Chapter 173: I Want to Marry You
In Jiayuan Community, Meng Huo sat on the sofa to rest after work.
"I said Meng Shu, do you still have a job at night?"
Shen Jie asked curiously.
"Tonight...... Several of Meng Shu's assistants had already finished the work on the comics, and he thought for a moment: "I have time, what do you want me to do?" β
"Come with me to the movies." Shen Jie took out a flyer and said with a smile: "This "Love Under the Sky" premiered today, I have been waiting for it for two years, how about you go to the cinema with me to watch it?" β
Meng took the flyer, and the picture on the flyer was very sci-fi. Several battleships flew in the sky, while below was a barren land, where a pair of lovers hugged each other.
"Sci-fi love?" He showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect Shen Jie to like this type of movie, but he also liked science fiction themes.
"That's right, this is the story that happened four hundred years later, after we humans set foot in the universe." Shen Jie replied with a smile: "Because the setting is to simulate the future, I have been waiting for it." β
Meng Shu is even more interested, human exploration of the universe is one of the surprises he found in this world, since the end of the war decades ago, the countries of the world world began to spend huge military funds on the development and research of space technology, it is said that the cosmic migration can be achieved within three hundred years.
The yearning for the starry sky and the universe has led to the birth of a large number of sci-fi movies, but the copyright restrictions are too strict, and Meng Huo has not seen a few films so far, let alone the cinema.
"Okay, I'll go."
He became interested, and although he had to work overtime tomorrow, watching a movie could also be counted as a break.
At night. Meng Huo and Shen Jie left the Jiayuan community. They originally invited Li Qin. But Li Qin is not interested in science fiction movies, and would rather stay at home alone and watch TV series.
The cinema is less than twenty minutes away, and there are quite a few people inside, mostly young couples.
When Meng and the two walked into the cinema, they immediately attracted a lot of surprised eyes, and someone whispered.
"Why do they all wear hats, they can't be celebrities, right?"
"No way. Looking at the age of a high school student who should be in early love, I don't want to be seen by my family......"
After some scattered discussions, the eyes that seemed to disappear Meng Shu pressed the hat on his head and sighed in his heart, this is the first time he has dressed up like this.
Shen Jie said that in the past two days, why don't the fans be more noisy, she asked Meng Huo to wear a hat, but Meng Huo is very skeptical that there is no need for this, he is a cartoonist, he shouldn't be watched by people when he walks out, right?
Meng Shu looked at Shen Jie. Shen Jie, who was also wearing a hat, looked around.
"There are so many people, will there be no tickets......
She grabbed Meng Shu's hand. Straight forward: "Let me, let let ......"
Shen Jie walked to the ticket counter and asked about the remaining tickets for "Love in the Sky".
"I'm sorry, but the public tickets are sold out." The ticket sales lady apologized: "There are only three movie tickets left for member customers, if you want, you can apply for a membership card first, and you need to show your ID card." β
Meng Huo is a little unhappy, this is a promotion of membership cards? He didn't like the membership system.
"Okay, get me a membership." However, Shen Jie did not hesitate to take out her ID card and asked the ticket lady to be a member of the theater, and the membership card needed to be pre-stored for five hundred, and she also took it out.
After buying the ticket, Meng Shu frowned and said, "Let me pay this money, you still need living expenses for school." β
Although Shen Jie made some money as a voice actor, Meng Shu felt that there was no need for her to spend so much.
"No need." However, Shen Jie refused, she put the membership card away, and said: "This money is paid by me, it is enough for the two of us to watch seven movies, and if you help me rush 500 after watching it, we can watch fourteen shows." β
Fourteen - this Shen Jie also loves to watch movies too much, but Meng Shu is not so free......
Without waiting for Meng Huo to say anything, Shen Jie pulled him to buy snacks at the commissary next to him, Meng Huo saw her happy face, so he had to keep his words in his heart for the time being, and decided to talk to Shen Jie after watching the movie.
The start time of the movie was half an hour later, and in this half hour, the two chatted in the cafΓ© to pass the time, although the hat caused many people to be surprised, but nothing happened.
When the movie starts, they check in and sit together. This is the first time Meng Shu has come to the cinema in this world, the cinema is very large, and the facilities are very good, and the most satisfying thing for him is that the seats are very clean.
"Love in the Sky" is a Chinese movie, and the background of the story is four hundred years later.
In 2410 AD, mankind went from discovery to exploration, and finally began large-scale space migration. However, the technology of astronautics was limited, human immigration was limited to a small part of the galaxy, and the number of planets suitable for colonization became a rare resource.
And the story begins in this context, Dong Qing and Alyssa are lovers at Yenching University, and the two broke up because of a misunderstanding after graduation. Dong Qing joined the Huaxia Universe Immigration Bureau, while Alyssa returned to her native America and joined the same organization.
The two pinned their dreams on the universe to serve the future of their respective countries, but the cosmic world was not as comfortable as the earth, and countries did not hesitate to wage war in order to compete for the colonized planet, Dong Qing and Alyssa were also involved, and when they were fighting for the ownership of an unexplored planet, they met again......
"Love Under the Sky" uses a lot of computer special effects, and the wonderful war scenes in the universe are even better than Hollywood blockbusters, which makes Meng Yu addicted to watching it, and at the same time, he also has a further understanding of the film technology in this world.
How cool would it be if such a good technique could be used in animation......
The inertia of her profession made Meng Huo start to look at the movie in other ways, but Shen Jie, like other girls, was immersed in the tragic love story, she kept holding Meng Huo's hand, and every time she reached the climax, she would increase her strength.
At the end of a movie, Meng Huo's hands were red.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Shen Jie apologized to Meng Huo, Meng Huo moved his hand, feeling that the injury was not serious, at least it would not hinder him from painting, he said: "It doesn't matter to me, you go and wash your face, your eyes are red." β
The ending of "Love Under the Sky" is a tragedy of double death, Shen Jie couldn't help crying, but her eyes were red, and when she went back, maybe Li Qin would misunderstand that Meng Shu had bullied her.
Shen Jie walked into the bathroom to wash, Meng Huo stood outside and waited, and when he was bored, a 6 or 7-year-old girl ran out of the bathroom and bumped into him.
"Oops!"
The little girl fell to the ground, Meng Yu almost knocked off the hat, he pressed the hat, and then squatted down to help the girl up.
"It's not hurt, is it?"
Meng Shu carefully checked her injuries, and although the girl was safe and sound, she sniffled and wanted to cry. However, as soon as she looked up and saw Meng Shu's face, the girl's crying stopped.
"What are youβ"
Before she could scream, Meng reflexively covered her mouth.
"Shh He made a silent motion, and the girl's big eyes sparkled and she nodded excitedly.
Meng let go.
"What a pity brother, can you give me an autograph?" The girl was freed and whispered, "I love watching Pokemon the most!" β
"No problem, it's just that you don't tell anyone about me." Meng Shu touched the girl's head, feeling a little entangled in his heart, it turned out that what Shen Jie said was right, he was actually recognized.
He's a cartoonist, how did he do it like a star.
"I'm going to get a pen from my mother." The girl ran out of the house in a hurry, and then came over with a pen and a small notebook: "Quick, brother, give me an autograph, I will protect the autograph so that my mother will not see it before she goes home." β
This girl is very smart...... Meng Shu was surprised, he picked up the notebook and thought about it, and wrote a sentence on it.
"Xie Lu Xie help me keep it a secret, smart little girlβwhat a pity."
The girl picked up the signature, and she tilted her head: "Although I don't know what is written on the road, but brother, your handwriting is so beautiful." β
A girl who hasn't gone to school yet? Meng Huo was a little ridiculous, the current children are really precocious......
"Go back, don't let your mother find you."
After sending the girl away, Meng Shu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saw that Shen Jie was standing behind her at some point, she pouted slightly, looking a little angry.
"What's wrong?" Meng Shu felt strange.
"It's nothing, let's go back!" Shen Jie took the lead and walked forward.
The two walked home, it was already late, there were not many pedestrians on the street, Meng Shu opened the topic to attract Shen Jie's attention.
"I didn't expect the ending of "Love Under the Sky" to be like that, the United States would rather destroy it if it couldn't get the planet...... I feel that the director deliberately made a tragedy for the purpose of creating the death of the hero and heroine, and the story is completely unreasonable. β
"However, the contradiction between the two sides is too big, and the director may not know how to end it, and the ending of the two protagonists hugging each other and dying at the same time as the planet, I can ......accept it to some extent."
Meng Huo recalled the plot of the movie and deliberately picked a topic that Shen Jie was interested in, but she still ignored it and didn't speak along the way.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Meng Shu frowned slightly, and asked worriedly, "Suddenly angry, are you feeling unwell?" β
Shen Jie stopped, she turned her head and stared at Meng Shu.
"I'm jealous......" she replied, looking at Meng Shu's somewhat stunned look, Shen Jie continued: "I saw you touching that girl's head with your hand, and I was jealous in my heart, am I a very excessive woman?" β
"......" Meng Shu's heart trembled, he knew that he shouldn't ask, but he still asked: "What do you mean?" β
"I mean...... I like you......"
Shen Jie faced Meng Huo, and on the street, she confessed directly.
"Meng Huo, I think highly of myself, I don't like sneaky attacks, so even if you reject me today, I still have to say it, I like you, I like you more than any other woman in the world."
"I want to marry you!" (To be continued......)
