to eat chestnuts."

"Okay!" Chen Luyang agreed almost reflexively, reaching into his pocket.

But just as she was about to take out the chestnuts, she found that her hand was being held by Chen Jinyue, with all five fingers gently locked.

How to deal with this...

He wanted to listen to Chen Jinyue and peel chestnuts for her.

But he didn't want to let go!

In an instant, Director Chen, who had been able to handle Wang Qingzhou, Chen Tuo, the principals of the six technical schools, and the directors of various heavy machinery factories with ease, was at a loss.

It's a dilemma – whether to move or not.

Chen Jinyue glanced at him with a half-smile.

The next second, he easily released his hand.

Chen Luyang quickly bent down to reach into his pocket, peeled a warm chestnut, and offered it to the female manager's lips:

"Come on, open your mouth~"

Chen Jinyue turned her head and took a small bite, and the sweet aroma immediately filled the air.

She didn't finish chewing, but instead stared at Chen Luyang with bright eyes, still holding the chestnut in her mouth.

Chen Luyang stared blankly at the female manager's gaze.

Fuck me...

What is she up to now?!
Chen Luyang was at a loss for where to look.

Look at the screen; not a single word of the image registers in my brain.
I looked to the side, but I was afraid that I would really be bewitched by those eyes.

Letting things remain in this stalemate isn't right either!

Just when Chen Luyang was feeling lost on her path forward,
Chen Jinyue curled the corners of his mouth and slowly spread his palms out in front of him, as if giving a silent hint.

As if possessed, Chen Luyang placed his hand on it.

The next moment, Chen Jinyue gently closed her fingers and held his hand again.

Immediately afterwards, as if nothing had happened, she placed their clasped hands back onto her thighs.

This time, the buckle was even tighter than before.

That's absolutely incredible!
Chen Luyang's ears turned completely red.

This isn't watching a movie!
This is clearly like sitting on a hot stove and being roasted!
