"What's wrong, Gu Fan? Do you know that beautiful woman from earlier?"

Li Qiuxiang looked at Gu Fan with a teasing expression and asked.

Gu Fan said helplessly, "I just helped her out. She's just a classmate."

"Really?" Li Qiuxiang tilted her head, somewhat puzzled. "But I think I saw her before. She came to the shop and specifically asked for you."

Gu Fan didn't bother to elaborate on this: "You're back so soon? Have you finished your business?"

Li Qiuxiang pouted: "It wasn't anything serious to begin with. I was just trying to avoid Tang Yan."

"Why? Do you hate him that much?" Gu Fan asked, puzzled.

“Oh dear, you don’t understand!” Li Qiuxiang frowned. “Tang Yan is too arrogant. He’s always bothering me. It’s so annoying. I’d rather stay in the shop and help out than go out with him.”

Gu Fan smiled and said, "Okay, but he only does this because he likes you, right?"

"Hmph, who cares if he likes me?" Li Qiuxiang said angrily. "I just like a free and unrestrained life and don't want to be tied down by emotions."

Gu Fan nodded in understanding. He knew that Li Qiuxiang was an independent girl who didn't like to rely on others.

"Alright, I'm really leaving this time. You stay here, junior Gu Fan." Li Qiuxiang smiled and waved to him.

Gu Fan nodded: "Okay, boss."

Li Qiuxiang left, but Gu Fan remained in the shop. He sent a message to Jiang Yumeng.

The latter said that class was in session at that time.

Having classes on the weekend, typical freshman year.

At lunchtime, Gu Fan went to the porridge shop that Li Qiuxiang had taken him to last time.

"Handsome, it's you? Didn't Xiao Li come?" The proprietress recognized Gu Fan and greeted him with a smile.

Gu Fan smiled and said, "She had something to do and didn't come."

Gu Fan ordered a bowl of lean meat porridge and found an empty seat to sit down.

He ate his porridge while thinking about things.

"Ring ring..."

Gu Fan's phone rang; it was Jiang Yumeng calling.

"Hey, senior, are you free tonight?" Jiang Yumeng's sweet voice came through the phone.

"Yes, I do. I get off work at eight o'clock," Gu Fan replied.

"Let's go see a movie together. There's a really good movie that just came out," Jiang Yumeng suggested.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the flower shop entrance." Gu Fan thought for a moment and then agreed.

After finishing his porridge, Gu Fan returned to school, lay down on his bed, and fell asleep almost immediately.

That evening, after locking the door after get off work, Gu Fan saw Jiang Yumeng walking over.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior," Jiang Yumeng said playfully.

"It's not hard work, it's just minding the shop. Let's go."

Gu Fan smiled.

They hailed a car and arrived at the movie theater.

Jiang Yumeng booked the tickets; they were watching a movie about peacekeeping operations.

During the viewing experience, the audience was immersed in a world of interwoven light and shadow, as if they were in a series of captivating stories.

Their emotions rise and fall with the plot, experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, separation, and reunion alongside the protagonist.

Gu Fan resonated with this type of film. This glamorous world is not without cruel wars; it's just that some people are carrying the burden in the shadows.

Several touching scenes moved Jiang Yumeng to tears, and Gu Fan had no choice but to take out a tissue to wipe her tears.

Well, this girl is definitely captivated by the movie.

Jiang Yumeng didn't expect this outcome. She had originally wanted to get to know her senior better, but the atmosphere was ruined.

The little girl's sniffling was so cute that it made you instinctively want to protect her.

After wiping away her tears, Gu Fan reached out and took her small hand in his.

Because the girl is petite and has small hands, holding it in your hand can completely envelop her hand; it's very soft and feels great.

A blush crept across Jiang Yumeng's face, but then she felt a surge of happiness and gently rested her head on Gu Fan's shoulder.

Neither of them spoke; they watched the movie in silence.

The audience didn't leave until the movie ended and the lights came on.

Gu Fan looked at the girl and asked, "Was the movie good?"

Jiang Yumeng nodded.

"Then, shall we go back?" Gu Fan didn't know what to say at this point.

"Hmm..." Jiang Yumeng hesitated and glanced around. There was almost no one left in the room.

Her gaze fell on the two hands that were now clasped together, her eyes filled with shyness.

When the two left the movie theater, Gu Fan still held her hand and didn't let go, as if there was some kind of tacit understanding between them.

Passersby turned their heads and cast admiring glances at the newlyweds.

"The movie tonight was great, and thank you for treating me to a movie," Gu Fan said, breaking the silence.

Jiang Yumeng smiled shyly and said, "It's nothing. I... it's my first time going to the movies with a boy. It feels pretty good."

Gu Fan was somewhat surprised, but his heart was still warmed.

"Then I'll take you back to school."

"Huh?" Jiang Yumeng was taken aback. "Are we just going back like this?"

Gu Fan asked, somewhat puzzled, "It's 10:30 at night. Jiang, where would you like to go?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yumeng's face fell: "That's true, you have to go to work tomorrow, senior."

Thinking about how her senior had to work part-time at the flower shop every week, Jiang Yumeng felt a pang of sympathy. This feeling grew stronger and stronger, and she suddenly blurted out, "Senior, can't you stop working part-time?"

Gu Fan looked at her in surprise, then said with a hint of joking, "If I don't work part-time, will you support me?"

To his surprise, Jiang Yumeng nodded very seriously after hearing his words: "Yeah! I'll take care of you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she froze, realizing what she had said, and her face immediately turned red.

Ahhh! What did I say?

This...this is way too ambiguous!

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Gu Fan didn't know how to respond either, so he just gave an awkward smile.

The girl smiled too.

The two of them looked like idiots.

Yes, isn't that how it is when people fall in love?

"Um, senior, you're still holding my hand," Jiang Yumeng suddenly said weakly.

Gu Fan also realized that he hadn't let go of the girl's hand since they came out of the movie.

He cleared his throat and asked without batting an eye, "Um, are you cold?"

Just kidding, it's October now, the weather is as hot as an oven!

So Jiang Yumeng replied from the bottom of her heart, "Hmm...it seems a little cold."

Gu Fan said in a serious tone, "In that case, I won't let go. I'll warm your hands."

Jiang Yumeng nodded repeatedly: "Mmm! I think it seems fine."

The two looked at each other for a moment, then simultaneously looked away. For a moment, the air was filled with the sweet and sour smell of love.
