In the evening, Shi Nian took Feng Sihan to eat the buffet he had always wanted to eat, and then took him upstairs, "Wait for me here, I'll go get the movie tickets."

Shi Nian went away and came back, but Feng Sihan was nowhere to be seen.

"Sihan?"

She looked around and couldn't find him, becoming more and more anxious.

"Nian Nian, I'm here."

Shi Nian followed the sound and turned around. Seeing Feng Sihan coming from the escalator, she quickly trotted towards him.

She looked anxious, her eyes fixed on the two ice cream cones in his hands, and the words that were about to come out of her throat stopped abruptly.

"I went to buy you some ice cream. I wanted to give you a surprise when you came back, but when I went downstairs, there was a queue at the store. I waited for a while, so I came back late."

Shi Nian met his serious black eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart.

She asked curiously, "Don't you dislike eating this kind of food? Why did you buy two ice creams?"

"I didn't know which flavor you liked, so I bought them all."

Feng Sihan paused and said, "If you don't want to eat two, I'll eat the one you left."

“I eat strawberries.”

Shi Nian took one of them and pulled him to sit on the sofa chair in the waiting area.

Shi Nian quickly finished the ice cream cone and turned his head to check Feng Sihan's progress.

Feng Sihan's hands were empty, apparently he had finished eating.

She checked the time on her phone and was about to ask him if he wanted to enter now when the man in her peripheral vision suddenly reached out his hand towards her cheek.

Shi Nian's heart stopped for a moment, and she felt the corner of her lips being touched by his rough fingertips.

Everything happened in an instant. When Shi Nian came to his senses, Feng Sihan had already pulled his hand away.

Her cheeks slowly turned red, and she quickly picked up her phone and looked at the corner of her lips on the screen, "Did I eat it in my mouth?"

"There was a little bit just now, I have wiped it off for you."

Shi Nian's cheeks flushed and embarrassment flashed in her eyes.

She quickly stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom to wash my face. You should also... wash your hands."

The two checked their tickets, entered the cinema and sat in the back row.

The movie had some horror elements, and Shi Nian kept covering her eyes with her hands halfway through watching it.

The atmosphere of terror was rising and the cinema was silent. The next second, a close-up shot suddenly appeared on the screen.

Screams were heard everywhere, and Shi Nian also screamed with his eyes closed.

She felt something moving on her shoulder and almost jumped up.

"Nian Nian, if you are afraid, just hold my hand."

Shi Nian heard Feng Sihan's low voice in the darkness and opened her eyes in shock. Only then did she realize that most of her body was curled up in his arms, and the hand that had just moved on her shoulder was his hand that had nowhere to put.

Her cheeks turned red for a moment, and her heart, which had been beating wildly, beat even faster.

The seats in the theater could only accommodate one person comfortably, and in order to consider her, Feng Sihan had been pushed to the edge.

Shi Nian ignored the horrifying sound coming from his ears and hurriedly sat back in his original position.

She coughed lightly and whispered, "It's okay, it's all fake, I... I'm not afraid."

She left Feng Sihan's arms and stared at the screen for two minutes, feeling a chill on her back.

The cheerful sound suddenly turned dull. Shi Nian's heart skipped a beat. He quickly squinted his eyes and curled up in his seat.

Feng Sihan didn't find the movie scenes scary, but was attracted by Shi Nian's little movements.

A smile flashed in his eyes. Didn’t she say she wasn’t afraid?

He reached out his hand, covered her slightly cool hand, and gently pinched the flesh of her palm.

Shi Nian's attention was diverted, and the fear in her heart dissipated a little. Her palms were warmed by him, and her tense nerves relaxed. She moved her fingers and grasped his palms.

Feng Sihan dodged for a moment, and Shi Nian couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and his fingers scratched in his palm.

Feng Sihan wrapped her hands around him, his deep voice mixed with helplessness and doting, "Nian Nian, stop making trouble."

Shi Nian chuckled softly and looked at the screen without any precautions. She was startled by the blood-stained face that almost occupied the entire screen and screamed in surprise.

She quickly covered her eyes and glanced at Feng Sihan in panic, but found that his expression was normal and he didn't react at all.

Shi Nian's wildly beating heart gradually calmed down, and she silently told herself that the horrific scenes in the movie were all fake.

She didn't want to be looked down upon by Feng Sihan.

Shi Nian tried not to scream and watched the second half of the movie with her eyes half closed.

She came out of the cinema holding Feng Sihan's hand. Surrounded by the bright light, she finally caught her breath after holding it for almost two hours.

On the way home, she couldn't help but complain, "Didn't that movie market itself as the tear-jerking love masterpiece of the year? How come it's scarier than a horror movie?"

Feng Sihan said seriously, "Actually, the plot line is quite touching."

A flash of embarrassment flashed through Shi Nian's eyes. She was so busy playing with him while blocking the scary scene that she completely forgot about the plot.

When she got home, she was reluctant to part with Feng Sihan when she thought that she might not see him for several days in the future, so she followed him around the living room.

Feng Sihan went to the restaurant to get some water, and when he turned around he almost bumped into Shi Nian who was following closely behind him.

He raised the glass in his hand and saw that she was distracted, thinking that she was frightened by the plot of the movie she watched that night.

He pondered for a moment, "Nian Nian, how about I sleep in the living room tonight and you leave the bedroom door open?"

Shi Nian was confused and asked, only to find out that he had misunderstood her.

She shook her head, with distress in her eyes, "What if you lie down in the grass nest again when you are on a mission and can't sleep well? You should take advantage of being at home tonight and have a good rest in the bedroom."

She followed Feng Sihan to the bedroom door, "Sihan, what time are you leaving tomorrow morning?"

When Feng Sihan saw the reluctance in Shi Nian's eyes, the softness in his heart was touched.

In the past, he came and went like the wind, without any worries. After getting married, he gradually became reluctant to leave home, and even more reluctant to leave her.

"I'm leaving very early tomorrow morning, so don't see me off."

Feng Sihan paused and said, "If you send me off, I will miss you."

Shi Nian felt a sour emotion in her heart and threw herself into his arms. "You were so anxious to video chat with me when you arrived in Country M. You must eat well, chew slowly, be safe, and... remember to think of me."

"I will."

Shi Nian stood on tiptoe and gave Feng Sihan a quick kiss on the cheek before pushing the door open and returning to the bedroom.

At night, she did not sleep well. She tossed and turned, and repeatedly dreamed that Feng Sihan was in trouble and fell in a pool of blood.

She was awakened by a nightmare and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

Shi Nian sat on the bed to calm down, repeating to herself several times in her heart that dreams and reality are opposites, and Feng Sihan will definitely come back safely.

She exhaled, her thoughts mixed together, and she began to think wildly again. She shouldn't have dragged Feng Sihan to see a movie with bloody elements before he went out. It was so unlucky.

Shi Nian slapped her cheek and said to herself, "Movies are movies, reality is reality. Shi Nian, why are you so superstitious now?"

It was still dark outside the window and she was no longer sleepy when she suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the living room.

Shi Nian realized that the person who made the noise might be Feng Sihan, so she quickly threw back the quilt and got out of bed.
