Movie

Xu Feifei woke up at a time past nine o'clock. Without a cell phone, she went to bed exceptionally early and woke up much earlier than usual.

After going outside, I saw that Lin Yuan's room was open, but she wasn't there.

After going downstairs, I found that the living room had been completely renovated.

Last night it was ruins, this morning it's fully renovated. The piles of rubble in the living room have been cleared away, and the decorations and furniture have been replaced with new ones.

Lin Yuan came out from the kitchen and said, "Did you sleep well last night? I've already made breakfast, come and eat quickly."

"fine."

Xu Feifei glanced around and noticed that not only the living room had changed, but the kitchen had also been completely redecorated. The broken pots and pans were nowhere to be found; all the cookware had been replaced with new ones.

Xu Feifei looked around. "Where are the things that were piled up here last night? How come they've been replaced overnight? So fast?"

Lin Yuan placed a bowl of porridge in front of her, peeling an egg as he said, "This place was a real mess yesterday, with broken pieces and such on the ground. If you don't want any of the broken pieces to hurt you, please clean it up."

Once the egg was peeled, she placed it on the empty bowl next to her.

Xu Feifei looked at the porridge and eggs in front of her and asked in surprise, "You made all this by yourself last night?"

Lin Yuan glanced at her and laughed, "You think too highly of me. I had someone come and set this up yesterday. I couldn't have done all this stuff by myself in one night."

Xu Feifei nodded and said, "That's true. But how come I didn't hear a thing yesterday when there was such a commotion?"

Lin Yuan paused in peeling the egg, then smiled and said, "Because I specifically told them to be quiet, and besides, you've always had good sleep quality."

After saying that, he put another xiaolongbao (soup dumpling) on ​​Xu Feifei's plate.

Xu Feifei picked up a xiaolongbao and ate it, saying, "You don't need to help me pick it up, I can do it myself."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan paused for a moment while picking up the steamed bun. "Okay."

"Time was tight, so the house was furnished rather simply. What do you think? Do you need any changes?"

As Xu Feifei ate, she looked around. The house was still the same house, but the new furniture and layout were quite different from before. The previous layout had a rather cold style, while the current layout had a fresh and clean style, which was the kind of decoration she liked.

Xu Feifei nodded and said, "It's fine."

Lin Yuan looked at her and smiled, "How about we decorate this place little by little, gradually transforming it into your preferred style? What style do you like?"

"Well..."

She had never thought about this question before, because she didn't know what kind of style she liked. So she asked in return, "I don't know either. What kind of style do you like?"

"Let's go take a look together in a while."

Xu Feifei didn't reply and continued eating her porridge. She knew she wouldn't stay long, and decorating the place in her preferred style would be a waste.

Who are they?

"Who are they?"

"The people you hired, weren't you supposed to have them clean out those things and move new furniture in here?"

Maybe I could hitch a ride back in a staff member's car, quietly.

Lin Yuan said calmly, "Oh, they went back."

Xu Feifei said in surprise, "You went back? Wasn't the workload here huge? Yesterday it looked like two small mountains. How could it be cleaned up so quickly and new furniture added?"

"Perhaps it's because I invited too many people, so they won't come up. This is our little world, just the two of us, isolated from all the annoying people and troubles outside."

When Lin Yuan said "I won't come up," he clearly emphasized it, and it carried a hint of warning. He knew what she was thinking, but he wanted to put an end to those thoughts.

Xu Feifei gave him a disgruntled look and pouted, saying, "I want my phone. It's so boring here. I want to play games on my phone."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, "Want to play games? I have a lot of game consoles here. What kind of games do you want to play?"

"Never mind, I want to watch TV series now."

"There's a TV in the living room and a projector in the bedroom. You can turn it on and watch the TV series you want."

Seeing that her plan wasn't working, Xu Feifei glared at him angrily. "Then I'm going to contact my parents. I want to tell them I'm okay. Is that alright?"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "That's fine. But I'll be the one to say it, you can't."

"What do you mean by that?"

"You don't need to worry about that, I'll take care of it."

Xu Feifei clearly didn't believe her. The last time he lied to her parents about the study tour, there was such a big trap hidden in it, but this study tour only managed to fool her.

However, discussing these matters now will yield no results, and Lin Yuan will not let her go back.

"Alright, then you can eat slowly."

Xu Feifei placed a small steamed bun in Lin Yuan's bowl and then immediately ran away. Being locked up here, she had no intention of doing housework or tidying the table.

She hesitated as she got into the elevator, looking at the buttons for the second and third floors. She wasn't sure if the small room on the third floor was still there, and she was also afraid that Lin Yuan would find out she had gone there and alert him.

After thinking it over, she pressed the button for the second floor. She needed to find a time when Lin Yuan wasn't home to go up to the third floor and check.

Back in my room, I went to the window and looked out. I couldn't see any buildings, just mountains and trees. It was completely on the outskirts of the city, and I couldn't see a single person.

The last time I went to the police station, I vaguely remembered that Lin Yuan drove for almost two hours to get to the city.

Wait, two hours? Is she still in City A? A two-hour drive could take her to the next city.

Xu Feifei looked out the window at the road that stretched out from here and was then blocked by dense trees. Without a car, it seemed impossible to get out.

She sighed, lay back on the bed, and recalled the various details of her past interactions with Lin Yuan. She couldn't quite understand how she had stumbled upon the story of captivity play.

A knock came at the door. Xu Feifei went to open it and saw Lin Yuan standing outside. She asked, "What's wrong?"

"Want to go see a movie together?"

"I'll only watch it if you take me to the cinema."

"Okay, let's go to the cinema to watch it."

Xu Feifei looked at him with surprise, then asked again uncertainly, "Really?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Really, let's go now."

This was the perfect opportunity! He seized it and ran, excitedly shouting, "Yay!"

Xu Feifei ran forward excitedly, and when she reached the first floor, she ran towards the main entrance. Lin Yuan grabbed her arm, "You're in the wrong place, this is the right way."

He pointed in the opposite direction.

Xu Feifei looked in the direction he was pointing, towards the living room, and said, "Aren't we going to the cinema? I don't want to watch the movie in the living room."

“We won’t watch from the living room, come with me.”

She followed Lin Yuan through a maze of turns until they arrived at a room. Lin Yuan pushed open the door, revealing a small movie theater with two chairs placed side by side in the middle.

"When did a small movie theater appear here? I've never seen it before."

"It's my fault for not bringing you here before. I'll show you around every room here from now on."

"Uh... I have something to do, I'll go first."

Lin Yuan took her hand and said with a pleading look in his eyes, "Let's watch a movie together. I've never watched a movie with anyone before."

Lin Yuan knew how to handle her; she was the type of person who responded better to gentle persuasion than force.

Xu Feifei took a breath, "Hiss~".

He asked uncertainly, "You haven't seen a movie with anyone before?"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Really, whether on or off campus, you're the only one I'm really close to. Feifei, will you come with me to see this just once?"

The tone of the last sentence was pitiful and helpless, as he looked at her with pleading eyes.

Xu Feifei couldn't stand that look and tone, so she agreed, saying, "Okay, okay, I promise you. What movie do you want to see?"

After Lin Yuan saw that she agreed, he happily went to start filming and gave her the choice of which movie to watch. "I haven't watched many movies and I don't know how to choose. You can pick the movie you want to watch."

Xu Feifei picked up the tablet and started looking at it. There were many movies on it, including recently released ones. But she never watched movies and didn't know which ones were good.

"I don't watch many movies, so I don't know which ones are good. Let's watch one together and choose one."

Xu Feifei moved the tablet in her hand over, slid her fingers on the tablet, and the two of them put their heads close together to choose a movie.

I flipped through several pages until my eyes were tired, but I still couldn't find a movie I wanted to watch. "Do you have a movie you'd like to watch?"

"I don't know, is there anything you'd like to see?"

"I don't have any either. How about we watch a classic old movie?"

"Can."

Xu Feifei clicked on the classics section and saw the movie "Titanic". She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have you seen 'Titanic'?"

I've heard about "Titanic" countless times from others, and I've even seen it on video streams from time to time, but I've never actually watched it. Knowing the ending already makes it uninteresting.

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "No."

"Do you want to watch this? I've heard people talk about it before, but I've never seen it. I'd like to catch up on it."

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, glancing at the movie length, and said, "Okay."

He took the tablet and pressed a few buttons on the screen, and the screen started playing a movie automatically. "Wait, I need to get something."

Xu Feifei stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

"No need, it's right here."

Lin Yuan walked to the back, took out a large bag of snacks, and placed it on the table in front of the chair.

Xu Feifei stepped forward to pick through the popcorn, grabbed a can of popcorn, and happily exclaimed, "I want this!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "There are still many here."

The moment the lights went out, the light from the screen shone on Xu Feifei's face, and she squinted uncomfortably.

Xu Feifei sat upright in the chair, but the angle of the backrest made her uncomfortable. She looked down and used the dim light from the screen to find the button to adjust the backrest.

Lin Yuan noticed her and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Xu Feifei continued fiddling with her head down, "Can you adjust this chair? It's not very comfortable to lean back in; I'd like to adjust the backrest downwards."

"The button is here."

Lin Yuan leaned closer, bent down, and pressed a button for her, hovering about 2-3 centimeters above her legs. "Do you need more?"

The two were standing so close that Xu Feifei dared not make any sudden movements, and said stiffly, "That's enough."

Lin Yuan straightened up, looked into her eyes, and smiled at her.

Xu Feifei turned her head away, not daring to meet his gaze directly. She nervously clenched the hem of her clothes with both hands, pursed her lips, and stared straight at the screen, not daring to look away.

The movie had already started playing on the screen, and a group of people were listening to the old woman tell her story. The camera slowly zoomed in on her face...

"The movie has started."
