Chapter 24 This is not a disease
When the movie started, Lin Xu bought his ticket early, so his seat was in the middle, which was also the best viewing angle.
Zhou Yan and his friends decided to go see a movie at the last minute. The girl bought the tickets, but they only got seats in the back row.
According to Zhou Yan's suggestion, he should invite the girl to dinner when meeting her, explain that he cannot refuse the blind date and that he actually has no plans to have a girlfriend at the moment, and just apologize and be done with it.
But the girl took the initiative to ask him out at the cinema and bought tickets, so he couldn't refuse.
You can only invite the girl to dinner after watching the movie and make things clear at the same time.
Chen Jinhe tilted his head and said to Lin Xu beside him, "You see, all men are the same. When they go to the movies with their girlfriends, they like to find a quiet place in the back row so they can be intimate."
Lin Xu really wanted to kick him.
"Don't talk nonsense, Zhou Yan is not that kind of person."
"How long have you known him? How do you know what he's like? He treats you like a friend, but you don't know how he treats the opposite sex."
"I just know it." Lin Xu was a little angry.
Zhou Yan is a very good person. He doesn't believe that Zhou Yan is the kind of person who would touch a girl the first time he meets her.
But there was no evidence to refute Chen Jinhe, and I was so angry that I couldn't even concentrate on watching the movie.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll leave now. You can see for yourself." Lin Xu threatened.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more." Chen Jinhe sat up straight and watched the movie seriously.
Lin Xu was a little absent-minded at first, but he didn't dare to look back to see what Zhou Yan was doing.
Gradually, as the plot deepened, the movie became more and more interesting, and Lin Xu was attracted by the plot.
Zhou Yan sat behind Lin Xu and could see the back of his hairy head and one-third of his profile.
Lin Xu stuffed popcorn into his mouth one by one while watching the movie, his cheeks puffing up like a little hamster.
Zhou Yan was watching the movie when the plot suddenly took a huge turn. The villain who had always played the role of a good guy suddenly turned against him and chased after the protagonist.
In the tense atmosphere, there is a sudden shot of a face with a grim smile.
There was a gasp in the cinema.
Zhou Yan subconsciously looked at Lin Xu.
Lin Xu was obviously frightened, his big eyes widened even wider, his mouth opened, and his face was full of horror.
The popcorn bucket in his arms was deformed by the grip, and a popcorn popped out directly.
"Puchi——" Zhou Yan couldn't help laughing out loud at his lively expression.
The girl next to him was also frightened by the scene just now, and instinctively wanted to seek comfort from the familiar people nearby.
But Zhou Yan could actually laugh when he saw such a scene.
"What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Yan realized his loss of composure and regained his expressionless face.
"I'm sorry, I just remembered something."
"Oh. That shot just now scared me."
"Yeah." Zhou Yan just responded without much comfort.
The girl guessed his attitude towards blind dates after adding him on WeChat and chatting with him for a few sentences.
That's why we temporarily changed it to watching a movie. Firstly, it would be less awkward, and secondly, it would allow for more contact than just eating together.
If she was not satisfied with Zhou Yan, she would have hired him for the film and would not have argued about the money;
If she was satisfied with Zhou Yan, it would be natural for Zhou Yan to treat her to a meal in return.
Zhou Yan's conditions are not top-notch among the blind date crowd, but they are at S level.
He is young and promising, has outstanding looks, has only had one love affair, and has a clean private life.
If her family insists that she go on a blind date and get married, she must find someone she likes.
After the meeting, her thoughts became more resolute. Zhou Yan's conditions in all aspects exceeded her expectations, and she wanted to fight for him.
Zhou Yan supported his chin with one hand, and the light and shadow reflected the sharp edges of his face.
A pair of deep eyes were clearly looking at the screen, but they seemed to have passed through the screen and were looking at something farther away.
Zhou Yan had felt like he had missed something before, and now he suddenly realized it.
When Lin Xu got off work yesterday, he asked himself if he had any plans for Saturday.
He shouldn't ask this for no reason.
Could it be that he wanted to watch a movie with me, and when he heard that I had plans, he asked his good friends to come watch it together?
He couldn't verify whether this idea was just wishful thinking, but the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
A sense of guilt arose in my heart, as if I had stood Lin Xu up.
Even though Lin Xu didn't say anything.
After the movie ended, Lin Xu and Chen Jinhe walked straight out of the exit. When Zhou Yan and the girl came out, they were no longer visible.
It was lunch time, and the girl invited him to the movies, so Zhou Yan naturally had to treat her to a meal in return.
The two of them found a store with a nice environment in a nearby shopping mall.
Zhou Yan stated his thoughts without hesitation: "I'm sorry to have wasted your time, Miss Wu. I'm actually not looking for a relationship right now. It's just that Mr. Liu's kindness is hard to refuse. I hope you can understand. I'm sorry."
Miss Wu sighed: "You finally said it... But it's good, it saves me from wasting my feelings. Zhou Yan, do you really not want to talk about feelings, or do you not like me?"
"Ms. Wu is successful in her career, has an outstanding image and extraordinary temperament. I think no one would dislike you. It's just that I really don't have that intention now. It's my problem." Zhou Yan said sincerely.
Although Miss Wu knew that his words were flattery, she also understood his decency.
"Okay, we can't force it, but since we know each other, let's just be friends. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
"Okay." Zhou Yan picked up the teacup and offered a cup of tea.
When two people talk openly, there will be no barriers in their hearts. They can chat like friends and actually get along very well.
They are both people who have worked their way up from the bottom and are now in the rising stage of their careers. Moreover, the girl is two years younger than Zhou Yan, so her future is promising.
After dinner, the two parted at the restaurant door.
Zhou Yan went to the market and returned home to prepare dinner.
Zhou Yan has many specialties, but some of them take a long time to prepare and he usually doesn’t have time to make them.
It's still early today, and Zhou Yan is ready to show off his skills.
Regardless of whether Lin Xu wanted to invite him yesterday, he noticed that Lin Xu was in a bad mood since yesterday. Making something delicious might make him happier.
When Lin Xu received Zhou Yan's message, he and Chen Jinhe were in the Chinese medicine clinic.
He changed the clinic to get his medicine, hoping that the effect would be better this time.
The old doctor was speechless: "You are not sick, how can I prescribe medicine for you?"
Lin Xu refused to give up: "Why can't I get it? The doctor I had before gave me medicine to drink."
"Did that work?"
Lin Xu paused: "It seems... not..."
"Isn't that the end? Liking men or women is normal. It's not a disease at all. How can I treat it? If you have money and don't know where to spend it, I can also prescribe you a health-preserving prescription. Anyway, it won't hurt you if you don't eat well. Do you want it?"
Lin Xu was a little unwilling to give up: "But, I - I know someone who has adjusted himself and is already married."
The doctor looked at him sympathetically and said, "This isn't the disease you need treatment for now. Let me prescribe a prescription to nourish your brain."
Lin Xu: “…”
