It seems that sleep is much more important to Su Huaiming than he is.
This was Fu Jingfan's own suggestion. Seeing Su Huaiming like this, he couldn't bear to go back on his word, so he could only silently take the quilt and sleep in the study for the first time in his life.
Fortunately, he ate a big meal last night, and since he's just sleeping in the study all day, there shouldn't be any problem.
Who would have thought that Fu Jingfan would sleep for four days straight?
Su Huaiming had already adjusted his biological clock, but he was still shaken and didn't offer to let Fu Jingfan come back to sleep.
Fu Jingfan knew he was in the wrong, and being considerate of Su Huaiming's feelings, he didn't insist on returning to the master bedroom, but wanted to find a suitable opportunity.
Su Huaiming and Ji Mingzhe have always had a good relationship. Ji Mingzhe's first movie after his comeback is about to be released, and he shared this good news with Su Huaiming.
Su Huaiming was also very happy for Ji Mingzhe. He immediately forwarded the Weibo and planned to go see the premiere that evening. He would then write a serious film review and promote Ji Mingzhe's film.
Ji Mingzhe rose to fame at a young age and has a keen eye for talent, always managing to pick out good scripts.
This film has a profound theme; it tells the story of ordinary people, and its overall style is dark and tragic, so it has a certain threshold for viewers.
When Fu Xiaoxiao learned that Su Huaiming was going to see a movie, she immediately insisted on going with him. Su Huaiming usually went along with Fu Xiaoxiao on such small matters, but considering the theme of the movie and Fu Xiaoxiao's age, he still hesitated a bit.
Fu Jingfan seized the opportunity to interject, "This movie isn't suitable for you. Next time, if we come across a good animated film, the two of us will go with you."
Fu Xiaoxiao wasn't the kind of child who could be bought off with "I'll definitely do it next time." She immediately pouted, trying to whine and beg Su Huaiming.
Just as he was about to move closer to Su Huaiming, he met Fu Jingfan's gaze.
Fu Xiaoxiao immediately stopped moving, her pouting lips disappeared, and she revealed an angelic smile, indicating that she was a good girl.
After successfully getting rid of Fu Xiaoxiao, Fu Jingfan pretended that he had just gone out with Su Huaiming.
How could Su Huaiming not see through Fu Jingfan's meaning? He raised an eyebrow and looked at him meaningfully.
Fu Jingfan has sharp eyes and a cold expression. He looks serious and solemn. Who would have thought that he would do something as childish as "pretending to bump into someone"?
Su Huaiming had suffered a lot at Fu Jingfan before, and now that he had the chance, he was determined to get his revenge. So he deliberately asked, "Where are you going?"
Fu Jingfan looked over with a deep gaze, but was interrupted by Su Huaiming just as he was about to speak.
"You're not going to the movies too, are you? What a coincidence!"
"Unfortunately." Fu Jingfan showed no embarrassment at being teased. Unconventional, he looked intently at Su Huaiming and asked sincerely, "I'm not particularly interested in movies; I came here specifically to see you."
Su Huaiming: "..."
He had intended to set a trap for Fu Jingfan, but in the end, it was he who fell into it. Su Huaiming choked for several seconds, coughed awkwardly, looked up at the sky, and pretended that he hadn't said anything.
Seeing Su Huaiming's expression, Fu Jingfan knew that Su Huaiming had tacitly acknowledged his presence, so he naturally took Su Huaiming's hand and intertwined their fingers.
Su Huaiming froze for a few seconds, his ears turning red, his eyes darting around, not daring to look at Fu Jingfan.
The two are a legally married couple, but Su Huaiming acts like a high school student in a puppy love relationship, only daring to be secretly sweet, afraid of being discovered.
The two had been walking hand in hand for a while when Su Huaiming suddenly saw pedestrians appear at the intersection.
The distance between them was so great that the figures looked extremely small, and only their outlines could be vaguely discerned.
However, Su Huaiming still tensed up, warily shaking off Fu Jingfan's hand and creating distance, pretending that the two were not familiar with each other.
Fu Jingfan: "..."
He hadn't expected Su Huaiming to do this. He shook his empty hand and then looked at Su Huaiming with a questioning gaze.
The pedestrians simply waited for the green light at the intersection, then turned and went to the next street; they didn't come over.
Seeing that the crisis had passed, Su Huaiming looked around and, finding no one else, walked back to Fu Jingfan's side and whispered, "We need to be careful outside, so we don't get photographed."
Fu Jingfan and Su Huaiming were on different wavelengths: Fu Jingfan asked, "So what if I was photographed?"
Hearing this, Su Huaiming looked at Fu Jingfan in shock, completely bewildered by his words, "If we're photographed, we'll be trending on social media, and everyone will know we were holding hands in the street!"
Fu Jingfan, quite the opposite of Su Huaiming, was eager to buy trending topics and spread the word, so he casually retorted, "Don't you want everyone to know?"
Su Huaiming had only been in the entertainment industry for a short time and only had a superficial understanding, but compared to Fu Jingfan, an outsider, he was still the one who understood. He immediately explained the stakes, "Knowing and being photographed are two different things. Our photos and videos will be seen by many more people, maybe even Xiao Xiao. When she comes to question us, what will you say? And what about true love..."
Su Huaiming paused abruptly at this point.
He figured Fu Jingfan probably didn't know about their CP (couple) hashtag, so he skipped that point and continued, "Some people use this as material to edit videos, or analyze a lot of information from it; nothing can be hidden!"
Su Huaiming recalled his experience browsing the supertopic that time, and his ears turned red, his tongue felt sore, and he couldn't say a word.
Fu Jingfan didn't miss Su Huaiming's emotions. Although he couldn't understand them, he didn't provoke Su Huaiming at this critical moment and chose to cooperate.
Su Huaiming is in a good mood tonight, he can legitimately go back to the master bedroom to sleep.
"Okay," Fu Jingfan said, "I'll be more careful."
Su Huaiming nodded in relief.
The movie theater was located in the City Center, and there were more pedestrians on the street. Su Huaiming immediately walked to the other side, pulled his hat brim down, and winked at Fu Jingfan, telling him to stay out of the way so they wouldn't be photographed together.
Fu Jingfan remained silent for a few seconds, then sighed helplessly and could only slow down, telling Su Huaiming to go to the movie theater and wait.
In a daze, he felt that he and Su Huaiming were having a secret relationship that should not be known to outsiders, but the reality was that many people knew about their relationship and were not afraid of being found out.
Fu Jingfan waited outside for ten minutes before entering the movie theater and seeing Su Huaiming already seated.
He walked over slowly, placed the popcorn and drink in Su Huaiming's arms, and sat down next to him.
Five minutes before the movie started, the lights were still on, and Su Huaiming, afraid of being exposed, didn't even turn his head to look at Fu Jingfan.
Fu Jingfan had been cooperating with Su Huaiming, but the moment the lights went out, he accurately took Su Huaiming's hand, his grip gentle yet undeniably firm.
Su Huaiming tried to break free a couple of times, but seeing that Fu Jingfan wouldn't let go, he gave in.
He came to the movie not to go on a date with Fu Jingfan, but to write a film review and help promote Ji Mingzhe.
So during the movie, Su Huaiming was completely focused on the plot, so much so that he completely ignored Fu Jingfan sitting next to him.
Fu Jingfan's mind was entirely on Su Huaiming, intently watching his profile, but Su Huaiming complained that his gaze was too intense and was disturbing his movie viewing.
It took Fu Jingfan a full half hour to process this, and he reluctantly admitted that in Su Huaiming's mind, he was not only less important than sleep, but even less important than movies.
The film has a profound theme and an open ending. Even after watching the movie, Su Huaiming's mind was still preoccupied with the protagonist's fate, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
They walked along the bustling street. To avoid suspicion, Fu Jingfan couldn't get close to Su Huaiming, so he could only send Su Huaiming a message.
Upon seeing the word "dessert" in the message, Su Huaiming immediately became interested. After the movie ended, he looked at Fu Jingfan for the first time with anticipation in his eyes, urging him to hurry up and buy some.
Fu Jingfan: "..."
He no longer wanted to compare his importance to the dessert in Su Huaiming's heart. He sighed helplessly and walked forward.
Fu Jingfan never lets himself suffer a loss. As he passed Su Huaiming, he quietly kneaded Su Huaiming's little finger with his fingertip, a gesture full of tenderness.
The skin that came into contact with it felt like it was being electrocuted, a tingling, numb sensation that started from his little finger and spread to half of Su Huaiming's body. His sensitive ear tips gradually turned crimson, making one's heart itch with desire.
Their movements were very discreet; the streets were bustling with people, yet no one noticed.
Su Huaiming was particularly concerned about these things, feeling ashamed and annoyed, but Fu Jingfan acted too quickly, not giving him a chance to retaliate.
Su Huaiming was wearing a mask and a hat, his entire face completely covered, with only his eyes showing.
He slightly raised his head, his eyes reddening, and glared at Fu Jingfan with his dark, watery eyes.
This did not deter Fu Jingfan; instead, it made him want to tease Su Huaiming Fu Jingfan more maliciously in order to get a greater response and satisfy his dark thoughts.
Fu Jingfan remembered his ultimate goal, and rationally suppressed the thought, turning around and walking away.
Su Huaiming stood still, scrolling through movie reviews while waiting for Fu Jingfan to return.
But just five minutes later, Su Huaiming heard someone calling his name from behind.
It was a very pleasant female voice, tinged with surprise and uncertainty.
Su Huaiming was stunned on the spot.
He subconsciously touched his face and found that his mask hadn't fallen off, so no one could see what he looked like.
Su Huaiming froze for a moment, not turning his head, but the footsteps behind him slowly approached.
Three female college students walked over, looking at Su Huaiming hesitantly, not daring to approach, for fear of being too presumptuous.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Su Huaiming could only smile helplessly, revealing a pair of bright black eyes from under his hat brim. He winked at the girls and made a shushing gesture.
The three girls were surprised to actually run into Su Huaiming on the street. Su Huaiming even interacted with them, and they were all quite astonished, covering their mouths and screaming silently.
Su Huaiming was afraid of causing a commotion, so he quickly went over, worried that the girls might actually scream.
Once the three girls had calmed down, Su Huaiming, unable to contain his curiosity, asked, "How did you recognize me?"
A round-faced girl with bright eyes said, "Your back view looks a lot like yours. Actually, we weren't sure, but we called out tentatively, and we didn't expect you to actually respond!"
Su Huaiming: "..."
He hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and he was left both amused and exasperated.
Having finally caught up with their idol, the girls were quite excited and chatted with Su Huaiming non-stop, speaking very quickly, as if they would lose out if they omitted a single word.
"Su Huaiming, did you come here alone?"
Afraid of trending on social media, Su Huaiming blurted out, "Yes, I came alone," after hearing this.
As it happened, Fu Jingfan was standing not far away with the dessert in his hand and clearly heard those words.
He paused, a strange feeling creeping into his heart, but he didn't confront Su Huaiming. Instead, he stood discreetly behind a tree, avoiding everyone's gaze.
After the three girls left, Fu Jingfan walked over and handed the dessert to Su Huaiming.
Su Huaiming took it and spoke to Fu Jingfan with a smile.
Seeing the smile in Su Huaiming's eyes, Fu Jingfan's slight dissatisfaction dissipated, and he chatted gently with Su Huaiming.
The City Center was too crowded, so the two didn't continue shopping and took a bus home.
Su Huaiming was a little hungry, so he opened a dessert.
While he was eating, Fu Jingfan received a phone call. His tone remained unchanged, but he paused for a full five or six seconds before simply saying, "I understand."
Su Huaiming keenly noticed that Fu Jingfan's mood was off and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I have some company business to attend to." Fu Jingfan turned to look at Su Huaiming, his eyes dark and deep. "I won't be coming home to sleep tonight."
Su Huaiming sensed that this was important and asked with concern, "Is it urgent? Why don't you put me down? It's very close to the apartment; I can walk back by myself."
Fu Jingfan refused and insisted on escorting Su Huaiming downstairs.
Fearing he would delay Fu Jingfan, Su Huaiming immediately opened the car door after the car stopped.
