[Such a heartwarming, everyday, and blissful scene, who understands...]
[It made my eyes well up with tears. [wiping away tears] It turns out that people really do cry when they feel happy...]
[It seems like I could bump into couples like this anytime in the park.]
[Who understands the magazine-quality in every frame? I'm tired of pressing the screenshot button...]
Are these two here to film a music video?
The two of them played with the puppy for a while, then went back inside.
Determined to be a lazy Chi Li declined Jiang Lele's invitation to practice, only offering a few casual pointers before going upstairs to the media room to find a movie to watch.
Shen Xunye had already taken his seat and set out snacks, fruit, and drinks.
"What do you want to watch?" Shen Xunye handed the remote control to Chi Li.
Chi Li took out her phone from her pocket and entered her personal live streaming channel. "Let's see what my fans recommend."
Upon hearing his words, the comments section sped up rapidly, with various recommendations and suggestions.
Chi Li eliminated the movies she had already seen and chose one whose title sounded relatively safe.
--From " Stardust Memories ".
Just by looking at the title, you can't even tell what kind of movie it is.
"How about we guess the movie genre?" Chi Li stopped searching for movies and turned to look at Shen Xunye sitting next to her. "Whoever guesses correctly can make a request."
Shen Xunye was peeling oranges for Chi Li to eat later when he heard this and asked, "What if you still don't guess right?"
Chi Li: "If none of you guessed correctly, then let's pretend nothing happened."
"Hmm..." Shen Xunye had no objection, "You go first."
" Stardust Memories..." Chi Li gently stroked his chin, saying thoughtfully, "Let me make a bold guess."
Shen Xunye replied, "What?"
"A science fiction film." Chi Li chuckled, snapping his fingers, and explained his reasoning, "Stardust... it sounds like a story set in space. It's very likely a science fiction film!"
Shen Xunye nodded seriously. "That's right."
Chi Li snatched the orange from his hand and peeled it herself, saying warily, "You can't choose the same one as me."
[Honey, your worries are really a bit unnecessary...]
My wife is still a bit too daring...
[Don't be fooled by Shen Xunye's expressionless face; he's actually holding back a laugh!]
Who on earth would choose such a title for a sci-fi movie?! [laughing and crying emoji]
[It's alright, Shen Xunye might not be able to guess correctly either.]
"Of course," Shen Xunye assured him, then immediately gave his own answer. "Then I'll be bolder, I think... maybe it's a romance film."
Chi Li blinked slowly. "Why?"
Romance movies rarely include 'past events' in their titles, right?
Chi Li considered spy films, but never romance films.
"Because..." Shen Xunye slightly curled the corners of his lips. "I think the fans will most likely recommend this type of movie."
Chi Li suddenly didn't find the orange in her hand appealing anymore. "..."
We forgot to consider off-field factors.
Such ambiguous situations, where a man and a woman are alone together, are indeed perfect for watching romance movies.
Shen Xunye reached for the remote and searched for " Stardust Memories ".
Sure enough, the type section in the profile says "romance".
"You owe me a request," Shen Xunye said cheerfully.
Chi Li pulled a cushion from the side and hugged it to her chest, replying in a muffled voice, "Oh."
" Stardust Memories," a classic romance film produced by a long-established film company, is an old movie from nineteen years ago, the same age as Chi Li.
The film's picture quality isn't top-notch, but it possesses a unique, faded film-like texture and a gentle, warm narrative rhythm, characteristic of old movies.
The story is not complicated; it tells the tale of a young couple who meet in a small town recovering from the devastation of war, and how they overcome obstacles from their era and families to ultimately stay together.
Both of them watched very intently.
Occasionally, he would tilt his head and exchange a few words with the other person about his thoughts on the plot.
The atmosphere was peaceful, warm, and ordinary.
However, as the plot progresses and the relationship between the male and female leads gradually intensifies, the number of highly dramatic and intimate scenes begins to increase.
At first, it was just holding hands, gazing into each other's eyes, and accidental touches of fingertips.
Then, under the eaves on a rainy night, the male protagonist took off his coat and draped it over the shoulders of the shivering female protagonist.
Next came an open-air dance party to celebrate the town's rebirth.
The male and female protagonists danced slowly in the center of the crowd.
The lights were dim, and shadowy figures moved about, their bodies swaying gently to the music as they drew closer and closer.
The male protagonist's hand slowly moved up from the female protagonist's waist, caressed her back, and finally rested on the back of her slender neck.
The female lead tilted her head slightly, closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered like the wings of a startled butterfly.
The music fades, and the camera zooms in.
Two young and beautiful faces slowly drew closer in the light and shadow, and finally, their lips met with unwavering certainty.
A lingering, passionate kiss that lasted for more than ten seconds.
The camera captured their perfectly aligned lips from different angles.
The home theater was so quiet that only the slightly unsteady breathing of the two people in the movie could be heard.
Upon learning that " Stardust Memories " was a romance film, Chi Li was prepared to see intimate scenes.
But when the broadcast actually reached this point, he still felt a little... uneasy.
If it were just the two of them, without any cameras on, he wouldn't care, and might even start comparing them.
But now, he's under the watchful eyes of countless people hoping something will happen between them...
My wife seems shy.
[Want a kiss? [Evil grin]]
[If you haven't kissed me by now, that's a bit impolite.]
[Ahhhh, the atmosphere's all set, let's just kiss! Let's kiss! [Please]]
Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!
[Honey, don't be shy yet, you'll be the one being shy later 0.0]
The thought of being under everyone's watchful eyes made Chi Li's cheeks burn.
The fluffy stuffing in his arms seemed to have become prickly.
He quietly pulled the cushion up a little, trying to cover most of his face, leaving only his eyes staring at the screen.
But his gaze was unfocused, his attention seemingly wandering.
He could feel that Shen Xunye's body seemed to tense up slightly as well.
His unique aura, fermented by the darkness and ambiguous light and shadow, became clearer and more... aggressive.
Finally, the kissing scene was over.
Before Chi Li could even breathe a sigh of relief, the scene shifted to a bright and sunny morning.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the blinds, falling on the two people sleeping in each other's arms.
The male protagonist wakes up first, turns to his side, and quietly looks at the sleeping face of the person next to him, his eyes so tender they could melt water.
Then, he leaned down and kissed the heroine's smooth forehead, then followed the bridge of her nose down to kiss her slightly pouting, rosy lips again.
