At this point, the people watching the movie around them gradually got up and left the screening room.

Mu Xiaocheng also stood up, straightened her clothes, and ruffled her hair, saying, "Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep."

Her voice was soft and sweet, and her attitude in admitting her mistake was very good; her tone even carried a hint of guilt.

Ji Huaishen stood up, bent slightly, and used his long, slender fingers to smooth her bangs.

His finger accidentally touched her forehead, causing a slight tremor. Mu Xiaocheng subconsciously shrank her head.

"It's okay, it's not good-looking anyway."

He spoke lazily, his tone indifferent.

Mu Xiaocheng, holding the half-finished cola, walked out side by side with him: "Is it really that bad? The online reviews are quite good!"

Ji Huaishen did not answer, but moved closer to her and once again took her hand very consciously.

He didn't watch the movie, so whether it was good or not is none of his business.

Suddenly pulled by his hand again, Mu Xiaocheng frowned unhappily and looked at him coldly.

He smiled calmly, his tone still pitiful and aggrieved: "My hand hurts. Holding your hand makes me feel better."

What kind of bullshit reason is that?

Even if you're injured, you can't act like a scoundrel like this, okay?

Mu Xiaocheng didn't want to go along with him this time, after all, this man's skin was really too thick.

No, this is absolutely shameless and despicable!

Just as she was about to pull her hand away from his, she saw a couple walk by.

The woman, linking arms with the man, pouted and said, "Look how great that pretty girl's boyfriend is, so handsome and considerate."

"I just saw that girl fall asleep, and her boyfriend didn't wake her. He even kept supporting her with his hand. He just kept staring at her the whole time. You should learn from him."

The girl's tone was envious; naturally, she was referring to Mu Xiaocheng and Ji Huaishen.

Her boyfriend glanced back at the two of them, then snorted, "That's because she's pretty. If you were as pretty as that girl, I..."

"Ouch, ouch, honey, be gentle..."

As the two walked away, Mu Xiaocheng's mind was still filled with the girl's words.

While she was sleeping, Ji Huaishen always used his hand to support her head.

And he kept staring at her.

She lowered her head and took a sip of her cola.

I felt my hands being enveloped by him, and waves of warmth seeped into my heart.

She said softly, "This won't happen again."

Ji Huaishen's lips curled up, and a smile appeared in his deep, dark eyes, dazzling and captivating.

—

It was still early when we came out of the movie, and it wasn't dinner time yet.

Mu Xiaocheng remembered that she had an appointment with Xia Qianyu and needed to meet with her.

So I gave her a call.

Today is Friday, and Xia Qianyu is at school, Yundu University.

Yundu University is a comprehensive university and also Mu Xiaocheng's alma mater.

Xia Qianyu is Mu Xiaocheng's senior in the same department; both of them are majoring in painting and fine arts.

Xia Qianyu has excellent achievements; she is a well-known female academic star and excels in almost every subject.

But when it came time to choose a career, he surprisingly chose to stay at the university as a teacher!

Everyone else was puzzled by Xia Qianyu's behavior, but Mu Xiaocheng understood.

Because of her brother, Meng Xunqian.

He is a specially appointed professor at the Medical School of Yundu University.

Although I don't teach medical students every day, I am at least a teacher at that school.

Ji Huaishen went with Mu Xiaocheng.

As soon as the two entered the school gate, they saw Xia Qianyu and Meng Xunqian walking towards them.

With just one glance, Meng Xunqian saw Mu Xiaocheng.

And, her hands clasped tightly with Ji Huaishen's.
