Chapter 41 Cinema
After a whole meal, Cheng Che was so tired that he felt guilty looking at the uneaten vegetables on the table. He turned around and scolded Li Zimai, "Why did you order so much?"
Li Zimai said innocently, "His plate has become bigger, I don't know."
In the end, this tacky dinner ended with Li Zimai carrying a large bag of food takeaway boxes and Cheng Che holding his small model. Li Zimai was also planning to take him to the cinema in a tacky way, but Cheng Che decisively refused.
"After dinner, we always go to the movies."
Li Zimai sat in the driver's seat, didn't start the car, and argued with Cheng Che, "Look at how the squad leader and the others went on a date last time."
“They’re not like us.”
"What's the difference? Aren't we both dating?"
"We are men! Why do we have to organize these activities?"
Li Zimai looked at Cheng Che in disbelief, "...Do you discriminate against homosexuals?!"
Cheng Che: “…”
"As expected, you still dislike me because I'm a man. If you were dating a girl, you wouldn't treat me like this."
"Li Zimai, please don't be unreasonable."
"Oh, it's my mother's fault. She gave birth to me as a boy."
"Lizimai!"
Cheng Che was finally taken to the cinema by Li Zimai, a special cinema for couples. In the huge space, there were a few sparsely populated couple booths. Each booth was two half-person sofas connected together, and there was an aisle and a partition between the booths. You could tell at a glance what they were used for.
The movie hadn't started yet. There was a wall lamp in the theater, and the dim light was enough for the couple who came in to see two boys lying in a booth in the corner eating snacks.
Cheng Che was very full, but he used snacks to distract himself to ease the embarrassment. He thought the movie theater was like a school lecture hall, with seats next to each other. He didn't expect Li Zimai to bring him to such an ambiguous place full of couples, and to watch a cheesy and disgusting love movie.
Li Zimai got some sour plum juice from somewhere, and Cheng Che took a sip, and it almost made his teeth fall out from the sour taste. Seeing this, Li Zimai held his hand and put the straw to his own mouth. After taking a sip, his eyes were so sour that he couldn't open them.
Cheng Che said with a smile: "You bought it yourself, drink it up."
"Don't you like sour food? I added lemon slices because I was worried it wasn't sour enough."
Li Zimai took another sip and really couldn't stand the strange taste. He was about to buy another one, but Cheng Che stopped him and said, "No, I have Coke."
Li Zimai sat back down and asked, "Do you like sour or sweet?"
Cheng Che replied: "I don't want to be so sour."
Cheng Che likes sour food because when he was a child, his grandmother liked to add vinegar to many dishes when cooking. She also often bought hawthorns to stimulate Cheng Che's appetite, asking him to eat more to gain weight. However, instead of gaining weight, Cheng Che developed a strange appetite.
Li Zimai went to exchange it for a glass of sour plum juice without lemon, saying that he wanted to give it to Cheche's favorite and couldn't compromise. Cheng Che said helplessly, "Then why did you compromise to watch this kind of movie?"
Cheng Che knew that he liked watching science fiction movies, preferably heroic movies with battles and monsters, the kind that didn't require much brainpower. Li Zimai's original words were that when the brain wasn't being used, one must absolutely relax, and one can't watch a movie just for entertainment and have to guess the plot.
"Don't couples always watch romantic movies?"
"That's for boys to bring girls to see. We two guys don't need to do that."
Before Li Zimai could bring up his "discrimination against homosexuals" remarks again, Cheng Che quickly explained, "We can watch science fiction movies and play games together. It's much better than finding a girlfriend!"
Li Zimai nodded with satisfaction and invited Cheng Che: "Come back to my place later and we'll have a go."
"...No, I want to go back to the dormitory."
Who knows whether he went there to play games or do something else that is difficult to describe. He couldn't trust Li Zimai's character after falling in love.
They fell asleep at the same time before they had watched a third of the movie. Later, the heroine was hit by a car. The loud noise woke them up. They looked at each other in confusion and suddenly laughed.
In the flickering light of the cinema, Li Zimai saw Cheng Che's dimples again. He leaned in close, his noses so close that he almost kissed him, and chuckled softly, "The movie is pretty bad. Do you want to kiss?"
Cheng Che subconsciously glanced around. They had bought seats at the very back, with half of the front row occupied by couples. There was another couple across the aisle. Cheng Che covered his mouth and quietly refused, "...No."
The male protagonist began to cry heart-wrenchingly, and the camera turned to his childhood. It turned out that the female protagonist had liked him from the beginning. The boy diagonally opposite began to hug the girl next to him, and soon their heads were pressed together.
Cheng Che's face was burning. Li Zimai twisted his chin and gave him a quick kiss, his lips curled up. "Now you know why we came to watch the movie."
Cheng Che lowered his voice and said, "If you want to kiss me, just say it."
"Then I want to kiss you now."
After he made his declaration, he lifted Cheng Che's chin and gently rubbed his lips. Cheng Che was about to open his mouth to say something when the other party took the opportunity to enter his lips and stirred them wantonly.
Cheng Che softened all of a sudden, raising his chin slightly. His elbow went from resting on the other's chest to unconsciously resting on the other's shoulder, gradually deepening the passionate kiss.
A love song was playing in a romantic movie, and a loud female voice penetrated Cheng Che's eardrums. From the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the couple across from him, their eyes wide open in the dark.
Cheng Che suddenly felt ashamed and angry. He tilted his head and wanted to end the kiss, but Li Zimai refused to give in. He bit Cheng Che's mouth and gave him a warning look, then quickly pulled his coat over the area between his hair and the chair, completely covering Cheng Che.
The space suddenly became dark, and the sense of touch was completely magnified. Cheng Che could feel the burning gaze, and even more so the warmth of Li Zimai's lips. The tip of his tongue was numbed by the sucking, and his fingertips couldn't help but clench and release.
After several rounds of back and forth, their lips and tongues gradually parted, leaving a transparent, silky line. Li Zimai rubbed the corner of his moist lips with his thumb and said in a low, joking voice, "Is it irritating?"
Cheng Che was too embarrassed to face anyone, so he pushed Li Zimai away and huddled under his coat, trying to catch his breath.
The movie is over.
Cheng Che didn't know what the ending was, and he didn't know what the role was. He only knew that the female singer in the movie was pretty good, and the cliché lyrics kept echoing in his mind, and together with Li Zimai's tongue, it made him uneasy.
Cheng Che walked quickly with his head down, as if he was afraid of being stared at.
Li Zimai held him back and said calmly, "I'm going to the bathroom. Do you want to come with me?"
"...No! Go now!"
Cheng Che didn't understand why Li Zimai always asked him to go with him to the toilet.
Li Zimai patiently instructed: "Then don't wander around, just wait here for me. There are so many people here, and I won't be able to find you if you go too far."
"Got it! Go quickly!"
Cheng Che found a secluded corner to wait for Li Zimai. There were so many eyes staring at him when they passed by. When the couple went out of the ticket gate, the girl looked back every few steps, as if she was afraid that Cheng Che would not notice her.
Cheng Che cursed Li Zimai a thousand times in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the exciting kiss just now, and his face turned even redder.
As Li Zimai approached, he saw Cheng Che's rosy face. His expression was cold and hard, and his broken eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, but the tips of his nose and ears were red. He was really too well-behaved.
He subconsciously tried to pull Cheng Che's hand, but he dodged again, "Hey, Brother Che, when can I see the light of day?"
Li Zimai raised the question again, "You won't let me post on WeChat Moments, you won't let me get close to you at school, and I can't even tell Yang Mingxi. Am I that shameful?"
Cheng Che hummed a heavy "hmm" and said with a hint of embarrassment, "Is what you did acceptable to others?"
"What did I do? You're so unreasonable."
"You are the one who is unreasonable!"
Li Zimai admitted his mistake perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, it's me, it's me, I was wrong, okay? It's all my fault."
A typical scumbag way of coaxing his partner.
Cheng Che pinched his face and cursed in a low voice: "Li Zimai, you are so annoying."
Li Zimai grabbed his hand, led it and put it in his pocket, smiling innocently, "What's wrong? It's just a kiss in the cinema. Don't you like it?"
He added seriously, "Brother Che, a man should be true to his body's reactions."
Cheng Che: “…”
On the way back to school, Cheng Che kept looking out the window, not even glancing at Li Zimai. He was half angry, half embarrassed. Li Zimai insisted on sending him downstairs to the dormitory, but Cheng Che said, "It's ten o'clock, and the car can't get in."
"Then I'll park outside and walk you in."
"You are boring."
"It's not boring. I'll take you downstairs to the dormitory. It would be best if you gave me a hug and a goodbye kiss. Only then will today's date be considered a perfect ending."
Cheng Che took the model down from the back seat and said speechlessly, "You're so vulgar."
"You really don't understand romance."
Cheng Che ignored her and said in a nonchalant manner, "Don't even think about it. There's no hug or kiss. Just go back and have a shower."
He felt that the huge figure of Li Zimai was blocking his way, so he walked around him rudely and held the model carefully in his arms.
Li Zimai said dissatisfiedly: "You are only concerned about this. You didn't even take any of the flowers I gave you."
"...It's so strange to take flowers. Take them back yourself. Don't waste them. Maybe you can even get some sunflower seeds."
Cheng Che was at a stalemate, unable to persuade Li Zimai to leave, and could only let him follow him with a large bunch of sunflowers. During this time, he encountered countless campus couples. When they followed him to the dormitory building, Li Zimai refused to leave and said, "I'll take you upstairs and go back to the dormitory to get something."
Cheng Che asked doubtfully, "What is it?"
"What's with that expression on your face? Am I a pervert? Am I following you just to do something indecent to you?"
Cheng Che's eyebrows raised, clearly showing his skepticism. Li Zimai was both annoyed and amused, "I really went to get something. I lost a USB drive, and I went to see if I dropped it in the dorm."
There was such a USB flash drive, and he really wanted to do something illegal.
Yang Mingxi hadn't come back yet. In such a big dormitory and confined space, it would be unworthy of the reputation of Li Zimai as a pervert if he didn't do something. When Cheng Che was being pressed against the ladder between the tables and kissed passionately by him, Yang Mingxi came back.
Yang Mingxi went to the university town to meet someone in person. He spent a day there and got to know several self-media friends. He also brought back some specialties from Hucheng to share with Cheng Che.
Yang Mingxi unilaterally believed that in this school, only Brother Che was truly kind to him, so he thought of all the good things for Cheng Che. He also explained to his internet celebrity friends who tried to recruit Cheng Che that Brother Che was very straightforward, spoke little and was very cool, and was not good at live streaming.
The above views are only valid before 11 o'clock tonight. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and after confirming that it was Li Shen and Che Ge, and that their postures were like that, he was so shocked that his upper lip and lower lip separated, and a huge egg could fit in it.
"...You...you guys keep going! I'm going the wrong way!"
With a "bang", the dormitory door was closed.
Cheng Che was confused, with shiny saliva hanging from the corners of his mouth. Li Zimai calmly wiped the corners of his mouth and prepared to continue. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Cheng Che was stunned by his kisses several more times, and finally reacted. He was furious and slapped Li Zimai with his hands and feet, "You did it on purpose! Did you do it on purpose?"
Li Zimai let him vent his anger without denying anything. He would not tell Cheche that he had asked where Yang Mingxi was on WeChat before going upstairs, nor would he tell Cheche that he had just heard the door open and that it was a little intentional.
Yang Mingxi waited at the door for about ten minutes and calmed down for ten minutes before finally convincing himself: This is normal, everyone falls in love, and Che Ge is no exception. His relationship with Li Shen was completely expected and was definitely not caused by any gossip post.
Yang Mingxi prepared himself mentally and was about to leave the school to stay in the small hotel when Li Zimai suddenly appeared. His chin was red, there was a small crack on his lower lip, the collar of his clothes was wrinkled, and his hair was messy, as if... he had been beaten.
Li Shen said calmly, "Go in and get some rest."
"Oh, oh. Okay."
"that..."
"I don't see anything! I'm blind!"
Li Zimai smiled and said, "Okay, you have a high level of awareness. Go in."
Yang Mingxi's nerves were tense, and he asked tremblingly: "Che...Will Brother Che kill me to silence me...I..."
"Who do you think my Cheche is?"
Li Zimai, who had just been beaten, said, "Cheche is so honest and kind, he wouldn't do such a thing as silencing someone."
He will only destroy me.
