This kiss was filled with a languid and intimate sensuality unique to the morning.
The camera pans down, giving a close-up of the two people's intertwined fingers.
"... Ahem." Chi Li finally couldn't help but cough very slightly.
He tried to break the thick, ambiguous atmosphere.
Shen Xunye turned her head to look at him, the light reflecting off the screen flickering on her face. "... What's wrong?"
"... I'm a little thirsty." Chi Li hugged the pillow in her arms tighter and replied casually.
Shen Xunye picked a bottle of plum green tea from the table, unscrewed it, and handed it over.
Chi Li took it, took two small sips, and politely thanked him. "... Thank you."
[I'm so thirsty, a couple of sips of a drink probably won't quench my thirst, right? [Nosebleed]]
[Honey, you look guilty, don't you think? [smile]]
[Seriously, wouldn't this be so awkward if you didn't have something to say? [Nosebleed]]
I beg you, just kiss me, do it for me.
[I wasn't even there, why is my heart pounding so hard?!]
If I don't see the scene I'm looking forward to today, then all my good qualities will vanish...
Unfortunately, after the morning kiss, the film enters a relatively slow narrative phase.
Against a backdrop of cheerful music, heartwarming scenes of the male and female protagonists' daily lives after they confess their feelings for each other are presented.
The good times didn't last long, as the male protagonist was summoned by his superiors to assist in a construction project elsewhere.
On the eve of their parting, the two were extremely reluctant to separate and made vows to each other.
Scenes from their respective lives unfolded one by one, and they didn't meet again until two years later.
Almost as soon as they met, the two embraced tightly.
Then came a passionate kiss.
Their lips and tongues intertwined, their breaths mingled, creating a breathtaking and primal emotional tension.
In the home theater, the lingering ambiguous atmosphere was suddenly ignited by the passion on the screen, becoming scalding and suffocating.
"... So many kissing scenes." Chi Li had put down the pillow at some point, leaned forward slightly, and unconsciously clasped her hands together on her knees.
"It's a romance film after all." Beside him, Shen Xunye's breathing deepened. "I can understand."
The camera started shaking.
The two kissed their way from outside the door to inside, from the doorway to the sofa, to the desk, and then... to the bed.
Without saying a word, they tacitly unbuttoned each other's clothes.
Shen Xunye grabbed the remote control from the side, pressed pause first, and then pressed power off.
The blush-inducing scene vanished quickly, leaving only an awkward silence.
Utter darkness engulfed the home theater.
The live stream room, where the two people could barely be seen by the light from the screen, was plunged into darkness as well.
[ Shen Xunye!! Who gave you permission to turn off the lights at this crucial moment?? Turn them on right now! [Wailing]]
[Who can understand the horror I felt when I was rolling around in bed with my phone in my hand, and suddenly everything disappeared, and I saw my own grotesque face...]
[Production crew, why doesn't your camera have an infrared night vision function? [Smiling] Answer me!! (Shakes vigorously)]
Can't see anything? No problem, just use your imagination... [nosebleed]
[Everyone, please be quiet! Listen carefully! [Prick up your ears]]
Sight is suddenly deprived, while other senses are amplified.
Chi Li could hear her own heart pounding like a drum, the uneven breathing of both of them, and the extremely faint rustling sound of Shen Xunye's clothes rubbing against the sofa.
The sofa cushions beside him sank slightly, and a coat, still warm and familiar, descended from above, gently covering his head.
The space beneath the coat was even smaller, darker, and warmer, filled with Shen Xunye's aura.
This was more chilling than anything I had just seen on the screen.
Shen Xunye's hand groped and covered his hand, which was clenched into a fist on his knee.
The fingertips lightly caressed the back of the hand, carrying an indescribable sense of comfort.
Then, Shen Xunye's body tilted slightly towards him.
Hot breath brushed against Chi Li's earlobes and neck, bringing a tingling, numbing sensation.
He instinctively closed his eyes.
Although it makes no difference whether your eyes are closed or not in complete darkness.
He could feel Shen Xunye's face getting closer and closer.
The warm breath became increasingly clear.
Finally, soft, slightly dry lips gently landed on his forehead.
A very light, fleeting kiss, like a feather brushing against you.
The lips didn't leave, but instead followed his brow and the bridge of his nose, slowly moving downwards with undeniable patience.
Chi Li's breathing became completely disordered.
Shen Xunye accurately captured his lips in her mouth.
After a gentle, soothing kiss, her teeth were forcefully pried open.
He was forced to tilt his head back to receive the silent, tender kiss.
This kiss was completely different from the dramatic kisses on screen.
It takes place in double darkness, without the embellishment of light and shadow, without the accompaniment of music, only the most direct intertwining of lips and tongue.
But this makes it all the more real, more intense, more dizzying, and more incapable of thought.
A small coat became a safe haven where they could kiss each other with peace of mind.
All senses were amplified, and all shame and apprehension were temporarily obscured by the thick darkness.
[I think I heard sobbing and groaning. [Stunned]]
All I heard outside the window was an older woman buying groceries and an older man arguing...
I pressed my ear against the speaker, but I still couldn't hear anything...
[There was absolutely no sound! Anyone who heard whimpering or groaning is just hallucinating because they're obsessed with the pairing.]
[Seriously] Can you tell me what they were doing, turning off the movie and not talking in the dark?
[Meditating.]
[Sleeping. (Referring to simply sleeping)]
[↑You just finished watching porn, how can you sleep without doing something?]
[I'm leaving it to your imagination since I'm not saying anything. [Nosebleed] I have to say, Night Ashes Dawn are pretty good at marketing.]
[Are you saying that you didn't actually do anything, but you can still make people misunderstand and think you made a big sale? [laughing and crying emoji]]
I'm secretly thrilled to have found someone so good at selling! [Smirking]
[I won't allow this to happen! I want straight candy! Turn on the lights and start selling again!!! (Throwing a tantrum)]
Just before he was about to blurt out, Chi Li gave Shen Xunye's arm a couple of firm squeezes as a hint, and the kiss slowly came to an end.
Shen Xunye raised his hand and placed it on the back of his head, pressing it gently with a clumsy, comforting gesture.
Chi Li stepped forward and nuzzled Shen Xunye's nose.
"Hmm... I need to explain this to the audience." Shen Xunye turned on the lights in the home theater, leaned close to the nearest camera, and said seriously, "Because the movie's plot isn't really suitable for screening, we sat quietly for a while after turning off the screen."
