Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 4 This boy is very hungry

Yan Ni and her female classmates were very happy with the meal of dumplings.

During the meal, they not only introduced their names to each other, but Cao Jian's nonsense also made the two girls smile like flowers.

With the third brother bragging from time to time and talking about interesting things in the countryside, the four of them actually seemed like friends who had known each other for a long time.

After the meal, Cao Jian took the initiative to pay for the four people together.

Although it was only six dollars, his behavior made Yan and the others have a better impression of Cao Jian.

After leaving the restaurant, a few people walked towards the cinema while chatting.

"Cao Jian, do you think I can really be a star?"

On the way, Yan kept asking questions about being a star.

In the 1990s, as television gradually became popular, some TV dramas and movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan entered the mainland. Being able to appear on TV and become a star still had a certain appeal.

Cao Jian smiled and said, "Of course, but judging from your face, this road is rather bumpy. You need to meet a noble person."

Yan Ni asked, "When will I meet a noble person?"

"It's hard to say. It may take two or three years, or even longer."

"I didn't expect you could read faces."

Yan felt a little regretful. Such an outstanding boy didn’t go to college?
She asked curiously, "What are you going to do in the south? Work?"

"It's impossible to work part-time. It's impossible to work part-time in this life."

Facing the lively and charming "Tong the Shopkeeper," Cao Jian tilted his head and smiled, "Do you think it's possible for me to become a star?"

"Are you a star too?"

"You're going to be a star in the future, and of course I have that plan. Otherwise, how can I be friends with you?"

"How can you talk like that?"

Although Yan has a cheerful personality, he is just a college student under 20 years old after all.

Cao Jian's words contained obvious hints, and her face turned red.

This boy is too direct in his words. Even if I look okay, if you want to pursue me, you should at least be more subtle, right?

We've only known each other for less than an hour, okay?
"Did I say something wrong?"

Cao Jian ignored the other party's reaction and asked, "I really want to be good friends with you, a future star. Is there a problem?"

"No."

Yan didn't know what to do after hearing what he said.

Are they really just "good friends"? I'm not being overly suspicious.

"This boy is really bad."

Yan Ni stopped talking and gave Cao Jian a definition in his mind, but he couldn't help but sneak a peek several times along the way.

The road to the cinema is not far, only two miles, and we arrived there quickly.

There are a lot of people in movie theaters nowadays, but not many movies.

There aren't many domestic films.

This year, Zhang Yimou's film "Ju Dou" won many awards, but it was not released in China.

The development of domestic films has not kept pace with people's growing spiritual and cultural needs, which is why there are so many video halls.

The videotapes have all kinds of movies, including Hong Kong and Taiwan movies that cannot be shown in theaters, as well as unconventional Japanese action movies.

"I don't know what VCD has."

Cao Jian looked at the movie poster, but his mind was thinking about other things.

The two girls chose for a long time and finally chose an old movie called "Oh, Xiangxue".

In fact, Cao Jian didn't go to the movie, he just wanted to kill time.

Before my rebirth, how could I have had the chance to meet a big star like Yan?

I didn’t expect that not long after my rebirth, I would meet the legendary “Shopkeeper Tong”. Of course, I need to communicate more with him.

Maybe I can get to know more stars in the future, so I have to practice first.

Movie tickets are very cheap, only one dollar each.

The movie hadn't started yet and several people were waiting at the door.

Yan Nei’s classmate is called Chen Qian. Although she is not as pretty as Yan Nei, she is still a pretty girl.

She was dressed more stylishly than the country girls and had a generous personality. As soon as she went out, she stretched out her hand to Cao Jian and said, "Cao Jian, can you help me read my palm?"

"Let me see"

Cao Jian took a casual look, picked out some nice words and said some nonsense, which made the girl laugh non-stop.

After showing it to Chen Qian, Cao Jian said to Yan Nei, "Let me help you take a look?" Yan Nei was still thinking about what Cao Jian had just said. After hesitating for a moment, he still reached out his hand.

"Let me take a good look."

Cao Jian didn't hold Chen Qian's hand just now, but this time he actually gently held Yan Ni's hand, pretending to be very careful.

"He actually grabbed a girl's hand?"

Cao Wei and Chen Qian next to them were stunned.

Although people's mindsets have gradually become more open in the past two years due to the rise of brokerage, the concept of men and women in mainland China is still relatively conservative.

This boy from the countryside is so brave. How long have we known each other and he’s already grabbing my hand?

"Brother, you're amazing! Are you so blatant with all the female college students in the city? You even said she's a future star. That's amazing! I need to learn from her in the future."

Cao Wei was full of admiration.

Yan Ni's hand was grabbed, and she was so embarrassed that she tried to pull it out quickly.

Five or six years ago, this kind of behavior would have resulted in execution.

But this is not five or six years ago. She exerted a little force, but Cao Jian held on tightly and said, "Don't move!"

Sure enough, Yan stopped moving and asked Cao Jian to read his palm, but his heart began to beat wildly like never before.

"Your palm lines...hiss. Your career line is okay. The first half of your life wasn't smooth, but you'll eventually make a breakthrough. And you really need help from someone."

Cao Jian frowned seriously; "The love line."

Speaking of love lines, Yan immediately pricked up her ears, and Chen Qian even came over curiously.

"Your relationship is not going as smoothly as your career. There are some breaks in the middle. Judging from your palmistry, you will get divorced once."

"divorce?"

Hearing that there will be divorce in the future is naturally not something a girl who is longing for love would like to hear.

"That's what the palmistry shows. However, there's a fine line on the broken part, which means if you meet your true Prince Charming, you might avoid it."

As soon as Cao Jian finished speaking, Chen Qian came to the rescue.

"When you say Prince Charming, are you referring to yourself?"

"Hate."

Yan's face turned red all the way to her ears.

The lively and beautiful "Tong the Shopkeeper" is really good-looking, no wonder he can be a cultural and artistic soldier.

Cao Jian joked, "My name isn't engraved on it, so how would I know?"

Although the nineteen-year-old Yan Ni's hands were delicate and smooth, he still let go after he finished speaking.

Everything should be done in moderation, and too much is as bad as too little.

This old-fashioned cinema only has one lobby and can only show one movie, so the waiting time will be relatively long.

To ease the awkward atmosphere caused by her quick words, Chen Qian asked, "Cao Jian, you said you wanted to go south to be a star. Were you kidding? You didn't go to art school, so how can you be a star?"

"Stars don't just act in movies; singers are stars too."

"You mean you want to be a singer? You sing well, right? Can you sing a song for me?"

"Then I'll just sing a few lines."

Cao Jian has countless songs in his mind, and the 1990s was a decade of fierce competition in the Chinese music scene.

The reason why he was so anxious to go south was to catch this good opportunity.

"Cough cough."

With a light cough, Cao Jian hummed softly: "String your heart and my heart together, string a lucky clover, string a concentric circle."

This song was almost popular all over the country when Cao Jian was in college.

But it was 90, and there was still a year before this song became popular.

Now when Cao Jian sang this song, Yan Ne and her classmate Chen Qian were all stunned.

What song is this? I've never heard it before.

They are used to listening to red songs and have hardly ever heard songs like this.

The song is very nice.

Just, this word
String your heart and my heart together?
Why does he sing such a song?

Did I guess right just now?

Yan's face turned even redder.
