Shang Ziming's gaze couldn't help but shift to her fingers, savoring the taste from before. Smooth, delicate, and savory, the five-spice melon seeds were indeed delicious.
Shang Ziming placed the peanuts he was holding on her lap, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and began to peel them.
He peeled one and held it to her lips, saying, "I'll peel it for you to eat, here."
Shang Ziming watched her with great interest and anticipation, waiting for her to open her mouth.
Su Xiao wanted to refuse, but looking into his eyes, she knew he wouldn't be easy to get rid of.
She helplessly held out her palm, "Put it in your hand."
Shang Ziming lowered his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes concealing the regret in them.
I put the sunflower seeds into her palm.
Su Xiao popped the snack into her mouth and said impatiently, "It's ready. The movie is about to start, so put the snack away."
As she spoke, she deftly tied up the two bags of peanuts and melon seeds and tossed them into her crossbody bag.
Then, clap your hands, dust off your clothes, sit down, and wait for the movie to start.
Shang Ziming silently watched her series of actions, and sighed almost imperceptibly. This little girl is not easy to win over.
At this point, the movie officially began.
Su Xiao sat upright, her eyes fixed on the big screen. Today's movie was "The Red Guards of Honghu Lake," an old film from the 1970s that Su Xiao had never seen before. She was immediately drawn in by the storyline.
Su Xiao watched intently, and when she saw the protagonist in danger, her heart jumped into her throat, and her fingers clenched tightly.
Suddenly, she froze for a moment before relaxing, and her senses returned to the movie.
Shang Ziming leaned back comfortably in his chair, one hand resting on the back of her chair, the other holding her small hand, occasionally stealing a caress. Their index fingers were interlocked, and he felt her small hand gradually soften from its initial stiffness. His starry eyes shone with a smug look.
Su Xiao is a sentimental person. When she sees someone die, she can't help but shed tears. She cried several times during the movie.
Shang Ziming didn't watch the movie at all; he was too busy watching her. When he saw her crying, he was at a loss and wanted to wipe her tears, but then realized he didn't have a handkerchief.
Fortunately, Su Xiao managed to pull one out of her bag. With tears and snot mixed together, Su Xiao was annoyed that it wasn't as convenient as a tissue.
Shang Ziming was equally annoyed, realizing he hadn't prepared enough; he hadn't brought water or a handkerchief.
I secretly vowed to improve next time.
After watching a movie, my handkerchief was completely unusable, and I really wanted to throw it away.
After leaving the movie theater, Shang Ziming led Su Xiao straight to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy her a soft drink.
Su Xiao took it, smiled slightly at him, and said, "Thank you."
Actually, she wanted to say that soda didn't quench her thirst at all, but oh well, it was a kind gesture from them.
Even if it doesn't quench your thirst, it's still pretty refreshing for a moment.
Now that we've come to the supply and marketing cooperative, there's no reason for us to leave empty-handed.
Shang Ziming led her to the clothing section.
"Bring that coat over here." Shang Ziming's eyes lit up when he saw a bright red coat hanging there. The little girl had fair skin, and she would definitely look beautiful in this bright red coat. "Try it on."
Su Xiao also noticed that the coat was made of nice material and liked it.
"Issue the invoice." Shang Ziming readily instructed the teller to issue the invoice and pay.
"I'll pay for it myself." Su Xiao stepped closer to stop him from taking out his money, insisting on paying himself.
Shang Ziming took her hand and said earnestly, "This is a New Year's gift for you."
A boyfriend giving his girlfriend a gift—well, that's perfectly normal.
Su Xiaoxin accepted the gift with a smile and thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Mu, I really like this gift."
Seeing that she liked it, Shang Ziming smiled contentedly.
