Cinema
When they arrived at the movie theater, Lin Ziye realized that the action movie she was referring to was a police and gangster movie, and she understood when she saw the tickets.
"It looks good."
Lin Ziye said casually, thinking that she had good taste, at least this type suited his taste.
"This is really good. I've always wanted to see it, but I just didn't have the time or the showtimes weren't right."
Ji Jingxi said regretfully, otherwise she would have finished watching it long ago.
She believes that watching movies in a cinema is the best way for her to enjoy the atmosphere and the sense of ritual, and she likes that feeling.
Before this, she always went to the movies alone, occasionally with friends. However, this was relatively rare, as her friends all seemed very busy, and she was the only one with free time.
She lives a relatively relaxed and free-spirited life, always doing things her own way without any constraints.
She prefers to stay at home most of the time, for a simple reason: laziness.
"It is my honor."
Lin Ziye's smile was warm. He rarely came to the movie theater, but he had accompanied Yan Xiluo a few times before.
He went to the vending machine and bought a large bucket of popcorn and two cups of cola.
Every time he came with Yan Xiluo, it was the same. He didn't know if Ji Jingxi would like it.
"You seem quite skilled at it?"
Ji Jingxi joked, but felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She didn't know if Lin Ziye had any exes before.
"I wouldn't call myself an expert, I've been here a few times with Luo Luo. She loves to eat here, and you're a girl too, so I figured you'd get along well and I'd like to try it too, right? If you don't like it, you can buy something else, I'll remember."
Lin Ziye quickly explained, afraid that she would misunderstand him as the kind of man who had many exes.
"They're quite smart, I like these kinds of people."
Upon hearing the satisfactory explanation, Ji Jingxi revealed a sweet smile. Even in her sweetness, she remained radiant. Her sweetness and radiance could coexist without conflict.
Lin Ziye's answer made her feel safe and secure, as it wouldn't cause any misunderstandings. She liked that he had a mouth.
"I will remember what you like from now on. This is my first time being someone's boyfriend, so please forgive me if I do anything wrong."
He really didn't understand these matters of love and romance. If she had any needs or requests, she could tell him, and he would do his best to fulfill them.
He was just beginning to experience romantic feelings, but it seemed like they weren't fully awakened yet...
"What a coincidence! This is also my first time being someone's girlfriend. Please take care of me in the future."
At this moment, Ji Jingxi acted like a silly girl, even extending her hand to shake hands with Lin Ziye.
This was indeed her first time being someone's girlfriend. But it wasn't her first time liking someone; she had a crush on someone before, but after discovering that the guy was a playboy, she lost interest in men.
However, it was Yan Xiluo who recommended him to her, and since he was her brother, he couldn't be too bad. Of course, she was willing to try getting to know him, and she developed a very good impression of him after getting to know him.
"Do we have to be so polite between us?"
Lin Ziye asked blankly, "What's the right way for them to get along? They seem to be behaving so politely, almost like friends..."
"You haven't quite adjusted to your new role yet, so don't take it too personally."
Cough cough, she dared not say that she was still not used to having a boyfriend, she did not expect that she would be won over by him so quickly.
"Let's go in quickly, it's almost time."
Lin Ziye held a can of cola in one hand and had her other arm around Ji Jingxi's waist. Ji Jingxi was holding a bucket of popcorn in both hands, her face full of happiness.
This was her first time watching a movie with her boyfriend, and she was quite excited just thinking about it.
She would steal glances at Lin Ziye every now and then to see what expression was on his handsome face.
He seemed a little serious, watching the movie intently, just like a teacher listening attentively in class.
"Lin Ziye, would you like some popcorn?"
Ji Jingxi suddenly leaned closer, holding a piece of popcorn.
"I'll take it if you feed me."
Even Lin Ziye himself was shocked that he would say such a thing. How could he make such a request?
He subconsciously observed Ji Jingxi's reaction, and then Ji Jingxi suddenly teased him playfully. He seemed hesitant to feed her, biting off half of the popcorn.
Lin Ziye felt that Ji Jingxi was just teasing him, so he hooked her head and snatched the popcorn from her mouth.
"Childish, and he even stole my popcorn."
Ji Jingxi blushed and quickly turned her head away; she hadn't expected this at all.
"Are you kidding me? I'm not a pet."
Lin Ziye suppressed a laugh. It was clearly Ji Jingxi who had been teasing him all along, so why was he getting angry first?
"You shamelessly said you'd only accept if I fed you... Is that any different from being a pervert?"
Ji Jingxi felt she was right and answered him confidently.
"You can refuse me, instead of flirting with me. Xixi, do you know how beautiful you are?"
Lin Ziye's Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably twice as he met her eyes.
"I……"
Ji Jingxi was speechless for a moment; how did this crime thriller turn into a romance...?
"Hurry up and watch, or you'll miss the plot."
Lin Ziye looked away and said awkwardly.
He was always swayed by Ji Jingxi's emotions... He always wanted to look at her a few more times.
Ji Jingxi quickly sat up straight and began to watch the movie attentively.
Lin Ziye's heart couldn't help but want to get closer to him, and she secretly reached out her hand, wanting to hold his hand...
Ji Jingxi felt the warmth from his hand and didn't refuse, squeezing his hand back. Neither of them turned to look at each other, but smiled knowingly and looked ahead.

On the plane
Yan Xiluo nestled in Lan Jingyan's arms, looking at the documents. She hadn't been able to finish much of her work recently, and now she had to use every spare moment to complete it.
She felt her eyes were almost dry, so she closed them, snuggled against Lan Jingyan, and continued watching.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lan Jingyan hugged her and asked softly. In fact, while Yan Xiluo was looking at the documents, Lan Jingyan was also looking at them with her.
He could notice Yan Xiluo's every move.
Dry eyes.
Yan Xiluo responded indifferently, her mind still on the documents.
Lan Jingyan casually took out the eye drops that Yan Xiluo usually used from a small box.
"Baby, look at me, I'm going to help you."
Lan Jingyan spoke softly, unscrewed the eye drops, and carefully put two drops into both of her eyes.
Yan Xiluo quickly closed her eyes and rolled her eyeballs around, intending to wait a few minutes before opening them again.
Why did you bring eye drops with you?
She herself doesn't remember; she doesn't use it often, so it's normal that she doesn't remember.
Lan Jingyan is meticulous in everything he does, and he even remembered to bring this for her.
"I know you don't remember."
