Li Jianguo arrived outside the movie theater with a few thugs. One of them said, "Jianguo, what are you doing here? Are you going to treat us to a movie?"

Li Jianguo patted his pockets. There were six of them in total. Each movie ticket cost one yuan, so six tickets would cost six yuan.

"I just treated you to dinner at the state-run restaurant, so who's going to treat me to a movie?"

They were all spoiled brats who always took turns treating everyone.

Another person said, "What's so interesting about movies? They're not interesting at all. Couples only go to the movies on dates, but we grown men don't go on dates."

"Haha, yeah, Jianguo, you don't actually like dating grown men, do you?"

Hahahaha.

Li Jianguo couldn't persuade them, and he didn't want to be ripped off, so he and his friends squatted at the entrance of the movie theater chatting.

After Xue Yanchen and Luo Jingyan entered, they saw that most of the people sitting inside were young couples who came to watch the movie together, with a few workers, teachers and cadres as well.

Xue Yanchen told Luo Jingyan to sit down first. He went outside and bought her some roasted peanuts, roasted melon seeds, and popcorn. He carried the whole pile back to the screening room.

Luo Jingyan took the things from his arms. "You bought so much." He really is just like those modern men who buy snacks for their girlfriends.

The movie started soon, and Luo Jingyan ate sunflower seeds while staring at the screen.

Although the film being shown was an old revolutionary movie, for someone like her who had watched too many modern soap operas, the plot of the old movie was more realistic, full, and meaningful, and she was completely engrossed in watching it.

A moment later, a hand reached out to her from the side, filled with peeled sunflower seeds. Without even looking, she naturally reached out, picked up a seed, and put it in her mouth.

Xue Yanchen looked at her with eyes full of doting affection as he watched her eat sunflower seeds.

It wasn't until Luo Jingyan had almost finished eating the sunflower seeds that she realized someone else had shelled them for her.

She turned to look at Xue Yanchen, who then extended his other hand, offering it to her with peeled peanuts inside: "Want some?"

Luo Jingyan smiled and pinched a few pieces, saying, "Eat some yourself too."

I want to watch you eat.

He realized for the first time that peeling peanuts and sunflower seeds for others was more enjoyable than eating them himself. Watching her eat the sunflower seeds he had peeled gave him an immense sense of satisfaction.

Luo Jingyan wanted to feed him, but considering that there were people around, fortunately, everyone else was either focused on watching the movie or chatting in pairs, and no one noticed them.

So, she picked up a peanut, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then held the peanut to Xue Yanchen's lips: "Eat it."

The first thing Xue Yanchen touched wasn't the peanuts, but her soft, delicate little hands. The feeling of her fingers against his lips was wonderful and comfortable, making him forget to react for a moment.

Luo Jingyan urged him, "Hurry up and eat."

"oh."

Perhaps he bit too fast, because he swallowed her finger as well. Luo Jingyan quickly withdrew her hand and stared at her finger for a while.

The strange sensation when her fingers touched his lips and were swallowed by him made her blush and her heart race.

Seeing her lost in thought, Xue Yanchen asked, "What's wrong?"

"You've been harassing my finger."

"Hahaha." He couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Then I have to take responsibility for her." He pointed to his lips. "Your fingers were also being lewd with my lips, so you have to take responsibility for me too."

He stared at her soft, pink lips for a while, as if that was where he had just touched them.

Luo Jingyan winked at him: "We'll take responsibility for each other."

"Yes, ma'am!" He smiled meaningfully.

Halfway through the movie, Xue Yanchen went out again. Luo Jingyan thought he had gone to the restroom. When he came back, he sat down and continued to peel melon seeds and peanuts for her.

The movie was almost over, and Xue Yanchen had been serving her the whole time. Luo Jingyan had no idea how much he had watched.

Because she had eaten too much dry food, Luo Jingyan was thirsty, but there was no water nearby.

The soft drinks sold outside can't be heated, so they're very cold. Drinking them in the dead of winter would definitely give me diarrhea, so I'll wait a bit longer.

Whether he heard her thoughts or not, he reached into his cotton-padded coat and, as if by magic, pulled out a bottle of soda, which he held in his hand.

"It's warm now, you should be able to drink it."

Luo Jingyan's eyes widened in surprise. There was such a way to heat soda! He actually used his own body heat to warm the ice-cold soda.

Xue Yanchen used his teeth to bite off the cap of the soda bottle and held the soda to Luo Jingyan's lips: "You must be thirsty after eating so many melon seeds and peanuts, drink up."

Luo Jingyan was touched and really wanted to give him a kiss, but there were too many people around.

She took the soda bottle and found that it was warm, enough to warm her hands, unaware of how much of his body heat it had absorbed.

She held the bottle tightly in her hand and asked him, "How are you? Don't catch a cold."

"I'm very energetic, I'm perfectly fine, you should drink up."

He held the bottle by the bottom and pushed it up. She then raised the bottle to her lips, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and handed it to Xue Yanchen: "You should have some too."

The man's gaze fell directly on the bottle opening, and Luo Jingyan immediately understood his meaning. He was using the bottle she had drunk from, which was equivalent to them kissing indirectly. It was very likely that there was still her saliva left in the remaining soda in the bottle. If he drank the soda, he would also drink her saliva.

"If you don't like it, then forget it."

“I’ll drink.” He took the bottle. “I’m asking for your permission.” Then he whispered, “I need your permission to kiss you indirectly as well.”

Luo Jingyan was already used to this, so she didn't blush. She pointed to the bottle opening with a mischievous smile and said, "Go ahead and kiss it."

The man looked at her with a hint of reproach, staring at her red lips as he drank the soda from the bottle. His prominent Adam's apple bobbed sensually with the action of drinking, making Luo Jingyan unable to look away.

After leaving the screening room, many people needed to use the restroom. Luo Jingyan and Xue Yanchen were both in line. Luo Jingyan went in first, and when she came out, Xue Yanchen was still in line.

Luo Jingyan said, "There are too many people here, I'll wait for you outside."

"good."

Luo Jingyan went outside the movie theater to wait for Xue Yanchen. Suddenly, a smell of smoke wafted over. She turned her head and saw Li Jianguo.

Li Jianguo, with a malicious grin, walked up to her and said, "Comrade, hello."

Luo Jingyan ignored him and turned her face away.

"I don't want to talk to you, please stay away from me."

Li Jianguo wasn't angry. The woman was so cold and distant towards him because she didn't know his identity. If he told her about his family background, she might even be eager to get to know him.

"Comrade, hello, my name is Li Jianguo."
