“It’s cold here. You’ll feel it soon.”


  Yan Qingsi raised her head. “You’re not cold?” she asked.

  “I’m cold. So you have to hug me later,” Yue Tingfeng answered certainly.

  ‘All right!’ Yan Qingsi thought.

  The lights in the hall dimmed. The screen lit up. Yan Qingsi could not help but laugh when she saw what was being projected on the screen.

  She did not know what Yue Tingfeng bought, and…… It was not a foreign sci-fi flick, it was not literature, not art nor romance, but it was an animated movie. An animated movie for children.

  No wonder the scatter of people before them were all parents with their children.

  Yan Qingsi wanted to laugh, but she did not want to disturb others. She clutched onto her stomach, laughing till tears leaked from eyes and her shoulders shook.

  Yue Tingfeng wrapped his arms around her, nipping her ear with his teeth. “Give it a chance. I’ve carefully chosen this. It suits you.”


  Yan Qingsi pinched Yue Tingfeng. “It suits you!”


  Yue Tingfeng pecked her cheek with lightning speed. “That’s right. I like it. So I want you to like it too.”


  They did not need to see other people’s hate and love. Yue Tingfeng just wanted to seize this brief moment, this rare break in their routine to experience how lovers should pass the time.

  For instance, dates, having meals together, going to the cinema……

  Animated movies for children were childish, but they preached goodness and kindness. Yan Qingsi thought that it was funny in the beginning. Later, she leaned against Yue Tingfeng’s shoulder, eating the popcorn he fed her, and she watched till the end.

  Throughout the process, the two had not spoken at all. They did not look at each other either, but Yue Tingfeng was always able to feed the popcorn into Yan Qingsi’s mouth with uncanny precision.

  When the movie was about to end, Yan Qingsi whipped out her phone and took two pictures: the first was of the movie screen, the second was of hers and Yue Tingfeng’s interlaced fingers. Yan Qingsi posted them on Weibo along with the caption: Is it a date?

  [It’s fate! Oh my goddess, please don’t torture the pup too much!]

  [Milady, why can’t you be kind to animals? A dog is man’s best friend!]

  [Oh wow, my goddess watched a cartoon. She’s my goddess, all right. Her taste is so unique! I need to see this.]

  [As a single person, I’m on the way to the cinema now. I want to buy all the tickets for this movie.]

  Yan Qingsi found her fans adorable. She switched off her phone and shoved it into the pocket of Yue Tingfeng’s jacket.

  “The picture wasn’t nice,” he whispered in her ear. “Let me take it next time. If you don’t take a picture of my face, you could at least make my hand look nice.”


  Yan Qingsi rolled her eyes. “It’s not my fault if your hands look ugly.”


  “My hands are ugly? My hands are ugly? I have long and strong fingers. Otherwise, how could I hold……” Yue Tingfeng darted a glance at Yan Qingsi.

  Yan Qingsi smirked. “I haven’t called you a b*stard in a long time, have I?” she said coolly.

  Yue Tingfeng nodded his head. “Yep…… So call me a b*stard, since I want to be one for a while.”


  “You……”


  Yan Qingsi wanted to call Yue Tingfeng a shameless attention wh*re, then she realized that a child was peering at them from the row of seats before them. Who knew whose child had run all the way here?

  Yue Tingfeng and Yan Qingsi looked at each other. He covertly snuck a look at the popcorn bucket and saw that there were some left. He reached an arm out.

  The little rascal took the popcorn and ran off.
