Xing Chen doesn't like popcorn either, but one of his many strengths is that he doesn't waste food.
In the end, almost all the popcorn in the bucket went into his stomach, and Nan Ke just tasted a few of them.
Nan Ke had almost no energy to pay attention to what was happening in the movie. Such a dim environment was perfect for sleeping.
Not long after the show started, Nan Ke felt drowsy.
She tried to concentrate on the movie and was on the verge of failure.
Thinking that Xing Chen would understand, Nan Ke leaned back, trying to find a comfortable position to catch up on some sleep.
Unexpectedly, just as she put her head down, a hand appeared from the side and gently moved her head onto his shoulder.
Nan Ke looked over and saw Xing Chen taking advantage of his position to kiss her.
"Go to sleep, sleep with me."
"But the movie..."
"Do what you want, I'll watch it for myself."
Xing Chen took her hand, allowing her to lean on him more intimately, and said softly: "That's good, this way you can be with me."
In that case...
Nan Ke was not polite.
She was really sleepy.
But she didn't expect that she could actually sleep until the movie was over.
...and I haven't gotten enough sleep.
Nan Ke cheered up and asked Xing Chen where she was going next. Xing Chen smiled and helped her tidy up her hair.
"Come home. I'll buy some food and cook. You can go back and take a nap. Then we can have dinner together. I have to go back."
Nan Ke felt a little guilty, but he couldn't think of any good date ideas.
Seeing Xing Chen walking towards the elevator, Nan Ke subconsciously followed him, pulled his hand, and called his name.
"What's wrong, baby?"
There were only the two of them in the elevator. Nan Ke didn't care about other emotions. She hugged Xing Chen and buried her head in his arms, as if she was acting coquettishly.
"I'm sorry..."
"Why are you suddenly saying sorry to me?"
Xing Chen gently stroked the back of her head: "I didn't have any plans originally, I just wanted to come back to see you, hug you and kiss you like this, it's already very good."
Nan Ke didn't come out of his arms until the elevator door opened, but didn't say anything.
Xing Chen suggested that he drive, and Nan Ke had no objection and sat directly in the passenger seat.
At least I got some sleep. Even if I didn't wake up completely, I felt much better than before.
Nan Ke looked at Xing Chen's profile and suddenly asked him, "Do you want to help Mo Ge because you think he looks like you?"
From Nan Ke's perspective, he could clearly see the corner of his eye twitching slightly, almost imperceptibly.
He curled his lips: "Maybe."
He glanced at Nan Ke, who had been looking at him, and said, "But I know very well that he is not me, and cannot be me. I have you."
Nan Ke didn't say anything.
Xing Chen smiled and said, "He wasn't so lucky. Su Shuo didn't really intend to help him from the beginning, right?"
"Well, in her eyes, Mogo should be no different from everyone else."
"So I'm lucky to have met you."
Nan Ke smiled and looked out the car window at the trees flashing by. Perhaps because her sleepiness had not completely dissipated, she was in a low mood.
"Baby, what's wrong with you?"
"have no idea……"
Nan Ke said vaguely: "Maybe I just haven't had any inspiration."
"Su Shuo urged you?"
"It can't be considered as pushing me. She has been very lenient with me. It's my own fault for not doing enough."
Nan Ke closed her eyes and imagined a snow-white canvas in her mind. She really wanted to draw something on it, but she just couldn't imagine what to draw.
I heard Xing Chen say: "Don't worry, baby, I will work hard to make money. When I make a lot of money, you can paint if you want to, and don't paint if you don't want to."
Nan Ke smiled and opened his eyes: "I'm not just doing this for money now."
Xing Chen shrugged without comment.
Nan Ke's current income is much higher than his.
"Maybe I'm scared, maybe I'm worried..."
"What are you afraid of? What are you worried about?"
Nan Ke pursed his lips and said, "What if one day I don't want to touch a paintbrush anymore? If one day I can't paint anything, will I still be considered a painter?"
Xing Chen was silent for a moment, then comforted him, "No, even if you don't paint anymore, you are still a qualified painter. At least you have produced works."
Nan Ke didn't say anything else.
She thought of Quan Xiu.
Blindness does not prevent him from playing the piano, and Su Shuo always calls him "little pianist" or "little pianist" in private.
Even if he never plays any music again, people will still think of him as a pianist when they mention him, right?
But Quan Xiu has superb skills and great talent, while Nan Ke...she doesn't think she has left behind any work that she is very satisfied with.
Xing Chen first sent Nan Ke home, and then went out to buy groceries.
Nan Ke didn't bother to be polite with him. She lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep at first. She took out her cell phone and took a look. Quan Xiu didn't send her a message.
She suddenly wanted to know what Quan Xiu was doing now. Even though he missed their original date, he still went out with Yan Xuan. Were they going to meet someone else? Who were they going to meet?
As he was thinking, Nan Ke fell asleep.
She seemed to wake up once when she vaguely heard Xing Chen coming back, and she also clearly felt that Xing Chen came into the bedroom, looked at her, and kissed her on the face.
However, Nan Ke did not respond. She could not wake up and could not make any other reaction. Soon, without knowing whether Xing Chen had gone out, she fell into sleep again. This time she had a dream about something that happened a long time ago.
That happened before Xing Chen appeared in her life.
This was also the beginning of Nan Ke's breakup with his parents.
She remembered the day she learned her mother was pregnant. She was still in school and received a call from her father at noon.
"It's twins. Your mother and I are very happy."
Nan Ke was also very happy. She felt that she was no longer young and had long passed the period of hesitation about whether her parents would like her anymore after having a new child.
But she was more worried about her mother's condition. She was already seventeen years old at that time, and her mother was nearly forty years old. Giving birth is always risky for an elderly mother.
Nan Ke didn't know much about things like childbirth, but he had heard a little about it.
She didn't dare express her worries, especially when she knew her parents were happy.
She just said that she would go back to see her mother as soon as the holiday came, so that her parents could rest assured and that she could focus all her attention on the two little ones.
Dad seemed very relieved to hear Nan Ke say this.
But Nan Ke had too many things on her mind at that time, and she was young and inexperienced, so she couldn't hear whether her father actually said anything else over the phone.
Naturally, she didn't notice that he was hesitant to speak.
If there was only one little life in the mother's belly, Nan Ke might try to have a frank talk with the parents like an adult, hoping that they could decide more carefully whether to keep the child.
After all, my mother is almost 40 years old, which is definitely not the right age for childbearing.
She cares more about her mother than her unborn brother or sister.
But Daddy did tell her right from the start that Mommy was pregnant with twins, and they both sounded really happy.
Nan Ke did not intend to let them consider further whether to keep the two children. She planned to take better care of her mother when she had time and help her consider things more carefully.
But she was obviously overthinking it. The parents' attention to these two children was much more serious than she imagined.
She didn't need to worry about anything regarding the two children; everything was ready.
Later, when he thought back on the whole thing, Nan Ke realized that he should have realized it earlier...
At the very least, he should have thought about it during the time after he returned home during the holidays and made so many careful preparations. It was obvious that he did not start preparing when he learned about the existence of the two children. He had been preparing since early on and was just waiting for them to come.
Unfortunately, Nan Ke was wholeheartedly concerned about his "mother" at that time, worried about her health and the important decision to have a child.
Dad also asked a master of metaphysics to name the two children. There were dozens of options, and they didn't know which two to choose. But Dad said it didn't matter, as there was still time.
"At least before we meet them, I think we should be able to make a choice."
At this point, Nan Ke still didn't feel anything was wrong.
She has only experienced life and the world for seventeen years.
And most of that came from the education given by my parents, and I never thought that there were other possibilities in my life.
There is a possibility that there was a problem at the root. If you heard about it at the time, you would probably just treat it as a joke and not take it seriously at all.
If you have to find a clue, it is her mother's attitude towards her.
There does seem to be some differences between her and the past, and between her and the mother in my memory.
But Nan Ke thought it was understandable at the time. She thought that if she became a mother one day, she would also feel uncomfortable with two little lives in her belly.
Nan Ke didn't care.
Her father treated her no differently than before, but he was still not at home as often as before.
That holiday, Nan Ke's mother always found fault with her when she was helping out at home.
Nan Ke would also sulk, but in the end she would comfort herself with reasons like "pregnant women are the most important", "she is just not feeling well now", and "maybe it's hormones or something that made her so unreasonable".
Soon, the vacation was over and she returned to school alone. She told her classmate and best friend Su Su that her mother was pregnant.
Su Shuo was very surprised, with a look of surprise on his face.
"You do have to be careful, as it's an older mother... But twins? I've never had twins around me. Can I come to your house to see them after your mother gives birth?"
"Of course." Nan Ke had only seen people having twins in TV dramas, and she had never thought that such a situation would happen in her own family.
