Chapter 50 Let's go to the movies together
“Can I eat this?”
Qin Xu pointed at a dish on the menu and asked.
Li Nuo looked at Li Yan, his face full of hope.
Li Yan pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Eat less."
Mo Chuan put the entire piece of meat on Li Nuo's plate without hesitation. "You'll be hospitalized soon, so you should eat as much as you can now."
Li Nuo nodded frantically, time passed so quickly, three weeks went by in the blink of an eye, and two days ago, Brother He Yan even called him and told him not to forget the time he spent in the hospital.
Several people are in the barbecue restaurant.
This was suggested by Li Nuo, who said he just wanted to eat some unhealthy food.
Therefore, Qin Xu and Mo Chuan appeared in this barbecue restaurant which was a million miles away from their preferences.
"Don't be so eager. It will take some time for the barbecue to be ready." Li Yan patiently comforted Li Nuo who was eagerly waiting, "You can eat this first."
As he spoke, he pushed over a stack of snacks.
Li Nuo waited for the meat to be cooked while being fed by Li Yan.
"Come to think of it, the hospital stay is on Monday, right? Then we still have time tomorrow, what do you plan to do?" Mo Chuan asked quietly while looking at Li Nuo who was eating ice cream.
"Well... clean up and pack things for the hospital, because I'll be staying here for quite a while."
"I can pack it up tonight, right? Can't you leave tomorrow for me?"
"Yeah, no."
As usual, Li Yan refused before Li Nuo opened his mouth. Although he had no other plans, he still just wanted to spend the weekend together.
Mo Chuan did not give up. "There is nothing we can do anyway. Secretary Li, you can come along too."
"No thanks."
Li Nuo waved his hand to interrupt the conversation between the two and asked, "Director, what are you going to do tomorrow?"
"Well... let's go watch a movie. Since you like watching videos, you should like watching movies too."
Upon hearing this proposal, Li Nuo's eyes lit up. He was also very curious about this cultural industry which was a world of its own and he had never been exposed to it before.
"Want to go to the cinema?"
"Yes, are you going?"
"Yeah." Li Nuo nodded vigorously.
"Then let's go tomorrow. We can go shopping after watching the movie." Mo Chuan suggested.
Li Nuo was about to agree, but paused and looked at Li Yan quietly. Li Yan had not had a good rest during this period of time as he had been taking care of him all the time, so he hoped that he could go tomorrow.
Facing his hopeful eyes, Li Yan smiled bitterly and nodded.
Li Nuo excitedly took out his phone and started to decide what movie to watch tomorrow. He discussed it with Mo Chuan and asked Qin Xu if he wanted to go together. He got a positive answer.
Li Yan slowed down his pace and looked at the three people in front of him. He didn't know since when, they had been spending more time together and the atmosphere had become much softer.
Was it after Li Nuo lost his memory?
Qin Xu and Mo Chuan's attitudes began to change gradually, and the communication between him and them became less sharp.
However......
He raised his head and saw three people walking side by side in front of him, attracting a lot of people's attention.
Is it too close?
Sandwiched between the two men, Li Nuo looked particularly petite.
Before the group walked any further, Linuo stopped and stretched out his hand.
"Come here quickly."
Li Yan looked at the little hand he stretched out, took a few steps forward and grabbed it, and his complicated feelings disappeared in an instant.
Forget it, as long as my brother is happy.
.........
Standing in front of the mirror, Li Nuo smoothed his hair and muttered, "Is it a little long?"
"Brother, it's time to change clothes. We are about to set off."
Li Yan's voice came from the living room.
"Okay," Li Nuo responded, quickly changed his clothes and picked up his phone.
Li Yan glanced at his brother's clothes, a very ordinary shirt and trousers.
Well, it's very suitable. The ultraviolet rays are strong today, so it's best to wear a hat.
"Let's go, we're getting late."
Mo Chuan offered to pick him up last night but was rejected. Now he was driving to his destination in frustration. Oh, he also had to pick up Qin Xu on the way.
According to the plan, Li Nuo was supposed to sit in the passenger seat, but now it was Qin Xu who was sitting there.
"Can't you just ask the driver to take you there?"
"Why do we need a driver when you are here?"
Mo Chuan said sarcastically, "I thought I was fired? Turns out I wasn't."
"I just kicked him out of my house, I didn't fire him."
The two reached their destination in a constant quarrel, mainly Mo Chuan complaining and Qin Xu fighting back.
Li Nuo and Li Yan arrived at the agreed location first and walked towards the cinema.
Mo Chuan said he would be in charge of buying the tickets. The two of them picked and chose last night and finally decided to watch a comedy.
The appointed time was almost up, and Linuo looked around.
I saw two people walking towards me not far away. Their heights were very noticeable.
After exchanging a glance with Mo Chuan, Li Nuo immediately raised his hand and waved.
Facing the two people approaching, Li Nuo's eyes lit up involuntarily and he walked around them.
After seeing them so often in formal attire, their casual attire is refreshing.
"Why are you just going around in circles when we meet?"
"It's very novel. It's rare to see you two dressed like this."
“You’re beautiful, too.”
"Ah, I know that." Li Nuo grinned.
"...Haha," Mo Chuan laughed out loud, "It's not easy, you don't know."
Linuo gave him a bright smile.
Li Yan looked at the interaction between the two with a complicated expression.
However, Mo Chuan noticed his expression and changed his target with the Honey Sword of Mouth and Belly.
Li Yan frowned and started to speak in a sarcastic tone to him.
While the two were fighting, Qin Xu and Li Nuo stood by.
"...Does Brother Qin have any pets at home?"
"No."
"Then why do you always like to touch my head?" And so skillfully.
From the time they first met until now, he has always placed his hand on Linuo's head, caressing it gently.
Li Nuo's hair, which he had blown specially in the morning, was now a mess. He shook his head from side to side and struggled to break free from Qin Xu's big hands.
"I spent a long time blow-drying my hair this morning."
Li Nuo fixed his hair.
"I see. That hairstyle suits you very well."
Li Nuo's hands that were fixing his hair suddenly stopped. He didn't react at all when Mo Chuan praised him so much, but Qin Xu felt very strange.
"......Thank you."
Qin Xu narrowed his eyes. Why was this his reaction to praising himself?
He used his fingertips to gently hit Linuo on the head.
"?"
Although it didn't hurt, Qin Xu's sudden action still made Li Nuo cover his forehead reflexively, his face full of confusion.
"What, why is it like this all of a sudden?"
Li Yan noticed the two people's actions and quickly came over and pulled his brother away. Mo Chuan also looked over.
"Why did the director hit my brother?"
Li Yan attacked without any hesitation.
"Ah, it's not that serious. I didn't use any force at all." Li Nuo quickly grabbed his brother and said, "Okay, the movie is about to start. Let's go."
He pushed Li Yan forward, and soon, they arrived at the cinema.
Watching Li Yan queuing up to get tickets and Mo Chuan queuing up to buy some drinks and snacks, Li Nuo stepped back a few steps and approached Qin Xu, whispering, "I'm sorry about what happened just now. Li Yan said it too seriously."
"No, I don't care about that."
"I know that Brother Qin is very broad-minded," he paused for a moment, and then continued a little embarrassedly: "I just rarely did it at the moment, um... I was stunned by your compliment, so..."
"Really? Then I will praise you more in the future," Qin Xu smiled at him.
Li Nuo was stunned again. It came again. He really couldn't stand Qin Xu's sudden tenderness. His whole face turned red. He quickly took a few steps forward, looked away, and tried to calm himself.
When Li Yan came back from getting the ticket, he saw his brother covering his face with one hand and fanning himself with the other.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Li Nuo was startled, "Ah, it's too hot here, my face is a little red."
"Really?" Li Yan glanced at Qin Xu suspiciously, then comforted his brother, "There are a lot of people here, we'll be fine once we get in."
The movie started very quickly. Mo Chuan bought a small hall. He originally planned to book the whole place, but was stopped firmly by Li Nuo. It was just to watch a movie, there was no need, really no need.
After entering the small hall, we saw a few people who had arrived earlier, while the other audience members had not yet arrived.
Li Nuo wanted to sit down like this, but it was obvious that Mo Chuan and Li Yan would not let him.
"Brother won't sit with me, so why should he sit with you?"
"I have the popcorn. Linuo should sit with me."
"Just give it to me."
"What about me?"
"How old are you? Why are you still eating this?"
Among the four, only Li Nuo wanted to eat popcorn. He looked around and decisively chose to pull Mo Chuan to sit in the innermost seat.
He still wants to eat popcorn, even if he can't eat too much.
"......." Facing his brother's "betrayal", Li Yan looked resentful, but Li Nuo decisively ignored it. He would be hospitalized tomorrow, so couldn't he just eat well today?
"Let's just sit here. You guys won't eat anyway."
The reason why the popcorn is in Mo Chuan's hand is because he would turn a blind eye to Li Nuo's non-stop eating behavior, but it would be impossible for him to keep the popcorn in his own hands.
Just now in the lobby, as soon as Li Yan's eyes moved away, Li Nuo would quickly pick up one and put it in his mouth. Every time this happened, Mo Chuan would cover for him.
As luck would have it, someone else came in. Qin Xu directly pulled Li Nuo's arm and sat down beside him. He had to eat popcorn secretly. Li Nuo was quite pitiful. He just blocked the other side's view by himself.
"......director?"
"Sit down, I know you don't want to be separated from Linuo, it's only less than two hours, can't you bear it?"
"......." Li Nuo sat down reluctantly, but ended up being the one sitting the farthest away.
"It's not much anyway, so what's wrong with letting him eat it?"
Qin Xu said as he looked at the large screen that lit up.
"Sometimes I can, but I'm afraid my brother will keep wanting to eat it..."
"His self-control isn't that bad, and he didn't eat a lot of barbecue yesterday, right? Do you really not trust your brother?"
Perhaps he was shocked by Qin Xu's words, and Li Yan stopped talking and fell into his own thoughts.
........
The plot of the comedy movie is good. I was right to choose this one yesterday after seeing the high ratings.
It was just as Qin Xu said. Li Nuo ate popcorn, but he didn't eat it all at once. Instead, he ate one piece slowly every once in a while. Mo Chuan, who had been observing him, felt relieved.
The movie doesn't really appeal to him, as comedy isn't his hobby. But if a few people are going to watch it together, this type of movie is more suitable, so I chose this one yesterday.
The thing that suppressed his boredom was looking at Li Nuo next to him.
He scanned the plot on the big screen, and it was a tragic moment.
It is obviously a comedy, but it has a tragic plot. Why is that? Is it to show that the core of comedy is tragedy?
Mo Chuan felt bored, turned to look at Li Nuo, and then sat up straight in fright.
