Chapter 480: Won't Let Go

Not long after, Aunt Qiao brought in two more plates of seasonal stir-fried dishes, then quickly withdrew.

Liu Chuxue ate quite a bit of the vegetables; when half a bowl of rice remained, she truly could eat no more.

Just as she was thinking how to deal with the rice, Fu Yan Cheng reached over and took the bowl: "If you can't finish it, don't force yourself."

Liu Chuxue was about to say, "That's what's left of mine."

But Fu Yan Cheng spoke up: "From now on, whatever you can't finish or don't like, just give it to me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chuxue, a person from the future, felt her face flush; after all, this era was nothing like the future, where most men were full of male chauvinism. A chorus of approval rose in Liu Chuxue's heart: Not bad, points added.

Watching Fu Yan Cheng sweep up all the remaining dishes on the table, she couldn't help but look at his stomach: He can eat that much?

Fu Yan Cheng belatedly understood Liu Chuxue's gaze and explained with a smile: "Usually, military training is intense, so most soldiers can eat a lot."

Liu Chuxue listened to his explanation, then saw the slightly embarrassed expression on his face and chuckled: "I understand, and I can relate."

She couldn't help but think to herself that after they married and she joined the army with him, she would have to cook more at every meal so he wouldn't go hungry and affect his training.

When they left, Fu Yan Cheng didn't forget to ask Aunt Qiao to pack a portion of braised beef for them, and he carefully asked her to slice it beforehand.

After the two of them came out, they headed toward the cinema closest to Dongzhimen Gate.

Fu Yan Cheng drove the jeep directly into the cinema's backyard. After getting out, the two walked to the ticket counter in front: "Xue'er, which film do you want to see?"

Liu Chuxue looked at the posters on the wall; there was the newly released Spring Seedlings, as well as Sparkling Red Star, which had been released last year: "Let's watch the newly released Spring Seedlings."

Fu Yan Cheng, having received instructions, walked toward the ticket counter with a smile: "Comrade, two tickets for the newly released Spring Seedlings."

As he spoke, he handed over thirty cents.

Inside, the money was taken, and two movie tickets were promptly handed out.

Fu Yan Cheng held up the tickets in his hand and called to Liu Chuxue, who was standing a bit farther away: "Let's go; we've made it just in time. We can catch this showing right now."

They had just found their seats and hadn't even sat down when the lights went out.

Fu Yan Cheng's first reaction was to take Liu Chuxue's hand; once he realized what he was doing, he couldn't bear to let go. Using the light from the screen, he stole a glance at Liu Chuxue. Seeing she wasn't opposed, his courage grew, and he didn't let go of her hand until they were seated.

Before long, Liu Chuxue noticed that the hand Fu Yan Cheng was holding hers with was covered in sweat, which made her quite uncomfortable.

She struggled to pull her hand free, but that man of Fu Yan Cheng only held on tighter.

Perhaps thinking of something, Fu Yan Cheng used his other free hand to pull a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped all the sweat from both their hands dry, then took Liu Chuxue's hand once more. Seeing she didn't object, he was like a cat that had stolen fish, his smile never leaving his lips.

Throughout the entire film, Liu Chuxue watched the movie, while Fu Yan Cheng watched Liu Chuxue.

At first, Liu Chuxue felt a bit uneasy; she turned and glared at him, telling him to restrain himself.

But that man, despite the pressure, simply refused to let go.

Not until the film ended and the lights came on did that person, looking as if he still wanted more, release her hand.

He stood up and escorted Liu Chuxue out; after all, as a soldier, whether in physique or stamina, he was top-notch, and he shielded Liu Chuxue so she wasn't jostled by anyone at all.

On the drive back to the factory with Liu Chuxue, he even stopped along the way to buy her a bucket of malted milk powder and a bag of milk powder.

Seeing the items handed to her, Liu Chuxue asked: "Why spend this idle money?"
