The total runtime of "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" is a little over an hour and a half.
Until the credits rolled, the female protagonist, Konno Makoto, was unable to meet Mamiya Chiaki, who was waiting for her in the future.
The "masterpieces" in my memory are revisited as I get older and time flies by.
We can still detect quite a few problems.
However, neither Lu Yibei nor Ji Qingqian are professional film critics. This trip was simply to pay for the tickets and have a little date.
I didn't nitpick afterwards.
They arrived at the cinema in the afternoon, and after the movie, the sun began to set, and its crimson rays began to envelop the square below the cinema.
In the past, they would have said, "Let's go eat somewhere," at times like this.
But now it's become "Let's go buy some groceries".
It sounds warmer; compared to "couples," "grocery shopping together" seems to have a more family-like feel.
Before leaving home, they had promised their grandmother they would buy groceries and bring them home.
"Go to the market in the next town! It's cheaper there, you know!"
Grandma is a "creature" who always occupies the most reliable intelligence network in the surrounding area.
They can tell you exactly which family is getting married, which family is having a fight, where vegetable prices are rising, and where vegetables are falling.
but.
Lu Yibei launched the Golf Gti.
"—They really didn't factor in the gas cost," he said helplessly.
However, to please his frugal elders, he was still willing to take his girlfriend on a short trip.
"Thump, thump"
The GTI's chassis still made a thumping sound.
Going over speed bumps felt like driving through a deep abyss.
But after shifting her little bottom and carefully feeling around, Ji Qingqian came to a conclusion:
"...Huh, he doesn't seem as robust as before."
“Yeah, I feel the same way,” Lu Yibei said. “The suspension has been adjusted.”
It must be Grandpa's masterpiece.
No wonder he rushed upstairs and personally handed the keys to Lu Yibei as soon as he heard that Lu Yibei was going to drive out.
—Grandpa was also secretly working hard behind the scenes to improve the young couple's quality of life.
Lu Yibei glanced at his girlfriend beside him.
—Well, maybe I just wanted to improve her quality of life.
…
The neighboring town is neither too far nor too near.
It only takes twenty minutes to drive to the vegetable market over there.
Lu Yibei casually picked out some ingredients.
At his girlfriend's insistence, he decided to help her improve her culinary skills.
She had already mastered the art of steaming hairy crabs—to put it simply, she could boil the water.
Next up is some advanced tutorials.
— Stir-fried tomatoes with tomatoes.
Then, under his girlfriend's accusing gaze that seemed to say, "Do I look like an idiot?", Lu Yibei changed it to "scrambled eggs with tomatoes".
Having just asked his grandmother if they had run out of eggs, Lu Yibei weighed some and took them back with him.
After obtaining the "heavenly treasures" they would later use, Lady Ji was especially overjoyed.
Although her expression remained unchanged, still that icy goddess face, her hand, which was helping Lu Yibei carry the bag of eggs, swayed back and forth as she walked.
"Be careful not to beat the eggs too well—" Lu Yibei reminded her with amusement.
I don't know if it will actually mix well, or whether mixing well is a good thing or a bad thing.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Ji immediately ignored it, even clutching the entire bag of eggs to her chest with a cautious expression, as if afraid something might happen to them.
After putting the groceries into the car.
Ji Qingqian had already opened the passenger seat and sat inside, even obediently fastening her seatbelt.
Lu Yibei checked briefly and found:
"I forgot to buy seaweed."
Seaweed soaked in soup.
This is a divine dish that even the female warrior Ji can easily master, and its skill level is no less than that of instant noodles.
"...Oh my god..."
Lu Yibei wanted to say, "I'll go buy it, you can stay here."
But Ms. Ji, who had just fastened her seatbelt, unbuckled it without saying a word.
She didn't say anything, but her expression conveyed the message that she would go wherever he went.
Lu Yibei paused for a moment, then smiled slightly.
There's no need to go to the market specifically to buy seaweed.
You can find them in the grocery stores around the market; they're quite cheap.
After Lu Yibei paid, Ji Qingqian carried the seaweed out.
As soon as she reached the entrance, Ji Qingqian stopped to admire two things that had caught her eye the moment she stepped inside.
Shake! Shake! Car!
That's the kind.
—Grandpa, come over and play!
What is Dad's dad called?
—My father's father is called Grandpa…
…that thing.
These kinds of rocking horses have almost disappeared in Lu Yibei's hometown.
Even if they exist, they're usually in the children's play area of the mall; it's quite rare to see loose, unorganized items like these.
As is well known, grocery stores next to the market usually don't do very well—perhaps only Lu Yibei's place is like that.
Lady Ji glanced around and, finding no one watching, a smug smile appeared on her face.
He took out two coins.
—Just now at the grocery store, she specifically asked her boyfriend to exchange the coins with the owner.
But soon, the faint smile disappeared.
With her long legs straddling the seat, she couldn't fit down at all.
Ji Qingqian pursed her lips, looking displeased.
Is this the pain that comes with growing up?
"—There's no need to escalate this to such a level!" Lu Yibei complained.
"Hmph, I wish I could be like my senior."
"There's nothing good about it."
"For Ah Bei, that's true. Because you have a leg fetish—"
Ji Qing glanced sideways at Lu Yibei.
Lu Yibei: ...
Even if it's the absolute truth, you can't just blurt it out!
Helpless, Lu Yibei spread his hands toward his girlfriend and said, "Okay, give me the coin."
Ji Qingqian pouted and tossed two coins into Lu Yibei's inbox.
She thought the two of them were going back.
Her boyfriend suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up.
Ji Qingqian gasped softly.
Then I heard my boyfriend behind me swaying and making a mechanical voice: "What's Daddy's dad called? Daddy's dad is called grandpa..."
Ji Qingqian couldn't help but chuckle.
Then his eyebrows curved slightly and his eyes rolled gently.
She whispered to her boyfriend behind her:
"Qianqian doesn't need to move, Abei will do it all automatically—"
*Smack*
Lu Yibei put her down.
Then a chop to the head landed on her.
"—I'm not playing anymore."
