Don’t Say You’re Heartless

Chapter 2: Scout

Views:

It was more than ten o'clock now, and the sun had exerted its might, illuminating the ground with steaming heat. Shen Qiuhua's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but she was a dignified and steady woman, and she did not fan the wind with her hands like other women.

There is a cold drink shop in front. As soon as the two entered, the temperature dropped instantly, so Shen Qiuhua couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. There were not many people in the cold drink shop. Yang Qiong took her to find a seat and sat down, pointing to the menu on the table and asking, "What would you like to eat?"

Shen Qiuhua shook his head. For things she is unfamiliar with, she usually just looks at it and doesn't rush to express her opinion. So Yang Qiong ordered three flavors of ice cream and let her taste it slowly.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Yang Qiong got up and said.

Shen Qiuhua nodded, took out the book he just bought from the bag, picked one and flipped through it casually. The light around her seemed to be blocked, she raised her head and saw a tall and handsome man standing there.

"Miss, do you mind if I sit here?" The man's voice was gentle and low.

Shen Qiuhua did not speak. She had never encountered such a situation, ancient or modern.

When the man acquiesced to her, he sat across from her with a smile. "Introduce myself, my surname is Chen, and I'm the manager of Hantong Performing Arts Company. This is my business card. Uh... Our company is currently looking for girls with talent in performing arts. Miss, you are so pretty, are you interested in becoming a part of the performing arts circle? How about development?" The man showed a very decent smile.

Shen Qiuhua listened quietly, but still didn't speak. In fact, she didn't know what this person was talking about, but all these unexpected emotions were well hidden by her.

The wall stands thousands of miles, and there is no desire to be rigid. Whoever has *, whoever is weak. It is now clear that the other party is asking for something. As long as you don't make a sound, then it must be the other party who can't sit still.

After the man finished speaking, he found that the beautiful woman on the opposite side had no response. Can't hear me? The man's first reaction turned out to be this.

Just when he said what he just said again, a voice came coldly: "She has no interest in becoming a star, thank you for your kindness."

The man turned back and saw Yang Qiong leaning on the back of the chair next to him with his arms crossed, his eyes sharp as knives.

"You're back." Shen Qiuhua also turned his head and gave her a sweet smile.

This smile made Yang Qiong feel that this man hated him even more. The man also looked at Shen Qiuhua with a smile at this time, but he forgot to react.

"Sir, please don't disturb our rest." Yang Qiong bent down and pressed her hand on the table, blocking the man's sight.

"Uh... cough..." The man adjusted his sitting position, "May I ask who this lady is..."

"It's none of your business who I am. I'll call the police if you don't leave." Yang Qiong smiled, revealing her white teeth.

The man couldn't explain why, but the woman who appeared later put a lot of pressure on him. He wanted to fight again, but was too frightened by the chill in Yang Qiong's eyes to open his mouth.

"This...is my business card..." The man pointed to the business card on the table and left immediately.

"Are you all right?" Yang Qiong asked after driving away.

Shen Qiuhua shook his head. "That person is so strange." She said, taking a small spoon and digging a scoop of ice cream into the mouth, "I couldn't eat when he was there." This is still a rule developed in ancient times. Although it doesn't mean that you can't eat in front of people, Shen Qiuhua is still not used to it in front of strange men.

Yang Qiong looked at her with some distress, "I just left." This woman is too attractive.

"Then don't leave next time." It was rare that Shen Qiuhua could tell such a joke. By the way, there is a cute expression with raised eyebrows and squinting eyes.

Yang Qiong clutched her chest with a painful expression on her face. Qiuhua, don't make such an expression, it's a foul!

"I'm worried about you." Shen Qiuhua put his hand on Yang Qiong's.

Yang Qiong backhanded her hand and shook her head gently. "I know I'm too nervous. But... you're too beautiful."

Shen Qiuhua smiled sweetly. "I'll get used to it as soon as possible. So, don't be so nervous. It makes me feel useless."

Yang Qiong smiled, a smart woman is really a stunner. That is far more attractive than the beauty of appearance.

The two had lunch together outside, and naturally attracted countless attention during the period, but Shen Qiuhua maintained the demeanor of a generation of favorite concubine, and his gestures were all elegant and calm.

"Go home." Against the heat, the two got into the subway station.

When taking the subway for the first time, Shen Qiuhua asked a lot of these convenient questions, which made Yang Qiong feel that her knowledge reserves would be exhausted at any time. Fortunately, Shen Qiuhua didn't really want to build a subway.

"It's so hot outside." Back home, Shen Qiuhua finally showed a hard expression. Holding the remote control to turn on the air conditioner, the whole person shrunk to the air outlet.

"Hey, be careful of catching a cold!" Yang Qiong looked at this, which line? Come over immediately and pull her aside.

Shen Qiuhua raised her head, her charming smile was mischievous. It was a small triumph that the plan worked.

Yang Qiong was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "You did it on purpose, right?"

"I always like to see you worrying about me. Yang Qiong, although this world makes me feel very unaccustomed. But having you here, without the constraints of my identity, I am very fortunate. I..." Her His eyes were rolling, and he was a little shy. "I like you."

"It's love." Yang Qiong emphasized.

Shen Qiuhua's face turned even redder. Her arms wrapped around Yang Qiong's neck, raised her head and placed a kiss on Yang Qiong's lips, "I love you."

"Cough..." At the critical moment, Yang Qiong choked on her own saliva. Bent down and coughed.

"How are you?" Shen Qiuhua asked nervously while patting her back.

"No... I'm fine..." Yang Qiong stopped coughing, but her face was completely flushed.

"I'll read the book if it's all right." Shen Qiuhua was anxious to read the book he just bought.

Yang Qiong looked at her back and couldn't help coughing again.

All afternoon, Shen Qiuhua hardly made a sound. She is completely immersed in the book. But that book...

"You can read a dictionary with such relish? What is there to read?" Yang Qiong didn't understand, very much.

Shen Qiuhua raised his head, "Many words have become simpler. This is the simplified word you said? No wonder you write faster."

"You've read so much, do you really remember?" Yang Qiong asked while sitting on the sofa, looking at the half-turned dictionary.

"It's impossible to memorize all of them. I can only remember the appearance of these words. As for the definitions in them, I can remember as many as I can."

Yang Qiong wanted to cough again. What she said was the shape of the word. Who would expect to memorize every word in the dictionary after reading it once, is that still a human being

"Aren't you tired?" Yang Qiong was really afraid that according to Shen Qiuhua's readiness, she would look myopia first.

Shen Qiuhua twisted his neck, "It's a little bit. Why don't you play chess with me."

Yang Qiong got up immediately, "That... I'll cook something delicious for you." He left the room without looking back. What a joke, she is a favorite concubine of the generation who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was not an opponent when she played chess. One day after she arrived in the modern age, she read a few chess manuals on the old bookstall, and after that, her level reached the point where people and gods were indignant. If you are not sick, you are not looking for abuse.

Shen Qiuhua also knew why Yang Qiong didn't play chess with her. But she read a few old chess manuals, and suddenly felt empowered. To say that she has seen chess manuals a lot since she was a child, but it is still different from what she sees here. After all, after a thousand years of time and space, too many things have changed, and so has chess.

"Yang Qiong, you quit your job. We have to spend money every day now, where does your money come from?" Of course Shen Qiuhua didn't wait for anything delicious. In addition to making porridge, Yang Qiong's craftsmanship can only make noodles. It also made her realize that they had been spending money all this time.

"The previous deposit is still enough. I am very economical." Yang Qiong said with a smile. When she was in the army, everything was troop supply. When I was a bodyguard, I followed my employer all the time, so I had almost no money to spend.

Shen Qiuhua nodded. "In another month, I can also go out on business." She was excited when she said this. When a woman goes out to do things, she really can't think of anything other than serving others. Unexpectedly, she could become a female master in this world, which made her feel that this vacation was a bit long.

"Qiuhua, can you teach?" Yang Qiong couldn't help asking.

"When I was at home, my father taught me a lot. The Four Books and Five Classics, I know some poetry and songs." But she was modest. How much more does she know? That is a great talent that even scholars in Jiangnan can hardly look up to.

"However, these are not taught in the current school." Yang Qiong supported her forehead. To be honest, she didn't have any specific impression of what the children in elementary school were learning.

"Then what to learn?" Sure enough, Shen Qiuhua's question came out.

"Uh..." Yang Qiong thought hard. The subject certified on Shen Qiuhua's teacher qualification certificate is Chinese. This gave Yang Qiong a glimmer of hope. If the subject is English, Yang Qiong will consider letting Shen Qiuhua resign directly.
