Chapter 100
With movie tickets in hand, Tong Yao ran into their viewing room dragging Lu Sicheng behind her. Lu Sicheng, now plopped down into a seat, didn’t resist the entire way– –It was very likely that he was in a daze by Tong Yao’s sudden action……Maybe happiness had come so unexpectedly to Lu Sichen that even he didn’t fully grasp what had happened.
The lights went dark in the viewing room and no one could make out anyone’s face.
Now only lit by the movie screen, Tong Yao noticed from the corner of her eye that Lu Sicheng had taken off his face mask. He thought for a while, then turned his head towards Tong Yao and asked without much expression on his face: “What did it mean just now?”
“I saw our team’s fans again.”
“Hrm?”
“So I risked the danger of being found out and did that.”
“Why?”
“I’m using my own action to prove to you that I don’t think you’re an eyesore at all. You’re very good and quite handsome.” In the darkness, Tong Yao counted with her fingers. She also found that now that no one could see her face, she had become rather cheeky. “And, besides, I’m not a wimp. Occasionally, I also have a great romantic, adventurous spirit.”
“……” Lu Sicheng didn’t say whether he was satisfied with Tong Yao’s answer or not. After being silent for a while, he responded: “Very well.”
Tong Yao thought it was fine as long as he felt ‘very well,’ as long as he stopped asking any more questions.– –The real reason she had done it was because she had suddenly realized how handsome he was with the mask on and had gotten carried away to the point that she gave him a peck on his lips!
Then the movie started. Lu Sicheng watched with his full attention for a while. But then he leaned more and more towards Tong Yao, until finally he was resting his head on Tong Yao’s shoulder– –Tong Yao thought that something wasn’t quite right. Shouldn’t it be the other way around. She looked down and saw Lu Sicheng’s eyes were already closed. She moved her shoulder up and down and Lu Sicheng slowly opened his eyes. Tong Yao asked: “When did you go to bed last night?”
Lu Sicheng thought about it and answered: “4 in the morning.”
Tong Yao: “You got up again to go down and play ranked?”
Lu Sicheng yawned while saying: “Little Fatty begged me to take him out of Diamond 2 hell.”
“So you played with your support the entire night, then openly doze off while you’re on a date with me. You’re really something, my captain.” Tong Yao shook her shoulder again: “Get up, don’t lean on me.”
“You’ve already kissed me, but you won’t let me lean on your shoulder?”
“……………………………………………………….What if I kissed you?”
“……Nothing.” When the light from the movie got a little brighter, the head on Tong Yao’s shoulder moved a bit and Lu Sicheng lifted his head a little. He fixed his dark brown eyes on Tong Yao from below: “That kiss went by too quickly, I didn’t have the chance to react to it. Do it again?”
His eyes brightened even in the dark theatre.
The answer from Tong Yao was to lift the hood of his sweater up to cover his face.
Tong Yao didn’t recall what the movie was about afterwards. She only remembered that Lu Sicheng had looked at her for quite a while in the darkness. Then as if he had given up the idea, he put his head back squarely on her shoulder and fell asleep……
……
Lu Sicheng woke up right before the movie ended.
He didn’t say anything after he woke up. He just opened his eyes and quietly looked at Tong Yao through the edge of the hood……At the time, the movie screen was showing the female lead hugging the big fish floating in the air. The lighting turned brighter and Tong Yao looked down and met Lu Sicheng’s eyes.
Lu Sicheng: “……”
Tong Yao: “……”
They looked at each other for three seconds.
Tong Yao suddenly lifted the hood on Lu Sicheng and bent over to kiss his thin lips– –When the background music of the movie began playing, Tong Yao could feel Lu Sicheng move a bit to sit up and the tip of his tongue swept over her lips to lightly peck on them. When Lu Sicheng was about to deepen the kiss, Tong Yao straightened up.
Lu Sicheng: “……Gee.”
Tong Yao: “……………………….What gee?”
Lu Sicheng: “To express my disappointment.”
Tong Yao twitched her mouth and pushed the head off her now numb shoulder.
