While eating roast chicken, the two of them ate a lot of rice.Carrots, green beans and shrimps were mixed with egg liquid and fried together. Song Rou specially put in very little oil so that it would not get greasy. Tong Yu really ate half a bowl more.

It's silly to eat and drink enough. After dinner, Tong Yu hugged Miao Miao and lay on the sofa, drowsy by the window.

After finishing cleaning the kitchen, Song Rou asked Tong Yu if he wanted to watch a movie?

Song Rou probably has the habit of watching movies on Christmas Eve.

Tong Yu remembered that on Christmas Eve in the second year of high school, the studio was closed at night, and the old man wanted to entertain guests at home with his wife.Tong Yu and Song Rou had no choice but to stay in the classroom for evening self-study.

In the winter of that year, the outdoor smog exceeded the standard, and the doors and windows in the classroom were closed.I continued to inhale the hot air you exhaled into my lungs, the air was stuffy and turbid, and there were fine and crystal clear drops of water on the window.

After a few self-study classes, the weekend will be closed. At this time, it is generally difficult for students to sit down and study quietly. The classroom is full of low-decibel whispers.

Tong Yu is not a good student, he took out the workbook and scribbled all over, filling in what he knew how to do, and leaving everything blank if he couldn't do it, he dared to hand in as many questions as there were empty ones.

Between the desks of him and Song Rou, there was a pen holder stuck between them, and a kraft paper bag was hung, and Song Rou usually put some tissues and snacks in it.At this moment, Song Rou was resting her chin on her chin after finishing her homework, her eyes were downcast, she was staring into the bag, she kept this posture for a long time.

Tong Yu gradually became suspicious, and stretched his neck to look in——

Song Rou's mobile phone was stuck in the bag, and a movie was playing.

And Song Rou was wearing a pure black coat, and the headphone cable of the same color was hard to notice unless you looked carefully.

Tong Yu was about to speak, but Song Rou pressed her index finger to his lips in time, "Hush."

Then he raised his eyes and smiled, and asked, "Do you want to watch it together? Horror movies, are you afraid?"

It's really outrageous to say that, 16-year-old Tong Yu hasn't seen horror movies yet.This kind of thing is usually not watched by a person behind closed doors, but used to create an atmosphere when a group of friends get together.

Tong Yu has no friends at all.

So he nodded without hesitation.Song Rou gave him an earphone, and he followed suit, covering the ear with the earphone on his chin.

The name of the horror film is Ghost of the Ghost, it is a classic Thai horror film.

The antecedent of the story is that a film team made a horror movie based on a folk horror story. During the filming, the director repeated reshoots in order to pursue the real effect of "Ghost" being hanged, and finally the safety rope broke. The actor who played "Ghost" He was hanged alive.

The film is about the process of eliminating the staff of the movie theater secretly recording the gun version one by one by the "ghosts" turned into by the actors.

Tong Yu finally knew that day that he was actually afraid of ghosts.He will close his eyes in advance when he has a premonition of a high-energy scene, so he has always behaved calmly.He didn't want to lose face in front of Song Rou.

In the final scene, the audience in the theater watched the "Ghost" struggling to hang himself on the big screen, and then the film seemed to enter the end credits.

He breathed a sigh of relief, before he could take off his earphones, the 'ghost' suddenly raised his head again, and asked strangely outside the screen: "Do you really want me to die?"

At that time, the last evening self-study was not over halfway, Tong Yu was so frightened that he collapsed on the spot, and yelled, Song Rou quickly reached out to cover his mouth, took his whole headband with his arm and pressed it on his leg.

Tong Yu's face was flushed from struggling, her mouth was covered, and her face was tightly pressed against Song Rou's thigh/root.

At that time, he thought that he would never watch horror movies again in his life.

That was the first time they watched a movie together on Christmas Eve.

Song Rou likes to watch movies very much, and she will watch them whenever she has time during the holidays.Under the influence of Song Rou, Tong Yu also watched a lot.

When they were in college, it was at the beginning of the blowout of the domestic film market. After that, every Christmas Eve, the two of them would either go to the IMAX theater outside the campus to watch cinema movies, or go to Song Rou’s residence in Beijing to use the projector to show some old movies. Film.

From 2019 to 2025, Song Rou has not been to the theater since Tong Yu left.

After 2019, affected by the epidemic, the global film and television industry has been hit hard, and the number of movies and box office have dropped by more than half.

But that's not the main reason.

He knows that there are still many movies worth watching during those difficult days. Every year, the Oscars are being reviewed, major film festivals are open as usual, Nolan's new work is released, and Marvel has released new movies.He even made a list of them all, kept them in a memo, but never looked at them.

If that person is still around, these movies will only be used to pass the time with him.He left, and Song Rou knew that she would see it sooner or later, it seemed that by reasoning like this, that person would definitely come back.

During the time when he was looking for Tong Yu but found nothing, Song Rou survived by relying on these well-known logical fallacies.

Hypothetical propositions in logic cannot be reversed, but people need fantasy to live in this world.

Tong Yu pulled away from the flood of memories and asked Song Rou what movie she wanted to watch.

Song Rou said, "Let's read the green paper."

On March 2019, 3, Green Book was released in mainland China.When Tong Yu left, the two of them didn't have time to go to the theater to watch Avengers 1, so Green Book was the last movie they watched together in the theater.

The idea of ​​this movie is already commonplace, and it is still a story about people of color fighting against racial discrimination that Yankees are used to filming.

From the beginning of the movie, we aimed at Oscar, so we added some unnecessary attribute buffs to the characters as much as possible.Telling the equal rights of black people from the perspective of white people, the structure of the film is quite satisfactory, and it lacks a distinctive director style.These all lead to the imperfection of Green Book.

But Tong Yu and Song Rou liked it very much after watching it in the cinema, because both of them prefer road movies.The beauty and self-healing along the way are well integrated in this road film, and the 1962 turquoise green Cadillac Devi in ​​the film is also very cool.

The two protagonists toured from north to south, with conflict and warmth coexisting along the way.In the end, they set off for the north before Christmas. They were stopped by the white police in the blizzard. The two were exhausted. They thought it was another trouble about skin color. Unexpectedly, the police just reminded them that the rear tire was flat and wished them well before leaving. Merry Christmas.The black Dr. Shirley also came to the home of the white driver Tony and spent a warm Christmas Eve with his family.

This is a story that is warm enough.It won't make people cry, but it's still full of humanity.

After Song Rou and Tong Yu left the theater, they went to KFC to buy the same family bucket from the movie. At that time, Tong Yu ate fried chicken and said that Green Book was more suitable for New Year and Christmas than True Love Actually. .

What was Song Rou thinking at that time?He seemed to be thinking that he could read the Green Book every year from now on.After graduation, they should have lived together. On Christmas Eve or Christmas, order Tong Yu's favorite fried chicken, and the two of them can sit on the sofa and watch while eating.

As a result, he was in Sapporo on Christmas that year, holding a chocolate biscuit that was destined not to be delivered, standing outside the Shiroi Koibito factory in heavy snow, and went back that night and got drunk alone in the hotel.

So when Song Rou uttered the green paper, he had some secret sense of ritual.

He thought, break the string and continue.

Let it all start again where it left off.
