In a studio apartment.
"Boss, change the disc..."
The girl leaned against her boyfriend, her voice languid yet slightly coquettish.
"Okay, okay..."
Lu Yibei smiled and agreed.
It's called "changing discs," but it really just means using your hands to control the mouse and click on the next movie you want to watch.
Mingming Ji, the female knight, was leaning against his right side, which was also because she was closer to the mouse, but she was too lazy to move and just wanted to act cute.
After watching "Love Letter", the two watched "April Story" and then "Hana & Alice".
They are treating today as "Shunji Iwai (film director) Day".
Lu Yibei quickly scanned through Professor Iwai's work:
"Next, let's add some anime elements."
Ji Qingqian raised her eyes: "Hmm?"
"What do you think of this film, 'Fireworks Rising, Should We See It From Below or From the Side'?"
"...I haven't seen it."
Ji Qingqian finally brought her little head closer to the computer: "...It's directed by Akiyuki Shinbo...The original work is by Iwai-sensei."
"Love Letter" and "Hana & Alice" are both famous works, and Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian had read them before.
While "April Story" is also an excellent film, it is not as well-known as the previous two. Even though it has the reputation of being "a love letter to Takako Matsu", many people do not even know Takako Matsu. So it was a completely new movie-watching experience for the young couple.
The same applies to this book, "Fireworks Rising: Should We Look at Them from Below or From the Side?"
"Let's have two old films and two new films," Lu Yibei said.
“…It’s up to you to decide,” Ji Qingqian replied.
She recalled that Akiyuki Shinbo's representative works were the Monogatari series, and that he also directed Durarara!!.
He is an animation director with a very unique and charismatic style.
With Shunji Iwai's original work as a foundation, it shouldn't be too bad.
She shrank her neck, still holding the boy, her soft body leaning against him.
"...It's a little small."
Ji Qingqian brought up the old topic again.
Lu Yibei had a bedside table, so the two of them put their laptops on the bed to watch movies.
However, laptops are limited in size; even with a large screen, it's only 18 inches, which isn't very comfortable for watching movies.
The legendary TV left behind by the previous tenant in Lu Yibei's room is indeed a 32-inch "super large screen," but it's high-end, it's 1080p... the actual display effect is far inferior to this laptop.
"Shall we buy a projector?" Ji Qingqian suggested, "We can take advantage of the 10 billion yuan subsidy program—"
"Shut up, did you get paid for advertising?"
Lu Yibei interrupted, and to prove his innocence, he said, "It's all a lie... Besides, my room is a bit small, so it's not convenient to buy a projector."
"…oh."
Ji Qingqian pursed her lips, seemingly somewhat disappointed.
But it doesn't matter, as long as the movie is watchable.
For her, the person who watches the movie with her is more important.
Lu Yibei thought to himself, thankfully his girlfriend didn't suggest, "How about we buy an apartment?"
However, he still noticed a slight disappointment in Ji Qingqian's eyes, though it was quickly replaced by a sense of relief...
"I'll see if there's a suitable TV later, and buy one that's a bit cheaper. We won't feel bad if we can't take it with us when we graduate," Lu Yibei said.
"...Okay~ Hehe."
Ji Qingqian winked playfully, hugging the boy's arm even tighter. She suddenly asked, "'Graduation'... Abei, what do you think we'll do after we graduate?"
"You're only a freshman."
Lu Yibei helplessly reached out and smoothed the girl's hair: "Besides, it's only been a little over two months since the start of freshman year. Are you already thinking about what will happen four years from now?"
“That’s called being prepared for a rainy day.” Ji Qingqian raised her snow-white chin slightly with a hint of pride: “I’m a visionary eagle~ Do you understand strategic planning?”
"Then let's think about what to have for dinner."
"I'll eat you."
As Ji Qingqian spoke, she gave her boyfriend a sweet kiss on the cheek.
Lu Yibei said seriously, "That might not be enough to fill your stomach. Let's check Meituan instead."
"…Um."
Ji Qingqian reached for her phone with her other hand, opened the food delivery app, and said, "Let's go back after dinner and the movie."
Lu Yibei smiled:
"Not staying overnight?"
Ji Qingqian shook her head, looking somewhat sad:
“I’m a little worried about Ma Jiaojiao… I have a feeling she’s been unhappy lately. I can’t help her, but I still hope to go back and see her.”
“Mm,” Lu Yibei said.
His girlfriend is like this.
The surface is cold, but the heart is warm.
She didn't show many expressions, but her emotions were no less than anyone else's.
"Just let me know if you need anything."
…
Overall, this last tender moment was a failure.
Firstly, the book Lu Yibei chose, "The Rising Fireworks: Viewed from Above or from the Side," was not particularly interesting.
It could even be described as being completely shrouded in mystery.
Works created by combining two famous figures are not necessarily excellent.
Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian were still frowning deeply even as they watched the end credits, and then they both sighed together:
"Naniji Mono?"
I felt empty, lonely, and cold after watching it.
Secondly, the takeout food that Ji Qing tried was quite mediocre.
I ate a variety of flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty.
Ji Qingqian poked at her rice with her chopsticks in dissatisfaction, complaining as she did so:
"Abei."
"ah?"
"I want to eat your cooking."
