Standing in the only small park in Yancheng, Gu Changqing glanced at Bai Ruozhen, his hands sweating from nervousness. "Zhen."
Bai Ruozhen had been nervous since Gu Changlan and Gu Xiaoli left. When she heard Gu Changqing calling her, she replied softly, "Yeah."
"Let's..." Gu Changqing swallowed and said, "How about I take you to the movies?"
"Yeah," Bai Ruozhen responded, with the corners of his mouth slowly curling up.
Gu Changqing said, "Then let's walk there?"
Bai Ruozhen looked up in confusion, "You're not riding a bicycle."
"Yeah." Gu Changqing smiled. "Let's go."
Although the two decided to be together, they still didn't dare to get too close to each other on the street, for fear that they would be caught by the Revolutionary Committee who were arresting people indiscriminately and accused of some crime.
The two of them walked all the way to the cinema, bought tickets, and Gu Changqing said, "What a coincidence! There's a Railway Guerrilla."
Bai Ruozhen nodded. She had never seen any movie anyway.
"Come in." Gu Changqing looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he quickly pulled Bai Ruozhen's hand.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
As soon as the two of them shook hands, they heard someone shouting.
Gu Changqing looked back and saw a man wearing a red armband crossing the road.
"Run." Seeing that things were not going well, Gu Changqing took Bai Ruozhen's hand and walked into the cinema.
It was dark inside the cinema, and Gu Changqing was not worried about being caught. He pulled Bai Ruozhen into the screening room without even saying goodbye.
The theater was very simple, with a large white cloth in front and rows of wooden chairs below. Gu Changqing pulled Bai Ruozhen to sit in the last row, and gradually more people filled the front row. Many young men and women like them sat together, but their backs were straight and they tilted their heads slightly when they spoke, fearing being caught.
The movie started, and Bai Ruozhen hadn't recovered from the thrill and excitement just now. If they were caught, would they be paraded through the streets?
But it really feels good.
She glanced at her hand which was still held by Gu Changqing and tried to break free twice but failed.
"Let go." Bai Ruozhen whispered.
Gu Changqing pretended not to hear and looked at the screen with a smile on his face, "Watch a movie."
Bai Ruozhen pursed her lips and turned her head towards the screen, but she felt that the hand was scorching hot.
Bai Ruozhen couldn't remember what the movie was about at all. She only knew that Gu Changqing held her hand tightly and didn't let go until they were almost outside and it was bright everywhere. Only then did Gu Changqing let go of her hand.
Bai Ruozhen rubbed her fingers, which were a little stiff, but Gu Changqing's warmth still remained on them. She glanced at Gu Changqing and found that he was also looking at her, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Does it look good?" Gu Changqing asked.
Bai Ruozhen didn't even read it and answered casually, "Yeah."
Gu Changqing sighed, "It's a pity that I didn't get into it. Why don't you tell me about it?"
"Ah?" Bai Ruozhen was confused again. She didn't see it either, so what was there to talk about?
Gu Changqing smiled knowingly, "Don't you remember?"
"Ah." Bai Ruozhen lowered his head and chuckled, "I don't remember anything at all."
Gu Changqing thought his partner was adorable, "What a pity."
It’s a pity that I can’t kiss you.
Bai Ruozhen thought he was regretting not being able to see the movie, and he felt rather disappointed. "Oh."
"You two, it's you two, don't run."
A familiar voice sounded from behind again. Bai Ruozhen glanced at Gu Changqing and asked, "What should we do?"
What to do? Run.
Gu Changqing grabbed Bai Ruozhen's hand and ran away. Bai Ruozhen was glad that she had exercised her body through regular work in the past six months and had some strength, otherwise she would not be able to run.
They didn't know how long they ran. When they looked back and couldn't see anyone, they stopped and leaned against the wall to catch their breath.
Bai Ruozhen squatted on the ground, feeling her heart beating so hard it was about to burst out. Gu Changqing stroked her heart and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Bai Ruozhen put his head on his knees and his shoulders began to shake.
"What's wrong?" Gu Changqing was surprised, thinking Bai Ruozhen was crying. "Why are you crying?"
Bai Ruozhen said nothing, but his shoulders were still shaking.
Gu Changqing was anxious, "Zhenzhen, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. Tell me what's going on."
Bai Ruozhen looked up, there were no tears on her face, her little face was red from running for a long time, and her small but round eyes were full of smiles.
Bai Ruozhen like this made Gu Changqing stunned, and then he was delighted and liked her. This girl was his match.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Changqing squatted beside her and asked her.
Bai Ruozhen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I think it's quite fresh."
Gu Changqing raised his eyebrows, "Being chased all over the street?"
"Yeah." Bai Ruozhen nodded honestly, "It's very exciting, but also very interesting. And I feel like I'm going to run to death." In her previous life, let alone being chased, even running away was impossible. There were always a bunch of people following her, and whenever she walked too fast, someone would remind her that it was against the rules.
But here, apart from some specific rules, she can work freely. Although the work is hard, she is very happy. It feels great to earn work points through her own efforts.
Gu Changqing looked at her and stretched out his hand, "I'll pull you up."
"Yeah." Bai Ruozhen smiled and extended his hand to him.
Gu Changqing stood up and pulled her up with force, "Go back, I have to take you to the guesthouse later."
The two walked back and resumed their distance from each other by several steps.
Bai Ruozhen said, "Let's be together."
"Haven't we been dating for a long time?" Gu Changqing smiled.
Bai Ruozhen nodded, "Yeah."
