Chapter 6: Far away in the horizon, yet he is right before my eyes. Face to face with the handsome...
All of her classmates and their families went to visit relatives in other places today. Chen Man was carsick and didn't want to be stuck in traffic during the New Year, so she just happened to come and see Yu Han.
The two of them had a great time eating takeout and snacks, and also talked about how many new movies would be released in theaters during the New Year.
"There's a campus-themed art film starring Jin Wei, and it's been very well-received in the three days since its release," said Yu Han.
Chen Man teased her: "Going abroad won't stop you from chasing stars."
Yu Han smiled sweetly. Actually, she has been quite busy recently because school has started. The two-year high school system in Singapore is very stressful. She is not used to the teaching pace, so she hasn't paid much attention to her idol's updates for a long time.
I found out that she had a new movie during the Spring Festival when I couldn’t sleep last night and was browsing Instagram. I saw someone liked a post, which was the poster of Jin Wei’s new movie.
When they first met last year, she saw him liking her idol's post. When she asked him about it, he said that he had met her offline, so he just liked the post.
But she was so envious that he had actually met her idol.
Chen Man doesn't chase stars, she only chooses good movies to watch, so when Yu Han said it was good, she directly bought tickets for the nearest show in the afternoon, which was at 4 o'clock, and the previous time slots were full.
With nothing to do, Yu Han went online again.
Yuerhan: "Are you flying today? I'm going to the movies this afternoon."
Qiny: "At the earliest, it will be in the evening. What are you watching?"
Yuerhan: "Needless to ask? It's my idol's new movie! You know who my idol is, so go support him if you have time."
Qiny: “…”
Qiny: "I'm not a fan, I don't have time."
Yuerhan: "Then what are you chasing? You're not flying during Chinese New Year."
Qiny: "Do you think I'm that free? I chat with my little ancestor in the morning, coax her not to be angry at noon, and chat with her in the afternoon to kill her time."
Yu Han suddenly became shy.
Yuerhan: "Block it, block it. I'll let you out after I finish watching the movie."
Qiny: “…”
Qin Yi asked inexplicably, "What time?"
Yuerhan: "Around six o'clock. I only bought a ticket for the four o'clock show."
Qiny: "Huanying Cinema?"
Yuerhan: “How do you know????”
Qiny: "This is the closest cinema to Lanzhong."
Yuerhan: "If I don't watch the movie, can I see you?"
Qiny: “…”
Yuerhan: "Alright, alright, block me. I can't possibly stand up my classmates. Don't block me first."
Qiny: “…”
Yu Han was actually busy, so the two of them planned to go shopping after lunch.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everything outside was bustling with activity. The old city during the day seemed to be given a sense of light and shadow and feasting and revelry by the red lanterns hanging on the New Year streets. Everywhere was festive.
The two of them moved through the crowd, eating and shopping, and visited one shopping mall after another.
It was already late when we finally arrived at the cinema, and the screening room was 90% full.
They bought the tickets late, so there were no central seats left, and they sat at the edge of the aisle.
Chen Man was afraid that Yu Han would get bumped into, so she asked her to sit second and she sat first.
After we took our seats, the lights went out.
The child next door was frightened by the sudden darkness and started crying softly. Yu Han glanced at him, then looked away.
The child cried intermittently in his parents' arms, and the two adults couldn't soothe him even though they lowered their voices.
Suddenly, someone touched Yu Han's arm.
She looked back.
"Hello girl, is the person next door also your friend? Are you two?" the woman next to her asked her.
Yu Han nodded.
"Then can you two switch seats with us? The child keeps crying, and I'm afraid it will disturb others watching the movie. If he keeps crying later, we can just carry him out without disturbing you."
Yu Han turned to look at Chen Man, who was also looking at them. The two of them locked eyes and stood up.
Holding drinks, popcorn and shopping bags, the two of them laboriously looked around in the aisle, waiting for their family to move to the aisle entrance, and then they would quietly slip into their seats inside.
After sitting down, Yu Han wanted to put down the Coke cup, but found that there was already a Coke cup on her left hand, so she put it on her right hand.
But the next second, she turned her head and looked to the left again.
Ah... She couldn't help but lean forward and tilt her head to look carefully at the face wearing a black baseball cap on the left.
The boy withdrew his gaze from the big screen and fell on her blatant gaze.
Yu Han: “…”
She smiled with her eyes curled up.
The young man's eyes flickered slightly as he stared at the smile, and he felt that the dim screening room seemed to be lit up all of a sudden.
Yu Han was extremely surprised and exclaimed softly, "Wow, what a coincidence."
Qin Yi nodded. He had seen her a long time ago. She was originally at the outermost position, but he didn't expect that she would be next to him as they moved around.
Their eyes met silently in the darkness for a while, and she smiled shyly, then withdrew her gaze and continued watching the movie.
Qin Yi looked at her for a while before going to watch the movie.
"No one told me it would be so cruel..." Halfway through the movie, Yu Han whispered to Shen Man with red eyes.
Chen Man also sniffed and said in a breathy voice: "Yes, it's so cruel. But Jin Wei is really beautiful."
"Hmm, hmm, so beautiful, my idol is the most beautiful." She reached out to take the drink and prepared to drink it, but as soon as she picked it up, she felt something was wrong, the weight was wrong, there was only one sip left in her cup, it was very light.
She lowered her eyes to look at the cup in her hand, then raised it again to examine the dividing line of the drink in the cup. It was indeed full.
She turned her head to look to her right again...and sure enough, her cup was still there.
Yu Han: “…”
She blushed silently in the dark and quietly placed the cup to her left.
Before it landed on the cup holder, a gaze that seemed scorching bright in the darkness came towards her from the side.
Yu Han raised her eyes awkwardly and whispered apologetically, "I, took your cup by mistake..."
Qin Yi glanced at the Coke in her hand and said calmly, "Oh. It's okay, you drink it. I haven't tried it before."
Yu Han became increasingly embarrassed and immediately explained, "I didn't drink, I didn't drink. I just touched it. You can drink..."
"I don't want to drink. I'll give it to you." He continued to watch the big screen.
Yu Han shook her head again and again, and said in a breathy voice: "If you don't drink it, you won't buy it."
"Buy a popcorn combo and get a free Coke." He said softly, pointing to the two elderly people next door. One of them was a grandmother holding a bucket of popcorn.
Yu Han understood a little. It turned out that he had bought popcorn as a gift. He bought popcorn for his family and didn't drink Coke himself. The old man probably didn't drink it either, so he just left it with him.
She turned her head and found Chen Man looking at her. When their eyes met, Chen Man lowered her head to look at her phone again.
After a while, he showed her the package on his phone and whispered in her ear: "That damn popcorn package with a Coke is only thirty-nine yuan, and we bought a bucket of popcorn and two cups of Coke for sixty-six yuan. What a rip-off."
“…”
"Damn it." Shen Man gritted her teeth, "I came too late to check out their set meals, and their staff didn't tell me."
Yu Han laughed, "It's okay, it's okay." She bought it, and she said, "No matter how expensive it is, it's still cheaper than Singapore prices."
Chen Man: “…” They both laughed.
She watched the movie very seriously. The plot became more and more ups and downs as the movie went on. Until there was only half an hour left in the movie, Yu Han felt a tightness in her chest.
She endured for a while, and when she felt that it was beginning to be difficult to breathe, she swallowed the last sip of Coke that someone gave her, stood up, walked over Chen Man and went out.
The family sitting in the aisle left half an hour before the movie started, and the child kept crying.
After she left, the area around her suddenly became empty, with only one person sitting in the four seats.
Qin Yi watched her figure walking away.
…
Yu Han left the screening room and walked to the waiting area. She struggled to find an empty corner among the noisy crowd to sit down and rest.
But the heaviness in her chest did not improve as the air filled up, and she still gasped for breath.
Someone walked by and she smelled the scent of chocolate. Looking around, she found a salesperson shoveling chocolate popcorn into a paper bucket in front of a popcorn cart. Next to it was a pile of plain popcorn they had just bought.
Her brows furrowed, despair filling her.
The theater was dim. She grabbed some popcorn and stuffed it into her mouth. She didn't know when she had eaten the chocolate mixed in with the original flavor...
Yu Han struggled to get up and walked over to the salesperson and asked, "Hello, is there a pharmacy in this mall?"
The man looked at her and said while busying himself, "This mall? I'm a part-time worker so I don't know where it is, but there's a Renxin Pharmacy about 300 meters across from the mall."
Three hundred meters.
Yu Han was about to cry. She covered her chest which was suffering from allergies and difficulty breathing, and moved back to sit down with difficulty.
After thinking for a while, she opened the navigation app on her phone while panting and typed in the word "pharmacy"...
The navigation shows that there is one nearby, the nearest one is 106 meters...
I don't know if it's in this mall.
Yu Han looked up and glanced around. The cinema was on the fourth floor of the mall, but there was clearly no pharmacy on that floor. Upstairs, there seemed to be a restaurant, but the floors above were indistinct. The floors below seemed to be filled with clothing stores and restaurants, and the specific businesses on the floors below were unclear.
Forget it, the movie will be over in twenty minutes. Let's wait for Chen Man to come out. She can't go up and down the stairs to look for him. She will have difficulty breathing if she moves.
A young man in black holding a cell phone passed by her and sat down in an empty seat not far away. While talking on the phone, he looked at a figure lying on the table who seemed to be breathing unevenly and weakly.
"Well, it's raining heavily there today. I came to see a movie with my grandparents. You can go ahead and get some rest."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Yi looked intently at the person on the other side who seemed to have heard his voice and was looking at him.
Her face was pale and lifeless, not much better than when she was unconscious before, and she was completely different from the charming and lovely look she had in the morning.
He frowned slightly, knowing that they were strangers, but he still couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"
Yu Han was curious: "You, aren't you going to the movies?"
"Well, it's almost done. I'm too lazy to go in."
She immediately mustered up her courage and said, "Can you, do me a favor?"
Qin Yi didn't hesitate: "What's wrong?"
Yu Han took a breath and said, "There seems to be a pharmacy in this mall, but I don't know which floor it's on. Can you help me check it out and buy me some allergy medicine?"
Qin Yi paused for half a second, then immediately stood up and asked, "What medicine?"
Yu Han told him the name of the medicine, and then watched the young man stride into the elevator not far away.
She lay down on the table again uncomfortably.
He left very quickly, in no more than five minutes.
However, the waiting area, which was once very lively, was now almost empty. Another movie starring her idol had just started, and everyone had gone in.
The boy put a box of medicine in front of her and also put a bottle of mineral water.
"Thank you." She was about to cry. When she picked it up, she found that the mineral water was already opened. Her tears fell immediately.
Qin Yi looked down at the palm-sized pale little face, staring at the line of water drops running down the cheek. He was stunned for a moment, and then stayed where he was without moving.
After swallowing two pills, Yu Han didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt relieved and felt much better.
After closing her eyes for a while to relax, she remembered something and opened her eyes. She thought the man must have left, but she found that he was still there, sitting on the bench beside her.
Yu Han was happy. She slowly leaned over the table, facing him, and murmured, "Thank you. Can I add you on WeChat? I'll transfer the money to you."
Qin Yi glanced at her and didn't move.
Yu Han tried hard to open her eyes and look him in the eye. "Hmm? Add WeChat?"
Qin Yi looked away: "Give me cash."
Yu Han was silent, thought for a moment, and then said helplessly, "I don't have any cash. Sorry. I just came back from abroad and didn't exchange any money for RMB."
"That's not necessary."
"No, no, you gave me Coke and bought me medicine and water. This medicine is quite expensive."
“Not expensive.”
"Are you rich?"
“…”
"That's not possible anyway." She struggled to sit up. "Is it inconvenient to add WeChat? Then wait a minute. My friend will come out soon. I'll ask her if she has any cash."
"Need not."
Yu Han was very distressed. She looked at him quietly and asked, "What's your name? I'm Yu Han, Yu as in Wu Yu, Han as in Handan." She forced a pale smile and said, "We've met several times. What a coincidence."
Qin Yi didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Yu Han stared at the boy's angular profile under the brim of his hat. He was so handsome up close. His face, hidden under the collar of his windbreaker, looked even whiter, as if it had its own glow.
Her gaze was too intense and she didn't know how to hide it, so Qin Yi was soon forced to ask, "What are you looking at?"
"Oh." Yu Han was a little embarrassed, smiled and lowered her head, "I think you look like someone. Sorry."
Qin Yi's breathing became quiet, and hesitantly thought about something...
"Are you a student of Lanzhong?" Yu Han asked him.
"Um."
"What grade are you in?"
"one."
"Wow, then you might know my classmate, Chen Man."
"I don't know him."
"Oh...where's Bao Tong?"
"I don't know him."
"..." She scratched her hair awkwardly and laughed dryly, but after thinking for a moment, she looked at him again, "Maybe you don't know any of the female classmates. Then, among the male classmates in the first grade of high school you know, is there a name named Qin?"
Qin Yi glanced sideways and looked at her intently.
