The movie was great, with a captivating plot and stunning special effects. It was much easier to concentrate in the theater than watching it at home on a tablet or TV.
The only thing Xie Jinghui worried about—the possibility that Shen Shuangjian would eat more popcorn—did not happen.
Because the popcorn served at the movie theater didn't come with disposable gloves, and Shen Shuangjian didn't want to use her hands to handle the popcorn.
So neither of them touched the bucket of popcorn.
In fact, Xie Jinghui had no idea what the movie's plot was, because he kept looking at Shen Shuangjian, quietly watching Shen Shuangjian profile in the dark environment, using the light from the big screen.
Although Shen Shuangjian's eyes were covered, it didn't stop Xie Jinghui knowing what kind of gaze Shen Shuangjian would have on the screen behind those glasses.
He was focused, his eyes glued to the screen. When he saw the dazzling special effects, Xie Jinghui guessed he would widen his eyes slightly and show a look of surprise.
When witnessing heated arguments, Xie Jinghui guessed that he would subconsciously furrow his brows, and even his eyes would tremble slightly when the noise was at its loudest.
Besides these, Xie Jinghui will see many more things that fascinate him than movies.
For example, when Shen Shuangjian pushed the glasses frame, her slender, white fingers shone with light, as delicate as expensive porcelain, long and thin, with a thin layer of powder on the fingertips.
For example, when he drinks juice, his slightly fleshy lips will first find and bite the straw, then gently sip it, and after swallowing, his lips will still have a faint sheen of moisture.
Time always seemed to pass both long and short when I was watching Shen Shuangjian.
The time seemed to stretch out because every second felt deliberately extended to Xie Jinghui, and in that single second, there was an endless flutter in his heart.
The film was brief because Xie Jinghui realized that as he watched, an hour and a half of the movie passed by in the blink of an eye, his heart pounding.
The movie ended just in time for dinner.
Xie Jinghui led Shen Shuangjian out by the hand, without coaxing Shen Shuangjian to have dinner with him, for a very simple reason.
Because Shen Sixian had already returned to the Shen Residence from the company and was sending messages to Shen Shuangjian asking when she would be home.
So the date seemed to end faster than expected, and it wasn't as tender and romantic as I had imagined.
Just before leaving the cinema, Xie Jinghui suddenly stopped in her tracks.
" Zhizhi."
Shen Shuangjian had no choice but to stop as well. Shen Shuangjian around, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"May I kiss you today?"
Xie Jinghui lowered his eyes, and in the bright lamplight, he raised his hand and slowly approached Shen Shuangjian.
No matter how many times, the moment Xie Jinghui gets close to Shen Shuangjian, the phrase "heart-fluttering" always comes to mind.
Xie Jinghui's gaze was so tender, like a pool of gentle spring water, all the coldness had faded away, leaving only an almost devout feeling.
Her pink earlobes suddenly felt hot at that moment. Shen Shuangjian that he was holding her face, but she kept her eyes downcast and dared not look up.
"It has to be... very gentle, no, don't bully me."
Shen Shuangjian had barely uttered her words when Xie Jinghui leaned in and kissed her. The kiss was light and gentle, filled with endless tenderness and a myriad of delicate emotions.
Xie Jinghui's gentle restraint always left Shen Shuangjian unable to break free. His whole body went limp, his calves trembled, and he could only rely on Xie Jinghui's arm around his waist to avoid falling.
"Hmm..."
After only a few minutes of kissing, Shen Shuangjian his delicate lips couldn't take it anymore. He gently pushed Xie Jinghui's chest away, trying to back away.
"I don't want it anymore, I don't want it... don't kiss me anymore."
Shen Shuangjian that it was too fast and Xie Jinghui hadn't even felt satisfied, Shen Shuang had to stop.
An insatiable man is like a ravenous beast, scraping flesh and bone with barbs. Xie Jinghui Shen Shuangjian's upper lip, not quite revealing her cupid's bow.
"Okay, whatever you say."
In the past, even if Shen Shuangjian said no, Xie Jinghui wouldn't have stopped so obediently when kissing.
He would gently peck at Shen Shuangjian's lips, then use sweet words or sneaky little gestures to make her Shen Shuangjian her composure and forget to stop him.
So his abrupt stop this time actually made Shen Shuangjian blink in confusion.
"I... I want to go home."
Shen Shuangjian always felt shy and embarrassed after being kissed so deeply.
His legs were still a little weak, so he could only slowly crawl into the car with Xie Jinghui's arm protecting him.
Before the car door closed, Xie Jinghui against the door and slowly leaned closer to Shen Shuangjian inside the car.
" Zhizhi." His voice was as gentle as his gaze. " Huijian."
When Shen Shuangjian returned to the Shen Residence, Shen Sixian had already returned from the company. He was sitting in the dining room, waiting for Shen Shuangjian to have dinner together.
Perhaps because she had just met Xie Jinghui, Shen Shuangjian felt inexplicably guilty when she met Shen Sixian's gaze.
" Zhizhi, where did you go today?"
Shen Sixian didn't privately ask the driver where Shen Shuangjian had gone or who she had met that day.
He was happy that Shen Shuangjian could have her own life and entertainment, but at the same time he also hoped that when his Zhizhi came home, she could share the joy of the day with her brother.
"I went to see a movie," Shen Shuangjian replied, her eyes lowered.
As expected, reasonable, and indeed very much in line with Shen Shuangjian's recent behavior and preferences.
"I'll go with you next time."
Shen Sixian picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, her expression calm and gentle. "Eat, but tonight, we can't let the movie distract us from sleep again."
Night was approaching, but the online world was always a bustling and intense place.
On Weibo, a post with very few views finally started to generate some buzz after two hours.
[I bumped into a really handsome guy and a beautiful girl with amazing style while watching a movie. I'm so envious.]
The accompanying text on this Weibo included two photos taken at a distance and zoomed in; the resolution was not very clear, and they looked a bit blurry.
The picture shows two figures with significantly different body types: one is dressed in a suit and has a tall, slender build, while the other is dressed in soft, comfortable clothing and has a slim, upright figure.
The next picture shows the two people's profiles intersecting. Although not very clear, their superior features and the atmosphere reminiscent of a movie scene are still evident.
The comment section of this post didn't have many comments; initially, there were only about a dozen replies.
Until a comment from a netizen whose profile picture was a tiny frost symbol--
[Isn't that my wife? OP, you ran into Shen Shuangjian?!]
[Holy crap, it's true! Hahaha! My wife was mistaken for a beautiful woman by a stranger.]
[What's that over there...?]
[Thank... Xie Jinghui?!]
