Chapter 298 Couple
This is the second time I have come to the cinema with Bai Yang.

Zhong Xilu took the initiative to buy two movie tickets, chose a seat closer to the back, and also bought popcorn, which is essential for watching a movie.

They happened to schedule it well, so they didn't have to wait too long before the movie started. They groped their way to their seats in the dark theater - there were unexpectedly many people there, probably because the movie had received really good reviews recently.

"I heard that the director of this movie is a very famous Hollywood director, and he is also Chinese."

Zhong Xilu leaned slightly to the side and whispered, "The name of the movie sounds like a relaxing travel movie."

"It's said to be a fantasy adventure." Bai Yang smiled and said, "Maybe it's also a fantasy movie."

"Like Alice in Wonderland?" Zhong Xilu tilted his head.

"Maybe." Bai Yang said this, put the popcorn in the middle, picked up a piece and handed it to Zhong Xilu.

Zhong Xilu looked at the other person's bony fingers, and suddenly recalled the scene when he watched a movie last time.

That time, I clearly tried very hard to be more intimate with him, but this bad guy just kept playing dumb.

Thinking of this, she took the popcorn from the other person's fingers, and then -

Very naturally, put your little hand in the other person's palm.

The five fingers searched dishonestly, found the gap between the other's fingers, and flexibly drilled in.

Bai Yang turned his head to look at Zhong Xilu. Zhong Xilu did not avoid him, but looked back at him stubbornly with his bright eyes.

So Bai Yang smiled slightly, put his fingers together, and clasped them tightly with the other person.

Neither of them said anything, as if they had a tacit understanding that didn't need to be expressed.

The movie opens.

The beginning is not exciting, it can even be called dull, starting from the boy's childhood, telling about the zoo, family trivia, until the ship sinks and the boy and some animals survive on the lifeboat.

The picture begins to become magnificent, and the cruelty and beauty of the sea, the struggle between humans, animals, and nature are vividly displayed.

"No wonder it's so famous." Zhong Xilu came closer and whispered, "It was filmed very well, but it feels a bit too fantastical, especially the last few scenes, which don't seem like something that would happen in reality."

"Isn't fantasy good?" Bai Yang said with a smile: "At least, the pictures in this movie are still very beautiful."

"Why do you look a little absent-minded?" Zhong Xilu noticed something strange.

When we were desk mates, whenever we watched a movie together, the other person was more serious than I was, especially when discussing the plot, we had to argue about who was better.

But this time, the words always seemed perfunctory.

"There's no way. I can't concentrate while holding hands with such a beautiful girl." Bai Yang exerted a little force with his fingers.

Soft and tender.

“Then I won’t hold you anymore~” Zhong Xilu struggled slightly.

Bai Yang would not let the other party go, and quickly said with a smile: "I'm just watching the movie seriously."

The boy and the tiger finally reached the shore, and the true story was revealed in the final narration. Bai Yang could feel Zhong Xilu's emotions being conveyed very subtly through the small movements of his fingers.

This kind of physical contact seems to be more expressive than verbal communication.

The subtitles slowly appeared, and Zhong Xilu breathed a sigh of relief.

“This ending” she paused: “I don’t know how to describe it.”

Bai Yang smiled and said, "Do you think it's too cruel and too realistic?"

Zhong Xilu tilted her head to look at him: "Don't you think so?"

"How should I put it?" Bai Yang organized his words: "I prefer to believe in beautiful stories. As for thinking about reality, at least I don't want to do it while watching a movie."

“But movies are made to make viewers think.” Zhong Xilu said seriously.

"Maybe I'm more rebellious." Bai Yang didn't care: "It's not necessary to follow the director's arrangement." "That's right." Zhong Xilu dropped the topic and said: "Let's go, it's time to leave."

"Okay." Bai Yang nodded and stood up.

Zhong Xilu didn't move, looking at the two people still holding hands - or rather, the hands that were unilaterally held by the other party.

Then looked at Bai Yang.

The meaning is obvious. We've finished watching the movie, so it's time to let go, right?

"What's wrong? Are your legs numb from sitting for too long?" Bai Yang asked in confusion, not seeming to notice what the other person was thinking.

Zhong Xilu: "It's okay."

Forget it, since I was the one who took the initiative to hold her hand, let him continue if he wants to.

This guy has been greedy and demanding more than once or twice.

So they walked out of the theater hand in hand again. It was much brighter outside. Zhong Xilu felt a little shy for a moment. The two of them holding hands looked like a couple to anyone who could see them.

They haven't confirmed the relationship yet.
There was a hint of resentment in Zhong Xilu's eyes as he looked at Bai Yang.

This guy really takes it for granted! If I don't take the initiative, the other party won't take the initiative at all. If I take the initiative a little bit, the other party will enjoy it with confidence.

But when it comes to the most important things, he doesn't show any.

"What are we going to do next?" Bai Yang asked casually.

"Let's go to your house."

Zhong Xilu said.

"Hmm?" Bai Yang raised his eyebrows.

"I'm hungry." Zhong Xilu added: "I want to eat the food you cook."

"Okay." Bai Yang smiled immediately: "There seems to be a supermarket downstairs, let's go buy some food first. By the way, do you want to call Wu Bo and the others?"

Zhong Xilu rolled his eyes: "Why are you asking me about this?"

"I'm thinking that if Comrade Xiao Zhong wants to live alone with me, then I'll let the children suffer. They don't need a meal anyway." Bai Yang chuckled.

"Call them up." Zhong Xilu sighed, "You can just pat your butt and leave, but I am still the squad leader of the two of them."

"I don't want to be stared at with resentful eyes by them every day at school, as if I have you all to myself."

Bai Yang shuddered: "Don't say such disgusting things. Have you read any BL novels recently?"

"What? I can't read other novels besides the ones you wrote?" Zhong Xilu asked back.

"That's not the case"

Zhong Xilu then said, "I'm not interested in BL. Besides, I'm already a senior in high school. How can I have so much time to read novels?"

Bai Yang took the initiative: "Then you don't read my novel either?"

"Hmm?" Zhong Xilu raised his eyebrows and responded intelligently: "Have you finished your new book?"

"Hehe." Bai Yang was a little pleased with himself, and said, "The first volume has been completed, and the cooperation with the publishing house has almost been negotiated."

"According to the timetable, it should be released in time for the New Year."

"Congratulations." Zhong Xilu said with a smile: "Another masterpiece by a great writer, it will definitely sell well!"

"Then I look forward to your autographed book."
