Su Luyang was a little surprised: "No, no, you don't have to accompany me. I just feel a little uncomfortable, I just need to get some fresh air outside, you can go in and see for yourself."
Xiang Ling squeezed Su Luyang's hand and said, "I'm not feeling well either. I want to get some fresh air outside."
Su Luyang: “…”
"Let's go. If it's any later, we won't be able to see even the drive-in movie. I'll call the hotel and ask them to help rent a car." Xiang Ling said, "Actually, I've been wanting to see a drive-in movie for a long time, but I never had the chance before."
Su Luyang looked down at Xiang Ling holding his hand, his fingers were long, slender, warm and soft.
"That's 'Cats'... the 'Cats' you've been talking about for a long time." Su Luyang rarely looked vulnerable.
"What's wrong with a cat?" Xiang Ling smiled and touched Su Luyang's face. "I prefer golden retrievers."
Su Luyang inexplicably understood that Xiang Ling was calling him Golden Retriever.
But he was in no mood to refute. Su Luyang turned around and looked at the opera house door again. After taking two deep breaths, he said seriously, "Let's go in and watch the musical."
Xiang Ling didn't answer, he just called a taxi.
After the call ended, Xiang Ling said to Su Luyang, "I've seen Cats before, but I don't have to see it this time. I'm more interested in car movies."
Su Luyang sighed. How could he not hear that Xiang Ling was comforting him?
Seeing that Su Luyang still looked unhappy, Xiang Ling thought for a moment, then took a step forward and hugged him.
Su Luyang was stunned, then reflexively hugged Xiang Ling back.
Xiang Ling rested his chin on Su Luyang's shoulder and said slowly, "It really doesn't matter what you watch. You know what, Su Luyang, the most important thing is who is by your side."
They were lucky, as the movie was about to start when they arrived at the cinema. After checking their tickets, Xiang Ling ran to buy a glass of iced Coke and placed it between the driver's seat.
The hotel rented a luxury car for them. The car's audio system has all-round surround sound and excellent sound quality. The seats are soft and comfortable, and they stick to the back without tiring the waist.
The movie theater was showing a love movie. The hero and heroine were attracted to each other, their hearts were beating fast, and they were testing each other's feelings.
As they watched, Su Luyang and Xiang Ling became a little distracted.
The carriage was still too small for two people of their size. Even if they were breathing a little heavier, they could hear each other clearly, and it was so clear that it seemed as if it was right next to their ears.
The two of them hadn't been sitting there for long when the atmosphere began to become increasingly tense.
Xiang Ling's attention was not very focused. He seemed to be watching the movie seriously, but in fact he was more thinking about the conversation in the dormitory group during dinner.
Does Su Luyang really not care about wearing a skirt, and even actively wants him to wear a skirt too?
After thinking for a long time, Xiang Ling couldn't help but start complaining about Su Luyang's aesthetic taste. What kind of weirdo was that he actually expected a muscular man to wear a skirt?
"Xiang Ling." At this time, Su Luyang suddenly spoke, "Have you ever been in love?"
Xiang Ling was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No...what about you?"
"Me neither." Su Luyang said.
The two of them fell silent.
In the darkness, the corners of their mouths curled up at the same time.
"Then do you plan to fall in love?" Su Luyang asked again.
Xiang Ling's heartbeat began to accelerate, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind: Is Su Luyang planning to confess his love?
Xiang Ling took a deep breath, grabbed the Coke cup, and squeezed it tightly in his hands. A thousand thoughts finally came together in one sentence: "Yes, what about you?"
"I have one too." Su Luyang said.
The two fell silent again, but only they knew how happy they were shouting in their hearts.
"Then who do you plan to date?" Su Luyang asked.
Xiang Ling's breathing was light but rapid. He clenched the Coke cup tightly and thought to himself, here it comes, this moment has finally come!
How should I react? Should I agree to him? But he hasn't told Su Luyang about his hobby yet. Otherwise, I should catch him first. But would that be considered cheating?
Xiang Ling's mind was in a mess. He secretly glanced at Su Luyang and suddenly found that Su Luyang was staring at the front with an expressionless face. His face was tense and his jaw was trembling slightly. It was obvious that he was extremely nervous.
But Su Luyang's eyes were firm, with the courage to burn his boats and the impulse to do whatever it takes.
Xiang Ling suddenly lost all his thoughts. He looked at Su Luyang and answered seriously, "I want to date someone with a three-character name."
Su Luyang almost couldn't control his expression. He pursed his lips hard to restrain the corners of his mouth from rising wildly: "Oh, then I want to date someone with a two-character name."
Xiang Ling opened his mouth a little, breathing in and out forcefully, trying his best to suppress the restlessness in his heart. His face began to heat up again, and it seemed that even his eye sockets were filled with heat.
"So, when do you plan to be with that person whose name consists of two characters?" Xiang Ling's voice was a little shaky. As he asked, his heart began to beat wildly.
Su Luyang took a deep breath and stretched out his hand as if to take the Coke from Xiang Ling's hand, but at the moment when his palm was about to fall on the wall of the cup, he covered Xiang Ling's hand.
"I'd like to start from the next second if he wants to."
"Excuse me, is the person with the two-character name willing?"
Xiang Ling shuddered. Su Luyang's hand was very hot. Pressing on the back of his hand seemed to melt him.
This unprecedented throbbing made his brain rush with blood and he couldn't think normally. It seemed as if even his body was no longer under his control. Everything could only follow the most instinctive desires and impulses in his heart.
Xiang Ling sat on the soft chair, pulled out his hand that was pressed down by Su Luyang, inserted it into Su Luyang's fingers, and held it tightly.
"Was there an earthquake just now?" Xiang Ling asked with red eyes.
"No." Su Luyang said.
"Then why do I feel my heart beating so violently, like a landslide or tsunami?"
"Xiao Ling, do you... agree?" Su Luyang's voice was extremely gentle. He looked at Xiang Ling affectionately, hoping for an answer.
Xiang Ling almost drowned in such a look.
But it was this look that suddenly made him wake up.
Xiang Ling said with great difficulty: "Su Luyang, give me a little more time. I have something very important that I can't tell you at the moment. If I tell you in the future and you are still willing to be with me, I will never let you go."
…
After watching the movie, they didn't rush back to the hotel. They were going to fly back home tomorrow, and Xiang Ling arranged a late-night activity for the last night.
The destination was a music bar. There was a band performing there tonight. Xiang Ling was particularly excited before arriving: "I love them so much. The lead singer has a very special voice. I guarantee you'll never forget it once you hear it."
"How beautiful is it? Is it better than your voice?" Su Luyang asked.
Xiang Ling laughed out loud.
When they arrived at the bar, there were four people playing on the stage and the booths were full, so the two of them just found a seat at the bar and sat down.
"It's not time for them to go on stage yet." Xiang Ling ordered two glasses of wine.
This bar wasn't very big, but it was packed with people. It was obvious that the guests came from all corners of the world. Xiang Ling overheard five or six different languages being spoken.
"The environment here is very good." said Su Luyang.
"I've done my homework." Xiang Ling raised his head proudly, "Please save a seat for me. I'll go get some water."
Xiang Ling drank too much Coke tonight and peed a lot before coming back.
But when he came back, he found that his seat was taken by a handsome boy from his compatriot.
Xiang Ling frowned and walked over just in time to hear the other person's last words: "Good brother, let's go for a walk outside."
Xiang Ling: “…”
Fortunately, brother? Pah.
Xiang Ling reached out and knocked on the bar counter, successfully attracting the other person's attention. Under the gaze of the boy and Su Luyang, Xiang Ling said calmly, "Little friend, this seat has been taken, and this person has also been taken."
Su Luyang: “…”
Su Luyang smiled.
The boy was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and left his seat. But the next second, he left Su Luyang behind, stuck close to Xiang Ling and said, "Good brother, look at him, he's so hard, what's the point of having sex with him? I'm soft, I can do anything."
Xiang Ling: “…Puff!”
Su Luyang: “…”
Su Luyang's face turned black: "Get lost, he's mine."
The boy left feeling aggrieved. Xiang Ling sat back in his seat, trying madly to hold back his laughter.
Su Luyang raised his eyebrows: "I have a lover?"
Xiang Ling didn't answer, but pointed at the stage in surprise and said, "They're here!"
This band was truly interesting. As soon as the lead singer opened his mouth, Xiang Ling went wild, screaming silently from the audience. Even Su Luyang reluctantly admitted that the singer sang well, with a unique voice and style that no one else could replicate.
By the time they finished listening to the music and returned to the hotel, it was already two o'clock in the morning local time.
They didn't rush to sleep. They drank some hangover soup before washing their hair and taking a bath. Su Luyang had developed a habit of drying Xiang Ling's hair over the past few days. Every time, Xiang Ling would wash first, and then wait for Su Luyang to finish washing and dry Xiang Ling's hair.
Neither of them thought there was anything wrong with this, and once they started, they kept going.
After they lay down on the bed, Xiang Ling saw Su Luyang was still smiling and couldn't help but complain: "Isn't your face sore?"
Su Luyang shook his head: "I'm happy."
Although he didn't get the answer he wanted most today, the matter was actually already settled. All that was missing was Xiang Ling's final nod, so after leaving the cinema, the smile on his face never faded.
"What are you so happy about?" Xiang Ling was speechless. They didn't drink much that night and no one was drunk.
"I'm happy...I found someone with a two-character name." Su Luyang said.
In the darkness, Xiang Ling's face turned red.
"What's so exciting about this?" Xiang Ling said, trying to hide the truth, "There are so many people in China with two-character names."
"But the one I like most is right in front of me." Su Luyang said softly.
Xiang Ling's breathing stopped instantly. The sudden confession made him dizzy.
Xiang Ling didn't say anything. The two of them were covered under the same quilt, looking at each other in silence.
"Xiang Ling, I can't wait any longer." Su Luyang's expression suddenly changed. He moved forward and stopped at a very close distance from Xiang Ling, so close that he could touch him just by looking up.
Su Luyang said: "I want to kiss you."
Xiang Ling's face turned red, and he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
"But I can only kiss my boyfriend." Su Luyang said, "Can I kiss you?"
Xiang Ling looked at Su Luyang without blinking. He knew what Su Luyang meant, and his heartbeat suddenly became chaotic.
"Xiao Ling."
Su Luyang's voice was lower than usual and sounded strangely mature. Although they were only a few months apart in age, the word "Xiao Ling" gave Xiang Ling the illusion that he was being taken care of.
"I know there are things you can't tell me right now. I have some too, but so what? You told me tonight that the most important thing isn't what you watch, but who you watch it with. I think you're absolutely right. So, similarly, what's important isn't the things you and I haven't said, but whether you're willing to face them with me in the future."
"I want to be with you, no matter what happens, always. No matter how difficult or dangerous it is, as long as I'm with you, I feel indestructible."
Xiang Ling opened his mouth to speak, but was choked with sobs and unable to make a sound.
Su Luyang reached out and touched the corner of Xiang Ling's eyes, and his hand became wet.
He said gently and restrainedly: "Xiao Ling, I like you and I'm very happy to be with you. How about we try to be friends?"
