Chen Yao sat on one side of the sofa, picked up the remote control and clicked a few times to switch to the background, then asked Pei Shuo if there was any movie he wanted to watch.
Pei Shuo placed the fruit on the coffee table, sat down next to her, and glanced at the screen. "Just continue watching the one you were watching."
So Chen Yao cut back to the movie she had just watched halfway and told Pei Shuo: "This movie is a martial arts movie, it was made two years ago..."
Pei Shuo smiled and said, "Well, I know and have seen it. Come to think of it, this is also your first movie, right?"
Chen Yao looked at him in surprise, "How did you know?"
Pei Shuo: "I had searched for it online before, and I also watched the movie at that time. At that time, I wanted to learn more about you through your work."
Chen Yao blushed slightly. "When...? My role in this movie is actually very small, probably just a fleeting one."
Pei Shuo picked up a cherry and fed it to her, smiling mysteriously: "Guess when it was?"
Chen Yao: "After we got together? When I went out of town to record a variety show?"
Pei Shuo: "No, it was earlier than that time."
Chen Yao guessed again: "That means... a few days before they were together?"
Pei Shuo chuckled softly, met her curious gaze, and whispered, "Actually, it was even earlier, when you were still in the hospital."
Chen Yao's heart moved, and the hand pressing the remote control lost some strength, and her tone became a little softer: "So early?"
Pei Shuo: "Well, I didn't quite understand the inexplicable curiosity I had about you at the time, but now looking back, I understand. I think I've liked you for a long time, maybe when we first met, or maybe when we met for the second time. In short, I just want to tell you once again that I like you, from a very early time."
…
The movie resumed playing without my noticing, but the volume was turned down a bit.
"Then, do you want to... turn off the lights?" Chen Yao asked.
"Well, turn it off. I'll go and turn it off." Pei Shuo is a man of action.
After a while, the lights in the living room dimmed, leaving only the faint light reflected from the projection screen.
The clock ticked forward minute by minute, and the movie progressed towards its climax, becoming more and more exciting and thrilling, but the two people sitting on the sofa began to lose their minds and their attention began to shift.
They didn't even notice that the character played by Chen Yao flashed across the screen several times, which should have been something worth noting tonight.
An unusual undercurrent of heat gradually emerged in the air, as if silently intertwining and entangled.
When Pei Shuo stretched out his arm towards Chen Yao, she was stunned for a moment, but did not refuse and leaned forward directly.
And then...
In the background sound of the movie, which sometimes sounds and sometimes quiet, some other ambiguous sounds gradually appear, with a sense of tide and indescribable sweetness.
There were vague and indistinct conversations.
Pei Shuo: "Yaoyao, when is the next time we go to the movies together?"
Chen Yao: "You haven't even finished watching this one yet, and you're already thinking about the next one?"
Pei Shuo: "Well, prepare for a rainy day."
Chen Yao: "Then, let's do it tomorrow, after you get off work."
Pei Shuo: "Then...why don't you come to my house and take a look?"
Chen Yao: ...
