‘Gold Will Always Shine1金子總會發光 (jīn zi zǒng huì fā guāng): From the proverb, 是金子總會發光的 (shì jīn zi zǒng huì fā guāng de), lit. gold is bound to glitter; an individual with ability will eventually be discovered; a talented person’s day will come.‘ is a Weibo blogger who specializes in writing funny blog posts.
Today, he received a contribution from a netizen, and found it particularly interesting, so he copied the netizen’s content and reposted it on his Weibo, the general content is as follows: 【Hello, Gold, I can’t hold it in any longer, I want to submit a manuscript!
Just went to see that tear-jerking romance movie with my girlfriend, the one that requires bringing your own tissues, I won’t promote it. The thing is like this, my girlfriend and I chose the theater, because we wanted a clearer view, we didn’t pick the couple seats on the sides, we chose the seats in the middle, now, let me tell you, I deeply regret not choosing the couple seats, really, thinking about it now, I regret it so much.
I chose the seats relatively late, so I picked the left side in the middle, all the audience members in my row had all taken their seats, and they were all couples, my girlfriend sat on my left, and on my right were two rather stylish-looking gentlemen, one with a more youthful face (referred as A below), and the other more mature (referred as B below). Remember, these are the same two people who, from the moment I sat down, mercilessly began to crush my feeble spirit.
Before the movie started, a certain brand’s car advertisement was playing, A watched it carefully, and B asked him in a low voice what was so interesting about it, A said it was different from the one at home, and B said that the car in the advertisement was only 200,000 to 300,000 yuan2T/N: As of current rate, 200,000 CNY is around 27,696 USD. And 300,000 CNY is around 41,544 USD. Cough, lemme cry for a bit…, which was too cheap, their family don’t drive that type of car at home, and even if he wanted to buy one, he wouldn’t buy it for him. Then, B asked A if he wanted to learn to drive, there are over a dozen cars at home that he could drive anytime, A replied that he didn’t want to learn since there’s a driver at home, and then B said there was no need for him to learn it. You savor it, you savor it3你品品，你品品 (nǐ pǐn pǐn, nǐ pǐn pǐn): From a funny catch phrase, 你品, 你細品 (nǐ pǐn, nǐ xì pǐn), lit. you savor it, slowly. This saying is used jokingly by Chinese netizens to ask another person to think something over and try to figure out the implied meaning. The saying caught on after a funny short video was liked many times on Douyin, in which a man was trying to persuade his wife to give up spending on luxury bags and instead save money so that they can buy a home. The man used this phrase to be persuasive, and the way he said it was very funny., is this speaking human?
Just to add, this same-sex couple was actually quite polite, they spoke in low voices, it was mainly because I heard them mention the car and listened attentively to a few words, as soon as I heard it, I almost ascend to the sky due to anger, it’s all my fault that I was born with a pair of ears for gossip, it’s also my fault that there were too few people watching the movie in the afternoon, and there weren’t many people present, I have to listen to the slightest sound.
Of course, it’s not over yet.
Not long after the movie started, the climax scene arrived, that rainy scene was indeed a bit touching, making me think back to the secret crush I had in high school… Yes, there is no then, because my damn ears heard A quietly asking B why the male and female protagonists didn’t take cover under the eaves and instead stood in the street getting rained on, not only were they blocking traffic, they weren’t following traffic rules, I thought B would say it’s just a movie, but he turned out to be even more ridiculous, he actually noticed that despite being drenched in the downpour, the shoes of the male and female protagonists were dry.
As soon as I heard it, it seemed quite reasonable, and then my attention started to get skewed, anyway, the touching atmosphere and all that was gone.
After that, I began to observe the details of the movie, I used the tissues I had prepared to wipe the ice water off the Coke cup, my girlfriend couldn’t hear the conversation between the two of them, and she was moved, but I thought to myself, what’s there to cry about, look at how delicious the crayfish in the movie is, why don’t the male and female protagonists start eating, but they chatter instead? Also, after the male and female protagonists sleep, the makeup on the female protagonist’s face is still very exquisite, doesn’t the female protagonist remove her makeup before going to bed?
I’m sorry, but I’m the one with the sensitive ears who heard the questions about the female protagonist not taking off her makeup in bed and the fact that the crayfish looked delicious from the people next to me.
Really, I shouldn’t have eavesdropped, but I just couldn’t help but wonder what they could have said!
Anyway, now my girlfriend asked me if I was very moved by the movie, moved my ass, all I have is spicy crayfish covered in red oil and minced garlic!
By the way, after we came out of the movie, we saw A and B getting into a super luxurious car, although I didn’t see their faces, I knew it was them just by looking at their clothes, really, I was so hurt today!】 After reading it, netizens kept on hahahahahahahahaing endlessly.
– Hahaha, I’m dying from laughter! So you’re focusing on something else because it’s a bad movie?
– I’m going to see this movie with my boyfriend this afternoon, can I still watch it well?
– God damn it, doesn’t obey traffic rules and crayfish! @RomanceFilmDirector: Please be more rigorous when writing the script, and don’t cause trouble to the police uncle!
– I have the same opinion as AB, probably the only thing that can be seen in that movie is the crayfish, it’s just that I don’t have more than a dozen luxury cars at home, let alone have a driver when I go in and out!
– I don’t think there are many of these cars in the country, right?
As this funny Weibo was reposted more and more, the romance film promotion agency also noticed this Weibo, and immediately took advantage of the popularity of this topic to buy hot searches, and promote the movie.

At this time, Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan are already sitting in a private restaurant, there are two hot crayfish with different tastes and two bowls of noodles on the table, after eating the crayfish, they can pour the noodles into the soup and eat them, the noodles mixed with crayfish soup will be particularly delicious.
Shen Yuhan’s mouth watered at the smell of this heavy and thick aroma, but he is a reserved ger, so he maintained a sitting position, first see how Shan Qihuan ate it, in fact, he didn’t know how to start.
But Shan Qihuan completely misunderstood what he meant, and deepened the meaning.
“You still want me to peel it for you?”
Shen Yuhan naturally went along with it, he looked at the steam rising from the crayfish and said: “It’s hot.”
Shan Huan gave him a disgusted look: “It’s only good when it’s hot, it won’t be good when it’s cold.” As he said this, he put on the transparent gloves provided by the store and started peeling the crayfish, he moved neatly and quickly, and then he put it directly into Shen Yuhan’s bowl, “Eat it, and see if it tastes good.”
“Husband is really amazing.” Shen Yuhan praised him first, then ate the crayfish, after putting the crayfish meat into his mouth, his taste buds tasted what he thought was the most unique modern delicacy so far, and he is full of praise, “It’s so delicious.”
As soon as he ate something delicious, he couldn’t help narrowing his eyes and licking his lower lip involuntarily.
Shan Qihuan saw that he was satisfied with his meal, he peeled off the second one and put it into his bowl, thinking in his heart that Shen Yuhan’s stupid hand has just healed, it would be a bit uneconomical if it was scalded again, he should just peel a few for him first.
Shen Yuhan took a bite of a crayfish and ate it happily, only when he was almost done learning did he put on his gloves, and started peeling the crayfish as well, the first one was peeled slowly, but he was deft with his hands, he still finished it, and put it on his husband’s plate.
“Husband, you eat.” Shen Yuhan was very satisfied with his own masterpiece, this was the first crayfish he had ever peeled.
Shan Qihuan was satisfied, he picked it up and ate it in one bite, but he still said: “You still know how to peel it for me.”
“Then I’ll peel it for you again.” Shen Yuhan excitedly picked up a second one, and when he peeled it again, it went much more smoothly: “Husband, here.”
Shan Qihuan ate the second one again, but he could peel it himself, after eating the crayfish peeled by Shen Yuhan, he reminded him to eat it himself.
Peeling and feeding each other is really cheesy, however, it is quite interesting, his wife’s fair and tender hands are not only used for painting, but also for washing his hands and peeling the crayfish for him.
The two of them finished the crayfish one by one, and at the end, they each still ate a bowl of noodle, which was very satisfying.
They left the private restaurant directly after settling the bill, Shan Qihuan wanted to take Shen Yuhan out for a walk, but it was dark and cold outside, so he had to give up and go home directly.
On the way back, snow fell from the sky like goose feather, Shen Yuhan lay by the car window admiring it, and sighed: “Husband, it’s snowing again.”
“Um, they say it’s not cold when it snows, but I think it’s coldest when it snows.” Shan Qihuan said, everyone loves wind, flower, snow, and moon4風花雪月 (fēng huā xuě yuè): wind, flower, snow and moon, trite poetry subject (idiom); effete language without substance; love affair; romance is in the air; dissipated life; debaucherous life; Originally refers to the natural scenery often described in old poems, later become metaphor about a poem with a pile of words, the content is poor and empty, it also refers to the matter of love or the lustful life., but still needs to be practical, no one wants to go out when it’s cold outside.
“That’s right, how many people would have died in the past.” Shen Yuhan remembered that his father would frown whenever he saw snow, although he knew that they were probably long gone, he still hoped in his heart that they were actually still alive, when he was quiet, he would often think of his family, but lately, he was a little less sad about being away from his home country, and was less likely to want to go back to Qi Kingdom all the time.
Shan Qihuan listened to him speak in a sentimental and melancholy5有感而發 (yǒu gǎn ér fā): to express (something) after feeling touched; explode not without reason. tone, a bit lacking in youthful vigour, and couldn’t help but say: “The past was the past, and there is nothing that can be done, it’s just that they were born at the wrong time6生不逢時 (shēng bù féng shí): lit. to be born at the wrong time (idiom); unlucky (esp. to complain about one’s fate); to have a rough and ill-fated life; born under an unlucky star; ahead of his time; be born out of one’s time; be untimely born.. People of every era have their own way of living, if you think about the war years, those people lived in the flames of war every day, which one is more sad, freezing or fighting?”
Shen Yuhan was suddenly awakened by Shan Qihuan’s words, and he quipped7一語雙關 (yī yǔ shuāng guān): a single phrase has a double meaning; to make a pun; play on words; double entendre; one sentence contains two meanings.: “It’s all sad, so I will cherish my current life.” There is also the fact that he can now fully understand the current characters, and can start to understand modern history, “Husband, I want to buy a history book to read.”
“Fine——” Shan Qihuan lengthened his voice with a bit of indulgence, it’s a good thing that his wife likes to read, “You know how to cultivate yourself.”
“Um, I should read more books, and nourish my body.” Shen Yuhan once again quipped.
Maybe Shan Qihuan still can’t understand his meaning when hear it now, perhaps when he thinks back many years later, he can recall that in fact, during his first encounter with Shen Yuhan, he had already revealed a lot of details.
The next part will be up soon.
