After dinner, they walked out of the restaurant together, feeling the night breeze. Zhang Benyuan took Wang Yitong to the cinema, where he bought two tickets for the last row of "The Whispering Wind." The two walked into the theater side by side and found their seats.

She and Zhang Benyuan sat down and waited quietly for the movie to begin.

As the film began, Wang Yitong was quickly drawn in by the thrilling plot. Set in a wartime era, "The Whistleblower" is filled with suspense and danger. As the plot progressed, her emotions fluctuated with the characters' fates.

Wang Yitong watched the movie intently, occasionally sharing her thoughts on the plot with Zhang Benyuan. The two chatted quietly.

At the climax of the movie, Wang Yitong was attracted by the tense plot and couldn't help feeling a little scared. She couldn't help but hold Zhang Benyuan's hand tightly, as if she could get a little comfort from him. Zhang Benyuan felt her nervousness, he patted her hand gently, gave her a warm smile, and told her not to be afraid. Wang Yitong was a little embarrassed and tried to pull her hand back, but Zhang Benyuan held her hand tightly and didn't want to let go. In the dark theater, Wang Yitong felt Zhang Benyuan's company, and a warm feeling gradually rose in her heart.

After the movie ended, the lights came on, and Zhang Benyuan walked out of the theater holding Wang Yitong's hand. Their steps were slow and light, as if they were still immersed in the emotions of the movie.

"This movie is really wonderful," said Wang Yitong.

"Yes, especially the last part, it makes people extremely nervous." Zhang Benyuan responded.

As they walked and talked, they recalled the plot and characters in the movie. Before they knew it, the conversation extended from the movie to various interesting things and experiences in life.

The two walked to the parking lot, Zhang Benyuan opened the passenger door, and attentively helped Wang Yitong fasten her seat belt. He sat in the car, looked at her seriously, and held her hand.

"Yitong, it's really fun to watch a movie with you today. I hope there will be more opportunities like this in the future." There was sincere emotion in his voice.

Zhang Benyuan hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Actually, I've always wanted to tell you that I have more feelings for you. I enjoy spending time with you, and I hope we can be more than just friends."

Wang Yitong's face flushed slightly, and she looked at Zhang Benyuan in surprise. A mixture of joy and uneasiness welled up in her heart.

"Brother Yuan, I have had a relationship before. I am just an ordinary person. There is a huge gap between you and me. I..." Wang Yitong said shyly.

Before Wang Yitong could finish, Zhang Benyuan interrupted her: "Yitong, I know what you mean. You are very good, and the gap between us is not a problem. We can get along slowly and let our relationship develop naturally." After that, he gently kissed Wang Yitong's lips.

Wang Yitong was a little surprised by the sudden kiss, but she did not resist. She felt Zhang Benyuan's tenderness and sincerity, and the uneasiness in her heart was gradually replaced by joy.

Zhang Benyuan's kiss was light and gentle, as if telling Wang Yitong his feelings. Wang Yitong closed her eyes, enjoying the sweetness of the moment.

After a while, the two slowly separated, with a hint of shyness and happiness in Wang Yitong's eyes.

"Brother Yuan, I...I have feelings for you too." Her voice trembled a little.

Zhang Benyuan looked at her with a smile, "Then let's try to go on together, okay?"

Wang Yitong nodded, "Okay."

From that moment on, their relationship took a new turn.

Zhang Benyuan started the car, and the two left the parking lot. He drove Wang Yitong back to her residence. On the way, Zhang Benyuan said as he drove, "Can I call you Tongtong? Tongtong, can you tell me about your previous relationship? How did you break up? That way I'll know how to avoid making the same mistake and making you unhappy."

Wang Yitong blushed, feeling sweet inside as Zhang Benyuan called her Tongtong. She softly said, "My previous boyfriend was a top student. He was recommended for admission to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China for graduate studies. It was my bad temper and personality, coupled with my low academic qualifications, that made me not work hard enough to save the relationship. I felt like I wasn't good enough."

Zhang Benyuan listened quietly, then said, "Hearing you say that, he is indeed an excellent boy. But the fact that you two can be together also shows that you have many qualities that attract him. Don't underestimate yourself too much. Your kindness, vitality, and gentleness are all your shining points, and that's what attracts me to you."

Wang Yitong raised her head slightly and looked at Zhang Benyuan, a touch of emotion flashing in her eyes. "Thank you, Brother Yuan. Sometimes I feel so insecure and feel that I'm not good enough."

Zhang Benyuan shook Wang Yitong's hand and said gently, "Don't think like that. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. No one is perfect. Besides, I think you are great. You have your own unique charm."

Wang Yitong smiled, and seemed to feel a little relieved. "Well, I will try my best to adjust my mentality."

As the car continued to move forward, the two of them exchanged ideas, allowing each other to get to know each other better. Zhang Benyuan realized that Wang Yitong might need some time to build up her confidence, and that now was the perfect time for him to pursue her, as Yitong needed care at that moment.

Soon, the car arrived downstairs of Wang Yitong's residence. Zhang Benyuan parked the car and got out with Wang Yitong.

"Can I take you back to the bedroom?" Zhang Benyuan looked at her with tenderness in his eyes.

Wang Yitong nodded shyly.

Zhang Benyuan held Wang Yitong's hand and walked to the third floor. Wang Yitong opened the door and heard the sound of her roommates discussing a TV series. Wang Yitong knew that Wu Jing's boyfriend would also be there tonight.
