On the other side, as Liu Shang and Jiang Ruolin entered the cinema hall, as expected, there wasn't a soul inside.
"What are you spacing out for? Come on, let's find our seats."
Seeing Jiang Ruolin stunned, Liu Shang, in a good mood, put his arm around her waist and led her towards the middle rows.
After they found their row and were walking towards their seats, they saw a bouquet of roses and a stuffed toy bear about the same size as the bouquet waiting at their respective spots.
In the next moment, Jiang Ruolin, who seemed frozen in place, slowly turned to look at Liu Shang, her eyes filled with surprise and emotion.
Liu Shang smiled and pulled Jiang Ruolin into a hug from behind, resting his head on her shoulder. They whispered intimately.
"Tsk, the person who sat here to watch a movie last time was so careless, leaving the roses and gifts behind."
"Tsk, tsk, look at this little bear, poor thing hasn't even had its packaging opened."
If Jiang Ruolin believed his lie, her IQ would probably drop to zero.
"Liu Shang, dare you be so annoying?!"
"But, you really did surprise me, you rascal."
"Here, this is your reward."
With a hint of playful indignation, Jiang Ruolin turned her head slightly, her face flushed, and lightly kissed Liu Shang on the cheek.
However, Liu Shang wasn't satisfied so easily. He leaned forward as well, their breaths mingling, and a spark ignited between their lips.
"I can guarantee there's no alcohol on my breath now."
"No, someone might see!"
Saying this, Jiang Ruolin, like a startled little rabbit, chuckled and fled to her seat, happily cradling the bouquet of roses and the stuffed bear.
Liu Shang, however, asked a question with a smile before sitting down next to Jiang Ruolin.
"Who would be here?!!!"
As the seconds ticked by, the movie was about to start, but still no one else entered the theater.
At this moment, Jiang Ruolin looked at Liu Shang beside her in surprise, "Why is it so strange today? The movie is almost starting, and there's not a single person here?!"
Just then, the lights in the theater dimmed, and the movie officially began.
Liu Shang smiled and then, with a comfortable, roguish move, leaned over and wrapped his arms around Jiang Ruolin.
"Isn't it good that there's no one here?"
"Maybe fewer people came to watch movies today, or maybe no one likes the movie you picked, 'Curse of the Golden Flower'."
"It's Sunday today, how could no one come to watch a movie?"
"Besides, 'Curse of the Golden Flower' has the biggest cast and is the most popular one showing!"
After an instinctive question, the incredibly intelligent Jiang Ruolin simultaneously recalled Liu Shang's earlier words, 'Who would be here'.
Immediately, a possibility she could barely believe surfaced in her mind.
"Liu Shang, who did you get to buy the movie tickets?"
Liu Shang smiled, "Li Huaiyuan."
"The head of the Student Union's External Relations Department, Li Huaiyuan?"
"Liu Shang! You didn't buy out the entire theater, did you?!"
Liu Shang shrugged his shoulders, "My wife is so smart, I guessed you wouldn't be fooled."
"Who's your wife!"
"Liu Shang, are you crazy? Are you planning to starve next semester, and the semester after that?"
Liu Shang smiled and pulled Jiang Ruolin closer, "I'm not afraid of starving, especially when I have a girlfriend who can be my meal ticket."
"How about it, are you not afraid of being seen now?"
"No..."
"I need to stay away from you, it's too dangerous here!"
Jiang Ruolin playfully dodged him to the side, but Liu Shang yawned.
"Sigh, I was so excited to watch a movie with you today that I barely slept last night."
"So tired, I'm going to take a nap. You watch the movie properly."
Saying that, Liu Shang, in a very roguish manner, leaned in.
A few minutes later, as the movie progressed, the temperature in the theater seemed to gradually rise, and their heartbeats quickened in tandem.
Finally, their breaths mingled.
After feeling Liu Shang's advance for a moment, Jiang Ruolin began to reciprocate.
Then, their minds slowly went blank, and it felt as if time itself stood still.
This was their first kiss. Even in their previous lives, their fragile relationship had ended abruptly before they could reach this point.
After an unknown amount of time, they parted briefly due to lack of oxygen, their breaths coming in ragged gasps.
Reflected in the light of the movie screen, Liu Shang could see that Jiang Ruolin's ears were already flushed red.
Beautiful, like the morning sun!
The next moment, the two of them clung to each other like magnets, wishing they would never be apart.
After an unknown amount of time, the two of them leaned against each other, quietly watching the movie screen in front of them.
"It's all your fault, we couldn't even watch a movie properly."
"Sigh, what's so good about this movie anyway?"
"I bet in a few years, all you'll remember is the song 'Chrysanthemum Terrace' and that the actresses had good figures."
Hearing Liu Shang's words, Jiang Ruolin disdainfully lifted one of his fingers and removed the paw that had been clinging to her clothes.
"Since you think they have good figures, then just keep looking at them. Why are you coming to me?"
Liu Shang chuckled and reclaimed his territory, "Although we're still growing, it's already quite spectacular."
"But it would be even better if we could remove these layers of obstruction and see the true appearance."
Jiang Ruolin, her face flushed, gently pressed his paw down and chided him playfully, "You big pervert, don't even dream about it!"
Finally, the movie ended amidst Liu Shang's regret, and the two of them walked out of the cinema hand in hand.
As they reached the cinema entrance, Jiang Ruolin took a photo with her phone.
"I think I will never forget this day, this movie."
Liu Shang smiled, "Actually, if you want, we can come often."
Jiang Ruolin glanced at him with a slight blush, "Do you still remember the three rules we agreed on just now?"
"When there are a lot of people or acquaintances, behave yourself, and NO fooling around!"
After this movie, the relationship between Jiang Ruolin and Liu Shang deepened, evolving from innocent to increasingly sweet.
They would always find small opportunities in school to get close.
On Tuesday, they even treated the other three people in Liu Shang's dorm, officially announcing their relationship.
Zheng Shiwei and Fu Liang were incredibly envious, while Cheng Meng, who also lived locally in Fengcheng, was utterly astonished.
However, before Liu Shang could fully enjoy this sweet period, a technical report for a company with a client once again made Liu Shang's life busy.
