Chapter 1638: The Most Romantic Thing

Feisu Chinese.

Does this guy really have four stomachs?

So Zirui opened the sundae and fed it to her with a spoon.

One spoonful.

One spoonful.

Another spoonful.

Qi Shishi closed her mouth, displeased: "Why don't you eat any yourself?"

Sheng Zirui: "I don't like sweets."

Qi Shishi:...

What a stereotypical dense guy, not romantic at all.

"I'm teasing you."

Zirui scooped a spoonful and put it in his own mouth.

As a result, he was glared at again.

He was puzzled: "Is it still wrong? It's one spoonful for you and one for me, oh! Do you think I'm eating too little?"

So he scooped another spoonful and put it into his own mouth.

And another spoonful.

"Now it's fair!"

Qi Shishi:...

What she wanted wasn't fairness, it was romance!

She used her eyes to signal, glancing at the young couple beside them.

The couple next to them were eating so slowly; they had been eating one sundae for half an hour, and it had even melted before they finished.

With such an obvious hint, Zirui still didn't understand: "What, did I do something wrong?"

Qi Shishi:...

She had no choice but to say it clearly. She leaned close to Zirui and whispered: "Look at them, they are feeding each other, not you distributing it alone!" "Oh! So that's how it is!"

He slapped his own forehead; he was so stupid.

So the two of them learned from the young couple next to them, one spoonful for you and one for me, feeding each other ice cream.

At first, they both felt a little embarrassed, but gradually they became immersed in the sweetness of the interaction, with only each other in their eyes!

This sundae was so sweet, it went straight to their hearts.

If time could freeze, how wonderful it would be to stay in this moment forever.

But that was impossible; no matter how slowly they ate, they couldn't eat anymore.

Zirui suggested: "Let's take a photo together."

Shi Shi hesitated: "Can the photo be kept?"

"Of course, if we put it in a secure place where only we can see it, it won't disturb anyone else."

"Okay!"

So the two of them leaned their heads together, made a funny pose, and used the phone to record this precious moment.

Zirui saved the photo into the hidden function of his phone.

Qi Shishi, however, generously posted it to her Moments.

Her Moments were only open to Sheng Zirui, so there was no need to hide it specifically.

After a full meal, what else should a couple do? The two of them searched Baidu, and finally, with blushing faces, decided—to watch a movie!

To watch a horror movie.

The movie theater was pitch black.

The huge screen emitted a ghostly green light, and the occupancy rate was low, with a few couples sitting here and there.

There were few people to begin with, and combined with the terrifying background music transmitted through the loudspeakers, the girls were all scared into shivering in the boys' arms.

Only Zirui and Qi Shishi sat bolt upright; the two of them didn't look like they were here to watch a movie, but rather to critique it!

"This part is wrong, it shouldn't be like this."

"It doesn't follow logic."

"Ghosts don't have shadows; this director is too careless."

"Aren't ghosts afraid of light? Why is there still light later on?"

"Where did the blood come from?"

The two of them were like "ten thousand whys," sitting in the movie theater and ruining the mood, quickly causing dissatisfaction among the people around them.

"Hey! What did you come here for? Can you not ruin the atmosphere?"

"Exactly, with you two talking, the movie isn't even scary anymore."

"Sorry."

"Sorry."

After the two apologized, they suddenly realized.

That's right, coming to watch a horror movie is about the atmosphere, not the logic!

They stopped talking, and Qi Shishi also wanted to be like a delicate bird leaning on her boyfriend, but she was still a little embarrassed.

While she hesitated, Zirui stretched out his arm and gently pulled her into his arms, and she leaned against his shoulder accordingly.

Although they liked each other, this was their first intimate contact, and Qi Shishi was incredibly nervous; her little face was flushed red and her forehead was covered in sweat, but fortunately, the theater lights were dim, so even if she was sweating, no one could see.

But Zirui could feel her heartbeat, and he was also a bit nervous.

This was the first time Qi Shishi had such intimate contact with a boy, and was it not the same for him?

He had never known that his own heart could race like this, "thump-thump," as if it were about to leap out of his chest.

His whole body was stiff, every muscle tense. Neither of them spoke anymore, silently listening to the sound of the other's heartbeat.

Neither of them cared anymore about what was playing on the screen for the rest of the movie.

Zirui stole a glance at Qi Shishi and discovered a pair of sparkling eyes staring at him.

Their gazes collided and quickly darted away, their hearts pounding like startled deer.

Zirui wanted to kiss her, but felt it wouldn't be right.

They were two people destined not to be together; it was enough to just leave behind beautiful memories, so why invite harm to others?

He was a boy, so it didn't matter for him.

But Qi Shishi was a girl, so no, he could not do that.

He struggled to restrain himself, yet at this moment, Qi Shishi leaned in closer and closer, and just as their lips were about to touch—the lights came on.

Neither of them knew when the movie had finished playing.

Qi Shishi quickly turned her head away, stood up, and walked off.

Her little face was flushed red, and she walked very hurriedly, pretending they didn't know each other, not even taking her bag.

Zirui picked up the bag and followed behind her; she didn't stop until they had gone a long way.

Qi Shishi's complexion had already returned to normal, as if nothing had happened at all, and she looked at him with a grin.

She looked so beautiful when she smiled that Zirui stared at her without blinking.

"Why are you staring at me?" she chided playfully.

Zirui didn't answer, but instead asked, "Have you ever been to an arcade?"

"I haven't, have you?"

"I haven't either."

"Want to go check it out?"

"Okay."

The movie theater was on the fourth floor of the mall, and the arcade was on the third.

The noisy environment of the arcade made them a bit uncomfortable at first, but young people adapt quickly; they bought game tokens and stood in front of a claw machine!

Their old habits flared up again.

Other young couples had the boy playing the claw machine while the girl clapped and cheered on the sidelines, or they played together.

But the two of them were different; they stood in front of the machine and pondered.

"There's a problem with this claw."

"It must be programmed."

"How are you with computers?"

"Not very familiar, but I can deduce it."

"Let's do it together."

Qi Shishi took a notebook and a Hallucinogenic Pen out of her bag, and the two of them put their heads together in front of the claw machine as if they were doing homework, working through the logic.

They also looked up experiences written on Baidu, and finally listed four plans.

Zirui judged that one of them was bound to be correct.

Once the plans were set, the two still didn't rush to play the claw machine, but instead discussed which plan to start with; Zirui leaned toward the first plan, while Qi Shishi leaned toward the second!

Zirui said, "How about we make a bet? Whoever succeeds first wins."

She nodded in agreement: "Sure, but what's the stake?"

"If I win, you sing me a song."

"If you win, I'll carry you on my back for a lap around the mall."

Shi Shi objected: "No, Jiangzhou values gender equality; if you win, I'll carry you on my back for a lap around the mall too."
