First Kiss

Meanwhile, when Liu Shang and Jiang Ruolin entered the theater, unsurprisingly, there was not a single person inside.

"What are you standing there for? Come on, let's find our seats."

Seeing Jiang Ruolin zoning out, Liu Shang, in a rather good mood, directly wrapped an arm around her waist and led her toward the middle rows.

Then, after they found their row and walked toward the center seats, they saw a bouquet of roses and a teddy bear roughly the same size as the bouquet placed on their respective seats.

The next moment, Jiang Ruolin, who seemed frozen in place, slowly turned to look at Liu Shang, her eyes filled with surprise and emotion.

At that moment, Liu Shang smiled and hugged Jiang Ruolin from behind, resting his head directly on her shoulder as they nuzzled close together.

"Sigh, the people who watched a movie here last time were really careless. They actually forgot their roses and gifts here."

"Look at this little bear. Poor thing, it hasn't even been unwrapped."

If she believed his lie, Jiang Ruolin's IQ would probably have to drop to zero.

"Liu Shang, can you not be so annoying?!"

"But still, you bad guy really did surprise me."

"Here, this is your reward."

With a hint of coquettish reproach, Jiang Ruolin turned her flushed face and lightly kissed Liu Shang on the cheek.

But how could Liu Shang possibly be satisfied so easily? He leaned closer as well, their breaths mingling as faint sparks already flickered between their lips.

"I guarantee there's definitely no alcohol smell now."

"No, what if someone sees us?!"

As she spoke, Jiang Ruolin laughed and fled to her seat like a startled little rabbit, lovingly clutching the roses and teddy bear in her arms.

Liu Shang merely smiled and sat down beside her after asking, "Where would anyone come from?!!!"

Second by second, the movie was about to begin, yet no one else entered the theater.

Jiang Ruolin looked at Liu Shang beside her in surprise. "Why is today so strange? The movie is about to start, but there isn't even one other person here?!"

Just then, the lights in the theater went out, and the movie officially began.

Liu Shang smiled, then brazenly leaned over and wrapped both arms around Jiang Ruolin.

"Isn't it better with no one around?"

"Maybe there just aren't many people coming to the movies today. Or maybe nobody likes the Curse of the Golden Flower you picked."

"Today is Sunday. How could nobody come to watch a movie?"

"And Curse of the Golden Flower has the biggest cast and the most popularity among the current releases!"

After voicing her doubts without thinking, the exceptionally clever Jiang Ruolin also remembered Liu Shang's earlier words: "Where would anyone come from?"

A possibility she could hardly believe immediately surfaced in her mind.

"Liu Shang, who did you have buy the movie tickets?"

Liu Shang smiled. "Li Huaiyuan."

"Li Huaiyuan, the head of the Student Union's External Relations Department?"

"Liu Shang! You didn't buy out the entire theater, did you?!!!"

Liu Shang spread his hands. "My wife is so smart. I knew I wouldn't be able to hide it from you."

"Who's your wife?!"

"Liu Shang, are you crazy? Are you planning to go hungry for the rest of this semester, or even next semester?"

Liu Shang smiled and pulled Jiang Ruolin into his arms. "Going hungry isn't scary. After all, I have a girlfriend meal ticket I can latch onto."

"So, you're not worried about anyone seeing us now, are you?"

"No..."

"I need to stay farther away from you. You're too dangerous!"

Jiang Ruolin laughed and shifted farther to the side, but Liu Shang yawned.

"Sigh, just thinking about coming to the movies with you today kept me from sleeping much last night."

"I'm so sleepy. I'll take a nap. Watch the movie properly."

As he spoke, Liu Shang shamelessly moved closer.

A few minutes later, as the movie continued, the temperature in the theater seemed to gradually rise, and both of their heartbeats began to accelerate.

At last, their breaths met.

After feeling Liu Shang's advance for a moment, Jiang Ruolin began to respond to him as well.

Then, both of their minds gradually went blank, and even time itself seemed to stop at that moment.

This was their first kiss. Even in their previous lives, their fragile relationship had ended abruptly before they could reach this point.

No one knew how long it was before they finally pulled apart due to lack of oxygen, both breathing heavily.

Under the light cast by the movie screen, Liu Shang could see that even Jiang Ruolin's ears had turned red.

She was as beautiful as the morning glow!

The next moment, they clung to each other again like magnets, wishing they would never have to part.

No one knew how long passed before they nestled against each other and quietly watched the movie screen ahead.

"It's all your fault. We didn't even get to watch a movie properly."

"Sigh, what's so good about this movie anyway?"

"After a few years, you'll probably only remember the song 'Chrysanthemum Terrace' and the actresses' nice figures."

Hearing Liu Shang's words, Jiang Ruolin disdainfully picked up one of his fingers and removed the wandering hand that had been lingering on her clothes.

"Since you think their figures are so nice, just keep watching them. Why come bother me?"

Liu Shang chuckled and reclaimed his high ground. "Although we're still growing vigorously, we're already quite spectacular."

"But it would be even better if I could get past all these layers of obstruction and see the true face of Mount Lu."

Jiang Ruolin, her face flushed crimson, gently pressed down his wandering hand and huffed coquettishly. "You big pervert, dream on!"

At last, the movie ended despite Liu Shang's lingering regret, and the two of them walked out of the theater together, looking very intimate.

When they reached the theater entrance, Jiang Ruolin did not forget to take a photo with her phone.

"I think I'll never forget this day or this movie."

Liu Shang smiled. "Actually, if you want, we can come often."

Jiang Ruolin glanced at him with slightly flushed cheeks. "Do you remember the three rules we agreed on earlier?"

"When there are lots of people around or acquaintances nearby, behave yourself. You! Are! Not! Allowed! To! Mess! Around!"

After that movie, the relationship between Jiang Ruolin and Liu Shang underwent another transformation, becoming sweeter and sweeter after its innocent beginnings.

At school, they always found little opportunities to steal moments of intimacy.

On Tuesday, they even treated the other three people from Liu Shang's dormitory to a meal, formally announcing their relationship.

It left Zheng Shiwei and Fu Liang incomparably envious, while Cheng Meng, whose home was also in Wind City, was utterly shocked.

However, before Liu Shang could fully enjoy this wonderful, sweet time, a technical presentation between his company and the client made his life busy once more.
